Ontology said its mainnet resumed normal operation on Sept. 2 after an emergency security pause and told every sync-node operator to upgrade to version 3.1.5. Sync nodes are infrastructure that keep their copy of the blockchain synchronized with the network.The restoration notice says the new software is required to maintain compatibility with the restored chain and ensure stable synchronization. Ontology told operators to upgrade as soon as possible, confirm that their nodes are fully synchronized, and verify normal operation afterward.Older software therefore carries a compatibility and synchronization risk, although the notice does not say that every unupgraded node has already…

Circle president Heath Tarbert told Congress on Sept. 2 that placing digital-dollar infrastructure under US rules could reinforce the network effects that support the currency’s global role. The testimony framed stablecoin and digital asset legislation as a tool of dollar statecraft.US rules can strengthen private dollar-token rails, while official reserve share remains a separate contest. Regulated stablecoins can spread private use of dollar-denominated tokens, change how issuers hold reserves, and add demand for short-term Treasuries.Central banks remain responsible for deciding which currencies they hold. Tarbert acknowledged the boundary, arguing that payment technology cannot substitute for sound economic policy and that…

Silicon Network is shutting down with nearly $10 million still on-chain, giving users until year-end to exit.The Ethereum layer 2 stopped accepting new bridge deposits and ended its network on Sept. 2, starting a withdrawal period that runs through Dec. 31.Silicon said its explorer and network will shut down afterward, leaving assets that remain on the chain unrecoverable.It stated:“This network is a non-custodial service, meaning that the custody and withdrawal of assets are managed directly by each user. Once the service has been terminated, assets that have not been withdrawn cannot be recovered.”The closure unwinds a network that had sought…

Data from SoSoValue shows that US XRP ETFs have recorded net inflows for six consecutive months, pulling in roughly $474 million over that period.The token was trading around $1.32 to $1.33…

Michael Saylor has roughly one week to orchestrate STRC’s return to its $100 par value by his informal Sept. 8 target, but the financial machinery required to close the final gap is running hot.Despite deploying $635.2 million on aggressive buybacks, Strategy’s preferred security continues to hover around $97. The company has simultaneously restarted its Bitcoin accumulation after a two-month freeze, signaling confidence that its balance sheet can absorb both demands.Yet, the path to par has morphed into a highly capital-intensive grind just as a wave of competing Bitcoin-linked yield products hits the market.The coming days will test more than Saylor’s…

BlackRock’s Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) has narrowly outperformed the S&P 500 since launch despite subjecting investors to a drawdown nearly three times as deep.The iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, returned 67.74% from its Jan. 11, 2024 debut through Aug. 31, compared with 66.14% for Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF, or VOO, on a total-return basis that reinvests dividends.That left IBIT ahead by just 1.60 percentage points after Bitcoin surged to a record high and then gave back much of those gains during a prolonged downturn.“Hard to believe IBIT is beating VOO since inception but it’s true,” Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric…
