Odaily reports: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Electrum has disclosed a high-risk security vulnerability in which malicious servers can trick users into sending Bitcoin to an attacker's address when users increase transaction fees. The attacker intercepts broadcast transactions and replaces them in the wallet history with a forged transaction that redirects funds to an address controlled by the attacker. If users increase fees via Replace-by-Fee (RBF), Electrum may sign the malicious transaction. Electrum confirmed receiving two related incident reports, with one user losing funds. The attacker also generated addresses with the same last four characters as the intended recipient addresses. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 4.8.3 and has been fixed in version 4.8.3. Electrum reminds users to update immediately and to verify all recipient addresses and amounts before signing transactions.
Since 2025, as of October 5, Bitcoin treasury companies such as Strategy and Strive have financed the purchase of 135,979 BTC through preferred stock offerings, accounting for more than 0.5% of Bitcoin's maximum supply; the related preferred stock market is approximately $12 billion. Perpetual preferred stock has no fixed maturity date, which can alleviate refinancing pressure and attract yield-oriented investors who are unwilling to hold Bitcoin directly; however, expanding issuance also increases dividend expenses. Sustained financing for Bitcoin purchases depends on preferred stock trading at or near par value. If prices fall below par, the appeal of new issuance may decline, and companies may turn to buybacks. James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, said Strategy's latest weekly report shows the company spent $193 million to repurchase STRC, bought 267 BTC during the same period, and raised its preferred stock repurchase authorization to $3 billion. Buybacks can reduce future dividend costs but also compete with Bitcoin purchases for capital. Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at Bitwise, expects ETFs will remain a larger source of Bitcoin demand over the long term, while perpetual preferred stock covers a different group of yield-oriented investors and provides another source of demand support for the market. Butterfill believes preferred stock may amplify market cycles: when financing conditions are favorable, it supports Bitcoin purchases; when market sentiment weakens, that support may diminish.
Odaily — Stripe and Plasma plan to launch a stablecoin payment card that supports users in spending with U.S. dollars, Brazilian real, euros, Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, and stablecoins such as USDC and OUSD, with the goal of covering more than 100 countries by 2027. The related service is currently operating in over 30 countries, and Stripe's stablecoin card infrastructure is estimated to have processed about $1.2 billion in monthly spending as of 2026. Plasma operates a blockchain designed specifically for stablecoin transactions as well as the neobank app Plasma One, whose multi-currency accounts will migrate to Stripe's card infrastructure.

Lido has launched 0x02 CSM, enabling permissionless operation of validators with a maximum effective balance of 2048 ETH. Operators do not need to raise staking funds themselves; they only need to provide a bond. The first key requires 32 ETH, and each subsequent key requires 30 ETH, with staking allocated by the protocol. This module adopts an initial deposit queue and an additional staking queue capped at 32 slots; the initial share cap at launch is 0.01% of Lido Core TVL, and the first batch of approximately 32 keys will receive seed deposits.
Odaily Reports: Uniswap Labs has launched Aggregator Hooks, integrating external decentralized exchange quotes into its v4 routing system on Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Robinhood Chain within its web app and API. At launch, seven external sources are integrated; Uniswap claims this covers over 90% of DEX activity across supported networks, though it does not guarantee optimal execution for every swap. The routing engine can compare quotes block by block and settle swaps involving both Uniswap and external venues within a single transaction, without requiring additional token approvals for tapping external liquidity. Swaps routed through Aggregator Hooks can generate protocol fees that support UNI burning, and developers can integrate new routes via the Uniswap API; the actual impact on spreads and trading volume still needs to be verified through live trading.
The Blockchain Association has sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, urging both parties to develop a digital asset tax framework, and has launched taxclarityforamerica.com to help users contact their lawmakers. The association's core demands include: establishing a substantive tax exemption threshold for small crypto transactions so that everyday low-value purchases are not subject to the same tax treatment as investment sales; treating qualifying stablecoins more like cash for tax purposes; and treating mining and staking rewards as "self-created property," taxed upon disposition rather than upon receipt.
Odaily reports: The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published draft guidance CP26-36, stating that crypto trading apps may constitute "arranging crypto trading" if they select trading venues or execution paths for clients based on price, liquidity, cost, or execution speed, and would require authorization under new rules taking effect on October 25, 2027. Modifying trading instructions, deciding execution timing, or selecting routes based on counterparty risk and expected outcomes all count as indicators of "discretionary involvement"; automated decision-making does not exempt developers or operators, while interfaces that purely relay orders without affecting execution may qualify for the technical services exemption. Existing UK crypto firms must submit applications between September 30, 2026 and February 28, 2027; the consultation period runs until November 18, and the FCA aims to publish the final guidance in January 2027, though the consultation paper states the timing as spring.
The Electrum project officially announced the release of version 4.8.3, stating that it patches a critical security vulnerability and urging all users to upgrade.

The official Electrum website advises users to download the software exclusively from their official site and verify the GPG digital signature to confirm the installer’s source and integrity.
Odaily — Digital asset company Tether has announced that 15 Bitcoin mining companies, ASIC manufacturers, and mining pools have committed to jointly building and maintaining integrations for its open-source mining development kit, MDK. MDK aims to unify access methods across different mining infrastructures, enabling developers to build applications and AI automation systems.Participants will develop and maintain MDK Workers, converting their respective hardware, mining pool, or system interfaces into universal interfaces; without needing to replace existing technology, they can also decide which features to open up. Existing applications can connect to different mining environments through MDK.Tether's QVAC mining agent has already connected to mining infrastructure through MDK. MDK version 0.11 will be released on October 23–24 at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, with the first stable version 1.0 planned for launch by the end of 2026. (Tether News)
a high-severity reliability vulnerability has been disclosed in Succinct's zero-knowledge proof system SP1. The vulnerability was disclosed on October 11 via GitHub advisory GHSA-p7v2-jjv3-8p8f, affecting SP1 native Rust verifier versions 6.0.0 through 6.8.0, potentially allowing the mainnet Prover Network to accept invalid proofs: a malicious prover could submit a proof of invalid execution, and the network verifiers would still accept it. The cause of the vulnerability is that the verifier only reads the data's label (declared dimension) and does not verify whether the actual number of stored elements equals the product of the dimensions; an attacker could forge the label to make an invalid proof pass. Groth16 and Plonk checks that use fixed-shape wrap proofs are unaffected, and the on-chain Solidity verifier is also secure. Succinct released fix version 6.8.1 on September 24, which has been deployed to mainnet; this version adds deserialization length validation. The vulnerability was discovered by Vitalis Salis and reported through the Immunefi bug bounty program. Users who run the native Rust verifier themselves and accept untrusted proofs need to upgrade to 6.8.1.
Odaily reports: The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has issued the final stablecoin rule under the GENIUS Act, set to take effect on January 18, 2027. The rule removes the clause that automatically extended the redemption period to 7 calendar days once demand exceeded a threshold, and defines "prompt redemption" as the issuer initiating payment or crediting the issuer's account upon request; bank settlement is a separate subsequent step. The general processing deadline for eligible redemption requests is capped at 2 business days, excluding weekends and federal holidays; when redemption requests for a single brand exceed 10% of its circulating supply within 24 hours, the issuer must notify the OCC supervisory office within 24 hours, with the regulator having discretion over whether to extend the processing time, and issuers may not delay redemptions citing onboarding process deficiencies. The revised confidential PS-01 report will track unpaid tokens, average redemption duration, and redemption amounts exceeding 2 business days; the first weekly and quarterly reports are due on January 25 and March 31, 2027, respectively, both pending OMB approval.
