According to CoinDesk, the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash (ZEC) has surpassed the long-dominant Monero (XMR) in market capitalization, which may signify a power shift in the privacy coin sector. ZEC's market cap first exceeded XMR last Friday, remaining above its predecessor for several hours after a nearly 50% increase in the previous seven days.Throughout the weekend, ZEC maintained its lead, with its market cap reaching as high as $7.2 billion, while XMR hovered around $6.3 billion. Recently, both have had market caps of approximately $6.4 billion. Zcash was launched in 2016, while Monero was created in 2014.The biggest difference between the two lies in their privacy mechanisms: Zcash employs an optional privacy mode, allowing users to choose between transparent or encrypted (shielded) transactions; Monero has all transactions encrypted by default, lacking any choice. This flexibility makes Zcash more readily accepted by traders and institutions, especially those looking to balance privacy with compliance. In contrast, Monero has been delisted from several mainstream trading platforms due to anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) issues.

ChainCatcher news, as disclosed by Slow Mist's Yu Xian on X platform, Monero has been attacked again, experiencing an 18-block reorganization. In response, Yu Xian stated: "If no one in the Monero community takes the issue of block reorganization seriously, then this sword of Damocles will always hang over Monero... It may not necessarily lead to a double-spend attack, but the capability is there... and it doesn't have to strictly exceed 51% of the hash rate..."

ChainCatcher message, SlowMist's YuXian updated the Venus security incident on platform X as follows: In this whale theft incident, both the Venus protocol and the frontend should be fine. Currently, the analysis from SlowMist's partners leans towards the whale being targeted in a specific attack. Although the whale used a hardware wallet, the relevant wallet extension in the computer (used in combination with the hardware wallet) was replaced. When the user performed a normal redeemUnderlying operation, it was replaced with an updateDelegate operation, ultimately leading to the theft of assets in Venus.The hacker funding for this targeted attack on the whale came from Gas exchanged from the privacy token Monero (XMR). Other related funds trace back to eXch, which is the previously sanctioned darknet trading platform, also a trading platform favored by North Korean hackers in the past.
