The Australian Signals Directorate responded to more than 1,500 cyber security incidents in 2025-26 and issued over 4,400 threat notifications, up almost 80%. Director-General Abigail Bradshaw said each jump in AI capability is likely to bring more disruption, from data breaches to service outages. The report cites sanctions on Russian ransomware host Media Land and urges a move to post-quantum cryptography by the end of 2030. Australians should prepare for essential online services to go down unexpectedly as artificial intelligence speeds up cyberattacks, the Australian Signals Directorate warned as it released its annual threat report on Tuesday. The agency’s Australian…

Galaxy head of firmwide research Alex Thorn says Bitcoin bottomed on 30 June and is now in an accumulation phase. Nine funds, including Millennium Management and Goldman Sachs, cut 68,000 BTC of spot ETF exposure while wealth platforms and sovereign funds bought. Galaxy says a weekly close below the 50-week average of US$76,540 (AU$108,687) that is not regained within a month would challenge its view. Bitcoin’s bear market ended with the 30 June low and the market has moved into accumulation, Galaxy Research said in a report published on 26 October. Head of firmwide research Alex Thorn wrote the report,…

The Optimism Foundation wants its elected Security Council Lead to nominate the body’s members, replacing cohort elections with a system in which candidates take their seats unless tokenholders assemble enough OP voting power to veto them.The Oct. 22 ratification proposal would give the elected Council Lead responsibility for recruiting, interviewing, and nominating the participants who carry out protocol upgrades and respond to security emergencies. The Token House, Optimism’s tokenholder governance body, would keep the right to veto each nominee and remove the Lead.The proposed authority concerns choosing who is put forward for signing roles, with opponents needing 20% of active…

Babylon Labs’ proposed native Bitcoin lending market on Aave V4 would still need Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) for its direct-liquidation fallback whenever application fees or borrower compensation are due.An operator with the vault’s Bitcoin redemption rights could bypass Aave’s shared lending pool yet still be unable to complete a liquidation if those WBTC payments cannot move.The distinction comes from risk assessor LlamaRisk’s Oct. 23 pre-listing assessment. The direct route can avoid the funding constraint of running out of WBTC lending capacity by having an authorized keeper finance the liquidation itself. Required payment failures can affect both routes.If the borrower owes WBTC,…

Vultisig, a crypto wallet that uses shared signing, mishandled a critical stop signal in its ECDSA signing implementation, as security researchers at ChainSecurity found.The researchers’ Oct. 21 disclosure describes how continuing after the error could let one already-compromised signer recover the full private key.Both the Android and iOS maintainers described code that retried after the library identified a malicious participant, then added handling to stop those retries and warn the user. The changes appear in subsequent repository release notes.Requiring several devices offers protection only if the software preserves that requirement when one participant starts misbehaving.A multi-party computation wallet (MPC wallet) distributes…

Ripple expanded its institutional reach Monday as Aviva added another tokenized fund share class to the XRP Ledger (XRPL).The British asset manager invested £50 million ($66 million) in a blockchain-based share class of its Sterling Liquidity Fund, bringing its combined investments across two XRP Ledger offerings to more than £86 million ($116 million).The announcement coincided with Ripple’s expansion into round-the-clock corporate cash management, extending its presence across two areas of institutional finance that could increase activity within its digital asset ecosystem.The developments also raise a question about XRP’s role in Ripple’s growing financial infrastructure business, particularly how increased institutional adoption…

Bitcoin treasury firms Strategy and Strive made record purchases last week, but directed their capital toward different assets.While Michael Saylor’s Strategy intensified its preferred-stock buybacks, Strive accelerated its Bitcoin accumulation, highlighting diverging priorities in how the companies deploy capital.Strategy’s STRC purchases exceed $2 billionStrategy’s Bitcoin buying streak ended after five consecutive weeks as the company stepped up efforts to support its STRC high-yield preferred stock.The Saylor-led firm acquired no Bitcoin between Oct. 19 and Oct. 25, its first weekly pause since mid-September. It also raised no fresh capital through its at-the-market equity program, leaving its holdings unchanged at 848,517 BTC,…

Bitcoin faces another Federal Reserve interest-rate decision as the US struggles to restore the surveys underpinning its inflation figures.The Bureau of Labor Statistics collected 66.3% of targeted price observations in its commodities-and-services survey in September, according to figures updated October 19. That was a modest improvement from 65.9% in August but remained below the 67.6% recorded a year earlier.The shortfall comes as the agency rebuilds data-collection operations after staffing and survey reductions introduced in 2025, with restoration still incomplete ahead of the Federal Reserve’s October 27–28 policy meeting.The uncertainty adds another consideration to an already difficult inflation outlook after US…

Treasury dealers’ net holdings of bills, short-term U.S. government debt, have reached a two-year high, according to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York’s October 23 update. Financing those inventories puts dealer capacity in focus ahead of October 30, even while overnight dollar funding looks calm.FHLBNY attributes wider bill spreads partly to heavy issuance and money market funds shortening their portfolios amid uncertainty about Federal Reserve policy. Some cash has shifted from bill buying into overnight and short-term repurchase agreements, or repo. That allocation can support overnight lending even as dealers hold substantial bill inventories.
