Zcash Co-Founder Suggests Bitcoin Move Away From Fixed 21M Supply Cap and Grow 4% Annually Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson said on X that he questions the rationale behind Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply cap. He argued that private keys will continue to be lost over time and that, in the long run, all private keys will eventually be lost. Ben-Sasson said he supports a monetary policy with an “absolute cap,” but suggested adjusting the strategy, such as setting a fixed maximum issuance rate, for example 4% per year, to keep circulating supply aligned with human growth and ensure sufficient liquidity.

TETHER BRINGS USDT BACK TO BITCOIN WITH RGB ROLLOUT Tether is preparing to launch USDT natively on Bitcoin via the RGB protocol, marking the stablecoin’s return to the network where it first debuted in 2014 through Omni. UTEXO is leading the commercial rollout, with the launch expected as early as July. The integration will allow users to send and receive USDT using native Bitcoin addresses and over the Lightning Network through compatible wallets. UTEXO says direct integration with Tether could reduce fees, eliminate the need for intermediary tokens like TRX to pay transaction costs, and enable near-instant USDT-to-Bitcoin swaps. The move represents Tether’s most significant expansion onto Bitcoin in years and could strengthen Bitcoin’s role as a settlement layer for stablecoins if adoption gains traction.
