Cosine: Maliciously stuck inscription transactions are possible with low transaction fees
X platform user @BTW 0205 posted a message stating that there is a malicious behavior: Buyers initiate ultra-low gas transactions to purchase inscriptions, making it impossible to complete the transaction in the short term. After the price rises, the transaction is accelerated, and after the price falls, the transaction is canceled.
In this regard, Cosine issued an article on the X platform stating that due to the PSBT signature mechanism used by the trading platform, the transaction can indeed be maliciously occupied for a certain period of time. RBF can be used to accelerate transaction success, but will not accelerate transaction cancellation (the cancellation is actually the low-fee transaction before the success, but in theory there will eventually be a successful transaction as agreed by the sellers PSBT).

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said on The Scoop podcast that a Bitcoin spot ETF is likely to be approved before 1/10/24. That’s because by this time Ark and 21 Shares’ ETF applications, which were first filed in April, have reached their final deadlines. The SEC has been strategically delaying to avoid giving one company a first-mover advantage.
