Bitcoin Core 29.1 cut the default minimum relay fee from 1 sat/vB to 0.1 sat/vB, making Bitcoin transactions significantly cheaper while keeping DoS protection. Bitcoin’s core software lowered the default minimum relay fee for transactions, marking one of the most significant changes in years for economically moving funds across the network. Bitcoin Core 29.1, released on Sept. 4, sets the default minimum relay fee rate to 100 satoshis per thousand virtual bytes (0.1 sats/vB), a 90% reduction from the previous default rate of 1 sat/vB. Users pay their fees in satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin) multiplied by the size of their transaction. While every individual node operator can change this setting, most are expected to stick with the default value. Nodes do not relay and mostly ignore transactions with fees lower than the value they set for the minimum relay fee rate. Read more -

Second-generation stablecoins separate yield from principal, enabling holders to earn returns while keeping liquidity and turning static dollars into productive assets. Opinion by: Reeve Collins, co-founder of Tether and chairman of STBL Stablecoins have become the universal backbone of digital markets. Every month, trillions of dollars flow through them. Globally, they clear trades, settle remittances and provide a safe harbor for cash onchain. Yet despite their broad adoption, the original design has barely changed since 2014. The first generation of stablecoins solved one problem: how to put a reliable digital dollar on the blockchain. Tether USDt (USDT), and later USDC (USDC), delivered precisely that. Simple, fully reserved and redeemable, they gave crypto the stability it needed to grow. But they were also static, like dollars locked in a vault. Holders earned nothing while issuers captured all the yield. That structure fit the market 10 years ago. In 2025, it is no longer enough. Read more -

Polkadot said that under the old tokenomics model, the total supply of DOT could have swelled to more than 3.4 billion tokens by 2040. Polkadot’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) passed a referendum approving a hard cap on the network’s native token for the first time. The decision set the maximum supply at 2.1 billion Polkadot (DOT) tokens, a significant pivot from the previous tokenomics model, under which new tokens were indefinitely issued yearly. Under the old inflationary model, Polkadot minted about 120 million DOT tokens annually, with no limit on the token’s total supply. The project said the supply could have swelled to more than 3.4 billion tokens by 2040 under the old model. The new framework introduces a gradual issuance reduction every two years.
