Odaily News Silicon Valley angel investor Liron Shapira (@liron) posted on X this morning: "I predict (with 50% confidence): due to AI shaking the security and stability guarantees people once believed Bitcoin possessed, BTC's price will plummet more than 50% within the next two years."Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rebutted this, stating: "I hold the exact opposite view. My basic reasoning is that, in the long run, I am quite optimistic about network security. I believe the main challenge lies in smoothly navigating the transition period. Moreover, I think BTC can at least properly handle all problems that do not require social consensus (such as upgrading clients, mining pools, etc., to counter network-level attacks — these fall into this category). Additionally, I believe the probability of hash algorithms or proof-of-work mechanisms being genuinely broken is extremely slim. I would have wanted to bet with you, but considering my current asset allocation (I guess you hold the same view regarding Ethereum ETH), I have already staked about 90% of my net worth on this bet."
According to Odaily, monitoring by Galaxy's Head of Research revealed that Liquid's white hat hacker stated they would return most of the 4,000 BTC after the Liquid Network vulnerability is patched. The hacker communicated with Blockstream through OP_RETURN messages and PGP-encrypted text: In block 965,822, a Blockstream address sent 1,000 satoshis with the message "Please contact the security team via the Blockstream website"; in block 965,865, the hacker sent an encrypted message to their own key, accompanied by a detached PGP signature that can be verified using the key published by Blockstream; in block 965,869, the hacker sent 1,000 satoshis to the Liquid federation peg-in wallet via a self-spend transaction with the message "Can we return the majority of the funds to the federation address?"; in block 965,875, the hacker conducted another self-spend transaction, sending 1,000 satoshis to the federation peg-in wallet and leaving an OP_RETURN message: "Please fix the vulnerability first. As of the latest commit, there is risk on-chain. Please ensure every node completes the patch update. Once the fix is confirmed, we will securely transfer the funds back." Relevant technical details were encrypted via PGP messages to the key published by Blockstream, readable only by Blockstream.
Odaily News: Bitcoin fork asset BTCB2 hit an all-time high of $1,799 on September 5. Over the past 4 hours, its price has fluctuated between 750 and 1,000 USDC; the Neoxa USDC market recorded a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $1 million.BTCB2 originated from a chain split that occurred on August 8, 2026, at block height 961,632. The network subsequently changed its proof-of-work algorithm to Blake2 and reduced block size, and it can now be mined using Blake2-compatible ASIC miners.Neoxa Exchange and Nonkyc.io have listed BTCB2, with the former offering BTC, USDC, and USDT trading pairs, and the latter offering a USDT trading pair. Both platforms have limited liquidity, and CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko have not yet listed the asset.Based on a BTCB2 price of $1,000, its fully diluted valuation stands at approximately $20.9 billion. Since UTXOs need to be split from Bitcoin first, transactions may otherwise be vulnerable to replay attacks; the network's hash rate has risen by 30.41% over the past 7 days, reaching approximately 5.1 PH/s.

Odaily报道 The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency through court-authorized actions and gained control of domains and servers allegedly used by Hamas to raise funds and recruit supporters. The operations involved three seizures conducted on March 25, June 25, and October 10, 2025.Investigators identified an encrypted chat group that directed supporters to fundraising websites and tracked cryptocurrency addresses that were rotated periodically. The operation also obtained information on thousands of individuals who had contacted Hamas online, attempting to make donations using cryptocurrency or traditional methods.This action expands on the $200,000 cryptocurrency seizure announced in March 2025. At least 17 related addresses have transferred over $1.5 million since October 2024, with funds passing through exchanges, over-the-counter brokers, and accounts linked to locations including Turkey.

Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that El Salvador's President, Nayib Bukele, has accused El País of publishing "fake news." The newspaper had previously reported that El Salvador had transferred the "majority ownership and control" of its holdings of over 7,763 bitcoins to private operators. Bukele called the claim "completely false" and stated that the International Monetary Fund statement cited by El País referred to the transfer of shares in the Chivo wallet, not El Salvador's strategic bitcoin reserve. He also accused the media outlet of "blatantly" lying to its readers.
Odaily News: Over the past 18 years, the Bitcoin market has repeatedly seen the narrative of "this time is different," yet the structure of each cycle has largely continued. In 2014, 2017, 2020-2021, and 2024-2025, BTC’s maximum drawdowns were approximately 85%, 84%, 77%, and 53%, respectively, showing a gradual narrowing trend.Alex Thorn, Head of Firmwide Research at Galaxy Digital, released a chart stating that the current BTC drawdown is significantly smaller than those of previous cycles. Analyst Willy Woo noted that as the supply shock from halvings diminishes, Bitcoin may be transitioning from a four-year cycle to a six-to-eight-year cycle, although this assessment cannot yet be confirmed.In previous cycles, gains from the low point to the next all-time high were approximately 580x, 130x, 22x, and 8x, respectively. Analyst James Check pointed out that Bitcoin’s price floor has risen each cycle, while its peak has remained relatively stable. Jesse Myers stated that BTC may have just entered a two-to-three-year bull market. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News, Circle has published a statement on the cirBTC reserve mechanism, stating that each cirBTC is backed 1:1 by one native BTC and can be redeemed for native BTC at a 1:1 ratio. The corresponding BTC is held by Circle-affiliated entities and custodied by Circle National Trust, which is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The reserve assets are segregated from Circle's corporate assets and are used solely to protect the interests of cirBTC holders. cirBTC is currently live on Ethereum and will receive native support once the Arc mainnet launches, with future expansion to more blockchains. Circle also provides on-chain reserve verification through a public BTC reserve address and the Chainlink Proof of Reserve mechanism, allowing market participants to compare the scale of reserved BTC against the circulating supply of cirBTC across all supported chains.
: The G7 cybersecurity working group stated in its latest report that quantum computing poses both a security threat and an economic threat to public and private institutions, and related organizations should immediately begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).The working group noted that the migration process could take several years, as attackers can already collect and store encrypted data today and decrypt it once sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge. Quantum computing could also break digital signatures, leading to identity theft and exposing companies and their supply chains.The report did not mention cryptocurrencies, but similar public-key cryptography is used for blockchain wallets and transaction authorization. Current quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography, but developers are considering post-quantum solutions such as BIP-360.Ethereum researchers plan to replace multiple cryptographic components used by accounts, validators, and applications. The Solana Foundation has tested post-quantum signatures on its testnet and launched an optional hash-based vault. The G7 working group also urged governments to support related research, public-private cooperation, and national PQC strategies. (Decrypt)

Odaily News The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has published responses to its request for comments on "Novel ETFs," funds that may hold crypto assets or employ unconventional strategies. The divergence in opinions centers on whether filing documents should remain public before the fund begins trading, and how fast the review process should be.Crypto asset manager Grayscale and the crypto policy organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) support an optional confidential filing period to reduce the likelihood of competitors submitting imitation filings. Charles Schwab opposes full confidentiality and suggests disclosing filings at least 75 days before a fund launches.Grayscale requests the SEC to respond within 45 days, while CCI argues that the confidential process should not extend the automatic effectiveness or review deadlines. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) supports shortening the review timeline but emphasizes that the rigor of the review should not be reduced. Trading firm Jane Street, however, contends that accelerating the process could lead to lower product quality, competitiveness, and liquidity.The U.S. currently has 174 ETFs related to crypto assets. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) manages approximately $61 billion in assets, accounting for roughly 38% of the total assets of related ETFs. The SEC will determine whether adjustments will be made to the confidentiality arrangement and review speed of filings. (Bitcoin.com News)
