Odaily News: Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group launched a new WTI crude oil futures contract on Sunday, with each contract representing only 10 barrels of crude oil. At current prices, the trading size is approximately $860. In comparison, CME's previous micro WTI contract and standard contract corresponded to 100 barrels and 1,000 barrels, respectively.

This change further opens up the crude oil futures market—previously requiring significant capital to participate—to individual investors. Online brokerage platforms, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and small-sized futures contracts have also been continuously lowering the barriers for retail investors to enter this market, which is valued at around $3 trillion.

However, increased retail participation does not mean individual investors can sway crude oil prices the way they might in certain individual stock markets. Professional institutions and commercial capital still hold larger trading volumes and play a dominant role in the benchmark price formation process. CME's launch of the 10-barrel WTI crude oil contract primarily changes how retail investors participate in the crude oil market, rather than being a core force determining oil prices. Production, consumption, inventories, and geopolitics will continue to play the primary roles in crude oil pricing. (CNBC)

Odaily News, According to monitoring by Paddy-earthling, Injective was reportedly paused for approximately 4 hours due to a binary options vulnerability. The attacker exploited a decommissioned but still-registered oracle Frontrunner to steal approximately $4.9 million. The data source for this oracle had long been cleared. The attacker created 299 markets and pointed them to this oracle. When price feeds became unavailable, it triggered a "no-price refund" mechanism, which the attacker then exploited to receive approximately 2x payouts, converting the USDC into roughly 1,980 ETH, worth about $4.9 million. The stolen assets currently reside in an Ethereum wallet that has never sent any transactions. Paddy-earthling noted that after the attack, Injective's official account continued posting marketing content without mentioning the chain had been paused.

Odaily Planet Daily News Christine D. Kim stated on the X platform that Bitcoin Core v32 completed its feature freeze on August 20, with developers now focusing solely on bug fixes and optimizations. The v32 release includes three major features: parallel block validation, which leverages multi-core CPUs to accelerate verification by 3x; global transaction rate limiting, which introduces a new global queue to enhance node stability during transaction surges and prevent low-performance nodes from becoming overloaded; and mempool-based dynamic fee estimation, which incorporates real-time mempool data to avoid overestimating fees during periods of high congestion. Bitcoin Core v32 is expected to be officially released in October. This upgrade does not introduce any network-wide protocol changes, but it will provide performance optimizations for node operators.
