Odaily News: Circle announced that its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) now supports a prepaid fee feature for fast transfers. Previously, protocol fees were deducted directly from the USDC transfer amount on the destination chain. With this update, developers can pre-quote and collect fees via native gas tokens on the source chain or USDC before the transfer is executed, simplifying fee handling for cross-chain transfers and ensuring users receive the expected amount of USDC.According to Circle, the prepaid fee mechanism primarily improves fee predictability in cross-chain applications. Users no longer face reduced actual settlement amounts caused by additional deductions on the destination chain. Meanwhile, the CCTP Quote API can uniformly calculate fees across different supported chains and consolidate Fast Transfer and Forwarding fees into a single quote, eliminating the need for developers to build separate systems to calculate multiple protocol fees. Additionally, fees can be paid directly using source chain native tokens without reducing or impacting the actual USDC balance being transferred.
According to the post-incident report released by Tectonic, the Cronos blockchain lending protocol Tectonic suffered an oracle manipulation attack at 12:49 UTC on August 30, 2026. By repeatedly borrowing and re-collateralizing TONIC tokens 98 times within a single transaction, the attacker drove up the TONIC collateral price by approximately 195 times. Leveraging this artificially inflated value, they subsequently extracted assets with a nominal value of $120.4 million from nine lending markets, spanning USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH, and other assets. The attacker then bridged the stablecoins to Ethereum and converted them to ETH, while selling the remaining assets for CRO on the Cronos chain before withdrawing them. Approximately $9.19 million in total successfully escaped before the network halt. At 14:32 UTC, Cronos validators emergency-paused the network, rolling back the on-chain state to pre-attack conditions and restoring assets still held on Cronos. Currently, Tectonic's supply and borrowing functions remain suspended, while withdrawal and repayment capabilities continue normally. Tracing efforts for the stolen funds are being coordinated by blockchain forensics firms, law enforcement agencies, and stablecoin issuers, with freeze requests already filed with the relevant issuers.

Odaily News: The decentralized lending protocol Secured Finance's lending market was attacked on September 5, resulting in a loss of approximately $104,000. The root cause was that collateral was priced based on the average execution price of the order book for the current block, allowing attackers to influence the price through self-trading, causing fraudulent lending positions to be counted as valid collateral. The attacker initially deployed the contract but did not execute immediately, then used flash loans and self-trading to inflate the price and withdraw USDC. The original attacking wallet was rolled back due to insufficient gas fees; approximately 48 seconds later, the general-purpose sandwich bot coffeebabe took about 0.9 WBTC, worth approximately $72,000, and transferred about 28.8 ETH of it to the ultra sound money builder, keeping only about $29 for itself. Subsequently, another bot took part of the USDC.
Odaily News: Bitcoin fork asset BTCB2 hit an all-time high of $1,799 on September 5. Over the past 4 hours, its price has fluctuated between 750 and 1,000 USDC; the Neoxa USDC market recorded a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $1 million.BTCB2 originated from a chain split that occurred on August 8, 2026, at block height 961,632. The network subsequently changed its proof-of-work algorithm to Blake2 and reduced block size, and it can now be mined using Blake2-compatible ASIC miners.Neoxa Exchange and Nonkyc.io have listed BTCB2, with the former offering BTC, USDC, and USDT trading pairs, and the latter offering a USDT trading pair. Both platforms have limited liquidity, and CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko have not yet listed the asset.Based on a BTCB2 price of $1,000, its fully diluted valuation stands at approximately $20.9 billion. Since UTXOs need to be split from Bitcoin first, transactions may otherwise be vulnerable to replay attacks; the network's hash rate has risen by 30.41% over the past 7 days, reaching approximately 5.1 PH/s.

Odaily News, Circle has published a statement on the cirBTC reserve mechanism, stating that each cirBTC is backed 1:1 by one native BTC and can be redeemed for native BTC at a 1:1 ratio.
