Grayscale’s Zcash ETF net assets crossed the $1 billion threshold in less than a month after listing. As a result, the $ZEC price has since been trading in wide swings around the $1,590 mark. On the surface, it appears as if institutional capital is rushing into the market. But when you break down the liquidity composition behind it, the market’s true “water temperature” is far more subtle than the paper scale suggests.
Within this $1 billion figure, cumulative net inflows total roughly $306 million, of which about $100 million comes from the parent company DCG conducting an in-kind swap by taking 85,705 units of spot. Meanwhile, external actual cash net subscriptions are only a little over $200 million. The “old base” left behind by the conversion of existing trusts, combined with the doubling surge in the coin’s price since its listing, forms the main driving force behind the expansion of asset management scale. The prosperity the market is currently seeing is, to a large extent, a book-based expansion that reinforces the price itself.
On the liquidity supply side, the 1-for-3 stock split adjustment is approaching on September 30. In the absence of ongoing, strong exogenous cash inflows, positions held at higher levels are likely to face pressure from profit-taking. If real incremental funds from outside the market cannot provide effective support during the pullback, the行情 is likely to experience deep volatility driven by liquidity gaps. Over the next few days, the key test will be the persistence of net inflows and whether they can sustain strong holding power.
