Odaily reported that Coldcard has released the latest firmware 5.6.1 (Mk4/Mk5) and 1.5.1Q (Q). This update is based on a three-week security review following the emergency fix on July 31, addressing security risks brought by the previous mnemonic generation attack. Each newly generated mnemonic must now include at least one source of user entropy, including at least 65 irregular keystrokes, 50 physical dice throws, or 128 physical coin flips, combined with fresh entropy provided by STM32 TRNG, SE1, and SE2. The new firmware also adds instant staged PSBT verification before signing, strengthens USB connection and firmware update boundaries, improves Delta Mode isolation mechanisms, fixes active wallet backup issues, enhances random number generator initialization and fault checking, adjusts SIGHASH default settings, and includes multiple security and correctness improvements. Coldcard stated that this update aims to further reduce the risk of device attacks. The official reminder notes that updating the firmware cannot fix existing mnemonics generated by previously affected firmware. If users' mnemonics fall within the scope of this security advisory, they should first update the device, then generate and verify a completely new mnemonic, and migrate funds to the new wallet. Coldcard recommends that all Mk4, Mk5, and Q users update their devices promptly and verify the signature of the downloaded firmware.
Odaily News: Bitcoin's recent upward momentum has strengthened, and it is approaching the formation of a "Golden Cross" technical pattern, which the market views as a long-term bullish signal.
Data shows that Bitcoin's current price has broken above $71,000, accumulating gains of over 12% in the past week. BTC's price is currently slightly above its 200-day simple moving average (SMA), with its 50-day moving average at approximately $63,976 and its 200-day moving average at around $69,005. If the 50-day moving average continues to climb and crosses above the 200-day moving average, a golden cross could form.
The 200-day moving average is commonly used to gauge the market's long-term trend. Sustained trading above this indicator is often viewed as a signal of a shift from a bear market to a bull market, while a break below it may suggest a weakening long-term trend.
Previously, Bitcoin had remained below its 200-day moving average since October 2025, when the price was around $110,000, keeping the market's long-term trend under continuous pressure. Historical data shows that BTC formed golden crosses in February 2023, October 2023, October 2024, and April 2025, each followed by further upward movements.
However, market uncertainty persists. Analysts point out that the current rally could also be merely a technical rebound rather than the start of a new long-term uptrend. If Bitcoin falls back below the 200-day moving average, the bullish thesis underpinning the golden cross may face challenges. (CoinDesk)
