21Shares ZEC ETP Coverage Splits on Zcash’s Price, Gains

September 23, 2026

2 min read

Reports on 21Shares' new Zcash and ether.fi ETPs agree on the launch details but diverge sharply on how much ZEC has gained in a year and what it is currently worth.

What all sources agree on

21Shares launched physically backed ETHFI and ZEC ETPs on Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam on September 22, 2026.
Both products carry a 2.50% annual management fee.
The products give European investors exposure without requiring them to hold the tokens directly or manage private keys.
The launch follows Grayscale's spot Zcash ETF listing on NYSE Arca in the U.S.

Where the reports disagree

What to make of it

The launch of the ETPs, their venues and the 2.50% fee are consistently reported and can be treated as settled; the size of ZEC's one-year gain and its exact current price are not, and a reader should check a live price feed before relying on either figure.
