Luxor, a Bitcoin mining derivatives provider, reported a 6–13% annualized Bitcoin financing spread in its September lookback, published Oct. 9. It says lenders and Bitcoin treasury companies bought prepaid mining power and paired it with a price hedge, while miners used the reverse trade to obtain financing.The return comes from the discount a miner accepts for receiving money upfront. The hedge can fix gross BTC receipts if mining delivery and settlement perform, while the investor’s capital remains exposed to failure in that repayment chain. Luxor’s reported September range does not establish an executed return after costs or a quote available…

Coinbase’s move to Texas changed the rule a shareholder had to satisfy before suing its directors over alleged conduct from the company’s Delaware years. In an October 2 ruling, the Texas Business Court dismissed Gary Guillaume’s derivative action because he had not first demanded that Coinbase take action on the claims.The dismissal was without prejudice, and the court did not decide whether the alleged misconduct occurred. Its consequential finding concerned who could pursue claims belonging to Coinbase: Texas’s demand requirement applied to the shareholder’s authority to sue, even though the court assumed without deciding that Delaware law governed the underlying…

North Korean hackers stole around $1.5 billion from Bybit in February 2025. While the hack itself has been widely covered and analyzed, few have focused on what happened afterward and what became of the stolen funds.To move all that money, hackers needed to rely on an entire network of people willing to handle stolen assets, creating a chain of relationships that someone prepared to spend enough money could infiltrate.That’s what ZachXBT, a pseudonymous blockchain investigator, did. He committed 349,700 USDC and accepted a 5% loss on each completed order while posing as a client of a Chinese laundering network.He eventually…

The Fed can stop raising rates before inflation reaches 2% if officials believe the economy’s already heading there without another increase.September’s meeting left most unconvinced, with strong spending and persistent price increases outweighing the strain expensive borrowing was putting on parts of the economy.The minutes released Oct. 7 explain the thinking behind that month’s unanimous decision to raise its main interest rate to 3.75%-4%.Most participants expected another hike by year-end, but their reasons differed: many saw higher rates as insurance against inflation sticking around, while others thought the economy would need higher rates anyway.Those views can overlap, but they leave…

It also shortens the time required to complete a network epoch to approximately 24 hours from 48 hours.Anza, the developer behind Solana’s Agave validator client, confirmed the activation, declaring that the SIMD-0525 upgrade had been completed.“Blocks land twice as often as they did at genesis. An epoch now takes about a day instead of two,”…

Ethereum’s transaction fees have burned enough ETH to offset just 2.07% of the new coins issued in 2026, according to an Oct. 9 supply ledger.After fee burn, validator penalties, and other destruction, the network has added approximately 778,413 ETH, increasing supply by about 0.64% from the window’s opening level.A larger gas limit can spread the necessary fee spending across more activity, lowering the required fee per gas and creating a hurdle for holders that expect scalability to make ETH scarcer. Developers pursue a conditional 200 million maximum gas goal after the Glamsterdam upgrade.Using one current finalized accounting sample, an illustration…
