suspend

The Euronext exchange suspended the Zcash ETP from the cryptocurrency asset management company CoinShares just hours after its launch on the Paris market. The reason for the suspension is that the central securities depository is unable to support the related settlement operations, which prevents CoinShares from participating in the Zcash ETP trading.A spokesperson for Euronext stated that the suspension is not related to regulation but is a settlement infrastructure issue; the ETP will remain frozen until the central securities depository can fully support standard settlement operations. Currently, related products from 21Shares, Virtune, and Valor are still trading in the European market. According to the page content, the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation will come into full effect on July 1, 2027, prohibiting licensed cryptocurrency companies from handling privacy coins like Zcash and interacting with anonymous wallets.

According to Cointelegraph, exchange operator Euronext suspended CoinShares' Zcash exchange-traded product (ETP) on Wednesday, which was originally scheduled to be listed on the Euronext Paris exchange that day. Euronext announced that the CoinShares Zcash ETP (ticker ZCSH) is suspended from trading effective immediately until further notice, and the announcement did not specify the exact reason.Flavio Bornancin-Tomasella, Euronext's Media and Communications Manager, told Cointelegraph that the product will remain suspended until the Central Securities Depository (CSD) can fully support standard settlement operations. He stated that this measure is strictly limited to the scope of "operational settlement requirements."This suspension prevented the product from becoming the fourth ETP based on Zcash in Europe. Earlier this year, 21Shares, Virtune, and Valor launched their Zcash ETPs. CoinShares announced its plans to list the product on Euronext Paris earlier on Wednesday, and as of the time of publication, it had not responded to Cointelegraph's request for comment.
