What happened

Well supportedReported by 21 independent outlets

Zcash extended its rally into new highs following the launch of the first European ETP tied to the cryptocurrency by 21Shares. The market sentiment was subsequently affected by renewed Middle East tensions and stronger than expected US PMIs. The market downturn was exacerbated by hawkish repricing and the ongoing Iran War, which has led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
