Zcash (ZEC) has seen significant market growth, reaching a 10-year high above $1,600 following a year-long rally of approximately 2,850%. This surge is attributed to increased institutional interest and a growing focus on privacy-centric digital assets utilizing zero-knowledge cryptography.

In response to this momentum, several regulated investment products have launched in Europe. Swiss asset manager 21Shares introduced a physically backed Zcash Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) on Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam. Following this, Valour Digital Securities Limited launched the Valour Zcash (ZEC) SEK ETP, which commenced trading on the Spotlight Stock Market in late September 2026. These products aim to provide investors with regulated access to Zcash through traditional securities trading infrastructure.
