Bitcoin fork asset BTCB2 once hit $1,799, with a fully diluted valuation of $20.9 billion calculated at a price of $1,000

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.

Approximately $764 million stolen from crypto projects in Q2, with 88.3% involving keys, signers, and infrastructure

in its Q2 2026 Security and Compliance Report, Hacken stated that institutional investors are expanding their due diligence scope from smart contract audits to continuous monitoring, signer control, and incident response preparedness. Among the 1,427 projects it tracked, only 9% had third-party monitoring, and 4% had monitoring, active bug bounties, and security audits simultaneously. The report shows that of the approximately $764 million stolen in Q2, 88.3% involved compromised keys, signers, and infrastructure.Hacken noted that 14 projects attacked in Q2 had previously completed audits, but most of the losses originated from areas outside the scope of traditional smart contract reviews. The report states that the affected components included signing devices, cross-chain bridge validators, backend infrastructure, admin keys, and deprecated but still active old contracts. The sample covered 1,427 projects with a market cap exceeding $1 million, listed among the top 50 centralized exchanges on the CoinGecko Trust Score, excluding wrapped assets, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets.
