time flies

okay just submitted my bids to mint a few more

i think 2 zec per should be pretty safe and realistic

personally expecting price to be less than 1 ZEC

the way i think of this is similar to nodemonkes, and if you're bullish ZEC and expecting the wealthy to shield their money as a growing trend, then PFPs are a way to flex that wealth

i never quite understood NFTs but from my understanding, big runners are usually culture and/or psychological ego games, so am going to take a risk here and punt

praying for up for both ZEC and zksnarks

Buckle up folks:

If the Fed decides to leave interest rates unchanged today, it would deliver the biggest shock to market expectations since 1994.

Otherwise, President Trump has threatened to "stop trading" with all countries that the US has a trade deficit with if the Fed does not CUT rates.

That's ~50% of all US trading partners.

The Fed's decision will be released in 70 minutes.

FED DOT PLOT

FED: 16 OFFICIALS PROJECT AT LEAST ONE MORE RATE HIKE IN 2026

i top blasted more ZEC 2 hours ago to bid zksnarks and now i'm already up

FED DOT PLOT DELIVERS HAWKISH HIGHER-FOR-LONGER SIGNAL

The Fed’s new Dot Plot shows 12 of 18 officials expect another 25bp hike by year-end, taking rates to 4.125%, while four see rates reaching 4.375%.

The hawkish signal extends well beyond 2026: 14 officials see rates ending 2027 above today’s level, while the 2028 median stands at 3.9% versus 3.4% expected.

The longer-run rate also rose to 3.2%, suggesting officials increasingly believe neutral rates have moved higher.

Just In: SEC Approves Innovation Exemption for Tokenized U.S. Stocks to Trade via Onchain AMMs

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it has officially approved a temporary, conditional exemptive framework (the "Innovation Exemption") to allow limited pilot trading of tokenized National Market System (NMS) stocks on specific onchain platforms known as Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs). The exemption provides temporary regulatory relief to TSVs, ensuring they are not immediately classified as "exchanges" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 when offering tokenized equities through permissioned automated market makers (AMMs) and liquidity pools, while also establishing clear guidelines for liquidity providers deploying proprietary capital for market-making support. — link
