According to Cointelegraph, decentralized exchange PancakeSwap has reported a cumulative trading volume of $836 billion and a total value locked (TVL) of approximately $1.72 billion over its four years of operation. As of September 20, PancakeSwap's TVL stood at $1.72 billion, a significant decrease from its all-time high of $7.16 billion on May 4, 2021, as per DefiLlama. The TVL was about $2.42 billion on March 30 and has been declining since then.
The exchange, which operates on an automated market maker (AMM) model, serves over 43 million cumulative unique addresses. PancakeSwap has announced the upcoming release of PancakeSwap v4, a major update aimed at enhancing user experience and scalability. The update is expected to address shortcomings in existing AMMs, such as inflexible pricing models, limited trading features compared to centralized exchanges, impermanent loss for liquidity providers, and high on-chain gas fees. Chef Kids, head of PancakeSwap, stated that the new version would offer dynamic fee tiers, advanced trading tools, and reduced gas fees, thereby improving the overall trading experience and lowering costs.
PancakeSwap has also released its v4 white paper this year and launched a $500,000 developer program to attract top-tier builders ahead of the official v4 launch. As part of this initiative, PancakeSwap is hosting a v4 Hookathon on Dorahacks, with submissions open until September 30. Launched in 2020, PancakeSwap is available across nine chains, including BNB Chain, Ethereum, Aptos, Polygon zkEVM, ZKsync Era, Arbitrum One, Linea, Base, and opBNB.
Chef Kids mentioned that PancakeSwap plans to expand its decentralized exchange to more chains. By focusing on product-market fit, PancakeSwap aims to address the lack of functionality and user experience in many DEXs. Improving accessibility and trading efficiency on emerging networks could help PancakeSwap fill a crucial market gap.#PancakeSwap #TradingVolume #DecentralizedExchange #DeFi #AMM #TotalValueLocked #PancakeSwapV4 #UserExperience #Scalability #LiquidityProviders #GasFees #DeveloperProgram #Hookathon #Blockchain #Crypto #TradingEfficiency #ChainExpansion #CAKE

Zhang discussed the technical challenges, solutions, and future prospects of a decentralized AI ecosystem using Hyperbolic as an example. He highlighted that AI is the most powerful and latest technology of this era, applicable in fields such as social media, finance, and transportation. Distributed computing resources can enhance AI performance, and by building a high-quality centralized operating system, users can contribute their computing resources to participate in AI operations, forming a decentralized ecosystem. However, Zhang also pointed out challenges in performance optimization, verification mechanisms, and data privacy protection, offering corresponding solutions. He emphasized the importance of collaboration in driving AI technology innovation and ecosystem construction, which can help build a more open, efficient, and secure AI ecosystem.

π Weaker Yen Supports Bitcoin Amid Federal Reserve Policy Changes

According to BlockBeats, on September 20, derivatives trader Gordon Grant highlighted that the weakening yen, in addition to changes in Federal Reserve policies, has been providing support for Bitcoin. The strengthening of the US dollar against the yen since Monday has created additional upward momentum for Bitcoin.
Grant explained that historically, a stronger US dollar against the yen has been beneficial for high-risk assets. This is because the yen is often used as a funding currency for 'risk-on' trades, where investors borrow low-interest currencies like the yen to seek higher returns.#WeakerYen #BitcoinSupport #FederalReserve #USdollar #HighRiskAssets #RiskOnTrades #BTC

π Bitcoin's Risk-Reward Potential Remains Attractive, Says 10x Research
#Bitcoin #10xResearch #cryptocurrency #riskreward #bullmarket #bearmarket #trading #Ethereum #investing #BTC
According to Odaily, renowned cryptocurrency research firm 10x Research recently stated on the X platform that Bitcoin continues to be one of the most attractive assets in terms of risk-reward potential. Following a warning about downside risks after Bitcoin's peak in March-April, the firm has adopted a tactically optimistic stance amid Bitcoin's sharp decline. Several previously published reports support their more optimistic outlook for a significant rise in Bitcoin's value.
Additionally, breaking Bitcoin's downward trendline could indicate stronger upward momentum, potentially pushing Bitcoin above the 21-week simple moving average of $60,996. This level is a key indicator for determining whether Bitcoin is in a bull market (above) or a bear market (below). Surpassing this level sets a target of $65,000, which is now within reach. Notably, current trading signals have increased long positions to a net long position of 70% for the first time. Historical pattern analysis suggests that this shift indicates Bitcoin and Ethereum may offer attractive buying opportunities in the next 2-3 months.#Bitcoin #10xResearch #cryptocurrency #riskreward #bullmarket #bearmarket #trading #Ethereum #investing #BTC
π South Korea to Launch Large-Scale Tokenized Deposit Pilot by End of 2024

According to Odaily, South Korea plans to initiate a large-scale tokenized deposit pilot by the end of 2024, involving approximately 100,000 individuals. Originally scheduled to start in September or October 2023, the pilot has experienced a slight delay. The initiative will utilize a voucher-like system, allowing users to purchase goods at convenience stores. This effort is part of the Bank of Korea's (BOK) wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) program, aimed at supporting interbank tokenized deposit settlements.
Currently, six major commercial banks are participating in the project, including NH NongHyup Bank. The Korea Financial Telecommunications and Clearings Institute (KFTC) will manage the smart contracts. A banking industry insider noted that despite the slight delay, launching a pilot involving 100,000 users within the year would be a significant global milestone. The Bank of Korea is also actively involved in the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) led cross-border payment projects, including the AgorΓ‘ project, which involves seven central banks and 41 institutions, aiming to tokenize correspondent banking services. South Korea's six banksβHana Bank, Korea Development Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, NH NongHyup Bank, Shinhan Bank, and Woori Bankβare also participants. Additionally, South Korea is an observer in another BIS cross-border payment project, mBridge.#SouthKorea #TokenizedDeposit #CBDC #BankOfKorea #PilotProject #DigitalCurrency #CommercialBanks #FinancialTechnology #CrossBorderPayments #BIS

π Bitcoin Core Developers Issue High Severity Warning Over Node Vulnerability
#Bitcoin #BitcoinCore #NodeVulnerability #DenialOfService #SecurityAlert #Cryptocurrency #SoftwareUpdate #Blockchain #BTC
According to PANews, Bitcoin Core developers have issued a high severity warning, revealing that one in six Bitcoin nodes has a software vulnerability. On Thursday, the open-source Bitcoin Core project, which maintains the software running on over 98% of reachable full nodes, disclosed a significant security issue affecting software on 17% of the network's nodes. Specifically, all software versions below Bitcoin Core 24.0.1 are at risk. Bitnodes' monitoring estimates that this denial-of-service vulnerability impacts approximately 3,330 of the 19,200 accessible Bitcoin full nodes' user agents.
In Bitcoin Core software versions prior to 24.0.1, malicious actors could spam nodes using a low-difficulty header chain. By forcing nodes to download and store an excessively long header chain, the attack could crash nodes by consuming too much bandwidth or device storage space. Developers addressed this vulnerability in Bitcoin Core pull request (PR) number 25717 and merged the fix into production with the release of version 24.0.1 on December 12, 2022. The current Bitcoin Core node software version (now 27.1) includes fixes for this and other vulnerabilities.
Although this vulnerability is quite severe, there are few known instances of it being exploited in the public record. The high cost of generating and broadcasting block header chains to execute a denial-of-service attack makes it economically unfeasible for most attackers. However, it remains a security flaw that could be exploited by extremely wealthy, powerful, or technically skilled entities, such as a nation-state, who might aim to disrupt Bitcoin operations for non-financial or financial delay reasons. In early June, developers agreed to disclose severe vulnerabilities in Bitcoin Core software that had been patched for at least 18 months. Initially, they disclosed vulnerabilities in versions 20 and below. Every few weeks, they continue to reveal more software vulnerabilities. Unless Bitcoin node operators update their software, up to 17% of the network's nodes could be at risk of denial-of-service attacks.#Bitcoin #BitcoinCore #NodeVulnerability #DenialOfService #SecurityAlert #Cryptocurrency #SoftwareUpdate #Blockchain #BTC
