Zcash Mining Revenue Beats Bitcoin, but Competition Is Rising

Zcash mining revenue is about 2x higher per machine.Revenue per MWh is roughly 4x Bitcoins.Zcash mining activity has increased more than 2.5x in 2026.Rising computing power is already squeezing individual miners.  Zcash has become unusually lucrative for miners after ZECs price surge, with Grayscale Research estimating substantially higher revenue per machine and unit of electricity than Bitcoin, although rapidly rising network competition is already testing how long that advantage can last.  Zcash beats Bitcoin at the machine level  Bitcoin remains the much larger mining economy.  Its miners collectively generate roughly $35 million in daily revenue, compared with about $2 million across the Zcash network,according to Grayscale Research.  The comparison changes when revenue is measured at the level of an individual machine or its electricity consumption:Revenue per machine:Zcash is roughly 2x higher than Bitcoin.Revenue per MWh:Zcash generates about 4x Bitcoins revenue.Network mining activity:Zcash has increased more than 2.5x since the start of 2026.Daily network revenue:Zcash generates about $2 million versus Bitcoins $35 million.  Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl attributes much of the difference to ZEC‘s strong price performance. A higher token price raises the dollar value of the block rewards miners receive even before anything changes in the network’s underlying reward schedule.  The result has been a powerful

13.6K BTC flush resets leverage – But Bitcoins rally to $82k has THIS hurdle

The probability that the Federal target rate could be bumped up by 25 bps to 375-400 bps was increasing by the day. The FedWatch tool showed a probability of a rate hike at 87.3%.  This meant that the chances of a bearish Bitcoin [BTC] price reaction are also higher. In a CryptoQuant analysis, XWIN Japan pointed out that BTC was between persistent, long-term buyers and short-term caution.

Zcash Mining Highly Profitable: Grayscale Says Rewards Beat Bitcoin 2x

Key TakeawaysGrayscale estimates Zcash rewards at twice Bitcoins daily rewards per rig.Zcash mining activity has increased more than 2.5 times this year.Electricity, equipment, and operating costs shape actual miner profits.  Grayscale Details Zcashs Mining Advantage  Zcash miners can earn roughly twice the daily rewards per machine compared with Bitcoin miners under Grayscale‘s latest estimates. Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl outlined the comparison in a Sept. 11 analysis, linking stronger token prices to higher mining rewards. The crypto asset manager estimates that Zcash’s advantage reaches roughly four times Bitcoins rewards per megawatt-hour of electricity.  Pandl said:  “At current valuations, Zcash mining can be highly profitable. This is encouraging more mining activity which in turn supports network security.”  Both networks use proof-of-work mining, a process in which specialized computers compete to earn rewards and add blocks of transactions. Grayscale argues that higher Zcash prices encourage more computing power to join the network, strengthening its security. The firm suggests that this improvement may help sustain higher prices, describing a potential reinforcing relationship. Zcash mining activity has grown to more than 2.5 times its level at the start of the year, according to Grayscale.  Electricity and Equipment Shape Mining Returns  Grayscale‘s comparison uses the Bitmain S23 Hydro for Bitcoin and

Thailand‘s stablecoin proposal would block transfers to other people’s wallets

Thailands Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed a same-owner requirement for stablecoin transfers that would sharply narrow how customers can move tokens such as USDT through licensed crypto firms. The measure remains at the consultation stage and is not yet an operative rule.  Under the SEC Board-approved Sept. 3 consultation principles, stablecoins entering a customer account at a digital asset operator would have to come from an account or wallet verified as belonging to that customer. Withdrawals would likewise have to go to an account or wallet verified as the customers own.  The consequence is explicit: a stablecoin deposit from another person‘s account, or a withdrawal to another person’s account, would be prohibited.  Related Asset Tether USDT · Stablecoin  How the proposed ownership gate would work  As drafted, the restriction would stop a customer from using a Thai SEC-supervised platform to receive a transfer from someone else‘s wallet or to send stablecoins to another person’s wallet. Its reach is limited to transfers conducted through supervised digital asset operators, rather than peer-to-peer transfers that take place entirely outside those firms.  The proposal would also require stablecoin transfer values to be consistent with a customers income source and financial position. Inbound and outbound transfers would each be capped

India‘s Demat 2.0 Could Change Bond Tokenization: Here’s How It Works

The country has taken a major step toward bringing tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) into its mainstream financial system.  The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have launched a pilot infrastructure for issuing, holding, trading, and settling corporate bonds as digital tokens.  Called Demat 2.0, the model is being integrated directly into the nations existing regulated securities market, unlike many tokenization experiments built on standalone blockchain platforms.  $116M Tokenized and Counting  India‘s approach allows corporate bonds to be created natively on a distributed ledger maintained by market infrastructure institutions, with ownership records held by the country’s statutory depositories. As written on Demat 2.0‘s explanatory page, the system is connected to the RBI’s wholesale digital rupee through its Unified Market Interface. This allows the securities and cash legs of a transaction to settle at the same time.  This so-called atomic delivery-versus-payment model eliminates the period previously needed when one party has transferred an asset while still waiting for the other side to complete the payment. The statement also noted that three companies have already issued tokenized bonds worth a total of ₹1,025 crore (or $116 million).  REC Limited led the charge, becoming the first issuer on September 7, raising ₹500
