According to CoinDesk, security engineer Taylor Hornby, who discovered a serious vulnerability in Zcash using the Anthropic Opus 4.8 AI model, stated that Monero (XMR) has been added to the audit queue, and more privacy coin projects will undergo security reviews in the future.Hornby previously discovered a critical vulnerability in the Zcash Orchard privacy pool on May 29, which had gone unnoticed since May 2022 and could theoretically allow attackers to create unlimited undetectable fake ZEC. The development team at Shielded Labs completed an emergency fix before June 1 and subsequently disclosed the details of the vulnerability. As a result of the incident, ZEC dropped by as much as 38% within 24 hours after the news broke, with the market concerned that attackers may have exploited the vulnerability to steal funds from the privacy pool without leaving on-chain traces.Hornby stated that he was commissioned by the nonprofit organization Shielded Labs in April of this year to identify protocol vulnerabilities before attackers could exploit them. Although he had the means to profit from the vulnerability, he chose to report the issue to the development team, stating that "such betrayal is unacceptable." Additionally, Hornby plans to apply for funding from the Zcash community to support subsequent security research efforts.

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. government is betting that stablecoins issued by private entities like Tether, pegged to the U.S. dollar, will expand to a scale of about $3 trillion in the coming years to support the international dominance of the dollar and absorb more demand for U.S. Treasury bonds.However, the article points out that the current mainstream stablecoin issuers are concentrated in Tether, which has questionable compliance and anti-money laundering practices in its registered location. In the event of a run or smart contract failure, this could impact the large amounts of U.S. Treasury assets it holds and disrupt global payments and settlements. The European Central Bank is advancing the use of central bank digital currencies and "tokenized euros" to support atomic settlements, in order to avoid being locked into critical financial infrastructure by U.S. private dollar tokens.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen recently elaborated on Bitget's strategic layout in the field of tokenized assets during an online AMA titled "The Future of RWA" hosted by Reality. She revealed that since proposing the Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy in early 2025, Bitget has been accelerating its evolution from a traditional crypto exchange to a platform covering all categories of assets. During a meeting with the COO of BlackRock, she introduced the "10% Vision": it is expected that by 2030, approximately 10% of global financial assets will exist in tokenized form. Currently, the penetration rate of tokenized stocks is only 0.01%, indicating a significant incremental space in traditional financial markets, which is precisely the trend that Reality is built upon.Gracy summarized "why now" as the convergence of five major trends: stablecoins have become a global settlement channel, especially in regions where fiat currencies are weak, creating demand for dollar-denominated investment products; there is a surge in user willingness for diversified asset allocation; blockchain performance, custody, compliance, and market maker systems are maturing; regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, and Hong Kong are moving from ambiguity to structured clarity; and the market's demand for capital efficiency is driving the release of new liquidity in tokenized assets.When discussing the pain points of the tokenized stock market, Gracy stated that some existing issuers often cause a deviation between the token price and the underlying asset price when handling corporate actions such as dividends and stock splits. The Reality platform is focused on addressing this issue by strictly aligning the Net Asset Value (NAV), supporting the mapping of dividends and corporate actions, and enhancing the consistency between tokenized assets and the real underlying assets. She also revealed that Bitget will continue to expand asset categories and further improve the UEX Universal Exchange ecosystem.

According to the latest disclosure from Cypherpunk Technologies, as of May 13, 2026, the company holds a total of 314,185.70 ZEC, with an average purchase price of $337.86. Based on the current price, the total cost of its holdings is approximately $106 million, with a current value of about $98.34 million, resulting in an unrealized loss of about $7.75 million; if calculated at today's low of 251.43 USDT, the unrealized loss would expand to approximately $27.2 million.Regarding this vulnerability incident, Cypherpunk tweeted that the vulnerability exists in all software, and Bitcoin once erroneously minted 184 billion tokens. The solution is not to deny the technology, but to strengthen it through formal verification and provable reliability, which is exactly what Zcash will introduce in the next update.

The ZEC treasury company Cypherpunk posted on platform X in response to the market fluctuations of the ZEC token, stating that all software has vulnerabilities. Historically, Bitcoin has "over-minted" 18.4 billion BTC due to errors. However, this does not mean that blockchain technology should be abandoned; rather, security should be enhanced through formal verification and provable correctness.Cypherpunk emphasized that with the development of AI technology, vulnerability detection will become faster and broader, but the key lies in who can identify problems before malicious actors do. Zcash demonstrates its capability in this regard through an upcoming update.Previously, it was reported that the privacy coin ZEC faced market sell-offs due to the revelation of a security vulnerability that could potentially lead to unlimited issuance, causing the coin's price to drop over 50% in a single day.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin (@EmberCN), ETH has been continuously declining recently, and the largest long position on Hyperliquid, which opened 120,000 ETH (approximately $271 million) at an average price of $2,261, has seen its unrealized loss expand to $73.66 million.To mitigate liquidation risk, this address recently added $26 million in margin, lowering the liquidation price range from the previous $1,617 to $1,355 down to $1,300 to $1,400. However, the current ETH price has dropped to $1,870, which is only about $470 away from the recent liquidation line, and the pressure from stop-loss and position reduction continues to intensify.
