According to GlobeNewswire, SkyAI (Nasdaq: SKYA) major shareholder Bastion Trading (holding approximately 9.99%) has publicly questioned the company’s cash tender offer plan. Bastion Trading noted that SkyAI quietly divested approximately 70% of its SOL treasury reserve (falling from over 2 million to roughly 600,000 tokens) in less than a month without timely disclosure to shareholders, potentially violating information disclosure regulations. Meanwhile, the company’s board of directors faced overwhelming opposition votes at the 2026 annual general meeting, casting doubt on its legitimacy. Bastion Trading demands that the company fully disclose the SOL sales details, restructure the board of directors, and improve the acquisition terms (increasing the offer price from $3.00 to at least $3.50); otherwise, it will not participate in the current tender offer and reserves the right to take legal action.
According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned that the rapid advancement of AI could accelerate mathematical attacks against the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), potentially breaking existing cryptographic systems within months under the worst-case scenario, and called on the industry to initiate "bunker mode"—transferring assets to new addresses with previously unexposed public keys to mitigate risk. Several industry insiders, however, expressed reservations. Coinbase Chief Cryptographer Yehuda Lindell stated there is currently "no evidence" that the mathematical assumptions underpinning ECDSA have been weakened; Trezor Bitcoin analyst Lucien Bourdon similarly noted that migrating assets could backfire and inadvertently create opportunities for scams. MetaMask founder Taylor Monahan was even more direct, asserting that if elliptic curve cryptography were truly compromised, "the entire world would go to zero," rendering bunker mode ineffective. Meanwhile, Ethereum has laid out a post-quantum roadmap based on hash-based signatures and ZK proofs, while public blockchains such as Solana and NEAR are also exploring their own quantum-safe alternatives, though concrete deployment timelines remain unset.

Crypto trader Ansem (@blknoiz06) shared trading insights, noting that capturing rotation opportunities only to give back all the profits is pointless. He mentioned that while he profited significantly from altcoin trading in 2017, his failure to take profits promptly resulted in substantial drawdowns of his gains. By the 2020–2021 cycle, he had learned to better identify narrative trends early and generate compounded returns by rotating across assets such as SOL, LUNA, and AVAX. Ansem emphasized that identifying opportunities early and knowing when to take profits are two equally essential core skills in crypto trading.

Odaily News: Solana tokenized silver project Dominion has announced its shutdown. The team stated that a September security incident led to a large amount of SILV being exploited and sold off, followed by a liquidity collapse, loss of operating capital, and damage to market structure. The capital required for rebuilding now exceeds the project's remaining resources. Dominion has allocated most of its remaining liquid funds to a refund plan, allowing eligible pre-attack SILV holders to exit at $63 per token. SILV was originally designed as a Solana token backed 1:1 by physical silver, with each token corresponding to 1 troy ounce of silver. On September 11, attackers gained control of its 3/5 multisig keys and dumped approximately 46,900 SILV into a DEX with thin liquidity. The notional value before the attack was approximately $3 million, but only about $238,000 was ultimately cashed out.
