Zcash holders and community panels will vote on a proposal to remove 50,000 ZEC from the grants treasury, according to Crypto Economy. The voting window is scheduled to run from Nov. 16 through Nov. 30, with the proposal putting the treasury allocation and the distribution of newly issued coins under community review.
The proposal would also end the Zcash Community Grants’ current 8% share of newly issued coins. Under the plan, those allocations would instead accumulate in a new fund identified as Future Dev and Legal Defense. This second element links the proposed treasury withdrawal to a broader change in how newly issued ZEC is directed.
Crypto Economy is the only supplied outlet covering the vote, so no independent outlet corroboration is available. The reported proposal combines two related changes: removing 50,000 ZEC from the grants treasury and replacing the existing 8% issuance allocation with a new destination for those funds. The summaries do not provide the final vote threshold or specify what implementation would follow approval.
Zcash was trading at $968.31, down 0.67% over 24 hours and 26.29% over seven days, with a reported market capitalization of $16.52 billion. The wider crypto market was broadly lower, with total capitalization at $2.49 trillion and 
Bitcoin down 1.26% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stood at 28, indicating a Fear reading. The immediate focus remains the community vote and its treatment of the proposed treasury and issuance changes.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Zcash (ZEC) has moved from ₹90,877.45$968.31 to ₹92,444.77$985.01 — +1.72%.
The chart plots ZEC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ZEC ≈ ₹98,072.52 (about $985.01), up 0.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
