Bitcoin climbed above $80,000 after a $148 billion US Treasury cash build failed to destabilize overnight funding markets.The Treasury General Account rose by $148.003 billion through Sept. 16 to $991.708 billion, Federal Reserve data showed, as tax payments shifted cash into the government’s account at the central bank.Deposits held by commercial banks at the Fed fell by $114.971 billion over the same period to $2.922 trillion, tightening the pool of reserves available to the financial system. The gap between the two moves shows the Treasury increase did not translate into a one-for-one reserve drain because other balance-sheet flows were also…

Fraudsters attempted to steal at least US$10 million (AU$14 million) from Polymarket’s US platform from February using stolen debit cards, the Wall Street Journal reported 20 September. Payment processor Checkout.com at one point rejected more than 80% of the platform’s US deposits as fraudulent, against an industry norm of roughly 1%, per the report. CEO Shayne Coplan told staff to keep growing and pay a fine if regulators found out, people cited by the Journal said, while a law firm review concluded Polymarket complied with regulations. Polymarket faced an attempted theft of at least US$10 million (AU$14 million) early this…

Bitcoin entered this week (Sept. 21–27) above $80,000, but Friday’s update on Americans’ inflation expectations could test whether its rebound can withstand tighter monetary policy.The Bitcoin price stood at $80,323 in CryptoSlate’s Sept. 20 snapshot, up 4.82% over seven days and 3.82% over 30 days. That recovery leaves two questions for the coming week: whether buyers keep adding exposure, and whether inflation concerns intensify after the Federal Reserve’s latest rate increase.CryptoSlate’s 90-day forecast points to a higher median price in December. September prediction markets, however, leave room for both a rebound into the mid-$80,000s and another decline. Neither supplies a…

Cardano’s delegated governance voters let a 12.29 million ADA request for Pogun expire without ratification, showing that Input Output’s history as a founding builder does not guarantee access to the network’s treasury.Pogun is an Input Output-backed credit and liquidity product designed to bring Bitcoin into decentralized finance. Its proposal offered Cardano a share of the business in exchange for development funding. Charles Hoskinson says the product is still headed to Cardano. Future Input Output ventures will follow technical and commercial fit instead of an automatic Cardano-first policy.The result is a clear test of decentralized control. Cardano’s representatives withheld public capital…

Almost 4,000 Bitcoin left Liquid’s reserve on Sept. 6 through a withdrawal the network approved, even though the private keys used to authorize it hadn’t been stolen. Software had accepted a withdrawal that should never have qualified.Liquid lets people move a Bitcoin-backed token on a separate blockchain designed for faster, more private transactions. Bitcoin goes into a shared reserve, and users receive tokens called L-BTC, each intended to represent one BTC. When users redeem those tokens, the corresponding coins come out of the reserve.According to TRM Labs’ reconstruction of the attack, attackers exploited a software flaw to create L-BTC without…

Solana validator coordination now operates on a 250-millisecond target slot time. A slot is the network’s target interval for a validator to produce a block, so the change gives users more frequent opportunities for transactions to land while giving validators less time to pass production from one leader to the next.The change became effective at epoch 1037 on Sept. 18, according to the Solana engineering changelog and a Solana Compass report that placed the transition at about 05:06 UTC. One early Sept. 20 sample covering 60 one-minute windows observed about 266ms per produced slot. Epoch 1037 skipped about 0.05% of…

A strange thing has happened to Bitcoin’s derivatives market over the past five years. The market is larger, institutions play a much bigger role, exchanges offer more sophisticated products, and traders have become far better at moving risk around. At the same time, one of the products that helped build that market has almost disappeared from the crypto-native venues where Bitcoin derivatives first took off.Dated futures volume across the offshore venues tracked by Glassnode is now about 97% below its 2021 level. Options, meanwhile, have expanded from roughly one-quarter of crypto-native Bitcoin derivatives open interest to nearly half, gaining share…
