Key points
- Winklevoss Asset Services filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the US SEC.
- The proposed Winklevoss Zcash ETF would hold actual ZEC, not futures or derivatives.
- If approved, the fund is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker WINK.
- The filing follows the launch of Grayscale's spot Zcash ETF in the US.
Why it matters
