## Claims and open questions

- Decrypt reported that Bitcoin gained 1.57% to $83,195 and Ethereum climbed 2.90% to $2,463.35.
- Decrypt reported that crypto exchange-traded funds recorded net inflows of $526.7 million, the biggest in a month, and total market capitalization rose 1.68% to $2.78 trillion.
- Decrypt reported that Zcash rose 8.5% to $1,215.85, lifting its market capitalization to $20.57 billion, and said developers were due to decide on the NU7 network upgrade that day.
- The article names the $526.7 million ETF inflow figure without identifying the data provider; a fund issuer or data service statement would confirm the breakdown by fund.
- The report says developers were due to decide on the NU7 upgrade for Zcash; an official project announcement would confirm whether the decision was made and what it covered.
- The size of the rebound attributable to short liquidations in Zcash is described without figures; exchange liquidation data would show how much forced selling occurred.
