Rhea Finance announced on the X platform that ZcashFi, launched by RHEA, is now live. The Zcash native community, zashi_app users, and ZEC holders can now lend and trade: For lending, users can access multi-chain yield opportunities; natively supplying ZEC on Zcash can earn up to 2% annualized yield (APY); borrowing stablecoins or other assets on any RHEA-supported chain can achieve a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 60%; and earning yield across chains without bridging. For trading, users can participate directly on the official platform using the zashi app or any other supported wallet; this trading feature will be available within 24 hours.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin, a major trader who shorted ASTER after CZ posted his holdings is currently facing liquidation risk. This trader holds $237 million worth of long positions in crypto assets, including 57,100 ETH ($161 million), 38.82 million XRP ($69.98 million), and 230,000 HYPE ($5.19 million), with a current unrealized loss of $40.3 million. His ETH long position's liquidation price is $2,714, only about $100 away from the current market price of around $2,800. Previously, when the price fell to $2,623, his ETH long position was only $28 away from the liquidation price of $2,595, but was temporarily out of danger due to a market rebound.

JPMorgan analysts reiterated their prediction that the stablecoin market will not reach a trillion-dollar mark in the coming years, and its growth will likely be in line with, rather than significantly surpass, the broader cryptocurrency market. Their report noted that the stablecoin market has expanded by approximately $100 billion this year, surpassing the $300 billion mark, with growth primarily concentrated in the two major stablecoins. This confirms their long-held view that stablecoin growth remains primarily driven by activity within the crypto ecosystem. This year alone, stablecoin holdings on derivatives exchanges increased by approximately $20 billion, driven by a surge in perpetual futures trading, and this activity remains the main driver of stablecoin supply growth. Therefore, in the coming years, the stablecoin market size is likely to continue growing in tandem with the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization, potentially reaching $500 billion to $600 billion by 2028, significantly lower than the most optimistic forecast of $2 trillion to $4 trillion.

Previously, he posted on the X platform that Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman had confirmed that the bipartisan cryptocurrency bill would be finalized in the Senate next month.
