Adam Back says Liquid BTC is collateralized after dashboard problem

A lack of visibility and the counting of old addresses were to blame for a popular Liquid Network dashboard displaying just 82.4% assets backing the $350 million market capitalization of Liquid Bitcoin (LBTC) this week.

This is according to Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, a founding member of the Liquid network and one of its 15 functionaries.

For a few confusing hours on Monday, Mempool.space’s monitoring system displayed less than 3,463 bitcoin (BTC) as the assets backing liabilities of 4,199 LBTC in circulation.

Shortly after, the website went mostly blank with a status message, “Indexing in progress.”

Protos reached out to Blockstream for comment on the incident. According to Back, the error was the result of Mempool.space failing to track all federated wallets.

“Mempool.space the operators of liquid.network had not upgraded their node software following the most recent dynafed [Dynamic Federations] network upgrade. So they were looking at old addresses and not having visibility,” Back explained.

“They were notified, and promptly fixed that problem, and you can see on liquid.network that they are in the process of reindexing. The address they were missing is this one.”

At the same time, Blockstream’s independent dashboard showed 100% backing, with 4,199 BTC in federated wallets.

LBTC also held its 1:1 price parity with BTC during the time.

DeFi Technologies' Valour Launches New Bitcoin-Collateralized ETP on London Stock Exchange

PANews reported on September 19th that, as the UK gradually relaxes restrictions on digital assets, Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, launched a Bitcoin-collateralized ETP on the London Stock Exchange, offering investors the opportunity to earn cryptocurrency returns. This Bitcoin-collateralized ETP offers an annual yield of 1.4%, backed by Bitcoin held in cold wallets and secured by multi-party computation (MCP) technology. Currently, this new Bitcoin-collateralized ETP is only available to institutional and professional investors. The UK will allow retail investors to purchase cryptocurrency ETNs again on October 8, lifting a ban in place since 2021. The announcement did not specify how returns will be generated. However, another Bitcoin ETP listed by Valour on a French exchange generates Bitcoin returns by delegating tokens on Core Chain.

Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules

Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules

The post Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Department of the Treasury has issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin implementing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. The measure invites public comments for 30 days following publication in the Federal Register, with submissions viewable on Regulations.gov. The Treasury is seeking input on consumer protection, illicit finance, financial stability, and compliance obligations for stablecoin issuers, as it develops the first formal regulations under the new law. The GENIUS Act, passed earlier this year, marked the first major US legislation focused specifically on payment stablecoins. It directs the Treasury to create a regulatory framework that balances innovation with oversight. This effort follows the Treasury’s August 18 request for comment on detecting illicit activity involving digital assets, which remains open until October 17. While the current notice does not impose new obligations, it signals a pivotal stage in translating the GENIUS Act into enforceable policy. Ethereum stablecoin supply | Blockworks Research Ethereum remains the dominant hub for stablecoins, with a circulating supply of $174 billion on its network, representing 60.7% market share across all chains, according to Blockworks Research data. USDT leads with more than $84 billion deployed on Ethereum, followed by USDC at $47 billion.  Emerging stablecoins such as USDe and USDf have shown sharp growth, expanding their supply by over $141 million and $38 million respectively in recent reporting periods.
