Odaily reports: Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss said the current market hype around privacy coin Zcash is reminiscent of the 2019 crypto market, when Bitcoin had just emerged from the 2018 bear market and market attention shifted toward institutional infrastructure and custody.Zcash launched in 2016 and uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable private transactions. It has long faced regulatory scrutiny, and some exchanges have delisted it. According to CoinGecko data, the price of ZEC rose from about $511 in January 2026 to $1,335.51 on September 16.

: Crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX has announced it will shut down, with trading scheduled to conclude on September 23. Founded in 2014 by Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed, BitMEX made the decision after a strategic review by its parent company, HDR Global Trading. BitMEX played a pioneering role in making perpetual contracts a key product in digital asset derivatives trading. Data from CryptoQuant shows that its Bitcoin futures daily trading volume began to decline around May 2021 and has failed to recover to its peak daily range of $1 billion to $5 billion seen in 2020. Restructuring advisor Roshan Dharia stated that mid-tier centralized exchanges face structural pressures, with liquidity increasingly concentrating on larger platforms and compliance costs rising. He noted that the top five platforms are currently estimated to control 80% of global spot trading volume, while mid-tier and regional exchanges are seeing narrowing profit margins and lack clear paths to scale. According to CoinGecko data, BitMEX ranked ninth among derivatives exchanges in August 2023, holding a 0.9% market share. By 2025, it was no longer among the top ten perpetual contract exchanges. Over the same period, these platforms saw their annual perpetual contract trading volume grow by 47.4%, reaching $86.2 trillion.
in its Q2 2026 Security and Compliance Report, Hacken stated that institutional investors are expanding their due diligence scope from smart contract audits to continuous monitoring, signer control, and incident response preparedness. Among the 1,427 projects it tracked, only 9% had third-party monitoring, and 4% had monitoring, active bug bounties, and security audits simultaneously. The report shows that of the approximately $764 million stolen in Q2, 88.3% involved compromised keys, signers, and infrastructure.Hacken noted that 14 projects attacked in Q2 had previously completed audits, but most of the losses originated from areas outside the scope of traditional smart contract reviews. The report states that the affected components included signing devices, cross-chain bridge validators, backend infrastructure, admin keys, and deprecated but still active old contracts. The sample covered 1,427 projects with a market cap exceeding $1 million, listed among the top 50 centralized exchanges on the CoinGecko Trust Score, excluding wrapped assets, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets.
