Capital.com plans UAE spot crypto services after affiliate wins licence

Trading platform and contracts for difference (CFD) broker Capital.com plans to offer spot crypto services to clients in the United Arab Emirates after its affiliate, Capital Vault, secured a virtual-asset license from the countrys Capital Market Authority (CMA).　　According to an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the license allows Capital Vault to deal in virtual assets as an agent or matching principal and provide custody on behalf of clients.　　Once the service goes live, UAE clients will be able to buy and hold actual crypto through the Capital.com app, with Capital Vault providing execution, custody and settlement. This differs from Capital.coms CFDs, which provide price exposure without ownership of the underlying crypto.　　Capital Vault operates as a separate regulated entity, with its governance, custody and risk arrangements separated from Capital.coms other businesses. The affiliate has opened an office in Abu Dhabi and is building a local virtual-asset team.　　The approval follows the CMAs introduction of a virtual-asset regulatory framework in April, which expanded the number of regulated activities from three to eight. The framework also established requirements covering business conduct, alternative trading systems, anti-money laundering controls and prudential standards.　　Related: Bitcoin.com integrates UAE-registered US dollar stablecoin into self-custodial wallet

Coldcard strengthens seed generation with firmware update

Coinkite released a new security upgrade to strengthen seed phrase generation by requiring user-supplied entropy mixed with improved device randomness.　　Coinkite announced firmware 5.6.1 for Coldcard Mk4 and Mk5 devices and 1.5.1Q for the Coldcard Q in a Thursday blog post.　　The release requires newly generated seeds to include user-supplied entropy through at least 65 keypresses with unpredictable timing, 50 rolls of a six-sided die or 128 coin flips. That input is combined with randomness from multiple device sources, including its secure elements and hardware random-number generator (RNG).　　The combined randomness is used to create the wallet‘s seed phrase and is intended to keep its private keys unpredictable even if one of the device’s entropy sources fails.　　Coinkite told users to upgrade immediately, emphasizing that existing seed phrases remain vulnerable even after upgrading and must be replaced with new seeds before migrating funds.　　Confirmed losses from the Coldcard exploit reached 1,778 Bitcoin (BTC), worth about $112 million, according to an Aug. 14 report by Galaxy Research. This makes the Coldcard hack the third-largest cryptocurrency exploit of 2026, according to data aggregated by DefiLlama.　　Coldcard adds transaction and USB safeguards　　The company‘s July 31 firmware update had already fixed the seed-generation failure for newly created wallets. Thursday’s release

In the EU, its entity holds a MiCA Trading Platform Authorization issued in Ireland.　　That puts Webot among one of the few exchangesable to serve users in both the U.S. and EU markets under formal regulatory frameworks — a distinction the company now treats as a core part of its positioning, not a background detail.　　Automation built into the exchange　　Unlike setups that rely on third-party bot platforms connected through API keys, Webot runs its trading bots natively on the exchange.

Tether abandons $120M Uruguay Bitcoin mining project after power dispute

Tethers planned Bitcoin mining expansion in Uruguay has collapsed after an electricity supply dispute with state utility UTE left two facilities without enough power, ending a project estimated to have cost around $120 million.　　SummaryTether invested an estimated $120 million across two Bitcoin mining sites in Uruguays Florida department.A dispute with state utility UTE over electricity allocations left the facilities without enough power to operate consistently.UTE disconnected the mining sites in July 2025 after contract negotiations failed and electricity bills went unpaid.Tether has continued investing in Bitcoin mining elsewhere, including renewable energy projects in Brazil and mining infrastructure.　　Reuters has reported that Tether abandoned two mining sites in Uruguays Florida department after disagreements over electricity allocations disrupted operations and eventually led its local entity, Microfin, to terminate contracts with UTE.　　The project had been presented in 2023 as Tethers first major Bitcoin mining venture in South America, with Uruguay serving as a testing ground before potential expansion into Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. A former contractor told Reuters that Tether spent roughly $60 million on each of the two sites.　　Tether did not disclose an investment figure when it announced the Uruguay operation in May 2023, describing the country as the “perfect platform” because of

Take-Two Shed $2.83 Billion Over GTA 6 Leaks Ahead of Netflix Reveal

Take-Two Interactive shed roughly $2.83 billion in market value in under two days after new GTA 6 footage suggested the leaker Cyberleek is playing a live build of Rockstars unreleased game.　　Shares have since clawed back part of that loss. Meanwhile, malware disguised as the leaked build now circulates on piracy sites.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　What the New GTA 6 Footage Actually Shows　　Cyberleek has posted clips and images across several days. One video shows the character Jason spraying the word LEEK onto a wall with bullets. Therefore, the account appears to control a playable build rather than leftover test material.　　Other clips show a plane flight across Vice City and a cutscene about VPN use. Forbes reported that the build likely dates from 2025. Rockstar and Take-Two have stayed silent, however.　　The group ties the leaks to three demands. It wants a disc release, no paywalled solo DLC, and full offline access. Those terms work as conditions for stopping the drops. One report framed the campaign as an attempt to extort Rockstar over its all-digital plan. Sony met a similar revolt during its PlayStation disc backlash in July.　　That consumer-rights posture carries a commercial edge. Cyberleek stamps its releases with cryptocurrency advertisements and recently ran a paid poll.

Ripple CEO backs AI as revenue set to double in 2026

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said on Aug. 20 that the company is aggressively adopting artificial intelligence as it pursues further revenue and workforce growth.　　Speaking at the SALT Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Garlinghouse described AI as an “enabler and an accelerant” for companies that already have growing businesses and customer demand.　　“AI, if you are in a business that has opportunity to grow and youre serving customers and have compelling solutions, AI just lets you do that better and faster and stronger,” Garlinghouse said during the recorded interview.　　He added that Ripple has approximately 1,500 employees worldwide and 150 open positions. Garlinghouse said the company intends to keep expanding because its business is growing.　　Ripple sees AI as an expansion tool　　Garlinghouse rejected the argument that AI is necessarily responsible for large corporate layoffs. He suggested that some companies may be using the technology to justify workforce reductions that were already needed.　　“When I see companies announce big layoffs and they say, ‘Oh, well, AI X, Y, and Z,’ that to me says, ‘Well, they were bloated before and they’re using this as an excuse,” he said.　　His comments represent an opinion about recent layoffs rather than evidence about individual companies. Businesses have attributed workforce reductions to several

Fidelity names 6 risks to cryptos AI agent thesis

Fidelity Digital Assets identified six risks that could weaken the investment case connecting artificial intelligence agents with public blockchains.　　SummaryFidelity identified six risks that could prevent AI agents from creating value for public blockchains.Closed technology and fintech platforms may offer agents better performance, costs, distribution and compliance certainty.Payments could increase blockchain activity while directing more economic value toward stablecoin issuers and services.AI can accelerate software development while making vulnerabilities cheaper for attackers to discover and exploit.Trading generated forty nine times more Ethereum revenue per dollar than payments across 180 days.　　Senior research analyst Max Wadington published the report on Aug. 19. Fidelity said AI could accelerate blockchain development and create demand for programmable financial infrastructure. However, increased agent activity may not produce lasting value for blockchain networks or their native tokens.　　The six risks cover limited value from increased software production, weaker technical differentiation, competition from closed systems, low value capture from payments, growing security threats and regulatory constraints.　　You might also like:　　Fidelity plans Ethereum staking for $898M FETH fund　　Fidelity presented them as possible outcomes rather than forecasts.
