According to CoinDesk, London-based crypto institutional technology services provider Haruko was targeted by a cyberattack earlier this week, affecting a total of 15 clients. Attackers exploited vulnerabilities in Haruko’s infrastructure to extract user access tokens, gaining access to clients’ read-only exchange API information and trading data. A small amount of client funds were stolen, and smaller hedge funds with weaker security controls face a higher risk of loss. Haruko co-founder and CTO Adam Carlile confirmed that the attack specifically targeted Haruko itself. The vulnerability has been patched, and the company plans to release a complete technical post-incident report. Haruko serves over 80 institutional clients globally and connects to more than 100 centralized exchanges and 30 blockchains.
Bybit officially launched the TradFi Perp Option today, using stock perpetual contracts as the underlying asset to combine option structures with the 24/7 liquidity of the crypto market, filling the gaps in traditional financial options regarding trading hours and entry thresholds. The product initially supports TSLA and NVDA starting September 17, and will expand to underlyings such as QQQ, SOXL, MU, SKHY, SPCX, and SNDK. This is a European-style option with a fixed expiration date. Unlike traditional stock options, it enables 24/7 round-the-clock trading, covering US stock pre-market, after-hours, and weekend periods; it settles in USDT cash, requiring no physical stock holdings or linked brokerage accounts; the contract multiplier is 1, supporting fractional trading, which completely breaks the traditional options threshold of 100 shares per contract. In terms of capital efficiency, the TradFi Perp Option supports the Portfolio Margin model. For buy-sell spread combinations, the long and short legs are automatically hedged, and margin is calculated based on net risk, significantly improving capital utilization. Users can seamlessly execute complete option strategies such as naked long/short Calls/Puts, spreads, and straddles through a single Bybit UTA account. The current non-VIP fee rate is 0.0300% Maker/Taker (promotional pricing valid until the end of December). The app version must be upgraded to 5.25.0 or higher.

Odaily reports: Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis has released a report stating that hackers are increasingly leveraging open-source artificial intelligence (AI) to implant malware control instructions into on-chain transactions and smart contracts, with such cases surging approximately 440% in less than a year. Data shows that these incidents have risen from roughly 2 per day to approximately 11 per day. Attackers write malicious instructions on-chain to manipulate infected devices into stealing passwords and funds, and redirect assets to designated wallets; since on-chain records cannot be deleted, defense and interception are becoming increasingly difficult.The report notes that state-sponsored hackers from countries such as North Korea and Iran have become the primary drivers of such activity. Open-source models support local independent operation and modification, allowing them to directly bypass cloud-based defenses. However, the public and transparent nature of blockchain also leaves critical evidence for tracing attack infrastructure. (Bloomberg)
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.

CoinEx founder Yang Haipo posted on X regarding the shutdown and orderly wind-down of CoinEx, stating that CoinEx's asset reserve ratio currently exceeds 100%, and all user assets are fully backed by sufficient reserves and can be withdrawn normally.Regarding the reasons for the shutdown, Yang Haipo stated that CoinEx had been operating for nine years but ultimately failed to become an industry-leading exchange, while the security and compliance risks of operating a crypto exchange have become increasingly difficult to control. "Revenue can decline, but responsibility will not diminish. Taking on unlimited risk for limited revenue is no longer a rational choice."Yang Haipo also revealed that he had seriously considered selling CoinEx but ultimately decided against it. He stated that users entrusted their assets to CoinEx based on trust in the platform and, in many cases, in him personally, and therefore believed that handing over the platform and that trust to a new owner was not the right way to end this journey. In addition, CoinEx will ensure that users can withdraw their full balances and will buy back CET at unlimited quantities at its initial listing price of 0.005 USDT/CET.

Odaily News: Crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform responding to recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explaining his position-building logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was around $3 million but did not buy in. After observing for a day, he revisited his research due to the platform's rapid data growth and bought in from around a $7 million market cap all the way up to a $20 million market cap.Bonk Guy said that EMBER is a major Launchpad built on Meteora, supporting SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as pairing assets for token issuance. It utilizes Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology and offers features such as token fee distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember has recorded approximately $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, and has cumulatively issued 2,041 tokens within 3 days of launch, with over 41,800 unique holder addresses and 149,000 Solana transactions. BonkGuy compared his Ember purchase to his previous PONS trade, noting that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below $1 million, similarly ignored it for a full day, and then started buying at around a $4 million market cap. Rather than whether a trending token has already emerged, what matters more is observing the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, while Solana's Meme trading ecosystem has been developing for a longer time, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also stated that his trades are not based on market consensus. Some of his most successful trades in the past often came from discovering opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone agrees, the asymmetric upside potential has usually already been significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy said that the claim of "EMBER having over 50% Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his earlier statement that Ember was "launched by Meteora" was also inaccurate—a more precise description is that Ember is built on Meteora-related infrastructure and has now been listed on Meteora's ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.

Odaily Reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Electrum has released version 4.8.2, introducing multiple security fixes and strengthening the security of its Bitcoin wallet codebase. The fixes are based on reports from researchers including Bitcoin Red Team, Calle, l0rinc, haoxucu, and m0wer. This version fixes a critical backup issue affecting certain Lightning wallets that use non-deterministic keys and anchor channels. Previously, affected wallets' channel backups and full wallet backups may have been missing the keys required to move funds on-chain after requesting a remote force close. Affected users will receive a warning when starting Electrum and should export new backups, as old backups cannot correctly recover funds in this scenario. This version also strengthens Lightning HTLC verification, rejects previously accepted malformed xpub/xprv keys, expands codebase security hardening, and prevents the Android QR code scanner from reading screenshots. This is Electrum's third security-focused release since July, following versions 4.8.0 and 4.8.1.
