ZETA Solana migration wins 99.4% support in vote

ZetaChain has moved closer to approving a plan that would migrate its native ZETA token to Solana and eventually shut down its own Layer 1, with 99.4% of votes supporting Proposal 68 ahead of its Sept. 20 deadline.  SummaryZetaChain proposal has 99.4% support, with participation above its required 40% quorum before closing today.ZETA would become a native Solana SPL token through one-for-one conversion without increasing total supply.A second governance proposal must approve migration dates, snapshot height, claims, exchange coordination, and shutdown.Anuma would bring more than 300,000 users to Solana alongside its encrypted Private Memory Layer.Validators keep staking until Proposal 2 defines the ZetaChain halt and final network wind-down process.  ZetaHubs live governance tally showed 58% participation, clearing the 40% quorum requirement, with 0.3% voting against and 0.3% abstaining. Voting is scheduled to close at 14:58:18 UTC on Sept. 20, after a standard 72-hour voting period.  The vote does not itself move ZETA or shut down the network.

Ethereum sets 2029 quantum target as Hegotá takes shape

Ethereum has set a December 2029 target for a quantum-resistant Layer 1 while moving Frame Transactions toward Hegotá and developing execution proofs, privacy tools and a new consensus design.  The Ethereum Foundation‘s Protocol Cluster laid out the deadline in its Sept. 7 priorities update, then researchers addressed the roadmap during the Sept. 16 EF Protocol AMA on Reddit. The Foundation said its post-quantum work must cover Ethereum’s execution, consensus and data-availability systems, while several technologies discussed in the AMA remain research proposals or individual researcher views instead of finalized network changes.  EF Protocol has committed to making the Ethereum Layer 1 post-quantum across all three protocol layers by December 2029. Its published plan treats a possible cryptographically relevant quantum computer by 2030 as an aggressive planning assumption, even though the Foundation says most estimates place such a threat later. The cluster called the 2029 deadline “non-negotiable” at least until January 2027, when outside experts are expected to help reassess quantum progress.  Execution accounts form one part of the migration. Ethereum currently relies heavily on elliptic-curve signatures, while the future system needs accounts that can replace their authentication method without waiting for a new hard fork every time cryptographic standards change. Consensus has a

Trump says US will form ‘AI Force’ and appoint AI czar: Reports

US President Donald Trump said that he plans to create an “AI Force” and appoint an artificial intelligence czar.  Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday that his new project would manage the fast-growing sector without adding regulations that could slow innovation, according to Newsweek and other media.  “For this purpose, I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term,” the president wrote. “To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI ‘Czar’ — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!”  Trump did not say whether the AI Force would be a military command, a civilian agency or a department, the New York Times noted, adding that White House officials did not respond to an email seeking clarification.

Stablecoin salaries can leave workers paying to access their wages

Every paycheck eventually has to pay for something: rent, groceries, transport, or bills.  Related Asset USDC USDC · Stablecoin  Stablecoins can move between wallets in seconds. But that does not mean an employee can spend the money immediately. They may still need to convert the stablecoins into local currency, move the money to a bank account, and pay fees along the way.  Thats becoming more important as companies offer stablecoin payroll.  Galaxy Payroll Group announced its own service on Sept. 2, with a rollout planned through September. Deel, which already offers stablecoin payouts, updated its employer guidance on Sept. 17. Deel stressed that paying with stablecoins does not remove an employers existing wage, tax, withholding, or reporting obligations.  Neither announcement tells us how many employees are choosing stablecoins or how much money they save by doing so.  But they highlight a basic question: Who pays the costs of getting a paycheck from the employer to a form the employee can actually spend?  Stablecoins can reduce some payment costs, especially for international transfers. But they can also shift some costs and responsibilities from the employer to the employee.  It depends on how the payroll system works.  A company could use stablecoins behind the scenes while the employee still receives normal

Why Bitcoin’s rally above $80,000 isn’t backed by institutional conviction

Bitcoin held above $80,000 this weekend while three institutional indicators pointed in different directions.  Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $80,483.06 24-hour change: down 0.99% Loading price history… 24H Down 0.99% 7D Up 4.85% 30D Up 4.77%  The Sept. 15 snapshot from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed leveraged funds becoming less net short across four regulated Bitcoin futures products. Their aggregate net-short exposure fell by the equivalent of 7,275 BTC from the prior week. Asset managers, meanwhile, reduced their aggregate net long by 4,733 BTC-equivalent.  A separate spot-demand measure was also mixed. Farside Investors ETF table recorded $592.5 million of US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows over Sept. 17 and Sept. 18, but the full Sept. 14-18 week finished with only $6.1 million of net inflows.

Claude AI Predicts BTC Could Outpace Gold if ETF Hedging Fades

Bitcoin has spent most of 2026 in golds shadow. While the precious metal kept setting the pace as investors looked for protection against inflation and currency debasement, Bitcoin lagged behind, weighed down by a hawkish Federal Reserve and the collapse of the CLARITY Act in the US Senate. But that gap could start to close. A new JPMorgan report argues that the heavy hedging around Bitcoin ETFs may actually be an opportunity in disguise. Claude AI Predicts a slow but steady recovery for BTC if that caution starts to fade, with $82,300 as the level that decides everything.  The reasoning is simple. When many investors are already positioned for a decline, there are fewer sellers left and more potential buyers if sentiment turns. That is exactly the setup JPMorgan describes in Bitcoin right now, and it stands in sharp contrast to gold, where positioning looks far more relaxed. Bitcoin is currently trading near $78,100, up more than 2% on the day and back above its 200-day moving average.

Hong Kong jails ex-banker over $470K USDT bribes

Hong Kong has jailed former China Construction Bank (Asia) relationship manager Lam Chun-yin for four years after he admitted accepting more than $470,000 in Tether to authenticate false bank instruments carrying a stated value above $1.6 billion.  The Independent Commission Against Corruption said on Sept. 18 that District Court Judge Ernest Lin Kam-hung sentenced the 32-year-old after his guilty plea to one count of conspiracy for an agent to accept advantages under Hong Kongs Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and Crimes Ordinance.  The court ordered Lam to repay approximately HK$3.7 million to CCB (Asia), an amount equal to the bribes identified in the case. ICAC said the judge started from a six-year prison term and reduced it by one-third because Lam pleaded guilty, leaving a four-year sentence after finding no exceptional reason for another reduction.

WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking #30 Deepcoin: You Have to Pay Unipay Fees, Taxes, and Unlock Fees to Withdraw — Deepcoin’s Triple Charges Are Even More “Thorough” Than a Pig-Butchering Scam

Introduction: A “Top 3” Ghost Exchange  In the previous 29 editions, we investigated a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to KCEX. For the 30th edition, we are taking a closer look at one of the most heavily packaged “ghost exchanges” — Deepcoin.  Its résumé looks spectacular in the “data” section:  “Ranked third globally among derivatives exchanges by CoinGecko,” “serving more than 10 million users across 30+ countries,” “registered in Singapore and founded in 2018,” “official partner of the Argentina national football team,” “COBO custody + bank-grade security,” “510+ cryptocurrencies and 125x leverage” — sounds like the standard profile of a top-tier derivatives exchange, right?  But on the other side of the story, the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) issued an official warning on September 4, 2026, stating that Deepcoin had never obtained any operating authorization under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2024, and that the FSA had “never received an application from Deepcoin.”  WikiBit gives Deepcoin a score of only 6.62/10, flagging its Canadian FINTRAC regulatory status (MSB No. M20138844) as abnormal, with the regulators published status listed as revoked. FX110 directly describes it as an “unregulated cryptocurrency investment platform” and advises users to stay away. Trustpilot gives it a rating of 3.2,

Why real-time election odds are misleading prediction market crypto traders

You can be right about who will win an election and still pay too much to bet on it. On prediction markets, the price available when you open the app may be gone by the time you try to buy, especially when news sends other traders rushing toward the same outcome.  It took very little time for the market to see a business opportunity in this. On Sept. 9, DoubleZero announced that it had added Kalshis election and politics markets to Edge, a service designed to deliver trading data over a dedicated network. It carries the exchanges order book, showing the prices and quantities people are willing to buy and sell.  DoubleZero told CryptoSlate that faster, more dependable information can help professional trading companies offer better prices. If competition passes those savings to customers, ordinary bettors could benefit. But using the feed effectively requires software and money, giving well-equipped companies another way to compete with people placing bets on their phones.  Related Company Kalshi Prediction market for trading the future  Election betting seems to be the great equalizer for both professional trading companies and retail users.
