Odaily News Bitcoin nodes running BIP-110 rules have begun enforcing mandatory signaling mechanisms at block height 961,632. Latest data shows that BIP-110 miner signaling support fluctuates between just 0.3% and 2.6%, with no major mining pool publicly supporting the proposal. Nodes enabling BIP-110 enforcement rules are mainly operated by users running Bitcoin Knots software. These nodes subsequently reject blocks that do not emit signals, effectively isolating themselves from the Bitcoin main network.It is reported that the BIP-110 signaling period will continue until Bitcoin block height 965,664, expected to conclude in approximately four weeks. At that point, the community will face the critical decision of whether to activate the proposal. If the 55% miner support threshold is reached during the signaling period, BIP-110's data limit rules will take effect at block height 965,664 and remain active for approximately one year, covering around 52,416 blocks.Analysts point out that unlike the 2017 Bitcoin Cash fork, the BIP-110 split lacks substantial miner support and exchange infrastructure. If the number of nodes and hash power separating from the main chain proves insufficient, the forked chain could face severe block production speed issues. Since Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment mechanism relies on stable hash power, when a minority chain loses adequate miner support, block generation times could extend from the target 10 minutes to several hours or even days.For Bitcoin Knots node operators who have already enabled BIP-110 rules, the current practical impact is that their nodes can no longer stay synchronized with the Bitcoin main network. Going forward, they will need to either disable the enforcement rules and resynchronize with the main chain, or continue running this independent network that lacks widespread support.

According to CoinDesk, the controversial BIP-110 soft fork proposal initiated the signaling window at Bitcoin block height 961,632 at approximately 3:35 AM Beijing Time early this Sunday morning (UTC 19:35), officially entering the mandatory signaling phase. The proposal aims to temporarily restrict non-financial data from being written to the Bitcoin blockchain, but currently the miner support rate is extremely low, with the proportion of supporting miners far below the 55% activation threshold required by the proposal.

Odaily News: The Bitcoin network has experienced a fork due to the BIP-110 proposal. Nodes supporting the proposal rejected blocks at height 961,632 that did not contain a signal of support. As of now, the Bitcoin main chain has advanced to block 961,651, while the BIP-110 fork chain has only reached block 961,633, trailing the main chain by 18 blocks.BIP-110 is a one-year rule adjustment aimed at limiting non-financial data writes in Bitcoin transactions, including uses such as Ordinals inscriptions. The proposal requires that within a roughly two-week period of 2,016 blocks, at least 1,109 blocks (55%) signal support to activate, but the previous period only saw support from 51 blocks, accounting for 2.53%.Currently, the BIP-110 chain still needs more miner support to continue advancing. According to the rules, the chain must reach block 963,648 to lock in the rules, and will begin formally enforcing the restrictions at block 965,664, lasting approximately one year. (The Block)
Bitcoin Improvement Proposal BIP-110 entered the forced signaling phase at block 961,632, with miner support at only 2.53%, far below the 55% early activation threshold, resulting in a brief fork between enforcing nodes and the main chain.

Odaily News: U.S. banking giant Wells Fargo plans to launch tokenized deposits for select corporate and commercial clients in fall 2026, initially supporting USD and GBP transactions, with plans to expand to more clients and currencies in 2027. Tokenized deposits remain bank liabilities but can enable continuous transfers, programmable payments, faster settlement, and transaction visibility via blockchain. Wells Fargo is not the only bank pursuing this initiative. JPMorgan has already expanded its blockchain-based payment services for institutional clients, and other major financial institutions are developing similar products and shared networks. Meanwhile, the circulation and transaction volume of stablecoins such as USDC continue to grow, and they are already used for settlement across crypto markets, payment networks, and tokenized finance platforms. Tokenized deposits allow funds to remain within the regulated banking system while supporting time-based transfers and condition-triggered payments. Stablecoins, on the other hand, already cover trading, remittance, cross-border payments, decentralized finance, and tokenized asset settlement. Enterprise adoption of both product types will also be influenced by accounting treatment, regulatory rules, and cross-network interoperability.
Odaily News, ECX developer Paul Sztorc has announced that the ECX hard fork will be rolled out in three phases, rather than the originally planned single release on August 23. ECX is a new blockchain that replicates the complete transaction history of Bitcoin at specified block heights. Nearly all Bitcoin holders, except for those holding a portion of Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoins, will receive an equivalent amount of ECX, while the Bitcoin network itself remains unchanged. The first Alpha version will be activated on August 23 at block height 963,648, the Beta version will go live on September 20 at block height 967,680, and the permanent full version is scheduled for release on October 31 at block height 973,728. Tokens collected during the Alpha and Beta phases can be burned and exchanged for official ECX once the permanent chain goes live. ECX's replay protection remains an optional mechanism. The official wallet will enable this protection and remind users before executing transactions. Paul Sztorc stated that if users ignore the reminders, ECX will replay their Bitcoin transactions, causing the associated Bitcoins to be transferred out along with the user's actions and moved to new holders. October 31 also marks the 18th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto publishing the Bitcoin whitepaper.
Odaily News: U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has filed a motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to consideration of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), with the Senate scheduled to hold the related procedural vote on September 15. The vote is expected to take place when the Senate reconvenes at 2:15 PM ET that day. The motion requires 60 votes to pass, meaning Republican lawmakers will need Democratic support to clear the procedural threshold. The two parties are still negotiating over provisions such as ethics rules and stablecoin reward regulations, with those differences having previously prevented an agreement before the August recess. This vote only concerns whether to begin floor consideration of the bill and does not represent a final vote or passage by the Senate. The CLARITY Act aims to establish a federal market structure for digital assets, clarify the conditions under which certain crypto assets are subject to securities or commodities law, and define the regulatory responsibilities of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Odaily News – Robinhood Chain has surpassed $800 million in total value locked and processed over 200 million transactions within a little over a month since its launch. Johann Kerbrat, head of crypto at financial services firm Robinhood, stated that the team chose an Ethereum Layer 2 network to leverage existing security and decentralization capabilities while focusing resources on product development. Robinhood Chain is part of Robinhood's push to bring brokerage services on-chain, allowing users to trade approximately 200 tokenized stocks, buy and sell real-world assets, lend and borrow stablecoins, and trade perpetual contracts on the network. Kerbrat noted that developer activity is also a key metric for assessing network adoption. Kerbrat said Robinhood Chain caters to financial products such as tokenized stocks and derivatives, while also supporting Meme coins to meet user demand and provide liquidity. Robinhood aims to attract users who have never used cryptocurrency before, rather than competing with other blockchains for existing users.

Odaily News: Bitcoin added 2.27 million new wallets this week, with active wallet count reaching 751,000, marking the highest on-chain activity in months. On July 31, active addresses briefly approached 978,000—approximately 1.6 times the July daily average—while the first week of August averaged around 751,000 daily, up from July's average of roughly 610,000. Daily average exchange inflows stood at approximately $1.55 billion, down from July's $1.67 billion, with fund movements not accompanied by significant exchange buying activity. This surge in activity is linked to a firmware vulnerability in Coldcard devices from hardware wallet manufacturer Coinkite. The vulnerability affects certain Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, and Q models, where seed generation utilizes a software random number generator, reducing the actual randomness of some devices to approximately 40 or 72 bits. Since July 30, related bitcoin losses have exceeded $116 million. Holders of affected devices have transferred funds to new addresses and replaced them with unaffected hardware devices. Coinkite has released firmware patches and entropy remediation disclosure documents. This vulnerability stems from a random number generation issue in device firmware, not a flaw in the Bitcoin protocol layer.
