Zcash gets a Washington lobbyist to push crypto policy

A Zcash-focused advocacy group has filed to lobby in Washington, stepping up the privacy-oriented cryptocurrency ecosystems efforts to shape US policy on digital assets.　　Pretty Good Policy for Zcash (PGPZ) filed a lobbying registration effective on Oct. 1, naming executive director Divij Pandya as its sole lobbyist. The registration lists the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and two digital asset tax proposals as among its current and anticipated lobbying issues.　　PGPZ was launched in June this year, growing out of Pretty Good Policy for Crypto, which was launched in 2022 by Electric Coin Co. The initiative hosted Washington policy roundtables and organized a congressional briefing on encryption technologies in 2023.　　PGPZ founder and chief policy and regulatory officer of ZODL, Paul Brigner, said the goal is to “make sure Zcash has serious, organized, and credible policy engagement in Washington.”　　“Policymakers are making decisions that will affect whether privacy-preserving digital cash can exist, be used lawfully, and serve the public interest. PGPZ is about ensuring Zcash is understood, represented, and defended in those conversations,” he said.　　In August, the Zcash Community Grants approved a $750,000 grant to fund PGPZs first year of work.　　Related: Zcash targets November of NU7 mainnet upgrade with 25-second blocks

El Salvadors $666 million Bitcoin reserve survives IMF review

El Salvador secured access to $138 million from the IMF while recommitting to limits on further state Bitcoin accumulation.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $86,483.96 24-hour change: up 2.02% Loading price history… 24H Up 2.02% 7D Up 2.33% 30D Up 8.55%　　The International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the second and third reviews of the countrys $1.4 billion loan program on Oct. 1, allowing an immediate disbursement equivalent to SDR 101.96 million, or $138 million. The board also granted waivers for unmet performance criteria tied to Bitcoin accumulation after authorities took corrective measures and renewed their commitments.　　Those waivers keep financing flowing despite earlier breaches, while leaving the programs direction on Bitcoin unchanged. The IMF said no further accumulation is envisaged beyond documented donations, preserving a constraint that prevents the government from resuming publicly funded purchases under the program.　　El Salvador currently holds about 7,794.37 Bitcoin valued at roughly $666.1 million. The size of that reserve has continued to draw attention because additions to government-linked wallets appear inconsistent with the IMF agreement.　　The Fund has previously distinguished between Bitcoin acquired with public money and coins received through documented donations. That distinction remains central after the latest review: reserve balances can still rise without signaling that

He said STRC trades near $99.4, a recovery he admitted surprised him.　　MicroStrategy Stretch (STRC) Stock. Soure: TradingView　　He credited Strategys weekly STRC buybacks and Bitcoins rally for the move. Schiff said that rally may have restored some confidence in the stock or triggered short covering.　　The preferred stock had sunk to about $75 earlier this year, which CEO Phong Le blamed on unexpected leverage.　　Referring to Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, Schiff argued that the rebound has not reopened Strategys key funding route.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　“There‘s no way that he’s going to be able to start selling more Stretch; that means hes not going to be able to raise money to really start buying more Bitcoin,” Schiff said.　　He added that Strategy has raised enough cash to keep paying STRC dividends a little longer before it runs out.

Ethereums past outflow charts can change when more exchange wallets are identified

Coin Metrics has rebuilt Ethereums historical Standard Flow Metrics, raising a timing problem for tests that treat exchange outflows as a trading signal.　　Related Asset Ethereum #2 ETH · $2,703.84 24-hour change: up 0.70% Loading price history… 24H Up 0.70% 7D Up 0.74% 30D Up 10.24%　　The crypto data providers Oct. 1 notice says it recomputed Ethereum Standard Flow Metrics from the networks first block using its most up-to-date information as part of its Ethereum Point-in-Time release. The affected scope is all ETH Flow Metrics at daily and hourly frequencies, with corrected history available for backfilling.　　That creates a practical distinction for investment research. A chart downloaded today can describe past flows using knowledge acquired later. A backtest, which replays a trading rule through historical data, needs the information available when each decision would have occurred. Those are different information sets, even when their observations carry the same dates.　　Related Company Coin Metrics Cryptoasset market and network data APIs, analytics, and research　　The notice supplies no revision amounts or ETH strategy comparison.
