Zcash records a 20.5 million USD ETF inflow

The reported flow was attributed to Grayscale's Zcash product and was dated October 23, 2026. An exchange-traded fund is an investment vehicle that holds or tracks an underlying asset; its daily flow measures money entering or leaving the product, rather than a direct tally of all ZEC transactions.

The flow figure belongs to the fund on that date and does not establish a cause for the Zcash price move. Investing.com lists Zcash at market capitalization of 22.91 billion USD and rank 9 as of October 25, 2026.

NU7 targets 25-second blocks on November 5, 2026

The Zcash Foundation's Zebra 7.0.0 release supports the NU7 network upgrade at mainnet block height 3,543,405, according to the Zcash Foundation. The release states that mainnet nodes must upgrade before the activation height to remain on the consensus chain.

NU7 sets a target interval of 25 seconds between blocks instead of 75 seconds. The change concerns the network's block production schedule, while the activation point is controlled by the chain reaching height 3,543,405. A separate report from TokenPost gives November 5, 2026, as the target date and notes that the network reaches the upgrade through its block height rather than a fixed hour.

The same upgrade documentation states that version 4 transactions become invalid at activation, while versions 5 and 6 remain valid. This creates a specific operational deadline for software providers and users whose funds or transaction tools still depend on the older format.
