The team behind the popular Selene Wallet has launched a new fundraiser seeking 424 BCH to fund development through 2025. The self-custodial BCH wallet, which saw 1,000 monthly active users in 2024 with minimal marketing, plans to add CashConnect/WalletConnect integration, Dark Mode, CashFusion support, and a secret unannounced project. Having already delivered CashTokens and web wallet support in 2024, the team aims to make Selene the most user-friendly onboarding tool for Bitcoin Cash while exploring future monetization through microdonations and NFT sales.

Saqib Noor will present The Journal of Global Surgery (JoGS) at the BCH Bliss conference, highlighting its innovative community-funded model for equitable scientific publishing. The open-access journal just released a new study on laparoscopic training in Africa and the US, peer-reviewed by scholars in Kenya and Tanzania who received BCH stipends. For just $76 in crowd-funded contributions (accepting micro-payments as small as $0.10), JoGS makes research freely available worldwide while fairly compensating reviewers. The project demonstrates how BCH can free academic publishing by removing traditional paywalls and geographic barriers. https://jogs.one/JoGS_1209/ CASHONIZE WALLET V0.3.8 RELEASED WITH KEY UPGRADES BEFORE BCH BLISS
Mathieu Geukens’ Cashonize Wallet has launched its final pre-Bliss update (v0.3.8), introducing QR scan functionality for CashTokens and improved transaction dialog interfaces. The release also enhances WalletConnect stability by properly notifying dApps of failed transactions, while cleaning up dependencies and refining code architecture. Available for Windows, Linux, and Android, this follows v0.3.7’s WalletConnect improvements and optional Cauldron Swap integration. https://cashonize.com https://github.com/cashonize/cashonize-wallet/releases/tag/v0.3.8 BITCOIN CASH PODCAST DIPS TOES (AND HIPS) INTO BACHATA

The platform remains a pioneer in UTXO-based DeFi, offering non-custodial leveraged trading (up to 7.77x) and hedging directly on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain through the AnyHedge protocol. Traders can speculate on multiple assets including BTC, ETH, gold, silver, and major fiat currencies (USD, EUR, CNY, INR) with contract durations from 2 hours to 90 days. As one of the few fully on-chain, permissionless trading dApps operating on a Layer 1 UTXO chain, BCH Bull continues pushing boundaries in decentralized finance while maintaining zero counterparty risk — all contracts are created peer-to-peer without funds being held by intermediaries. https://bchbull.com/blog/ https://generalprotocols.com/anyhedge **THE MARKET THIS WEEK**

This weekly roundup was incredibly refreshing and packed with solid updates—thank you for continuing to put these together! The Bitcoin Cash ecosystem often flies under the radar, so having such a clear and well-organized snapshot every week is invaluable for those of us who care about real-world utility and grassroots progress. The Bitcoin Cash University initiative by Satoshi Nakamario really stood out to me. Onboarding devs through UTXO-based smart contracts is a brilliant move—especially since so many builders tend to gravitate toward Ethereum-like platforms due to ease and familiarity. Providing structured, accessible education like this can become a catalyst for long-term ecosystem growth. Selene Wallet's ambitious roadmap is also impressive. Integrating WalletConnect and rolling out privacy-preserving features like CashFusion shows they truly understand what crypto users want in 2025. It’s rare to see a wallet project so actively tuned into community feedback and long-term vision. And honestly, the Journal of Global Surgery project gave me chills. BCH helping decentralize and democratize access to medical research is the kind of use case that transcends speculation—this is the stuff that changes lives. Saqib Noor deserves serious applause for this endeavor. Thanks again for the detailed writeup—it’s posts like these that remind me why I stay excited about BCH, even in the quieter cycles.
