well-known trader Bonk Guy posted in a TG channel stating that Arc is essentially a stablecoin public chain, and suitable use cases such as stablecoins may be found in the future. Although he has already bought Meme coins on the Arc chain, he plans to hold them for only a few days at most, and emphasized that if participating in Meme coin trading on Arc, it should be treated as a short-term opportunity.Bonk Guy further pointed out that for a long time, Arc has been one of the "best-executed" public chain launches. In the early stages after launch, the project connected to multiple key platforms such as FOMO and DEX Screener, with major launch platforms including Argus, Tolly, Lift, and Long.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin Core 32.0 entered its final testing phase on September 14, with its official release scheduled for October 10. This update adds a transaction fee estimator based on real-time mempool status, enabling fee estimates to be lowered more quickly once network congestion subsides. It also enables multi-threaded parallel reading of transaction data to speed up node blockchain synchronization, defaulting to 8 threads. Security-wise, it resolves a wallet naming vulnerability on non-Windows systems since version 24.0 that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the node host via a specially crafted wallet name. Additionally, it patches an out-of-memory vulnerability in the newly added built-in web server; testing indicates that 16 unauthenticated connections can spike node memory usage from 46MB to roughly 3GB in approximately one minute. This update does not include any changes to Bitcoin's consensus rules.

institutional-grade onchain Vault infrastructure R25 has announced an upgrade to version 2.0, opening its previously closed infrastructure to a broader ecosystem. R25 2.0 positions itself as "Vault Infrastructure as a Service," offering asset managers, traders, quant teams, and emerging portfolio managers a one-stop solution for Vault deployment, operations, and scaling.The core change lies in the shift of the issuance threshold: qualified asset managers can configure, deploy, and operate Vault smart contracts in minutes using natural language, greatly lowering the technical barrier to turning curated strategies into composable, transparent smart contracts. R25 2.0 supports building strategies from over 2,000 onchain assets across RWA, Crypto, and DeFi, while preserving institutional-grade transparency and risk control standards; it also offers one-click Vault deployment and AI backtesting, supports access to the global onchain capital network, and connects custodians, exchanges, wallets, fintech/Neobanks, and crypto-native investors. In other words, asset managers only need to define strategy, fee rates, and risk parameters, while contract deployment, asset onboarding, NAV calculation, and capital distribution are handled by R25's modular infrastructure.This open architecture is built on the validation of R25 1.0. The R25 Curator lineup includes Axil, Raffaello, Ember Protocol, among others, with the private credit Vault issued by Axil reaching $130 million in TVL after launch. The production-grade infrastructure supporting such Vaults includes modular Vault architecture, asynchronous deposits and withdrawals, standardized NAV and portfolio accounting, onchain strategy management and execution, configurable fees and risk management, as well as multiple rounds of security audits. R25 2.0 is expected to officially launch in Q4 2026.
