BNB Network Company (BNC) was previously VAPE, a company focused on climate-controlled agriculture and e-cigarettes. In 2025, it executed a full pivot with a roughly $500 million PIPE led by YZi Labs, repositioning itself as the world’s largest publicly listed BNB treasury and rebranding as BNB Network Company ($BNC). CZ backed the deal to create a compliant, transparent and auditable public-market route for traditional investors to access BNB, akin to Strategy’s role for bitcoin. After months of governance disputes, the sides have now reached a cooperation agreement that strengthens the board, resets governance and refocuses the company on long-term support for BNB and its ecosystem while aligning shareholder interests.

Solana has implemented an adjustment to reduce the issuance of SOL tokens. The change has directly lowered on-chain staking yields, which are now around 2.25%. By slowing the pace of new token issuance, the network aims to curb inflation. The shift affects Solana’s economic model and token supply by reducing the return from staking rewards.

A total of 4,000 bitcoin (BTC) was unexpectedly pegged out of the Liquid sidechain bridge, with the transfer carrying an OP_RETURN note claiming the operator was a “whitehat” and requesting on-chain contact. The messaging and behavior were compared to the Ronin Network incident in which validator keys were compromised and about $625M was stolen. They were also likened to the “let’s talk” approach used by the Euler attacker to negotiate a return after the fact. The destination of the funds and the operator’s true intent remain unclear.

Robinhood chose to roll out its global crypto services on Ethereum via Arbitrum rather than Solana. The decision highlights that institutions prioritize ecosystem maturity and security, not just low costs. Solana recently saw a validator-offline incident affecting 29% of staked SOL that was not recorded on its status page, while its H1 2025 revenue was 95% tied to priority fees and Jito tips and its H1 2026 network revenue fell 87% year over year. By contrast, Arbitrum surpassed 10M daily transactions within two weeks of mainnet and launched with tokenized U.S. equities, Uniswap and Chainlink, underscoring the scaling capacity of Ethereum’s L2s.

GoMining has suffered a security incident in which a hack emptied more than 600 wallets, with total losses of about $2.8 million in crypto assets. The attackers then swapped the stolen funds into ETH and consolidated the holdings. The incident directly threatens the safety of funds held by GOMINING token holders and highlights serious weaknesses in the project’s wallet security. The token’s price could face negative pressure, while the large-scale conversion into ETH may add additional selling pressure to the Ethereum market.

Solana (SOL) is holding the $100 price level as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recognizes it as a commodity. The regulatory characterization helps clarify SOL’s legal standing. It also reduces the tail risk of SOL being treated as a security, giving projects and investors clearer compliance expectations.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a Nasdaq Texas rule change (Release No. 34-106268) that lists XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ether and Solana as eligible commodities for Commodity-Based Trust Shares, according to the filing. The decision gives XRP explicit recognition within ETF listing standards. It establishes a “big four” lineup of compliant crypto assets and clears a path for related trust products to be launched.

SBI-affiliated exchanges SBI VC Trade and BITPoint said they will delist nine digital assets as part of a strategic service integration and compliance overhaul. Purchase services for Jasmy, $APT, $BNB, and $PEPE are scheduled to end on October 7, 2026. Users must complete all sales and withdrawals by October 28, or remaining balances will be liquidated and converted into Japanese yen for account credit in November. Jasmy CEO @H_Hara_Jasmy said the decision stems from BITPOINT’s internal handling policies and is unrelated to the project’s business activities or the Jasmy Chain development roadmap.
