Electrum’s latest security update fixes a Lightning backup defect, but some Bitcoin wallet users still need to replace saved backups.Older backups from wallets with non-deterministic Lightning keys lack information needed to reclaim funds from anchor channels, a Lightning channel type, after a remote close.Version 4.8.2, dated Sept. 11, remains the latest release listed on Electrum’s official website as of Oct. 1.The individual-backup fix adds payment-key information needed to claim the user’s balance from an anchor channel closed by the peer. Without that information, an affected backup lacks the key needed to sweep the output, meaning claim the coins on the…

A trader can get a better Solana (SOL) swap price while a passive pool depositor remains exposed to traders picking off stale quotes, and a Sept. 29 preprint measures that divide.For quiet-market SOL/USDC fills, propAMMs, pools controlled by professional operators, had a reference-relative execution cost proxy of 0.26 basis points versus 2.59 for public automated market makers (AMMs).The study covers Sept. 1, 2025, through Aug. 31, 2026, with shorter Base and Monad samples. It weights fills by notional against Bybit’s size-weighted top-of-book USDT microprice, converted with its USDC/USDT midpoint. Its authors list ETH Zurich and Category Labs affiliations.A swapper wants…

Bitget said on Sept. 30 that it had restored its Protection Fund to more than $300 million after absorbing the Sept. 24 security breach’s financial impact. The exchange describes the fund as an additional safeguard for customers, separate from reserves backing their account balances.In its announcement, Bitget says the fund absorbed approximately $388 million in impact from the incident, while customer balances remained accurate and unaffected. It says it fulfilled a Sept. 28 pledge to bring the fund back to at least $300 million within a week, completing the replenishment two days after that commitment.The release does not quantify the…

Crypto firms and users have lost nearly $2.7 billion to security incidents this year, with North Korea-linked thefts exceeding $1 billion.Blockchain security firm CertiK recorded 658 incidents through September, with about $420.4 million of stolen assets frozen or returned. That leaves adjusted losses of roughly $2.26 billion and an average loss of $4.1 million per incident.September sharply altered the year’s tally. Losses reached about $766.5 million, surpassing April’s $651.3 million and making it the costliest month of 2026. Bitget’s $387.5 million breach and the $318.7 million Liquid Network incident accounted for more than $700 million of the damage.The surge has…

US manufacturers reported more widespread input-price increases in September, raising a potential financing risk for Bitcoin if investors respond by expecting higher interest rates ahead of Friday’s jobs report.The Institute for Supply Management’s Oct. 1 release put its manufacturing prices index at 77.9, up 6.8 points from August’s 71.1. The manufacturing PMI registered 54.5, new orders 55.3 and employment 52.7.For Bitcoin, that combination matters because resilient activity and widening cost pressures could complicate the case for lower interest rates.The prices gauge measures how widely monthly increases are reported, and its 77.9 reading is not a 77.9% inflation rate. Higher input…

NEAR’s new US ETF is facing its first stress test days after launch as a $3.8 million ecosystem exploit hit the token.NEAR fell about 10% to $4.86 after NEAR Intents disclosed a security incident involving its Omni deposit-and-withdrawal infrastructure. The selloff came less than two days after Bitwise opened the token to US exchange-traded fund investors through its NEAR ETF, with the ticker NRR.The fund began trading on NYSE Arca on Sept. 29 and attracted $35.5 million of net inflows on its first day. By Sept. 30, cumulative inflows had risen to over $50 million, while total net assets reached…

XRP is beginning to support live dollar borrowing on Ethereum, though the market remains heavily concentrated among a handful of borrowers.A Morpho market backed by FXRP, a tokenized representation of XRP, had about 7.18 million RLUSD in outstanding loans against 10.76 million FXRP as of Oct. 1. The three largest addresses accounted for almost all of that debt, limiting how far the activity can be read as broad adoption.The market, launched in August through Flare, lets XRP holders mint FXRP, move it to Ethereum, and borrow Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin without immediately selling their XRP exposure.That adds a new credit use…

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their first daily outflow in more than two weeks, interrupting a recovery that had pushed cumulative flows close to a record.The funds posted $148.7 million of net withdrawals on Sept. 30, ending nine consecutive positive sessions that brought in about $3.08 billion, according to Farside Investors.Fidelity’s FBTC drove most of the reversal, with $125.6 million in outflows. Bitwise’s BITB lost $13.6 million, and BlackRock’s IBIT shed $9.5 million, while the other nine listed funds recorded no net flows.Despite the setback, September remained strongly positive. The products attracted about $2.65 billion during the month, their…

Bitcoin’s monetary case is growing stronger as governments face more expensive borrowing, and software is becoming a buyer of services. Sovereign financing pressure gives people a reason to consider money issued outside government policy. Agent commerce gives that money another way to circulate.The Bank of England put sovereign-bond stress and the borrowing that finances artificial intelligence in the same warning on September 30. Its financial-stability record describes an extended energy shock pushing government yields higher, while growing AI-related debt leaves more investors exposed to the technology’s fortunes.I see a credible catalyst for hyperbitcoinization in that combination. A transition toward Bitcoin…

The Financial Conduct Authority opened its authorization gateway for the new UK crypto rules on Sept. 30, starting an application window that can protect existing Bitcoin providers’ ability to keep serving UK customers and take new business if approval is still pending when the full regime begins.The window closes Feb. 28, 2027. The full regime starts Oct. 25, 2027, according to the FCA’s announcement. February is the deadline for qualifying for the saving provision, a temporary protection for pending applicants, rather than a date when Bitcoin services must immediately stop.
