Wall Street closes at 4 p.m., but apparently that’s becoming more of a suggestion than a rule.You can now spend the evening watching Netflix and making leveraged bets on American semiconductor companies while the exchange where their shares trade is closed.Crypto has spent years making financial markets available at every hour of the day, and now it’s extending the courtesy to stocks.The appeal of after-hours trading is easy to understand. In the past six months, we’ve seen some of the most influential and consequential announcements and decisions happen after market close, ranging from offhand comments from the US President to…

The decade-old vulnerability escaped years of security reviews and forced XRP Ledger (XRPL) developers to bypass established governance procedures.An AI agent uncovered a decade-old XRPL bug that could create trillions of XRP, prompting an emergency fix.The vulnerability could have let an attacker generate about 18 trillion XRP through a single payment transaction, roughly 180 times the cryptocurrency’s original 100 billion token supply, according to security firm Veria Labs.Veria founder Cayden Liao said the flaw potentially threatened XRP’s $94 billion market capitalization by undermining the cryptocurrency’s fixed supply.The vulnerability was reported on Sept. 22 and patched three days later. RippleX later confirmed…

Metaplanet sold 10,000 BTC and bought back 11,000 at a higher average price to show it was willing to sell its Bitcoin.The Japanese treasury company was pursuing a credit rating and better access to financing, and its Oct. 5 disclosure explained why turning coins into cash was part of that effort. Prospective creditors needed confidence that management could use its holdings to meet obligations, even if shareholders bought into the company because of those holdings.Proving the point was expensive, with Metaplanet receiving ¥124.7 billion from the sale and spending ¥149.9 billion on the subsequent purchase, paying roughly 9.3% more per…

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…
