Winklevoss-backed fund seeks Nasdaq listing for Zcash ETF

Reading Time: < 1 minute

A Zcash ETF backed by the Winklevoss family has filed a registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), seeking to list the fund on Nasdaq under the ticker WINK.

The proposed fund would hold ZEC directly rather than using derivatives or leverage to track its price. Winklevoss Asset Services would sponsor the ETF, while Gemini Trust Company would provide custody for its Zcash holdings.

The fund would charge an annual sponsor fee of 0.25%. Winklevoss Capital Fund has also indicated that it may invest up to $100 million in the ETF, although the filing says the commitment is not binding.

The proposed product would give investors exposure to Zcash through a traditional brokerage account without requiring them to hold the privacy-focused cryptocurrency directly.
