Grayscale Research is warning that artificial intelligence may heighten financial surveillance risks on transparent blockchains by improving the ability to link transactions with off-chain data and de-anonymize addresses. This dynamic builds on past waves of privacy concerns tied to technological shifts, including the 1970s digitization of financial records and the 1990s rise of the internet. Grayscale Research says a third wave is underway, driven by AI tools that could make blockchain address labeling more effective and widespread. Source: Grayscale Bitcoin (BTC) transactions are visible by default on the public ledger, a risk noted in its white paper. In contrast, Zcash (ZEC) offers shielded transactions that use zero-knowledge cryptography to hide sender and receiver addresses along with transfer amounts, functioning like physical cash. Zach Pandl, Grayscale Head of Research, is stating the case for Zcash in the new AI era. “We expect AI to create new threats ...

The dog-themed cryptocurrency seems to be facing some resistance at the $0.0000046-$0.000005 price level. Although the asset has seen a near 7% price rally in the monthly charts, SHIB is still struggling to overcome its resistance level. Let’s discuss if the once dominating cryptocurrency is done for, or if it can make a comeback. Source: CoinGecko Is Shiba Inu Done For After Its Latest Price Crash?

XRP is showing growing signs of weakness from a technical perspective, even as whales moved $251.8 million of the asset. Notably, the cryptocurrency is currently settling around the $2.50 level after experiencing significant short-term capital outflows. Now, an outlook by prominent cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez suggests that XRP could find support at $2. In an X post on October 31, Martinez noted that XRP’s daily chart has formed a descending pattern, characterized by lower highs and lower lows, indicating a continuation of the downtrend.

Hedera (HBAR) climbed to $0.21 on October 28 after surging more than 16% in 24 hours, lifting its market cap from $7.6 billion to $8.84 billion and adding over $1 billion in a single day.  HBAR’s rally coincides with a landmark development for institutional adoption: Nasdaq has posted the official listing circular for the Canary HBAR ETF (Ticker: HBR), which begins trading today.

Finbold turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to project an average Bitcoin (BTC) price target for the end of 2025 following the news that Mt. Gox, a defunct cryptocurrency exchange, would postpone repayments to its creditors by another year.  Entities associated with Mt. Gox still control around 34,689 BTC, valued at around $3.98 billion as of the time of writing, according to Arkham . While the figure is just a quarter of the 142,000 BTC supply the exchange held in mid-2024, analysts are still wondering how the delay could affect Bitcoin’s price in the following months, now that a dump is no longer in consideration. BTC price prediction  According to OpenAI’s leading model, ChatGPT-5, Bitcoin could trade around $150,000 by the end of 2025, assuming the Mt. Gox repayment delay can relieve selling pressure and the market sentiment can remain neutral in the coming months. A more bull case, however, could see the asset trading at $200,000, provided inst...
