Grayscale plans to direct $1 million to nonprofits supporting the Zcash ecosystem. The asset manager will fund this by reinvesting 100% of the sponsor fees from its Zcash ETF, which trades under the ticker ZCSH. Grayscale has already awarded $100,000 each to four organizations. The firm also launched an educational website named Zcash Invest and a national advertising campaign. Meanwhile, ZEC traded around $1,035 to $1,043 amid recent price declines and monthly fund outflows.

Key points

  1. Grayscale plans to direct $1 million to nonprofits and initiatives supporting the Zcash ecosystem.
  2. The funding comes from fees on the ZCSH exchange-traded fund.
  3. Grayscale launched an educational platform called Zcash Invest and a national advertising campaign titled Zcash: The Next Era of Crypto.

Why it matters
