Ethereum's upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade had a flaw that could route staking deposits to builders. Devs first waved off the fix, then flipped after testing slipped and bought them time to look again.
Delays get a bad rap in crypto. This one probably saved someone a very expensive mistake.
StoneX raised its Strive price target to $43 from $32 and kept a Buy rating. That is a 34% bump on a bitcoin treasury name.
The call lands after a new stock offering that adds capital for Strive's bitcoin balance sheet strategy. More equity raised, more room to hold BTC through a listed vehicle.

JPMorgan says recent moves by U.S. regulators have softened the setback. That relief may be temporary. Businesses still need durable rules before they commit capital, build teams, and choose where to operate.

The PHP Foundation admitted a structural failure delayed a critical security fix. Operators were dealing with a bug that could let attackers take control of vulnerable servers. Government websites and other online services were disrupted as that concern spread.

Deutsche Bank is lining up crypto custody for Asia in 2027, with a German rollout already close. First assets on the menu: bitcoin, ether, and a short list of dollar and euro stablecoins, including USDC.

Asia next year is the expansion story. Germany is the near-term proof point that the rails are almost live.
