According to HTX market data, ZEC has surged over 29% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $735.47, approaching its previous all-time high of $750, with market capitalization rising to $12.46 billion. Earlier on June 5, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox, together with Jason McGee and Taylor Hornby, published a detailed article disclosing a critical soundness vulnerability in the project’s latest privacy layer Orchard pool, which could be exploited to create an unlimited number of fake ZEC in an untraceable environment. The Zcash ecosystem had already completed an emergency network upgrade to fix the flaw, but after the full impact was disclosed, ZEC’s price experienced sharp volatility, with a temporary flash crash hitting $250.12. On August 20, Grayscale filed the fourth amended document for converting its Zcash Trust into an ETF, proposing to rename the fund and list it on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ZCSH". The document shows that DCG International Investments Ltd., a subsidiary of parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG), is in discussions to inject approximately 200,000 ZEC into the fund.

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio said that as U.S. debt pressures continue to rise, investors should reduce bond allocations and hedge risks with non-government-issued assets like gold and Bitcoin. Dalio recently noted that portfolios can allocate around 10%-15% to gold and hold "a portion" of Bitcoin to mitigate debt crisis risks and boost long-term returns. He believes that as the global debt cycle enters a critical phase, non-sovereign currency assets like Bitcoin may benefit. Dalio pointed out that the U.S. government is projected to collect about $5.5 trillion in revenue this year, with $7.5 trillion in spending, leaving a fiscal gap of roughly $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. interest payments are expected to nearly hit $1 trillion, and about $10 trillion in debt faces refinancing pressure. He warned that if fiscal policies are not adjusted, a U.S. debt crisis could emerge "in roughly the next three years (plus or minus two years)." As debt servicing pressures mount, the government may be forced to accept higher interest rates or rely on central bank balance sheet expansion to buy debt, which would erode currency values and drive up inflation. Recently, U.S. long-term Treasury yields have risen to multi-year highs, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced an expansion of the long-term U.S. Treasury buyback program, but markets view this measure as only providing short-term support, not solving structural fiscal issues. Driven by a weaker dollar, improved liquidity expectations, and safe-haven demand, Bitcoin recently broke through $77,000, posting one of its strongest weekly gains since 2023. Dalio stated: "Non-government-issued monetary assets, such as gold and Bitcoin, are expected to perform well." These remarks have further strengthened market attention on Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative, with investors viewing it as a key asset to hedge against currency devaluation and long-term fiscal risks.

According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, a wallet associated with Multicoin Capital transferred 197,560 HYPE tokens to Coinbase over the past 9 hours, valued at approximately $14.54 million. The transaction address is: 0xCa292baAb13A6B97fC83bB142e689440Fd0812b8. Given the funds flowing to a centralized exchange, on-chain analysis views this operation as "likely for sale". Previously, Multicoin Capital has repeatedly transferred HYPE to Coinbase, sparking market concerns about the institutional firm reducing its position.

According to HTX market data, ENA has risen more than 19% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $0.1409, with its market cap climbing to $1.387 billion. On the news front, on August 11, Arthur Hayes published an article publicly expressing optimism about ENA, noting that if an increase in U.S. dollar liquidity drives Bitcoin higher, a recovery in Bitcoin basis yields could draw capital back into USDe, adding that ENA has the potential to rally fivefold in the coming months. On August 13, USDe issuer Ethena announced that it had partnered with digital asset prime broker FalconX to act as its institutional lending partner. As part of its institutional lending allocation, Ethena will invest in FalconX Global’s stablecoin lending arrangements via overcollateralization.
