Sep 29: THORChain Refuses Bitget's Request to Blacklist Hacker, $6M Laundered to Bitcoin

Market Snapshot

Bitcoin (BTC): $83,177.39 (-1.14% 24h)  |  Ethereum (ETH): $2,676.50 (+0.11% 24h)  |  Solana (SOL): $118.07 (-2.95% 24h)

Notable number: Strategy's BTC holdings now represent about 4% of the total 21 million BTC supply cap, valued near $70 billion.

Top Stories

Key Takeaways

  • Decentralized protocols like THORChain face mounting pressure to balance neutrality with compliance demands after high-profile hacks.
  • Traditional finance is incrementally integrating with crypto, as seen in Goldman's non-tokenized Treasury fund offering via Lynq.
  • Major corporate players continue to accumulate Bitcoin, with Strategy now holding nearly 4% of total supply, but signals of potential sales complicate the "never sell" narrative.
  • AI-driven security incidents are prompting governments to demand greater accountability and transparency from leading AI firms.

What to Watch

All eyes are on the October 1 Australian Senate hearing, though it remains uncertain whether Altman or Amodei will appear. Meanwhile, the crypto industry is watching for further regulatory or technical responses to cross-chain laundering, and whether other protocols will follow THORChain's lead or adopt more compliance-oriented controls. Strategy's upcoming shareholder vote on daily dividends for preferred stock (October 28) may also signal shifts in crypto treasury management.
