Bitcoin Core officially announced the release of Bitcoin Core v31.0. This version includes several underlying updates and improvements, primarily: upgrading the GUI framework to Qt 6.8; increasing the default database cache from 450 MiB to 1024 MiB on systems with more than 4 GB of RAM; and adding support for the `-privatebroadcast` option to enable private transaction broadcasting. Additionally, to prevent fee estimation errors, the `-paytxfee` startup option—which previously allowed setting a static transaction fee—has been completely removed; users must now rely on automatic fee estimation or specify a fee rate per transaction. Furthermore, the new version applies privacy and security filtering to commands used during wallet recovery and migration.
According to the official announcement, Layer 1 public blockchain Pharos has unveiled the tokenomics for its native token PROS, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The initial supply allocation is as follows: Foundation Treasury (16%), Lab Co. Treasury (9%), Team (20%), Investors (20%), Ecosystem & Community (21%—including 6% for community airdrops: 1% unlocked at TGE and 5% reserved for future community growth and airdrop incentives), and Node & Liquidity Incentives (14%). Core team members and private-sale investors are subject to a 12-month lock-up period followed by a 36-month linear vesting schedule. Certain treasury and incentive allocations extend vesting periods to 48–60 months. PROS serves multiple functions: transaction fees, PoS staking, validator participation, governance, ecosystem incentives, and potential RWA-specific use cases. The staking issuance policy adopts a phased approach: zero inflation during the first six months following mainnet launch; starting in Month 7, annual inflation is set at 5%, subject to dynamic adjustment by the Foundation based on network operational conditions.
Aave risk service provider LlamaRisk has released an incident report: On April 18, 2026, the attacker exploited a vulnerability in Kelp’s LayerZero V2 Unichain-to-Ethereum rsETH routing (a 1-of-1 DVN configuration flaw), forged inbound packets, and illicitly released 116,500 rsETH from the Ethereum-side adapter. Of these, 89,567 rsETH were deposited as collateral into multiple Aave V3 markets—including Ethereum Core and Arbitrum—enabling the borrowing of approximately 82,650 WETH (valued at ~$191 million) and 821 wstETH. Currently, only 40,373 rsETH remain in the adapter, while the total claimable rsETH on the remote chain stands at 152,577—creating a substantial shortfall. Depending on the loss allocation methodology, Aave faces two potential bad-debt scenarios: - Scenario 1 (global pro-rata allocation): Estimated bad debt of ~$123.7 million, with Ethereum Core bearing the greatest pressure; - Scenario 2 (loss confined to L2s): Estimated bad debt of ~$230.1 million, with Mantle facing a WETH reserve shortfall of up to 71.45% and Arbitrum facing a 26.67% shortfall. Following the incident, Aave Protocol Guardians and Risk Administrators immediately froze rsETH/wrsETH reserves across all 11 affected markets.

Bitget officially launched its CFD copy trading feature today, extending its copy trading services to the forex, gold, crude oil, and stock index markets. Amid escalating global macroeconomic volatility and growing cross-asset allocation demand among crypto users, Bitget’s CFD business has recently achieved a single-day trading volume exceeding $6 billion. This new feature leverages Bitget’s mature copy trading infrastructure: users can follow professional traders’ strategies with a minimum investment of just $50 USDT—further lowering the barrier to entry for retail users accessing traditional financial markets. At the product level, CFD copy trading is deeply integrated with the MT5 infrastructure. Account onboarding and withdrawal processes are fully automated, completing in under three seconds. In terms of mechanics, Bitget employs a High-Water Mark (HWM) profit-sharing model, distributing commissions only on newly generated profits from copied trades—ensuring fair and transparent profit allocation. Eligible traders can earn up to 30% commission. Core metrics are updated hourly, and profits are settled daily—enhancing overall transparency and traceability. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated: “Copy trading lowers execution barriers, enabling more users to participate in global macro asset allocation. CFD copy trading forms a core component of Bitget’s UEX strategy, which—powered by a unified account and USDT margin system—allows users to seamlessly trade cryptocurrencies, forex, commodities, and stock indices within a single platform.”
According to The Block, Galaxy Digital released its full-year 2025 financial results. Although the company reported a net loss of $241 million for the year, its core business achieved profitability on a non-GAAP basis.

He emphasized that the industry is shifting from “narrative-driven” to “infrastructure-driven,” and Galaxy will continue to focus on core areas including the institutional market, asset management, onchain infrastructure, and AI data centers.
