Odaily News: The UK government will give the Bank of England a new mandate to drive innovation in digital currencies and payments. This objective is a secondary one and does not affect the Bank of England's primary mission of maintaining financial stability. UK City Minister Lucy Rigby stated that tokenization and distributed ledger technology have the potential to transform global financial markets. This secondary objective will support the Bank of England in continuing to drive payment and digital finance innovation, ensuring the UK maintains its leading position as a global financial services hub. Previously, the UK and the US had established a joint working group to promote stablecoin adoption. In June, the Bank of England removed its previous proposal to cap the amount of stablecoins individuals and businesses could hold, and Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden welcomed the new mandate.

Coinkite's hardware wallet Coldcard has been exposed for a serious entropy vulnerability, which has gone undetected since 2021, resulting in over $100 million in Bitcoin being stolen, with victims mostly being users of single mnemonic wallets. The weak entropy allowed attackers to guess private keys through customized means, prompting the Bitcoin community to reassess the reliability of single-signature self-custody.Against this backdrop, multi-vendor multisig solutions are becoming the new custody baseline recommended by long-term holders. This solution requires users to construct multisig addresses using keys from different wallet vendors, such as Trezor Safe 7, Ledger Nano, and Casa recovery keys to form a 2-of-3 multisig, thereby reducing reliance on a single hardware vendor. Multisig can also defend against wrench attacks and has given rise to Bitcoin insurance services priced in BTC, such as AnchorWatch.However, multisig also has its drawbacks; users not only need to keep threshold keys but also need to save copies of the multisig script or template to independently recover funds when the wallet service is offline.

Aave began opening its iOS mobile application to early users on Wednesday, pushing its consumer savings product into early access, while Android and Web users still need to wait on the waiting list. Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the Ghost Pass allows users to invite friends to skip the waiting list.The app is positioned as a savings application, supporting bank account and stablecoin deposits, allowing users to connect bank accounts and debit cards, with stablecoin wallets supporting deposits and withdrawals on Arbitrum. Funds deposited generate returns through the public lending market, with assets supplied to the lending pool, and the interest paid by borrowers flowing to depositors. Aave Labs stated in July that there were about 50,000 registered users on the iOS waiting list.Aave describes the app as self-custodial, although it has login and recovery features similar to fintech applications.

This release is part of Aave's initiative to expand retail distribution following the acquisition of Stable Finance in October 2025, with Stable Vaults now providing a savings layer for the Aave app and open to fintech companies seeking embedded stablecoin yields.
