According to CoinDesk, Zcash developers are integrating part of the proposed scaling upgrade code, Tachyon, into the software already in use to prepare for a large number of privacy transactions in the future. This component is named Udon, originally developed as part of Project Tachyon.According to Sean Bowe, the head of Project Tachyon, Udon was released on Monday to Zakura Common, which is a cryptographic library shared by Zakura and other Zcash projects. Common is responsible for handling some of the heavy mathematical computations behind creating and verifying privacy transactions, with Zakura being jointly developed by Bowe's team and Dev Ojha's Valar Group.Zcash wallets need to prove the validity of a privacy payment without disclosing the payer, payee, or amount, and the computers running the network subsequently verify that proof. According to CoinDesk's report in August, previous improvements to Common have reduced the time to create a privacy transaction from over 3 seconds to under 200 milliseconds in some tests.If privacy payments become more common, these computers will need to handle more data. Udon brings some of the computational requirements for the proposed scaling upgrade of Tachyon into Common, allowing developers to continue building on the already accelerated code. Udon has been released as software, but the upgrade has not yet been activated on Zcash.Bowe and Ojha's long-term goal is to exceed 50,000 payments per second. At this rate, they estimate that current cryptography will allow each Zcash node to receive over 500 MB of data per second.

According to Cointelegraph, the European Central Bank (ECB) has announced the launch of a new round of applications for the digital euro innovation platform, inviting fintech companies, payment institutions, and other organizations to explore AI agents participating in digital euro payments.The project will be divided into two parts: practical testing and future application seminars. The practical testing will take place from January to June 2027, where participants will develop prototypes for electronic receipts, multi-party transactions, conditional payments, and more.The seminars will explore AI payments, micropayments, machine-to-machine transactions, and the application of the digital euro in public services. In addition, the ECB has selected 36 banks and payment institutions, including Revolut, Stripe, and Deutsche Bank, to participate in another 12-month digital euro pilot, which is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2027. The final issuance of the digital euro still requires EU legislation and subsequent decisions from the ECB.

According to Gate Europe CEO Dr. Giovanni Cunti's latest LinkedIn post, global business relies on efficient cross-border capital flows, but traditional international payments still face challenges such as multiple intermediaries, currency exchange, and limited operational efficiency.Dr. Giovanni Cunti emphasized, "Digital assets are opening up new possibilities for businesses in cross-market payments and value flows." He pointed out that stablecoins and blockchain-based payment networks can provide faster settlement speeds, higher transparency, and more flexible cross-border transaction capabilities. Beyond everyday payments, their application scenarios are rapidly expanding to areas such as vendor settlements, multinational payroll distribution, treasury management, and global value transfer.As this ecosystem continues to grow, a clear and defined regulatory framework is crucial. Europe is leading this transformation through MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), which provides a unified standard for crypto asset services across the EU region. Dr. Giovanni Cunti further noted that in the long run, the value of digital assets will transcend asset trading itself, further deeply integrating into the real economy and the daily operations of global enterprises. Relying on the compliance foundation of the MiCA and Payment Institution (PI) dual licensing system, Gate Europe is deeply integrating digital asset services with traditional payment capabilities, continuously exploring a new paradigm of a highly efficient and closely connected global economy empowered by digital assets.

Wintermute posted that, on the macro front, risk assets continued to rise last week. Even with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield breaking above 5%, a high not seen since 2007, there was no significant risk-averse sentiment in the market. Crypto assets led the way, with altcoins rising approximately 5%, followed closely by BTC, and the Nasdaq also recorded gains, while long-term U.S. Treasuries performed the weakest.The report believes that oil prices will be a key factor influencing the interest rate hike expectations for October. Currently, oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz remains significantly below pre-conflict levels, with Brent crude prices nearing $103 per barrel. If oil prices continue to stay around or above $100 per barrel, market expectations for another rate hike in October may remain high, at which point the core issue will shift to whether risk assets can absorb further rate hikes in the short term while bonds remain under pressure.In the crypto market, BTC last week first stood above the 50-week moving average on a weekly basis, with the current level of $82,500 being the upper boundary of the previous consolidation range, which is also a key position to watch this week; if this level can stabilize, it may become the foundation for the previous breakout; otherwise, a drop below this level will reignite concerns about the validity of the breakout. Meanwhile, BTC's market share has increased, the breadth of altcoin gains is at a relatively high level, and institutional options trading continues to increase with low Delta bullish options and call spreads being added for year-end positioning.
