Winklevoss Asset Services has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a spot Zcash (ZEC) exchange-traded fund, according to multiple outlets. The proposed product would trade on Nasdaq under the ticker “WINK” and would hold ZEC directly. A 0.25% fee is cited in reporting, with Gemini listed as the fund’s custodian.
The filings place the proposal in the broader context of growing institutional interest in Zcash, including demand for regulated access to privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies. Cointelegraph also reports that Winklevoss Capital affiliates are considering an investment of up to $100 million. Other coverage frames the effort as a potential competitive alternative to existing Zcash-related ETF products, such as Grayscale’s ZCSH.
Outlets differ mainly on emphasis—some focus on the ETF’s terms and the direct ZEC exposure, while others highlight funding scale and its place in the current market landscape for Zcash investment vehicles. All reports reference the same overall filing for Nasdaq listing under “WINK.”
