Cardano's Major Milestones Ahead: What to Expect in the Coming Months
Cardano is set to achieve significant milestones with the initial rollout of the Dijkstra era in two phases, introducing linear Leios with nested transactions and Peras. The goal is to deliver phase one (nested transactions and linear Leios) to mainnet by the end of 2026, with phase two (Peras) activated in a hard fork within the era in Q2 2027. Intersect reports four major Haskell node releases in the coming months: 11.1.1 expected on September 7, 11.2 including Dijkstra features for testing, 11.3 as a hard fork candidate, and 12.0 as the final hard fork version. Additionally, the DijkstraNet testnet will be launched, and a node diversity workshop is planned.

167 Billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) Traded in 24 Hours: Rally May Be Losing Steam
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is approaching a key resistance level after a strong rebound from August lows, but exchange activity suggests the rally may face more selling pressure. Over the past 24 hours, total exchange inflows of SHIB reached approximately 168.18 billion tokens, with the top ten deposits accounting for 3.53 billion. Despite increased inflows, outflows were larger, resulting in a net flow of -26.64 billion and a slight 0.03% decrease in exchange reserves. Currently trading around $0.00000552, SHIB has reclaimed its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, but faces resistance near the 200-day MA at $0.00000568. A breakout above this level could lead to further gains toward the $0.0000059-$0.0000062 range; otherwise, a pullback to $0.00000515 and $0.00000503 is possible.

Irish Gangs Rent Private Vaults to Hide Crypto Keys
Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) reports that organized crime gangs are renting private safety deposit boxes to store private keys and seed phrases for cryptocurrency wallets, alongside cash, watches, and passports. The bureau has flagged this to the government's anti-money laundering steering committee, which is preparing for the implementation of new EU anti-money laundering rules. Despite criminals' belief in cryptocurrency's anonymity, the CAB chief notes its use is still 'quite basic,' with cash remaining dominant. Additionally, the bureau is handling its largest-ever cryptocurrency seizure, involving 6,000 bitcoins worth approximately €360 million.

FCA Explores Easing UK Ban on Prediction Markets
According to The Times, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has held discussions with trading platforms about relaxing the ban on retail financial prediction markets, but as of September 7, 2026, no policy changes have been announced. The FCA has permanently prohibited the sale of binary options to retail consumers since April 2019, viewing them as gambling-like and high-risk. Industry representatives argue that UK consumers already participate through overseas platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, but the FCA has not yet issued a public consultation or rule proposal. Sports and political prediction contracts are regulated by the Gambling Commission, while financial prediction markets fall under the FCA's jurisdiction.

Coldcard Hacker Moves $7.7M, Nearly Half of Third-Wave Bitcoin Haul
Galaxy Research reports that in the third wave of attacks on Coldcard hardware wallets, the attacker has moved 97.09 BTC (about $7.7 million), accounting for 45% of the funds stolen in this wave. The attacker created 293 2-of-2 multisig addresses and drained them in descending order of size. Some funds were converted to Ethereum via THORChain, while the rest went through CoinJoin mixing services to obscure the transaction trail. The incident stems from a 2021 firmware vulnerability that reduced key entropy, allowing the attacker to reconstruct private keys offline. Coinkite has released a firmware update, but users need to generate new seeds and transfer assets.

Citi and DBS Test Instant US-Singapore Payments
Citi and DBS completed a tokenized dollar payment from Singapore to New York on September 5, settling in minutes over a weekend via Swift's digital ledger. The transaction demonstrated how banks can use blockchain to coordinate tokenized deposits, while final settlement still relies on traditional financial infrastructure. Swift's ledger acts as a coordination layer, recording and verifying payment obligations, with settlement occurring through existing banking systems. This trial is part of a pilot program announced by Swift in July 2026, involving 17 banks. Citi also plans to join a US tokenized deposit network expected to launch in 2027.
