Is This the Indicator That BTC Treasury Companies Have Hit a Bottom?

The bottom of the bitcoin treasury stock bloodbath may finally be in.

Jim Chanos, the famed short seller best known for anticipating Enron’s collapse in 2001, said he closed his position on Strategy (MSTR), marking the end of an 11-month short MSTR/long bitcoin BTC$106.094,06 trade. A short position, which involves selling borrowed shares, is a bet a stock will fall. Closing the position is a sign further declines aren’t likely to be significant.

The unwind coincided with a turbulent year for the bitcoin treasury sector, which saw the biggest names like Metaplanet (3350) and KindlyMD (NAKA) slump more than 80% from their all-time highs.

On Friday, MSTR fell to a 2025 low, down about 20%, as bitcoin rebounded above $105,000, extending its year-to-date gains to roughly 14%. The unwinding of the short MSTR/long bitcoin trade could signal a bottom in for bitcoin treasury companies.

MSTR shares are up 3% pre-market, trading at $248 per share.

Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl

Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl

The post Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave Labs has released its official launch roadmap for V4, laying out the final steps ahead of the major upgrade’s Q4 mainnet launch.  Alongside new architectural and security improvements, the roadmap introduces a fundamental shift in how user balances are tracked and highlights a strategic pullback from economically underperforming deployments across layer-2 and alternative layer-1 networks. The V4 release moves away from aTokens’ rebasing-style mechanics toward ERC-4626-style share accounting, a change that promises cleaner integrations, easier tax treatment, and better compatibility with downstream DeFi infrastructure.  In a recent technical development update, Aave Labs confirmed that “tokenization is to remain optional and built using ERC 4626 vaults,” and that internal accounting will eliminate the use of exchange rates or scaled balances. The goal is to “further improve the overall reliability of the protocol.” ERC-4626 is a widely adopted Ethereum standard that expresses user deposits as shares of a vault rather than balances that grow over time. In Aave V3, aTokens accrue interest by increasing a user’s balance directly — behavior that resembles rebasing tokens and often confuses integrations and portfolio accounting tools.  By contrast, ERC-4626 tracks yield through a rising price-per-share metric, leaving token balances unchanged. The result is more predictable behavior for integrators, auditors and tax software, as well as a clearer cost basis for users. The roadmap also outlines a series of release milestones, including a formal codebase publication, a public testnet launch with a redesigned interface, and the completion of a multi-layered security review involving formal verification and manual audits. Aave Labs said the roadmap reflects the protocol’s “final stages of review, testing, and deployment,” and that additional documentation and launch preparation materials will be released in the coming weeks. But the most pointed strategic shift comes not from the codebase, but from Aave’s own governance forums. “Aave…
