Avalanche Treasury Corp approved a $10 million Class A share-repurchase program after reporting a $44.7 million second-quarter loss, with about $35.7 million attributed to losses linked to AVAX.Management described the program as one tool to create shareholder value while it sees a market disconnect.The company’s Aug. 26 results release discloses the board’s approval and contains no disclosure of completed purchases, and its immediate effect is a statement of management intent.The company said the $35.7 million reflected fair-value changes, realized digital-asset losses, and impairments. That mix includes accounting adjustments and realized losses, making it distinct from a measure of cash expenditure…

The Smarter Web Company, which reported holding 2,712 BTC earlier this month, said Jesse Myers, Head of Bitcoin Strategy, will leave on Sept. 1 while its Bitcoin Treasury Policy remains unchanged under board oversight.The Aug. 25 notice did not give a reason for Myers’ departure, name a successor or say how his responsibilities would be reassigned. Those unanswered questions matter because Myers held a documented operational role in the company’s Bitcoin strategy.In January, Smarter Web identified Myers as part of the senior executive team responsible for day-to-day management of the group. His remit included implementing the treasury strategy, improving Bitcoin…

Thailand is proposing a crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) framework that would give domestic fund managers, the Stock Exchange of Thailand and locally regulated custodians a structural advantage as the country opens the market to Bitcoin and Ethereum products.On Aug. 24, Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) opened public comment on rules that would initially allow passive, single-asset funds focused on Bitcoin or Ethereum. Each fund would need to maintain an average net exposure of at least 80% of net asset value to its chosen asset over an accounting year.

Bitcoin Core has merged a redesign of its optional transaction index that cut about 40 GB from the database in one contributor’s mainnet test. Operators using -txindex retain their existing indexes through an upgrade; capturing the full saving requires recreating the database.Pull request #35531, merged into Bitcoin Core’s master branch on Aug. 15, reduced the author’s rebuilt mainnet txindex from about 66 GB to 26 GB. The roughly 61% reduction is confined to this optional index. Bitcoin’s blockchain and the rest of a node’s data directory remain outside the measurement.The code is merged upstream. Stable binaries follow a separate release…

Bitcoin’s sharp two-week recovery, which briefly pushed its value above $80,000, has brought Michael Saylor’s Strategy BTC treasury back into profit and lifted its common stock faster than the cryptocurrency.BTC’s price rebound accelerated after the US Treasury moved to expand buybacks of longer-dated government debt, easing pressure on yields and weakening the dollar.Renewed optimism around US crypto policy, heavy short liquidations, and stronger demand for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds added further momentum to the upward move.As a result, Bitcoin briefly topped $81,000 on Tuesday, its highest level in more than three months, after spending much of the first half of…

REX-Osprey’s XRP ETF held 40.25% of its assets in the CoinShares Physical XRP ETP on Aug. 24, routing $22.87 million of a $56.68 million portfolio through another listed product. That structure means XRP ETF fees and trading costs can stack up across two listed products. The same holdings snapshot reported 59.74% as XRP, with 4.7 million XRPR shares outstanding, a $12.09 net asset value and a $12.06 closing price.That split is not evidence that the CoinShares position lacks XRP backing. CoinShares says its product is 100% physically backed. Nor should XRPR’s XRP line be read as proof that the parent…

Bitcoin’s security-budget debate usually starts with one total: how much miners collect in transaction fees as the block subsidy shrinks.A July 2026 NBER working paper by Fabian Schär, Dario Thürkauf, and David Yermack points to a second variable. Using data from 2017 through 2025, the authors report that larger fee differences between adjacent Bitcoin blocks are associated with more competing blocks at the same height and a longer wait for the next block.The evidence is observational and identifies a network-level relationship, while miner intent and the cause of any individual block race remain unresolved. The finding still gives wallets, miners,…

Banks defend themselves against stablecoins by saying they are building tokenized deposits to modernize payments, with programmable money and around-the-clock settlement.Falcon Finance chief RWA officer Artem Tolkachev told CryptoSlate that the explanation covers only half the reason:“It is the balance sheet, not the technology.”A tokenized deposit keeps the money a stablecoin would move off a bank’s balance sheet, leaving it as a deposit the bank can still lend against. Tolkachev said:“A stablecoin competes with the deposit. A tokenized deposit is the deposit, just programmable.”Underneath stablecoins and tokenized depositsTolkachev said that, to whoever is holding them, a tokenized deposit, a reserve-backed…
