The Swedish central bank (Riksbank) is pushing lawmakers to re-examine the necessity of issuing an e-krona, arguing that the Swedish krona’s use in payment systems may face long-term pressure amid the growth of foreign stablecoins and the digital euro. Per Jansson, deputy governor of the Riksbank, stated that if cash becomes further digitized and the krona lacks a convenient digital form, the domestic currency may struggle to compete with cross-border digital payment tools. While the central bank has not yet decided whether to officially issue an e-krona, it hopes legislative preparations will start as soon as possible, as the relevant institutional and technical work is expected to take at least five years. Sweden’s cash usage rate has fallen to a low level: central bank data shows only around 5% of respondents used cash for their most recent shopping trip. The Riksbank also believes the e-krona can serve as a backup payment tool during power or communication outages and may support offline payments. If the digital euro secures EU legislative approval, it could launch as early as 2029, and Sweden may draw on its infrastructure in the future.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that since September 22, BTC has seen continuous net outflows from trading platforms, though the outflow rate has slowed significantly. Currently, the 30-day moving average of BTC net outflows from exchanges stands at around 1,500 BTC per day, half of the 3,000 BTC daily average recorded a week ago. Adler Jr. pointed out that the recent pullback in net outflows is mainly because the large-scale outflow on September 22 has gradually fallen out of the 30-day statistical window, rather than a large amount of BTC flowing back into trading platforms. As long as this indicator remains below zero, the supply of BTC available for immediate sale on exchanges continues to decline. Meanwhile, the 30-day average position direction indicator in the BTC futures market has risen from -0.5 a week ago to 0.3, indicating that long and short sides are generally balanced. This indicator hit 7.6 at the end of August, then mostly stayed slightly below zero since the end of September; daily readings over the past week have fluctuated between -20.5 and 29, showing active market trading but no sustained clear direction. If trading platforms continue to see net outflows, and the futures position direction indicator holds steady above zero, it will provide support for market demand from both spot and futures sides. Conversely, if BTC shifts to net inflows into trading platforms, and the futures indicator falls back below zero, it could mean an increase in sellable supply and stronger bearish momentum.

Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic has partnered with formal verification firm Theorem to leverage Claude for auditing software vulnerabilities using mathematical methods. Traditional testing typically relies on repeatedly feeding random data to check if a program crashes, but no matter how many tests are run, it can never guarantee full coverage of all potential issues. This time, Claude directly generates mathematical proofs for programs, aiming to fundamentally eliminate specific types of errors. Within weeks, Claude verified 239 test entry points across 123 open-source libraries, generating around 180 million lines of proof code, which was then checked by the Rocq mathematical proof tool. The results showed that under the specified runtime environment, these programs would not trigger the crashes targeted by the tests when handling any input smaller than 64 MB. During the proof process, Claude also discovered and fixed hundreds of bugs. For example, a decompression program would only suffer a memory out-of-bounds write when processing roughly 20 MB of data with an extremely specific structure. Another image decoding vulnerability required 64 MB of input and over 2 GB of memory to trigger—scenarios extremely hard to catch with standard random testing. This type of mathematical verification was historically extremely time-consuming. For instance, the seL4 operating system kernel required around 2 years of full-time human effort for development, but its mathematical verification took roughly 20 years—10 times the development workload.

According to official announcements, the dYdX Treasury SubDAO has increased its delegated staking to 100.76 million DYDX tokens, including repurchased tokens in delegation for the first time. The SubDAO released the results of its seventh periodic staking plan review, noting that 25 transactions were approved in this round to adjust the delegation configuration of 25,873,915 DYDX. For the first time, 10,719,308 DYDX purchased via the repurchase program were added to the delegation, lifting the Treasury SubDAO’s total delegated staking from 90,041,355 DYDX to 100,760,663 DYDX. The adjustment also covers reallocation of existing delegations. Earlier, as the active validator set shrank from 31 to 21 on September 17, around 8.34 million DYDX were delegated to validators outside the active set, rendering them ineligible for rewards. The Treasury SubDAO consequently reallocated the relevant staked assets and raised its focus on validators’ governance participation: validators that have not participated in or abstained from governance votes recently will receive less new delegation.
