πŸ’° Zcash Launches Zakura Node, Targets 50,000 Private TPS

Zcash has released Zakura 1.0.0, a new node client designed to scale its shielded (private) transactions from roughly 1 TPS today to 50,000 TPS β€” matching Visa-level throughput.

Zakura is the first live component of Project Tachyon and the upcoming NU7 upgrade. It ships with nearly 5x faster sync speeds, sub-500ms block propagation goals, and a redesigned peer-to-peer network layer.

The launch comes amid challenges: a recently disclosed vulnerability and a 48% ZEC price crash underline the risks still facing the project. Zakura is a foundation piece, not the finished product β€” full Visa-scale performance depends on future upgrades still in development.

β‚Ώ Project Eleven Builds Quantum Recovery Tool for Bitcoin Wallets

Project Eleven has funded a proof-of-concept that could help Bitcoin wallet owners prove ownership after quantum computers become capable of forging cryptographic signatures.

The tool uses a wallet's own key-derivation path as proof of ownership β€” a fallback for when traditional signature-based verification is no longer secure. It runs in 243 milliseconds on a standard laptop.

One notable exception: Satoshi Nakamoto's estimated 1.1 million coins are excluded, as those wallets lack the derivation path data needed to qualify.

β‚Ώ BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Predicts Bitcoin Could Hit $700,000

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has publicly reiterated his bullish stance on Bitcoin, telling CNBC he believes BTC could reach $700,000.

Fink attributed the potential price target to growing institutional demand and the possibility of sovereign wealth funds allocating even a small percentage of their portfolios to Bitcoin. He noted that if large institutions move into BTC in a meaningful way, the impact on price could be dramatic.

This is not the first time Fink has made a bold Bitcoin call β€” he has shifted from a longtime skeptic to one of the most prominent institutional voices in crypto, overseeing BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF which has attracted billions in inflows since its launch.

πŸ“° Russia Finalizes Sweeping Crypto Regulation Bill

Russia's State Duma is set to vote on July 21 on draft law No. 1194918-8, "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights," in its second and third readings.

The bill would legalize regulated crypto trading and cross-border settlements through licensed exchanges, while keeping the existing ban on using digital assets as domestic payment. It also introduces investor caps for retail participants.

The legislation marks a major shift in Russia's approach β€” moving from broad restrictions toward a structured legal framework for crypto activity within defined limits.

πŸͺ‚ Binance Runs Two Reward Campaigns This Week

🎁 What it is: Binance has two active reward promotions running in parallel right now β€” a trading tournament for Aerodrome (AERO) and a free daily knowledge quiz.

πŸ“ˆ AERO Trading Tournament
πŸ”Ή What to do: Trade AERO/USDT or AERO/USDC on Binance Spot, reach $500 minimum volume. Runs July 21–28.
πŸ”Ή Requirements: Verified Binance user; Spot Liquidity Providers and Brokers excluded.
πŸ”Ή Rewards: 400,000 USDC pool β€” top 5 ranks get 12,000/10,000/8,000/6,000/4,000 USDC; lower ranks split remaining tiers, capped at 5 USDC each for the lowest tier.

🧠 Word of the Day Quiz

β‚Ώ Bitcoin Hits One-Month High at $66,300

Bitcoin broke above local resistance to reach $66,300, marking its highest price in roughly a month. The move has been described as a range breakout attempt, with analysts flagging potential for an additional 6% upside if momentum holds.

No specific catalyst has been confirmed β€” the push appears driven by technical momentum as BTC cleared a key resistance level that had capped price action in recent weeks.

β‚Ώ Galaxy Commits $5M to Quantum-Proof Bitcoin

Galaxy Digital has launched a Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Initiative, committing up to $5 million to fund developers working to protect the Bitcoin network from future quantum computing attacks.

The move comes as researchers, major exchanges, and the U.S. government warn that "Q-Day" β€” the point at which quantum computers become powerful enough to break current cryptographic protections β€” could arrive as soon as 2030. Around 35% of the total BTC supply is considered potentially at risk under such a scenario.

Galaxy's funding will go toward strengthening Bitcoin's blockchain security before quantum hardware reaches that threshold, giving the network time to implement post-quantum cryptographic standards.

πŸͺ‚ Orbinum ($ORB) Testnet β€” Zero-Deposit Airdrop Farm

🎁 Orbinum is a privacy-focused Substrate L1 with EVM compatibility via Frontier, using ZK shielded pools for private transfers. Its testnet went live July 16, with mainnet and TGE targeted for Q4 2026.

πŸ”Ή What to do:
Connect your wallet on the Orbinum Community dashboard and link Discord, Telegram and X (20 credit signup bonus). Add the testnet and claim gas from the faucet. Run all four on-chain quests daily β€” shield, private transfer, unshield, selective disclosure. Keep your weekly streak for up to a 1.5x credit multiplier. Complete the off-chain quests too, and share your referral link for 10 credits per verified invite.

πŸ”Ή Requirements: No deposit, no bridging, no minimum wallet balance β€” one of the cleanest entry points for first-time airdrop farmers.

πŸ”Ή Rewards: 20,000,000 ORB (2% of total supply) community pool. Credits convert proportionally β€” no fixed amount per task. Full unlock at TGE, zero vesting.

⚠️ Snapshot is taken 14 days before mainnet β€” not at TGE. Farming after the snapshot won't count for anything.

β‚Ώ Bitcoin Reclaims $66K on Five Days of ETF Inflows

Bitcoin has pushed back above $66,000 following five consecutive days of net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs, signalling renewed institutional demand.

The move has also triggered broader capital rotation into the wider crypto market, with cross-chain infrastructure projects among the beneficiaries.

β‚Ώ Bitcoin Ownership Overtakes Gold Among U.S. Investors

According to a new report from bitcoin financial services firm River, 49.6 million Americans β€” 18.6% of the adult population β€” now own Bitcoin, compared to just 28.8 million (10.8%) who hold gold.

That means Bitcoin has surpassed a 5,000-year-old store of value in terms of U.S. retail ownership β€” a notable milestone for an asset that has existed for less than two decades.

The data comes from River, a Bitcoin-focused financial services firm, so the framing leans bullish β€” but the numbers themselves mark a clear shift in how Americans are choosing to hold hard assets.

🌐 AFX Trade Loses $24M After Bridge Signing Keys Compromised

Arbitrum-based perpetuals DEX AFX Trade was drained of $24.15 million USDC after an attacker compromised the hot-validator signing keys to AFX's own custody bridge β€” not Arbitrum's native bridge, which Arbitrum co-founder Steven Goldfeder confirmed was unaffected.

The attacker gathered enough validator signatures to approve the full withdrawal, then bridged the stolen USDC from Arbitrum to Ethereum and swapped it for 12,467.5 ETH, now held in a single wallet. Security firms Blockaid and PeckShield flagged the exploit almost immediately.

AFX has offered the hacker a 30% bounty β€” roughly $7.2M β€” to return the remaining funds. The incident adds to a growing tally of losses this month, with July crypto hack losses approaching $100 million.

πŸ”Ή Rewards: 500 USDC pool β€” top 20 posts picked by Binance get 25 USDC each.

⚠️ The quiz is a guaranteed payout for anyone who finishes it. The Community Challenge isn't β€” Binance subjectively picks the winning posts, so there's no payout just for entering.

β‚Ώ Bitcoin and Ethereum Protocols Lose $35M in Coordinated Attacks

Multiple Bitcoin and Ethereum-linked protocols were drained of $35 million in a series of attacks that struck within hours of each other, targeting Verus, BΒ² Network, and other cross-chain systems.

The exploits did not break underlying cryptography. Instead, attackers leveraged compromised private keys, abused upgrade permissions, and bypassed validation checks β€” weaknesses in how protocols are managed and governed, not in the blockchains themselves.

The cluster of attacks highlights a recurring pattern in DeFi: the most critical vulnerabilities often sit in operational security and admin controls, not the code that users see.

πŸ“’ Samsung Wallet to Support Stablecoins After Galaxy Unpacked Reveal

Samsung has announced stablecoin support is coming to Samsung Wallet, positioning the app as a broader financial platform beyond payments and loyalty rewards.

The announcement came at the 2026 Galaxy Unpacked event, alongside the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Card. Samsung described the updated wallet as "the foundation of a connected financial ecosystem." The company showcased a wallet interface featuring Circle's USDC, though no official stablecoin partnerships have been confirmed yet.

No specific launch date or list of supported stablecoins has been announced beyond the USDC display shown at the event.

β‚Ώ Bitcoin Stalls at $68,000 as 3.55M BTC Hit Cost Basis

Bitcoin has gained roughly 10% in July, climbing from lows near $58,000 to around $63,955 β€” but its advance is stalling as it approaches $68,000.

The reason: 3.55 million BTC are sitting near their holders' cost basis at that level. When price reaches what holders originally paid, many tend to sell, creating a significant supply wall that is currently offsetting strong spot Bitcoin ETF demand.

ETF inflows have been a key driver of July's recovery, but the concentrated cluster of break-even sellers around $68,000 is proving difficult to push through without a major shift in buying pressure.

πŸ’° Payment Gateway Triple-A Loses $9.7M in Multi-Chain Hack

Triple-A, a global fiat-to-crypto payment gateway, has been hit by a major exploit. Attackers drained its hot wallets across four blockchains β€” Ethereum, Solana, TRON, and TON β€” stealing over $9.7 million in total.

Blockchain security firm PeckShield flagged the incident after on-chain analyst Specter first spotted suspicious transactions. The attacker then swapped the stolen assets and consolidated the proceeds on Ethereum β€” a common laundering tactic to obscure the trail.

Triple-A serves businesses and merchants processing crypto payments globally, making this a significant breach in crypto payment infrastructure. The full cause of the exploit has not been publicly confirmed yet.

πŸ“Š Stablecoin Volume Surges 4–5x as Supply Doubles Since 2024

Stablecoin supply has roughly doubled since January 2024, but transaction activity has grown even faster β€” up fourfold to fivefold β€” according to Coinbase Institutional, revealing a widening gap between available onchain liquidity and actual usage.

The data highlights stablecoins settling transactions around the clock, including weekends when traditional banking systems are offline. Settlement speeds are described as up to 8x faster than US cash rails, with the broader stablecoin network approaching $1 trillion in activity.

The divergence between market cap growth and volume growth suggests demand for dollar-denominated onchain activity is outpacing the simple accumulation of stablecoin reserves β€” a signal of deepening real-world utility rather than passive holding.

πŸ’° $7B Flows Into Chainlink as Bridge Hacks Drive Migration

Chainlink pulled in over $7 billion in token value onto its cross-chain infrastructure in Q2, according to its own quarterly review.

The surge was driven by two forces: crypto projects ditching older bridging systems following a $650 million wave of bridge hacks, and traditional finance firms moving deeper into tokenized asset markets β€” both turning to Chainlink as a more secure alternative.

The growth reflects accelerating institutional adoption on both sides of the digital-asset economy, with Chainlink expanding its role as core infrastructure for cross-chain transfers and real-world asset tokenization.
