Bankrupt crypto lender Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky has agreed to a permanent ban from the securities, commodities, and crypto business under a New York settlement announced on Oct. 9. The agreement also sets conditional state payment obligations of up to $35 million, without creating a new payout to Celsius creditors.The deal resolves New York’s civil suit, filed in January 2023, and adds state obligations to a separate federal criminal case. Mashinsky is serving a 12-year prison sentence.What the $35 million figure meansThe first obligation is $25 million in damages to New York. Under paragraph 2 of the annexed consent order, that obligation is…

Solana has doubled its targeted block-production frequency after activating 200-millisecond slots on mainnet, completing a months-long effort to accelerate the blockchain.The Oct. 9 upgrade reduces Solana’s original 400-millisecond slot target by half, allowing the network to create five block-production opportunities per second instead of 2.5. It also shortens the time required to complete a network epoch to approximately 24 hours from 48 hours.Anza, the developer behind Solana’s Agave validator client, confirmed the activation, declaring that the SIMD-0525 upgrade had been completed.“Blocks land twice as often as they did at genesis. An epoch now takes about a day instead of two,”…

THORChain’s TRON operations were interrupted on Oct. 9 after a USDT vault blocklist, according to reports by its co-founder Chad Barraford and researcher Khal. The researcher put the affected balance at about 1.45 million USDT.Both accounts later reversed the restrictions, according to updates from both accounts. At 3:35 p.m. UTC, Barraford said the addresses appeared unfrozen, and trading would resume soon. At 3:58 p.m. UTC, Khal reported that TRON USDT swaps had resumed. The earlier payout queue describes the interruption before the reported resumption of swaps.In his initial analysis, Khal reported that block 86958330 blocklisted four of THORChain’s six TRON…

Ethereum’s transaction fees have burned enough ETH to offset just 2.07% of the new coins issued in 2026, according to an Oct. 9 supply ledger.After fee burn, validator penalties, and other destruction, the network has added approximately 778,413 ETH, increasing supply by about 0.64% from the window’s opening level.A larger gas limit can spread the necessary fee spending across more activity, lowering the required fee per gas and creating a hurdle for holders that expect scalability to make ETH scarcer. Developers pursue a conditional 200 million maximum gas goal after the Glamsterdam upgrade.Using one current finalized accounting sample, an illustration…

Suspected Ledger wallet thefts are approaching $90 million as Tether freezes USDT stablecoin linked to the incident, according to blockchain investigators.In an Oct. 9 statement, the crypto hardware wallet maker said it was investigating reports that customers lost funds after buying devices from CryptoBilis, an authorized reseller operating in Southeast Asia.As a precaution, the company asked the distributor to immediately pause sales and shipments of its hardware wallets while the investigation continues.Ledger also advised customers who purchased devices from CryptoBilis in the past 90 days not to initialize them if they had not yet completed setup.Those who had already configured…

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) now lets institutions delegate account tasks while retaining control of their primary signing keys.The PermissionDelegationV1_1 amendment went live on Oct. 8 at ledger 107,524,865. It lets account owners assign specific transaction permissions to other accounts.The upgrade mirrors the division of responsibilities in traditional finance. Treasury departments, compliance officers and asset managers can operate under different levels of authority.For example, a stablecoin issuer can let its compliance team approve counterparties while a separate account executes payments. Owners can modify or revoke delegated permissions without exposing their primary signing keys during routine operations.Vet, an XRP Ledger Foundation contributor,…

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson accused Vitalik Buterin of undermining quantum-resistant cryptography with speculative warnings about AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs.In an Oct. 9 post, Hoskinson challenged the Ethereum co-founder’s skepticism toward lattice-based cryptography, arguing that decades of security research had already accounted for the technology’s known weaknesses.He warned that encouraging developers to abandon established approaches could slow the adoption of protections already being deployed across internet infrastructure, leaving systems exposed to future quantum attacks.The criticism follows Buterin’s warning that AI-assisted mathematical discoveries could weaken cryptography designed to resist quantum computers.Buterin said Ethereum’s long-term “lean” roadmap has moved toward hash-based signatures and proofs,…

A correctly signed Ethereum transaction can still deliver a financial result its user would never have accepted under a meaningful loss limit. Ethereum Foundation research published Oct. 5 examines how Ethereum transaction assertions could enforce rules over the outcome, widening the checks available to wallets and protocols.The decisive question is who supplies those rules and whether the app or service assembling the transaction can weaken them. A check can measure what happened and reject a result below a minimum, yet offer little financial protection if the same transaction builder chooses a permissive minimum.As of Oct. 9, EIP-7906 remains a draft.…

Ethereum open interest in Binance’s ETHUSDT futures contract was 2.27% higher in ETH on Thursday, Oct. 8, over the last 48 hours, even though its USDT-denominated value had fallen 6.58%.Open interest measures outstanding futures exposure. For traders assessing exposure remaining through the price decline, coin quantity separates changes in that exposure from changes in its valuation.Bitcoin’s futures book provided a different version of the same distinction. Over those matched timestamps, Binance’s BTCUSDT open interest fell 1.45% in BTC units, compared with a 5.97% decline in USDT value. Most of that value decline came from repricing under the accounting method used…
