On May 12, Grayscale submitted an application to convert its Zcash Trust into a spot ETF, which, if approved, would become the world's first spot ETF for a privacy coin. Meanwhile, the U.S. SEC has previously concluded its long-term review of privacy coins without taking enforcement action, clearing a significant regulatory hurdle.

On May 12, AI laboratory Dolphin tweeted that the Dolphin Network utilizes a Peer-to-Pool architecture to repurpose idle GPUs, with each model running in a GPU pool and tasks randomly assigned to nodes, without direct buyer-seller binding. Nodes receive POD token rewards from the protocol treasury based solely on the number of inference tokens processed; users can purchase credits directly from the protocol, supporting payments in POD, ETH, BTC, USDC, XMR, and ZEC. All protocol revenue will be used for market buybacks of POD, directly offsetting inflation. For instance, for Qwen 3.6 35B, Dolphin charges users $0.70 per million tokens (lower than OpenRouter's $1), pays nodes $0.50, resulting in a net buyback of $0.20. POD holders can stake into the xPOD treasury to receive automatic reinvestment dividends, daily inference quotas, and ecosystem subscription benefits. Node operators must stake forfeitable POD bonds equivalent to four weeks of income, with penalties for cheating resulting in corresponding deductions. The reward multiplier mechanism can reach up to 2 times.

On May 12, Grayscale submitted an application for a Zcash spot ETF, converting its existing Zcash trust into a spot product, making it the first privacy coin ETF seeking to be listed in the United States. Meanwhile, Multicoin Capital revealed that it has been accumulating ZEC since February, with co-founder Tushar Jain linking the investment logic to the proposed wealth tax legislation in the U.S., believing that the government's expansion of monitoring private financial holdings will drive structural demand for assets that provide mathematical privacy from regulation. However, this application has raised challenges regarding institutional custody: approximately 30% of Zcash's supply is located in shielded address pools, the highest in history, but ETF custody almost necessarily requires the use of transparent address pools to meet auditing and balance proof requirements. Previously, the SEC concluded its long-term review of Zcash in January 2026 without taking enforcement action, significantly reducing regulatory uncertainty.

On May 12, Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, stated in a post this morning that Bitcoin has not fulfilled its expected role as a safe haven asset. Reasons include its lack of privacy, the possibility of transactions being monitored or restricted, and its high correlation with tech stocks, which often leads investors to sell Bitcoin for liquidity when other assets are under pressure. Additionally, the relatively small market size of Bitcoin makes it more susceptible to influence, while gold, due to its broader ownership and more established historical status, continues to hold a central position in the global financial system.
