On September 10, Ethereum’s Beacon Chain slashed 40 validators for publishing conflicting attestations, with initial reports implicating StakeFi, Allnodes, and SSV Network. Further investigation revealed most were tied to Ankr, with individual penalties around $1,300 per validator. Ethereum core developer Preston Vanloon explained that such errors typically occur when validator keys are run across multiple environments, causing nodes to see different chain views and double-sign. Slashed validators must continue duties until exited or face additional liveness penalties. While mass slashing is rare—only 15 cases this year—past incidents like Bitcoin Suisse’s $200,000 loss in 2023 highlight the financial risks of operational mistakes in Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system.

Swiss National Bank Chairman Martin Schlegel has dismissed proposals to include Bitcoin in the bank’s reserves, emphasizing the need for highly liquid assets to support monetary policy. Despite arguments from crypto advocates like Luzius Meisser, who highlight Bitcoin’s inflation-resistant properties, the SNB remains opposed due to volatility and security risks. A grassroots Bitcoin Initiative seeks to force a referendum on the matter, but the SNB maintains its stance, reflecting a broader global divide on cryptocurrency adoption in national reserves.

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has reaffirmed its stance against holding Bitcoin in its foreign currency reserves, citing volatility, liquidity concerns, and security risks. A citizen-led initiative, backed by the nonprofit 2B4CH, seeks to amend the Swiss Constitution to mandate Bitcoin holdings by the SNB, requiring at least 100,000 signatures to trigger a referendum. Proponents argue that diversifying reserves with Bitcoin would hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks, while the SNB explores CBDCs instead. Switzerland’s crypto-friendly reputation contrasts with the central bank’s cautious approach, as public interest in digital assets grows.

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has rejected proposals to add Bitcoin to its reserves, with Chairman Martin Schlegel stating that cryptocurrency does not meet the necessary requirements for reserve assets. This decision comes amid growing advocacy from the Swiss crypto sector, including Bitcoin Suisse board member Luzius Meisser, who argues that Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against weakening traditional currencies like the dollar and euro. A constitutional initiative, requiring 100,000 signatures, seeks to mandate the SNB to hold Bitcoin alongside gold reserves, backed by organizations like 2B4CH. Switzerland’s ‘Crypto Valley’ continues to thrive, reinforcing the country’s role as a blockchain hub.

A Swiss crypto advocacy group is pushing for a constitutional referendum to require the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to allocate 1-2% of its nearly $1 trillion reserves to Bitcoin, arguing it would hedge against monetary debasement and geopolitical risks. The campaign, led by figures like Luzius Meisser of Bitcoin Suisse, highlights Bitcoin’s deflationary design and Switzerland’s role as a crypto hub. However, the SNB remains skeptical, citing Bitcoin’s volatility and technical vulnerabilities. If successful, the initiative would mark the first global mandate for central bank Bitcoin holdings via constitutional reform. The proposal requires 100,000 signatures to advance to a national vote.
