The measure is part of the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which took effect on Friday, according to an announcement from the European Commission. Manufacturers must submit an early warning for severe vulnerabilities within 24 hours, followed by a full notification within 72 hours. A final report will be required 14 days after corrective or mitigating measures are available and within one month fo…

ARKB, GBTC and IBIT led Bitcoin ETF withdrawals, while BlackRock’s ETHA pushed Ether ETFs into weekly inflows. US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted $462.7 million in net outflows last week, reversing after three consecutive weeks of inflows, while Ether ETFs moved the other way with nearly $197 million in net inflows.

The selling deepened on Thursday, when US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $282.7 million, their largest daily withdrawal since July. Friday’s outflow slowed to $13.2 million,…

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said issuers should be involved if tokenized products change shareholder rights or company obligations, but not when they create separate instruments backed by shares. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said companies should not have veto power over tokenized stock products that do not change shareholder rights, issuer obligations or a company’s official stock ledger. In a post on X on Friday, Tenev said the question of issuer consent depends on whether a tokenized product changes the rights attached to the underlying shares or creates new obligations for the company or its transfer agent. If it does, he said the issuer should be involved. However, Tenev said if the product creates a separate financial instrument that holds or references freely transferable shares without…
The 635-page revised proposal includes Trump-backed ethics provisions and comes just two days before a key procedural vote. Senate Republicans on Sunday released revised text of the CLARITY Act aimed at swaying Democrats ahead of a procedural vote on Tuesday, featuring major changes to rules relating to government officials’ involvement with digital assets. The 635-page proposal, released by US Senate Banking Digital Assets Subcommittee Chair Cynthia Lummis alongside Chairmen John Boozman and Tim Scott, also includes changes to the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) and provisions governing stablecoin yield. Lummis said the new ethics provisions had been agreed to by US President Donald Trump. “After a year of intense daily bipartisan negotiations, this bill is ready,” she said. “…
Attackers reportedly published identity documents and selfies belonging to Revolut customers and threatened to release more data each day until the fintech pays. Threat actors who obtained sensitive Revolut customer information appear to have begun posting the information online and are threatening to release more data every day until “revolut pays.” The newly leaked information reportedly includes selfies and copies of identity documents belonging to tennis player Alexander Shevchenko and Gamdom CEO Felix Römer, CEO of online crypto casino Gamdom, according to an X post from International Cyber Digest on Sunday. “We’re going to start releasing more and more data everyday until revolut pays for leaking their customers,” the attackers reportedly said on Telegram.

Crypto’s moment of CLARITY finally arrives with a key Senate vote on Tuesday. AI swarm fears prompt development slowdown, with some predicting big falls in AI stock prices. The CLARITY act heads for a crucial Senate vote on September 15, with Politico reporting that Democrat senators were called to a meeting on Sunday by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to discuss their position. While Polymarket puts the odds of CLARITY becoming law this year at just 24%, the odds of there being 60 votes in favor of the cloture vote on Tuesday are higher, as it would simply move the bill into the amendment and debate phase. That’s where the rubber would hit the road on issues that have drained support so far including ethics provisions for elected officials, stablecoin yield, and protections for decentralize…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman agrees with safety concerns regarding AI development, says no initial share sale this year. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a blog post on Saturday that the speed of AI development is too fast and that left unchecked it may “outrun our ability to understand and control these systems.” He noted that AI’s current blistering advance is being driven by its own increasing ability to build the next generation of AI, or recursive self-improvement. Amodei also cited the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident in July, in which a swarm of agents acted as a “fanatically devoted collective,” breaking out of their testing environment and attempting to hack into a grader evaluating their performance.
Passports, selfies and financial transaction histories of some customers were revealed to a fraudster using a government agency domain. Financial tech and banking company Revolut released sensitive customer data, including copies of passports, verification selfies and full transaction histories after receiving a fraudulent request that seemed to be from a government agency. Requests for customer information sent from a legitimate government agency email domain passed Revolut’s authentication checks, according to International Cyber Digest posting on X. Revolut later concluded they were not authentic, and customers whose information was compromised were notified on Friday. A company spokesperson told Cointelegraph on Saturday that “Revolut recently identified a sophisticated external impe…
The DPRK has turned to third-country IT workers to pass job interviews, after which, the positions are usually taken over by North Korean operatives. North Korea (DPRK) is now using remote workers from third countries, including Iran and Lebanon, to aid its efforts to infiltrate US companies and obtain money to fund its weapons programs, NBC reported on Friday. An alert issued in July by the US government and several foreign agencies said North Korean IT workers “seek out contracts with the intent of remitting their salaries to their parent North Korean agencies. They also pose an insider threat to companies and are involved in data exfiltration, cryptocurrency theft, and theft of sensitive information.” As the US and other governments have moved to counter North Korea’s efforts, the DPRK…

The Crypto Banter founder said Hyperliquid’s network effects give it a strong competitive moat, but regulatory uncertainty remains its biggest threat. Crypto Banter founder Ran Neuner said regulation poses the biggest risk to Hyperliquid, warning that decentralized exchanges could eventually face greater government scrutiny. Speaking on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction podcast, Neuner said regulators have begun establishing rules for centralized crypto exchanges and predicted decentralized platforms would be next. “The biggest issue is that we don’t know how regulators are going to treat the decentralized exchanges,” Neuner said.
