⚖️ Robinhood partners with OG.com for prediction markets
Robinhood has selected OG.com as its infrastructure and clearing partner for its prediction markets business.
OG.com has transitioned into a standalone entity with a reported $5 billion valuation. Robinhood's decision to build on OG.com's infrastructure marks a notable step in its push into crypto-native financial products.
CRO, the native token of Crypto.com, rallied on reports that Robinhood has taken stakes in both Crypto.com and OG.com, though specific terms of those investments were not detailed in available sources.
The partnership highlights growing institutional interest in prediction markets as a regulated, crypto-adjacent product category.
⚖️ U.S. Court Orders $212K Crypto Seizure Tied to North Korea IT Scheme
A U.S. federal court has ordered the forfeiture of approximately $212,700 in stablecoins linked to wages paid to North Korean IT workers, handing the Justice Department a partial win in a broader enforcement action.
The DOJ had sought to seize over $7.74 million in digital assets connected to the scheme, making the $212K ruling a partial outcome. The funds were tied to earnings generated by North Korean nationals posing as remote IT workers — a known tactic used to funnel income back to the DPRK.
The case highlights ongoing regulatory and law enforcement pressure on crypto-based sanctions evasion, with stablecoins increasingly scrutinized as a vehicle for illicit cross-border transfers.
🟠 Bitcoin-Gold Correlation Hits Nine-Year High as Nasdaq Link Fades
Bitcoin's 90-day correlation with gold has reached its highest level in nine years, climbing to 0.56, while its correlation with the Nasdaq has dropped to a one-year low, according to data from Protos.
The shift coincides with the US Treasury's "QE Lite" announcement, which analysts say has reunited so-called debasement traders — investors seeking assets that hold value against currency dilution — around both gold and Bitcoin simultaneously.
The development reinforces a narrative that Bitcoin increasingly behaves as a macro hedge rather than a tech-adjacent risk asset during periods of monetary policy uncertainty.

🔐 Liquid Network Loses 4,000 BTC in $320M Security Breach
Blockstream's Liquid Network has been frozen after approximately 4,000 BTC — worth around $320 million — was withdrawn from its Federation wallet over the weekend, in what the project is calling a security incident.
The withdrawal was executed via the SideSwap PAK (Peg-out Authorisation Key), though Liquid confirmed the key itself was not compromised. The network has been paused as a precautionary measure, and L-BTC is now backed by only 4.7% of the required Bitcoin. Exchanges connected to the sidechain moved to protect users. The actors behind the withdrawal have been described as purported white-hat hackers, and Blockstream has publicly stated it is "safe to return the funds."
Most key participants in the Liquid Federation have yet to issue official statements. The incident is one of the largest security events in Bitcoin sidechain history and raises serious questions about the operational security of federated Bitcoin networks.
🔐 Sality Botnet Dismantled After 23 Years of Crypto Theft
A joint operation by the U.S. DOJ, authorities from Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania, CrowdStrike, and the Shadowserver Foundation has dismantled the Sality botnet — one of the longest-running cybercrime networks in history.
First appearing in 2003 as a file-infecting virus, Sality spent years quietly stealing crypto by monitoring clipboard activity and replacing copied Bitcoin and Ethereum wallet addresses with the attacker's own — a classic clipboard hijacking attack. The operation, executed on August 31, 2026, used Sality's own peer-to-peer architecture against it, manipulating peer lists and taking down payload URLs to sever the operator's access to over 15,000 infected machines worldwide. Dormant wallets linked to the operation reportedly held $1.5M in stolen crypto.
Clipboard hijacking remains one of the most underreported crypto threats — users sending transactions on compromised machines may never notice the address swap until funds are gone. Verifying wallet addresses character-by-character before confirming any transaction is essential.
