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.

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…

A European Manufacturer Plugs Into Ripple’s Treasury Stack German logistics and manufacturing giant TRATON has connected to Ripple’s treasury infrastructure, gaining access to both $XRP and $RLUSD on the same platform without needing new vendors or wallets. $RLUSD lets the company move money across borders in minutes rather than days before converting to local currency, while $XRP is treated like a standard bank account with a full audit trail, real-time valuation and 15-decimal precision. First Public-Chain Tokenized Fund Cleared by an EU Regulator Aviva Investors has launched a tokenized share class of its USD Liquidity Fund on the $XRP Ledger…

That leaves a question the customer total cannot answer. How many of those people could open their banking app on September 24 and buy bitcoin through this new agreement? The published release provides no number. It does not identify a newly launched country service. The deal covers a network, not 18 million accounts switched on RBI says it has subsidiary banks in 11 Central and Eastern European markets. Bitpanda will supply infrastructure for those banks to offer digital assets. The operative words are will supply and can offer. Each bank’s customer rollout is a later decision, according to the announcement.…

Because zero-knowledge virtual machines sit at the foundation of these systems, a single flaw in their underlying circuits can silently undermine every proof built on top of them. Mathematical proofs cover zkWasm’s full instruction set and establish two core guarantees Formal verification takes a fundamentally different approach to conventional security review. Rather than searching for known bug patterns, CertiK’s team translated zkWasm’s Halo2 circuit logic directly into the Coq theorem prover and constructed machine-checked mathematical proofs that the circuits behave exactly as intended. The verification establishes two central guarantees: that every accepted computation trace represents a valid execution of the…
