That differs from the risk-provider-led parameter process outlined in V4’s Ethereum activation plan. V4, which launched on Ethereum in March, pools liquidity in Hubs while Spokes define separate borrowing environments. Sentora’s proposed Ethereum Hub would serve its own Spokes, with no credit lines to or from other Aave Hubs authorized by this proposal. Sentora, formed through the merger of IntoTheBlock and Trident Digital, says the arrangement would consolidate lending strategies it currently operates across separate venues. Risk Changes on a 48-Hour Clock Sentora could immediately pause or freeze markets and make risk-reducing changes, such as lowering caps or collateral factors.…

The FCR-specific rollout is described differently by the two teams: Ethlabs says CCIP can use it now, while Chainlink’s launch post describes support for the rule “when it launches.” The 12–24-second figure refers to Ethereum confirmation, not a guaranteed end-to-end bridge delivery time. An Earlier Signal, Not Faster Finality FCR counts validator votes, known as attestations, to assess whether a block has enough support to be confirmed. Ethereum nodes run the rule locally, so it requires no hard fork, according to the project’s interoperability guide. The Defiant covered the proposed rule in March, when it targeted shorter bridge and exchange-deposit…

“When you think about what you’re using as cash for payments and settlement, you look at what’s the claim, what’s the backing, what’s the form, what’s the access,” Sharma said. His comments addressed how privately issued stablecoins, commercial-bank deposits and central-bank money could operate within one financial system. A user paying with a dollar stablecoin, for example, would need the recipient’s bank to recognize the asset and convert it into a deposit liability without creating uncertainty over its value. “In tangible terms: I could pay through a stablecoin, and the banking infrastructure needs to accept that, transform it into a…

Source: CoinGecko Lisk stands out after gaining 16.0% in the past 24 hours and roughly 764.7% over seven days. This is mainly caused by a violent short squeeze. Derivatives data show $35–41 million in liquidations on September 13, the largest of any token that day, with the vast majority ($33–36 million) coming from short positions. The liquidated shorts forced buying into a self-reinforcing rally on relatively thin liquidity. Meanwhile, $LIT, the native token of a high-performance decentralized perpetual futures exchange built as an application-specific zk-rollup on Ethereum, is also ranking high in trending searches. At press time, $LIT was trading…

There isn’t a proposed staking license, a new capital requirement, or an agreed position in Brussels that any of those things should exist. The European Commission’s MiCA review consultation remains open until Sept. 30 at 23:59 CEST and could eventually feed into legislation that amends MiCA, but the Commission says explicitly that the document isn’t a final policy position. Even so, the question tells us a lot about where European crypto regulation is heading. MiCA already governs much of what a centralized staking provider does when it takes custody of customer assets, and Brussels is now asking whether staking has…

RWA perp DEX volume grew despite two monthly declines Trading activity entered Q3 from a strong base. CryptoRank said July RWA perpetual volume reached a record $141 billion, following a rise from only $23.1 billion at the start of 2026. August then became the first monthly contraction since January. Volume fell 13.5% to $122 billion, ending the uninterrupted expansion seen during the preceding months. CryptoRank attributed the pullback to renewed demand for crypto assets after Bitcoin and other major tokens posted stronger price moves during August. September volume declined again, according to CryptoRank’s Sept. 24 update, yet the full quarterly…

As crypto.news previously reported, the bank introduced the UAE service more than a year after launching the same trading model through its UK branch in July 2025. Standard Chartered had already begun offering regulated digital asset custody in the UAE in September 2024, initially supporting Bitcoin and Ether with Brevan Howard Digital as its first client. Wojciech Kaszycki, founder and chairman of Mobilum and a strategy advisor to Warsaw-listed BTCS S.A., told crypto.news that placing digital assets on a bank’s foreign exchange interface only removes one small obstacle for institutions. According to Kaszycki, treasury teams care more about the identity…

Price Action Breakdown Currently, the strkBTC price remains at $0, with no trading volume reported over the past 24 hours. This lack of market activity could suggest a period of consolidation or caution among traders, particularly as they await clearer signals or developments in the wider crypto landscape. The growing interest in the faucet may play a pivotal role in shifting user sentiment and market engagement in the coming days. strkBTC operates as a cryptocurrency that aims to incentivize user participation through faucets. Faucets are platforms that distribute small amounts of cryptocurrency to users for tasks or registrations, stimulating interest…

The divergence puts two forces in focus. Treasury companies and ETF investors are adding exposure, but short-term price moves can still be driven by changes in risk appetite, bond yields and leveraged trading positions. BitMine crosses six million $ETH BitMine said it purchased 17,362 $ETH during the week, bringing its holdings to 6,001,302 $ETH as of September 27. Using an $ETH price of $2,698 in its announcement, the company valued that position at roughly $16.2 billion. It said its holdings represent about 4.9% of an estimated 122.1 million $ETH supply, leaving it close to its stated goal of accumulating 5%.…

How an year changed the course of things? In this shift, retail investors are becoming more vocal online, while institutional investors are pushing for changes through shareholder votes, takeover proposals, and challenges to compensation plans. Here it’s important to note that the roughly $50 billion in cumulative losses mentioned is actually the decline in the value of these publicly traded treasury companies. And not $50 billion that shareholders necessarily lost in one particular event. In this, the concerning part according to Artemis is that publicly listed DATs whose main treasury strategy focused on Bitcoin [$BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] have a…
