U.S. federal prosecutors have been investigating whether Binance knowingly allowed trading that violated Iran sanctions, nearly three years after its $4.3 billion federal settlement, according to a Sept. 22 Bloomberg report.　　Bloomberg said the Manhattan U.S. Attorney‘s Office is leading the inquiry, while the Justice Department’s Criminal Division in Washington is participating.

The exchange said, “We fully cooperate with law enforcement, and we remain committed to rooting out and shutting down bad actors.” The Justice Department declined to comment to Reuters, while the Manhattan U.S. Attorneys Office was not immediately available for comment outside normal business hours.　　Breaking: U.S. Prosecutors Probe Binance Over Possible Iran Sanctions Violations　　U.S. federal prosecutors are investigating whether Binance, the worlds largest crypto exchange, violated U.S. sanctions on Iran by knowingly allowing certain transactions to proceed, Bloomberg… pic.twitter.com/P1VBmC1Jfu　　— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 22, 2026　　Binance Iran sanctions probe focuses on compliance controls　　The reported investigation centers on whether Binance knowingly permitted trading that should have been stopped under U.S. sanctions, according

Monks Erased an Archimedes Manuscript, and Science May Have Lost Centuries

Key TakeawaysHeiberg uncovered Archimedes erased work in 1906 beneath a medieval prayer book.Archimedes manuscript sold for $2 million in 1998, opening the door to modern imaging.Archimedes ideas predated Newton and Leibniz by 1,800 years, raising preservation questions.　　A prayer book traced back to Constantinople turned out to be a palimpsest, its parchment recycled by monks who overwrote a hidden trove of Archimedes work. When Danish philologist Johan Ludvig Heiberg examined it in 1906, he found faint remnants that would later be identified as “Method of Mechanical Theorems.” The manuscript resurfaced at auction for USD 2 million, and modern ultraviolet, infrared, and X-ray analysis pulled the erased text into view. What it shows is uncomfortable: Archimedes had laid mathematical foundations in combinatory mathematics nearly 1,800 years before Newton and Leibniz.　　A monumental mind, still speaking to Silicon Valley　　Every so often, the tech world gets a reminder that progress is not a straight line. Long before cloud computing or chip roadmaps, Archimedeswas sketching ideas about areas, volumes, and infinity that feel surprisingly familiar to anyone who has watched modern math power software, engineering, and todays AI boom. Then much of that work nearly vanished for good.　　The part that grabs me, even as we track

Trueo prediction market moves from Base to Ethereum

Prediction market platform Trueo plans to migrate from Base to Ethereum, citing broader integration opportunities and plans to build the next iteration of its oracle system.　　The project, which launched on Base in March 2025, said its priority after the migration will be attracting liquidity and launching the next generation of its oracle, the system used to verify real-world outcomes that are used to resolve prediction markets.　　Trueo said it chose to move from Base to Ethereum because it offered higher integration potential and product upside, while on Base, integrations are limited to the immediate ecosystem.　　“Ethereum is the best chain for the most credibly neutral and truthful oracle system and prediction markets,” Trueo co-founder known as “Lumberg” said on X.Source: Vitalik Buterin　　“As a new app and experiment, an L2 like Base was the right choice for many reasons. At the time, Mainnet gas costs were still elevated and some features of our app were experimental,” Trueo said on X.　　“The final form of Trueo is to be a platform that is widely adopted, broadly integrated, fully permissionless, mostly immutable, and highly credible. Ethereum is the best fit for this combination of properties.”　　Trueo is ranked as the 14th-largest onchain prediction market with a total

WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking #33 Pionex: The Bots Can Help You Make Money, But They Can’t Help You Unlock a 380,000 USDT Wallet

Introduction: An Exchange Where “The Bots Are Great, But Withdrawals Are a Nightmare”　　In the first 32 installments, we dug into a wide range of exchanges, from HashKey to Ourbit. For the 33rd edition, were looking at one with perhaps the biggest split personality of them all — Pionex.　　On the “product innovation” side, Pionex certainly has an impressive résumé: “incubated by BitUniverse in 2019,” backed by Gaorong Capital, Shunwei Capital, and ZhenFund, 16 free built-in trading bots, more than $60 billion in monthly trading volume, over 5 million users worldwide, a CoinGecko Trust Score of 8/10, monthly Proof of Reserves, a BTC reserve ratio of 142%, and U.S. FinCEN MSB registration.　　Sounds like one of the stars of the automated trading sector, right？　　But on the other side of the story, FX110 users have complained that “380,000 USDT has been frozen for a year and a half, while the platform requires a certificate from the Bangladeshi police — even though crypto trading is illegal locally, making it practically impossible for the police to cooperate.”　　Pionex also has a 2.5/5 rating on Trustpilot, classified as “Poor,” with one user claiming that a $1,002 deposit was “indefinitely withheld as compensation for damages.” BrokerDefense has described it

Ethereum just had the best Q3 since 2016 - 'ETH is ready to explode!'

Ethereum [ETH] has finally broken the long-standing resistance level at $2500 and was trading at $2,716.86 at press time after a hike of 5.7% in the past 24 hours.　　Going back to the levels last seen in the month of February 2026, ETH marked an unusually strong Q3 performance.　　According to CoinGlass quarterly returns chart, Ethereum is up 67.57% in Q3 2026 with nine days still left for the September to end, making this the strongest third quarter since 2016.　　Source: CoinGlass　　This followed ETH suffering two consecutive negative quarters in the first half of 2026, losing roughly 29% in Q1 and another 25% in Q2.　　ETHs staking and exchange reserve sparks concern　　However, this was in direct contrast to Ethereums validator exit queue, which reached 132,832 ETH – the highest level in three months. In other words, more validators are waiting to withdraw their staked ETH, signaling increased potential selling pressure.　　Source: Validator Queue　　But, according to Alphractal, Bitcoin exchange reserves are rising, while Ethereum exchange reserves are declining. This means that less ETH is readily available to sell, which can signal reduced immediate selling pressure.　　Remarking on the same, Joao Wedson, Alphractals Founder and CEO, said,　　Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently showing opposite behavior in their exchange reserves.　　Source:

British Pound consolidates vs USD as Fed-BoE split keeps bias bearish

The GBP/USD pair consolidates above mid-1.3300s during the Asian session on Tuesday and remains within striking distance of its lowest level since July 30, touched last week. Moreover, the fundamental backdrop seems tilted in favor of bearish traders and suggests that the path of least resistance for spot prices is to the downside.　　The US Dollar (USD) retains its bullish bias near the highest level since late July amid the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) and escalating Middle East tensions. In fact, the US central bank signaled at least one more hike this year after raising interest rates for the first time in over three years. This marks a significant divergence in comparison to the Bank of England‘s (BoE) cautious on-hold decision and gradual easing bias, which contributes to the British Pound’s (GBP) relative underperformance and acts as a tailwind for the GBP/USD pair.　　On the geopolitical front, Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned on Monday that any new military attack will trigger a response fought across a different geographical area and with different weapons. This further underpins the safe-haven Greenback and validates the near-term negative outlook for the GBP/USD pair. However, the recent pullback in oil prices eased inflationary concerns, leading
