A Wrenching Development | Bitcoin News

Bitcoin news and economic news update. Today I cover the growing threat of wrench attacks against Bitcoin holders, Binance customer data reportedly used by Russian authorities, new institutional Bitcoin ETF holdings from Edelman Financial, Goldman Sachs on September interest rates, and Strategy’s latest balance-sheet moves. I also get into crypto-stealing malware, California’s proposed restrictions on AI therapy chatbots, and Harmony’s plan to roll back more than 109,000 transactions after an exploit.
