Taiwan plans Travel Rule for domestic crypto transfers from October

Taiwans financial regulator plans to require crypto platforms to transmit customer information on all domestic platform-to-platform transfers starting in October.　　On Tuesday, the Financial Supervisory Commission said its proposed amendments would apply the Financial Action Task Forces (FATF) Travel Rule regardless of value.　　Transfers exceeding 30,000 New Taiwan dollars (about $930) would trigger additional data requirements, including an individual sender‘s date of birth and residential address, or a corporate sender’s official identification number and registered address. Receiving VASPs would also be required to compare beneficiary information supplied by the originating platform with their own records.　　The FSC plans to extend the framework to transfers between domestic and overseas VASPs by the end of 2027.　　Taiwan introduced Travel Rule provisions in its AML regulations in 2021 but did not implement them, citing differences among countries regulatory requirements, incompatible information-transmission standards and difficulties connecting cross-border systems. The FSC said the proposed amendments would soon enter a 30-day public consultation.　　The proposal comes as Travel Rule adoption advances globally but remains uneven. In July, the FATF said 83% of surveyed jurisdictions had enacted Travel Rule legislation, up from 73% in 2025, while warning that significant implementation and enforcement gaps remained.

Live updates: An AI credit bubble could set up bitcoins path to $1 million

The whole macro case for BTC rests on the 10-year real yield, Bitfinex says　　Crypto exchange Bitfinex has said that bitcoins (BTC) bullish case rests on the real or inflation-adjusted yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note.　　“The 10-year real yield has not stayed above 2.5% since before Bitcoin existed, so there is no price history above that line. It is now at 2.41%, nine basis points below,” the exchange said on X.　　“Hold above 2.5%, and the macro tailwind is gone,” it added.　　Bond yields have risen sharply since the onset of the Iran war in late February, weakening the case for risk-taking in financial markets. Yet, stocks have continued to hit new record highs, leaving bitcoin and gold far behind.

A 12-Year Dormant Bitcoin “Ancient Whale” Makes an Emergency Move: Risk Avoidance or Being Hunted?

On August 4, 2026, late at night Beijing time, a strange ripple suddenly appeared beneath the surface of the crypto market.　　A Bitcoin address that had remained completely dormant since 2013 — 18TExP — suddenly became active. 500 BTC (worth approximately $31.3 million) were transferred the moment the transaction was confirmed on-chain. This wallet had been asleep for a staggering 12 years and 8 months, making it even older than the birth of Ethereum.　　500 BTC Transferred from the 18TExP Address (Source: CoinDesk)　　Just as people began speculating whether this was the reappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto himself, another far more chilling backdrop emerged: Coldcard, known as the “fortress” of Bitcoin hardware wallets, had just been exposed with a critical security vulnerability, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of BTC being stolen.　　The discovery process of this vulnerability further demonstrated both the power and the threat of AI. After the Coldcard team released a security advisory in late July, someone submitted the source code to Claude Code, an AI coding model, for review. The AI identified the exact line of code responsible for the randomness failure in just eight minutes.　　The revival of an ancient Bitcoin whale and the fatal Coldcard wallet vulnerability happened

Why bitcoin‘s ’500-day rule faces its biggest test yet

“I dont think the 500-day rule will be as relevant in the current cycle. BTC is now primarily institutionally driven. ETF inflows have dwarfed the halving supply shock.”　　Following the April 2024 halving, bitcoin miners produced about 450 BTC per day, worth about $35 million to $40 million, Fernandes said. By comparison, the daily spot bitcoin ETF flows in 2024 and 2025 ranged from about $100 million to $1 billion, he added.　　The contrast suggests ETF flows now outweigh the new supply created by miners, blunting the halvings direct impact. Additionally, those flows can also reverse, adding selling pressure on the price of bitcoin, as seen recently, making these ETF moves a dominant force in price moves.　　Aryan Sheikhalian, investor and head of research at CMT Digital, agreed with Greenspan and Fernandes, saying the mechanism and fundamentals that have historically driven the bitcoin halving cycle are fading.　　“New supply from miners is de minimis next to spot bitcoin ETFs and corporate U.S. Treasury flows, and those flows set both the top and this years unwind,” Sheikhalian said.　　There are, however, still some believers in this four-year cycle of halving, and its historical impact and miner economics remain fundamental mechanics of the bitcoin market.

Forgd brings its crypto market-maker leaderboard to DefiLlama

Crypto analytics platform DefiLlama has integrated Forgds market-maker leaderboard, giving users access to data on spreads, market depth, trading volume and uptime.　　In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, Forgd said that the dashboard ranks crypto market makers using standardized measures of pricing, depth, reliability and execution quality. The data comes from more than 500 token projects and 35 market-making firms that use Forgds tools to monitor liquidity across active engagements, according to the company.　　The integration allows DefiLlama users to compare market makers across exchanges and assess the liquidity supporting individual tokens. Forgd first launched the leaderboard in May as a tool for token projects selecting and monitoring liquidity providers.　　Ryan Celaj, DefiLlamas head of research, said the integration adds another signal for evaluating execution quality and market resilience alongside metrics such as volume and liquidity.　　However, the ratings do not solely reflect observed trading performance. “A lower grade on the index is not necessarily a judgment of a firms trading,” Forgd CEO Shane Molidor told Cointelegraph.　　“It reflects that they havent yet fully opted into performance verification.” This means that the leaderboard ratings may also reflect the amount of data a market maker provides to Forgd.　　Forgd and DefiLlama did not disclose financial terms for

"You stole, please return some." Coldcard hacker's wallet becomes a graffiti wall of pleas and hustles

SummaryA wallet tied to the Coldcard hacker has received several deposits since July 30, with some carrying written messages attached via Bitcoins OP_RETURN function.Messages range from genuine-sounding pleas for the money back to opportunistic pitches, including one offering to launder the stolen funds for a 10% cut.　　“You stole, please return some.”　　Thats one of several messages now sitting permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain, addressed to the wallet tied to the Coldcard hacker, which currently holds funds worth roughly $36 million. Each message arrives with a real, if tiny, payment attached.　　The wallet in question is “bc1qq85v2c926eg6pgxhwp6q7lf6cnsz80qs3fcu9r.” It has been identified by blockchain researchers, including those at Galaxy Research, as one of the attacker-controlled addresses tied to the theft.　　The address has taken in several deposits since the Coldcard theft began on July 30, with many of those transactions carrying written messages. Most are pleas to return the stolen money; others are performative, and at least one offers services to launder the stolen BTC.　　This is as much a story about how the Bitcoin blockchain functions as it is about hack victims paying to convey their sentiments to the person who took their money.
