The Cosmos ecosystem decentralized exchange Osmosis has restored the reserve support for Alloyed BTC asset allBTC through a governance proposal. Previously, the Nomic cross-chain bridge minted 40.650602 nBTC on June 25 without Bitcoin reserve backing, of which 39.839746 was counted as collateral for allBTC, causing the support rate of allBTC to drop to 63.97%. After Nomic suspended operations on September 7, Osmosis validators froze 22.650608 allBTC held by the attacker through an emergency upgrade.According to the passed proposal, Osmosis will transfer the frozen attacker assets to the liquidity sub-DAO and utilize 12.4838 allBTC held in the community pool, as well as approximately 4.7 BTC released from the canceled USDC liquidity deployment, to fill a gap of about 39.84 BTC. The subsequent v32 software upgrade will mark the contaminated nBTC as invalid, withdraw it from the allBTC alloy, and destroy it, allowing allBTC holders to restore full support.The proposal indicates that approximately 18 BTC has been transferred out of Osmosis and laundered through Tornado Cash, making it impossible to recover directly. Osmosis stated that it will continue to track the remaining funds and restore the deposit and withdrawal functions of allBTC after the allBTC balance reaches zero and nBTC is removed from the alloy.

Many developers have provided feedback that we can do more in supporting the community. I believe everyone will see us increasing our investment because we want to make it the best developer ecosystem and the best on-chain community in the world. So, you will see us increasing investment because the development of emerging ecosystems like this is rare."He also confirmed, "Robinhood is working hard to do more for the community. We had to form a team, and I think in the near future, you will see us providing more support for developers."

User Momilio posted: On-chain options are currently the biggest blank space and opportunity in the cryptocurrency field. This content is excerpted from its upcoming on-chain options research report, currently just a summary of one chapter. Momilio stated: Mature financial markets will eventually expand to options, and cryptocurrency has reached a turning point; constraints are no longer regulatory or infrastructural, market-making liquidity has improved, and pricing systems can now support larger-scale transactions. It also noted: The trading volume of on-chain options is still only 6.9% of Deribit's options trading volume, and to reach critical scale, a large influx of retail order flow is necessary.Momilio stated: The annual trading contracts for U.S. options increased from 4.19 billion in 2017 to 15.2 billion in 2025, a growth of 263%, primarily due to retail investors. After Robinhood launched commission-free options in December 2017, the proportion of S&P 500 options on the same day rose from 5% to over 60% within ten years. By 2023, the proportion of contracts expiring within a week rose to 68%, with same-day options accounting for 43%; SSRN research shows that over 75% of retail-related trades are contracts expiring on the same day.In India, the premium for stock options is expected to reach 190.65 trillion rupees by the fiscal year 2026, which is 45.8 times that of the fiscal year 2016, with over 90% of retail derivatives traders only engaging in options. By the end of 2024, the Securities and Exchange Board of India will raise the minimum contract size from 500,000 rupees to 1.5 million rupees and restrict weekly expirations to only one benchmark index, with premiums still increasing by 7% in the fiscal year 2026. In the first half of 2026, the trading volume of options contracts on Indian exchanges reached 39.3 billion, which is 4.5 times that of the U.S. at 8.7 billion, while U.S. premiums of $6.3 trillion are nearly 5 times India's $1.3 trillion.

According to information from GitHub, a core protocol draft named "Decoupled Consensus" has appeared in the Ethereum EIP repository. It proposes to separate the beacon chain's head voting from the finality proof voting to enhance fork choice security, shorten finality time, and lay the groundwork for a subsequent transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQ).The proposal is co-authored by Francesco D'Amato, Roberto Saltini, Yann Vonlanthen, Mikhail Kalinin, and Ben Edgington, and is currently still in the early draft stage, with multiple details yet to be determined. The submitters primarily hope to obtain an EIP number at this stage. The proposal is pending further review and has not yet been merged.

The Polkadot Community Foundation issued a security warning on the Polkadot forum stating that versions 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 of the browser extension for the third-party wallet Fearless Wallet contain malicious code, which may send users' private keys to a server controlled by attackers when unlocking the wallet.The related code was added on February 19, 2025, with a code change named "TON ecosystem," and it will take effect intermittently from February 2025 to October 10, 2026.

Co-founder Chris Burniske stated that long-term investors should not repeatedly struggle with entering or exiting the market, but should systematically accumulate tokens over time, and not confuse long-term investing with short-term trading. He suggested using his most successful investment targets as a reference, calculating target holdings based on the total supply of network tokens.He gave an example that the total supply of ETH is about 120 million tokens. If one previously held 10 ETH, based on the network holding ratio, the total supply of SOL is about 636 million tokens, corresponding to about 53 tokens; the total supply of TIA is about 1.16 billion tokens, corresponding to about 97 tokens. If one wishes for the TIA network share to reach 10 times the original ETH holding share, approximately 970 TIA would be needed. For ZEC, since its supply is similar to BTC, the ideal BTC holding quantity can be used as a reference for accumulation targets.Regarding the current market, he noted that many crypto assets have fallen 20% to over 40% from their highs, while BTC has dropped less than 10%. He is more inclined to believe that BTC's previous relative resilience has led to significant adjustments in assets with lower risk appetite, making the current situation more like an opportunity in the early stages of a bull market rather than a warning signal of a bull market trap. He also reminded that one should consider the possibility of further price declines, suggesting to invest remaining cash in batches and determine the investment ratio based on the probability of local bottoms at different price levels; even if some preset price levels are not reached and cash remains, it can still be acceptable.

In an interview video published by Bitcoin Magazine, philosopher Troy Cross provided answers on whether Bitcoin can truly achieve "the separation of money and state." He stated that he does not expect governments to abandon printing money anytime soon, but believes that Bitcoin serves as a check against endless monetary expansion, as people will choose to seek refuge in Bitcoin.Cross believes that academia will be the last group to understand Bitcoin, following innovators, financial practitioners, and journalists. He mentioned that the "Getting Bitcoin" initiative has made it to The Wall Street Journal, with related Bitcoin articles receiving 4 to 6 times the normal click rates. He also cited a survey from the Nakamoto Project, indicating that Bitcoin is moving towards normalization, while also increasingly showing signs of partisanship and polarization.In the interview, Cross also discussed the branding issues Bitcoin faces, as it is often confused with the broader category of crypto assets, and why price trends, education, and "Number Go Up" have become a universal language. He mentioned the need to bridge the gap and reach the 82% of people who do not yet hold Bitcoin, and explained how Bitcoin can keep governments honest. The video chapters also touched on the setbacks of the Clarity Act and why Bitcoin continues to move forward.

Recently, the Polkadot community submitted a proposal named DOT DAO Strategy Mandate on the SubSquare platform, advocating for a shift in the DAO's strategic focus from previous ecological scale expansion and locked asset growth to acquiring end users and real usage scenarios, and plans to build a user-oriented Polkadot Product Platform.Another core aspect of the proposal is the introduction of permissionless DOT collateralized stable assets called dotStables, with a priority support for dotUSD. This asset adopts a collateral model similar to Liquity, aiming to ultimately convert stablecoin demand into demand for DOT.In terms of platform design, it will be compatible with existing parachain infrastructure and emphasize user experiences such as Freemium model, mobile-first, self-custody, privacy protection, and no-login features. Currently, the proposal is still in the governance preparation stage.
