Zcash mainnet has activated the Ironwood upgrade, introducing a new privacy pool to enhance supply security.

2026.07.28 22:46:21

According to official announcements, the Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) has activated the Ironwood (NU6.3) network upgrade at mainnet block height 3,428,143. The upgrade introduces a new privacy pool designed to enhance Zcash network security and enable independent verification of the integrity of its circulating supply. With Ironwood’s launch, the existing Orchard privacy pool will be restricted: funds transferred out of Orchard must go through a "gate mechanism" before entering Ironwood. Zcash states that Ironwood is an ecosystem-wide collaborative upgrade driven by the Orchard privacy pool security vulnerability discovered at the end of May this year. The vulnerability was patched via an emergency network upgrade; there is currently no evidence it was exploited, nor any indication that user funds or the total ZEC supply were compromised. Built on the revised Orchard protocol, Ironwood incorporates formal verification and independent security audits to further strengthen the protocol’s resilience against future supply integrity vulnerabilities. For users, existing funds in Orchard need to be migrated to the new Ironwood privacy pool. Wallets supporting Ironwood will provide migration paths, and ZODL users can complete the migration directly via the latest version of the app, with no need to create a new wallet or change addresses. Zcash notes that Ironwood’s launch will retain privacy features while delivering stronger verifiability and a long-term security foundation for the network.

Meme coin ANTHROPIG briefly hits a new all-time high of $9 million, paired with ANTHROPICx1L via the Long.xyz platform.

According to GMGN data, the on-chain meme coin ANTHROPIG on the Robinhood chain briefly hit a new high of $9 million, currently trading at $7.61 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $6.7 million. ANTHROPIG’s core narrative is “Anthropic Pig / Pigified Anthropic”, directly capitalizing on the hype around Long.xyz’s upcoming/already supported Anthropic tokenized 1x long position (ANTHROPICx1L). Trading is conducted via pairing on the Long.xyz platform with ANTHROPICx1L (Anthropic’s 1x long tokenized position). Long.xyz is a meme coin issuance platform on the Robinhood chain, focusing on an innovative “crypto-stock meme” model that ties traditional meme coins directly to tokenized U.S. stocks, forming a dual-driven mechanism of “sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring”. The platform allows users to issue meme tokens and pair them directly with on-chain U.S. stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc.) instead of traditional USDT or ETH pairs. A portion of transaction fees flows back to the community treasury to accumulate the corresponding U.S. stock tokens, creating a unique value capture model. Anthropic currently has high IPO expectations, but as it remains unlisted, direct long positions are difficult in traditional markets. On-chain platforms like this provide speculative exposure through such tokenized long positions paired with meme coins, representing an upgraded version of the earlier trend of pairing meme coins with stock tokens like NVDA. BlockBeats reminds users that related tokens have high price volatility and significant uncertainty, so users should exercise caution in their investments.

OPENAI currently has high IPO expectations, but as it remains unlisted, traditional markets cannot easily go long on it.

Well-known Trader: Bitcoin’s Persistent Short-Term Volatility Aims to Hunt Longs and Crush Their Confidence

Renowned trader Killa published an analysis noting that Bitcoin has been in repeated choppy swings recently, with the market repeatedly hunting long positions below previous lows—aimed at liquidating leverage and gradually eroding the confidence of long-position holders. Killa argues that this continuous stop-hunting behavior typically signals the market’s ultimate intent to reward longs, with the final sweep marking a local bottom before prices extend higher. A BTC-focused quantitative trader, Killa correctly predicted the peak of the current bull market in May 2025 and boasts over 200,000 followers on X. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688, and shifted to a long position on June 5 amid the market’s broad sell-off.

Viewpoint: U.S. core inflation has been on a steady downward trend for a long time, so the Federal Reserve has no urgency to raise interest rates in September.

Crypto analyst Darkfost cited market data, noting that based on the latest CPI figures, the U.S. core CPI has hit a low not seen in over five years. While monthly inflation remains elevated, the long-term downward trend since 2022 is clear. Darkfost argues the Federal Reserve (Fed) bases its decisions on long-term developments rather than monthly noise. Although market forecasts put the probability of an interest rate hike as high as 85-90%, Darkfost asserts there is no urgency for the Fed to raise rates in September.
