The platform accepts crypto donations across multiple blockchains, converts them into USDC, and sends the funds to Nepal’s prime minister disaster relief fund.

LayerZero Labs will discontinue operations for Stargate V1, the cross-chain bridge protocol, Crypto Briefing reported. Its V1 liquidity pools will stop functioning after Dec. 15, and liquidity providers must withdraw funds before then. LayerZero plans to support fee-free withdrawals to help users recover funds smoothly. The move follows the end of support for the LayerZero V1 relayer used by Stargate V1. Stargate will continue operating normally.

CryptoSlate reported that compatibility concerns have emerged at some infrastructure providers ahead of Solana’s planned mainnet rollout of the v1 transaction format, which expands the maximum transaction size from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes. RPC clients, indexers, and other infrastructure that have not been updated to support v1 could encounter errors or stop functioning while reading blocks containing v1 transactions. V1 has already been applied on testnet and devnet, but as of Sept. 4 it had not yet been activated on mainnet.

The White House is reviewing candidates to fill four vacant seats at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to BeInCrypto. Two of the openings are being considered for Democratic nominees, although current law does not require the appointment of opposition-party commissioners. The CFTC has five seats, with no more than three commissioners allowed from the same party. The commission is currently being led by Chairman Michael Selig alone. If the White House adds only two Republican commissioners, the panel could shift to a 3-0 partisan split. If Democratic commissioners also join, the process of introducing rules tied to crypto perpetual futures and margin trading could face a longer review and public comment period, the outlet said.

The Group of Seven urged governments and companies to begin transitioning now to post-quantum cryptography, or PQC, to prepare for the possibility that advances in quantum computing could render existing cryptographic systems ineffective, Decrypt reported. In a recent report, the G7 said the timing of when powerful quantum computers might be able to break widely used public-key cryptography remains uncertain, but recent technological progress calls for preemptive action. The group also said attackers could steal encrypted data now and store it for future decryption with quantum computers. While the report did not directly mention cryptocurrencies, public-key cryptography is also used in blockchain wallets and transaction signatures.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said on X that GPUs are "one of the most important assets in the digital age" and that USD.AI provides loans to companies backed by GPUs, then tokenizes those loans into on-chain financial products.

European crypto asset manager CoinShares said Bitcoin has moved similarly to gold over the past two weeks, according to Wu Blockchain. CoinShares said renewed concerns over U.S. fiscal soundness and stronger demand for long-dated Treasurys helped lift Bitcoin from the low $60,000 range to $80,000, while the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has acted as a key constraint on further gains. The firm added Bitcoin would need factors such as a resolution to the Iran situation or a further decline in confidence in U.S. Treasurys, expanding demand for stores of value such as Bitcoin, to remain consistently above $80,000. In the short term, CoinShares said August U.S. inflation data and the Fed’s September meeting are likely to be the main events shaping Bitcoin’s direction.

Grayscale said stock token trading volume reached a record high in August, with weekly spot volume nearing $3 billion, while only about 5% of the overall market is currently being used in on-chain finance. Most trading activity took place on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana. Use of stock tokens in lending protocols such as Kamino and Jupiter has increased about tenfold over the past year, but their use in lending, collateral, and other financial applications remains limited. Grayscale said, "As the U.S. regulatory environment becomes clearer, stock tokens could grow beyond products traded 24/7 globally into productive on-chain financial assets."

The U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, said it identified links between cryptocurrency fraud cases totaling $12.7 billion and overseas organizations. According to Cointelegraph, the finding came from an analysis of more than 33,000 suspicious activity reports on suspected crypto fraud filed between September 2023 and December 2025, which showed $12.7 billion in financial transactions tied to fraud. FinCEN said a substantial share of the activity appears to be tied to transnational criminal groups operating from crime compounds in Southeast Asia.

Arbitrum said Robinhood Chain continued operating normally without downtime, even as transaction processing was delayed after the network stopped producing blocks for more than 14 minutes. Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-based Ethereum layer-two network, saw delays while posting transaction batch data to Ethereum because of blob market conditions on Ethereum’s L1, Arbitrum said. Arbitrum added that individually submitted user transactions were not delayed. According to Arbitrum, the incident stemmed from Ethereum market volatility rather than an infrastructure problem on Robinhood Chain itself. Robinhood Chain is now operating normally.

Adam Aron, CEO of U.S.-listed theater chain AMC Entertainment, criticized Robinhood Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher over stock token trading and said Gallagher should be ashamed. Aron made the remarks after reposting Gallagher’s statement on X. Earlier, Aron had called for a halt to trading in AMC stock tokens. Gallagher responded in English, "We know the U.S. securities laws" and "we will not" stop token trading. In response, Aron said Gallagher appeared to believe openly admitting he was ignoring the law meant he did not have to follow it. Aron also questioned why the tokens were being promoted on a U.S. website if stock tokens issued overseas could not be offered or sold to Americans. Aron added that if the practice was not illegal, it should be, and said either way the episode showed severely flawed judgment.

Balancer requested the return of $234,000 stolen in a recent attack that exploited a calculation error in a V1 BPool. Balancer said it would offer a bug bounty in exchange for the return of the stolen funds and would refrain from legal action if certain conditions are met. The protocol warned that if it receives no response by 5:00 p.m. UTC on Sept. 9, it plans to pursue technical, on-chain, and legal measures to track the hacker.

Bitmine chairman Tom Lee said about 20% of the top-performing stocks in the Russell 1000 since the start of the third quarter are crypto-related. In a post on X, Lee said BMNR ranked fourth with a 99% gain since the start of Q3, followed by Strategy (MSTR) in 12th place with a 67% rise, Circle (CRCL) in 14th with a 65% gain, and Bullish (BLSH) in 21st with a 55% increase. Lee added that with a little over a month left until the end of the third quarter, crypto-linked stocks posting such strong performance could emerge as investors’ next area of focus. The Russell 1000 is a U.S. stock index made up of the 1,000 largest companies by market capitalization.

A hacker who stole about $8.5 million in crypto by exploiting a governance vulnerability in DeFi protocol Term Labs in late August deposited 400 ETH, worth about $982,000, into crypto mixing protocol Tornado Cash, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield. The hacker has now deposited a total of 960 ETH, and the move likely forms part of an effort to make the stolen funds harder to trace.
