According to disclosure documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bitnomial Exchange, which has been acquired by Payward, the parent company of Kraken, has filed a rule change application proposing to establish common listing standards and related trading rules for cash-settled single-stock security futures.

Odaily News: The Central Bank of Russia published a draft on September 18 proposing two ratios, N31 and N32, to measure relevant exposures based on each individual credit institution's own funds and banking group consolidated capital, respectively.

Positions held in own accounts and customer positions for which the bank bears responsibility are subject to a 1250% risk weight; the draft is planned for official release in Q4 2026, taking effect 10 days after publication, with banks expected to report N31 and N32 values starting from January 2027.

Odaily News: Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that ARB is expected to reach $10 by the end of 2030. The forecast uses $0.14 as a reference price, approximately 48 times the current price of $0.21; its annual targets also include $0.5 in 2026, $1.5 in 2027, $3.5 in 2028, and $6.5 in 2029.Arbitrum's monthly revenue for September is projected to reach $5 million, representing a more than 5x increase from before Robinhood Chain's launch. Robinhood Chain launched its public chain mainnet on July 1 based on the Arbitrum platform, targeting tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications; under the Expansion Program, 10% of protocol net revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% supporting the Arbitrum Developer Guild.ARB is an ERC-20 governance token used for voting on ArbitrumDAO proposals. It currently does not represent on-chain asset ownership, nor is there a mechanism for directly capturing Arbitrum revenue. Standard Chartered noted that a slowdown in the tokenization process, competing blockchains, and ARB's lack of a direct value capture mechanism are the main risks facing this forecast.

According to CoinDesk, London-based crypto institutional technology services provider Haruko was targeted by a cyberattack earlier this week, affecting a total of 15 clients. Attackers exploited vulnerabilities in Haruko’s infrastructure to extract user access tokens, gaining access to clients’ read-only exchange API information and trading data. A small amount of client funds were stolen, and smaller hedge funds with weaker security controls face a higher risk of loss. Haruko co-founder and CTO Adam Carlile confirmed that the attack specifically targeted Haruko itself. The vulnerability has been patched, and the company plans to release a complete technical post-incident report. Haruko serves over 80 institutional clients globally and connects to more than 100 centralized exchanges and 30 blockchains.
Bybit officially launched the TradFi Perp Option today, using stock perpetual contracts as the underlying asset to combine option structures with the 24/7 liquidity of the crypto market, filling the gaps in traditional financial options regarding trading hours and entry thresholds. The product initially supports TSLA and NVDA starting September 17, and will expand to underlyings such as QQQ, SOXL, MU, SKHY, SPCX, and SNDK. This is a European-style option with a fixed expiration date. Unlike traditional stock options, it enables 24/7 round-the-clock trading, covering US stock pre-market, after-hours, and weekend periods; it settles in USDT cash, requiring no physical stock holdings or linked brokerage accounts; the contract multiplier is 1, supporting fractional trading, which completely breaks the traditional options threshold of 100 shares per contract.

Odaily reports: Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis has released a report stating that hackers are increasingly leveraging open-source artificial intelligence (AI) to implant malware control instructions into on-chain transactions and smart contracts, with such cases surging approximately 440% in less than a year. Data shows that these incidents have risen from roughly 2 per day to approximately 11 per day. Attackers write malicious instructions on-chain to manipulate infected devices into stealing passwords and funds, and redirect assets to designated wallets; since on-chain records cannot be deleted, defense and interception are becoming increasingly difficult.The report notes that state-sponsored hackers from countries such as North Korea and Iran have become the primary drivers of such activity. Open-source models support local independent operation and modification, allowing them to directly bypass cloud-based defenses. However, the public and transparent nature of blockchain also leaves critical evidence for tracing attack infrastructure. (Bloomberg)
According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin Core 32.0 entered its final testing phase on September 14, with its official release scheduled for October 10. This update adds a transaction fee estimator based on real-time mempool status, enabling fee estimates to be lowered more quickly once network congestion subsides. It also enables multi-threaded parallel reading of transaction data to speed up node blockchain synchronization, defaulting to 8 threads. Security-wise, it resolves a wallet naming vulnerability on non-Windows systems since version 24.0 that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the node host via a specially crafted wallet name. Additionally, it patches an out-of-memory vulnerability in the newly added built-in web server; testing indicates that 16 unauthenticated connections can spike node memory usage from 46MB to roughly 3GB in approximately one minute. This update does not include any changes to Bitcoin's consensus rules.

CoinEx founder Yang Haipo posted on X regarding the shutdown and orderly wind-down of CoinEx, stating that CoinEx's asset reserve ratio currently exceeds 100%, and all user assets are fully backed by sufficient reserves and can be withdrawn normally.Regarding the reasons for the shutdown, Yang Haipo stated that CoinEx had been operating for nine years but ultimately failed to become an industry-leading exchange, while the security and compliance risks of operating a crypto exchange have become increasingly difficult to control. "Revenue can decline, but responsibility will not diminish. Taking on unlimited risk for limited revenue is no longer a rational choice."Yang Haipo also revealed that he had seriously considered selling CoinEx but ultimately decided against it. He stated that users entrusted their assets to CoinEx based on trust in the platform and, in many cases, in him personally, and therefore believed that handing over the platform and that trust to a new owner was not the right way to end this journey. In addition, CoinEx will ensure that users can withdraw their full balances and will buy back CET at unlimited quantities at its initial listing price of 0.005 USDT/CET.
