Thailand’s Crypto ETF Rules and Bitcoin Core 32.0: Two Things That Are Close, but Not Here Yet
Thailand's SEC has issued the rules for bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds, effective 16 October 2026, though no Thai crypto ETF has launched. Separately, Bitcoin Core 32.0 is still at release candidate 3, with its final tag aimed for 10 October and a privacy fix included. What changes, and what doesn't.
Cash App’s Bitcoin Figures, a Tokenised-Bitcoin Listing and a Pause in Miner Selling
Three bitcoin business items from 8 October 2026: Block's preliminary, unaudited Q3 Cash App bitcoin figures, an EDX Markets deal to list VerifiedX's tokenised bitcoin (vBTC), and CryptoQuant's reading that miners have made no "extreme" outflows since 21 August. What each says, and what it doesn't.

Quantum and wallet keys: Europol says the risk is exposed keys, and Ethereum researchers urge a careful move
Europol’s cybercrime centre says the quantum threat to crypto sits with exposed wallet keys, not blockchains, and urges a phased upgrade now. Separately, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake calls for “bunker mode” over AI-driven maths, with Vitalik Buterin backing caution. What is analysis, what is opinion, and what has not been broken.
