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…

The token will debut on Coinbase’s Base network with a supply of 1 billion units.Following the report, Hunter Biden promoted the LAPTOP ticker on X with a video compilation revisiting the laptop controversy.The project puts Biden’s political notoriety at the center…

Michael Gubbins, head of Ireland’s Criminal Assets Bureau, said organised crime gangs are renting safe deposit boxes to store crypto private keys and seed phrases alongside cash, watches and passports. The bureau has identified about €360 million in cryptocurrency tied to crime, realised more than €130 million of it, and returned €15 million to the Irish exchequer last year. The disclosure lands as the EU prepares to cap cash payments at €10,000 and require identification above €3,000 from July 2027 under a new anti-money-laundering regime. Irish crime gangs are renting safe deposit boxes to store the private keys and seed…

Bitcoin fell below US$80,000 after stronger-than-expected US jobs data increased expectations for tighter Federal Reserve policy. The resilient labour market pushed Treasury yields higher, putting further pressure on riskier assets such as Bitcoin. Markets are now watching US inflation data for clues about the Fed’s next move. Despite the price weakness, US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted a combined US$1 billion over the final three trading days of the week. Bitcoin has dipped once again below the US$80K (AU$110.8K) mark and is currently trading at US$79,019 (AU$109,506). That’s a drop of 1.75% over the past 24 hours, in line with other…

Hunter Biden is reportedly set to launch the $LAPTOP memecoin on 9 September. The token is closely linked to the controversial laptop story that emerged before the 2020 US election. Biden’s lawyers have disputed the authenticity of some files, while Biden has publicly discussed the controversy. The launch would follow memecoins released by Donald and Melania Trump in 2025. In a very 2026 turn of events, there’s a new memecoin coming out. But not just any old memecoin. Hunter Biden, the son of former US President Joe Biden, is reportedly set to release a memecoin on 9 September called –…

DBS and Citi completed what they called the first weekend cross-border US dollar payment between Singapore and the United States on Saturday, settling in minutes using tokenised deposits on Swift’s blockchain-based ledger. Tokenised deposits are claims on commercial-bank money that can move around the clock; the funds stayed inside regulated banking channels rather than circulating as a public stablecoin. The transfer ran on a Swift ledger pilot launched in July with 17 banks across six continents, including HSBC, Citi, DBS, Standard Chartered, UBS and BNP Paribas. DBS and Citi settled a cross-border US dollar payment between Singapore and New York…

The value backing depositors’ shares in a modeled XRP Ledger loan book falls by 90,000 tokens when one loan defaults, compared with 4,500 when the same 100,000 tokens of bad debt sits in ten smaller loans. Both books start with 1 million tokens of debt, a 200,000-token reserve and identical protection settings.The 20-fold gap comes from how the documented lending rules release that reserve. Each default gets a separate cover calculation. Loan size therefore changes how much loss reaches depositors, even when the total unpaid debt and the capital available to absorb it stay the same at the outset.XRPL’s lending…

Tether-backed Orionx is shutting down with customer withdrawals frozen after more than $7 million left its custody.The Chilean crypto exchange said a forensic audit found that customer assets had been transferred to wallets outside its control, prompting it to begin a permanent closure and suspend withdrawals while it determines how much it can return.The failure comes less than a year after Tether invested in Orionx in June 2025, following an earlier investment by affiliated exchange Bitfinex in 2023. Tether’s backing had been intended to support Orionx’s expansion across Latin America.Customers now face a less certain outcome. Chile’s Comisión para el…

Harmony is proposing to shut down the blockchain it controversially restored through a rollback less than three weeks ago.The Sept. 6 plan would end Harmony’s independent network, move ONE to Ethereum, and preserve the token through a snapshot and airdrop, reversing the project’s position from Aug. 17, when it rejected migration as too disruptive.Instead, Harmony chose to roll back the chain after an Aug. 11 exploit that allowed attackers to reuse cross-shard receipts and mint tokens without corresponding debits elsewhere.The project initially reported 4 billion ONE created in the attack. Its broader reconstruction later put unauthorized issuance at roughly 3.01 trillion…
