Operators running the Bitcoin payment software BTCPay Server through its standard Docker deployment must explicitly select Tor at their next setup or update if they want to retain onion access. The change removes Tor from the automatically included components, making a previously bundled service an administrator’s configuration choice.BTCPay detailed the deployment change in its Oct. 5 announcement accompanying version 2.4.5. The official GitHub release page records the software release on Oct. 6. For existing installations, the relevant trigger is their next Docker setup or update.

Coinbase reported Oct. 7 that newer versions of three major AI model families caught fewer fraudulent payments and a smaller share of fraud value in a historical test of payment screening for its Onramp service, despite an unchanged decision policy. The findings challenge the assumption that upgrading a model improves an existing payment screener.The company’s evaluation replayed 16,140 transactions across 7,293 users, including 813 confirmed fraudulent transactions. The cohort covered nine weeks before its risk agent rolled out, retaining all matured fraud cases while sampling legitimate traffic.Each candidate reviewed recent transaction behavior under fixed guidance and the same policy for…

Bitcoin’s next recovery could vindicate your investment thesis but leave your leveraged fund deep in the red, because the fund’s daily reset can make waiting a pretty expensive habit.Getting Bitcoin right and actually making money on Bitcoin are becoming two different skills, especially now that Wall Street is preparing products for people who don’t find the ordinary version exciting enough.On Oct. 2, the SEC approved exchange-listing rules for proposed 3x Bitcoin and Ethereum funds from VS Trust. The approval brings them closer to trading, with the appeal captured neatly in the multiplier: more exposure to a market you already believe…

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced two actions on Oct. 9 seeking to clarify the federal regulatory boundary between prediction-market contracts and traditional gambling. It proposed expressly including sports and other event contracts in the definition of a swap, a category of financial derivative, while announcing a separate interim final rule to codify the exclusion of sportsbook and casino wagers.The event-contract proposal covers sports, politics, cultural events and weather-related outcomes. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig said these products fall within the agency’s exclusive jurisdiction under the Commodity Exchange Act.That classification matters because the products can look familiar to bettors. The…

Luxor, a Bitcoin mining derivatives provider, reported a 6–13% annualized Bitcoin financing spread in its September lookback, published Oct. 9. It says lenders and Bitcoin treasury companies bought prepaid mining power and paired it with a price hedge, while miners used the reverse trade to obtain financing.The return comes from the discount a miner accepts for receiving money upfront. The hedge can fix gross BTC receipts if mining delivery and settlement perform, while the investor’s capital remains exposed to failure in that repayment chain. Luxor’s reported September range does not establish an executed return after costs or a quote available…

Coinbase’s move to Texas changed the rule a shareholder had to satisfy before suing its directors over alleged conduct from the company’s Delaware years. In an October 2 ruling, the Texas Business Court dismissed Gary Guillaume’s derivative action because he had not first demanded that Coinbase take action on the claims.The dismissal was without prejudice, and the court did not decide whether the alleged misconduct occurred. Its consequential finding concerned who could pursue claims belonging to Coinbase: Texas’s demand requirement applied to the shareholder’s authority to sue, even though the court assumed without deciding that Delaware law governed the underlying…

Bitcoin traded near $82,900 in PerpFinder’s Oct. 10, 09:36 UTC snapshot, with traders watching whether the weekend rebound brings fresh leverage or further position unwinding.The same snapshot put Binance BTC futures open interest at $7.70 billion and showed longs receiving funding, indicating negative funding. Saturday’s Deribit expiry has already settled at 08:00 UTC; Sunday’s expiry remains ahead.The rebound’s durability depends on what traders do with leverage: rebuild it, keep closing positions, or hedge against another decline.Futures positioning is the testFunding payments help distinguish those paths: positive funding means longs pay shorts, while negative funding reverses that flow.A recovery with price…

North Korean hackers stole around $1.5 billion from Bybit in February 2025. While the hack itself has been widely covered and analyzed, few have focused on what happened afterward and what became of the stolen funds.To move all that money, hackers needed to rely on an entire network of people willing to handle stolen assets, creating a chain of relationships that someone prepared to spend enough money could infiltrate.That’s what ZachXBT, a pseudonymous blockchain investigator, did. He committed 349,700 USDC and accepted a 5% loss on each completed order while posing as a client of a Chinese laundering network.He eventually…

The Fed can stop raising rates before inflation reaches 2% if officials believe the economy’s already heading there without another increase.September’s meeting left most unconvinced, with strong spending and persistent price increases outweighing the strain expensive borrowing was putting on parts of the economy.The minutes released Oct. 7 explain the thinking behind that month’s unanimous decision to raise its main interest rate to 3.75%-4%.Most participants expected another hike by year-end, but their reasons differed: many saw higher rates as insurance against inflation sticking around, while others thought the economy would need higher rates anyway.Those views can overlap, but they leave…
