Aave V4 vote would grant unused emergency powers

Aave DAO voters are deciding whether to delegate limited V4 risk controls on Ethereum and Avalanche to Risk Stewards, tools that let approved operators make constrained changes without taking every update through a full governance vote. The proposal would also assign no-delay emergency roles that the current steward software cannot use.  The Snapshot vote opened Sept. 3 at 3:46 p.m. UTC and is scheduled to close today, Sept. 6, at the same time. Approval would not activate the system by itself. Aave Labs said the corresponding payloads would still need to be executed through the V4 Security Council.  The code is also not being presented as fully audited. In its governance proposal, Aave Labs said the Risk Steward contracts were undergoing a Certora audit and that the engagement was nearing finalization.

The $63 billion revolving door carrying the entire US Bitcoin ETF market

Bitcoin Price Faces $82K Wall as Weekend Momentum Fizzles

At 9:30 a.m., bitcoin‘s price was clocking roughly $79,750 to $80,100 per unit on Sept. 6, stuck in a tight weekend range after its early-September run above $82,000 lost steam. There’s a great deal happening under the surface, though: BTCs price remains above every listed major daily simple moving average (SMA) and exponential moving average (EMA), while weaker momentum readings and thin weekend trading volume show that another significant breakout has yet to be confirmed.  Key TakeawaysBitcoins price held between $79,750 and $80,100 on Sunday morning as its daily uptrend remained intact.Bitstamps BTC/USD tape stayed between $79,586 and $80,147 as weekend volume thinned.Bitcoin faces $80,335-$82,239 resistance before bulls can confirm another breakout.

Satoshi-era Bitcoin wakes after 16 years of dormancy as 600 BTC moves

Bitcoin mined in 2010 moved from long-dormant addresses after more than 16 years, reigniting speculation over a possible link to Satoshi Nakamoto.  Twelve addresses holding a combined 600 Bitcoin (BTC), worth about $48 million, moved the coins on Saturday after more than 16 years of dormancy, according to onchain data reviewed by Cointelegraph.  Whale Alert, a blockchain transaction tracking platform, said the 600 BTC came from rewards mined across 12 Bitcoin blocks and that its research found no connection to Nakamoto.  “None of the blocks can be connected to Satoshi based on our research,” a spokesperson for Whale Alert told Cointelegraph, tempering speculation around the origins of coins mined while Bitcoins pseudonymous creator was still active.  Whale Alert traces all 12 mining block rewards  Whale Alert traced all 12 rewards to Bitcoin blocks mined in March 2010, when each block paid a 50 BTC block subsidy. The subsidy has since been cut in half four times, most recently in April 2024, when it fell from 6.25 BTC to the current 3.125 BTC per block.  The findings expand on Whale Alerts earlier analysis of seven of the rewards. It said in an X post on Sunday that those seven originated from blocks it had determined were not

$14.5 Billion Injection: Will U.S. Treasury Trigger 'Round 2' for Bitcoin and XRP?

The U.S. Treasury Department will enter the active phase of its government debt buyback program on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026. The weekly limit on operations will amount to $14.5 billion, while the maximum volume of Treasury sessions could reach $16.5 billion.

While Bessent stabilizes yields, Bitcoin at $80,000 awaits a spark from primary dealers  As officials describe the multibillion-dollar injections as “routine,” the cryptocurrency market is approaching Sept. 9 in a state of extreme technical tension.
