cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that zk.money is returning after a three-year absence to offer private Ethereum payments via the Aztec Network. The self-custodial wallet hides balances, payment amounts, and recipients once funds move inside Aztec. Deposits of DAI, USDC, or USDT remain publicly traceable, with USDC and USDT converted into DAI before private transfers begin.

ETH is trading at $2,688.71 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 43.8% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 45.4%, both lower than the 24-hour buy ratio of 46.2%, indicating that short-term buying pressure is fading. The 1-hour volume delta is -$1,957,195 and the 4-hour volume delta is -$24,783,940, showing that sellers are currently outperforming buyers in recent timeframes. The 24-hour volume delta stands at -$58,063,058, confirming that net selling has dominated the day. CVD at the 24-hour close is -$6,877,601, further highlighting the bearish flow. Net buying occurred for only 10 of the last 24 hours, suggesting a lack of sustained demand.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.8% sits at the 16th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.5% - weaker buying than most days.
