Some early Bitcoin supporters and crypto investors are refocusing on privacy coin Zcash, as its privacy features are closer to the original ideals. In the past month, it has risen by about 50%, and last year it rose by 1,140%; its market cap is approximately $8.9 billion. DCG has listed it as one of its largest holdings, and Grayscale has applied to convert its trust into an ETF. However, its shielded addresses can hide the parties and amounts involved in transactions, which may trigger misuse and regulatory disputes.

CryptoWorld News reports that prediction markets show that XBIT DEX traders currently believe there is only a 36% chance that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will return to normal before the end of June.

ME News reports that the Dark Side of the Moon and Tsinghua University proposed Prefill-as-a-Service on arXiv, enabling the pre-filling stage of large model inference to run across data centers. By using a hybrid attention model, they significantly reduce KV cache throughput, allowing the cache to be transmitted over Ethernet and returned to the local cluster for decoding. The PrfaaS architecture builds an independent prefill cluster that only routes requests for long contexts that miss, while short requests stay on the local PD; it also introduces length threshold routing and bandwidth-aware scheduling. In tests with a 1T parameter hybrid model, throughput increased by 54% compared to homogeneous PD, and by 32% compared to naive heterogeneous setups.

CryptoWorld News reports that this round of market decline has triggered the largest liquidation across the entire network, involving a $47.2 million position held by two whales, with losses far exceeding those of “liquidation veteran” Magi. The specific details are as follows: Magi’s ETH long position was liquidated again, with 3,520 ETH, totaling $7.07 million—his account was nearly wiped out. On the BTC long side, whale 0xaea was liquidated twice, with a total of 208 BTC long positions (worth about $15.3 million), incurring a loss of approximately $270,000. The largest single liquidation across the entire network was by whale 0x76d, who manually closed positions four times in succession before reaching the liquidation price; he stopped out a total of 497 BTC long positions (worth about $31.9 million), with a loss of approximately $460,000.

Piper Sandler states that the optimism about the US and Iran reaching an agreement is unfounded, as the Strait of Hormuz may be closed on a large scale in the coming months, and oil prices could hit new highs this summer. Shipping is difficult to recover to 50% of pre-war levels, and supply shortages are driving up energy prices. The US airstrikes on Iran and Iran's warning about Strait passage will come at a cost, increasing market uncertainty. Even if an opening agreement is reached, global crude oil transportation will still take several months to a year to recover, and oil price fluctuations will persist.
