CertiK tracked just one crypto-related home invasion in the first half of 2025. A year later, its publicly verifiable tally had surged 20-fold.Physical-coercion crimes, often called wrench attacks, bypass digital defenses by threatening a holder or relative until someone surrenders access or moves funds. The change turns a crime statistic into a custody-design problem: a secure key is not enough if one frightened person can release all the value immediately.In CertiK’s H1 2026 wrench-attack report, released July 23, across all attack types, the security firm counted 52 verified incidents, up 33.3% from 39 a year earlier.

Bitcoin mining pool Poolin Technology filed for Chapter 11 with $163.7 million in IOUs owed to wallet users. Its two Texas affiliates are seeking court approval for asset sales with opening offers worth $52 million.The offers equal about 31.8% of the IOUs, yet they cover assets held by Lonestar affiliates rather than cash in Poolin Technology’s wallet business.

The debt clock ticking inside corporate Bitcoin treasuries could force billions back onto the market
The convertible notes, preferred shares, and credit facilities that financed a large share of corporate Bitcoin holdings carry maturities, redemption windows, and dividend dates that determine when a company might need to sell.Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s head of digital assets research, shared a list of corporate Bitcoin treasuries that maps who ranks above the coins inside each company’s capital structure.Once Bitcoin sits inside a public company’s balance sheet, it stands beneath a stack of claims: creditors expecting repayment, preferred shareholders expecting distributions, lenders holding pledged coins, common shareholders wanting buybacks, and an operating business that needs cash to run.A payment, redemption,…
BitMEX completed a review of its business and will close on Sept. 23, telling customers to close their positions and withdraw funds before then.The announcement came with no balance-sheet hole, withdrawal freeze, or bankruptcy filing, with Kaiko data putting BitMEX’s market share below 0.01% and its daily volume near $400,000.That combination makes BitMEX’s exit a different kind of crypto headline during bear markets, one where traders migrated to deeper liquidity elsewhere, and the exchange is closing simply because its business became too small to sustain.
