Are there still possible scenarios for transaction replays from Bitcoin Cash or vice versa?

I have three questions with regard to replay protection.

Q1 => Some non-standard scripts (like x + 2 = 5) do not require signatures (so naturally no SIGHASH_FORKID) to spend the UTXOs. Are these UTXOs and transactions still prone to replays?

Q2 => I have read the documents from the inception of Bitcoin Cash and realized that the legacy transaction digest algorithm is not being used anymore. From my understanding, the 4-byte sighash type is appened at the rear of the digested transaction input (Both for SigVersion::BASE and SigVersion::WITNESS_V0) and if a unique sighash flag is used, the uint256 SignatureHash result would be completely different. The SignatureHash function in the src/script/interpreter.cpp file of Bitcoin Cash only allows BIP-143 digest algorithm when SIGHASH_FORKID is in use. What if Bitcoin Cash developers only enforced the use of SIGHASH_FORKID and embraced Segwit? Is a unique sighash flag not enough to prevent replays?

Q3 => If a unique sighash flag (SIGHASH_FORKID) is not enough to prevent replays, then is it because of the malleability issue on legacy transactions?

Crypto Exec Warns Tokenization Is Moving Faster Than Expected

According to a post shared on X by Keith Grossman, president of crypto payments firm MoonPay, finance is heading toward an onchain future that could unfold over several years. The view comes as large banks and asset managers begin product tokenization, a move that once seemed extreme but is now being treated as a practical step by major institutions. Regulatory Signals Push Institutions Forward Based on reports cited by Grossman, progress has accelerated because rules are becoming clearer. Legislative efforts, regulatory guidance, bank involvement and accounting standards are starting to line up. That combination reduces uncertainty, which is often what slows large pools of capital. BlackRock has already launched tokenized funds, while Franklin Templeton is running tokenized money market funds on public blockchains. Those actions suggest that tokenization is no longer confined to pilot labs or internal trials. It is being used with real assets and real clients. Bank of Ameri...

Bitcoin Mining Could Be Strengthening The Ruble, Russian Central Bank Says

Image
Bitcoin mining may be providing incremental support to the Russian ruble, Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina said, while cautioning that the effect is difficult to measure because much of the sector still operates in a legal and reporting gray zone. Bitcoin Mining May Support The Ruble Responding to a question at a press conference, Nabiullina said it is “probably difficult to quantify” mining’s influence “because a significant part of mining is still in a gray area.” Still, she added that mining is “indeed one of the additional factors contributing to the strong ruble exchange rate.” As Russian business news portal for RBC reported , her remarks come as Russian officials increasingly frame mining and crypto flows as macro-relevant, not just a niche tech or energy story. Earlier, Maxim Oreshkin, deputy head of the presidential administration, said ruble forecasts have been thrown off by the underestimation of financial flows tied to mining and cryptocurrency. In his view, the s...
