Winklevoss Asset Services has filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed spot Zcash ETF that would hold ZEC directly and seek a Nasdaq listing under the ticker WINK.<\/p>\n

The fund\u2019s proposed annual sponsor fee is 0.25%, and its brokerage-based structure could give investors Zcash exposure without requiring them to buy or hold the cryptocurrency themselves.<\/p>\n

The filing is not SEC approval, and it does not confirm that WINK has launched or begun trading. No trading date is confirmed, so the proposed ticker and listing should not be mistaken for an available investment.<\/p>\n

The Winklevoss Zcash ETF will work with @cypherpunk<\/a> on all Zcash ecosystem matters. https:\/\/t.co\/7nOrHFMRhq<\/a><\/p>\n

How Will the Proposed WINK Zcash ETF Fund Work?<\/h2>\n

Winklevoss Asset Services would sponsor the fund, while Gemini Trust Company, identified in the filing coverage as a Winklevoss affiliate, would custody its ZEC holdings. The ETF would hold the cryptocurrency directly and would not use leverage or derivatives to pursue its investment objective.<\/p>\n

That structure is intended to track Zcash\u2019s price through a traditional brokerage account. Investors would not need to set up a crypto wallet or manage ZEC themselves, although fund shares would still be tied to the price of the underlying cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
