$ONT Ontology, Injective $INJ Hit by Block Halts; Suspected Injective Exploit Nets $4.9 Million
Layer-1 networks Ontology and Injective both suffered block-production halts around Aug. 31 amid security concerns. Ontology, an identity-focused public blockchain, initially paused its mainnet as a precaution and said on Sept. 1 that it had identified malicious activity targeting the network, while confirming user assets were not compromised. Injective, a finance-focused Layer 1 incubated by Binance, stopped producing blocks for about 3 hours and 42 minutes before resuming without a rollback; QuickNode recorded a network-wide stall followed by an emergency patch.
Singapore Proposes Stablecoin License With 100% Reserves, No Holder Interest
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country’s central bank and financial regulator, has proposed amendments to the Payment Services Act creating a dedicated stablecoin issuance license, with only licensed issuers allowed to label their tokens “MAS-regulated stablecoins.” Issuers would be required to maintain at least 100% reserve backing, meet redemption deadlines and refrain from paying interest or other benefits linked to stablecoin holdings.
🔥 September Could Be More Important for Crypto Than Any Chart Pattern
Crypto traders are watching support, resistance, breakouts and moving averages.
But this month, the biggest catalyst may come from the Federal Reserve.
Here are the key dates:
📅 Sept 4: U.S. Employment Report 📅 Sept 11: U.S. CPI Inflation Data 📅 Sept 16: Fed Interest-Rate Decision
Why does this matter for Bitcoin?
Higher inflation could increase expectations for tighter monetary policy, potentially pushing bond yields and the dollar higher while reducing risk appetite.
Softer inflation could have the opposite effect and support risk assets.
Meanwhile, $BTC is trading near the psychologically important $80,000 level.
A bullish chart setup can look perfect—but macroeconomic data can change the entire market environment in minutes.
And altcoins could experience even bigger moves because they generally carry higher risk.
This September, don’t watch only the Bitcoin chart. Watch the Fed.
What do you think happens after the September 16 decision?
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $217 million in net inflows on Aug. 31, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with about $206 million, while spot Ether ETFs drew $87.68 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for roughly $59.94 million. BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, overseeing about $15.3 trillion in assets.
