The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.

(Photo credit: WAKIL KOHSAR/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images On October 30, 2025, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, Richard Bennett, in his report to the U.N. General Assembly, warned against normalizing Taliban de facto authorities. As he emphasized, “The severity of the situation cannot be overstated. Dismantling the Taliban’s institutionalized system of gender persecution, and addressing the country’s myriad human rights crises, demands urgent, principled and sustained international attention and action – not normalization of the de facto authorities.” The warning comes only a few months after Russia recognized the Taliban, and a few other countries are also exploring this option. The new report comments on the deteriorating human rights situation in Afghanistan, caused mainly by the Taliban’s discriminatory and repressive policies and practices. It reports on the issue of an increasingly entrenched, institutionalized system of gender-based discrimination, oppression and domination of women and girls in the country. As the Special Rapporteur noted, all the wide-ranging restrictions imposed on women and girls remain in effect. It further adds that in recent months, the Taliban has intensified the implementation of the 2024 Law on the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. Among others, in July 2025, the de facto authorities in Kabul arrested dozens of women and girls deemed to be wearing “improper” hijabs. The Taliban engage the general public in the implementation of the laws, with instructions being issued to “shopkeepers, drivers and others not to allow access or provide services to women without a mahram. In some instances, women deemed to be violating Taliban-imposed dress codes were prevented from gaining…
