Your $ZEC can stay shielded, and you can still see exactly what you're approving 🔐
Shielded @Zcash is now supported in Ledger Wallet, with every transaction approved on your Ledger signer.
Shielded or transparent: how are you holding your Zcash? 👇
Privacy has a new ETP. 🛡️
The 21shares Zcash ETP ($ZCASH) is now live on @Euronext Amsterdam & Euronext Paris — the first Zcash ETP available to European investors.
Built on Bitcoin's foundational monetary architecture that fixes its supply cap at 21 million coins, Zcash introduces optionality through cryptographic shielded transactions, giving users control over transaction transparency.
Meet $ZCASH: No wallets. No seed phrases. Just physically-backed, exchange-traded exposure to $ZEC.

Both are free to integrate!
A few quick facts:
1. ZRC-20 is not a Zcash protocol standard.
2. Zcash Shielded Assets are still experimental on Testnet.
3. If you want censorship-resistant private money secured by Zcash consensus the asset is zcash:native
