Grayscale's Zcash ETF recorded its first inflows in a month, boosting ZEC's price amidst a flat market.

Grayscale's Zcash ETF recorded its first inflows in a month, boosting ZEC's price amidst a flat market. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $80,636.00, down 0.1% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Blockonomi, with live market data added, as of Sun, 25 Oct 2026 18:15:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The sudden reversal in Zcash ETF flows suggests renewed institutional interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, potentially signaling a shift in sentiment after weeks of outflows.

Key takeaways
  • Zcash ETF inflows totaled $41.1M last week, ending three weeks of outflows.
  • ZEC price rose 12.18% over seven days, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  • Bitcoin ETFs still dominated with $301.2M in net inflows last week.

Grayscale's Zcash ETF experienced a significant inflow of $41.1 million last week, ending a three-week streak of withdrawals that had seen $143.4 million exit the fund.

This reversal in flows has coincided with a strong performance in ZEC's price, which has risen 12.18% over the past seven days. In contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have declined during the same period.

The inflows into the Zcash ETF come amidst a broader market that remains relatively flat, with the total crypto market cap standing at $2.77 trillion. Bitcoin is currently trading at $80,721, up 0.69% in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum is at $2,352.86, up 1.63%.

Despite the positive movement in ZEC, Bitcoin ETFs continue to dominate the market, with $301.2 million in net inflows last week, indicating ongoing strong institutional interest in Bitcoin.

The resurgence in Zcash ETF inflows could suggest a shift in institutional sentiment towards privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, particularly as ZEC tests the $1,200 resistance level.
