Zcash loses over $5 billion after AI finds 4-year bug that could have created fake hidden coins
Zcash developers say the flaw was patched before any known exploit, but the selloff shows how fragile trust can be around money built to stay private.

Good to see you this Friday.
Stress is spreading beyond price action, turning this Bitcoin drawdown into a test of market structure and confidence. The heavy build in short positions could fuel a sharp reversal, but that setup matters only if selling pressure starts to ease and real buyers reappear rather than liquidations doing the work.
That makes the next signals more important than the drop itself: analysts are watching ETF stability, exchange inflows, and spot demand for proof a bottom is forming. At the same time, apxUSD’s depeg and Zcash’s patched supply bug show how quickly trust can crack across DeFi collateral and privacy-coin design when conditions worsen.
The global crypto market cap is $2.1 trillion, with a 24-hour volume of $133.67 billion. The price of Bitcoin is $60,951.79, and BTC market dominance is 57.9%. The price of Ethereum is $1,614.58, and ETH market dominance is 9.2%. The best-performing sector is Identity, which gained 1%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently Extreme Fear (12).
