Odaily Odaily News: The Bitcoin BIP-110 forced signaling window will open at block height 961632, expected around August 9, 2026. As of 8:40 AM (EDT) on July 27, the chain height is 959842, approximately 1790 blocks away from this activation block. The current BIP-110 signaling support rate is around 2.64%. BIP-110, officially named "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork," proposes to limit the size of certain data fields within Bitcoin transactions, targeting Ordinals-like inscriptions, large OP_RETURN payloads, and similar high-data-volume use cases. If activated, the restrictions will take effect at block 965664 and automatically expire after 52,416 blocks (approximately one year). Current signaling support primarily comes from Ocean, independent miners, and small-scale operators. Major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2pool have not yet switched to supporting the proposal. Foundry has requested clients to vote based on their average hashrate; only when “support” votes exceed 51% of the participating weighted hashrate will the pool switch all its blocks to signaling support. If the current signaling level persists until block 961632, nodes enforcing BIP-110 will reject blocks that have not signaled version bit 4 and will instead follow the minority of blocks that do signal. Unupgraded nodes will continue to accept both signaling and non-signaling blocks, and will follow the chain with the most cumulative proof of work.

: Industry insiders indicate that after the US Senate reconvenes, it will enter a critical window of approximately four weeks, determining whether the Clarity Act can pass this year. The bill needs to complete the finalized text, Senate debate, and voting before the August recess, and secure at least 60 votes of support in the Senate. Current negotiation focuses include whether to retain the exemption clause for non-custodial developers within the "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act," and establishing an "ethics framework" for official conflicts of interest regarding President Trump's cryptocurrency business interests. Meanwhile, the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and the absence of Mitch McConnell have weakened Republican voting power, increasing the importance of securing support from Democratic senators.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) recently announced adjustments to some calculation methods for the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE). The relevant changes are expected to be reflected in the data revision scheduled for release on September 30, 2026. Market estimates broadly indicate that this adjustment will likely lower the core PCE inflation rate by approximately 0.2 percentage points. Current data shows that over the 12 months ending May 2026, core PCE inflation stood at 3.4%, remaining above the Federal Reserve's 2% target since March 2021. The BEA's primary adjustments this time focus on three specific sectors: portfolio management and investment advisory services, computer software and accessories, and legal services, modifying their respective price calculation methods.Former Federal Reserve Governor Miran stated in a speech last December that "some of what should have been recorded as an increase in the quantity of service consumption has instead been recorded as a price increase." In May of this year, Miran, along with Fed economists Alessandro Barbarino and Anthony M. Diercks, published a paper analyzing the shortcomings of existing statistical methods, including issues with the measurement of products like portable storage devices and video games. JPMorgan economist Abiel Reinhart remarked, "‘Grand Theft Auto 6’ might also have a chance to influence the U.S. Treasury yield curve."
GreyScale Research’s report states that as the valuation framework for crypto assets gradually aligns with traditional financial analysis, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with clear cash flows and robust token value-capture mechanisms are attracting increased attention. Using Aave as an example, the report notes that Aave—the leading on-chain lending protocol—generates revenue primarily from lending spreads, treasury yields, and GHO-related activities (GHO being its native stablecoin). Following continuous improvements to its governance mechanism, the linkage between the protocol’s economics and the value accruing to AAVE token holders has strengthened.
DeFi structured protocol Thetanuts Finance issued a statement responding to a security incident involving one of its Vaults. According to preliminary findings, the affected Vault was an outdated contract version deprecated and fully migrated years ago, and bears no relation to any currently active contracts or products. Further investigation into the details is ongoing, and a comprehensive post-mortem report will be published once additional information becomes available. Earlier reports indicated that Thetanuts Finance may have suffered a hack, with estimated losses totaling approximately $2.1 million.

GitHub posted on X platform, sharing more investigation details regarding the unauthorized access incident to its internal repositories. Yesterday, GitHub detected and contained an attack on an employee's device involving a malicious VS Code plugin. GitHub has removed the malicious plugin version, isolated the endpoint, and immediately initiated an incident response.Current assessment indicates that this activity only involved the theft of GitHub's internal repositories. The attackers' claim of approximately 3,800 repositories aligns with GitHub's investigation direction so far. GitHub has taken swift action to mitigate risks, rotating critical keys yesterday and overnight, and prioritizing the most impactful credentials. GitHub will continue analyzing logs, verifying key rotations, and monitoring subsequent activities. A more comprehensive report will be released upon completion of the investigation.
Odaily Odaily, THORChain posted on platform X that its developers have released an incident update on Discord. Current evidence points to a node thor16uc...cn84q, which recently joined the network, as being associated with the attack. This node is operated by a single malicious actor. The primary hypothesis is that the attacker exploited a vulnerability in the GG20 TSS implementation, causing sensitive key material of vault participants to leak over time. This ultimately enabled the reconstruction of the vault's private key and the execution of unauthorized outgoing transactions.Regarding network status, the network has been paused after multiple node operators executed `make pause`. RUNE transfers and on-chain observation may resume within approximately 12 hours, but transactions, LP operations, signing, and other sensitive operations remain paused.Discussed recovery plans include slashing the affected node's bond, covering losses with protocol-owned liquidity (POL), or other community-driven solutions. THORSec and Outrider Analytics are continuing their investigation. The Treasury is gathering forensic data and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Full functional recovery is expected to take several days or longer.
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that privacy is becoming a core infrastructure direction for the next phase of the crypto industry. Recently, three institutional-grade blockchains focused on stablecoins and asset tokenization—Arc, Canton, and Tempo—have accumulated over $1 billion in total funding, indicating a rapidly growing demand from institutions for "privacy-friendly on-chain financial systems."Among them, stablecoin issuer Circle contributed $222 million in funding for Arc, giving it a valuation of approximately $3 billion; Digital Asset’s Canton blockchain is reportedly seeking $300 million in funding at a $2 billion valuation; and Tempo, backed by Stripe and Paradigm, has previously completed $500 million in funding at a valuation of $5 billion.Hougan noted that this funding wave reflects three major trends: the gradual clarification of the U.S. regulatory framework, increased institutional demand for on-chain privacy, and intensified competition among new blockchain networks supported by large enterprises. Current public blockchains still face structural trade-offs between speed, cost, security, and privacy. However, scenarios involving stablecoins and RWA tokenization require systems that simultaneously offer high performance, compliance, and privacy, making “verifiable privacy” a critical prerequisite for institutional adoption of on-chain finance.Hougan further stated that, for enterprises, “all transactions being publicly broadcast” is not an advantage but a potential flaw. In the future, users and institutions may find it increasingly difficult to accept a fully transparent on-chain financial environment. He believes that privacy capabilities could become the “killer app” driving the crypto industry into its next phase of mainstream adoption. Additionally, following the passage of the U.S. Genius Act in 2025, regulatory certainty has significantly increased, providing a clearer policy foundation for institutional funds to enter the crypto infrastructure space.

the Ethereum Foundation has disclosed the outcomes of a recent interoperability meeting among core developers held in Svalbard, Norway, and provided an update on the key technical progress of the next upgrade phase, "Glamsterdam." During the meeting, multi-client teams collaborated on network scaling and execution layer optimization, making progress in several areas. Developers confirmed that a "credible path" post-Glamsterdam has been agreed upon, based on the combined results of ePBS, BAL optimizations, and the EIP-8037 repricing mechanism.On the execution layer side, ePBS (External Proposer Separation) has been running stably on the multi-client Glamsterdam-devnet. The external block builder process has completed end-to-end testing, covering nearly all client implementations. Meanwhile, EIP-8037 has been finalized, establishing the fixed cost_per_state_byte model and completing the full repricing parameter output on bal-devnet-6.The expansion track "Hegotá" has also made progress. FOCIL-related prototypes now have operable implementations. The scope of requirements for Account Abstraction (AA) has been defined, and the next phase will move to multi-client devnet verification. Current development efforts remain focused on the final delivery of Glamsterdam, while simultaneously advancing the Hegotá expansion design and the subsequent Strawmap roadmap evolution. The devnet is now live, and features like FOCIL are expected to be further deepened in the next phase of testing.At an organizational level, this interop meeting also marked the official start of leadership restructuring within the Protocol Cluster. The new leads include Will Corcoran, Kev Wedderburn, and Fredrik. Will Corcoran will oversee zkVM proofing and post-quantum consensus coordination, Kev Wedderburn will lead zkEVM research and development, and Fredrik will be responsible for protocol security and the Trillion Dollar Security project. Former Protocol Cluster leadership team members Barnabé Monnot and Tim Beiko will gradually step back from management roles, while Alex Stokes is entering a sabbatical cycle. The Foundation stated that during their tenure, the Protocol team successfully advanced modularization and drove the Fusaka upgrade to launch (December 2025), introducing PeerDAS and increasing mainnet gas capacity.

on Sunday that after the Department of Justice concluded its investigation into Powell, Republican Senator Thom Tillis dropped his opposition to Kevin Warsh's Federal Reserve Chair nomination confirmation process. The Senate Banking Committee ultimately voted 13 to 11 in favor of sending Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve Chair to a full Senate vote. According to the official website of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, the vote is scheduled for April 29th at 10:00 AM Eastern Time.On the same day, the Federal Open Market Committee will also announce its latest interest rate decision. Current Chair Jerome Powell will preside over his 63rd—and potentially final—press conference since taking the helm of the Federal Reserve eight years ago. Powell's term as Federal Reserve Chair expires on May 15th, but his term as a Board member runs until January 31, 2028. Whether Powell will also step down from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors has become a key focus for the market.
According to Insight Korea, South Korea’s digital bank K Bank has established a strategic partnership with blockchain company Ripple to advance the validation of next-generation blockchain-based cross-border remittance technologies. The two parties will focus on evaluating optimization opportunities in remittance speed, cost structure, and transaction transparency through Ripple’s Global Payments Network and infrastructure. Current collaboration includes a digital wallet proof-of-concept, joint development of cross-border remittance models, and expansion into the digital assets domain.

Odaily News Aurise Foundation announced the launch of the yield-bearing gold token XAUE on Ethereum, designed to serve as a yield-bearing treasury for Tether Gold (XAU₮). XAUE targets compliant institutional participants, introducing crypto-native yield to traditional non-yielding gold through quantitative strategies and institutional lending, transforming it into a programmable and capital-efficient on-chain asset.Current ecosystem partners Aurelion and Antalpha have jointly contributed 16,052 XAU₮ (approximately $76 million) to XAUE. The protocol employs an exchange rate growth model, where the gold value pegged to each XAUE increases as yields accumulate, and it will integrate with more decentralized finance protocols such as DEXs in the future.
According to the Aave Governance Forum, Gordon Liao, a Circle team member, has submitted an ARFC proposal recommending a two-step adjustment to the USDC interest rate model parameters on Aave v3 Ethereum Core to address the current liquidity shortage in the USDC pool. Current context: Following the rsETH incident on April 18, the USDC pool utilization has remained persistently near 100%, with available liquidity falling below $3 million. The borrowing rate has been stuck at the 14% cap for an extended period, and the pool’s total supply has contracted by approximately $60 million over the past 24 hours. As a result, the market is unable to clear via price mechanisms. The proposal’s core measures are as follows: Step 1 (to be executed immediately by Risk Administrators): Increase Slope 2 from 10% to 40%, decrease the optimal utilization rate from 92% to 87%, and temporarily suspend the Slope 2 risk oracle for USDC. Step 2 (to be completed within 5–7 days via governance vote): Further increase Slope 2 to 50% and reduce the optimal utilization rate to 85%. The proposal argues that many current borrowers are insensitive to interest rates and primarily borrow to bypass withdrawal queues and exit positions. Active leverage, meanwhile, is key to attracting new suppliers. Raising the maximum supply rate to the 40%–50% range is expected to draw in USDC liquidity within hours, driving utilization below the kink point and restoring the market’s normal clearing functionality.
According to Cointelegraph, Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zonda is mired in a withdrawal crisis. Current CEO Przemysław Kral released a video statement disclosing for the first time a cold wallet address holding approximately 4,503 BTC (currently valued at roughly $334 million), stating that the private key for this wallet was never transferred during the company’s leadership transition. Kral explained that the private key should have been handed over by Zonda’s founder and former CEO, Sylwester Suszek—but Suszek has been missing since March 2022. Kral denied allegations of fund misappropriation, asserting that Suszek’s disappearance itself proves his innocence. Earlier, blockchain platform Recoveris published an analytical report indicating a sharp decline in Zonda’s hot wallet balances—suggesting insolvency—and triggering a wave of withdrawal requests. Zonda typically processes around 100,000 withdrawals annually, yet received over 25,000 such requests within just a few hours around April 6. Kral stated that the company will pursue legal action against these false accusations and reaffirmed its commitment to fulfilling its financial obligations to customers.
