Australia says it removed 45 crypto, remittance registrations over the past year
AUSTRAC said its yearlong sweep included canceled, suspended and unrenewed registrations, while its action against GetCoins helped disrupt organized investment scams. Australia’s financial intelligence regulator said it canceled, suspended or refused to renew 45 crypto and remittance registrations over the past year as it intensified scrutiny of high-risk payment businesses. On Monday, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) said the actions targeted providers that were inactive, insolvent or lacked the capacity to operate.

Liquid Network recovers 3,400 Bitcoin from white-hat hackers as talks continue over remaining $47M
The incident highlights the risks in federated sidechains, prompting scrutiny of security protocols and trust in decentralized finance systems. The post Liquid Network recovers 3,400 Bitcoin from white-hat hackers as talks continue over remaining $47M appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
Gold and Bitcoin Are Hedges, But Why Is a Stablecoin Company Buying Farmland?
Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, has spent $600 million buying majority control of a South American farming conglomerate, adding land to a reserve strategy that already includes billions in gold and Bitcoin (BTC). The move follows a clean audit from KPMG, one of the Big Four accounting firms. However, Tether’s own reserve buffer has since fallen 40%, raising questions about its scarce-asset hedges. Tether acquired roughly 70% of Adecoagro, a Nasdaq-listed agribusiness farming more than 200,000 hectares across Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.
Liquid ‘white hats’ return $270M in Bitcoin as network prepares restart
The actors returned 85% of the Bitcoin withdrawn from Liquid’s federation wallet following the security incident. Purported white-hat hackers returned 3,400 Bitcoin worth about $270 million to the Liquid Federation wallet after withdrawing roughly $320 million from the Bitcoin sidechain’s reserves. On Monday, JAN3 CEO and former Blockstream executive Samson Mow said the return followed confirmation from Blockstream that the affected bridge nodes had been patched. He said about 598 BTC remains outstanding and that Blockstream continues to engage with the actors.
Bitcoin Tests $82K Resistance as ETF Buying Strengthens
Bitcoin's hovering around $79,000, bolstered by a hefty $730.9 million in ETF inflows last week, marking the second-largest daily influx this year. Analysts at CryptoRus see this as a crucial moment to test whether institutional buying can push BTC past the $82,000 resistance. They’re framing it as a bullish test rather than a definitive breakout just yet.
Three key signals are worth noting. First, Bitcoin's resilience near $80,000, despite a strong US jobs report, suggests institutional buyers are stepping in. Second, a significant $554.2 million in liquidations, mainly from shorts, indicates real demand, although it’s not a guarantee of sustained momentum. Lastly, Zcash's meteoric rise hints at speculative capital focusing on scarcity narratives, which could influence broader market sentiment.
Currently, Bitcoin's up about 2% this week and 23% over the month, but still down 28% year-over-year. The focus remains on the $79,000 and $82,000 levels; a close above $82,000 could signal a stronger bullish trend, while a drop below $79,000 would shift the outlook.

A seven-year-old blockchain is permanently abandoning its own network to seek refuge on Ethereum
Harmony is proposing to shut down the blockchain it controversially restored through a rollback less than three weeks ago. The Sept. 6 plan would end Harmony’s independent network, move ONE to Ethereum, and preserve the token through a snapshot and airdrop, reversing the project’s position from Aug. 17, when it rejected migration as too disruptive. Instead, Harmony chose to roll back the chain after an Aug. 11 exploit that allowed attackers to reuse cross-shard receipts and mint tokens without corresponding debits elsewhere. The project initially reported 4 billion ONE created in the attack.
Tether-backed crypto exchange freezes withdrawals after $7 million leaves custody
Orionx, the Tether-backed crypto exchange, has frozen withdrawals after over $7 million was transferred out of its custody. A forensic audit revealed that customer assets were moved to wallets beyond the exchange's control, leading to its decision to shut down permanently. This follows Tether's investment in Orionx last June, aimed at expanding its reach in Latin America.
With the Chilean Comisión para el Mercado Financiero unable to oversee the closure or enforce asset returns, customers are left in a precarious situation. Orionx is currently in the early stages of winding down, and it’s unclear how much can be recovered or when repayments might occur. The exchange has stated that it’s committed to returning as much customer property as possible, but the timeline remains uncertain.
As they navigate this process, Orionx has also filed a criminal complaint against former executives, but accountability for the missing funds is still up in the air. For listeners who want low-fee crypto exposure, our markets partner Kraken supports USDT — link in show notes.
