BTC1.38%
According to Farside Investors, 17 Bitcoin BIP-110 signaling blocks were reported on July 9, 2026, triggering automated monitoring alerts. BIP-110 proposes a soft-fork change to Bitcoin's consensus rules that would tighten restrictions on valid blocks and eliminate certain transaction types used for non-monetary purposes such as large data inscriptions. The proposal has become contentious within the technical community, with supporters viewing it as a way to reduce blockchain spam since 2023, while critics warn that activating without overwhelming consensus could increase the risk of a chain split. BIP-110 can activate if 55% of blocks in a two-week period signal support, with potential mandatory activation around block 961,632 expected in August 2026.
