glassnode's weekly market report indicates that the price of Bitcoin rebounded from $60,000 to $69,000. However, while spot trading volume has increased, it remains at a low level, showing that selling pressure has eased but buyer participation is cautious. This reflects a market that is frequently changing hands after a downward revaluation, rather than decisively accumulating.Over-the-counter indicators show that futures and options positions are defensively strong, with ETF trading volume surging to a high of $45.5 billion, yet accompanied by a slowdown in capital outflows, resulting in overall low risk appetite. On-chain fundamental activity has strengthened, but capital inflows are negative and unrealized losses dominate supply. Overall, the market's sustained recovery may depend on the restoration of spot demand, which would stabilize prices above recent lows.

According to charts and analysis released by Matrixport, Bitcoin is attempting to stage a counter-trend rebound after experiencing a capitulation-style sell-off. This round of decline has washed out weak positions and triggered passive selling pressure and chain liquidations in the derivatives market.In the short term, there is still some upward space from a technical perspective, but whether the rebound can be sustained largely depends on whether there is new capital to take over, rather than relying solely on short covering and systematic hedging funds. Matrixport points out that Bitcoin is still in a larger bear market reset phase, where rapid rebounds are not uncommon but often difficult to maintain. On-chain data also indicates that the current environment remains weak, with insufficient demand momentum and limited structural accumulation. Meanwhile, hedging activities in the options market are heating up, which may further amplify price volatility. If spot demand is insufficient, Bitcoin's price is more likely to experience a rapid decline, and the impact of derivatives on price will also increase.

An independent core development team led by Zcash (ZEC) founder Zooko, Shielded Labs, announced that it has received a donation from Vitalik Buterin, aimed at supporting the development of Crosslink.It is reported that Crosslink enhances Zcash's existing proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism by adding a parallel finality layer, thereby preventing chain reorganization and rollback attacks. All block generation and economic activity still occur on the PoW chain, while the finality mechanism anchors blocks and provides stronger settlement guarantees. By ensuring that confirmed transactions are irreversible, Crosslink reduces the risk of double spending and increases the reliability of transaction settlements. In commenting on the donation, Vitalik stated, "Zcash is one of the most trusted cryptocurrency projects, always maintaining a focus on privacy. The Crosslink project by Shielded Labs will make Zcash more secure while reducing the security budget, thus supporting its long-term sustainability."
