Osmosis has suspended deposits, withdrawals, minting and redemptions for Alloyed BTC after a vulnerability on Nomic allowed an attacker to double-spend nBTC and send unbacked vouchers into Osmosis. The Nomic security failure affected 39.84 nBTC held inside Alloyed BTC, representing roughly 36% of the asset’s backing. Osmosis and the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol were not compromised, with the vulnerability isolated to Nomic’s custom forwarding mechanism. Emergency Upgrade Freezes 22.65 BTC Osmosis’ management subDAO halted Nomic and Alloyed BTC inflows and outflows...

Iranian businesses are increasingly using Bitcoin and Tether’s USDT to settle cross-border trade as the country loosens foreign-exchange controls and seeks alternative payment routes outside the global banking system. The Central Bank of Iran has quietly allowed exporters to receive cryptocurrency payments and settle transactions through domestic crypto exchanges, according to Iranian businesses, regime insiders and industry participants interviewed by the Financial Times. The central bank has not publicly formalized the change and declined to comment on the policy. Exporters...

Mexican musician Jonathan Meléndez, his pregnant wife, their three-year-old daughter and a household worker were killed in an alleged robbery targeting a cold wallet that the attackers believed contained millions of dollars in Bitcoin. Estado de México prosecutors arrested Diego Sebastián “N” and Gerardo “N” over the September 1 killings in Atizapán de Zaragoza. Meléndez’s six-year-old son survived the attack, while the family’s dog was also killed. Suspects Allegedly Searched for Bitcoin Cold Wallet Investigators allege that Diego Sebastián had...

Strategy made no Bitcoin purchases or sales between August 31 and September 7, leaving its treasury at 845,050 BTC acquired for $63.73 billion at an average cost of $75,412 per coin. The pause came immediately after Strategy returned to Bitcoin buying with a 4,603 BTC acquisition during the previous week. Capital instead moved into Strategy's preferred securities. The company repurchased 1,810,885 STRC shares for $176.3 million, with the entire amount funded from USD Cash rather than Bitcoin sales or new...

Ledger has patched a vulnerability in its Ethereum hardware-wallet app that could allow a malicious dApp to replace a transaction during the approval process while the device continued showing users the transaction they originally reviewed. Security firm TestMachine disclosed the signature-substitution flaw on August 21 after reproducing it on Ledger hardware. Ledger had already shipped Ethereum app version 1.22.2 on August 12, with its release history listing security fixes for the update. Malicious dApp Could Change the Transaction Before Signing...

Base creator Jesse Pollak has pushed back against criticism that Coinbase is selling ETH while benefiting from Ethereum, pointing to the exchange’s roughly 150,000 ETH corporate position and years of investment across the network. Pollak argued that Coinbase has held about 150,000 ETH through multiple market cycles, while describing the company as the largest ETH holder outside dedicated digital asset treasury companies by a wide margin. Coinbase’s latest regulatory filing backs up the scale of that position. The company held...

A crypto user lost 1,010 ETH after following an old Tornado Cash bookmark into a phishing frontend that captured the private withdrawal credentials needed to access the deposited funds. The victim deposited the ETH into legitimate Tornado Cash contracts, but the malicious interface obtained the private note generated during the process. The attacker then used those credentials to withdraw the assets within roughly 12 hours without compromising the underlying Tornado Cash smart contracts. Phishing Frontend Targeted Private Withdrawal Notes Tornado...

Ethereum’s network-growth metric has accelerated sharply in August, with new daily ETH addresses climbing from 121,210 on August 8 to 212,560 on August 16. The increase represents roughly 75.4% growth in eight days and adds another signal that activity is returning to the network. New-address creation measures the number of addresses appearing onchain for the first time rather than the number of unique people using Ethereum. A single user or automated system can control multiple addresses, so the metric is...

A crypto trading bot is a chain of dependencies. It reads a position, prices it, decides, places an order, and confirms settlement. Every one of those steps is an API call, and a failure at any single step stops the strategy. The provider choice shapes what a bot can actually do more than the strategy logic does. The common mistake is searching for one API that covers everything. No such API exists in 2026. Market data providers do not route...

Polymarket and Kalshi helped turn prediction markets into a mainstream trading category, but neither platform fits every trader. Access varies by country, market selection can lean heavily toward certain topics, and the tools available for entering, managing, and automating positions differ sharply across platforms. The strongest alternatives are not identical copies. Some emerging prediction markets platforms focus on professional order controls, some concentrate on fast crypto and financial markets, and others use onchain infrastructure or play-money forecasting. Users unfamiliar with...

A funded crypto trading account gives a trader access to more notional capital after they prove they can follow a firm’s risk rules. The usual route starts with a paid crypto prop firm challenge that requires a profit target without breaching daily or overall loss limits. Passing is not only about making money. Drawdown control, minimum trading days and rule compliance determine whether the account survives. The evaluation fee can be lost, and crypto prop firms use different account models,...

Tokenized stock perps allow traders to take long or short exposure to companies, ETFs and equity indexes through crypto-native derivatives markets. Positions can use stablecoin collateral, remain open without an expiry date and continue trading when the main stock exchange is closed. The trader receives price exposure, not ownership of the referenced shares. The interface often looks identical to a crypto perpetual futures market. The risk does not. A stock-linked contract can remain active overnight, through weekends and during holidays...

Nasdaq is investing $100 million in Payward, the parent company of Kraken, in a transaction valuing the private financial infrastructure company at $21 billion. The investment is being made through Nasdaq's venture arm and deepens a partnership already centered on moving regulated equities onto blockchain-based settlement infrastructure. The $21 billion valuation places Payward above the $20 billion equity value used in several transactions earlier this year and comes as Kraken continues preparations for a potential public listing. The exchange confidentially...

Circle has agreed to acquire Singapore-based payments infrastructure company Tazapay for $400 million, bringing a business processing more than $25 billion in annualized payments into the USDC issuer’s global settlement network. The $400 million transaction will be paid in Circle Class A common stock, with the final share count based on Circle’s volume-weighted average closing price during the 20 trading days preceding completion. Adjustments will account for Tazapay debt, transaction expenses and cash. Tazapay Brings $25B in Payment Volume Tazapay...

Chilean cryptocurrency exchange Orionx has begun permanently closing its operations after a forensic audit identified more than $7 million in custodial assets that had moved to wallets outside the company’s control. Withdrawals are temporarily suspended while Orionx reconciles customer balances and implements a five-stage closure and asset-restitution process. Full repayment is not guaranteed, with available assets expected to be distributed under equal and proportional treatment rather than allowing earlier withdrawals to receive priority. Bitcoin Accounts for Most of the Confirmed...

Trezor has expanded the scope of its ShipMonk data breach after discovering that personal information belonging to approximately 67,000 additional U.S. customers was exposed from orders dating back as far as 2019. The newly identified customers ordered Trezor devices between November 2019 and August 2021. Exposed records include names, email addresses, phone numbers, shipping addresses and order numbers, substantially widening an incident initially believed to be limited largely to recent purchases. ShipMonk Retained Data Trezor Expected Deleted The discovery conflicts...
