​​Zcash (ZEC)

Originally developed by the Electric Coin Company (ECC), Zcash is positioned to serve as a foundational layer for a global and digital economy.

Zcash is expanding its digital ecosystem. In October, Zcash reached a milestone, as shares have begun trading for the Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZCSH) on the OTCQX Best Market.

The OTCQX Best Market represents the highest tier of blue-chip stocks from around the world and has strict entry requirements. Securities on over-the-counter (OTC) markets can be bought and sold by any investor, from large institutions to individual investors through a registered broker.

This is major for the adoption of Zcash’s native token, ZEC, as the Grayscale Trust will bring more exposure to the asset through a major investment vehicle, avoiding the responsibilities of trading, storing, and safekeeping assets directly.

Grayscale Investments provides market information, exposure and products catered to digital currencies as an asset class. Institutional adoption is making its way into DeFi and it's no surprise to see that Zcash is among the top of the list for cryptocurrencies that are in high-demand.
