Crypto hack: Blockstream rejects ransom as nearly 600 Bitcoin remains missing

Blockstream has refused to pay for the return of Bitcoin after a theft from the Liquid Network because it believes that security researchers should not steal!　　Most of the funds have already been returned, but nearly 600 BTC, which is worth about $47 million, remains with the people behind the attack.　　How the Liquid Network hack unfolded　　The incident began when attackers found a flaw in software used by Liquid, a Bitcoin-based network designed to support faster transfers and other financial services.　　Through the weakness, around 4,000 Liquid Bitcoinswere generated, which were then exchanged for the real Bitcoin on the network. They [the attackers] described what they did as “white-hat” activity, and about3,400 BTCwas returned afterwards.　　But Blockstream said that the negotiation it had before with the people behind it was just to get users funds back, and that it should not be interpreted as accepting their actions or demands.　　Blockstream draws a line over the remaining bitcoin　　In a public statement, Blockstream declared that it would not be paying a ransom to recover the remaining funds.　　Taking assets without authorization and withholding their return is a crime, not responsible disclosure. It is not white-hat activity. It is theft.　　Blockstream said they were not going to pay, stating that

Apple has to pay Samsung for every iPhone Duo it sells under exclusive display deal

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) reportedly has to pay Samsung Electronics (KRX: 005930) $250 for every main folding panel fitted inside the iPhone Duo.　　Leaker Instant Digital said on Chinese social network Weibo that the supply contract lasts three years. It covers the current Duo and the models Apple releases during that period. Samsung was already in possession of the exclusive screen contract because it was reported that Apple could not find any other manufacturer capable of giving the desired screen.　　Apple is now bound to its main competitor in the phone-making industry for the expensive component. LG Display (NYSE: LPL), an important screen supplier for Apple, is not capable of manufacturing the flexible screen.　　Discover more　　Financial　　News　　Track Stocks Bonds　　BOE Technology Group (SZSE: 000725) already sells folding panels to Huawei, but Apple reportedly decided BOEs version was not good enough for its phone. Samsung was therefore left as the only supplier that met the requirements.　　Samsung secures three years of Apple orders as each inner panel costs $250　　The display of the Duo is more difficult to produce as compared to the display that is present within the iPhone 18 Pro Max. The production process is quite complex for this reason, and hence, this increases the cost of

Coinbase CEO sees Bitcoin at $400,000, but first it has to clear $81,000

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says Bitcoins latest bottom is already in, even as the cryptocurrency remains below a level that historically confirmed recoveries.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $77,349.82 24-hour change: up 0.17% 24H Up 0.17% 7D Down 3.10% 30D Up 21.78%　　Armstrong said in Sept. 10 interviews with Bloomberg and CNBC that he expects Bitcoin to trend higher over the next one to two years as the market approaches its next halving, while calling $400,000 by 2030 a “reasonable target.”　　“I personally think weve seen the bottom of the Bitcoin price in this cycle,” Armstrong said, framing the view as his own rather than a Coinbase forecast.　　Related Company Coinbase A leading digital currency company　　The call comes with Bitcoin trading around $77,000, roughly 39% below the record $126,198 reached in October 2025.

Decoding Zcashs $1.35B leverage flush: Will ZEC rebound to $1200 or...

Zcash [ZEC] entered a sharp correction after its extended rally carried the cryptocurrency toward the $1,300 price region.　　At the time of reporting, ZEC had dropped 14.36% over 24 hours, erasing part of its recent gains after a rapid price uptrend.　　This decline therefore reflects a notable shift from the strength that had recently pushed ZEC toward new highs.　　What led to this price decline？　　Reportedly, ZECs previous rally attracted considerable speculative activity, with the Open Interest hitting $1.35 billion. As a result, this elevated leverage left the bulls increasingly exposed once the price retreated from its highs.　　For instance, Lookonchain reported that two leveraged ZEC longs were fully liquidated as the token pushed lower. The whales combined losses totaled around $4.33 million, highlighting the scale of forced position closures.　　Historically, long liquidations usually accelerate declines since the leveraged positions get automatically closed when traders fail to maintain sufficient collateral.　　Such forced selling likely amplified ZECs price correction as existing supply pressure triggered further liquidations.　　Discover more　　Currencies & Foreign Exchange　　Brokerages & Day Trading　　Merchant Services & Payment Systems　　Removing excessive leverage could however limit forced selling if ZEC stabilizes and speculative positioning resets.　　Macro pressure compounds ZECs overbought correction　　Recently, the leverage flush unfolded as the broader market conditions remain unfavorable for

UniCredit Seeks Crypto Custody and Brokerage Technology Partner

UniCredit is evaluating external technology providers for direct digital asset custody and brokerage.The infrastructure could cover crypto exposure, tokenized investments, fixed income and stablecoin-related services.Previous investments in BlockInvest and VC Trade have already expanded the banks tokenized capital markets capabilities.Vendor selection will show how closely UniCredit intends to connect crypto services with its existing securities business.　　UniCredit is looking for a technology provider to build direct digital asset custody and brokerage infrastructure, adding a client-facing layer to blockchain investments the Italian bank has already made across tokenized debt and settlement. According to Bloomberg, the selection process remains at an early stage, with no vendor chosen and no final decision on which services will reach clients. The project nevertheless moves the bank beyond individual tokenization initiatives toward infrastructure capable of supporting digital assets inside its broader financial business.　　UniCredit evaluates custody and brokerage infrastructure　　The technology search covers more than cryptocurrency storage.　　UniCredit is considering infrastructure that could support crypto-asset exposure, tokenized investment products, fixed-income securities and stablecoin-related tools for clients.　　Custody would require the bank to manage a different operational layer from conventional securities accounts.

The pullback tracks a rates market that turned more hawkish, not less, after inflation numbers landed today.　　Todays CPI numbers showed the monthly core reading at 0.3%, hotter than the 0.2% analysts expected. CME FedWatch, which tracks probabilities implied by 30-day Fed funds futures, had the odds of a 25-basis-point interest rate hike at roughly 69% just after the inflation data landed. Those odds have since spiked to 86.5% in just the last few hours.　　A rate hike would generally precede a risk off move from investors, meaning risk assets like Bitcoin and tech stocks would take a hit if the Fed

US Treasury yields ease after CPI as Fed hike risks linger

US Treasury yields fall during the North American session on Friday following the release of US inflation data, but are poised to finish the week higher. The US 10-year Treasury yield is down one basis point to 4.951% but has gained over 16 basis points, or 3.49%, this week.　　US yields cool, but the weeks inflation scare still bites　　The US 30-year yield falls two basis points to 5.34% after hitting its highest level since 2007 at 5.38%, due to surging Oil prices fueled by the escalation of the US-Iran conflict, which has spread to Yemen, Houthis versus Saudi Arabia.　　Recent US inflation data were mostly aligned with estimates, except for core CPI, which was in line with forecasts but ticked lower. Despite this, the red-hot PPI report a day ago and the surge in US yields this week ignited a Fed-hawkish repricing.　　Money markets have priced in a 91% chance of a 0.25% rate increase by the Federal Reserve (Fed) at the next weeks meeting.　　Other data showed that US consumers are becoming pessimistic about the economy and now expect higher prices due to a resurgence in fuel prices and rising trade tensions, particularly between the US and Canada.　　In the meantime, the US Dollar

Japanese Yen rises as the Greenback's inflation bounce fades

USD/JPY is trading around 153.70 on Friday, down for the day after briefly spiking above 154.50 following the US inflation release. The pair erased that move within hours as Yen strength overwhelmed the Dollar‘s knee-jerk bounce, leaving it back toward the lower end of its recent range following this week’s sharp slide from the mid-155s.　　United States (US) Consumer Price Index (CPI) data held at 3.4% year on year in August, matching both Julys reading and market expectations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.4%, a marked pick-up from the 0.1% gain the month before. The core measure, which strips out food and energy, rose 0.3% on the month, above the 0.2% forecast, although the annual core rate eased to 2.4% from 2.5%.　　The US Dollar (USD) climbed at first, helped by the firmer monthly core figure, but the move lost momentum quickly against the Japanese Yen (JPY), which has been among the strongest currencies this week. The initial rebound lacked the fuel to hold.　　Markets see the central bank raising interest rates next week, with a 25-basis-point (bps) hike to 1.25% on the table, a move that would lift Japanese borrowing costs to their
