Zcash (ZEC) is having a moment, and no, it’s not because it finally learned how to do a proper handshake. The token is trading at $335, up 40% in the past week and a staggering 400% in a month. Why? Because in a world where your toaster probably knows your Social Security number, privacy coins are the new black. 🖤
Not a single asset dares to rise above its current melancholy-an uncharacteristic, gloomy chorus echoing through the digital halls.
In a panic, the market forgets that crypto’s a zoo full of exotic animals and treats it like a one-horse race. BTC, ETH, XRP? Same old circus, different clowns. 🤡🎪
Let’s start with the hourly chart, where consolidation is the name of the game. Bitcoin is squeezed between $109,000 and $111,000, like a barbell mid-lift-poised for either a triumphant push or a dignified drop.

The formal end of this phase was supposed to be in October 2025, but who are we kidding? Of course, they’ll keep plodding along after that. Rules to build, tests to conduct, privacy concerns to tackle, and perhaps the smallest detail of all: making sure the thing actually works. Nothing is final until the legal framework is in place – or so they say, as if that’s a small matter.
Linea (LINEA), ConsenSys’ zkEVM prodigy, parades under Wall Street’s klieg lights this week. SharpLink, that paragon of corporate largesse, declared it would hurl $200 million of Ether (ETH) into Linea’s maw via ether.fi and EigenCloud-a “strategic deployment” for staking and restaking theatrics tied to “verifiable AI” (read: more blockchain buzzwords 🤖).
The root of this calamity lies in the ill-regulated uniswapV3SwapCallback() function, which, lacking proper oversight, allowed nefarious transferFrom calls to deplete the victim’s wallet. A most grievous oversight, one might say, for even a gentleman of modest means would not so carelessly leave his pocketbook unattended.
