Bitcoin Core hardens a risky signing path
Bitcoin Core hardens a risky signing pathA narrow PSBT flaw can leave recipients unprotected; the fix’s production rollout remains unconfirmed.
Bitcoin Core has tightened a signing path that could leave a payment destination unprotected even when a user’s private key stays secure. The change concerns a narrow transaction configuration, but it gives wallet providers and hardware-signing integrations a concrete safeguard to review. El Salvador secured another IMF disbursement while retaining limits on state-funded Bitcoin accumulation. In the US, the SEC cleared exchange listing rules for 3x Bitcoin and Ether futures products, although that decision alone does not establish that investors can buy them. Top News
Bitcoin Core’s new fix closes gap that could redirect funds without stealing keysThe September 25 change rejects a specific SIGHASH_SINGLE request when an input has no matching output, closing a gap in partially signed Bitcoin transactions used by wallets and offline signers. In that configuration, signatures on legacy and SegWit v0 inputs can fail to protect the intended recipient; other valid inputs can still be signed. CryptoSlate’s October 4 report identified no confirmed production release or backport, so the development-branch merge does not establish that deployed wallets have the safeguard.
El Salvador’s $666 million Bitcoin reserve survives IMF reviewThe IMF’s October 1 review made about $138 million available despite missed Bitcoin criteria.

Their objective is three times daily benchmark returns; registration effectiveness and a first trading date remained unconfirmed in October 4 reporting. From Our Sponsor
