CertiK says trading bots and exchange applications may still be exposed to the eMudhra certificate problem even after browser-level fixes land. The reason is simple and uncomfortable: a lot of crypto infrastructure doesn't run in a browser, and nobody's tracking what it does trust.

The OCC became the first federal regulator to finish its GENIUS Act rules on Wednesday, and it quietly dropped the one provision banks wanted most: a presumption against third-party stablecoin rewards. The consensus says the banks won the lobbying war. The fine print says otherwise.

Strive raised $700 million in preferred equity for its Bitcoin treasury at the exact moment high-yield credit spreads were falling apart. That's not luck, it's a new capital pool forming. And it comes with a price most Bitcoiners won't like.

Ethereum bounced 2.5% to just under $2,450, but US spot ETFs bled $389 million across five sessions while Bitmine closes in on 5% of supply. The corporate treasury bid is a floor, not a launchpad, and the flows prove it.

Bitcoin has slid back toward the low $80,000s, and the entire market is now staring at one date: the Oct. 27-28 Fed meeting. Glassnode's proximity framework suggests the answer to whether $83,000 holds is sitting in on-chain inventory, not in Fed Chair rhetoric. Here's where the real support sits, and why I'm not buying the bounce narrative yet.

PancakeSwap's new fee-sharing proposal would hand liquidity providers 88% of swap fees and cut CAKE emissions by 69%. TVL just crossed $380M on BNB Chain. The vote is the easy part. What happens to liquidity after it passes is the real test.

Glassnode flags $87,700 as the level where Bitcoin's upside keeps stalling, and the sellers aren't panicking, they're breaking even. A cohort of late-2025 buyers now sits as overhead supply, and until it clears, every push higher meets the same wall. Here's what that means for the next leg.

Probly used TOKEN2049 Singapore to show off 5,100 events and 47,000 markets, plus 172 live same-day contracts including rolling BTC and ETH binaries. The real story isn't the sponsor check. It's automatic on-chain USDC payout, and why that matters more than coverage.

Binance will start valuing eligible bStocks collateral using its own off-hours prices on Oct. 24, which means your margin cushion can thin out at 3 a.m. on a Sunday. It's a quiet rule change with loud consequences for anyone who posted tokenized equities as backing and assumed they'd behave like normal stocks.

Shinhan Bank and SBI Holdings are testing yen-denominated stablecoins for Korean tourists in Japan, a narrow pilot with a much wider target. The tourist rail is the demo. The settlement layer between two of Asia's biggest trading partners is the business, and both countries just happened to open their regulatory doors at the same time.

Wallets tied to the $295 million April Drift hack dumped another $46 million in Ether into Tornado Cash on Wednesday, bringing the two-day total to roughly $109 million. But the story isn't what moved. It's the $138 million that hasn't moved yet, and the fact that nobody can stop it.
