ZEC Surges 13% on Grayscale Trust ETF Launch and Bullish Technicals

Zcash (ZEC) has surged 13.27% after the launch of the Grayscale Zcash Trust ETF, which increased regulated investor access and institutional engagement.

The upward move is supported by ongoing bullish momentum, with ZEC trading above all major moving averages and medium-to-long-term technical trends aligning positively.

Grayscale's Zcash Trust ETF began trading in August 2026, opening up regulated access to Zcash for institutional investors.

Zcash implemented critical protocol updates with security fixes, introduced cbZEC for Base DeFi, and manages 16.9 million ZEC ahead of a projected November 2028 halving.
