Bitcoin developers are pushing forward with the BIP-54 soft fork proposal, which aims to fix four consensus rule vulnerabilities that have existed since the protocol was launched in 2009, including time warp attacks, "poisonous" blocks that require long verification times, a 64-byte transaction vulnerability in the Merkle tree, and the replay risk caused by duplicate coinbase transactions. BIP-54 was drafted by developer Matt Corallo in March 2019 and received its BIP number in April 2025. The test vectors were merged at the end of 2025, and testing began on the Bitcoin Inquisition Signet network in February 2026. (Source: CryptoBriefing)

[India's Computer Emergency Response Team Warns of CRAFTY FALCON Attack on Crypto Exchanges] India's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has warned of an AI-assisted attack campaign called CRAFTY FALCON targeting cryptocurrency exchanges and virtual digital asset service providers. Attackers are stealing wallet keys and transferring funds. The attackers use internet-exposed test environments to gain access to systems, then use shared credentials to access production environments, and employ AI security tools to generate and refine attack scripts. Some attacks are scheduled for weekends or holidays to delay detection and response. CERT-In recommends that relevant organizations strengthen 24/7 monitoring.

Zaif has suspended email sending and reminded customers to be wary of phishing emails, recommending that they switch to using an authentication application for two-factor authentication.

According to BBX, yesterday's global capital markets witnessed the extremely brutal evolution of the business ecosystem for crypto stocks amidst the flurry of Q3 2026 earnings reports. While the macro-level euphoria saw Bitcoin's price break through $80,000, listed entities across different sectors delivered core results that varied greatly in their fortunes: —Infrastructure boom: Stablecoin giant Circle (NYSE: $CRCL) raked in $226 million in net profit, with adjusted EBITDA surging 85%, fully demonstrating the benefits of fiat currency interest rate spreads. —The Magic of Unrealized Gains: Hut 8 (NASDAQ: $HUT) saw a decline in revenue but managed to boost its net profit to $131 million thanks to a $414 million unrealized gain in Bitcoin. —Industry Transformation: Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: $RIOT) is hedging against the decline in mining revenue by building data centers, and is holding on to its $181 million revenue base. The market is showing a clear dual evolutionary trend: "compliant digital dollar issuers are achieving leapfrog profit growth by relying on huge fiat currency reserves and interest rate spreads" and "established asset-heavy mining companies are forcibly smoothing out the pain of Bitcoin halving through fair value accounting dividends or cross-border physical data center operations".
