ZEC’s ETF story may be hiding a leverage story.

I checked the filing and derivatives data: Grayscale’s Zcash ETF listing is targeted for around Aug. 25, but it is not final until regulatory clearance.

Meanwhile, reported ZEC futures open interest nearly doubled from $962.5M to $1.8B, with $5.3B in 24-hour futures volume.

So what is driving this move?

1. ETF anticipation
2. Leveraged futures
3. Privacy-coin demand
4. Real spot buying

The ETF may open a new door—but open interest can also amplify both directions.

Market discussion only. Not financial advice.
