Meanwhile, privacy coins are making a dramatic comeback with Zcash overtaking Monero in market cap for the first time ever, and Arthur Hayes predicting massive price targets. We'll also examine the DeFi crisis that's shaking the ecosystem with Stream Finance halting operations after a ninety-three million dollar loss and the massive Balancer exploit that drained one hundred twenty-eight million across multiple chains. Plus, major corporate moves from Ripple acquiring Palisade to strengthen custody offerings, and regulatory developments including France's controversial wealth tax targeting crypto holders. Join us as we unpack what's driving today's market volatility and what it means for the future of digital assets.
