Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Blockstream stated Jade is not affected by the Coldcard random number generator vulnerability, and has released firmware 1.0.41 following a large number of AI-assisted security reviews.Jade stated that it has undergone dozens of automated AI scans and multiple manual reviews, focusing on sensitive areas such as random number generation and transaction signing.The new firmware strengthens stack protection, updates dependencies, audits sensitive memory cleanup processes, and upgrades the Jade runtime environment.Blockstream stated that Jade's random number generation mechanism uses multiple entropy sources, including hardware chip noise, timing data, sensor data, and camera noise, mixed via SHA-512 to prevent a single entropy source failure from affecting seed generation.The team stated that other lower-severity findings are still being addressed, and firmware 1.0.42 is expected to be released within a shorter development cycle.
Odaily News - The UK government has released its first official statistics on taxable crypto asset gains, with 240 individuals each declaring over £1 million in capital gains for the 2024-25 tax year, totaling £717 million—accounting for more than half of the £1.38 billion declared by 17,600 individuals.HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) stated that 17,600 individuals declared £13.8 billion in proceeds from crypto asset disposals and £1.38 billion in taxable gains, averaging approximately £78,000 per person. Of these, around 87% were male and 13% female. Selling, exchanging, spending tokens, or gifting assets to others may all trigger tax obligations.HMRC has issued 81,000 crypto tax letters over the past 12 months, a 25% increase from approximately 65,000, and nearly three times the 27,714 letters issued in the 2023-24 tax year. James Murray, Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General, stated that gains from crypto assets are subject to tax just like other gains.The UK plans to adjust tax treatment for certain DeFi transactions starting April 6, 2027, with related lending and liquidity pool transactions typically deferring capital gains tax until an economic disposal occurs.

HMRC estimates that its crypto tax compliance and education campaigns have generated an additional £168 million in capital gains tax revenue in 2024-25. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News: Isabel Schnabel, a member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank (ECB), stated at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium that central bank reserves remain superior to stablecoins as the ultimate settlement asset, and that the ECB must place central bank reserves on the blockchain. She noted that stablecoins lack the independent capacity to rapidly expand liquidity during periods of financial stress.Schnabel stated that tokenization can make financial transactions faster, safer, and programmable, but only if central bank money operates on the same infrastructure as other tokenized assets. The ECB's Project Pontes is scheduled to launch in September 2026, initially connecting TARGET services with DLT platforms operated by market participants.Project Pontes will subsequently support direct settlement on DLT platforms operating within the Eurosystem, gradually incorporating smart contract functionality and 24/7 operation. Project Appia, meanwhile, is responsible for developing the long-term architecture, technical standards, and legal framework for the European tokenized asset market, with a complete blueprint expected by 2028.

"Fed whisperer" Nick Timiraos reported that Fed Chair Warsh has calmed some concerns about his strategy to fight inflation, but has also set the stage for a bigger test that could come three weeks later. If the Fed raises interest rates, it could anger the White House weeks before the midterm elections. If it holds steady, it could reignite the doubts that the speech had eased.Two points in Warsh's speech on Friday particularly suggest the Fed may raise rates next month. First, Warsh found it difficult to characterize current financial conditions as restrictive. Second, the more favorable inflation data over the summer did not convince him that the underlying trend is improving. Before Friday, the Fed's default option was to hold steady unless the data was strong enough to justify action.Former Fed Vice Chair Kohn said Warsh's speech reversed that logic. "He has changed the original assumption—now it's that unless the data shows there is no need, they will raise rates." This means the final decision will depend on how the situation evolves before the September meeting, especially the August CPI report due on September 11. Kohn said that if the data suggests no action is needed, the Fed should not raise rates; if the data is strong, it could weaken the argument that inflation is heading back toward the Fed's 2% target.

In response to recent warnings from Bank for International Settlements (BIS) General Manager Pablo Hernández de Cos regarding the potential risks stablecoins may pose to financial stability, Tether CEO Paolo Ardonio lashed out at the BIS on the X platform. He stated that stablecoins and tokenized bank deposits have fundamentally different underlying risk structures. Stablecoins are essentially instruments fully backed by 100% reserves of highly liquid assets, such as U.S. Treasury securities. By contrast, tokenized bank deposits remain deposits within the banking system and typically operate under a fractional reserve model, where only a portion is backed by highly liquid assets.

Odaily News: The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, worth approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, exploiting the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, and funneled the funds into Tornado Cash. The stolen assets have not yet been recovered.Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in Ethereum's public mempool, buys ahead of the target transaction, and sells after the transaction pushes the price up, capturing profits from the spread. The bot's primary contract had received a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH as of August 28.MEV-Boost block construction is centralized among a small group of participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute regulated relays collectively forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of related blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builder independently assembled 50.3% of the blocks.
