The block will be mined using Zcash's Proof-of-Work algorithm - Equihash. Miners use a series of collision-finding stages to construct valid solutions, securing the network through computational work. With parameters n = 200 and k = 9, Equihash operates on 200-bit values

Bitcoin Reclaims $83,500 One-Week High as Zcash Surges 13% on NU7 Upgrade Date Bitcoin climbed to a one-week high near $83,500 on Wednesday, October 21, recovering from Tuesday's dip toward $81,000 and extending a streak of more than 33 consecutive daily closes above $80,000. The move was supported by a rebound in Asian technology stocks, with South Korea's Kospi gaining 3.7% and Taiwan's Taiex rising 1.4%, along with roughly 1% gains in Nasdaq 100 futures. On Binance Spot, BTC briefly reached $83,317, up 2.19% over 24 hours on a 13.13% increase in volume, while exchanges recorded net inflows of 3,807 BTC. Bitcoin options open interest rose 1.57% to $38.49 billion, with calls making up 59% of outstanding positions and Deribit's October 30 $95,000 calls leading volume.

Grayscale Launches In-Kind Investing Across 10 Crypto Funds With Minimums Up to $364,800 Grayscale on October 21 opened in-kind subscription investing across 10 of its crypto investment products, allowing eligible investors to contribute cryptocurrency tokens directly in exchange for fund shares without first liquidating their holdings into cash. The move covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, Avalanche, Chainlink, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Zcash. Minimum contribution thresholds range from $80,300 to $364,800 depending on the fund, meaning the service is aimed squarely at institutional and high-net-worth investors. The in-kind mechanism is significant because it lets holders transfer appreciated crypto positions into a fund structure without triggering a taxable sale event. The SEC approved in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto exchange-traded products in July 2025, and Grayscale's expansion reflects the industry moving to fully implement that framework across a broader range of assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bitcoin Climbs Back Above $83,000 While Zcash Surges 13% on NU7 Upgrade News Bitcoin recovered to $83,317 on Tuesday, rising 2.19% as trading volume grew 13.13% and exchanges recorded net inflows of 3,807 BTC. The move reclaimed the $83,000 level after a period of consolidation in the $82,000 to $83,000 range following a retreat from highs above $87,000, though the price remains nearly 33% below its 2025 peak. Analysts are watching $84,200 as the next meaningful resistance and $82,000 as the key support level heading into the Federal Reserve's October 27-28 meeting. Zcash was the standout performer, jumping roughly 12% to around $1,270 to $1,290 on Binance Spot and up more than 148% year-to-date. The catalyst was a developer announcement targeting November 5 for the NU7 protocol upgrade, which aims to cut block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. Short liquidations across three exchanges totaled $780,000 in a single one-hour window as ZEC spiked.
