Grayscale has submitted a Zcash spot ETF application, converting the existing Zcash trust into a spot product, becoming the first privacy coin ETF seeking to be listed in the United States. At the same time, Multicoin Capital disclosed that it has been continuously building a position in ZEC since February, with co-founder Tushar Jain linking the investment logic to the proposed wealth tax legislation in the U.S., believing that the government's expansion of monitoring private financial holdings will drive structural demand for assets that shield regulation on a mathematical level.However, this application has also raised institutional custody challenges: approximately 30% of Zcash's supply is located in shielded address pools, the highest in history, but ETF custody must almost exclusively use transparent address pools to meet audit and balance proof requirements. Previously, the SEC concluded its long-term review of Zcash in January 2026 without taking enforcement action, significantly reducing regulatory uncertainty.

Australia is considering significant reforms to its Capital Gains Tax (CGT) system, planning to replace the current 50% tax discount policy for long-term held assets with an "inflation-indexed" mechanism, covering investment categories such as cryptocurrencies and stocks. The current system allows individuals to be taxed only on 50% of the capital gains if they hold the asset for more than a year, a policy that has been in place since 1999.If the reform is implemented, investors will calculate their gains based on inflation-adjusted cost bases, which may lead to an increase in actual tax burdens during periods of rapid asset price increases. According to the proposal's logic, the new mechanism will only tax "real gains" (the portion after excluding the effects of inflation), but in a low-inflation environment, the indexed deduction may be lower than the current 50% discount, resulting in increased tax burdens for most investors. The impact on cryptocurrency investors is particularly pronounced.The current "hold to reduce tax" mechanism reinforces long-term holding (HODL) strategies, while the new proposal will weaken the advantage of time holding, significantly increasing the tax burden on unrealized gains during periods of high appreciation. The proposal is still in the discussion stage and is expected to face strong opposition from investor groups and the financial industry, with the focus of the controversy centered on the balance between capital formation efficiency and tax system fairness.

According to Cointelegraph, the Australian government plans to replace the 50% capital gains tax discount applicable to assets held for more than 12 months with an inflation-indexed taxation model. If the new regulations are implemented, it may increase the tax burden on long-term investments such as cryptocurrencies.The Australian Financial Review cited informed sources stating that this adjustment will be included in the budget for the fiscal year 2027, which the Albanese government will announce on Tuesday. The report noted that under the current rules, investors holding assets for more than 12 months can enjoy a 50% capital gains tax discount; the proposed plan will change this to taxing the full amount of real gains after deducting inflation. The new regulations are expected to take effect at the end of the fiscal year in July 2027, with a one-year transition period for assets purchased after May 10, 2026.
