iobtc @IntentBTC

Quantum computing sounds like a distant, abstract threat to Bitcoin. BitGo CEO @mikebelshe treats it as an engineering problem already being solved. On Coin Stories with @natbrunell, he explains a quiet but meaningful shift: wallets have spent a decade optimizing how they spend your bitcoin to keep fees low. Now, BitGo has built a way to optimize for something else entirely, keeping your public keys from ever being exposed in the first place.

@Uniswap @arc cirBTC lands in a crowded field: 11 wrappers compared on archetype — custodial, on-chain verifiable reserves, threshold-bonded, cryptographic peg — plus rail, chains, and supply. iobtc.io/get/wrapped-bt…

@3iq_corp @Anchorage Who actually holds the coin is one of the fields we track for every listed spot wrapper, next to backing and listing venue — the Canada rail where QBTC sits included. iobtc.io/get/paper-expo…

Blink is the same app on both sides of a line iobtc compares: third-party custody vs self-custody, on key control, recovery, and exit. iobtc.io/hold/

An attacker drained a limited number of Blink custodial accounts on Sept 19. Blink says a few dozen accounts were hit and will be made whole, non-custodial balances were untouched, and services are back online with the vulnerability fixed. x.com/blinkbtc/statu…

We've paused Blink services while we investigate a security incident. An attacker accessed a limited number of custodial accounts and withdrew funds. The large majority of funds are secure. Non-custodial wallets are not affected.

⚠️ A malicious app just read crypto wallets it was never supposed to touch. It didn't fake anything. It didn't trick anyone into entering their seed phrase. It just exploited an iOS vulnerability and pulled the data directly from other apps on the same phone. SlowMist and OKX confirmed it: FomoPepe versions 1.1-1.2 contained a kernel exploit that escapes the app sandbox and reads straight from your Keychain. The wallet app was real. The user did nothing wrong. Didn't matter. This is the problem with storing keys on a smartphone. You're not just trusting your wallet app. You're trusting every other app on the device, every system vulnerability, and every future exploit nobody has found yet. Updating iOS helps. But you're always one step behind. There's only one way to stay ahead: never keep your keys on your phone. 🔐 A hardware wallet generates and stores your seed phrase offline. What's never in that environment can never be taken from it.

@sygnumofficial Useful detail: drawdown within 24h against segregated bank custody, flexible draw and repay. That regulated-bank collateral custody is what separates Sygnum from retail-tier lenders on our BTC borrowing comparison. iobtc.io/finance/borrow/

E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley is now on iobtc's custodial-BTC comparison: eligible US clients buy, sell and hold spot BTC inside the brokerage, kept in a linked Zero Hash account at 50 bps. No on-chain transfers at launch; expected later in 2026. iobtc.io/get/custodial-…

@bitfinex @RGB_Hub @RGBAssociation RGB is the client-side-validation row on iobtc's Bitcoin protocols comparison: no indexer to trust, L1 settlement plus client commits, still marked emerging. Compared with Taproot Assets, DLCs, BitVM and the rest on trust inheritance and maturity. iobtc.io/build/protocol…

@unchained @dhruvbansal On iobtc's shared-custody comparison Unchained is the 2-of-3 row: you hold 2 keys, Unchained 1, so no single party can block your exit or spend alone. Compared with Casa, Nunchuk, Liana and the rest on who can recover and who can block. iobtc.io/hold/shared-cu…

L-BTC now shows two red pills on iobtc's wrapped-BTC comparison: redeem suspended (recovery), peg integrity marked by the Sept-2026 unbacked mint. ~598 of 3,996 BTC pegged out remain outstanding; blocks resumed 10 Sept on Elements 23.3.4, pegs still off. iobtc.io/get/wrapped-bt…

Retire the wire. ACH deposits are now live at Unchained.

@peachbitcoin On iobtc's native-BTC comparison Peach is the P2P row: no routine platform KYC within typical limits, trades settle to your own wallet via Lightning or on-chain, any KYC comes from the counterparty's fiat rail. Next to Bisq, RoboSats and Hodl Hodl. iobtc.io/get/native-btc/

@CasaHODL On iobtc's shared-custody comparison Casa is the 2-of-3 row: you hold 2, Casa 1, so nobody can block your exit and spending continues if Casa disappears (descriptor migration needed). Compared with Unchained, Nunchuk, Liana and the rest. iobtc.io/hold/shared-cu…

Stacks Bitcoin Bonds are now on iobtc's Earn comparison: native BTC in an L1 timelock under your own keys, paired with an STX lock, earns the BTC that Stacks miners commit each block. ~3% target, paid weekly, 12-cycle term. Next to custodial and DeFi. iobtc.io/finance/earn/

More about the Lightning integration: blog.bitbox.swiss/en/introducing…

@unchained On iobtc we list the 2-of-3 version (you hold 2, Unchained 1) in the shared-custody comparison: who can recover, who can block an exit, and what happens if the vendor disappears, next to Casa, Nunchuk and the rest. iobtc.io/hold/shared-cu…

Where this sits on iobtc: BitBox02 is a hardware row among 17 self-custody wallets; Lightning is now listed as a capability, with the hot-wallet and Spark caveats noted next to recovery path. iobtc.io/hold/wallets/

BitBox's Meggen update adds a Lightning wallet to the mobile BitBoxApp (public beta, BitBox02 and Nova): a hot wallet whose keys derive from your existing backup via BIP-85, on Breez SDK + Spark, no node to run. Spark brings its own trust assumptions. blog.bitbox.swiss/en/introducing…

Where this sits on iobtc: Bisq is the P2P row among native-BTC acquisition rails — KYC surface, recurring buys and Lightning support compared across 14 providers. iobtc.io/get/native-btc/

Bisq v1.10.8 is a required security update from its recent audit: refund payouts now need validated escrow evidence and authenticated authorization; replayed refund receipts are blocked. Update to keep trading. github.com/bisq-network/b…
