## ZEN-USD (Zcash) — Asset Clarification

First, an important framing note: **ZEN-USD is a cryptocurrency trading pair, not a traditional stock.** ZEN is the ticker for **Zcash**, a privacy-focused blockchain project. "Publicly traded" here means it is listed on cryptocurrency exchanges with a ZEN/USD market, not that it trades on equity exchanges. This matters because source [[5]](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CRCL/) uses the term "stock price," which suggests that snippet may actually describe a listed equity/company rather than Zcash itself — so I treat it cautiously rather than attributing it directly to ZEN.
