The SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets offers a $75 million fundraising ceiling. A Senate market-structure framework starts with a greater-of-$50-million-or-10% formula. Those numbers look comparable, but they attach to different legal mechanisms.The SEC proposal would create exemptions by rule for certain crypto-asset offerings. Section 103 of the Senate’s version of the CLARITY Act would create a statutory exemption for certain transactions involving ancillary assets sold pursuant to an investment contract. The distinction changes which issuers and instruments qualify, what buyers receive, and how the two paths could interact.Neither route is currently available. The SEC proposal remains subject to public comment…
Malicious actors exposed two decentralized finance (DeFi) lenders to over $84 million in losses over four days, using variations of a price-manipulation strategy previously targeted by US regulators.The larger incident hit Tectonic on the Cronos blockchain, where security firm GoPlus estimated roughly $75 million was affected.Three days earlier, Moonwell’s MAMO lending market on Base was left with about $9.1 million in residual debt following another attack involving an illiquid token.

USBC has registered a block of already-issued shares equal to almost its entire outstanding common stock for potential resale, creating a potential market overhang alongside a balance sheet that relies heavily on Bitcoin.The company’s August 27 amended preliminary prospectus covers up to 359,815,000 shares held by selling stockholders. That equals about 92.7% of the 388,144,429 common shares outstanding as of August 24. USBC would receive no proceeds from any sale or other disposition by those holders.No transaction is disclosed. The covered shares already exist, and the selling stockholders may dispose of all, some or none of them. The filing creates…
Michael Saylor’s $13,400 Bitcoin floor exposes the exact order of losses inside Strategy’s debt stack
Strategy, the Bitcoin treasury company, is marketing a roughly $13,400 “BTC Floor” for STRC, its variable-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock. With Bitcoin near $78,000, the label sounds like a vast buffer. The SEC-filed briefing defines something narrower: the Bitcoin price at which Strategy’s illustrative STRC coverage ratio reaches 1.0x.The metric provides no claim on Strategy’s Bitcoin and carries no solvency or recovery meaning. STRC closed at $97.33 on Aug. 28, giving holders a simple 12.33% effective yield at the current $12 annualized dividend. The filed dashboard used an Aug. 21 price of $96.18 and listed a 12.48% yield, $9.972 billion…
A new XRP Ledger study says two or three extra peer connections per participating node can sharply raise the number of nodes a targeted attack must remove to disrupt modeled consensus.XRPL consensus depends on enough trusted validators receiving one another’s messages. A separate peer-to-peer network carries those messages between servers, so extra routes could keep validator traffic moving if an attack removes the network’s busiest hubs.The Aug. 26 arXiv paper tests random K-out augmentation. K is the number of new undirected edges each participating node creates to peers chosen uniformly at random.At 60% participation and K=2, the model’s quorum critical…
Michael Saylor has hinted Strategy may resume Bitcoin purchases after weeks without buying. Strategy has not bought BTC since June and recently sold some of its holdings. The company raised US$2.01 billion through MSTR share sales but kept the funds in reserves and cash. Bitcoin remains below US$80K as analysts watch for signs the bear market may be ending. After weeks of not buying any more Bitcoin for its reserves, a post by the founder and chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Michael Saylor, indicates that things might be about to change. On what used to be Twitter and is now…
More than 2 million ETH is waiting to enter Ethereum staking as the amount already staked reaches a record high.Ethereum’s validator activation queue held 2.059 million ETH at 12:37 UTC on Aug. 30, leaving a deposit joining the back of the line facing an estimated wait of about 35 days and 18 hours.The backlog comes as more than 42 million ETH, nearly 35% of the cryptocurrency’s supply, is already staked. Both measures have climbed to record highs, extending a broader increase in capital committed to Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system.Only 96 ETH was waiting in the validator exit queue at the same…
Polygon Labs said the Austin fork on the Bor client and the Kyoto fork on the Heimdall client fixed a batch of security and liveness flaws, including two denial-of-service paths in block processing. The most severe flaw gave attackers a permissionless way to force costly, correlated decode work across the whole validator set with a single crafted transaction, according to the Aug. 27 disclosure. Austin activated on mainnet Aug. 13 and Kyoto on Aug. 18, and Polygon said the flaws were addressed ahead of any exploitation on mainnet. Polygon Labs revealed on Aug. 27 that two hard forks already active…
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju believes Bitcoin’s 2026 bear market has ended, citing a positive market-cycle indicator. Bitcoin has surged over 23% in two weeks, though it’s currently struggling to hold the US$80K mark. US Bitcoin ETFs saw their first outflows in nearly two weeks, led by Ark’s ARKB. As we wrote several times last week, analysts are currently following the crypto market closely to see whether there are signs the bear market is over. However, one analyst, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, has made up his mind. On X (formerly Twitter), he posted: Ki Young Ju says Bitcoin’s 2026…
Leveraged funds more than doubled their CME XRP net short as open interest surged nearly 40% in one week.Last week, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reported that XRP open interest increased by 2,206 from a week earlier, to 7,783 futures-equivalent contracts. At 50,000 XRP per standard contract, the increase represented about 110.3 million tokens and lifted total exposure to roughly 389.2 million XRP.The expansion came during a sharp recovery in the token. CryptoSlate previously reported that the digital asset had rebounded about 32% from $1 this month, trading near $1.38 as of press time.Leveraged funds moved against that momentum,…
