Zcash ETF adds Anchorage Digital as second custodian for a portion of its ZEC
The Zcash ETF's sponsor, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, signed an agreement on September 29, 2026 under which Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. will hold part of the trust's ZEC alongside Coinbase Custody, which remains primary custodian. The filing says the sponsor has not yet decided how much ZEC will move to Anchorage, so the effect on shareholders depends on that undisclosed amount.
Key points
- Agreement dated September 29, 2026 is the Sixth Amendment to a Master Custody Service Agreement dated August 8, 2025
- Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC remains the primary custodian; the sponsor has not determined how much ZEC will move to Anchorage Digital
- Anchorage Digital must carry insurance including commercial crime coverage or a fidelity bond of at least $100 million in aggregate; the filing says shareholders cannot be assured coverage will cover losses
- Trust fees paid to Anchorage Digital are a Sponsor-paid Expense
