Bitcoin Core patches high-severity mining bug
Three security flaws were addressed, including a critical issue that could prevent miners from creating new blocks. The bugs involved denial-of-service and privacy risks rather than direct theft. Some nodes faced issues with transaction validation due to unavailable outputs.
Why it matters: Miners now have a more stable environment for block creation, reducing potential disruptions in the network.

Bitcoin capital exits as investors hedge against price drops
Glassnode's analysis shows capital is leaving Bitcoin even as larger investors accumulate. Options traders are increasingly hedging against potential price declines, and prediction markets are showing more cautious outlooks on Bitcoin's recovery. The cost of borrowing Bitcoin for short-term strategies is reducing their profitability.
Why it matters: Investors who rely on short-term strategies may lose out as borrowing costs rise and market uncertainty grows.
