The implementation, however, was missing a critical verification. Zano disclosed that an attacker could construct a specially calculated asset identifier that still satisfied the network’s transaction proofs while slipping an arbitrary amount into a hidden output. “In short, every Zano transaction must prove that coins were created from consensus rules,” the team explained. “Because of a missing verification, an attacker could satisfy this proof while ‘hiding’ extra coins within the transaction.” Those coins weren’t decorative accounting entries. The team said: “These coins functioned as authentic $ZANO and could be spent normally.” The First Mint Sat Quietly for Nearly a Month…

The transactions by themselves don’t offer much proof of impending selling pressure unless the coins later arrive at an exchange or another recognizable liquidity venue. However, given that Bitcoin is currently trading close to $80,000 following a dramatic rebound, the timing merits consideration. According to the daily chart, Bitcoin is currently trading at about $79,850 after momentarily rising above $81,000. With the 20-day average close to $75,116, the 200-day average around $72,637, and longer intermediate averages between $69,000 and $70,000, the asset is still comfortably above its major moving averages. After the quick advance, momentum has somewhat subsided. Momentum is…

Why Are FIIs Still Selling Indian Stocks? Despite Wall Street’s positive outlook on the Indian stock market, foreign investors are still moving their funds out of the country. In September, FPIs have pulled out ₹20,974 crore from Indian equities as of September 19. This comes after investing ₹20,200 crore in July and ₹29,630 crore in August. As of September 24, FIIs recorded ₹14,837 crore of net selling in the NSE cash market. On September 24 alone, they dumped about ₹5,027 crore, while domestic institutional investors bought ₹4,301 crore. Thus, the increasing selling activity of foreign investors reveals that their approach…

The escalation matters far beyond geopolitics as Brent crude climbed toward $100 per barrel again amid renewed concerns about energy supplies. Higher oil prices can directly feed into inflation, making the Federal Reserve’s decision next week even harder. The US central bank has become another issue for $BTC. Chair Kevin Warsh adopted a distinctly more hawkish tone at Jackson Hole last week, emphasizing that inflation remains too high and that the Fed could still have “work to do.” The odds for a September rate hike jumped after the speech and went even higher after Friday’s jobs report. It showed that…

As newly mined supply becomes increasingly insignificant relative to the existing market, Woo argued that the halving’s ability to dictate $BTC’s broader price cycle weakens. Instead, the asset may begin moving more closely with TradFi’s six-to-eight-year short-term debt cycle. The halving framework worked remarkably well for much of bitcoin’s history. Now, though, the market structure has changed dramatically, perhaps mostly from the US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Current data shows that these financial products hold close to 1.3 million $BTC, which is over 6% of the circulating supply. Public companies with at least 1,000 $BTC currently own over a million units.…

As Cryptopolitan reported, reflection tokens were one of the new trends that caused a wave of launches. Along with the Robinhood chain, Solana was the main venue for memes reflecting other assets. The recent rise in launches boosted the revenues of the Raydium DEX, as well as the emerging StonkFun launchpad. Unlike regular memes, the new wave of reflection tokens seeks multiple types of pairings, including tokenized stock, RWA perpetual futures, other tokens, NFTs, and blue-chip crypto assets. This new model was adopted quickly and seems to be entering an even more active stage of user FOMO, automation, and competition.…

What the Data Shows Despite the overall market showing mixed signals, Solana’s continuous innovation through tools like the AI Copilot positions it favorably for developers seeking efficiency. The current lack of trading volume may suggest a cautious market, but the enhancements to developer tools indicate a forward-looking approach that could attract new projects and investment as the ecosystem matures. Solana’s unique architecture, combining Proof of Stake and Proof of History, further supports its attractiveness in the competitive blockchain arena. Solana is a high-performance blockchain that integrates Proof of Stake with Proof of History, enabling faster and cheaper transactions. The jurisdiction…
