Both The Cryptonomist and Cointelegraph report that Euronext suspended the launch of CoinShares' Zcash ETP (ZCSH) in Paris on October 28, 2026. The outlets agree that the suspension is due to unresolved 'operational settlement requirements,' as confirmed by a Euronext spokesperson to Cointelegraph. However, The Cryptonomist emphasizes that the product will remain suspended 'until further notice,' while Cointelegraph focuses on the dependency on settlement operations being supported by the Central Securities Depository (CSD).
Euronext, the Paris-based exchange operator, has suspended the launch of CoinShares' 
Zcash exchange-traded product (ETP), ZCSH, which was scheduled to begin trading on October 28, 2026. The decision was made due to unresolved 'operational settlement requirements,' according to a Euronext spokesperson cited by Cointelegraph.
The Cryptonomist reports that the suspension will remain in effect until the exchange can support standard settlement operations. This delay underscores the complexities of integrating cryptocurrency products into traditional financial systems, particularly regarding the necessary settlement infrastructure.
The affected product, CoinShares Zcash ETP (ZCSH), was intended to provide investors with exposure to Zcash (ZEC), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. Despite the suspension, Zcash's price has shown resilience, rising 4.41% in the past 24 hours to $1299.83, with a market cap of $22.11 billion.
The broader cryptocurrency market has been performing well, with the total market cap at $2.79 trillion and 
Bitcoin up 1.82% in the last day. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
The suspension of the Zcash ETP launch could impact investor sentiment towards similar crypto products in regulated markets. It remains to be seen how long the suspension will last and what steps will be taken to address the settlement issues. Investors and market participants will be closely watching for updates from Euronext and CoinShares.
