The Eurosystem launched Pontes on Monday, giving banks a live route to settle tokenized assets in central-bank money.The European Central Bank (ECB) simultaneously began preparations to invest a small portion of its own funds in tokenized securities, with those purchases set to settle through Pontes. The move puts the ECB on both sides of Europe’s emerging tokenized-market infrastructure, providing the settlement rail while preparing to invest through it.Pontes connects distributed-ledger market platforms with the Eurosystem’s existing TARGET settlement services, allowing tokenized securities transactions to complete using central-bank money. An initial group including Deutsche Bank, Santander, Société Générale and the European…

Some Bitcoin mining vardiff (variable difficulty) controllers can keep demanding work calibrated for a machine’s former speed after it cuts hashrate. The miner can keep hashing and consuming electricity while accepted shares become vanishingly rare.Bitcoin Optech highlighted the failure mode on Sept. 18, drawing wider attention to an analysis that mining engineer Eric Price published in July. The finding concerns pool-assigned share difficulty, not Bitcoin’s network difficulty, and it describes a testable controller weakness rather than evidence of widespread miner losses.How Bitcoin mining vardiff gets stuckPools assign each connection a share difficulty that is easier than Bitcoin’s block difficulty. A…

A coordinated attack drained 8.7 million FET and used a compromised NuNet minter key to create 408.5 million NTX.The Sept. 19 attack emptied the Ethereum-side conversion contract used by SingularityNET’s bridge, removing 8,721,530 FET worth about $1.55 million at the time. Twenty-nine minutes later, a stolen NuNet minter created 408.5 million NTX and sent the tokens to the same receiving wallet, according to an on-chain forensic report prepared by Athena.Fetch.ai subsequently paused AGIX-to-FET conversions and its Ethereum-side bridge contract as a precaution. The company said the affected infrastructure belonged to SingularityNET, primarily its Ethereum-Cardano bridge, while Fetch.ai’s own contracts and…

Bitcoin’s rally toward $86,000 has pushed US spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors back into profit after months underwater.Data from CryptoSlate showed Bitcoin gained about 6% over the past 24 hours, extending its September rebound and briefly trading near $86,000.Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart said the move put the average US Bitcoin ETF holder above water for the first time since January. The funds’ estimated buys-only cost basis stands at about $81,722 per Bitcoin, while their net cost basis sits closer to current prices.US Bitcoin ETFs Cost Basis (Source: Bloomberg Intelligence)Bitcoin traded around $85,165 in Bloomberg Intelligence’s latest reading, clearing…

Ethereum developers are weighing Ethereum Quick Slots for Hegotá, a proposed faster block rhythm that would reduce waiting without expanding the network’s per-second capacity. EIP-8198, or Quick Slots, remains Proposed for Inclusion rather than scheduled, and neither its eight-second draft parameter nor the 10-second alternative has been adopted.That makes validator performance the deciding issue. Shorter slots could refresh onchain prices sooner and accelerate confirmations and finality, but validators would have less time to receive, check and attest to each block. The proposal’s market benefits are modeled; its effect on the slowest operators remains the evidence Ethereum still needs.The Hegotá meta-EIP…

The Balancer V1 recovery proposal would divide 296.401711 ETH returned after an Aug. 31 exploit among liquidity providers in 120 legacy pools, but it does not yet show what any address could claim.The proposal says tokens worth about $1.39 million at attack-time prices were drained from the pools. It lists five ETH returns to the Balancer DAO Multisig between Sept. 8 and Sept. 16 from the main greyhat, three anonymous whitehats and block builder Ultrasound.money.The 296.401711 ETH is the amount the proposal records as returned, not a promise of full reimbursement. The attack loss is expressed in dollars at historical…

Bitcoin’s post-retarget relief for miners was real, but narrow.Using a BTC price of $84,751, the completed difficulty increase and the latest gross hashprice is about $40.31 per petahash per second per day. That is roughly 2.65% above the prior modeled baseline.However, the next difficulty estimate is pointing 2.48% lower. The estimate came after only 14.43% of the new epoch, making it an early signal from slower blocks rather than a result or proof that miners were switching off.The two readings are compatible. Price had restored a modest amount of gross revenue per unit of computing power after the Sept. 19…

ZetaChain’s on-chain governance has approved retiring the network’s standalone blockchain and moving ZETA to Solana as the project pivots toward private AI.Proposal 68 passed after voting ended Sept. 20, with about 99.44% of ballots supporting the plan. The on-chain tally showed 263.65 million ZETA voting in favor, 744,658 voting against, and 752,300 abstaining, giving core contributors a mandate to prepare the migration.The vote does not immediately move tokens or shut down the network.ZetaChain says its own L1 no longer fitsThe planned shutdown marks a sharp strategic shift for a project founded in 2021 to connect otherwise separate blockchains.ZetaChain spent years…

Bitcoin surged above $85,000 as a wave of short liquidations accelerated the cryptocurrency’s strongest advance since January.Data from CryptoSlate showed BTC gained more than 5% over the past 24 hours to reach $85,193, extending its advance over the past 35 days to about 29%. The asset had eased to $84,545 as of press time after breaking through levels that had constrained its recovery for much of the year.The rally caught bearish traders heavily exposed. CoinGlass data showed about $750.5 million of leveraged crypto positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, with more than $648 million, or roughly 86%, coming…

A flaw in Bitcoin Lightning software Eclair could let malicious peers wipe out a node’s local channel balance through fees.ACINQ released Eclair 0.14.3 on Sept. 14 to patch three peer-triggered vulnerabilities that could cause operators to lose or lock funds during channel closures, splicing, and on-the-fly funding.The Bitcoin technology company, a contributor to Lightning Network development and maker of Eclair and Phoenix Wallet, strongly recommended operators upgrade because malicious nodes could exploit these issues.Eclair’s patched vulnerabilitiesThe most direct attack involved cooperative channel closures. When Eclair was responsible for the closing fee, an adversarial peer could propose a charge larger than…
