ZEC has entered a sharp correction phase after a 1,500% rally that pushed the Zcash price to a seven-year high of nearly $744. The coin, which became the top-performing privacy asset in 2025, is now down over 25% from its all-time high as traders question whether its parabolic uptrend has finally peaked. Related Reading: Is The Dogecoin Bottom In? Analyst Explains What Matters Now According to data from TradingView, ZEC began its meteoric rise in early September, breaking through long-term resistance levels at $400. However, analysts now warn that the asset may have reached its cyclical top. Popular trader Altcoin Sherpa cautioned that such steep, prolonged rallies often “end with a sharp and painful collapse.” Similarly, technical indicators show ZEC’s RSI recently hit 94.2, an extreme overbought reading last seen during its 2017–2018 boom. ZEC's price records sharp losses on the daily chart. Source: ZECUSD on Tradingview Analysts Warn of Deep Pullback Toward $300–$400 Range Multiple market observers expect a deeper correction in the weeks ahead. Trader Greeny noted that Zcash’s current rally is “the longest in its history” and could mirror previous cycles that ended with 45%–90% drawdowns. On the daily chart, ZEC appears trapped within a corrective channel, suggesting further downside unless strong support emerges around the $400 zone. Still, not all analysts are bearish. Technical analyst Valdrin Tahiri emphasized that ZEC’s MACD and RSI indicators, although overbought, exhibit no bearish divergence, suggesting that the pullback may be a temporary correction rather than the beginning of a prolonged downtrend. If bulls manage to defend the $400 level, the coin could stabilize before resuming its broader bullish structure. Arthur Hayes Sees Long-Term Upside Amid Fiscal Expansion Adding intrigue to the ongoing correction, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes recently reaffirmed his bullish stance on Zcash, predicting that both BTC and ZEC could benefit from renewed U.S. fiscal stimulus. Hayes argues that as government liquidity increases, privacy coins like Zcash stand to gain as investors seek decentralized and censorship-resistant assets.

#uniswap #uniswap price #uni price #uni #cryptocurrency market news #ki young ju #uniswap news

Uniswap (UNI) ripped higher on Tuesday after Uniswap Labs founder Hayden Adams unveiled “UNIfication,” a sweeping governance proposal that would activate protocol fees and route them into coordinated token burns. The structural shift—combined with a sharp change in how Uniswap’s teams are organized, igniting an extremely bullish sentiment, with CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju arguing that a real supply shock could be incoming. Uniswap (UNI) Supply Shock Incoming? “Uniswap could go parabolic if the fee switch is activated. Even just counting v2 and v3, with $1T in YTD volume, that’s about $500M in annual burns if volume holds. Exchanges hold $830M, so even with unlocks, a supply shock seems inevitable. Correct me if I’m wrong,” Ki Young Ju wrote. In a thread posted early Tuesday, Adams said he was “incredibly excited to make my first proposal to Uniswap governance,” describing a framework that “turns on protocol fees and aligns incentives across the Uniswap ecosystem.” He framed the move as the culmination of years of legal wrangling that had constrained Labs’ role: “UNI launched in 2020, but for the past 5 years Labs has been unable to meaningfully participate in Uniswap governance […] That ends today,” he wrote, adding that “the regulatory environment has shifted.” Related Reading: Binance Whales Turn Active On Uniswap As Outflows Hit Multi-Month Highs – Details The on-chain economics he outlined are unambiguous. Protocol usage would begin burning UNI; Unichain sequencer revenue would be directed to the same burn sink; and the treasury would immediately destroy 100 million UNI to account for fees that “could have been burned if fees were turned on at token launch.” Adams also described new “protocol fee discount auctions” to improve LP outcomes and internalize MEV, and an “aggregator hooks” architecture in v4 that would let the protocol capture fees sourced from external liquidity. In parallel, Uniswap Labs would stop charging fees on its interface, wallet, and API to push distribution and adoption, while Uniswap Foundation staff move to Labs under a growth mandate funded by the treasury. The net effect is a consolidation: Uniswap’s development, growth and fee policy would be operated under a single, explicitly token-aligned structure, with governance retaining control. Price action reflected Ki Young Ju’s comment. UNI spiked to multi-week highs as coverage spread. In early European trading hours, UNI showed a one-day gain near 30% while many majors treaded water, underscoring UNI’s idiosyncratic governance-driven rally. Beyond headline burns, the crux is whether the economic flywheel can be sustained without degrading liquidity provider economics. Historically, Uniswap governance has wrestled with “fee switch” design trade-offs and the risk of disintermediating LPs or pushing order flow elsewhere. Related Reading: Samourai Wallet Co-Founder Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison For Money Laundering Adams argued this blueprint is different because fee proceeds are not distributed as passive yield but are instead destroyed to concentrate value into the remaining float, while discount auctions and MEV internalization are meant to keep LPs competitive on net execution. The full rationale and parameterization—fee rates, split between pools, cadence for auctions, and the exact mechanics of the burn—are laid out in the governance post now in “Requests for Comment,” with implementation subject to the usual forum review and on-chain governance process. Adams cast the proposal as an existential scaling step: “I believe Uniswap protocol can be the primary place tokens are traded. This proposal sets the stage for the next decade of its growth […] Uniswap will ship relentlessly over the coming years and supercharge the ecosystem of developers, LPs, and traders,” he wrote. According to estimates by MegaETH Labs member BREAD, if Uniswap were to modify its standard 0.3% trading fee so that 0.25% is allocated to liquidity providers and 0.05% directed toward UNI buybacks, the protocol could channel roughly $38 million into monthly repurchases. This projection is based on an annualized fee revenue of approximately $2.8 billion and would position Uniswap’s buyback capacity slightly above PUMP’s $35 million pace, yet still below HYPE’s $95 million benchmark. At press time, UNI traded at $8.609. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A crypto analyst known as Pumpius has issued a bold warning on social media platform X, declaring that a massive liquidity wave is about to sweep through global markets, and XRP could be the key asset positioned to capture it.  His post, shared alongside a chart of the US national debt now above $38 trillion, argues that a combination of government stimulus, monetary easing, and corporate spending is about to unleash a surge of capital unlike anything seen since the 2020 pandemic. Liquidity Flood And The Return Of Stimulus Spending In his analysis, Pumpius highlighted that the United States government is preparing to inject over $400 billion in new stimulus payments, and this is going to be the first direct round of such spending since 2021. This comes at a time when the Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates despite inflation still sitting above 3% and labor market data showing signs of cooling.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Reach $1,000 By End Of 2025? Rumor Mills Are On Fire With BlackRock Speculations A similar setup in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic led to an enormous wave of liquidity that lifted both traditional and crypto markets to record highs. Now, President Donald Trump has vowed to provide each American a $2,000 dividend to be distributed from what he said was tariff revenue.  The chart shown below illustrates a notable connection vividly: each major stimulus injection, from the $270 billion to $410 billion rounds, coincided with sharp jumps in the national debt and subsequent market expansions. With total US debt now projected to exceed $38 trillion, Pumpius believes another round of liquidity growth is close. The analyst went on to point out that this time, the liquidity wave is not just based on government spending but also on private-sector investment on an extraordinary scale.  The so-called Magnificent 7 technology companies (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla) are collectively pouring over $100 billion every quarter into artificial intelligence infrastructure.  XRP Positioned As The Bridge For Global Capital Flow According to Pumpius, all this incoming liquidity needs a bridge, an asset capable of settling large-value transactions instantly across borders. He described XRP as the only digital asset designed precisely for this purpose, built for institutional-grade, real-time settlement and capable of handling global capital flows efficiently.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Decouple From Bitcoin, Here’s What Would Happen Ripple’s technology already provides the financial infrastructure necessary to connect banks, fintechs, and payment systems that will need to move funds quickly as liquidity expands. “The math is simple,” he said. “The liquidity is coming. The rails are ready. Own XRP or be left behind,” he concluded. XRP is one of the top-traded digital assets by volume, and market participants are watching closely to see how the cryptocurrency’s price action plays out.  Ripple, its parent technology company, has been making different partnership moves and company acquisitions to expand its reach. This is expected to hopefully boost XRP’s adoption on a global scale and, in turn, its price growth. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.45, down by 1.4% in the past 24 hours.
