Most of the Bitcoin stolen through the COLDCARD wallet flaw remains unmoved, but on-chain investigators have detected a separate attacker beginning to route smaller amounts through a mixer. Summary The largest known COLDCARD attacker controls 1,159 BTC across seven addresses. None of the 1,159 BTC has entered mixers or been transferred to an identifiable cash-out service. A separate attacker sent 64 BTC toward a mixer, initially mixing about 10 BTC. Investigators have distributed roughly 600 flagged addresses to law enforcement, exchanges, and analytics firms. COLDCARD attacker leaves 1,159 BTC untouched Galaxy Research said the largest known theft connected to the…

A group of six researchers submitted a draft Ethereum Improvement Proposal that would burn a growing share of validator rewards.  The plan would burn the validator rewards in accordance with how much ETH gets staked. It addresses the fact that there is currently no point where the incentive to stake more ETH shuts off.  What is the Tapered Issuance Burn? Six researchers, including Jérôme de Tychey, Ladislaus von Daniels, and Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation, have put forward a proposal that would change how Ethereum pays validators by deducting from the rewards validators already earn.  The deduction grows as…

I’ve read enough shutdown notices, like the recent one from AscendEX, to recognize the shape of a collapsing exchange before I finish the first paragraph. They arrive dressed as routine compliance updates, citing “regulatory considerations” or “market conditions,” but by the time you reach the part where they can’t guarantee your withdrawal, the platform has usually been dying for weeks. The AscendEX collapse gives us a fresh, well-documented case to work from, and I want to walk through it not as another obituary for a dead exchange, but as a template for spotting the next one before your money is…

A finance employee at engineering firm Arup once sat through an entire video call with AI-generated deepfakes of his company’s CFO and colleagues, watched their faces move, heard their voices, and authorized a $25.6 million transfer. None of it was real and the fraud only unraveled after the money was already gone.Cases like Arup’s prove that AI regulation isn’t a distant policy debate. It touches daily financial security. Given how heavily modern crypto fraud relies on hyper-realistic impersonation, this is one of the most consequential tech policy developments for crypto users today.What the EU AI Act Actually Requires Starting NowThe…

TLDR: FARTCOIN price gained 2.60% to $0.130 as meme coin demand and a wider crypto rebound supported renewed speculative buying. A whale opened a 2x leveraged long covering 16.73 million tokens, worth about $2.16 million, and placed another $531,000 limit order. The token broke above a July falling wedge and retested $0.125, while bullish MACD and RSI divergence signals strengthened the setup. Resistance sits between $0.135 and $0.15, while a loss of the $0.12 support area could weaken momentum and expose lower demand zones. FARTCOIN’s price rose 2.60% over 24 hours to $0.130, outperforming the broader crypto market’s 1.37% advance.…

Uniswap took center stage while most large-cap crypto assets spent July grinding sideways waiting for the next catalyst. The protocol didn’t wait around for one.I went back through the protocol’s own governance record to see exactly what happened, and I’ll be honest, it’s rare for me to find a token whose price move lines up this cleanly with a documented, on-chain governance outcome rather than just market noise. That’s what pulled me into digging deeper here instead of skimming past another green candle.What Happened To Uniswap In JulyUNI ran from roughly $3.83 to $4.54 between July 29 and 31, a…

Everyone’s been glued to Arbitrum competitors like Solana and their meme coin charts, as well as Base’s retail app growth, and it’s easy to see why those make for flashier headlines.
