Core Lightnin2026-10-03 18:29:49Core Lightning says attackers are targeting nodes on version 26.06.7 and earlierCore Lightning said attackers are going after nodes still running version 26.06.7 and older releases, according to monitoring cited by Bitcoin News. The project said patch 26.06.8, released on Sept. 22, fixes a channel-closing issue that could put funds at risk, along with bugs that can trigger crashes and memory exhaustion. Core Lightning has not disclosed the name of the vulnerability being used in the attacks, and it has not reported any stolen funds. Operators that have not yet upgraded remain the group currently being targeted.40
Bitcoin2026-10-02 19:15:58Cornell index finds higher Bitcoin ownership where banking access is weak and currencies are unstableCornell University’s new Bitcoin Adoption Index says the highest shares of people who have ever owned bitcoin were found in El Salvador, Venezuela, and Nigeria, based on a survey of 25,880 respondents across 25 countries. The report argues that the leaders are not wealthy financial hubs, but places where national currencies have been unstable and access to dollars or dependable banking is difficult. In those settings, bitcoin is described less as a speculative asset and more as a practical workaround. Cornell also found that understanding of Bitcoin’s core mechanics remains limited: 58% of respondents did not know the supply is capped at 21 million coins. The study was fielded by Morning Consult between Dec. 16, 2024 and March 10, 2025, in partnership with several Cornell-affiliated and nonprofit groups.40
crypto jobs2026-10-03 16:06:28CryptoJobsList says crypto job postings rose to 1,241 in September while applications kept fallingCrypto hiring picked up sharply in September, according to data cited by ChainCatcher from crypto recruiting platform CryptoJobsList. The number of job openings posted by cryptocurrency companies climbed to 1,241 in September, up from 382 in July and 886 in August. The September figure also exceeded January’s 573 openings, which had previously been the busiest month of the year. The number of companies posting jobs also increased, reaching 125 in September, compared with 107 in July and 77 in August. CryptoJobsList said the rebound fits a seasonal pattern in which business activity returns after the summer slowdown in the Northern Hemisphere. At the same time, the platform said seasonality does not fully explain the move, noting that openings had already doubled from July to August and that no similar August-to-September surge appeared in the same period of 2025. Applications moved in the opposite direction. They fell from 25,700 in July to 24,631 in August, then dropped to below 20,000 in September. CryptoJobsList interpreted the gap between rising job postings and falling applications as a sign that competition for specialized talent is tightening.70
Bitcoin2026-10-03 16:29:06Dormant Bitcoin wallets moved 5,419 BTC in September, worth about $457 millionDormant Bitcoin addresses transferred 5,419.45 BTC in September, with the total value estimated at about $457 million across 94 transactions, according to Bitcoin.com News cited by Odaily.

Among the wallets involved, addresses created in 2016 moved 1,556.53 BTC through 13 transactions, while wallets dating back to 2013 transferred about 888.91 BTC across 26 transactions. The report also said roughly 57 transfers involved bitcoin that had remained dormant for 12 to 16 years. September 6 marked the busiest day of the month for these movements, with 1,620.39 BTC transferred.40
crypto jobs2026-10-03 16:00:56Crypto job listings jump to 1,241 in September while applications drop below 20,000Crypto hiring picked up sharply in September 2026, according to data from crypto recruitment platform CryptoJobsList, even as the number of applications moved the other way. Job postings rose to 1,241 in September from 886 in August and 382 in July, more than tripling over two months and surpassing January’s 573, which had been the busiest month of the year until August. The number of companies hiring also climbed to 125 in September, compared with 107 in July and 77 in August. At the same time, applications fell from 25,700 in July to 24,631 in August and then to just under 20,000 in September. CryptoJobsList said the split may point to tighter competition for specialist talent, though the data on its own does not explain why application volume fell as openings increased. Over the past three months, finance was the largest hiring category, followed by engineering and trading. Stablecoins, AI, security and compliance also ranked in the top 10, while Bitcoin was the most commonly requested blockchain familiarity, ahead of Ethereum and Solana.70
US Treasuries2026-10-03 14:58:3030-Year Treasury Yield Hits Highest Level Since 2002, Leaving Bitcoin Caught Between Opposing ForcesBlockBeats reported on Oct. 3 that the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury has climbed to its highest level since 2002, driven by record fiscal deficits and persistent inflation. The report said U.S. CPI has now remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target for 60 straight months, the longest such stretch since the 1980s. It also pointed to a sharp concentration of wealth in the United States: the richest 1% of households hold about $60.3 trillion in net assets, or 14.3 times the level held by the bottom 50% of households. Since 2020, the dollar’s purchasing power has fallen 23%. For Bitcoin, the setup sends two signals at once. On one side, a higher long-end Treasury yield raises the discount rate and can weigh directly on valuations for non-yielding assets such as BTC. On the other, sticky inflation and a weaker dollar purchasing profile can strengthen the case for Bitcoin as a hard asset and an inflation hedge. The near-term question, according to the analysis cited by BlockBeats, is which force matters more: support from inflation and dollar weakness, or pressure on risk assets from rising long-dated Treasury yields.40
Coinbase2026-10-03 14:55:28Coinbase says it is working with advisers to six systemically important banks on Bitcoin exposureCoinbase is working with advisers to six global systemically important banks to increase exposure to Bitcoin, according to a report cited by Bitcoin Magazine. The comment came from Coinbase’s chief business officer, who said the company sees the effort as a way to expand the market and give individuals more ways to access Bitcoin. The report did not name the banks involved. The item also noted that global systemically important banks are designated by the Financial Stability Board. Those institutions are large banks considered important to the global financial system. The statement points to Coinbase’s outreach around Bitcoin-related access, while the available source material provides no additional detail on the structure, timeline, or scope of the work with the advisers.40
