🇪🇺 ZCASH ETF IS LIVE — BUT EU INVESTORS FACE A BARRIER Grayscale’s Zcash ETF (NYSE Arca: ZCSH) is now trading in the United States, opening a regulated exchange-traded route to ZEC exposure. But many EU retail investors cannot simply buy ZCSH through their brokers. WHY? Under the EU’s PRIIPs framework, investment products offered to retail investors generally require a Key Information Document (KID). The U.S.-listed ZCSH currently does not provide the required EU documentation, creating a regulatory barrier for many European retail brokers. So what can EU investors do? • BUY ZEC DIRECTLY Investors can still purchase ZEC through platforms that support it in their jurisdiction and move it to self-custody. • USE EU-ACCESSIBLE INVESTMENT PRODUCTS Where available, investors can use Zcash-linked products that meet European regulatory and documentation requirements. • PROFESSIONAL INVESTOR ACCESS Professional clients may have access to products unavailable to retail investors, depending on their classification and broker. ⚠️ IMPORTANT DISTINCTION The current ZCSH restriction is NOT a ban on owning Zcash in the EU. It is primarily a regulatory restriction on retail access to a U.S.-listed investment product. However, another regulatory development is approaching: from July 2027, new EU anti-money-laundering rules will impose additional restrictions on regulated financial and crypto service providers dealing with anonymity-enhancing coins. That is a separate issue from today’s ZCSH/PRIIPs barrier — and could have much broader implications for privacy coins in Europe.

Bigcaps had a big move in August, which was the result of 50 days consolidation in July/August. It might take time for next big moves

⚡ ZCASH MOVES CLOSER TO NATIVE THORCHAIN SWAPS Zcash could soon gain a major new decentralized trading route. With THORChain v3.20, the protocol updated its Zcash integration for compatibility with NU6.3 “Ironwood” — bringing ZEC another step closer to native cross-chain swaps. THORChain says Zcash is expected to be the next chain integration. Why could this matter for ZEC? 🔄 Native cross-chain swaps ZEC could potentially be exchanged directly with assets on other supported networks through THORChain. 🚫 No wrapped ZEC required Native integration could allow users to swap native ZEC without relying on a tokenized representation on another blockchain. 🔐 Less reliance on centralized exchanges Users could gain another route for exchanging ZEC without depositing funds with a traditional centralized exchange. 🌐 Greater interoperability Native THORChain support could connect Zcash more directly with the broader cross-chain crypto ecosystem. ⚠️ Important: Some reports claim ZEC swaps are already live. However, THORChain's official v3.20 announcement describes Zcash as “one step closer to launch.” For that reason, we currently consider the integration upcoming — not yet confirmed live. If completed, this could become an important new liquidity and accessibility channel for ZEC. Privacy meets cross-chain liquidity. 🔒⚡ 🔗 Source: THORChain — Protocol Upgrade v3.20 https://blog.thorchain.org/thorchain-protocol-upgrade-v3-20 ⚡ $ZEC | #Zcash 🔒 Privacy • Freedom • Financial Sovereignty 🔥 @ZecZcash

📺 ZCASH HITS BLOOMBERG TV Zcash just got mainstream financial airtime. Grayscale’s Krista Lynch appeared on Bloomberg TV to discuss the fundamentals behind $ZEC — including its 21 million supply cap, Proof-of-Work security, zero-knowledge technology and the choice between shielded and transparent transactions. But the bigger story is the exposure. Zcash is being discussed on one of the world's most influential financial networks — in front of traditional investors. And with Grayscale actively promoting its Zcash investment product, $ZEC is increasingly entering conversations far beyond the crypto-native privacy community. Privacy tech is getting mainstream attention. 👀 ⚡ $ZEC | #Zcash 🔒 Privacy • Freedom • Financial Sovereignty 🔥 @ZecZcash
