Bitcoin network attack slows block production as developers prepare mitigations

AI Market Summary
Reports of an active attack on the Bitcoin network that is materially slowing block production elevate operational and settlement risk, potentially degrading throughput and fee dynamics in the near term. The parallel misinformation campaign urging node downgrades or insecure clients increases the probability of user error and network fragmentation. While mitigations are being prepared, headline risk and uncertainty around network integrity are likely to weigh on crypto market confidence.
