The 143,956,168 $SHIB tokens burned did not come in one lump sum but rather from various burn transactions that may have originated from Coinbase transactions and trading fees. These burn transactions are sent to unrecoverable “dead wallets” with no known private key, are recorded on-chain, and are reported by community trackers such as Shibburn. The Shiba Inu community pays close attention to burns, especially from major platforms, as they gradually reduce the token’s circulating supply. In the last 24 hours, 68.29 million $SHIB were burned, and Coinbase contributed 47,419,390 $SHIB to that total. The daily burn rate is up 154.33%…

However, Jameson Lopp, who has spent the past several months dealing with the aftermath of AI attacks on Bitcoin infrastructure, believes fears of an imminent break in fundamental cryptographic mathematics are inflated and have little to do with reality. While theorists panic over a hypothetical breach of the foundations of encryption, hackers are using AI for much more down-to-earth purposes — automatically searching for ordinary human bugs in application code and wallet firmware. As someone who has been battling AI acceleration of vulnerability discovery for several months now, I think worrying about cryptographic breaks is getting ahead of ourselves -…

For crypto markets, the significance lies less in the barrels themselves than in whether they can push refined-fuel prices low enough to shift inflation and interest-rate expectations. Bitcoin remains sensitive to changes in Treasury yields, the dollar and broader liquidity conditions after the Federal Reserve raised rates last month. The Sept. 16 increase lifted the Fed’s target range by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4%, with policymakers again citing elevated inflation. A sustained decline in energy costs could weaken one source of price pressure, though the G7 plan alone gives investors little basis to expect a reversal in monetary…

The migration itself is small. In JavaScript, developers replace the AccountBalanceQuery import with MirrorNodeAccountBalanceQuery and keep the same setAccountId and execute pattern. Java and Go follow flows. Rust, Swift and C++ applications can still access the same balance data directly through the Mirror Node REST endpoint using the client’s mirror-network configuration. The change reduces migration friction while aligning account-balance reads with Hedera’s Mirror Node architecture and its open-source SDK ecosystem. The shift is mandatory for applications that depend on AccountBalanceQuery. Hedera said the consensus-node endpoint behind that query is throttled to zero on testnet and mainnet as of Consensus Node…

Earlier Confirmation, Different Guarantees FCR counts Ethereum validators’ votes and applies additional checks before marking a block confirmed. Its guarantee depends on at least 75% of stake being honest and participating, and votes reaching honest validators within about eight seconds, Gnosis’s documentation says. Finality has a different protection: reversing a finalized block would require at least one-third of all stake to be slashed. What the Faster Confirmation Changes If those FCR assumptions fail, confirmation can slow down or fall back to finality. Gnosis says its bridges return to waiting for finalized blocks during Ethereum hard forks or network instability. In…

$BTC/USD 1-hour chart via Bitstamp on Oct. 5, 2026. Bitcoin’s price sat just below the 10-period exponential moving average (EMA) at $86,089, 20-period volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) at $86,140 and 9-period Hull moving average (HMA) at $86,136.

“I’m no Nostradamus. I’ve been cautioning for the last two years about some of the possibilities I saw coming. I’ll repeat it for the nth time. Try your level best to create a safe reserve or emergency corpus that can cover three years of your family’s complete expenses.” Why Is an Emergency Fund Important? Notably, an emergency fund is money kept aside to use when unexpected expenses or a sudden loss of income happens. It can cover essential costs such as food, rent, medical expenses, or loan payments without taking another loan. According to the Reserve Bank of India, an…

Importantly, it is significant for participation to remain consistent over time since it creates a solid base for transactions, stablecoin transfers, and payment processing. Source: X TRONSCAN also reported over 407 million accounts on its platform with over 15.7 billion cumulative transactions. Therefore, if the activity baseline increases as adoption grows, it may provide additional support to $TRX’s utility narrative. Therefore, the activity baseline could strengthen $TRX’s utility narrative as adoption expands. However, maintaining growth beyond 4.4 million accounts will determine whether this momentum becomes a larger adoption trend. $TRX ETF demand remains weak Meanwhile, that on-chain momentum is yet…
