Zcash hovers above $1,250 on Wednesday after a 9% surge the previous day, signaling a bullish turnaround.Zcash ETF recorded over $1 million in inflows on Tuesday, suggesting reduced selling pressure after Monday’s $10 million outflow.Zcash's NU7 final mainnet activation is scheduled for November 6, reducing block confirmation time to 25 seconds.
Zcash (ZEC) shows signs of bullish recovery above $1,200 on Wednesday, following a 9% rebound the previous day linked to the upcoming NU7 upgrade. Blockworks released a Zcash holders report on Tuesday, highlighting steady network growth. The technical outlook for ZEC is bullish, with bulls eyeing an extended rally toward $1,698.
Institutional selling eases ahead of NU7 upgrade
Zcash Open Development Lab announced the final mainnet activation decision of the NU7 upgrade scheduled for November 6 at 00:50 GMT. The upgrade focuses on reducing block confirmation time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, improving transaction speed by 3x, retiring the legacy v4 transaction pool, which suspends the ZEC tokens held in the Sprout shielded pool, and introducing the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM) that allocates 60% of the fees to the NSM Value Balance and directs the rest to miners.
Institutional investors remain under pressure after three consecutive weeks of strong sell-off. SoSoValue data shows the Bitwise’s ZEC-focused Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) recorded $1.61 million in inflows on Tuesday, indicating a near-term positive shift from Monday’s $10.45 million outflows. The weekly trend shows a sharp decline in total outflows from $93.56 million in early October to $19.15 million last week, suggesting that institutional investors are easing selling pressure.
On the other hand, Blockworks data show that network transactions climbed 21% to roughly 710,000 over the last three months, with over half of them non-shielded. In addition, the network’s Real Economic Value (REV) rose by almost 85% to $204,000.
Zcash trades at $1,260 at press time on Wednesday, extending a bullish near-term bias. On the four-hour chart, ZEC holds above both the 50- and 200-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at $1,181 and $1,230, respectively.
The 9% rebound from the previous day breaks above the downward-sloping resistance trendline, which now acts as support around $1,183, reinforcing an upside-skewed structure. Zcash now pushes against the $1,296 horizontal level set by the September 9 high, where a confirmed breakout could extend the rally to the $1,698 peak from September 26.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is near 65 on the four-hour chart, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line holds a positive upward trend, hinting at persistent buying pressure rather than exhaustion.
On the downside, immediate support is seen at the 200-period EMA at $1,230, followed by a structural zone defined by the former resistance trend-line break near $1,183 and the 50-period EMA at $1,181.

BNB Foundation completed the 37th quarterly BNB token burn.It removed 1.65 million BNB worth about $1.2 billion from circulation.After the operation, the asset’s supply fell to 131.51 million BNB.
On October 19, 2026, BNB Foundation announced the completion of its 37th quarterly BNB burn. As part of the procedure, 1,646,196.44 BNB worth about $1.2 billion at the exchange rate at the time of the operation was removed from circulation.
After the burn, the cryptocurrency’s total supply stood at 131,512,085 BNB. The data is current as of 10:05 UTC on October 19.
The asset barely reacted to the news:
The operation was carried out directly on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) network. The tokens were sent to a special address from which they cannot be withdrawn.
To reduce BNB supply, the Auto-Burn mechanism is used. It automatically determines the size of the quarterly burn based on the token’s market price and the number of blocks produced on BSC. The ultimate goal is to reduce supply to 100 million BNB.
BNB Foundation noted that after the Lorentz and Maxwell upgrades, the network began producing blocks more frequently. As a result, the developers adjusted the parameters of the Auto-Burn formula while preserving its original operating principle.
In addition, BSC uses the BEP-95 mechanism, which provides for the ongoing burn of a portion of transaction fees. Its volume depends on network activity.
As a reminder, in July 2026, BNB Chain conducted its 36th quarterly burn, destroying about 1.62 million BNB worth $931.7 million.
Previously, we reported that the BNB Chain team announced a next-generation L1 blockchain for agentic trading, with a launch planned for 2027.

Hoskinson said on X the language will bundle transaction requests with cryptographic proofs. He hasn’t shared a name, specs or a release date.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is writing a new programming language for his blockchain. He says it will be the first to combine what a user wants a transaction to do with cryptographic proof that the rules were followed.
“I’m actually personally developing a programming language for Cardano,” Hoskinson wrote on X on Sunday, adding that he’s working on it with Lucas Rosa, a software engineer at Input Output Global who co-created Aiken, one of Cardano’s main smart contract languages.
That’s not something most founders do once their network is this big. Hoskinson runs a company full of engineers and is still choosing to write the tool future Cardano apps could be built on himself.
The language would support three tools: transaction intents, proof-carrying data and Groth16 proofs.
An intent lets a user say what they want done and leave the steps to the app. A trader could ask to swap one token for another only if the final price meets set conditions, without spelling out how to get there.
Proof-carrying data attaches cryptographic evidence to a piece of information, showing it follows certain rules. Another app can check that evidence without redoing every calculation behind it.
Groth16 is a widely used proof system that produces tiny proofs computers can check quickly. Those proofs can show a condition was met without revealing the private data used to meet it.
Together, they could let developers build apps that coordinate trades, check complicated conditions, and pass verified information between services, with Cardano checking a small proof at the end.
Cardano developers already write smart contracts in Plutus, which is built on the programming language Haskell, and in Aiken. Midnight, the privacy-focused blockchain built by Hoskinson’s company Input Output Global, has its own language, Compact, for apps that handle confidential data.
Meanwhile, Hoskinson hasn’t shared the new language’s name, any public code, or a date when developers can start using it.

Strive, a Nasdaq-listed company that holds Bitcoin as a treasury asset, bought 4,045 BTC between October 12 and 16, according to a regulatory filing published Monday.
The average price was about $82,803 per coin, meaning the stash was worth about $335 million, and the purchase lifts its holdings to 36,818 BTC, up from 32,773 a week earlier. That’s a total just north of $3 billion worth of Bitcoin at today’s prices.

High Court finds that they were cheated by two men who promised 1% daily returns, with funds moved through a 'layering process'.

KUALA LUMPUR:
The High Court here has ordered the government to return 497.82 bitcoin, valued at US$17.6 million based on 2023 valuations, to nine people who were cheated in an investment scheme promising daily returns of 1%.
The bitcoin was seized from two cryptocurrency wallets linked to Fadino Khairuman and Asyran Ismail.
Justice Arief Emran Arifin allowed the claims by the nine individuals, who deposited a total of 362.04 bitcoin into a wallet belonging to Bitkingdom between 2015 and 2016 after being misled by Fadino.
The bitcoin was subsequently transferred from the Bitkingdom wallet to wallets belonging to Fadino and Asyran.
Arief found that the nine had proven they were cheated by the two men, who made false representations about the promised daily returns.
He said the bitcoin had gone through a “layering process” as a result of the transactions.
“The claimants did not lend their bitcoin to the respondents, and they are not asserting a debt,” he said.
“They are saying that the bitcoin was obtained from them by cheating, and that the bitcoin, or what now stands in its place, is still theirs.”
He said each claimant had proven on a balance of probabilities that he or she deposited the amount of bitcoin claimed into Bitkingdom, and had a legitimate legal interest in the seized property.

A bitcoin wallet dormant since 2013 moved 411 BTC, now worth about $34 million. It is one of several long-dormant wallets to wake up recently.

$82,897.35
wallet, dormant since 2013, came back to life
On Sunday, the wallet moved all 411.45 of its BTC to a new address, according to blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence. At today’s price of about $82,600 per coin, that stash is worth roughly $34 million. When the owner first acquired those coins, the entire balance was worth just $54,000.
This awakening is part of a broader trend of historic supply shifting wallets this month. Just a day prior, two other wallets dormant for over a decade moved a combined 417 Bitcoin, and the week before, a large whale wallet static since the pre-Covid crash migrated its funds.
The pattern is highly reminiscent of 2025, when isolated mega-whales repeatedly woke up from a prolonged slumber. Just like last year, these sudden movements of long-dormant supply tend to spark speculation about a potential sale. But, as was the case then, most of the coins have been moved to new private wallets, a sign of custodial maintenance rather than an impending market dump.
The specific wallet behind Sunday's move received the bulk of its funds, some 411 BTC, on Sept. 11, 2013. Back then the cryptocurrency traded around $131. Over the next 13 years, the owner didn't buy, sell, or move a single coin. They simply sat tight as the asset's value skyrocketed more than 600 times, holding through three halvings, the 2017 boom, the 2022 FTX collapse, and the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in 2024.
While the owner remained completely inactive, the wallet itself did see some activity over the years. Dozens of tiny deposits trickled in, each worth less than a dollar. Several came from addresses that Arkham labels as phishing. It’s a common scam tactic known as “address poisoning.” Fraudsters send trace amounts of crypto ("dust") to high-value wallets, hoping the owner will accidentally copy the scammer's address from their transaction history during a future transfer.
The whale didn't fall for it.
At 18:23 UTC on Sunday, the owner sent the entire fortune to a new address, paying a transaction fee of just 337 satoshis, a fraction of a single cent.
So far, the funds have not been moved to an exchange. The new destination wallet has only received this single transfer and has not initiated any outgoing transactions. That lack of movement points to routine custodial housekeeping rather than a market sell-off.
The original 2013 wallet relied on an outdated address format, whereas the new destination utilizes SegWit (P2WPKH type), which is the modern standard that offers better security and lower transaction fees. Long-dormant holders frequently migrate to these upgraded formats to secure their assets before making any major financial moves.

What is this......

Bitcoin price hovers around the lower consolidation range at $65,729, a firm close below suggests a deeper correction ahead.Ethereum steadies around $1,950 after being rejected by the upper consolidation boundary the previous week.
XRP finds support around the lower trendline, a breakdown below this structure would likely trigger a corrective move.
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) prices trade on the back foot at the start of this week on Monday, after extending losses in the previous week. BTC is on the brink of a breakdown, ETH is capped below key resistance, and XRP risks a crack of the trendline. Meanwhile, the broader market sentiment remains risk-off, as the escalating military aggression in the Middle East over the weekend continues to weigh on the crypto market.
Bitcoin could extend its correction if it closes below key support
Bitcoin price has been finding support around the lower consolidation range at $65,729 since Friday, with the price hovering there. As of writing on Monday, BTC is trading at $66,000, nearing this support level.
If BTC breaks and closes below the lower consolidation range at $65,729, it could extend the decline toward Tuesday’s low at $62,510. A close below this level could extend losses toward the key support at $60,000.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is 39, below the neutral 50 level, indicating bearish momentum gaining traction. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover on February 15 that remains intact, suggesting a positive outlook.
BTC/USDT daily chart
If the lower consolidation range at $65,729 continues to hold and BTC recovers, the first significant resistance area emerges at the upper boundary of the consolidation range at $71,746.
Ethereum faces rejection from the upper consolidation range
Ethereum price faced rejection near the upper consolidation boundary at $2,149 and declined slightly last week. As of Monday, it hovers at $1,940.
If ETH continues to correct, it could extend the decline toward the lower consolidation range at $1,747.
Like Bitcoin, ETH’s momentum indicators show mixed signals: the RSI points to bearish pressure, while the MACD suggests a potential recovery could be brewing.
ETH/USDT daily chart
On the other hand, if ETH recovers, it could extend the advance toward the upper consolidation range at $2,149.
XRP risks trendline crack
XRP price has been finding support around the lower trendline boundary of a falling wedge since last week. This trendline roughly coincides with the weekly support level at $1.30, making it a key support zone. As of writing on Monday, XRP continues to find support around this level.
If XRP fails to find support around the trendline and corrects, it could extend the decline toward the weekly support at $1.30. A close below this level could extend the losses toward the February 6 low of $1.11.
Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP’s momentum indicators also show mixed signals, indicating indecision among traders as the price hovers near a key support zone.
XRP/USDT daily chart
However, if the lower trendline boundary holds as support, it could extend the recovery toward the key psychological $1.50 level.

DUSK (DUSK) price is extending its recovery, trading above $0.108 at the time of writing on Tuesday, after finding support at the key level on the previous day. Derivatives data support the ongoing rebound, with growing long bets among traders. On the technical side, the outlook is slightly bullish if the key support holds.
DUSK’s derivatives data support improving sentiment
CoinGlass data show that DUSK's long-to-short ratio reads 1.02 on Tuesday and has been steadily rising. The ratio above one reflects bullish sentiment in the markets, as more traders are betting on the asset price to rally.

In addition, DUSK’s futures Open Interest (OI) at Binance exchange rose to $7.42 on Tuesday from $6.50 million the previous day, after a sharp fall since mid-January, as shown in the chart below. This mild recovery in OI reflects growing investor participation and points to a constructive outlook.

DUSK Price Forecast: DUSK finds support around key level
DUSK price was rejected around the December 2024 high of $0.338 on January 19 and has since declined by more than 58% over nearly two weeks, retesting the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.100 on Sunday. As of Monday, DUSK found support around the 50-day EMA and rebounded slightly. At the time of writing on Tuesday, DUSK is trading above $0.110.
If DUSK continues its recovery, it could extend the advance toward the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (drawn from the October low of $0.025 to the January 2024 high of $0.329) at $0.148.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is 47, pointing upward toward the neutral 50 level, indicating fading bearish momentum. For the bullish momentum to be sustained, the RSI must move above the neutral level.
On the other hand, if DUSK closes below the 50-day EMA at $0.100 on a daily basis, it could extend the correction toward the 100-day EMA at $0.082.

Team Liquid, the most successful organization in esports history, today announced a major migration of content to Walrus. The collaboration sees the largest single dataset entrusted to the protocol to date, transitioning years of match footage, behind-the-scenes clips, and other beloved Team Liquid content from physical storage to the highly performant, decentralized data layer.
The move creates immediate efficiencies for Team Liquid: streamlining data access for its global team, removing silos, eliminating single points of failure, and future-proofing the organization’s core data infrastructure.
By entrusting Walrus with its vast library of multimedia content, Team Liquid transforms its archive from static files into onchain-compatible assets. This provides Team Liquid with the optionality to leverage the Sui Stack for future novel use cases, such as granting access to never-before-seen content or opening up new monetization opportunities, without ever needing to migrate the data again.
Team Liquid’s 250TB migration marks another milestone moment for Walrus, driving total data stored to new highs. It is further proof that Walrus is engineered for the world’s biggest stages, capable of handling enterprise-scale data and meeting the performance requirements of major global organizations.
Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive of the Walrus Foundation, commented on the announcement: “This partnership is about what becomes possible with data beyond storage. For Team Liquid, moving content to Walrus provides a foundation that’s reliable at scale, fast to work with across teams, and flexible enough to support new ways of using and monetising content over time, without needing to move or rebuild data as new use cases emerge. That’s becoming essential for organizations whose data is meant to both last and be actively leveraged.”
