Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- January 2026 ZX index rose 2.1%, showing continued private-market demand.
- April 2026 fund marks showed 42.6% appreciation, validating Zanbato's pricing signals.
- Zanbato filed Private Growth Fund II in May 2026, expanding capital and deal flow.
What critics are saying
- Zanbato depends on thin secondary liquidity; January 2026 bids were only 44% of tickets.
- ZX spreads stayed wide at 12% in January 2026, limiting execution quality and adoption.
- An SEC or FINRA enforcement action against ATS rules would threaten ZX operations immediately.
What makes Zanbato unique
- ZX is an SEC-registered ATS for private shares, not just data or matchmaking.
- Zanbato publishes proprietary secondary-market indices, bid-ask spreads, and fund marks on ZXData.
- Its 2026 reports track xAI, Cerebras, SpaceX, and Anthropic activity across private markets.
