Extended to move settlement from Starknet to Arc in the week of Oct. 19

Decentralized perpetuals platform Extended said it will migrate its settlement network from Starknet to the Layer 1 blockchain Arc in the week of Oct. 19. The company said trading will remain available during the transition, though deposits and withdrawals may be paused for about two hours. After the move, the platform will use USDC to pay gas fees and plans to broaden its lineup of perpetual contracts tied to equities, commodities, and crypto assets. Extended also warned users holding more than $1 worth of USDT or wBTC to swap or withdraw those assets before 20:00 Beijing time on Oct. 21, because Arc does not support either token. Accounts that fail to do so may face restrictions, and related positions may be forcibly liquidated. The update was carried by Techub News and attributed to Wu Blockchain.

On-chain analyst @TimechainIndex separately flagged the same batch of around 4,695 BTC, saying the bitcoin was split across four transactions. The assets are tied to seizure actions connected to the Bitfinex hack and to FTX/Alameda. Part of the funds was sent to a Coinbase Prime deposit address. The latest transfers came one day after the US government made an additional transfer to Coinbase Prime, the report said. Bitcoin News was cited as the monitoring source in the Odaily brief.

Ledger adds crypto loan feature for cbBTC and wBTC-backed stablecoin borrowing

Hardware wallet maker Ledger has introduced a new Crypto Loan feature that lets eligible users borrow stablecoins directly from within their wallets. Under the rollout, users can post wrapped Bitcoin assets, including Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC) and Wrapped BTC (wBTC), as collateral and borrow either USDC or USDT. The lending function is supported by DeFi protocol Morpho through technology service provider Yield xyz. Ledger also added direct device connectivity to Morpho, removing the need for a browser extension or a separate software wallet when accessing the service. The update expands borrowing options inside the Ledger wallet environment while keeping the process tied to supported wrapped Bitcoin collateral and stablecoin pairs named by the company.
