The Countdown Has Begun for the BNB Chain Network Update Named Pasteur

The countdown has begun for the BNB Chain's upcoming hard fork, named "Pasteur," scheduled for the mainnet on August 25, 2026. Unlike previous updates focused on speed, Pasteur aims for comprehensive enhancements centered on security and network efficiency. It incorporates three key proposals under BEP-673: BEP-682 strengthens bridge validation, BEP-695 ensures proper validator key rotation to prevent undue power concentration, and BEP-675 increases block size while maintaining speed, allowing blocks to hold more transactions. These improvements are designed to enhance the security of the bridge, staking, and governance, while also boosting network capacity. The hard fork is currently active on the BSC testnet, and node operators are urged to upgrade to version 1.7.7 before the mainnet activation. This update aligns with BNB Chain's goal to double mainnet throughput and achieve a tenfold performance improvement in the latter half of the year.

Bitcoin Fork ECX, Created by Paul Sztorc, Surpasses 25,000 Blocks in Just 13 Hours

The ECX Bitcoin fork, created by Drivechain developer Paul Sztorc, launched its alpha phase at Bitcoin block height 963,648. Remarkably, the network surpassed 25,000 blocks in just 13 hours due to its initial difficulty being set to 1, mirroring Bitcoin's 2009 launch. By Sunday morning, August 23, the difficulty had already skyrocketed to 16.78 million after several adjustments, with miners contributing a hashrate of 3.53 PH/s to the chain. This level of support from multiple mining pools starkly contrasts with the failed BIP-110 event earlier in the month, which lacked miner backing. While ECX has attracted real mining power and has a small number of wallets, the ecash (ECX) token currently has no established market value and is not yet listed on exchanges. Its economic viability will face a significant test after the initial mining surge subsides and block rewards diminish, especially during the long wait until the network's final phase is scheduled for launch on October 31, 2026. The early activity demonstrates technical feasibility, but sustained growth will depend on whether it can maintain miner interest and attract listings from wallets and exchanges in the absence of a tradable price.

Hardware Wallet Owners Lose Money: The Nuances of Cold Bitcoin Storage in 2026

The article discusses a wave of distrust towards hardware wallets by the summer of 2026, primarily triggered by security incidents. The most significant involved Coldcard wallets from Coinkite, where a firmware bug dating back to 2021 drastically reduced the cryptographic entropy for seed phrase generation. This allowed attackers to brute-force private keys, leading to losses estimated between $115-$153 million in Bitcoin. While Coldcard issued a fixed firmware, the incident damaged the reputation of all hardware wallets. Other manufacturers like Trezor and Ledger issued statements assuring their devices' security, citing their use of secure hardware elements for true random number generation. However, separate data breaches affected SafePal (exposing personal data of ~40,000 users) and Trezor (via a logistics partner, compromising data for ~14,000 users), though no private keys or crypto assets were stolen in these cases. The article clarifies that hardware wallets themselves don't "hold" crypto but store the keys to access it on the blockchain. It argues against abandoning hardware wallets entirely, pointing out that alternatives like paper, memory, or custodial exchange storage have their own significant risks. It concludes that these incidents should be viewed as specific failures, not a condemnation of the entire category. A key underlying challenge highlighted is the dual role of advancing AI, which empowers both defenders to enhance security and attackers to find vulnerabilities more efficiently.

Term Labs Project Hacked and Lost $8.5 Million

The Term Labs project suffered a hack resulting in a loss of $8.5 million. The attacker exploited a vulnerability in the protocol's management mechanism to gain access to Term Vaults, withdrawing 2,843 ETH and approximately 1.6 million DAI stablecoins. The developers acknowledged the breach was caused by a critical error in the management system's logic and have imposed restrictions on the affected smart contracts to prevent further outflows. According to CertiK, the stolen funds remain in a single wallet, and the hacker has not attempted to launder them through mixers like Tornado Cash or transfer them to centralized exchanges. This is not the first incident for the Term architecture, which previously lost $1.5 million in Spring 2025 due to an incorrect liquidity oracle update. The report follows a separate security alert from PeckShield regarding a $1.7 million hack on the cross-chain project Maya Protocol.

Eric Trump Agrees to Limit His Influence on World Liberty Financial's Planned Trust Bank

Eric Trump has agreed to limit his decision-making influence over the proposed World Liberty Financial national trust bank while its crypto business undergoes federal approval. Alongside co-founder Zack Folkman and an Emirati investor linked to Abu Dhabi's royal family, Trump signed "passivity commitments" barring them from bank management control. This move addresses concerns over the bank's Trump family ties and foreign funding as it seeks a federal license. World Liberty emphasized its commitment to full regulatory cooperation. If chartered, the bank would directly hold reserves for its USD1 stablecoin (market cap ~$4B), internalizing its management. This application aligns with a shift in U.S. crypto banking policy under Trump's administration, contrasting with the prior Biden era's stricter stance. World Liberty joins other firms like Ripple and Coinbase in receiving preliminary trust bank approvals, pending further federal requirements.

Anchored and Uniswap to Launch Tokenized Stocks on Arbitrum

Anchored, an infrastructure developer for capital markets, in collaboration with the Uniswap decentralized exchange protocol, plans to launch tokenized stocks on the Arbitrum L2 network. Initially, users will access these assets via UniswapX, a system that utilizes quote requests and engages solvers to source optimal liquidity. The tokenized shares will be fully backed 1:1 by the underlying assets, with on-chain issuance, redemption, and USDC settlements. Anchored states this solution will enable trading through existing crypto wallet, liquidity provider, and market maker infrastructure. Future plans include integrating tokenized stocks with crypto wallets, DeFi protocols, and other liquidity venues. Anchored also aims to launch tokenized funds, provide access to pre-IPO shares, and build infrastructure for private companies and pre-public assets.

How Bitcoin Hardware Wallets Helped Users During the Coldcard Crisis

Bitcoin.com News analyzed how 13 leading hardware wallet manufacturers communicated on X during the Coldcard security crisis from late July through August. The crisis stemmed from a vulnerability in some Coldcard devices' random number generation, potentially compromising seed phrases. Wallets differed in response speed, clarity, and helpfulness. Bitkey (Block) and Blockstream Jade were among the first to warn users, while others like Ledger responded hours later. Key communication trends included manufacturers emphasizing their multi-source entropy generation methods (distinguishing them from Coldcard), promoting user-generated entropy, and discussing open-source verifiability versus reliance on certifications. Some, like Trezor, Bitkey, and Jade, provided ongoing updates and practical migration guides for affected users. Others were less active in follow-up. The incident highlighted varying approaches to reassuring customers, with some wallets focusing on technical transparency and others on marketing language. The report concludes that the crisis offered security lessons and a chance to improve future crisis communication for the industry.

With 319 Million Shares Facing Lifting of Trading Restrictions, Why Did SpaceX Drop Nearly 5% Intraday?

SpaceX's second round of post-IPO lock-up shares was lifted on August 20th, with approximately 319 million shares held by insiders becoming eligible for trading. The sudden potential expansion of the tradable share float led to a near 5% intraday drop in the stock price, as short-term supply pressure temporarily outweighed the market's long-term enthusiasm for its rocket, satellite, and AI infrastructure businesses.

Elon Musk and Company X Take a Step Towards Cryptocurrencies! A New Era of Payments is on the Horizon! Here are the Details

Elon Musk's social media platform X is reportedly in discussions to use stablecoins, primarily USDC, for paying content creators. According to sources cited by CoinDesk, the talks are ongoing and no final decision or timeline for implementation has been announced. If adopted, this plan would enable faster, digital payments to creators worldwide. Experts suggest the use of stablecoins, especially for cross-border transactions, could provide an alternative to traditional payment systems. The report notes that the potential for fast and low-cost international payments is a key reason for X's interest. It also mentions that SpaceX, another Musk-owned company, already uses stablecoins for some Starlink cross-border payments in certain countries. While the plan is not yet finalized, X's consideration of digital dollar payments like USDC is seen as a significant step toward broader stablecoin adoption in everyday digital transactions.

Court Bans Top Executives of Collapsed FTX Exchange from Trading

A U.S. court has issued an order against former FTX top executives Ryan Salame and Caroline Ellison, banning them from obtaining CFTC licenses for ten and eight years respectively. This is the outcome of the CFTC's case following the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX in 2022. Ellison was sentenced to two years in prison in September 2024 and was released in January 2026. Salame received a three-year probation sentence. The CFTC stated their cooperation with the investigation led to the reduced sentences. Meanwhile, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried continues to serve his prison term and is not eligible for release until 2044, with his appeal for a reduced sentence recently denied. Separately, FTX has begun distributing approximately $900 million to affected creditors as part of its reorganization plan, with payments going through BitGo, Kraken, and Payoneer to verified customers.
