Maelstrom expands Bitcoin privacy grants after selling its full Zcash position
Maelstrom, the family office of BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, said two of the four developers funded under its Bitcoin Grant Program are now working full-time on privacy tools designed to make Bitcoin transactions harder to trace. The program has paid monthly Bitcoin installments on 12-month contracts since October 2024 and limits grant stacking to $400,000 per year. The update follows Hayes confirming Maelstrom has exited its entire Zcash (ZEC) holding, citing a risk tied to Zcash's Orchard pool.

Bitcoin bottom still unclear as M2 ratio and U.S. ETF outflows stay bearish
Bitcoin (BTC) has remained range-bound between $59,000 and $63,000, with rebound momentum still limited. The BTC market-cap-to-global M2 ratio stands at 0.94%, and the analysis suggests it may need to drop further into prior bottom zones before a durable recovery forms. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen $5.568 billion in outflows since May 15, alongside a Coinbase Premium Index reading of -0.07 and rising exchange reserves.

Zcash rebounds after June 5 dip near $250 as spot flows turn positive and ZEC tests $500
Zcash (ZEC) drew fresh attention after rebounding from a low near $250 on June 5 to as high as $470 in early trading, as spot demand shifted back toward net buying. Spot netflow swung from net selling of $17.23 million three days ago to net buying of $118.13 million over the past day, while June 9 showed $99,000 in total buys in the first eight hours. Even with improving sentiment and higher hashrate, a negative perpetuals funding rate of about -0.0700% suggests downside risk could still cap a push toward $500.
