Crypto price oracle Pyth Network missed its documented 16:00 UTC cutover deadline on Aug. 26, adding a new requirement for developers who call its Hermes price-delivery service directly: their requests now need an API key.Under Pyth’s migration guide, people who use a protocol that already integrates the oracle don’t need to take direct action.Pyth documented that the existing hermes.pyth.network address would redirect to its upgraded backend, with authentication required after the deadline. Developers could also move directly tohttps://pyth.dourolabs.app/hermes, passing the key as a bearer token or SDK access token.Pyth said the routes and response shapes did not change.Pyth’s Aug. 26…

Ethereum developers have opened an early proposal to make the staking deposit system flexible enough to accept future quantum-resistant validator keys, and it would also give a later network upgrade a one-way switch to stop new deposits using today’s BLS format.The change would affect how new validators enter Ethereum, creating an entry path for future credential formats. Yet, those formats and the rules for verifying them still have to be designed and adopted separately.Pull request #12235 was opened Aug. 24 and remained an unmerged Draft as of Aug. 26, with its working file still using the placeholder number 9999.

Bitcoin rallied over 25% in a week, but needs a close above US$83,000 to officially confirm a new bull market. Swyftx analyst Pav Hundal warns the US$80-83k band has capped rallies before, and buyers now need a fresh weekly high to break out of it. CryptoQuant’s Bull Score has jumped from 30 to 80, though short-term holders have already banked US$1.2 billion in profits. Bernstein predicts Bitcoin could hit US$300,000 by 2029 and US$1 million by 2033, even as rising exchange inflows hint at more sell pressure ahead.

AI-directed bank accounts could move deposits rapidly among banks, weakening a funding advantage that helps finance long-term credit, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas analysis published Aug. 25.Although customers can withdraw demand deposits at any time, balances tend to remain at banks for years, and deposit rates usually rise by less than market rates. That makes deposits behave partly like long-duration funding.The Dallas Fed approximates their effective duration as weighted average life multiplied by one minus the deposit beta, which measures how responsive deposit rates are to short-term rates.Instant settlement would let yield-sensitive customers switch banks quickly, while…

A new survey from the National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS) found that 80% of Americans believe the US is facing…

Cardano and Solana are testing two competing approaches to on-chain governance, with one exposing the cost of voter absence and the other shifting more power to default representatives who may have their own economic interests.Cardano’s constitutional committee renewal requires separate approval from delegated representatives, or DReps, and stake pool operators. Solana instead allows validators to cast governance votes using the active stake delegated to them unless individual stakers override that choice.The distinction is becoming visible in simultaneous votes on both networks.Cardano faces the more immediate risk. An Aug. 26 snapshot showed support for its committee renewal below the required thresholds…

Solana’s mainnet is producing blocks faster after its first staged slot-time reduction moved the network’s target from 400 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds.Faster slots shorten block-level feedback and confirmation thresholds measured in slots, while throughput depends on a separate set of limits.The Solana Foundation confirmed the mainnet change after the feature gate activated at slot 440,208,000, the first slot of epoch 1019. A feature gate is the switch validators use to coordinate a protocol change, and under the one-epoch delay required by SIMD-0525, the new timing applied when epoch 1020 began on Aug. 21.A slot is the window in which a…

Bitcoin is trading between $80,000 and $78,000, and faces two option strikes that could shape dealer hedging into Friday.Reported call exposure at $75,000 and $80,000 creates a test of whether those positions dampen Bitcoin’s next move or add force to a break.Roughly 81,700 Bitcoin options representing about $6.4 billion in notional are scheduled to settle on Deribit at 08:00 UTC on Aug. 28.A refresh of Deribit’s BTC options data placed its Bitcoin reference price near $78,514.
