Zcash community member ValarDragon posted on the official community forum, proposing a series of plans to be included in the NU8 network upgrade, and suggested setting the upgrade target for the end of January 2027. The main content includes the launch of the Tachyon shielded pool, expanding transaction formats, increasing the maximum block size from 2MB to 8MB, and adding support for post-quantum cryptography transparent transaction opcodes.Other proposals also include: adjusting the NSM redistribution date to be closer to the time of Zcash's seventh halving; determining a date at the protocol level for Sapling to stop accepting new deposits while continuing to support transactions and withdrawals; and eliminating the need to update the Consensus Branch ID with each network upgrade to reduce wallet compatibility issues. ValarDragon stated that with the combination of Tachyon and larger block capacity, a shielded transaction processing capability of approximately 200 TPS is expected. In addition, the post-quantum transparent transaction feature will introduce schemes based on SPHINCS with 128-bit and 192-bit security levels. The above content currently belongs to the upgrade ideas proposed by community members, and specific implementation still depends on development progress and subsequent NU8 discussions and voting.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin traded below $75,000 on Tuesday morning as the market awaited the U.S. October CPI data. Economists expect the overall CPI to rise 0.3% month-over-month, with core CPI rising 0.2%, both slowing compared to September. Due to the U.S. government shutdown last October, the Bureau of Labor Statistics was unable to compile a complete index, so there is no year-over-year data this time.BRN analysts stated that any easing of inflation expectations would benefit risk assets, but Bitcoin needs real buying pressure. Until ETF fund flows turn positive and the Federal Reserve shifts to a dovish stance, the path of least resistance remains downward. Bitget Wallet analysts believe that moderate inflation data could trigger a brief rebound, but Bitcoin's sustained recovery depends on improved liquidity and spot demand. Analysts pointed out that if Bitcoin closes below $73,000 on a daily basis, it could trigger momentum selling down to $70,000; the $73,000 to $74,000 range is a key support zone, and reclaiming and holding above $80,000 would indicate increased demand.

After a field visit to the Yuanjing Star River base in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, the American semiconductor research organization SemiAnalysis stated that the construction cost of this Chinese AI data center park may be only one-fifth of similar projects in the United States. The first phase of the Star River base, with a capacity of 120MW, was completed and delivered in less than a year. On August 6 of this year, the infrastructure for the first phase was completed, and the wind power and energy storage company Yuanjing Technology announced that the base officially commenced production. After nearly three months of electromechanical debugging and deployment of computing power equipment, the first phase of the approximately 200MW project was fully delivered to customers by the end of October.The entire park is planned to reach an IT power supply capacity of 800MW by the end of 2027, comparable to the approximately 820MW planned for OpenAI's Stargate Abilene core park, which is expected to reach this scale by the end of 2026. Stargate is a data center construction plan covering multiple states, with an initial goal of implementing 10GW of AI infrastructure capacity in the United States by 2029. In April of this year, OpenAI announced that it had secured over 10GW of planned capacity ahead of schedule, but these data centers have not all been completed and put into operation.Yuanjing Technology integrates power generation, energy storage, power supply, and data center construction, having built two wind farms with a total installed capacity of 420MW and supporting battery storage, aiming for over 60% of the electricity used by the first two phases of the data center to come from its own wind power. In contrast, the American Stargate Abilene park mainly relies on the grid and on-site gas-fired power generation facilities for electricity. Yuanjing has already operated an 800V high-voltage direct current system in a 5MW machine room, directly converting 10kV alternating current into the direct current required for server cabinets. The park also employs a cooling design that does not require central chilled water units, allowing liquid-cooled and air-cooled servers to share a single water circulation system.

During the quarter ending September 30, 2026, Bitcoin mining company HIVE Digital Technologies produced 1,070 Bitcoins, a 49% increase from 718 Bitcoins in the same period last year. However, affected by the decline in Bitcoin prices, its mining revenue decreased by 7.4% year-on-year to $76 million, while the average Bitcoin price fell from $114,382 to $71,003.As HIVE expands its global mining capacity, its electricity costs rose from $37.9 million to $45.6 million, and due to "weak mining economics," the company recorded a non-cash impairment of $31.2 million on mining machines. During the same period, the company's high-performance computing (HPC) hosting revenue grew by 71% to $8.8 million, accounting for 10.4% of quarterly revenue. HIVE plans to invest up to $493 million to expand its HPC business over the next 36 months, having already invested $145.3 million as of the report date, and plans to spend approximately $35 million to convert its Toronto facility into a Tier-III data center.The financial report shows that HIVE's revenue for the second fiscal quarter was $84.9 million, a year-on-year decrease of 2.7%, which was higher than the market expectation of $79.4 million; GAAP net loss was $78.7 million, or $0.29 per share. HIVE's Nasdaq stock price fell 1.7% to $1.78 after hours on Monday. HIVE's performance further indicates that Bitcoin mining economics are under pressure, with American Bitcoin reporting weakened mining margins last week, and Core Scientific planning to completely exit the mining business by the end of the year.

On November 9, Apex, the founder of Veil, announced that the team has decided to shut down Veil. Deposits will cease immediately, while the front end and relay will continue to operate until December 21, 2026. After that, withdrawals can still be completed through command line tools. Apex stated that after two years of development, the privacy solution they hoped to achieve has not been scaled. The protocol experienced a strong usage phase but was unable to sustain it. The privacy strength of Veil relies on usage, and a decline in usage will weaken privacy. In recent months, the protocol has not consistently delivered its core value as set. Public information shows that Veil is a zero-knowledge privacy protocol supported by Coinbase Ventures.Apex stated that despite not resolving the initial issues, they still view privacy as the most challenging problem in the cryptocurrency industry to date and thanked Base, the Coinbase team, and all parties who held, used, or supported Veil for their assistance over the past two years. The shutdown also means that support for the VEIL token will stop on the same day, including staking rewards and liquidity provider incentives, and the tokens held by the treasury will be destroyed. Apex mentioned that they will not leave the industry and remain optimistic about cryptocurrencies, Ethereum, and Base, but the specific direction for the next phase of development has not yet been determined. They indicated that Veil had previously occupied all their energy, and future projects would need to achieve the same level of conviction before proceeding.
