Odaily News: Zach Pandl, Head of Research at digital asset management firm Grayscale, said in an analysis on September 10 that even if Congress fails to pass the CLARITY Act this year, U.S. crypto regulation can still advance in areas such as stablecoins, token issuance, tokenized securities, and perpetual futures.U.S. President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025, establishing a regulatory framework for the issuance of payment stablecoins. The law requires issuers to hold full reserves and publicly disclose the composition of reserves on a monthly basis, and prohibits misleading claims that tokens are federally insured, backed by the U.S. government, or legal tender.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, which would allow qualifying projects to raise no more than $5 million over four years, or no more than $75 million in any 12-month period. The related exemptions and investment contract safe harbor remain in the proposal stage, with the public comment period closing on October 20.The near-term procedural milestone for the CLARITY Act is a cloture vote on the motion to proceed scheduled for September 15. This procedural vote requires 60 votes to pass and is not a final vote. Grayscale said the bill would still help clarify the division of regulatory authority between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), but its failure to pass would not halt regulatory measures already underway.

Strategy has released the latest edition of its "Bitcoin Investor Guide," in which the report notes that as institutional access and market infrastructure gradually mature, Bitcoin is evolving from an early speculative asset into a foundational asset of digital capital markets. Its long-term value is built on scarcity, open access, global liquidity, and independent verification, and it may absorb some of the monetary premium currently attached to gold, real estate, equities, bonds, and art.As of September 4, BTC was priced at approximately $79,809, about 23.3% above its 200-week moving average of $64,715; its return over the past year was approximately -28.3%, with a 10-year annualized return of about 62.8%. During the same period, Bitcoin's 30-day average trading volume was approximately $28.3 billion, open interest stood at roughly $96 billion, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively held about 1.27 million BTC, and total network hashrate was approximately 935 EH/s.On the risk side, Strategy cautions that Bitcoin remains a highly volatile asset and carries no principal repayment guarantee; different holding methods such as self-custody, third-party custody, ETPs, and derivatives each carry operational, legal, and counterparty risks. Strategy also discloses that the company itself holds a large amount of Bitcoin and has a financial interest tied to BTC's price.
Odaily News: Crypto asset management firm Grayscale estimates that Zcash mining rigs generate daily mining rewards roughly 2x those of Bitcoin mining rigs, and about 4x on a per-unit-of-electricity basis. Zcash mining activity has grown to more than 2.5x its level at the start of the year.Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, said that at current valuations, Zcash mining profitability is relatively high, as token price gains have driven up mining rewards and encouraged more hash rate to join. Grayscale believes that more hash rate can support network security.The comparison uses the Bitmain S23 Hydro and Bitmain Z15 Pro as samples, assuming an electricity price of $0.05 per kilowatt-hour, full-load operation, and excluding transaction fees. Pool fees, cooling, other operating expenses, and equipment costs are not included in the calculation, and actual profitability is still affected by these factors.Bitcoin miners' total daily rewards are about $35 million, higher than Zcash's roughly $2 million. Grayscale's Zcash investment product assets under management surpassed $500 million on September 8 and recorded more than $70 million in cumulative external inflows. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily Reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Electrum has released version 4.8.2, introducing multiple security fixes and strengthening the security of its Bitcoin wallet codebase. The fixes are based on reports from researchers including Bitcoin Red Team, Calle, l0rinc, haoxucu, and m0wer. This version fixes a critical backup issue affecting certain Lightning wallets that use non-deterministic keys and anchor channels. Previously, affected wallets' channel backups and full wallet backups may have been missing the keys required to move funds on-chain after requesting a remote force close. Affected users will receive a warning when starting Electrum and should export new backups, as old backups cannot correctly recover funds in this scenario. This version also strengthens Lightning HTLC verification, rejects previously accepted malformed xpub/xprv keys, expands codebase security hardening, and prevents the Android QR code scanner from reading screenshots. This is Electrum's third security-focused release since July, following versions 4.8.0 and 4.8.1.

SlowMist has disclosed that the Liquid Network was attacked on September 6 via a Rangeproof verification cache key collision vulnerability. The attacker minted approximately 3,998.5 L-BTC without collateral — with no corresponding BTC peg-in — and then within minutes converted them to BTC on the Bitcoin mainnet via peg-out. After the incident, approximately 3,400 BTC was returned to the Liquid Federation peg wallet, but approximately 598.5 BTC remains under the attacker's control.SlowMist noted that the root cause of the vulnerability lies in the fact that the Rangeproof verification cache key in Elements did not include length prefixes when concatenating multiple variable-length fields, allowing different parameter combinations to potentially generate the same cache key. The attacker triggered a cache collision by constructing transactions, causing nodes to hit a "verification passed" cached result, thereby bypassing secp256k1_rangeproof_verify and the minimum amount check, ultimately accepting outputs not backed by real assets and completing the L-BTC minting. SlowMist stated that it has traced the fund flows on the Bitcoin side and completed its analysis of the incident.
