Zcash is a decentralized and open-source cryptocurrency that offers privacy and selective transparency of transactions. Zcash payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient, and amount of a transaction remain private.  Zcash is based on peer-reviewed cryptographic research, and built by a security-specialized engineering team on an open source platform based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase. Our improvement over Bitcoin is the addition of privacy. Zcash uses advanced cryptographic techniques, namely zero-knowledge proofs, to guarantee the validity of transactions without revealing additional information about them.  How Zcash works  Zcash encrypts the contents of shielded transactions. Since the payment information is encrypted, the protocol uses a novel cryptographic method to verify their validity.  Zcash uses a zero-knowledge proof construction called a zk-SNARK, developed by our team of experienced cryptographers based on recent breakthroughs in cryptography. These constructions allow the network to maintain a secure ledger of balances without disclosing the parties or amounts involved. Instead of publicly demonstrating spend-authority and transaction values, the transaction metadata is encrypted and zk-SNARKs are used to prove that nobody is cheating or stealing.  Zcash also enables users to send public payments which work similarly to Bitcoin. With the support for both shielded and transparent addresses, users can choose to send Zcash privately or publicly. Zcash payments sent from a shielded address to a transparent address reveal the received balance, while payments from a transparent address to a shielded address protect the receiving value.   Check out CoinBureau for guide on What is ZCash.

Zcash

Zcash is trending as it approaches its halving event, with the community actively discussing its potential for significant gains and its privacy features in light of increased regulatory scrutiny on crypto. Some are drawing comparisons to Bitcoin's early days, while others point to ZEC's shielded transactions as a key differentiator for institutional adoption.

Value flows to where liquidity and volume are most productive, based on protocol alignment.

Dow Crosses 47,000 For First Time, S&P 500 Touches New Record

Palantir Technologies’ shares were down nearly 5% in Friday’s midday trade after an internal army memo reportedly flagged “fundamental security” problems in a U.S. Army communications system that the company is working on.

Equity

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) and private defense technology company Anduril reportedly face serious cybersecurity concerns over their new battlefield communications system, after an internal U.S. Army memo flagged deep weaknesses and urged that the project be handled as “very high risk.”According to a Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/anduril-palantir-battlefield-communication-system-has-deep-flaws-army-memo-says-2025-10-03/">report</a>, the memo, drafted in September by Army Chief Technology Officer Gabrielle Chiulli,&nbsp;describes the NGC2 (Next Generation Command &amp; Control) prototype as riddled with structural flaws, including uncontrolled user data access and unassessed third-party code.&nbsp;Following the report,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PLTR">Palantir stock</a> traded 7% lower on Friday morning at the time of writing and was the top-trending equity ticker on Stocktwits. However, retail sentiment around the stock trended in the ‘bullish’ territory amid ‘normal’ message volume levels.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1608/204;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_03_at_2_35_36_PM_png_81b848c6c7.webp" alt="PLTR’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 2:35 p.m. ET on Oct. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="1608" height="204"><figcaption>PLTR’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 2:35 p.m. ET on Oct. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>However, according to a recent Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-03/palantir-rebuts-claims-of-security-flaws-after-stock-falls">report</a>, Palantir has refuted the claims, stating that the issues have already been rectified. “No vulnerabilities were found in the Palantir platform,” the company said.&nbsp;“The recent report reflects an outdated snapshot, not the current state of the program,” the company said, according to the report. “NGC2 is progressing through the normal process of iterative development. We find risks early, address them quickly, and harden the system before fielding.”Stocktwits users voiced support for the company, stating that&nbsp;NGC2 is merely a prototype.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Will__G/message/630944310</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/keegan365/message/630944671</stembedurl>According to the memo, NGC2 allows any authorized user to view all applications and data, irrespective of clearance or operational role. There is no auditing or logging of user actions, and the system lacks controls that distinguish access based on need.&nbsp;The report cited that the memo further warned about embedded third‑party software components that the Army never vetted. One module reportedly contains 25 high-severity flaws, while three more each harbor more than 200 vulnerabilities.&nbsp;In December 2024, the companies launched a new consortium&nbsp;to jointly bid for Pentagon contracts to solve the problems of data readiness and processing data at large scale for national security purposes.&nbsp;Palantir Technologies' stock has gained over 138% year-to-date and over 360% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/rumble-deal-with-perplexity-spurs-over-400-percent-surge-in-retail-investor-chatter-on-stocktwits/chCuV4tR3QO">Rumble’s Deal With Perplexity Spurs Over 400% Surge In Retail Investor Chatter On Stocktwits</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;Editor's Note: The story has been updated to reflect Palantir's response as reported by Bloomberg, the latest Stocktwits metrics, and the stock price movement.

Palantir Refutes Security Flaw Claims After Report Cites Internal Army Memo Exposing Risks In Battlefield Communication System

According to a Reuters report, a memo drafted in September by Army Chief Technology Officer Gabrielle Chiulli describes the Next Generation Command & Control prototype as riddled with structural flaws.

Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran on Friday reportedly said he will adjust his view on inflation only if a shock pushes rents “materially higher.”In an interview with&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-03/fed-s-miran-says-he-d-adjust-inflation-view-if-rents-turn-higher">Bloomberg</a> on Friday, Miran underscored that his opinion on the Fed’s monetary policy direction is not set in stone. At the September meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), when the central bank slashed the key rate by 25 basis points, Miran expressed dissent and voted for a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/default/equity/fed-cuts-rates-by-25-basis-points-september-fomc-meeting/chDGxvqRd6u">larger 50-bps cut</a>.“If something were to happen that were to tell me that that channel is invalidated, that there’s some shock that’s going to be pushing rents materially higher, the benign inflation forecast that I have would have to be adjusted as a result,” Miran said in the interview.While Miran was the sole dissenter during the September FOMC meeting, he stated that his projections for the Fed’s policy rate until the end of 2026 are not significantly different from those of the other committee members. “All that’s different is the fact that I want to get there a little bit faster,” he said, adding that a part of his job is to bring “out-of-consensus” ideas to the table, and he will continue to do so.In September, during the Senate Banking Committee’s confirmation hearing,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-fed-nominee-stephen-miran-says-not-asked-to-lower-interest-rates/chwdQcVRdYC">Miran stated that</a> the independence of monetary policy is critical for its success. When asked by Democratic Senator Andy Kim if Miran was asked to commit, either formally or informally, to vote in support of lower interest rates, he said “no.”He reiterated this in the interview on Friday, stating that he had not talked to President Donald Trump since his congratulatory call in September, post his Senate confirmation, and that the President had not asked him to take any specific monetary policy action.Meanwhile, U.S. equities gained in Friday morning’s trade. At the time of writing, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (SPY), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, was up 0.37%, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust</a> (QQQ) rose 0.1%.

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee reportedly said on Friday that he is wary of the Fed front-loading too many rate cuts, stating that both sides of the central bank’s mandate are experiencing a “deterioration.”In an interview with CNBC, Goolsbee said that he believes that the U.S. economy would be able to afford a “fair amount” of reduction in the interest rate from the current level, gradually over time, while expressing caution against cutting too quickly and “just counting on the inflation going away.”“This uptick of inflation that we’ve been seeing, coupled with the payroll jobs numbers deteriorating, has put the central bank in a bit of a sticky spot where you’re getting deterioration of both sides of the mandate at the same time,” Goolsbee said in the interview.On Wednesday, data from ADP showed private payrolls&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/private-payrolls-decline-32000-september/chCYdhBR3ak">declined by 32,000</a> in September, amid further signs of weakening labor market conditions. This represents the largest decline in private jobs in two and a half years. The September payroll decline stands in contrast with Wall Street expectations of an addition of 45,000 jobs during the month, according to&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.marketwatch.com/economy-politics/calendar">MarketWatch</a>.In September, Goolsbee said that he would be “comfortable” with the Fed lowering the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/fed-goolsbee-comfortable-interest-rate-at-3-if-inflation-at-2/chDhvW9R35h">interest rate to 3%</a> if inflation cools to 2%. “If we are on the path to get inflation back down to where it’s supposed to be and where we promised we’re going to bring it, I think rates can come down some,” he said.This was after the central bank cut the key borrowing rate by&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/default/equity/fed-cuts-rates-by-25-basis-points-september-fomc-meeting/chDGxvqRd6u">25 basis points</a> at the September meeting, bringing down the federal funds rate to the 4% to 4.25% range, in line with market expectations.Meanwhile, U.S. equities gained in Friday’s opening trade. At the time of writing, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (SPY), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, was up 0.26%, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust</a> (QQQ) rose 0.17%.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) CEO David Solomon reportedly warned on Friday that a stock market “drawdown” is looming and could occur over the next 12 to 24 months.According to a CNBC&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/03/goldman-sachs-ceo-david-solomon-warns-stock-market-drawdown-is-coming.html">report</a>, Solomon said at the Italian Tech Week on Friday that markets usually surge higher than their potential whenever there is a “significant acceleration in a new technology that creates a lot of capital formation, and therefore lots of interesting new companies around it.”He pointed to the creation of some of the world’s largest companies during the 1990s and 2000s due to the adoption of the internet, but also noted that it led to the “dotcom bubble.”“You’re going to see a similar phenomenon here. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next 12 to 24 months, we see a drawdown with respect to equity markets … I think that there will be a lot of capital that’s deployed that will turn out to not deliver returns, and when that happens, people won’t feel good,” Solomon added.According to the report, Solomon said that investors are “out on the risk curve because they’re excited.” When that happens, they tend to lean toward the positive aspects that can go right and overlook the factors about which they should be skeptical, he said. “There will be a reset, there will be a check at some point, there will be a drawdown. The extent of that will depend on how long this [bull run] goes,” he added.Meanwhile, U.S. equities edged up in Friday’s pre-market trade. At the time of writing, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (SPY), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, was up 0.09%, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust</a> (QQQ) rose 0.1%.

Goldman CEO David Solomon Warns Of Stock Market ‘Drawdown’ Over Next 2 Years, Similar To ‘Dotcom Bubble’ Era: Report

Speaking at the Italian Tech Week on Friday, Solomon stated that markets surge higher than their potential when the acceleration of a new technology creates significant capital formation.

The ongoing momentum is likely to propel the market to new highs on Friday, with major index futures indicating a higher opening. The delay in the release of the September non-farm payrolls removes a key first-tier catalyst out of the purview of traders, albeit temporarily. The market will have other triggers to contend with, including headlines on the government shutdown, which is entering its third day.&nbsp;As of 3:30 a.m. ET on Friday, the S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow futures were all up about 0.20%, while the Russell 2000 futures climbed a steeper 0.35%.On Thursday, stocks overcame early jitters over the overbought market levels and the macroeconomic risks posed by the government shutdown. As IT, communication services, material, and industrial stocks lent support, the market reversed course and ended higher. The Nasdaq Composite Index joined the other major averages — the S&amp;P 500, the Nasdaq 100, and the Dow Jones Industrials — in the record territory.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> rose 0.12% and 0.41%, respectively. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA)</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IWM">Shares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)</a> gained 0.25% and 0.39%, respectively.Fund manager Louis Navellier said the market momentum appears unstoppable, with the bias toward equity versus debt higher than ever before, and corporate share buybacks also on the rise.&nbsp; “The willingness of the Fed to pursue a series of rate cuts while inflation hovers near 3% and the economy and stock market are humming only puts fuel on the fire,” the strategist said.&nbsp;“Even if earnings slow, the dropping interest rates will motivate the $7.3 trillion in money markets to find better returns, unleashing a serious new bid for stocks, at least dividend-paying stocks.”Navellier also weighed in on concerns about massive layoffs in the wake of the government shutdown, noting that the shutdown would have to last at least 61 days before permanent layoffs could be made. If it reaches this timeframe, it would mark the longest shutdown, he said. On a positive note, such a predicament would make the Fed more dovish, he added.“But it may also all be over by this time next week, the 8-day average for shutdowns.”&nbsp;Ryan Detrick, Carson Group’s Chief Market Strategist, flagged a historical data point that suggests further gains for the market. “When the S&amp;P 500 makes a new high in October, the fourth quarter is up more than 90% of the time,” he&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/RyanDetrick/status/1973869094811414946">said.</a> The S&amp;P 500 Index has already made new highs in two out of the two sessions of October so far.&nbsp;In Friday’s session, traders will likely focus on a slew of Fed speeches and a couple of services sector activity readings for September. The S&amp;P’s final service sector purchase managers’ index (PMI) is expected to be revised up to 54 from the mid-month reading of 54.9. In contrast, the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing PMI is expected to be 52 in September, holding just above the ‘50’ level that marks the boundary between expansion and contraction, and remaining unchanged&nbsp;compared to last month.Among the Fed speakers for the day are:<ul><li>New York Fed’s John Williams: 6:05 a.m. ET</li><li>Chicago Fed’s Austan Goolsbee: 8:30 a.m. ET</li><li>Fed Governor Stephen Miran: 9:30 a.m. ET and 3:30 p.m. ET (TV appearances)</li><li>Dallas Fed’s Lorie Logan: 1:30 p.m. ET</li><li>Fed Vice Chair: Philip Jefferson: 1:40 p.m. ET</li></ul>&nbsp;Crude oil futures rose early Friday, rebounding from a four-session slide, while gold futures traded off their all-time highs. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield edged up after retreating below the 4.1% level on Thursday. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar was slightly higher against most major currencies.Most major Asian markets that remained open for trading ended Friday’s session higher, thanks to the positive cues from Wall Street overnight and the general optimism toward the technology sector. The Hong Kong market retreated, while the Chinese market is on a weeklong recess for the “National Day” holiday, and South Korea’s Kospi, which hit a record high on Thursday, was closed for a public holiday.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp; <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nuburu-retail-traders-say-load-the-boat-as-penny-stock-surges-78-in-a-week/chCuBW5R3fk">Nuburu Retail Traders Say ‘Load the Boat’ as Penny Stock Surges 78% in a Week</a>
