Bankless published an article discussing the controversy surrounding excess development funding for Zcash, noting that the size of the Zcash development grant pool has continued to expand, with its current estimated net value reaching approximately $125 million—far exceeding immediate expenditure needs. Zcash co-founder and current head of Tachyon, Sean Bowe, has introduced a proposal recommending the termination of the 8% block reward currently allocated to ZCG during a future network upgrade. On the development funding mechanism, the community has so far put forward four proposals, which respectively involve ending ZCG grants, eliminating the entire development fund allocation system, or gradually reducing the allocation rate to zero. Proponents argue that the current mechanism causes funds to continuously accumulate as ZEC prices rise, while ZCG remains outside direct control by token holders. Opponents, however, worry that scaling back development funding without viable alternatives could hinder the protocol’s ongoing development and maintenance. All proposals remain under discussion and have not yet been finalized.

Odaily reports, according to Bloomberg, Anthropic warned in its IPO-related filings that its public advocacy for AI safety regulation and related remarks by executives could expose the company to risks such as pressure from the Trump administration and selective scrutiny. This risk is linked to multiple conflicts between the company and the Trump administration, including a dispute triggered by its demand to set safety restrictions on the use of its AI technology by the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as disagreements over the safety of the Mythos model and export controls.Anthropic also warned that even if other similarly situated companies are not treated the same way, Anthropic could still become a targeted focus of specific Trump administration departments. Future export restrictions and cybersecurity or biosecurity incidents triggered by AI models could all affect its product deployment, international expansion, and business growth. Anthropic also acknowledged that once the regulatory measures it advocates are implemented, they could also increase compliance costs, restrict product development and release, and slow its own growth.

The Federal Reserve is about to announce its interest rate decision, after which Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will hold a press conference. Markets expect the Fed to keep the benchmark rate unchanged in the 3.75%–4% range, with investors focused on three key signals: first, whether three or more voting members dissent from holding rates steady and advocate for a hike; second, how Warsh assesses the recent easing of financial conditions and the pullback in U.S. Treasury yields; third, what he says about two consecutive months of above-expectation inflation data, oil prices near $100, and record-high U.S. diesel prices.If more officials signal a hawkish tilt, or if Warsh views looser financial conditions as exacerbating inflationary pressure, market expectations for future rate hikes could intensify, potentially lending support to the dollar index while weighing on risk assets such as Bitcoin. Ahead of the decision, Bitcoin stood at $81,411, up more than 2% over 24 hours; Ethereum, SOL, and XRP also posted gains of over 2% over the same period. (CoinDesk)
XRP Ledger developers are testing a new feature that would allow the creation of blockchain accounts with a zero initial balance, with existing accounts covering the reserve requirement for new accounts, in order to lower the funding barrier for payment applications and automated software to create wallets at scale.The proposal was submitted on October 15 as the SponsoredAccountCreate transaction proposal. Under current XRP Ledger rules, each account must hold at least 1 XRP as a reserve, meaning that creating 100,000 separate accounts would require locking up 100,000 XRP. The new proposal would have a sponsoring account cover this reserve requirement, and a broader fee-sponsorship mechanism in the future could also allow applications to pay transaction fees on behalf of users, though the network's overall reserve requirement would not be eliminated as a result.The feature is expected to lower the barrier to use for scenarios such as embedded wallets, RLUSD stablecoin payments, and automated payments by AI agents. However, the relevant code is still under review, and the sponsorship mechanism it relies on has not yet launched on mainnet. As of October 19, the mechanism had received only 11 of the 35 required validator votes, still short of the 29 votes needed for approval. (CoinDesk)
