SEC Opens a Five-Year Door to Onchain Stock Trading - But Companies Can Say No
Wall Street shares are getting a new route onto crypto trading infrastructure, but the companies behind those shares still get a say. The SEC issued its Innovation Exemption on September 17, giving qualifying venues a temporary path to trade tokenized U.S. stocks through automated market makers and liquidity pools. Its announcement sets a five-year expiry after publication. The relief covers specified exchange and dealer requirements, subject to conditions. For crypto traders, the immediate sign

Anti-Crypto U.S. Sheriffs Organization Changes Their Stance to 'Neutral'...
One of the louder institutional critics of the CLARITY Act has stepped out of the way just before the bill reaches a major Senate test. The National Sheriffs' Association has changed its position on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act from opposition to neutral. The shift does not amount to an endorsement, but it removes a law-enforcement group that had spent months warning senators that parts of the bill could make crypto crime harder to investigate. In a September 3 letter to Senate Majority

Wall Street Keeps Buying Bitcoin...
Institutional Bitcoin demand is doing something traders have not seen much of this year: getting stronger for several weeks in a row. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in roughly $986.9 million during the week ending September 4, bringing their three-week net inflow total to about $3.8 billion. That is the strongest three-week stretch of 2026, according to SoSoValue data cited by Cointelegraph. The timing is what makes the move interesting. Bitcoin has been trading around the $80,000 area while intere

Zcash Breaks $1200 as Grayscale's New ETF Pulls in Fresh Money...
Zcash just crossed one of those price levels that forces everyone to reopen a chart they had not looked at in years. ZEC traded above $1,000 on Friday, reaching roughly $1200 at time of publishing and pushing its market capitalization toward $17 billion. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency gained about 94% over the past month and has climbed from roughly $200 in March. The move was not driven by one clean catalyst. ETF demand, a surge in mining activity, faster privacy tooling and a very crowded

Solana Just Got Faster: Mainnet Slot Time Drops to 350ms, But This Just A Step Towards the Goal...
Solana has reduced its mainnet target slot time from 400 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds, the first step in a staged plan to eventually cut it to 200ms. The change went live around the start of epoch 1020 on Friday and marks the first time Solana has shortened its target slot duration since the network launched. It is a small-looking number with a fairly large engineering job behind it. A slot is the window in which a leader validator can produce a block. Shorter slots mean blocks can be produc

The Sandbox Bridge Was Exploited, Creating More SAND Than Was Ever Supposed to Exist...
The Sandbox has contained a cross-chain bridge exploit that allowed an attacker to create unbacked SAND tokens on Base and BNB Smart Chain, producing one of those crypto headlines that sounds physically impossible at first glance: security researchers counted billions of newly minted SAND, with one estimate putting their nominal value near $49 billion. No, an attacker did not steal $49 billion from The Sandbox. There was never $49 billion of real value sitting there waiting to be withdrawn. The

Strategy Makes $334 Million in New Investments... None of it Bitcoin.
For years, Strategy had one of the easiest corporate capital allocation stories in America to explain: sell securities, buy Bitcoin, repeat. That story is now getting more complicated. Strategy sold 3,458,866 shares of MSTR between August 10 and August 16 and raised $333.7 million in net proceeds. It bought no Bitcoin. It also sold no Bitcoin during the week. Instead, the entire haul went toward preferred-stock dividends, repurchasing STRC preferred shares and adding cash to the company's growin

Harmony Exploit Forged 3.01 Trillion Tokens, They Want to Fix it By Reverting Blockchain to Pre-Hack Date...
Harmony's latest security incident has gone from bad to surreal. What initially looked like an unauthorized mint of about 4 billion ONE has turned into a reconstructed total of roughly 3.01 trillion forged tokens, and the network's chosen fix is equally dramatic: roll the blockchain back to a point before the exploit and throw away everything recorded after it. Harmony says the forged supply was created through six cross-shard transactions and sent to four attacker-controlled wallets. One wallet
