A PANews daily roundup put several crypto and tech developments in focus, led by strong U.S. spot ETF flows and a new market data feature on X. According to SoSoValue, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $999 million in net inflows on Sept. 21 Eastern Time, extending the streak to three straight days. BlackRock’s IBIT led with $381 million, while ARKB from Ark Invest and 21Shares added $289 million. Spot Ether ETFs also posted $270 million in net inflows the same day, with BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH leading the list. On the product side, X rolled out live quote displays for stocks and cryptocurrencies. The feature includes a trading button that routes users to Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Moomoo and Interactive Brokers. The roundup also covered a Bloomberg report that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether Binance may have violated Iran sanctions, a governance incentive proposal vote launched by World Liberty Financial, xAI’s release of Grok 4.7, and fresh revenue figures from the Bittensor ecosystem. In market data and on-chain activity, PANews highlighted a 14-year-dormant wallet moving 600 BTC, a brief USDe depeg on Binance, and new ETH accumulation by BitMine and several whale addresses.

RootData’s August review of OKX Boost showed the platform launched nine campaigns during the month, drawing about 74,000 cumulative participations and distributing a total prize pool of $2.02 million, up slightly from $1.908 million in July. The report highlighted the debut of X Liquidity, a new format focused on DeFi staking and liquidity incentives on X Layer. Its first round offered $300,000, and the first two rounds together distributed more than $500,000. Over the same period, DefiLlama data cited in the report showed X Layer’s total value locked rising from $100 million in July to $200 million. RootData also pointed to continued growth in X Layer RWA activity, with OKX Wallet saying on Aug. 20 that daily active trading addresses for X Layer RWA had reached a record high. By sector, AI remained the dominant theme in August, accounting for 60% of project activities, while KiiChain, GRVT and DappOS stood out in RootData’s transparency rankings.

Kazakhstan’s regulated cryptocurrency market recorded $10.58 billion in trading volume in 2025, up sharply from $320 million in 2023, according to The Astana Times, as cited by ChainCatcher. The report also said the number of users in the country’s regulated market rose from 53,000 to 215,000 over the same period. The Astana Times added that Kazakhstan ranked among the global top 10 by application count for the international Solana hackathon. More than 8,000 people completed training through the Solana ecosystem, and over 2,000 received certificates. On the startup side, 57 Web3 companies in the country have received grants totaling about $262,000. Kazakhstan is also planning to complete tokenization of real estate and logistics projects worth up to $60 million by the end of 2026, as it tests whether digital assets can serve as a new financing channel for the economy.

SlowMist said attackers are posing as Web3 companies and using remote job interviews as bait to get candidates to deploy and run a local project. The project is presented as RoyalCity, a real estate and crypto investment app, but its tailwind.config.js file contains obfuscated malicious code. Once the project is run or built, the payload can steal browser credentials, wallet extension data, exfiltrate local files, monitor clipboard content, and enable remote control of the victim’s machine. SlowMist also said errorHandler.js contains a separate server-side backdoor that can retrieve and execute remote code. According to the security team, the case closely resembles a previously analyzed recruitment-themed GitHub poisoning attack: both used interview lures, executed through Tailwind, and carried highly similar data theft and remote access payloads. The disclosure was published by @SlowMist_Team and carried by Techub News.

Security researchers have warned iPhone users about a potential zero-day flaw in Apple’s Safari browser that could expose sensitive data, including cryptocurrency private keys, recovery phrases, and information stored in Apple Keychain. According to the report cited by Techub News, the suspected exploit chain may involve WebKit memory corruption, a sandbox escape, and kernel-level access. The warning applies to iOS versions 13 through 26.5, though the exact scope of affected devices and users has not been fully confirmed. The report was attributed to CoinPedia. At this stage, the available information points to a possible risk rather than a fully detailed disclosure, with no final confirmation yet on the full impact range.

Feixiaohao said it is working with MOS/SSD on the Feixiaohao × GWDC 2026 Innovation Forum, with MOS/SSD joining the event as a co-organizer. The forum is scheduled for Sept. 29, 2026, at AT CENTER in Seoul, South Korea, and will focus on stock tokenization, Web3 and AI. MOS/SSD, also referred to as Sea Star, said MOS, or Sea Star Community, is a Web3-focused decentralized autonomous organization founded on Feb. 19, 2022. The community describes its vision as building a trusted metaverse DAO and says it is advancing blockchain gaming and metaverse development together with SPF META. According to the event details cited in the newsflash, the GWDC Korea stop is expected to draw 5,000 attendees on site. Justin Sun, Animoca Brands, Bithumb and Microsoft were listed among the guests and organizations expected to appear at the same venue. ChainCatcher added that Sea Star’s participation would place DAO, blockchain gaming and metaverse community ecosystems in a more public setting for exchange.

Collector Crypt’s token CARDS has lagged even as Bitcoin rebounded, and 0xResearch author Kunal Doshi argues the move says more about capital rotation than fading demand for on-chain collectibles. In his analysis, Bitcoin rose nearly 30% from its $63,000 low while CARDS fell 8%, as traders shifted attention and liquidity toward stock token pairs on Robinhood Chain and Solana. He points to a weekly net revenue peak of $3 million in the week ending Aug. 16, just before stock token volumes accelerated, followed by a period of weaker metrics for Collector Crypt. Doshi says those trends have started to reverse. After three straight weeks of decline, net revenue has rebounded, and the team has added gacha machines tied to rising interest in Riftbound and Dragon Ball card packs, with those categories contributing 8% to 16% of total revenue in recent weeks. He also argues the market is overlooking Ripmart, a product he believes could resemble a consumer live-shopping app similar to Whatnot. While official details remain limited, he says such a model could let users buy sealed packs from Collector Crypt inventory, watch live openings, and sell eligible hits back into the platform. In his view, that could push Collector Crypt deeper into the Web2 consumer market and reduce its dependence on crypto liquidity alone.

Solana processed 23.2 million transactions for the x402 payment protocol over the past four weeks, according to official data cited by Techub News. That accounted for 76% of all x402 network transactions during the period. The network with the second-highest volume handled 3.39 million transactions over the same stretch. x402 is a protocol designed to simplify Web3 payments and has previously been integrated with networks including Cardano. The figures point to strong usage of Solana in high-frequency payment scenarios within the x402 ecosystem. The data was attributed to Solana’s official disclosure, as referenced by Techub News.
