On-chain analytics platform Arkham announced the launch of Arkham Enterprise, an enterprise-grade crypto analytics platform designed for professional investigators, compliance teams, and transaction researchers, offering features such as on-chain fund tracking, risk scoring, case management, and transaction analysis. Meanwhile, Arkham has also updated the feature access for its free platform: Tracer 2.0, transaction screening, complete transaction history, creating custom tags and entities, and the counterparty section on the browser page will now be exclusively available to enterprise users. Free users' access to transaction records for individual addresses or entities will be limited to the most recent 100 transactions, but they will still be able to use Visualizer 2.0, the block explorer, prediction markets, and Arkham tags.
Odaily reports: Alex Taaffe, Chief Revenue Officer of digital asset trading firm GSR, stated that the on-chain issuance of real-world assets (RWAs) continues to increase, but investor demand has yet to match, and the growing number of issuers and blockchains has further fragmented liquidity in the tokenized market.Mike Silagadze, founder and CEO of ether.fi, said that stablecoins facilitate cross-border transfers, but broader adoption depends on whether they can be used for everyday spending; Yvonne Chia, Head of Communications at USDD, believes that issuers should prioritize improving user experience.The stablecoin market cap stands at $306 billion, up approximately 2% year-over-year and about 74% over the past 12 months. Ilya Podoynitsyn, co-founder and CEO of FinHarbor, pointed out that service providers still need to address regulatory requirements across different jurisdictions and adjust their infrastructure and compliance systems.Miguel Morel, founder and CEO of blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, said that on-chain data can be used to assess counterparty risk and the source of client deposits. Pulkit Gupta of Nomad Capital noted that crypto market liquidity has been relatively weak over the past three months, making it more difficult to exit altcoin investments. (Cointelegraph)
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the suspected hacker behind the reported $90 million Ledger reseller incident has deposited 430.2 ETH, worth $1.07 million, into Tornado Cash through 4 wallets. After Tether froze the related funds, the hacker swapped USDT for USDD through SUN.io and USDD's PSM, with some funds also flowing into Binance hot wallets.The hacker's wallet tracked by Arkham currently holds a total of $70.6 million in assets, including 11,406 ETH worth $28.35 million; 213.371 BTC worth $17.65 million; 13.646 million USDD worth $13.65 million; and 10.909 million USDT worth $10.91 million. Onchain Lens is calling on Binance to investigate these transfers and freeze accounts associated with the stolen funds as soon as possible.
Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that the U.S. House Financial Services Committee on September 16 advanced the "American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026" by a vote of 28 to 21, which seeks to codify into federal law the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve established by Trump through executive order, and would require the government to hold confiscated Bitcoin for at least 20 years.The bill would also require public proof of reserves, independent audits, and a study on increasing Bitcoin holdings without raising taxes, government borrowing, or the federal deficit; the bill still needs to pass the full House and the Senate. Arkham Intelligence estimates that the U.S. government holds approximately 324,500 Bitcoin, worth about $24.7 billion, but the exact size has not yet been confirmed by unified government disclosure.
The Irish Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) stated that it has recovered another 500 BTC, worth nearly $31 million, from the lost crypto assets of convicted drug trafficker Clifton Collins. To date, the agency has recovered a total of 1,500 BTC in this case, valued at over $92 million at current prices.This operation was supported by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre. Europol stated that it organized operational meetings at its headquarters in The Hague and provided investigators with complex technical support and decryption resources to help them access the relevant wallet assets.The case involves 12 Bitcoin wallets accumulated by Collins from the proceeds of selling and cultivating cannabis, which initially held a total of 6,000 BTC. Previously, Irish authorities had recovered 500 BTC each in March and May.Arkham data shows that approximately 4,500 BTC remain in dormant wallets, valued at over $275 million.
Arkham posted on X stating that Nakamoto purchased approximately $679 million worth of Bitcoin at an average price of about $118,000 per BTC and has held it long-term without selling—except for a sale of 284 BTC at roughly $70,000 per BTC three months ago, resulting in cumulative losses of approximately $224 million. It is thus far the worst-performing Bitcoin treasury company. Currently, the market value of Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings has declined by over 35%, and its stock price has plunged 99.4%, falling from $1,000 (post-split adjusted) to $5.60. Its actual peak stock price reached only around $30, subsequently dropping below $0.20, prompting a 1-for-40 reverse stock split to comply with Nasdaq listing requirements.
Arkham has disclosed that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes' estimated net worth in 2026 could range between $200 million and $350 million, with verifiable on-chain assets totaling approximately $42 million. His wealth primarily stems from his BitMEX equity, his family office Maelstrom fund, and potential undisclosed token investments. Although BitMEX has significantly declined from its 2019 peak (with an annual trading volume exceeding $1 trillion and a valuation of around $3.6 billion), its current valuation stands at approximately $500 million, yet it still constitutes a core component of his asset base.Arthur Hayes was previously sentenced in 2022 for violating the Bank Secrecy Act and was later pardoned by Donald Trump in 2025. Despite navigating regulatory controversies, he remains influential in the crypto industry, particularly active in innovating perpetual swaps and sharing market perspectives.Overall, Arthur Hayes is still regarded as a key opinion leader in the crypto market, with his asset structure closely correlated to market cycles.
