What would settle it: Historical ZEC price data from a market data provider such as CoinMarketCap for the same one-year window.

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.
