Trezor warned on September 9 that attackers used a compromised third-party email provider to send users a phishing email posing as a critical security alert. The fake message falsely claimed a hardware flaw in the STM32 chips inside Trezor devices could weaken recovery phrases; Trezor took down the domain and said keys and funds were not exposed. BitBox reported the same scam the same day, saying its newsletter provider was “very likely” compromised and that several Bitcoin firms shared it; neither company named the provider. Hardware wallet maker Trezor warned users on September 9 that attackers had used a compromised…
The US Treasury has set a $6 billion ceiling for a Sept. 10 buyback of older long-dated bonds, giving dealers more room to offload inventory. For Bitcoin, the question is whether that relief can extend beyond bond trading into broader financing conditions.The tentative schedule published Sept. 9 targets nominal Treasury securities with 10 to 20 years remaining.

Iran’s significant Bitcoin mining industry provides another way for the country to earn crypto outside traditional trade channels. Iran is loosening its strict currency controls and leaning on cryptocurrencies – especially Tether and Bitcoin – to keep trade moving as the US blocks its ports and squeezes its economy…

OpenAI says its latest AI system solved a 90-year-old math problem in 88 hours, reigniting fears over runaway intelligence.On Sept. 8, the company said that an internal model significantly more capable than its recently released GPT-6 Astra coordinated roughly 10,000 AI agents to solve the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem. This is one of mathematics’ seven Millennium Prize Problems.The agents exchanged 2.7 million messages and generated about 130 billion output tokens before Astra spent another 17 hours formalizing and verifying the result in Lean. OpenAI said the system proved that initially smooth fluid motion can develop a singularity in finite…
Solana’s shorter trading intervals could let liquidity providers keep more of the value that trading bots extract from outdated pool prices. Fee-charging pools whose prices lag external markets have the clearest modeled benefit.Solana’s mainnet has reached the reported 300-millisecond slot target, shortening the intervals allocated for block production. Validator software developer Anza also issued its Sept. 8 call for volunteers to adopt Agave v4.3.These separate upgrades change both trading opportunities and the costs of running the network.The economic question is how much trading value remains with the people supplying liquidity after faster execution, fees, and competition between bots. A larger…
Tokenized stocks promise cheaper trading and wider access, while some products make speculation easier without passing shareholder rights to the buyer.Two people can open their investment apps, see the same company name beside a similar price, and still own different things. One holds shares in the company, and the other holds a token designed to follow those shares. Both benefit if the price goes up, but that doesn’t settle what either person is entitled to receive or control.You can easily lose that distinction when you look at an attractive interface. Familiar tickers and buy buttons make the transaction look and…
