Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues Zcash surpasses Bitcoin ideologically by preserving transaction anonymity with zk-SNARKs, unlike Bitcoin's transparent blockchain. Meanwhile, U.S. spot XRP ETFs saw a 16% increase in inflows in May, reaching a new 2026 monthly record of $94.71 million, signaling strong institutional interest. Additionally, corporate investor Strategy acquired 15,466 BTC worth over $1.2 billion, raising its total Bitcoin holdings to 834,335 BTC. These developments highlight growing institutional activity in privacy coins, XRP, and Bitcoin amid ongoing market volatility and upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve decisions.
