According to BeInCrypto, Grayscale released a crypto asset valuation ranking evaluated based on two metrics: "Token Holder Yield" and "Adjusted Earnings Yield". HYPE topped holder yields at 8.0%, with Lighter (LIT) following closely at 7.9%, and PancakeSwap (CAKE) ranking third at 2.6%, followed sequentially by AERO, UNI, RAY, PENDLE, AAVE, JUP, and CRV. In terms of adjusted earnings yield, CAKE led at 14.4%, with LIT at 14.1% and HYPE at 9.8%, followed sequentially by RAY, AAVE, JUP, SKY, UNI, AERO, and PENDLE. The report showed that five assets on the list had negative holder yields, including AAVE, JUP, and CRV, with CRV at -5.5% and JUP at -2.6%. Grayscale calculates holder yield as staking rewards plus buybacks minus new token issuance, so holders face dilution when new issuance exceeds total yields. While JUP's adjusted earnings yield stands at 3.5%, its holder yield remains negative.

Members of this workstream will engage directly with the SEC to assist legislators in understanding Vault mechanics and the applicability of existing regulatory frameworks, with the goal of aligning regulatory rules with technological development to ensure the United States maintains its leading position in on-chain financial innovation.
Odaily reports: Digital asset management company Grayscale stated in an analysis published on September 17 that the latest Federal Reserve rate hike is closer to a "mid-cycle adjustment" rather than a major monetary policy shift.The Federal Open Market Committee raised the target rate range by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4% on September 16, stating that the hike aims to bring inflation back to the 2% target in a more timely manner. Grayscale believes that this rate hike, along with a possible second hike later this year, is unlikely to cause major changes in the digital asset market.Grayscale noted that from March 2022 to July 2023, the Federal Reserve raised rates by a cumulative 525 basis points, with sustained tightening increasing returns on cash and yield-bearing assets and raising the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin; the current environment, by contrast, is a single rate hike following years of hikes, cuts, and holding steady.Grayscale stated that the impact of rate hikes will vary by crypto business model. Stablecoin issuers could benefit from increased interest income on reserve assets, and higher yields on tokenized bonds and money market funds could also attract capital inflows into on-chain financial products. On September 17, Bitcoin briefly rose above $77,000, with short position liquidations in the crypto market reaching nearly $260 million during the rebound. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: Zach Pandl, Head of Research at digital asset management firm Grayscale, said in an analysis on September 10 that even if Congress fails to pass the CLARITY Act this year, U.S. crypto regulation can still advance in areas such as stablecoins, token issuance, tokenized securities, and perpetual futures.U.S. President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025, establishing a regulatory framework for the issuance of payment stablecoins. The law requires issuers to hold full reserves and publicly disclose the composition of reserves on a monthly basis, and prohibits misleading claims that tokens are federally insured, backed by the U.S. government, or legal tender.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, which would allow qualifying projects to raise no more than $5 million over four years, or no more than $75 million in any 12-month period. The related exemptions and investment contract safe harbor remain in the proposal stage, with the public comment period closing on October 20.The near-term procedural milestone for the CLARITY Act is a cloture vote on the motion to proceed scheduled for September 15. This procedural vote requires 60 votes to pass and is not a final vote. Grayscale said the bill would still help clarify the division of regulatory authority between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), but its failure to pass would not halt regulatory measures already underway.

Odaily News: Crypto asset management firm Grayscale estimates that Zcash mining rigs generate daily mining rewards roughly 2x those of Bitcoin mining rigs, and about 4x on a per-unit-of-electricity basis. Zcash mining activity has grown to more than 2.5x its level at the start of the year.Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, said that at current valuations, Zcash mining profitability is relatively high, as token price gains have driven up mining rewards and encouraged more hash rate to join. Grayscale believes that more hash rate can support network security.The comparison uses the Bitmain S23 Hydro and Bitmain Z15 Pro as samples, assuming an electricity price of $0.05 per kilowatt-hour, full-load operation, and excluding transaction fees. Pool fees, cooling, other operating expenses, and equipment costs are not included in the calculation, and actual profitability is still affected by these factors.Bitcoin miners' total daily rewards are about $35 million, higher than Zcash's roughly $2 million. Grayscale's Zcash investment product assets under management surpassed $500 million on September 8 and recorded more than $70 million in cumulative external inflows. (Bitcoin.com News)
Grayscale Research head Zach Pandl stated that the U.S. CLARITY Act, aimed at establishing comprehensive regulations for the cryptocurrency market, will face a Senate procedural vote on September 15, requiring 60 votes to advance. Since Republicans currently hold 53 seats, the bill requires Democratic support to move forward, and prediction markets show a low probability of its passage by 2026.
Odaily News The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has published responses to its request for comments on "Novel ETFs," funds that may hold crypto assets or employ unconventional strategies. The divergence in opinions centers on whether filing documents should remain public before the fund begins trading, and how fast the review process should be.Crypto asset manager Grayscale and the crypto policy organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) support an optional confidential filing period to reduce the likelihood of competitors submitting imitation filings. Charles Schwab opposes full confidentiality and suggests disclosing filings at least 75 days before a fund launches.Grayscale requests the SEC to respond within 45 days, while CCI argues that the confidential process should not extend the automatic effectiveness or review deadlines. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) supports shortening the review timeline but emphasizes that the rigor of the review should not be reduced. Trading firm Jane Street, however, contends that accelerating the process could lead to lower product quality, competitiveness, and liquidity.The U.S. currently has 174 ETFs related to crypto assets. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) manages approximately $61 billion in assets, accounting for roughly 38% of the total assets of related ETFs. The SEC will determine whether adjustments will be made to the confidentiality arrangement and review speed of filings. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News Crypto enterprises, asset managers, market makers, and consumer advocacy groups have submitted comments to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in response to its request for input on the regulatory framework for "novel ETFs," covering exchange-traded products such as crypto assets, private assets, event contracts, and leveraged strategies.Crypto industry organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) recommended extending certain regulatory accommodations applicable to ETFs to non-ETF exchange-traded products. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) stated that the SEC should assess products based on their underlying assets and risk profiles, rather than treating all novel ETFs as a single category.Grayscale opposed adding new portfolio restrictions for mature digital asset products, while Chainalysis suggested leveraging public blockchains to enable real-time monitoring and verifiable disclosures. Kalshi expressed support for including event contracts in registered funds, whereas consumer advocacy group Public Citizen opposed offering event contract ETFs to retail investors. The SEC will evaluate whether to adopt a unified regulatory framework or craft separate rules based on product structure and risk. (Decrypt)
Odaily News: Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash has risen about 19 times over the past year, yet its market cap remains less than 1% of Bitcoin's. Digital asset management firm Grayscale stated that financial privacy, cybersecurity development, and cross-chain connectivity capabilities could drive Zcash to further expand its market share.As of August 29, Bitcoin's market cap stood at $1.56 trillion, while Zcash's market cap was $13.74 billion—approximately 0.88% of Bitcoin's, with Bitcoin's market cap being roughly 114 times larger. Grayscale estimates that if ZEC were to reach 2%, 5%, and 10% of Bitcoin's market cap, the corresponding prices would be $1,622, $4,054, and $8,109, respectively. These scenarios are not price predictions.On August 25, Grayscale's Zcash ETF began trading on NYSE Arca under the ticker ZCSH, moving from OTCQX to NYSE Arca, providing investors with exposure to spot ZEC without needing to directly purchase tokens or manage wallets and private keys.Zcash utilizes a proof-of-work consensus mechanism with a fixed supply of 21 million coins, and supports the concealment of transaction details through zero-knowledge proofs. Its intents technology can coordinate cross-chain transactions based on user goals, such as converting other digital assets into ZEC. (Bitcoin.com News)
According to the latest report released by Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl, as U.S. federal debt surpasses $40 trillion, Bitcoin's 90-day correlation with the Nasdaq 100 Index has dropped from over 60% to approximately 33%, while its correlation with gold has risen from near zero at the start of the year to above 50%, indicating that Bitcoin is shifting from a high-beta risk asset to an inflation-resistant store of value. Grayscale believes that expanding fiscal deficits and rising long-end interest rates will drive investors toward scarce alternative assets, positioning Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Zcash as primary beneficiaries. Among them, Zcash, featuring financial privacy, quantum resistance, and cross-chain interoperability, is considered to have the potential to challenge Bitcoin's network effect, despite its market capitalization currently accounting for less than 1% of Bitcoin's. Additionally, Grayscale notes that the current Bitcoin bear market has persisted for roughly 10 months, approaching the historical average bear market cycle of 11–12 months. Coupled with a macroeconomic environment that is becoming increasingly supportive, it suggests that current prices may represent a favorable entry point for long-term investors.
Odaily News Digital asset manager Grayscale Investments' Chief Legal Officer Craig Salm stated that the company's Zcash investment product has been upgraded to the world's first Zcash Exchange-Traded Product (ETP), marking a move of privacy-focused crypto assets into broader compliant investment channels. Following the launch of this Zcash ETP, investors can gain exposure to ZEC through SEC-registered traditional financial products. Grayscale noted that this signifies the Zcash ecosystem, after nearly a decade of development, is entering a new phase of institutionalization.Salm recalled that Grayscale launched the Zcash Investment Trust in 2018, when the ZEC trust product was just one of four products offered by the company. After years of regulatory engagement, the product was recently converted into the Zcash ETP, with the ticker symbol ZCSH. The process of bringing the Zcash product to the public market was not easy. Due to ZEC's privacy features, the company underwent greater regulatory scrutiny when launching its first publicly quoted Zcash fund in 2021, but ultimately completed the product rollout.Data shows that the adoption rate of Zcash's private transaction features has been steadily rising recently. In February 2026, ZEC shielded transactions reached an all-time high of 59.3% of total transactions, and after the latest Ironwood upgrade, it has again approached this level. Currently, the shielded pool holds approximately 4.4 million ZEC, accounting for about 26% of the circulating supply.
Odaily News - Digital asset manager Grayscale's Zcash ETF began trading on NYSE Arca on Tuesday under the ticker ZCSH. The product is the world's first exchange-traded product offering spot exposure to Zcash, allowing investors to track ZEC prices through securities accounts without needing to directly purchase or store the token.ZCSH was formerly known as the Grayscale Zcash Trust, established in October 2017 through a private placement. Grayscale filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2025 to convert the trust into an ETF, with shareholders holding shares that track the fund's ZEC holdings rather than holding ZEC directly.In May of this year, security researcher Taylor Hornby, using Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8, discovered a vulnerability in Zcash's Orchard shielded pool that had existed for four years, which could potentially allow attackers to mint counterfeit ZEC. Developers deployed an emergency patch on June 1, but due to privacy mechanisms, it was not possible to cryptographically confirm whether the vulnerability had been exploited.Zcash activated the Ironwood upgrade in July, replacing Orchard with a new shielded pool and introducing accounting rules that limit the amount of ZEC exiting the old shielded pool to no more than the amount entering. Grayscale stated it will monitor the adoption of the Ironwood upgrade, network security, exchange support, and regulatory conditions for privacy assets. (Decrypt)
Odaily News: The latest financial disclosure from Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib shows that her retirement accounts hold Bitcoin and Ethereum-related ETFs, including up to $15,000 in the Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF, as well as up to $15,000 in the iShares Bitcoin ETF.Tlaib previously voted against the CLARITY Act, which supports cryptocurrency market structure legislation, and supported a resolution aimed at prohibiting so-called "crypto corruption." In addition to crypto asset-related ETFs, Tlaib's investments also include European and Asian market funds, international bond funds, and funds used to hedge against dollar risk. Her assets are distributed across accounts such as traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, and college savings accounts. (New York Post)
