Odaily News: Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich published a letter to shareholders stating that the board of directors has decided to adjust the Series 10 stock subscription rights. This adjustment cancels 41% of the related shares, resets the conversion ratio to 1:410, which is the level prior to the September 2025 international offering, and writes off over $220 million in warrant value.With the cancellation of the warrants, the company's fully diluted share count decreases accordingly, and the fully diluted Bitcoin holdings per share increase by approximately 8.8%.Under the new terms, unvested warrants will become exercisable in tranches in 2029, 2030, and 2031. The originally planned 20% employee incentive pool warrants will no longer be transferred and will be cancelled as well. The company stated that it will work with global compensation consultants to design a new incentive plan to attract new employees.
Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that after the CFTC approved Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual contracts as futures products, uncertainty remains over how traders should report gains to the IRS. If the product is recognized as a regulated futures contract under Section 1256 of the U.S. tax code, the related gains are typically treated as 60% long-term capital gains and 40% short-term capital gains, regardless of the holding period. CME believes that Kalshi's perpetual contracts are actually swaps, and swaps are explicitly outside the scope of Section 1256. The CFTC's classification supports the view that they are futures products, but it is not binding on the IRS. Until the IRS, U.S. Congress, or courts directly address Bitcoin perpetual contracts, their tax treatment remains undetermined.

Odaily reports: The Bank of Italy (Banca d'Italia) has issued a notice requiring payment service providers (PSPs) and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to continuously review financial transactions using procedures related to the Travel Rule, with no minimum amount threshold.Relevant institutions must verify the names of the originator and beneficiary when establishing a customer relationship, when the EU Council makes a decision, and at the time of each transaction, and cross-check them against lists of sanctioned individuals and entities. Automated systems must not set a minimum amount threshold that limits transaction review, and transfer delays may be accepted when necessary to strengthen sanctions screening. (Bitcoin.com News)
Bitcoin News posted on X stating that Samson Mow and Bitcoin Red Team researcher Calle are engaged in a public dispute over whether security warnings related to a Liquid Network exploit were properly handled. Calle claims that Blockstream did not act on the Red Team's email, ultimately resulting in a loss of 600 BTC; Mow responded by saying "no email was ignored." Calle stated that once Blockstream restores normal Liquid operations and publishes a post-mortem report, the Red Team will release a full account of the disclosure process. Mow separately warned against blindly trusting AI-generated security reports, saying that unverified fixes could introduce new vulnerabilities, and criticized researchers who prioritize pursuing "clout" over protecting Bitcoin.

Odaily News: Researchers from institutions including the Ethereum Foundation, Theta Labs, and StarkWare have jointly published a paper, using AI coding agents to deeply optimize the core operations of Shor's algorithm. The computing resources required for a potential quantum attack on Bitcoin and Ethereum (secp256k1 cryptographic system) have been reduced by more than 50% compared to Google's benchmark in March of this year. The number of logical qubits required for the circuit has been compressed to 1,151, and later versions have even been reduced to 813. Although current quantum hardware still cannot directly break public chains, the research shows that pure algorithmic optimization is significantly narrowing the time window for the quantum threat. The researchers emphasize that quantum-resistant upgrades take a long time and cannot be applied retroactively, and the industry needs to prepare defenses in advance. (Coindesk)
Liquid Network announced on X platform that as of September 10 at 10:00 (UTC), the network has entered a controlled recovery phase. As a precautionary measure, the network has resumed block production but is not yet processing transactions, and is continuously monitoring to confirm full network stability. Blockstream stated that the required Functionary node and bridge node updates have been successfully deployed, and Functionary nodes are now signing and validating blocks as expected. Meanwhile, pegging operations, including PAK-authorized Peg-out, remain paused, and the network is in the final recovery phase, including restoring BTC/LBTC reserves. Liquid Network reminds users to be wary of scammers using this incident to publish fake update websites or messages, and to never transfer funds to unknown channels or disclose private keys or seed phrases.
according to the Osmosis team, a solution proposal addressing the previous Nomic chain nBTC incident has now been published and has officially entered community discussion.

The plan still requires governance discussion and voting, and asset seizure or collateral replenishment has not yet been completed.

Garrett Jin released his latest weekly outlook, stating that Bitcoin pulled back after hitting a high of $82,300 last week, indicating that resistance above $80,000 remains strong, and the current consolidation phase is not yet over—the market may not even be halfway through this process.Regarding price ranges, if BTC reclaims $82,500 with stronger spot demand, the next resistance zone is $83,000 to $86,000; if spot demand remains weak, the primary focus is support at $76,000 to $77,000, and if that is broken, a rapid drop to $74,000 to $75,000 is possible, with the key demand support level near $72,000 to $72,500.Garrett Jin maintains his judgment that there is about a 70% probability the bottom of this cycle is at $60,000. He stated that while he remains constructive on the macro outlook through year-end, he is taking lower risk exposure in the near term.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of Commerce is allocating up to $100 million each to three quantum computing companies—Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantinuum—through the CHIPS Act, totaling up to $300 million. The funding will support the expansion of hardware, manufacturing, and error-correction systems, alongside the simultaneous acquisition of minority stakes in all three firms. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum developers are accelerating post-quantum cryptography upgrade initiatives. The Ethereum Foundation has set December 2029 as the deadline for foundational-layer quantum-resistant upgrades encompassing the execution, consensus, and data layers. While Bitcoin has no unified timeline, two proposals—BIP-360 (post-quantum output types) and BIP-361 (phasing out ECDSA and Schnorr signatures)—are advancing rapidly, with researchers likewise identifying 2029 as the critical window to complete a trusted migration path.
