The post Secret Network SCRT Migration to Arbitrum Highlights Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Secret Network is pushing for one of the more dramatic moves in the Cosmos ecosystem: a full Secret Network SCRT migration from its current Cosmos-based chain to Arbitrum, the Ethereum layer-2 network. The proposal, published in a July 7 governance post, frames the shift as a response to real and growing threats — a fresh bridge exploit, a deteriorating liquidity environment, and code that is aging in an era when AI tools are making old vulnerabilities cheaper to exploit. Key takeaways Secret Network proposes migrating SCRT to Arbitrum as a new ERC-20 token via a one-time snapshot on September 1. A recent $4.7 million Axelar-Secret bridge exploit is a central driver of the security case for migration. Only native and staked SCRT balances qualify for the snapshot; bridged, contract-held, sSCRT, and IBC assets are excluded. The migration requires a community governance vote and will n

The post Base To Launch B20 Standard For Fungible Tokens On Mainnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base is set to activate its B20 token standard on mainnet, introducing a native framework for stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and other fungible tokens. According to Base documentation, B20 is scheduled to go live at 6 pm UTC on the mainnet, enabling developers to begin creating tokens under the new standard. The activation will enable developers to use Base’s native token standard to create stablecoins, RWAs, tokenized equities and other fungible tokens without requiring them to build and audit custom ERC-20 contracts. The standard supports two variants: asset and stablecoin. The asset variant has configurable decimals between six and 18, while the stablecoin variant has fixed six-decimal formatting and requires issuers to specify a fiat currency denomination, such as the US dollar or euro. B20 supports two variants. Source:

The post Tether USDT Burn Marks Largest Ethereum Reduction in 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
On July 7, 2026, Tether executed a $2.5 billion USDT burn on the Ethereum network — its largest single reduction of stablecoin supply since February 2026. The move landed the same day Binance’s USDT balance on the Tron network slipped below a key threshold, raising questions about what these two simultaneous shifts say about stablecoin liquidity and cross-chain dynamics heading into mid-2026.
