As the Coldcard hardware wallet exposes firmware vulnerabilities, over 80 million USD in BTC is stolen, and the market re-discusses whether to turn to institutional custody or directly buy Bitcoin ETFs, well-known analyst Willy Woo responded in a post stating that he does not oppose ETFs or custody solutions. They have many benefits in gaining recognition and accessing the traditional financial system, but the uniqueness of Bitcoin lies in the fact that it is the only truly sovereign mature digital asset, without nationality, cannot be blocked, diluted, or confiscated by any country, and only by mastering self-custody can one obtain this attribute.Willy Woo stated that since World War II, the West has mostly lived in a bubble of security, but as Ray Dalio pointed out based on 1500 years of historical research, stability itself is a cycle. When the cycle ends, people will need reserves that can protect them when the world briefly collapses, while custodial assets may fail, and governments may confiscate assets both in the past and in the future. He indicated that we are currently in the later stage of this cycle and recommended allocating 15% of assets to sovereign assets such as Bitcoin and gold.

According to official news, a total of 129,396 ZEC have been migrated to the Ironwood shielded pool, valued at over 60 million dollars at current prices.The official statement said that Ironwood, as the latest shielded pool for Zcash, has completed formal verification, supports independent audits, and is currently carrying an increasing proportion of shielded funds in the network.

Zcash activated the Ironwood NU6.3 network upgrade at block height 3,428,143, launching a new shielded pool to enhance network security and allow for the independent verification of ZEC circulating supply.After the upgrade, the original Orchard pool was restricted, and new funds are not allowed to enter. Existing funds must be migrated out through a turnstile before re-entering Ironwood, ensuring at the protocol level that pool expenditures do not exceed verifiable income. Ironwood is based on a revised protocol that has been formally verified and independently audited, aimed at preventing similar risks to the previous Orchard declarative vulnerabilities. Wallets supporting Ironwood (such as Zodl 3.8.0) have provided migration paths, allowing users to transfer funds from Orchard to the new pool without changing addresses.

Regarding the details of the withdrawal announcement released by Bitmart, WOO X ambassador Baki posted on the X platform, "BitMart is restricting user withdrawals for security reasons, and its operation to disable the automatic withdrawal function may result in a large number of users being unable to complete fund withdrawals. The platform has changed the withdrawal process to manual review, requiring users to submit account identity and KYC information verification, login device and IP address and account security status verification, withdrawal address and blockchain transaction risk review, source of funds and transaction history review, Travel Rule compliance and sanctions screening, and other regulatory checks. If necessary, additional documents such as proof of identity, proof of address, proof of source of funds, or proof of ownership of the withdrawal address may also be required."Baki suggested that users with P2P options could withdraw to their bank accounts through that channel; he also emphasized that the crypto market is not decentralized but controlled by a few large groups, exchanges, and funders.

Zcash core developer Sean Bowe posted on the X platform that the block height for the Zcash Ironwood mainnet activation has been determined and marked. All major organizations have committed to activating the NU6.3 upgrade at block height 3,428,143, expected to occur at 8 PM Beijing time on July 28.According to previous news, this upgrade stems from the earlier Orchard pool vulnerability—this vulnerability could allow attackers to mint an unlimited amount of counterfeit ZEC, and due to the privacy attributes of the Orchard pool, the team could not determine whether any counterfeit ZEC was minted before the vulnerability was patched. The Ironwood upgrade will implement two core measures: first, it will introduce a new privacy pool using the Orchard protocol, while the old pool will be gradually phased out; second, it will add a control flag in the zero-knowledge proof circuit, which, when enabled, can disable the function of transferring to other users in the pool while retaining the change feature.

Cathie Wood posted on the X platform stating that, in ARK Invest's view, stablecoins are monetary networks that, through trust, collateral utility, and integration, will have their network effects compounded over time.The network effects of USDT and USDC have always been strong. LorenzoARK explained the reasons why OUSD is unlikely to replace them.

The Zcash development team announced plans to introduce formal verification through the upcoming new privacy pool Ironwood, using mathematical proofs to eliminate the risk of "undetectable inflation vulnerabilities."According to previous news, although the vulnerabilities in the Orchard shielded pool have been fixed and there is no evidence of exploitation, the community decided to launch a brand new Ironwood shielded pool and conduct comprehensive formal verification of its protocol, as it is theoretically impossible to confirm whether hidden inflation has occurred through on-chain history.

According to Zcash developer Sean Bowe (@ebfull), the Zcash Ironwood network upgrade has made significant progress: all consensus rule changes have been implemented and have entered the audit phase, and the related specifications (ZIPs) have been released and are nearing final status; the testnet activation is scheduled for July 4, and the mainnet activation is expected to be completed around July 21.The team is simultaneously conducting formal verification work to eliminate potential risks regarding supply integrity, and the relevant results will be announced before the mainnet activation. The only impact on users after the upgrade will be the migration process of the old funding pool. There is already sufficient hashing power expressing support for the mainnet upgrade, although some wallets may not be able to complete adaptation in time, but the team has stated that this will not delay the activation, and ample alternative solutions and testnet time will be provided.

According to Chosun Biz, South Korea's Kiwoom Securities is seeking to acquire a stake in South Korea's second-largest virtual asset exchange, Bithumb. Both parties are discussing the issuance of new shares through a third-party allotment, with the specific equity ratio and investment scale still being coordinated.South Korean securities companies are rushing to enter the virtual asset industry ahead of the issuance of security tokens (STO) and the institutionalization of stablecoins; the Financial Services Commission of South Korea is also discussing the major shareholder equity regulations in the second phase of the virtual asset law, which will generally limit the shareholding ratio of major shareholders in virtual asset exchanges to 20%, with exceptions allowing up to 34%. Bithumb's largest shareholder, Bithumb Holdings, currently holds 73.56%, and if the relevant regulations are implemented, it will need to reduce its stake by more than 50 percentage points.

According to the latest daily trading disclosure information released by ARK Invest, Cathie Wood's ARK Invest spent $25.54 million on June 26 to purchase stocks of Coinbase, SpaceX, Circle, Bullish, and Robinhood.Among them, $10.19 million was spent on Coinbase stocks (68,366 shares); $7.01 million on SpaceX stocks; and $5.79 million on Circle stocks.

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated on the X platform that capital outflows from globally less stable countries will bring new upward momentum for Bitcoin and other digital assets.She pointed out that artificial intelligence is leading a technological revolution and "drawing a lot of attention and liquidity" in the investment field, but AI cannot replace the role that digital assets play in the current global environment—especially as a "wealth insurance tool."Cathie Wood emphasized that against the backdrop of rising macro uncertainty, the demand from investors for asset preservation and cross-border allocation tools is increasing, and digital assets are gradually becoming an important means of meeting this demand.

Zcash core developer Sean Bowe published an update on the progress of the Ironwood upgrade, stating that in the past 48 hours, protocol developers from various organizations have held two meetings and reached consensus on several specifications and implementation details of Ironwood, including disabling Orchard pool bundling in Coinbase transactions, using anchors for hardware wallet migration authentication data, and the order of processing ZIPs and specifications. Currently, the Ironwood circuit and ZIP 2005 integration draft are under review. Valar Group has completed the setup of the testnet and implemented some changes on the wallet side.Meanwhile, formal verification work continues to advance, and the development team plans to hold a meeting tomorrow to determine the final verification strategy. In addition, at least three mainstream auditing firms are conducting security audits on Orchard, and multiple AI auditing tools have also been put into use. Sean Bowe stated that overall development progress is going smoothly.

The Zcash developers have completed the consensus rule changes for the Ironwood upgrade and plan to activate this upgrade in July. This upgrade will introduce a new privacy transaction pool based on the Orchard protocol to replace the old Orchard pool, and adjustments will be made to ensure that the circulating supply of ZEC remains constrained.According to the developers' plan, Ironwood will introduce a "flag" mechanism between the old and new Orchard pools, restricting the old pool from receiving new transactions while allowing for change generation as a privacy protection measure. After the upgrade is activated, the old Orchard pool will be prohibited from receiving new deposits, and wallets will route new transactions to the new pool.The developers stated that this design combines the existing turnstile mechanism to ensure that the circulating supply of ZEC cannot be infinitely minted and allows users to migrate their funds to the new pool to reduce potential risks.

Core contributors of the Zcash ecosystem, ZODL, announced that they are collaborating with Tachyon, Valar Group, Zcash Foundation, and Shielded Labs to propose a new network upgrade plan and privacy pool called Ironwood.Ironwood will be built on the existing Orchard protocol and will further enhance security through formal verification and additional independent audits.
