Sui Network suffers two consecutive outages due to bugs in its 1.72 upgrade, disrupting block production and sparking market concerns.
The Sui blockchain, a Layer-1 network developed by Mysten Labs, encountered its second outage in as many days on Friday, May 29, 2026. According to the network’s status dashboard, block production halted for over three and a half hours before being restored. The disruption followed an earlier six-hour outage on May 28 due to a bug introduced in the 1.72 software upgrade. The Sui team attributed the outages to issues with the new release, which introduced changes to address balances and gas charging logic. “Yesterday’s implemented fix was an interim measure designed to restore functionality to the network,” the team explained, adding that a more comprehensive fix has since been deployed by most vali
The post Wall Street’s trillion-dollar dilemma: Why AI-powered hackers are keeping big banks off the blockchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Traditional financial institutions are preparing to move trillions of dollars of assets onchain, but the risk of hacks and exploits is putting them off, according to blockchain security firm CertiK’s CEO Ronghui Gu. “Right now, more and more institutions are trying to move assets onchain,” Gu told CoinDesk in an interview. “They imagine that, let’s say in 10 years, multiple trillion dollars — even tens of trillions of dollars — of assets are going to move onchain.” The potentially massive migration of financial assets is hitting a wall because, although bankers and legacy institutions want to capture the efficiency of decentralized ledgers, the current operational reality is still too risky for conservative capital allocators. “When they move assets onchain, they need to face all these AI attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, oracle man

The post Sui Mainnet Two-Day Outage Tests Layer-1 Resilience As Base, Arbitrum, Ondo Make Moves appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Sui’s mainnet ground to a halt for two consecutive days in late May, suspending user transactions and rattling confidence in a chain that had been riding a wave of adoption. According to the original report, the outages originated from an interaction conflict between the Address Balances feature and gas billing logic introduced in version 1.72. A temporary fix deployed earlier carried a known issue that could trigger outages with an extremely low probability—a calculated risk that backfired when epoch transition problems piled on, leaving validator nodes running yet unable to process any user transactions. The incident hits a network that just weeks ago saw institutional staking and a Paga partnership drive an 18% price surge. Now the core team must publish a post-mortem and convince builders, validators, and DeFi protocols that the chain’s upgrade pipeli

The Sui layer-1 blockchain experienced another disruption on Friday, causing a “network stall” that temporarily halted block production, before normal activity resumed, according to the Sui team. Network activity “may be paused,” the Sui team said. The network disruption lasted for over three hours and 30 minutes at the time of publication, according to the Sui network’s uptime dashboard. Sui’s mainnet validators experienced disruptions on both Thursday and Friday. Source: Sui The last block before the disruption was produced at about 11:51 UTC on Friday, according to the Suiscan block explorer. Network activity on the Sui mainnet resumed at about 3:30 UTC. The Sui team said in an update: “Both today’s and yesterday’s halts are due to the interaction of the 1.72 release, which introduced address balances and gas charging logic. Yesterday’s implemented fix was an interim measure designed to resto
The post Grayscale says Hyperliquid could become a ‘financial services juggernaut’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Hyperliquid (HYPE), a decentralized trading platform that began as a crypto perpetual futures exchange less than three years ago, is increasingly being viewed by Wall Street analysts as a broader financial infrastructure play that could challenge parts of traditional exchanges and derivatives markets. In a new report, Grayscale described Hyperliquid as a fast-growing blockchain-based platform that generated roughly $800 million in revenue in 2025 while capturing meaningful market share in crypto perpetual futures, one of the largest segments of digital asset trading. “Hyperliquid is not directly comparable to another project in either crypto or traditional finance,” Grayscale wrote. “If it continues to execute well … we think Hyperliquid could become a financial services juggernaut.” Perpetual futures, or “perps,” are derivatives contracts that allow traders to specul
