Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Solana validator adoption of the v1.18 client has reached 85% of consensus stake, marking an important infrastructure milestone for the network. This is one of those updates that will not excite casual traders as much as a meme coin rally. But for the health of the chain, it matters. Validator software upgrades are how networks improve performance, reliability, and execution over time. In Solana’s case, the v1.18 release is tied to improvements around transaction scheduling, block propagation, and reduced state contention during periods of heavy demand. That…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure The XRP Ledger’s Automated Market Maker amendment has reached 80% validator consensus, starting the activation window for native AMM functionality on the network. That is a meaningful moment for XRPL because it pushes the ledger closer to a more native DeFi model. XRP has always had deep exchange liquidity and a strong payments narrative, but DeFi has not been the network’s defining strength in the same way it has been for Ethereum, Solana, or other smart contract ecosystems. A native AMM could help change that. But the…
In brief The G7 says organizations should begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography now. Attackers can collect encrypted data today and decrypt it if sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana developers are already testing defenses against the threat. The G7 is urging governments and businesses to prepare for quantum-enabled cyberattacks now, warning that migration could take years and that sensitive data is already at risk.In a new report, the cybersecurity working group of the Group of Seven, better known as the G7—a forum comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States—called quantum computing…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Optimism’s Superchain interoperability upgrade has gone live on the Sepolia testnet, giving developers a new environment to test native cross-L2 messaging across OP Stack chains. This is not mainnet yet, and that distinction is important. But it is still a meaningful step. The whole Superchain idea depends on many OP Stack networks being able to communicate more smoothly with each other. Without interoperability, the ecosystem risks becoming a collection of separate chains that happen to use similar technology. With it, the Superchain can start behaving more like…
British financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown is letting retail investors buy bitcoin — nearly one year after it said the cryptocurrency was “not an asset class.” The Bristol, UK-based investment firm’s website said it was offering bitcoin and other crypto exchange-traded notes to investors. ETNs are investment funds which trade on stock exchanges and track the prices of digital assets. It comes after the firm, which manages nearly £173 billion (over $233 billion) in assets, last year warned customers about buying bitcoin. “While longer-term returns of Bitcoin have been positive, Bitcoin has experienced several periods of extreme losses and is…
In brief Polymarket launched Polymarket Perps on September 3 with an initial slate of 10 markets that expanded to 67 within hours, spanning crypto, stocks, indices and commodities with leverage up to 20x and no contract expiration. Leverage caps vary by asset: crypto, the S&P 500, oil, gold and silver support up to 20x, while individual stocks and other real-world assets top out at 10x, per Polymarket’s own documentation. U.S. traders can’t place Perps orders and are routed instead to Polymarket US, the company’s separate CFTC-regulated exchange, a split that traces back to a 2022 CFTC settlement. Polymarket, the prediction…
Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor has said that a data breach first announced last month is worse than originally reported. The Prague, Czech Republic-based company said Friday that an additional 67,000 U.S. customers had their names, emails, phone numbers, shipping addresses and order numbers leaked. The leaked data came from orders made between November 2019 and August 2021, according to Trezor. Trezor first announced in August that data from 11,742 customers from the U.S., UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal had been exposed — with names, emails, phone numbers and shipping addresses leaked. Two days ago, we received an update…
El Salvador has not used public funds to accumulate bitcoin since the International Monetary Fund’s last review of its loan program, the fund said Thursday. In a report Thursday, the body said that the Central American country had instead received bitcoin from private donations, citing documentation from the government. It added that “no further Bitcoin accumulation beyond the documented donations is expected.” El Salvador made headlines in 2021 when it became the first country in the world to make bitcoin legal tender. Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele in 2022 said the country would buy one bitcoin per day but it was…
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Uniswap’s v4 hook library has expanded with automated liquidity management tools, giving developers more ways to customize how pools behave. Hooks are one of the big ideas behind Uniswap v4. They let developers add custom logic around pools, including fee behavior, orders, liquidity management, and other actions that can happen before or after swaps. That is powerful. It is also risky if handled badly. So the expansion matters not just because it adds features, but because it pushes Uniswap deeper into a more modular DeFi design where…
In brief The OCC granted OpenReserve Bank preliminary conditional approval on September 2 to charter a national bank in Salt Lake City, Utah, just under five months after the company filed its application. OpenReserve must raise at least $210 million in initial paid-in capital and hold a 12% Tier 1 leverage ratio for three years before it can open. OpenReserve plans a separate subsidiary to issue and custody dollar-backed stablecoins, though that application hasn’t been filed with the OCC yet. OpenReserve Bank, backed by Andreessen Horowitz among other VC heavyweights, received preliminary conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller…
Bitcoin slid Friday after a better-than-expected labor report showed that the U.S. job market accelerated in August. The leading cryptocurrency was recently trading for close to $79,764 after dropping as low as $78,706 earlier in the morning in New York. It’s currently down over 1% over a 24-hour period. On Thursday, the coin soared above $82,000. The Federal Reserve is typically more likely to raise interest rates when the labor market is strong, because more people employed means more spending, and more spending can push inflation up. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh last week gave his first major speech as…
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure EigenLayer has crossed 5 million ETH in restaking deposits across operators, marking another major scale milestone for one of Ethereum’s most closely watched DeFi infrastructure protocols. The figure includes native ETH and liquid staking token deposits, so it needs to be read carefully. Still, 5 million ETH is a huge number, and it shows how large the restaking market has become. EigenLayer’s pitch has always been simple but ambitious: let staked ETH secure more than Ethereum alone. That idea has pulled in capital quickly, but it also…
The National Sheriffs’ Association this week dropped its opposition to the crypto Clarity Act, after having previously warned that the proposed bill could help criminals. Writing Thursday to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the association said it was changing its stance to neutral given how complex the issue is. A number of lawmakers were hoping to vote on the Clarity Act in August. After a delay, a vote will now go ahead this month. The bill will establish a framework for distinguishing between digital assets that are securities, commodities or payment stablecoins — legislation that…
