Cardano’s Leios upgrade has demonstrated sixfold throughput gains, but staking economics still depend on paying users.The scaling protocol peaked at 26.8 transaction kilobytes per second during its first public testnet phase, compared with a 4.51 TxkB/s ceiling for Cardano’s existing Ouroboros Praos system, according to the network developer Input Output.In the stable final days of the 41-day test, Leios carried 54% of traffic reaching the chain and processed 18 times the transaction count seen on Cardano mainnet over the comparable period. The traffic, however, was artificially generated to stress the system rather than produced by users paying to transact.That distinction…
Bitcoin trades below $80,000 on Sept. 8 as oil approached $100 a barrel following a fresh disruption to Saudi energy facilities. The new energy shock could complicate the inflation outlook even if Friday’s US consumer-price report brings encouraging news.Bitcoin’s price stood near $78,300 at press time, down 1.52% over 24 hours, although it remained up 20% over the past 30 days. Its monthly gains therefore remained intact as the latest energy disruption added uncertainty.Reuters reported that operations at some Saudi energy facilities halted Tuesday following attacks by Yemen’s Houthi movement, citing Saudi authorities. Brent crude futures touched $99.46 a barrel…
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino’s vision of financial autonomy for people and machines puts a practical decision in developers’ hands: how much spending authority should an AI agent receive when a wallet’s owner unlocks it?Tether’s Sept. 3 explanation of WDK CLI, the local command-line wallet built with its Wallet Development Kit, gives a concrete answer for that product. The human opens a timed session. On macOS and Linux, another process running as the wallet owner can request transactions if it can reach the unlocked wallet’s local endpoint. The CLI daemon does not require fresh approval of each payment.That distinction matters for…
The Aug. 31 disruption of the Sality botnet cut off its operator’s ability to deliver new malicious software to infected computers, while malware already on those devices remained active, according to CrowdStrike’s Sept. 1 report. Users of infected machines still need to remove the installed malware, including a tool that swaps cryptocurrency addresses and can redirect payments.CrowdStrike said the botnet enabled payload distribution to more than 33,000 infected machines worldwide. The figure measures compromised computers; the number of users who lost cryptocurrency remains unspecified.The Justice Department announced the multinational operation on Sept. 1, 2026, following the action the previous day.…
Key takeaways XRP is approaching $1.40 after defending short-term support at $1.38. Futures open interest edged up to 2.24 billion XRP, indicating a modest increase in derivatives exposure. The open-interest-weighted funding rate remains positive at 0.01%, showing that bullish traders are paying to maintain long positions. A daily close above $1.42 could open the path toward $1.50 and $1.70. Ripple’s XRP is down 1% on Tuesday, approaching the psychologically important $1.40 level after buyers defended support at $1.38. The recovery follows an unsuccessful attempt to break through selling pressure around $1.50 last week. Holding above $1.40 would strengthen XRP’s short-term…
BitFuFu, a Bitcoin miner and cloud-mining provider, reported a 55.4% rebound in August production as additional capacity came online. Cloud-mining customers accounted for about three quarters of the extra output, while the company’s Bitcoin holdings increased by 59 BTC.The unaudited Sept. 3 operating update put total production at 174 BTC, up from 112 BTC in July. Cloud-mining production rose from 40 to 86 BTC, contributing 46 BTC of the 62 BTC increase. Self-mining added the remaining 16 BTC, rising from 72 to 88 BTC.That split matters for shareholders assessing BitFuFu’s decision to spend Bitcoin on future mining capacity. The company…
Key takeaways XLM remains above important moving-average support zones, preserving its broader bullish structures. Its long-to-short ratios rose to 1.15, approaching one-month highs. XLM faces immediate resistance at $0.20, followed by targets at $0.218 and $0.237.

Derivatives traders increase long positions CoinGlass data showed that the long-to-short ratio for XLM stood…
The Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol cluster says Ethereum’s issuance policy belongs in a broader ecosystem process than fork scoping.In its Sept. 7 assessment of proposals for the Hegotá upgrade, EF Protocol graded EIP-8363, a proposal to burn part of validators’ issuance rewards, as declined for inclusion in its own priorities. Its four graders were unanimous. But the cluster reserved judgment on the proposal’s merits and called for a broader ecosystem process, saying policy affecting stakers, holders and the network’s security budget requires participation beyond EF Protocol.That leaves an economic choice running while the governance question remains open. Existing issuance continues to…
Bitcoin’s Liquid sidechain received 3,400 BTC back into its federation wallet on Sept. 7 after a reserve drain. The partial recovery restores assets behind L-BTC, its Bitcoin-linked token, while withdrawal access remains unconfirmed and public bridge nodes are still listed as experiencing a major outage.The recovery transaction confirmed at 16:09:25 UTC in Bitcoin block 965950. By press time on Sept. 8, Blockstream’s status page still listed an active Liquid security incident and a major outage affecting public bridge nodes.That leaves holders with two separate questions: how much Bitcoin is available to back their tokens, and when they can redeem them.…
Ethereum is beginning to constrain what it can add to upcoming upgrades as developers race to make the network quantum-resistant by December 2029.On Sept. 7, the Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol cluster said that the deadline will remain non-negotiable at least until a review with outside experts in January, putting optional features into increasingly direct competition with the engineering work needed to harden Ethereum’s execution, consensus, and data layers.The trade-off is already emerging in Hegotá, the upgrade being scoped after Glamsterdam. Its two protected headliners are FOCIL, a system designed to strengthen transaction-inclusion guarantees, and Frame Transactions, which introduces a new account…
