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.

Circle added its Bitcoin-backed token, cirBTC, to Gateway on Oct. 23, letting holders use one deposited balance across the Ethereum and Arc blockchains. Gateway treats deposits across supported networks as a single spendable balance per asset, reducing the need to keep funds ready on both chains, according to Circle’s announcement.The expansion also adds the EURC stablecoin alongside USDC. Circle’s asset-specific documentation lists cirBTC on Ethereum and Arc mainnet. EURC is supported on those networks plus Avalanche, Base, Solana and World Chain.

A University of Michigan study published Oct. 23 finds that Americans’ long-run inflation expectations remain above comparable 2019 and 2024 readings. That persistence could complicate easier financing conditions for Bitcoin even as the headline consumer sentiment index barely moves.The concern is that repeated price shocks can leave consumers expecting inflation to persist. If those expectations change spending behavior, bringing inflation down could become harder, narrowing the room for US monetary policy to ease.Michigan’s final October survey put sentiment at 48, versus 48.1 in September. Year-ahead inflation expectations were 4.7%, up from 4.6%; long-run expectations reached 3.5%, up from 3.4%.Both inflation…

BTCPay Server, software for accepting Bitcoin payments, merged a fix on Oct. 19 for a gap that could let API keys with broad permissions for one store reach server-wide or account-wide functions. For merchants sharing such credentials with an integration, the risk is delegating more authority than intended.Nicolas Dorier merged PR #7684 into the project’s master development branch. As of Oct. 26, BTCPay’s release list still identifies version 2.4.5, dated Oct. 6, as its latest release.How the permission boundary changesBTCPay’s authentication documentation describes API keys as integration credentials restricted by permission and store. Those are separate limits: what an application…
