Grayscale Zcash Trust Fees Surge: ZEC Price Soars 15x, Weekly Fees Increase from $32,000 to $440,000

【Crypto World】Grayscale’s Zcash Trust has recently attracted attention, mainly because its management fees have shown a significant change following the ZEC price trend. Last week, the fee reached $440,000, compared to only $32,000 six months ago—more than ten times higher.

The logic behind this is not complicated. The trust charges an annual management fee of 2.5%, which means that as your asset size grows, the absolute fee will also increase accordingly. During this cycle, ZEC’s price has risen by about 15 times, and the fees collected by Grayscale have nearly increased by 15 times as well. This is essentially a direct reflection of changes in AUM (Assets Under Management).

According to the latest data, this trust currently holds 393,000 ZEC. Judging from the speed of fee growth, ZEC’s recent rally has been quite remarkable, not only boosting the trust’s scale but also significantly increasing Grayscale’s management fee income. This also reflects ongoing institutional investor interest in privacy coins like Zcash.
