BITWISE ACCUMULATED 28,000 $HYPE Bitwise bought 28,085.8 $HYPE (~$1.52M) from Nonco for its ETF clients and moved the tokens to its BHYP wallet. Address: 0x22B9A48DA7BF0C97F0C71C4EC833008F8E9f90b5

Bitwise just swapped two 2021 blue chips for Hyperliquid @Bitwise's flagship crypto index ETF rebalanced, and the changing of the guard is stark. Out: Polkadot and Avalanche. In: Hyperliquid and Stellar's stellar:native. DOT and AVAX were top-tier L1s last cycle, both now down more than 95% from their 2021 peaks. $HYPE walked in as the fund's fifth-biggest holding, on the back of $1.34 trillion in first-half exchange volume.

Bitlight Labs publishes a complete disaster recovery solution for RGB assets on Lightning Network channels. The wire-level specification is formalized as bLIP-0072, complementing bLIP-0070. Standard Lightning channels already have a well-defined recovery path for BTC: recover from backup, sweep your funds on-chain using your seed. Solved. RGB assets in Lightning channels are a different problem. Allocations are client-side validated and stored locally—not on-chain. When a channel loses state, the RGB allocation cannot be reconstructed from chain data alone. It exists only in the counterparty's local stock. bLIP-0072 defines how to retrieve it.

Bitlight Wallet v1.3.1 Released We are pleased to announce the release of Bitlight Wallet v1.3.1, introducing key enhancements to RGB asset interoperability and browser extension performance. What's New: • RGB Asset Consignment Import/Export — Bitlight Wallet now supports importing and exporting RGB asset consignments for RGB Lightning Nodes on Regtest, shipped alongside rgb-ldk-control-panel v0.0.4. This milestone enables developers to test end-to-end RGB asset transfers across Lightning channels in a controlled environment. • Chrome Extension Optimization — The Bitlight WASM library powering the Chrome extension has been optimized and upgraded. These updates reflect our continued commitment to advancing RGB protocol infrastructure and delivering a seamless developer experience. We encourage developers building on RGB Lightning to test consignment workflows and provide feedback. Make Bitcoin Smart.

Bitlight Wallet v1.3.0 We've shipped three targeted improvements in this release: - PayJoin fee optimization: resolved an edge case where transaction construction produced unnecessarily elevated fee rates. - Rebroadcast logic refinement: transactions now propagate with greater reliability under adverse network conditions. - Custom API error handling: Esplora exceptions are now surfaced with structured error codes, improving debuggability for integrators. As always, we build for precision. Make Bitcoin Smart.

Bitlight Labs has completed its Bitcoin Infrastructure Modernization — upgrading from Bitcoin Core 28.x to v31.0 and deploying Cluster Mempool across our stack. Full technical write-up: What changed: → Cluster Mempool replaces per-transaction tracking with cluster-based evaluation. Transactions are now grouped and ordered by chunk feerate, enabling more accurate block template construction and stricter RBF semantics. → Fee estimation precision improved from 1 sat/vB to 0.1 sat/vB — reducing overpayment in low-fee environments for wallets and protocol-level settlement. → mempool-electrs upgraded to v3.3.0 with multi-tier fee estimation (fastest / halfHour / hour / economy / minimum), while preserving full backward compatibility with existing electrs endpoints. → Private broadcast support via Tor/I2P for transaction relay, reducing originating IP leakage. → Default dbcache increased to 1024 MB on 4GB+ systems, improving sync and validation performance. For RGB Layer2 infrastructure, this means more predictable CPFP/RBF behavior, cleaner fee selection for on-chain settlement, and a stronger foundation for commitment transactions. Our approach: stay close to upstream, reduce unnecessary abstraction, build where the protocol is actually moving. Make Bitcoin Smart.
