Police say at least two cases were reported as early as Sept. 10, nearly a month before the wider incident became public.

Traders are pricing in a 78% chance of a December rate hike, while analysts say Treasury yields, the US dollar and upcoming inflation data could determine Bitcoin’s next move.
TLDR
There are some concerning reports coming out from South Korea. Bithumb is looking into the extent of a data leak that followed a hack of its internal mobile system earlier this week, according to Yonhap News Agency.
This is the platform employees use to communicate and share information at work. Bithumb found the breach on Tuesday and informed both the Korea Internet & Security Agency and the Personal Information Protection Commission on the same day.
Member Data Still in QuestionWhat hasn’t been confirmed yet is whether customer information was actually exposed. Bithumb told Yonhap that it is analyzing the exact scope, including the possibility that member data was involved, and promised an official announcement on Wednesday morning.
The exchange also tried to calm down its users. It stressed that the internal work system is separated from the virtual asset trading system. In its words, that means customer crypto holdings cannot be reached through this breach. This distinction is important, but users still want to see the full findings before drawing firm conclusions.
A Wave of Attacks in South KoreaBithumb is far from alone. This incident adds to a growing run of cyberattacks across the country’s financial industry. Financial Supervisory Authority Governor Lee Chan-jin said at a Wednesday meeting that 16 South Korean financial firms had been hit as of Oct. 14.
Other recent victims include Daishin Securities and Mirae Asset Global Investments, according to The Korea Times. Daishin said personal and credit information belonging to 38,490 customers had leaked. Mirae Asset said it blocked abnormal external access to some web systems and is investigating, adding that investor information was not affected.
However, these patterns of attacks are starting to worry the entire industry. When attackers hit the human side of the company, such its communication tools, the trust is what takes the hit.
TLDR
Bitcoin pushed higher on Wednesday, reaching $81,687 on Bitstamp, according to TradingView data. The move extended an intraday rebound, and the pair avoided printing new lower lows on the hourly chart.
CoinGlass data shows bid liquidity building around $79,000 and $80,000 which can suggest that buyers are stepping in to defend the psychological $80,000 level after repeated dips below it. Still, resistance near $82,000 has held firm for now.
Tech Stocks Fuel the ReliefI think the broader market deserves credit for this bounce. Nerves over AI spending and debt financing eased, and crypto strengthened gradually alongside equities.
South Korea’s KOSPI Composite Index closed 6.6% higher, returning above 6,000 points for the first time since Oct. 14. That puts its week-to-date gain at 9.3%. In the US, the Nasdaq Composite closed up 1.1% on Tuesday ahead of earnings from Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Intel, with Samsung due to report on Thursday.
Morgan Stanley Says the Worst Is OverMorgan Stanley chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson told CNBC he sees tech entering a new bullish phase. He argued the market has been correcting for four or five months and has digested the pullback efficiently.
His view is somewhat encouraging for risk assets in general, though it is only one strategist’s opinion. On the macro front, the markets are expecting the Fed to hold rates at its Wednesday meeting. CME Group’s FedWatch tool shows 90.6% odds of rates staying in the 3.75-4% range.
However, not everyone is convinced the rebound will last. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital drew fresh comparisons to the 2022 bear market after Bitcoin’s repeated dips under $80,000.
He pointed out that the weekly chart looks like 2022’s structure, and it remains unclear whether BTC can build a new range above the $82,000 resistance. He also said the pair has not yet discarded its macro accumulation range between $60,000 and $80,000 but $82,000 is a level that matters. A clean break could confirm the bulls’ case, while a rejection would keep the cautious 2022 comparison very much alive.
TL;DR: CF Benchmarks has launched CFB Oracle, delivering cryptographically signed index information to applications on Ethereum mainnet, HyperEVM and Robinhood Chain. The official source also identifies specific limits or future steps, so implementation and market impact should not be assumed.
CF Benchmarks has launched CFB Oracle, delivering cryptographically signed index information to applications on Ethereum mainnet, HyperEVM and Robinhood Chain. For digital-asset markets, the important issue is less the announcement in isolation than the channel through which it could affect users, capital or network activity. The latest development deserves attention, but its relevance depends on the facts published by the organisation behind it and the work still required to make it matter.
The FCA-authorised benchmark administrator announced the service on October 27 under parent company Payward, which operates Kraken. Index coverage includes crypto, equities, fixed income, commodities, foreign exchange and staking or interest-rate benchmarks, with public methodology documents for each index.
CF Benchmarks says its signed messages allow onchain applications to verify the origin and integrity of a reference price, while every client receives the same index publication frequency. The oracle is designated as a planned reference-price provider for Payward’s proposed US onchain perpetual futures product, although that derivative service remains subject to approval.
An oracle sits between offchain economic activity and a smart contract that must react to a number. If the data feed is late or wrong, a collateral rule or liquidation can fail even when the blockchain is working correctly. Signed reference values and clear calculation methodologies are therefore infrastructure decisions, not just marketing features. Real adoption will be judged on availability, integration and safeguards against bad input.
Blockchain infrastructure does not improve in a vacuum. Engineers must consider existing applications, node operators, client compatibility and how errors behave under stressed conditions. A change that appears straightforward at the protocol level can create a demanding coordination problem. That distinction matters to investors trying to separate a plausible structural change from a headline that may not immediately move price or onchain activity.
An authorised benchmark administrator does not guarantee perfect prices during disrupted markets. The proposed derivatives product is not yet approved, and the announcement does not show that every potential DeFi application has adopted the new feed.
Performance claims also require careful definitions. Throughput, finality, responsiveness, cost and fault tolerance are different measurements. Improving one does not automatically improve all of them, especially when a wallet, exchange or application adds its own confirmations.
CF Benchmarks launches CFB Oracle sits within a wider shift toward onchain price oracles. This area has a recurring challenge: the benefits are easiest to describe before the operational details are complete. Different stakeholders measure success differently. A user wants clarity and predictable access; an operator wants reliable controls and manageable costs; an institution wants accountability if something fails. Those perspectives can be in tension, and the source announcement should be read with that in mind.
The distinction also shapes how to read future updates. A new partnership, proposal or software version is a verifiable milestone. Adoption, consistent performance and financial effects require additional evidence. That is why follow-up reporting should distinguish released features, planned features and measured use rather than combining them into one claim.
Watch for live integrations, oracle uptime, support on further networks, and how applications handle stale feeds or market disruptions.
The operational test comes after the proposal or release note: can different client teams implement it, can developers upgrade safely and can users rely on it when activity spikes? That is the difference between an attractive design and durable infrastructure. The next evidence should come from official implementation updates and measurable outcomes, not from assuming that a news release guarantees adoption or a token-price response.

TL;DR: Janus Henderson and Centrifuge have launched JQQQ, an issuer-sponsored blockchain-native fund seeking exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Index through the Stellar network. The official source also identifies specific limits or future steps, so implementation and market impact should not be assumed.
Janus Henderson and Centrifuge have launched JQQQ, an issuer-sponsored blockchain-native fund seeking exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Index through the Stellar network. For digital-asset markets, the important issue is less the announcement in isolation than the channel through which it could affect users, capital or network activity. The latest development deserves attention, but its relevance depends on the facts published by the organisation behind it and the work still required to make it matter.
The October 27 announcement says Janus Henderson manages the strategy and Centrifuge provides the infrastructure for public-blockchain issuance and fund operations. The Nasdaq-100 index is licensed from Nasdaq, making this a fund strategy sponsored by its issuer rather than an unrelated synthetic token claiming a stock-market link.
JQQQ is structured as a British Virgin Islands segregated portfolio with Anemoy Asset Management as investment manager and Janus Henderson Investors US as sub-investment manager. The issuer says JQQQ is available only to eligible investors where lawful and is not available to US persons; the holdings do not grant shareholders direct rights in the underlying Nasdaq-100 securities.
Offering familiar benchmark exposure through a digital share register tests whether asset managers can use blockchain systems to serve qualified investors while preserving portfolio management, transfer rules and disclosures. The public-chain element may allow new distribution and collateral arrangements, but those possibilities depend on third parties and law. It is important to distinguish exposure to an index from ownership of the index constituents.
For financial institutions, a technical link is only the beginning. They must also settle liability, account for funds, control access and recover from a failed transfer. That is why announced partnerships are best judged by operating detail rather than by the number of logos appearing in a release. That distinction matters to investors trying to separate a plausible structural change from a headline that may not immediately move price or onchain activity.
Tokenization does not remove investment risk, and future lending or collateral uses are not services automatically provided by Janus Henderson. The fund can deviate from the reference index and may not trade as freely as an exchange-listed ETF.
Consider the difference between holding a token and using it in an everyday business process. Treasury teams and trading desks need reconciliation, internal approvals, liquidity at the point of conversion and an auditable record. Projects that solve those edges may have more practical impact than projects that simply shorten onchain confirmation times.
Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launch JQQQ sits within a wider shift toward tokenized index funds. This area has a recurring challenge: the benefits are easiest to describe before the operational details are complete. Different stakeholders measure success differently. A user wants clarity and predictable access; an operator wants reliable controls and manageable costs; an institution wants accountability if something fails. Those perspectives can be in tension, and the source announcement should be read with that in mind.
The distinction also shapes how to read future updates. A new partnership, proposal or software version is a verifiable milestone. Adoption, consistent performance and financial effects require additional evidence. That is why follow-up reporting should distinguish released features, planned features and measured use rather than combining them into one claim.
Look for actual subscriptions, approved distribution channels, custody arrangements and whether onchain investors can redeem reliably through market stress.
Adoption is rarely a single launch moment. It typically moves from a commercial agreement to limited implementation, onboarding, real transaction volume and eventually routine usage. Keeping those stages separate matters when evaluating institutional blockchain announcements. The next evidence should come from official implementation updates and measurable outcomes, not from assuming that a news release guarantees adoption or a token-price response.

Bitcoin treasury company Datavault AI has disclosed that it has been unable to withdraw BTC held by crypto exchange Biconomy since requesting a transfer in June.
The revelation saw the company’s shares fall nearly 50% in the latest trading session.
According to a Form 8-K that Datavault filed on October 26 with the SEC, it received $150 million in Bitcoin from Scilex on September 25, 2025, as payment for an equity purchase agreement, with each unit valued at about $112,915 at the time, bringing the total number of BTC used in the transaction to around 1,328.
However, the actual number sent to Datavault’s Biconomy account was 1,309.04 BTC, after 19.39 BTC was subtracted to account for cash advances Scilex had made to the company. It then transferred 491.431 BTC back to Scilex in September 2025 and January 2026 in exchange for about $40.5 million in cash, with the remaining cryptocurrency kept in the digital wallet maintained at Biconomy.
Interestingly, Datavault says all the transactions were made off-chain, meaning that the assets were recorded on the exchange’s books, not on the Bitcoin network. It later requested a withdrawal of the Bitcoin to an external account in June but had not completed it by the time of the 8-K filing, with no reason given for the delay.
“Subsequent to the issuance of the Affected Financial Statements and following a review of the transaction, the Company determined that the Bitcoin associated with the Scilex Equity Purchase did not meet the requirements for recognition as a digital asset of the Company,” the filing further noted.
As a result, Datavault management is reassessing whether it can stay in business, given that BTC had counted as a source of cash and the company is not sure it can collect from Scilex.
Reaction in the market to the disclosure was brutal, with Google Finance data showing the firm’s DVLT shares closing at $0.067 on October 28, down 49.55%, after trading as low as $0.060 during the session. At the time of writing, its market cap stood at approximately $65 million, with the stock moving up to $0.071 in after-hours activity.
As CryptoPotato reported previously, Smarter Web Company CEO Andrew Webley had warned that treasury companies can expose shareholders to Bitcoin’s volatility and often depend on managers whose financing choices could hurt them. The immediate question facing Datavault is whether and when it can access the BTC held with its custodian.

At the start of the business week, the second-largest cryptocurrency briefly fell below $2,300, but buyers stepped in over the past 24 hours, and the asset is now trading around $2,350.
While many analysts remain bullish on ETH’s prospects, persistent selling from wallets linked to the Ethereum Foundation could hinder the asset’s progress and weigh on investor sentiment.
X user Ella noted that the cryptocurrency finally moved out of the $2,300-$2,320 range and claimed the four-hour chart has started printing higher lows, calling it “a good first step.” The analyst said the key level now is $2,400, and reclaiming it could lead to a pump toward $2,440.
For his part, Michael van de Poppe argued that the rebound from around $2,300 is “a strong move,” but a bullish breakout is not yet confirmed.
“Much rather than thinking that we’re going to see another drop, the markets are at the most optimal sweet spot to hold and turn back upwards,” he added.
Ted and MikybullCrypto also weighed in. The former said ETH is currently at a crucial resistance level, and reclaiming $2,400 would be the first major sign of strength. The latter was much more bullish, telling their over 92,000 followers on X:
“See you at $3,600 in the short term.”
A major obstacle to Ethereum’s decisive recovery is ongoing selling pressure from investors offloading coins. As CryptoPotato recently reported, a wallet linked to the Ethereum Foundation (a non-profit organization that supports the development and growth of the Ethereum ecosystem) parted with 2,785 units for around $6.42 million.
Another investor mimicked the move shortly after, dumping 1,500 ETH (worth roughly $3.5 million) after nine years of inactivity. The market participant initially purchased 100,000 coins for only $31,000 through the 2015 ICO and still holds 48,500 ETH (about $112 million).
Just a few hours ago, Lookonchain disclosed that an additional investor linked to the Ethereum Foundation sold 7,594 ETH (around $17.8 million) after a year of inactivity.
“This OG bought 200K ETH (cost $61K) during the ICO at $0.31 and also received 42,654 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation when ETH was trading at $13.82,” the analytics platform revealed.
BitMEX’s co-founder Arthur Hayes added to the selling pressure. Earlier this month, he dumped about $22.28 million worth of altcoins, including 6,400 ETH (roughly $15.2 million).

Elon Musk’s Grok AI predicts that something potentially significant could be brewing for Somnia crypto by January 1, 2027. SOMI has exploded over +100% since September and is one of the hottest projects on the market right now. Grok believes one major catalyst could catapult it even further in Q4.
The core idea is that a consortium of major gaming studios, social platforms, and AI infrastructure companies could choose Somnia as the preferred high-performance Layer-1 solution for real-time, mass-consumer applications.
In this scenario, large-scale on-chain games, social experiences, and autonomous AI agent networks would primarily operate on Somnia. This would lead to an explosive increase in transaction volume and position SOMI as critical infrastructure for the next generation of interactive digital experiences.

(SOURCE: Grok AI Predicts SOMI Crypto to Breakout in Q4)
On the higher timeframes, SOMI has been consolidating in the $0.175–$0.185 region after a broader pullback from higher levels earlier in its trading history. Price continues to hold above recent lows while facing resistance around the $0.20–$0.25 zone.
In a standard bull market, a sustained breakout above $0.30–$0.40 would confirm intermediate strength and open the path toward higher recovery targets and a longer-term move toward prior peaks near $1.80.

(SOURCE: TradingView)
Under the extreme mass-consumer gaming, social, and AI-agent adoption scenario outlined above, clearing significant resistance levels would likely trigger powerful measured-move extensions and multi-cycle Fibonacci projections from the longer-term base.
Momentum indicators are currently neutral, with substantial room to run into the extreme overbought readings typical of high-beta Layer-1 advances.
Key nearer-term supports sit near $0.17–$0.175 and $0.15–$0.16; holding those levels would keep the broader structure intact.

Several external developments could strengthen this optimistic scenario. Globally, a lasting resolution to significant geopolitical conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war or a sustainable ceasefire involving Iran and the normalization of the Strait of Hormuz, could lower risk premiums and encourage capital to flow back into growth and technology assets.
Economically, a clear shift by major central banks toward more accommodative monetary policies, combined with elevated liquidity conditions, would support risk-taking across markets.
In crypto, continued growth in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF inflows, broader institutional and retail adoption of high-performance Layer-1 networks, increased interest in on-chain gaming and AI-driven projects, and sustained appetite for altcoins would create a favorable liquidity environment that particularly benefits specialized real-time chains like Somnia.
Under this speculative scenario, and assuming that a full-blown crypto bull market returns alongside supportive external conditions, Somnia (SOMI) could potentially reach between $8 and $15, with an ambitious target of $25 or more by January 1, 2027.
However, this remains purely speculative and should be viewed as entertainment rather than a realistic base-case outlook. Achieving this would require extraordinary coordination among major gaming, social, and AI companies, which is currently quite unlikely.

Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings moved another 1,000 BTC, worth about $81 million, to the custodian BitGo early on Wednesday, October 28, its second such transfer in two days, on-chain tracker Lookonchain spotted. The company sold 23,093 BTC in the first half of the year to cut debt, so traders watching BTC USD near $81,500 read every move as a possible sale.
Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings (@MARA) transferred another 1,000 $BTC ($80.66M) to BitGo 9 hours ago.https://t.co/tv5jDUw7r1 pic.twitter.com/vAd55oPNWx
— Lookonchain (@lookonchain) October 28, 2026
So far the price hasn’t flinched. BTC is up 2% in 24 hours. But the blockchain shows the first of the two BitGo lots has already been split up and sent on.
MARA sent two lots of exactly 1,000 BTC, and one of them has already moved on. A check of both transactions on mempool.space shows:
Both lots had sat untouched since October 7 and 8, 2025, when Bitcoin traded above $121,000. At today’s price, they are worth about a third less.
At 07:13 UTC on Wednesday, the BitGo address split the first lot into 16 pieces of 21.5 to 108.5 BTC, each sent to a new address. That is a common pattern when coins are being delivered to several buyers, but none of the receiving addresses is labeled. The blockchain alone doesn’t prove a sale.
The second lot is still at the BitGo address. MARA’s filings say it sells the bitcoin it mines on an ongoing basis and may sell more of its holdings from time to time.
DISCOVER: 15+ Best Crypto IPO to Watch in 2026

About 3,996 BTC, worth roughly $326 million at today’s price. Before the two BitGo lots, Lookonchain had flagged 996 BTC sent to Galaxy Digital on October 8 and 1,000 BTC sent to Binance and Gate between October 14 and 19.
That is about 11% of the 35,577 BTC MARA reported at the end of June, and about five times what it mines in a month. MARA mined 2,422 BTC in the second quarter, or about 807 a month, and sold 2,213.
The bigger picture is a company shrinking its stack. MARA’s second-quarter 10-Q shows the 35,577 BTC it held on June 30, against 53,822 BTC at the end of 2025, after it sold about 23,093 BTC for $1.63 billion in the first half, mostly to buy back convertible notes. Of what was left, 4,528 BTC was pledged as collateral and 4,742 BTC was lent out. MARA is also buying a 505-megawatt gas plant in Ohio and weighing whether to move up to 90% of its own mining capacity to AI computing.
MARA hasn’t yet announced a date for its third-quarter results. Last year it reported on November 4, and that letter is where any October sales would first show up.
EXPLORE: Retail Bitcoin Holders Are Sending Coins to Binance at a Six-Month High While Whales Pull Back: Who Is Right About $80,000?
It is testing it now. BTC USD trades at $81,577 on Binance, above its 4-hour 50 EMA at $81,110 and just under the 4-hour 200 EMA at $81,705, after touching $81,823 this morning.

| Path | What has to happen | Next stop |
|---|---|---|
| Push higher | A 4-hour close above $81,705, the 200 EMA | $84,898, the October 21 high |
| Stall | Holding between $79,221 and $81,705 | More sideways trade around the 50 EMA at $81,110 |
| Slip | A daily close below $79,221 | $76,443, the daily 200-day EMA |
About $326 million in a month is a lot for one miner, but small next to the $23.9 billion that traded in the last 24 hours. The address to watch is BitGo’s: if the second lot gets split up the same way, the pattern will be hard to read as anything but selling.

Caroline Crenshaw’s departure from the SEC on January 2 marks a turning point for crypto regulation in Washington. The longtime cryptocurrency skeptic’s exit leaves the commission operating under a 3-0 Republican majority—a historic shift that clears the way for Paul Atkins’ pro-innovation agenda to move forward without meaningful internal opposition.
Crenshaw spent over a decade at SEC agency, consistently raising concerns about cryptocurrencies, digital assets and investor protection.
Her exit coincides with the broader regulatory reorganization under the Trump administration, which has explicitly positioned itself to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”
The commission now operates with fewer members than authorized, as Trump hasn’t yet filled the vacant seats—a strategic pause that effectively gives the Republican-majority commissioners free rein on policy.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has already signaled plans to introduce an “innovation exemption” that would let crypto startups test new products under lighter regulatory requirements, provided they meet basic consumer protections. [3][7] That proposal was expected within 30 days of December 2, meaning it could arrive any moment. With Crenshaw gone, there’s no institutional voice pushing back on the exemption’s scope or implementation details.
The broader regulatory picture is also shifting. The Senate is scheduled to hold hearings in January on the CLARITY Act—landmark legislation designed to end years of turf warfare between the SEC and CFTC by clearly dividing jurisdiction over different crypto products. [3][7] White House crypto adviser David Sacks said in December the bill is “closer to passage than at any point in the past.” [3] These aren’t minor procedural tweaks. They represent a fundamental reordering of how Washington approaches digital assets.
The real action starts immediately. Watch for the innovation exemption announcement—it could drop with minimal fanfare. Then track the Senate hearings on CLARITY in January. If that bill moves to a floor vote and passes, the crypto industry will have concrete answers about regulatory jurisdiction for the first time in years. Markets have been pricing in regulatory clarity for months. Crenshaw’s departure removes one of the last obstacles to delivering on it.

PEPE just ripped 26% higher on January 2, hitting $0.000005106 as trading volume exploded past $800 million.
That’s no thin pump—retail’s back, Robinhood holders sitting on 8.3% of supply, and a Hyperliquid whale named James Wynn dropped a bombshell prediction: $69 billion market cap by end-2026. If you’re trading memes, this is your wake-up call. Why now? New year FOMO meets bold calls in a market where BTC chills at $88k.

PEPE’s ERC-20 on Ethereum. No fancy DeFi twist here—just pure meme liquidity. Volume spiked 370-400% in 24 hours, open interest jumped 82% to $446.5 million on derivatives. RSI hit 67, screaming bullish momentum after breaking $0.0000042 resistance.
Whales aren’t dumping. That official “We ride at dawn” tweet lit socials on fire—crypto Twitter’s buzzing. Supply’s fixed at 420.69 trillion tokens. If Wynn’s right, that’s $0.000164 per PEPE. Math checks out. But Ethereum gas? Still a killer for small trades.
Total crypto cap up 1.07% to $2.99T. BTC +1.21% at $88,765, dominance slipping to 59.22%—alts eating its lunch. PEPE led top gainers, outpacing Story (+25%) and Mog. Volumes hit $164B market-wide. No massive liqs reported, but meme sector OI surging means leveraged degens are in.
BTC’s post-halving year ended red for first time ever—down 6% in 2025 despite $126k ATH. ETFs pulled $348M, but macro liquidity rules now. PEPE doesn’t care—it’s riding retail hype while big boys consolidate.
James Wynn, that Hyperliquid ser, straight-up said PEPE hits top meme status like SHIB did last cycle—if bull market holds. “We ride at dawn” from @pepe went viral. Community’s pumping: “PEPE to the moon” threads everywhere. No official team—it’s anon dev vibes.
Exchanges? Volumes exploding on Binance, MEXC. No rugs spotted. Traders on X calling for $0.000026 ATH retest. Sarcasm alert: Great timing for memes while BTC whales accumulate quietly. Holders care about flips, not halving myths.
But is this sustainable? Meme pumps fade fast.

Your day-ahead look for Oct. 28, 2026
VanEck is pushing crypto further into the mainstream with a recent product release. On 27 October, the firm announced WBMO, the VanEck Wealth Builder ETF. It’s what the asset manager calls an all-in-one fund, offering exposure to stocks, bonds, real assets and up to 5% in digital assets.
Rather than holding stocks, bonds or Bitcoin directly, WBMO invests in other ETFs, with VanEck managing the allocations and rebalancing the portfolio.
WBMO comes with a net annual expense ratio of 0.26%, down from 0.33% after fee waivers, and can be traded by retail investors on the NYSE Arca.
The fund builds on VanEck’s existing Wealth Builder investment portfolios, bringing the strategy into a single ETF that investors can buy through a brokerage account.
As this is a brand-new fund, its 37 holdings had a total net asset value of just US$251,640 (AU$357,857) as of 26 October. The only crypto holding is a 1.89% holding in the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL).

The largest holdings are the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM) with 17.54% and the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM) with 11.65%.
Two of the bond ETFs are the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) with a 9.67% share and the iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) with a 4.82% share.
Among the many smaller holdings are specific bets on semiconductors and emerging markets, as well as a 3.63% exposure to gold via the VanEck Merk Gold ETF (OUNZ).
The target for Bitcoin within WBMO is 2%, while the permitted range is between 1% and 5%.

David Schassler, VanEck’s portfolio manager and head of multi-asset solutions, said investing in assets beyond stocks and bonds could help investors navigate a changing economic landscape.
The traditional 60/40 portfolio was built for a different investment landscape.
David Schassler, VanEck’s portfolio manager and head of multi-asset solutions The classic 60/40 portfolio splits investments between 60% stocks and 40% bonds, aiming to balance growth with stability and income.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has also questioned the role of bonds in investment portfolios, particularly during periods of high inflation. In a 2021 essay, Hayes argued that rising interest rates could leave bond investors facing substantial losses.
Against that backdrop, asset managers like VanEck are offering more diversified products, adding Bitcoin while still retaining bond exposure.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has placed digital assets alongside AI and semiconductors in America’s technology race with China, saying a US win in crypto would strengthen the dollar.
Bessent opened Ripple’s Swell conference at The Shed in New York on Tuesday, in conversation with Ripple chief executive Brad Garlinghouse. He argued that reserve currencies have historically drawn their power from military strength.
We will keep our military umbrella, but I think more and more it’s becoming a technology umbrella.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent He pointed to the split between US and Chinese technology, where countries and companies face a choice over whose AI systems and chips to adopt. Bessent said the financial infrastructure those countries pick could also shape the dollar’s reach.
More than 90% of stablecoins are backed by US dollars, Bessent said, and their issuers often hold US government securities as reserves. As adoption grows, demand for those securities could rise and make stablecoins an important source of funding for the Treasury, he said.
Bessent added that stablecoins could reach new users in emerging markets who want to protect their savings from currency devaluation.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) listed the reserves its stablecoin issuers may hold in its final rule under the GENIUS Act on 21 October. They include cash, bank deposits and Treasury securities with 93 days or less to maturity. The rule takes effect on 18 January 2027.

The wider push for crypto market rules stalled on 15 September, when the Senate voted 49-50 against taking up the CLARITY Act. It needed 60 votes to advance.
Bessent called the failure a disappointment. He said the Treasury could work with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to advance oversight through agency action.
He described the SEC and CFTC as strong partners in building a framework that could serve as a model for other countries. CFTC Chair Michael Selig has already outlined two planned rules for crypto trading platforms that rely on the agency’s existing powers.
Bessent also said the CLARITY Act would have helped stop banks from cutting off crypto firms, a practice known as debanking. He said regulators could still set best practices and guardrails to prevent it.
Ripple won final OCC approval for its national trust bank on Monday, the day before Bessent’s appearance. Garlinghouse said the charter gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support its RLUSD stablecoin and provide digital asset custody to enterprises.

Bitcoin Price Trades Above $81,500 as Fed Keeps Rates Steady in Split Vote
The Federal Reserve left its benchmark rate unchanged Wednesday, holding the federal funds target range at 3.75% to 4%. The bitcoin price showed some volatility around $81,000.
The decision passed 10-2, and the dissents carry as much weight as the outcome. Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack wanted a quarter-point increase. It is the first time since 1992 that a Fed governor and a regional bank president have dissented together on the same side.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh faced reporters after the vote and said politics played no role in the decision, days before the midterm elections. Warsh has said he does not favor forward guidance absent a crisis, which leaves investors to read the data themselves.
The committee’s statement dropped its earlier language about when a hike might support a return to 2% inflation. In its place is a line saying more information will guide the policy stance. The Fed also described growth as strong, up from solid.
The signal points toward tightening. Fed funds futures and the Fed’s own dot plot lean toward a rate increase by December, and some pricing puts the odds near three in four. Inflation has been running hot, and the two dissenters are the officials who want to act on it.
Bitcoin price’s reaction was restrained. The bitcoin price spiked to about $81,700 in the minutes after the announcement, fell below $80,500, and then recovered toward $81,000. Most traders expected a hold, so the muted move surprises nobody.
Bitcoin’s first response to Fed news tends to be modest, and that the real direction often emerges over the following day. Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $110 million in net inflows on October 26 and $176 million on October 27, a sign that some institutional money is buying the dip. Other observers have flagged large holders selling into strength.
That tension defines crypto’s position right now. Bitcoin sits about a third below its October 2025 record near $126,000. A rate-hike path works against an asset that has thrived on cheap money, and the market has spent months adjusting to the possibility that the easy-money era is over.
Some traders read the hold as evidence the Fed will move slowly. Others see December as the real test. For now, the level to watch is a bitcoin price of $80,000. It has held as support in recent sessions, and a clean break below it would expose the next floor.
Warsh and his colleagues have said they will wait for incoming data before acting. Bitcoin will have to wait along with everyone else.
Bitcoin’s next big political test arrives on November 3, when voters across the country head to the polls. Crypto has not really dominated the campaign trail.
The crypto industry spent about $176 million on more than 100 midterm races to build a bipartisan bloc in Congress that could protect its interests after President Donald Trump left office. Fairshake, the industry’s largest super PAC, led the effort and directed strategy as it had in the 2024 cycle.
At the time of writing, the bitcoin price is $81,478.

Centralized Exchange and DeFi Losses Dominate 2026 Crypto Hacks Despite Hardware Wallet Failures
Crypto hacks have produced roughly $2.35 billion in net losses so far in 2026 after freezes and returns, according to a report by Lightning.news shared with Bitcoin Magazine. A security researcher by the name of Stacy Muur posted on X compiled “a list of protocols that were hacked for more than $50,000 in 2026.” 230 protocols year-to-date. “Crypto security is absolutely cooked.” September alone accounted for about $768 million in Muur’s tally, driven mainly by centralized exchanges and DeFi rather than pure Bitcoin self-custody hardware wallets, which got significant news coverage at the time.
The largest single loss was Bitget’s September 24 drain of roughly $387.5 million from hot and warm wallets. The exchange and firms including Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM Labs have linked the incident to North Korea, citing IP patterns consistent with prior DPRK-linked VPN use, on-chain overlaps with wallets tied to earlier Lazarus Group and TraderTraitor activity, including the 2025 Bybit theft. Attackers used third-party security products to inject fraudulent withdrawal commands without taking private keys.
Liquid Network, Blockstream’s Bitcoin sidechain, took the next-largest hit when attackers exploited an Elements software bug in early September to mint about 4,000 unbacked L-BTC and peg them out for roughly 4,000 real bitcoins, valued near $320 million at the time. The self-described white-hat actors returned 3,400 BTC after negotiations conducted on-chain via OP_RETURN messages and kept about 600 BTC. No federation keys were compromised. The loss came from a type of inflation bug on the Liquid network protocol.
Samson Mow later called the episode part of an “avalanche of AI-assisted attacks” that had already reached other Bitcoin-adjacent software before hitting Liquid. The network is back and running now, having covered the losses, presumably from investors.
DeFi platforms showed the same pattern of concentrated, high-value losses. Drift Protocol lost approximately $285–296 million in an April governance and multisig compromise that involved months of social engineering. An investigation commissioned by the project attributed the operation to North Korean actors.
KelpDAO’s LayerZero-powered rsETH bridge was drained of roughly $292 million in unbacked tokens after a single-verifier design was subverted. LayerZero stated that preliminary indicators pointed to DPRK’s Lazarus Group, specifically TraderTraitor.
Tectonic on Cronos saw about $120.4 million borrowed against manipulated collateral in late August. Validators later rewound the chain and recovered the majority, though several million dollars that had already been bridged off-network were not restored.
Incidents involving Bitcoin hardware wallets were smaller in aggregate despite the wide news coverage. Galaxy Research placed the Coinkite RNG hack values in the range of roughly 1,596–1,789 BTC, on the order of $100–130 million, with higher upper-bound estimates near 2,055 BTC.
Ledger losses of roughly $86–102 million traced to devices sold through the authorized Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis, where an unauthorized hardware implant captured recovery phrases during setup, a supply chain attack. The company stated that confirmed cases were limited to that reseller’s supply chain and that its own systems and direct sales were unaffected, though there are unconfirmed reports of such bugged devices making it to German markets. Combined, however, these hardware-adjacent events remain well below the single largest CEX and DeFi incidents.
The year has also coincided with the practical deployment of AI coding agents capable of scanning codebases for vulnerabilities and automating exploit development. Muur has stated that “AI is definitely making it much easier to find and exploit bugs. I think we’re entering a pretty serious cybersecurity arms race.”
Reports note that code-flaw exploits accelerated after the February release of models such as GPT-5.3-Codex and Claude Opus 4.6, which showed high success rates on smart-contract bug benchmarks at low cost.
OpenAI has disclosed internal testing cases in which agents accessed unauthorized test-network funds or bypassed controls to complete tasks. Most of the year’s largest heists still relied on traditional vectors such as key compromise, social engineering, and infrastructure flaws, but the lowered barrier for discovering and weaponizing bugs adds a new layer of risk, particularly for complex smart-contract systems and sidechains.
Bitcoin’s base layer itself has not been the source of these losses. The bulk of the 2026 damage has concentrated in CEX hot-wallet infrastructure, DeFi governance, oracle designs, and Bitcoin sidechain code, while pure self-custody hardware wallets, even when imperfect, have accounted for a distinctly smaller share. Nevertheless, calls for an update to self custody recommendations have emerged from industry leaders, pushing forward multivendor multisig wallets as the future of niche industry.

Nextpower Inc. (NXT) shares climbed 3.32% to $82.08 at market close before rising another 2.14% to $83.84 after hours. The gains followed strong fiscal third-quarter results, with revenue increasing 34% year over year to $909 million. Additionally, the company raised its fiscal 2026 outlook and authorized a $500 million share repurchase program.
Nextpower Inc., NXT
Nextpower reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $909 million, compared with $679 million in the same period last year. Revenue also edged higher from $905 million in the previous quarter, reflecting continued demand for its solar technology products. GAAP gross profit increased 20% year over year to $288 million.
However, GAAP gross margin declined to 31.7% from 35.5% a year earlier. GAAP net income reached $131 million, compared with $117 million in the prior-year quarter. Diluted earnings per share rose to $0.85 from $0.79, although they fell from $0.97 in the previous quarter.
Adjusted results also showed year-over-year growth, with gross profit reaching $295 million and adjusted EBITDA increasing to $214 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose to $1.10 from $1.03 in the year-ago quarter. Nevertheless, adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 23.5% from 27.4%, indicating lower margins despite higher revenue.
Nextpower’s board authorized a share repurchase program covering up to $500 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. The program will run for three years, although the company may modify, suspend, or terminate it at any time. Furthermore, management will determine repurchase timing and volumes based on share prices, trading activity, business needs, and market conditions.
The company generated $391 million in operating cash flow during the first nine months of fiscal 2026. It ended the third quarter with $953 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt. Additionally, Fitch awarded Nextpower an investment-grade credit rating, reflecting its financial position and cash generation.
Nextpower also expanded its operations and product portfolio during the quarter. The company increased domestic tracker manufacturing capacity and opened a Southeast operations hub featuring a Remote Monitoring Center. Meanwhile, its acquisition of Fracsun added panel-soiling measurement software and monitoring capabilities to its solar technology platform.
Nextpower raised its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to between $3.425 billion and $3.500 billion. Previously, the company projected revenue between $3.275 billion and $3.475 billion. The updated forecast reflects stronger bookings, operating execution, and demand across its business lines.
The company also increased its GAAP net income forecast to $525 million–$540 million, compared with its previous range of $499 million–$529 million. Additionally, management raised its GAAP diluted earnings-per-share outlook to 3.43–3.53 from 3.26–3.46. Adjusted EBITDA guidance now stands at $810 million–$830 million, up from the earlier range of $775 million–$815 million.
Nextpower expects adjusted diluted earnings per share to reach 4.26–4.36 in fiscal 2026. Its previous forecast ranged from $4.04 to $4.25 per share. The company continues to expand internationally, including through Nextpower Arabia, which secured a 2.25-gigawatt supply commitment for Saudi Arabia’s Bisha Solar Project.
The updated outlook assumes the current U.S. policy environment remains intact and permitting timelines follow historical patterns. Nextpower also plans to expand its integrated offerings across solar tracking, electrical balance-of-system products, and power conversion solutions. Together, stronger revenue guidance, international expansion, and the new buyback program provide key context for the stock’s post-earnings gains.

T-Mobile US (TMUS) shares climbed 0.85% to $148.08 at market close before advancing 0.88% to $149.39 after hours. The gains followed third-quarter 2026 results that showed stronger earnings, higher service revenue, and continued customer growth. Additionally, the wireless carrier raised its profitability and free cash flow guidance, reflecting stronger operating performance.
T-Mobile US, Inc., TMUS
T-Mobile reported third-quarter net income of $3.46 billion, up 27.3% from $2.71 billion a year earlier. Meanwhile, diluted earnings per share increased 33.6% to $3.22, compared with $2.41 in the same quarter. These results highlighted stronger profitability as the company expanded its wireless customer base and increased service revenue.
Total revenue reached $23.58 billion, representing a 7.4% year-over-year increase from $21.96 billion. Furthermore, total service revenue climbed 6.2% to $19.38 billion, while postpaid service revenue advanced 9.3% to $16.27 billion. The growth reflected stronger customer relationships and continued demand for the company’s wireless services.
Core adjusted EBITDA increased 10.8% to $9.62 billion, compared with $8.68 billion in the third quarter of 2025. However, operating cash flow declined 1.6% to $7.34 billion from $7.46 billion a year earlier. Adjusted free cash flow nevertheless rose 5.3% to $5.07 billion, supported partly by lower capital spending.
T-Mobile added 274,000 postpaid accounts during the third quarter, bringing its total postpaid account base to approximately 35 million. Although additions declined from 396,000 a year earlier, the company maintained positive growth across its core customer base. Total postpaid accounts increased 2.9% year-over-year, demonstrating continued demand for its wireless services.
Postpaid average revenue per account reached $155.73, up 4.2% from $149.44 in the prior-year quarter. This increase supported service revenue growth as the company generated more revenue from its postpaid customer relationships. However, postpaid account churn rose to 1.09%, compared with 0.97% a year earlier.
T-Mobile continued to strengthen its competitive position through network performance and customer experience. PCMag recognized the company across several categories, including mobile network speed, coverage, pricing, and customer satisfaction. Additionally, Opensignal recognized its 5G coverage, while Ookla ranked its fixed wireless access service highly for download and upload speeds.
Following its quarterly performance, T-Mobile raised the midpoint of its full-year profitability and cash flow outlook. The company now expects core adjusted EBITDA between $37.35 billion and $37.45 billion for 2026. This represents a $100 million increase at the midpoint from its previous guidance range.
The company also increased its adjusted free cash flow outlook to between $18.7 billion and $18.8 billion. That range represents a $150 million increase at the midpoint, while operating cash flow guidance also improved. T-Mobile expects net cash from operating activities between $28.7 billion and $28.8 billion, including payments for UScellular merger-related costs.
Management expects approximately one million postpaid net account additions for the full year. T-Mobile also returned $3.5 billion to stockholders during the third quarter through $2.4 billion in share repurchases and $1.1 billion in dividends. The company maintained its capital expenditure outlook at approximately $10 billion, while its improved earnings and cash flow projections supported the positive after-hours share movement.
