British investor Christopher Harborne and BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo each donated £36 million to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, a combined £72 million reported as the largest single political donation in British history. Delo said he wanted to give Reform “a fair fight and a level playing field”; Harborne, who said he was inspired to match him, called his gift “a philanthropic gift to our country”. The scale of the money has fed a push by the governing Labour Party to tighten donation rules, which Reform says its two gifts already comply with. Two crypto billionaires have handed Nigel Farage’s Reform…

Revolut said an unauthorised third party used a legitimate government agency email domain to send fraudulent requests, exposing data on a “very limited” number of customers. The disclosed information may have included passports and driver’s licences, verification selfies, contact details, IBANs, account statements and full transaction histories, including Bitcoin activity. Revolut said its systems and customer funds were unaffected, that it blocked the fraudulent email and alerted the agency, law enforcement and regulators, but has not named the agency or said how many customers were hit. British fintech Revolut confirmed this week that fraudsters used a legitimate government agency email…

Lightning Development Kit, a toolkit for building Bitcoin Lightning applications, released v0.2.6 on Sept. 9 with fixes for bugs that could divert small amounts of a node’s funds or prevent saved channel state from loading.LDK packages a Lightning implementation as a software development kit for uses including mobile wallets and payment-service infrastructure.

Cross-chain protocol Symbiosis said it recovered approximately 15 BTC after an attacker exploited its native Bitcoin Bridge, but affected liquidity providers still lack compensation terms as a Sep. 13 bounty window nears its unspecified cutoff.The vulnerability was exploited at about 04:28 UTC on Sep. 11, according to the protocol’s incident statement. Symbiosis said only the Bitcoin Bridge was affected and that its other routes and components remained operational. It specifically listed routes spanning EVM chains, TRON and TON as unaffected, and said its relayer group continued operating to secure the network. The protocol said the recovered bitcoin is secured in…

In decentralized finance, “audited” is often presented as a verdict on an entire project. In practice, an audit usually covers named code, components and versions at a particular point in time. Anything added, excluded or operated around that boundary may carry a different level of assurance.A new preprint puts a number on that gap. Researchers affiliated with security company ack3 and the Czech Technical University in Prague examined 135 reported incidents from the first half of 2026, with $939.86 million in attributed losses. They found identifiable public pre-incident audits for 68 incidents.Within that 68-incident subset, the authors classified 46 attack…

Coinbase’s new partnership with payments platform Moov gives community banks and credit unions a route to offer stablecoin services through the financial relationship they already have with businesses. The local institution can remain the customer’s front door, while Coinbase supplies the disclosed custody and transaction infrastructure behind it.Moov CEO Wade Arnold framed the demand bluntly: business customers asked to accept stablecoins currently go outside their primary financial institution. Moov and Coinbase want that service to appear inside the institution’s existing payments experience. The arrangement could preserve the bank’s customer connection. Control of the economics, data and operational risk remains unresolved…

Bitcoin payment processor BTCPay Server has warned that bots are probing exposed Lightning nodes for a potential route to administrative control.The activity follows a separate critical BTCPay vulnerability that attackers exploited a month ago to obtain credentials protecting LND nodes and drain merchant wallets.BTCPay subsequently disabled external access to LND, a widely used implementation of Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, in its standard Docker deployment. The project now says automated systems are targeting servers where operators manually restored that access, repeatedly calling an LND password-change endpoint.

This weekend, on Sept. 12, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for coordinated limits on the advance of frontier AI and laid out a three-stage plan. Anthropic plans to begin by inviting external evaluators into the company with access mostly comparable to its internal risk teams.The proposed review team would receive company equipment, workspace access and opportunities to speak with employees. Its contract would permit publication of key findings without Anthropic controlling the conclusion, subject to defined legal, security, privacy and commercial constraints. Outsiders could then test whether the company’s safety commitments shape real training and deployment decisions.Access inside one lab…

Bitcoin traded below $77,000 on Sunday as a weak week extended into the weekend, leaving traders facing fresh AI uncertainty and an approaching Federal Reserve meeting.Bitcoin traded at $76,695 near press time, down 0.80% over 24 hours and 4.08% over seven days. The retreat puts the cryptocurrency back near a price area it visited before the weekend, with a Federal Reserve meeting also approaching.The price area is also familiar. CryptoSlate’s Sept. 11 coverage reported an intraday low of $76,676 on Sept. 10, ahead of the Saturday AI statements. That chronology makes the weekend’s move an extension of existing weakness rather…
