a man who operated a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme in Texas and squandered investors' funds on luxury goods and gambling trips has been denied bankruptcy discharge. Legal experts say this proves that bankruptcy cannot be a "safe haven" for cryptocurrency fraud.

Anatoly "Toly" Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, called for punishment of Solana validators who delay slots, steal rewards, and slow down the network. Yakovenko called for punishment because he was frustrated with validators using complex delay strategies to gain extra fees and high-value transactions. Intentional slot delays have become very annoying, to the point where one validator created a dashboard to showcase this issue. Since August 5 - Solana epoch 829, the average slot time has increased by 2.5%. Some complain, "The price of SOL should rise, not the block time." An observer asked if these delays would trigger a 2.0 version of "Intentional Leader Reward Boost (ILRB)." ILRB is a time strategy that some validators use when they intentionally delay block production. By extending slot times to over 400 milliseconds as expected by Solana, they deliberately delay the delay time and allow them to unfairly pack more transactions in their blocks to get higher fees or rewards. Yakovenko suggests "defaulting to discard these blocks after 10 slots" as a punishment for slow but influential validators. He has also repeatedly called for economic penalties against validators who behave improperly. Currently, the Solana developer store Anza has proposed a series of proposals to consider implementing a slashing mechanism in the network, punishing validators by deducting their stake, but this also poses risks to SOL stakers.

We will continue to monitor to ensure all services are back to normal."

a new view is gaining popularity, which believes that the value of most cryptocurrencies today is not captured by the blockchain itself, but is concentrated at the application layer. This trend is becoming more apparent with the rise of Hyperliquid and may change investors' behavior in the coming months.

 the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has released a new regulatory policy manual outlining the classification of crypto assets under the Basel capital rules. Starting from January 1, 2026, Hong Kong will implement the Basel framework by amending its capital, disclosure, and significant risk exposure rules. The manual categorizes crypto assets into two groups. The first group includes tokens pegged to traditional assets and stablecoins with effective stabilization mechanisms, which will be treated similarly to equivalent traditional assets. The second group includes unsecured tokens, such as Bitcoin and Ether, as well as ineligible tokenized assets and stablecoins, which will face comprehensive capitalization and stricter treatment. Stablecoins licensed under Hong Kong's latest "Stablecoin Ordinance" will be considered lower-risk assets. Industry professionals can provide feedback on the revised rules by October 10th.
