Odaily News: According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, a GNGN-associated address (0x5d04...60db) deposited 6,100 ETH to Coinbase 8 hours ago, worth $16.38 million. Tracing back, this ETH was cross-chain bridged from the Robinhood network to the Ethereum mainnet 6 days ago, and may represent Robinhood network fee revenue.
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone (@mikemcglone11) noted that the Market Vector Digital Assets 100 Index (MVDA) has ceased outperforming the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) since the launch of Bitcoin futures in 2017. Although MVDA volatility is approximately three times that of the NDX, performance has remained flat over the past decade, and its positive correlation with the NDX fails to provide effective portfolio diversification benefits. McGlone stated that the approval of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs and the policy shift ahead of the 2024 Trump election may already mark a local peak for the crypto market, with a low probability of further upside. Approximately two-thirds of the MVDA's constituents consist of Bitcoin.

DYORSWAP has released an "Official Statement Regarding the Fake GIWA Mainnet 9134 Incident," stating that the incident was not a DYOR contract vulnerability, but rather was caused by a fraudulent network impersonating GIWA Chain 9134. This network had a bridge and batcher similar to OP Stack, deployed on September 27, 2026, at 02:10:59 (UTC+8). Approximately 8.5 hours before deployment, the address received about 0.045 ETH from a ChangeHero-related address. Data shows that a total of 1,335 addresses bridged approximately 767.65 ETH to it, of which about 766.25 ETH was ultimately transferred out from the cross-chain bridge.DYORSWAP stated that it has already used its own funds to compensate affected users with over 200 ETH. Additionally, the team is still tracking the cross-chain bridge deployer, the source of funds, early test wallets, and the subsequent flow of the transferred funds.
On September 28, military conflicts continued to escalate across the Middle East as Israel launched strikes against Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen, while Iran warned that it was preparing to counterattack the United States. Meanwhile, the US and Iran clashed over oil price trends and macroeconomic indicators.
privacy blockchain project Zano has rolled back its blockchain to block height 3,833,000, before the 6th hard fork, deleting approximately one month of on-chain transaction records in order to address an inflation vulnerability involving Gateway Addresses.The vulnerability allowed unauthorized minting of the native token ZANO and the USD-pegged stablecoin fUSD. Zano stated that the core consensus protocol, wallet spending keys, and ordinary transaction privacy were not affected, and that nodes, miners, stakers, and service providers need to adopt the update.Freedom Dollar stated that millions of dollars in assets held by the project had been swapped into counterfeit fUSD, and that the related losses will be borne by the project. Freedom Dollar has asked fUSD holders to suspend economic activity involving the token until the stabilized Zano chain is confirmed after repairs. (Bitcoin.com News)
Bitcoin treasury company Strive CEO Matt Cole posted "Turn amplification up some more," hinting that the company could once again increase its Bitcoin holdings next week.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, planning to achieve 1,000x scaling through over three years of protocol restructuring and to evolve toward privacy and quantum security.
Odaily reports: Vitalik posted on X that Snowmoon is now complete. Snowmoon is an original science fiction novel by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, totaling 32 chapters.This is Vitalik's first publicly released complete long-form fictional work. It is not purely an entertainment novel; rather, it embeds his years of thinking in areas such as Ethereum, mechanism design, privacy technology, and pluralistic governance into a narrative framework for exploration. After its release, it quickly sparked discussion in the crypto community, and even related meme coins emerged (such as $SNOWMOON, $ZIPCOIN, etc.), but the core remains this open-source sci-fi story itself.
Paradis posted on X platform stating that it expects Micron's fourth-quarter revenue to be $51.9 billion, above the $50 billion guidance; gross margin at 86.5%, above the approximately 86% guidance; and earnings per share at $32.30, above the $31 guidance. It stated that this forecast is significantly higher than market consensus, that its model may be overly optimistic, and that it plans to publish a brief before Micron releases its earnings report.
According to TheEnergyMag, Bitcoin miner MARA announced it has paid a $100 million power deposit for its data center project in Matagorda County, Texas, and adjusted the payment and exit terms of the transaction with sustainable fuel developer HIF USA. Located southwest of Houston, the project spans over 1,200 acres and has a planned power capacity of up to 2 gigawatts, which MARA plans to use to build a campus supporting high-performance computing and Bitcoin mining. Under the revised agreement, payments originally contingent on regulatory approval will now be paid in two installments, with the maximum total acquisition price for the project remaining capped at $600 million provided all milestones are met.
Bitcoin treasury company Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor once again posted information related to the Bitcoin Tracker, captioned "Even more orange". Based on previous patterns, Strategy typically discloses changes in its Bitcoin holdings the day after such information is released.
According to a blog post by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum is transitioning from a traditional blockchain architecture to a "cryptographic world computer." The article notes that fundamental changes have occurred at core levels such as verification mechanisms, consensus algorithms, and block production—shifting from full-data download and re-execution to PeerDAS sampling coupled with SNARK verification, evolving consensus from PoW to a highly optimized PoS, and moving block production rights from a single miner to multi-party collaboration under the FOCIL mechanism. From a user experience standpoint, Ethereum by 2030 will achieve strong censorship resistance (ensuring real-time transaction on-chain inclusion), reduced costs for general-purpose computing, stronger privacy guarantees (leveraging ZK-SNARKs alongside private account abstraction), and lighter node operational requirements. The article emphasizes that decentralized networks are evolving from a "security burden" into a performance advantage, enabling parallel processing of data and computation. The planned Hegota upgrade will serve as Ethereum's final "routine" fork; thereafter, recursive STARKs, automated formal verification, and quantum-safe mechanisms will be fully implemented, and Ethereum's core narrative will completely pivot toward the realization of a cryptographic world computer.
Polygon co-founder Sandeep posted on X that the POL community has recently accumulated and permanently burned 100 million POL tokens through on-chain revenue, accounting for approximately 1% of the total supply, with an additional ~25 million POL to be burned subsequently. Sandeep also stated that POL (formerly MATIC) remains the "most undervalued and overlooked project." He noted that Polymarket has already launched perpetual contracts on Polygon. Following recent upgrades, Polygon PoS is gradually evolving into a more advanced blockchain, expected to achieve 1-millisecond confirmation times via block streaming in the future. Additionally, OMS will soon increase Polygon's daily transaction processing capacity by approximately 1 million.
Odaily report: DyorSwap has officially announced that the so-called "GIWA mainnet" previously identified by the team was actually a fake chain set up by scammers. The fake network used the correct GIWA chain ID (9134), making it appear legitimate during the initial verification stage. The team also identified several suspicious messages and individuals in the related community who may be connected to this incident. The announcement stated that significant losses have already been caused through this fraudulent cross-chain bridge.DyorSwap stated that it is immediately taking three measures: first, contacting a professional security team to conduct further on-chain tracing and investigate the addresses, transactions, and fund flows involved; second, preserving all relevant evidence, including chat records, RPC information, cross-chain bridge addresses, and on-chain transactions; third, preparing to use treasury funds to compensate affected users, with eligibility criteria, loss verification procedures, compensation scope, and a detailed plan to be announced after the investigation and verification process is completed.DyorSwap emphasized that until further notice, users should not use any unofficial GIWA mainnet RPCs, cross-chain bridges, or contracts, and should not send funds to any related addresses. The official team deeply apologizes to every user affected by this incident and stated that further updates will be released as soon as possible.
Odaily News: GIWA posted on X to remind the community that the mainnet has not yet launched, so there is no possibility of a so-called "RPC leak" connecting to GIWA mainnet network interfaces/node addresses. GIWA emphasized that any content claiming to have GIWA mainnet RPC information is untrue, and reminded users to verify relevant contract information before interacting with contracts, and to beware of FUD and scams.GIWA is an Ethereum Layer 2 launched by South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, built on OP Stack. The chain is currently live on testnet, with the mainnet to follow.
The official GIWA account (@GIWA_by_Upbit) issued a clarification stating that the project's mainnet has not yet launched and no RPC has ever been deployed, meaning there is no risk of any RPC leak. Users were reminded to conduct their own research (DYOR) and remain vigilant against FUD and fraudulent information. GIWA is an Ethereum L2 project developed by Upbit’s parent company, Dunamu, based on the OP Stack. Aiming for 1-second block times and EVM compatibility, the project is currently still in the testnet phase.
MicroStrategy founder Saylor released the "Digital Bill of Rights", advocating for digital identity, asset ownership, and financial freedom to be established as fundamental rights to drive future economic prosperity and legislative protection.
