Kraken’s parent company wants a place in your finances long before you buy Bitcoin and long after you sell it. On Oct. 14, Payward agreed to acquire Saldo Finance Oy, the Finnish owner of Lithuania’s Saldo Bank, in a deal expected to close in 2027 if regulators approve it.The purchase would add deposit accounts, lending and payment services to a group better known for handling crypto trades, extending the banking push.Putting a customer’s salary, savings and Bitcoin holdings into a future Payward app could make them look like parts of one account, but that wouldn’t make the money equally protected.Eligible deposits at Saldo…
Firedancer, Jump Crypto’s independent validator software for Solana, requires researchers to burn 1 SOL to qualify for a bug bounty under terms effective Oct. 18. The burn is non-refundable even when a report identifies a real vulnerability that someone else submitted first.The change narrows the route to payment for later finders compared with Firedancer’s spring audit contest. In an Oct. 16 retrospective for Jump Crypto, Ishan Bhatt partly attributes the duplicate-report problem to the team’s own review delays: researchers kept finding bugs while earlier reports waited for action.The current terms generally award the first submission about the same issue or…
Institutions cashing out of USDC will fund rebates for institutions minting it through Circle Match, a newly available service that pairs the two sides in hourly auctions, Circle said in its Oct. 22 announcement.The service is open to eligible institutional Circle Mint customers, with approval required and availability varying by jurisdiction. It gives customers converting USDC back into dollars control over the maximum fee they will accept, while customers turning dollars into USDC set a minimum rebate.Every matched order in an auction clears at one uniform fee. Redeemers pay it, and Circle says the full amount currently goes to matched…
Crypto exchange Kraken has withdrawn intrusive compliance demands sent to Monero customers after its co-CEO admitted the requests were unjustified.On Oct. 24, Arjun Sethi said that customers who purchased and withdrew Monero (XMR) had received emails requesting information about their employers, sources of funds, and intended use of the cryptocurrency.He acknowledged that no regulation required the disputed requests and confirmed that affected customers no longer needed to respond.The reversal followed criticism of the exchange’s treatment of Monero users, particularly its decision to classify a young customer holding substantial funds as suspicious.Sethi rejected that assessment, arguing that a customer’s age and…
Arthur Hayes has exited Maelstrom’s directional crypto positions, and on-chain analysts are tracking about $26 million in token sales.In an Oct. 24 statement, Hayes said he had taken profits on Ethereum (ETH), Ethena (ENA), Uniswap (UNI), and other cryptocurrencies, citing mounting macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.The decision follows blockchain analytics firm Santiment’s Oct. 23 report of Ethereum’s largest daily net exchange outflow in more than four months, a pattern it compared with a June local bottom.Hayes abandons bullish Ethereum positions amid market uncertaintyOn-chain analyst EmberCN reported that Hayes sold about $26 million in cryptocurrencies, with Ethereum accounting for nearly three-quarters of…
The company that owns the New York Stock Exchange wants people to be able to buy stocks 24/7. Given the trading volume crypto and other tokenized assets have seen in the past year or so, the decision to introduce stock tokens comes as no surprise.People want to trade all the time, and now institutions want a piece of that. What surprises people is that the new 24/7 exchange won’t use NYSE prices to determine what stocks cost once the tradfi market closes.The price people pay for off-market trading will differ based on how much stock others have put up for sale…
A Circle shareholder sued President Donald Trump, alleging UAE-linked cryptocurrency payments enriched his family and diverted business from USDC.The complaint, filed Oct. 22 in Washington federal court, challenges a $500 million investment in Trump’s World Liberty Financial and a separate $2 billion transaction settled using its USD1 stablecoin.The lawsuit alleges that “No president in American history has profited from his office so brazenly,” arguing that the payments violated constitutional restrictions on benefits from foreign governments.J. Benjamin Greenberg, a former Circle employee, brought the case on the company’s behalf. The complaint says he currently holds 10,000 Class A shares of the…
Bitcoin Core merged a policy amendment on Oct. 22 that lets developers backport fixes for easily rediscovered vulnerabilities to every maintained release line and publish an advisory alongside them.A network snapshot from Oct. 18 shows that 3,671 of 8,422 self-reported Bitcoin Core peers (43.6%) ran release lines that had already reached end of life.The count comes from connected public peers in the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology’s Bitcoin network monitor and reflects maintenance eligibility.A node on an unsupported version can keep validating blocks correctly, and the figure doesn’t measure compromise.What changed for Bitcoin on Oct. 22Under the old policy, medium- and…
About 169,770 ETH left centralized exchanges on net in one day, Santiment reported Oct. 23, the largest daily withdrawal in more than four months and worth about $407 million at the $2,400 reference price.The last bigger episode came June 5, when roughly 223,800 ETH left exchanges near what Santiment calls a local buying opportunity.The supply reading arrives as US spot Ethereum ETFs sit on more than $1 billion of net withdrawals through Oct. 22, and 27% of major altcoins have beaten Bitcoin over seven days.Exchange balances proxy for the coins immediately available for sale on centralized venues, and a large…
Wall Street has found a use for blockchain that involves neither memecoins nor replacing the banking system. It’s now helping institutions borrow billions between breakfast and lunch, usually because they have government bonds but not enough cash when a payment comes due.Getting a bill paid on time might be the technology’s least glamorous selling point, but banks have good reasons to care.Broadridge, a financial technology company with little of crypto’s celebrity, says its distributed-ledger repo platform processed an average of $359 billion a day in September, or $7.5 trillion across the month.Its system helps institutions finance securities, move collateral, and…
