Bitcoin's BIP-110 proposal, aimed at limiting non-financial data on the blockchain, triggered a split at block 961,632 with only 2.53% miner support, creating a minority chain that risks stagnation. A fallback proof-of-work change is prepared but not activated, highlighting tensions in Bitcoin's governance without broad miner consensus.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a Bitcoin network fracture that may stall or fragment the market unless miner support shifts rapidly. This is your prompt to engage users or clients on chain choice and transaction reliability before uncertainty deepens.
