Nonkyc.io also recently listed BTCB2, now as well, and it too offers a $USDT trading pair with the forked asset. However, both exchanges are relatively unknown compared to giants like Coinbase or Kraken, and liquidity is super spotty. Additionally, major crypto coin market cap aggregation websites like coinmarketcap.com (CMC) and coingecko.com do not have BTCB2 listed on their web portals. Replay Attack Risks Put BTCB2 Holders in a Tight Spot One issue with BTCB2 is that the UTXO (unspent transaction output) must be split away from genuine $BTC, or the assets could be vulnerable to replay attacks. A replay attack…

The comments mark the company’s clearest acknowledgment of its IPO plans after Bloomberg reported in August that RedotPay had delayed a U.S. listing while seeking regulatory approvals and dealing with legal issues. A listing might take place in 2027 or later, rather than this year, the report said. “There has been no deferral of our IPO,” a RedotPay spokesperson told CoinDesk in emailed comments. “We are continuing to work with our partners on the IPO process.” The company did not give a listing date. RedotPay is targeting a valuation of more than $5 billion, according to a person familiar with…

M0 developed the programmable token infrastructure used by PYUSDx. Its system lets issuers configure individual components instead of accepting a fixed stablecoin model. MoonPay contributes issuance, onboarding and distribution services. PayPal supplies the ecosystem connection through $PYUSD. The arrangement extends the role of PayPal’s stablecoin beyond direct payments by allowing other financial applications to use it as an underlying reserve asset. The companies said the structure can reduce the time required to create a customized stablecoin from several months to days. That remains a company claim and will depend on the project, its technical requirements and applicable regulatory approvals. PYUSDx…

The Numbers As of now, Cosmos is trading at $0 with no reported trading volume in the last 24 hours. This lack of volume indicates a relatively quiet market despite the significant news surrounding Blockdaemon’s recent partnership. Such developments may lead to increased interest in Cosmos as institutional adoption grows, potentially impacting future trading activity. Blockdaemon provides institutional blockchain infrastructure, focusing on services like staking and node management. Cosmos, known for its interchain capabilities, seeks to facilitate a decentralized network that allows different blockchains to communicate with one another, making it an ideal partner for enhancing blockchain services. Key Levels…

Source: CryptoQuant Crucially, $BTC-denominated OI also climbed to 125,830 $BTC, confirming traders opened fresh positions rather than merely benefiting from higher prices. As a result, this speculative increase in Open Interest propelled Binance’s overall OI dominance to 37.1%, thereby focusing even more leverage on one exchange, which will be capable of amplifying price movements via liquidations much faster. $BTC, however, fell under $80,000 after Binance’s OI cooled off to $9.67 billion. Thus, there may already have been some unwinding of excess leverage. Source: CryptoQuant That reset could improve the rally’s structure by reducing liquidation risk. Still, Futures demand cannot sustain…

Code ‘FRIDAY’ provides instant access while supplies last The mechanism is simple. Anyone who enters “FRIDAY” gets immediate entry into the Aave mobile app, but only until the available passes run out. That built-in scarcity is doing a lot of the marketing work — it turns a routine product update into something people feel they need to act on quickly, rather than a feature they’ll get around to eventually. Purpose and Promotion of the Ghost Pass Initiative Aave’s goal with the Ghost Pass push is to generate momentum before the mobile app’s official debut, turning early adopters into a kind…

“If every household used AI agents to optimize the return on their cash balances, banks could lose a large share of the cheap deposits they rely on to make loans, which would be a problem for the entire financial system,” he noted. Agentic finance refers to AI that acts rather than just answers. These agents can monitor balances in real time, compare returns across institutions, move idle cash into higher-yield accounts and move it back in time for bills. Estimates of the market’s size vary widely. Mordor Intelligence puts agentic AI in financial services at $7.78 billion in 2026 and…

What Lisk shuts down on October 31, 2026 and what keeps running Lisk is one of the oldest names in the industry. The project launched in 2016 with a network of its own, moved to a layer-2 architecture in 2024, and announced in August 2026 that it would refocus the business entirely on payment and treasury software for companies. A layer-2 chain is a network in its own right that bundles its transactions and writes the proofs for them into Ethereum; security therefore comes from Ethereum, while execution happens alongside it. That chain is now being closed. Three things are…

What’s Capping the Rally Soloway identified two separate bear flag trend lines from earlier price action that, when extended forward, converge right around where the current rally has stalled. He described the alignment as coincidental but notable, calling it the technical reason the rally has been “capped” for now. He was careful to note this doesn’t rule out a breakout, and said recent price action has looked “very, very good” overall. What a Higher High Would Signal If Bitcoin breaks above the $82,865 pivot, Soloway said that alone wouldn’t guarantee a bull market, but it would represent the first higher…

Lowered Fixed Asset Under Management Fee Under the previous model, EarnUSD charged a flat 1% AUM fee regardless of how the vault performed in a given period. That figure has now dropped to just 0.2%, a reduction that lowers the baseline cost of simply holding the asset. In practice, this means users pay far less in quiet or underperforming periods than they did before. Increased Performance Fee and Impact on Cost The trade-off comes on the other side of the ledger: the performance fee climbs from 10% to 15%. This matters because it shifts more of Lido’s revenue toward periods…
