On February 14, news reports indicate that as the debate over the implementation of the CLARITY Act continues, cryptocurrency groups have proposed new principles to oppose the bill draft put forward by banks. The Digital Chamber of Commerce, a blockchain industry association, released a set of its own guiding principles, emphasizing that a two-year study on the impact of stablecoins on bank deposits is acceptable, but opposing provisions that automatically generate regulatory rules. Cody Carbone, CEO of the Digital Chamber of Commerce, stated that the industry is willing to compromise on the static yields of stablecoins similar to bank savings accounts, but emphasized that crypto companies should still be able to offer rewards to customers for transactions and other activities. He called on banks to return to the negotiating table to avoid missing the opportunity to establish a fair reward mechanism.

Zcash (ZEC) performed strongly in the December market, with the price soaring 13% in a single day to approximately $460, significantly outperforming the recent sideways-moving cryptocurrency market. Along with the price increase, Zcash's 24-hour trading volume expanded accordingly, and its market capitalization also showed a noticeable growth, indicating an accelerated influx of funds into privacy sector assets. The core driver of this rise is the anticipation of a network upgrade. Zcash developers and Shielded Labs announced a dynamic fee market proposal, planning to upgrade the current static fee structure to a more flexible dynamic mechanism. According to the announcement, the new system will automatically adjust fees based on network congestion to reduce transaction costs and improve confirmation efficiency during high activity periods. This upgrade is seen by the market as a key step to improve user experience and enhance scalability, thereby boosting investor confidence.

PANews, December 9—According to CoinDesk, Shielded Labs has put forward a new proposal to establish a dynamic fee market for Zcash, aiming to address rising transaction costs and network congestion. The proposal suggests abandoning Zcash’s longstanding static fee model—initially set at 10,000 “zatoshi,” later reduced to 1,000. While this model worked under low demand, it eventually led to a “sandblasting” spam transaction wave, resulting in wallet congestion and on-chain transaction blockage. Previously, the ZIP-317 proposal adopted an operation-based accounting method, which solved the abuse problem, but fees remained predictable and low, unable to adjust based on usage. The latest proposal introduces a simple, stateless dynamic fee design built around “comparables,” observing the past 50 blocks

Odaily Planet Daily news: X platform fintech blogger @oostmarcel revealed that Revolut, the largest financial app in Europe with 65 million users, has launched "Street Mode," which is considered one of the smartest security upgrades in fintech this year. It is reported that due to the surge in mobile phone thefts in Europe and the escalation of criminal methods—where robbers force victims to complete selfie verification before fleeing, a trend known as "transfer robbery"—Revolut's solution is "context-aware security." This feature allows users to set "trusted locations" (such as home, office, hotel), and outside these areas, transfers exceeding a set limit will trigger extra selfie verification and a 1-hour delay restriction. This 1 hour is a critical window during which users or anti-fraud teams can freeze the funds in time. In comparison, traditional banks' security measures are static, while Revo

Golden Finance reports that Simon Gerovich, CEO of the Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, stated on the X platform that some say the ETF is a disadvantage for Metaplanet, but that is not the case. The ETF needs to be supported by capital inflows; otherwise, the number of BTC held will never increase. Moreover, the number of BTC held by Bitcoin treasury companies like Metaplanet will never increase. Therefore, the ETF is a "static exposure", with different roles for both. The ETF does not undermine the advantages of Bitcoin treasury companies.
