Odaily reports that Matt Cole, CEO of Bitcoin treasury company Strive, stated in a post that in Bitcoin treasury strategies, the "amplification ratio" is the most important factor driving total returns. His model shows that over 99% of total return variation is determined by the amplification ratio, while the impact of cost of capital is far lower than commonly perceived by the market.

Cole stated that Strive's goal is to outperform Bitcoin by maximizing total returns for common shareholders, with its base case projecting Bitcoin's annualized compound growth rate at approximately 50% through 2030. Cole said he hopes to raise Strive's amplification ratio above 60% later this year, but if warrants are exercised in the coming weeks or Bitcoin rises further, achieving that target will become more challenging.

Odaily reports: According to feedback from multiple community users, Websea has once again experienced withdrawal suspensions or failure to receive funds since September 25. When responding to user inquiries, Websea's official community MOD stated that withdrawals are "undergoing maintenance due to technical reasons" and that an announcement will be made as soon as they are restored. As of September 29, community users are still reporting inability to withdraw, and Websea has yet to release a formal public statement regarding this withdrawal anomaly.

In April of this year, Websea had previously restricted withdrawals due to asset verification and other reasons, resuming them in phases. On August 28, it announced the cancellation of tiered withdrawal limits and the restoration of normal withdrawals. Websea's proof of reserves on September 15 showed that the reserve ratios for USDT, BTC, and ETH were 117%, 105%, and 118% respectively at that time; the current balances of some previously disclosed wallet addresses have noticeably declined compared to that snapshot. However, since the reserves involve a large number of addresses, multiple blockchains, and third-party custody, it is currently impossible to judge the platform's overall reserve status based on this information.

Odaily News: Zcash developers are integrating parts of the scaling project Tachyon's code into the Zakura Common cryptography library, with a new component called Udon released on Monday. Tachyon lead Sean Bowe stated that Udon was previously developed as part of Tachyon and has now been added to Zakura Common to leverage the library's existing performance optimizations.

The long-term goal set by Bowe and Dev Ojha, lead at Valar Group, is to achieve over 50,000 private payments per second. Tachyon aims to reduce the amount of data that Zcash nodes need to receive and verify by merging proofs from multiple transactions into a single proof. However, the upgrade has not yet been activated on the Zcash network.

According to ZecStats data, in the 7 days ending September 28, Zcash averaged approximately 6,200 transactions per day involving shielded funds, down from an average of approximately 11,700 per day in the 7 days ending September 21. (CoinDesk)
