U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded $8.43 million in net inflows on October 29, the strongest daily figure of the month for the products tied to $XRP, the token associated with @Ripple.
The figures come from SoSoValue data. ChainCatcher reported that the total net inflow for the day was $8.4316 million. The funds' cumulative net inflows stand at $1.809 billion, and total net assets are $1.465 billion.
Franklin Templeton and Bitwise Lead Inflows
The Franklin XRP ETF (XRPZ) led the group with $5.57 million, while the Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP) added $2.86 million, according to CryptoTicker. The same report said the Canary XRP ETF recorded neither inflows nor outflows that day. Across October as a whole, one analysis cited by the outlet counts $19.33 million in net inflows.
The latest reading follows a weaker run. TokenPost reported that the funds took in $4.25 million in the week ended October 23, after $1.84 million in outflows in the week ended October 16. Daily inflows are not yet a weekly total, so it remains to be seen whether this week will exceed last week's figure.
Flows were mixed across other altcoin products on the same day. According to TokenPost's altcoin ETF roundup, XRP, HYPE and ZEC spot ETFs drew inflows, while SOL funds lost $27.69 million on a fourth straight day of outflows. The same roundup put XRP ETF net assets at $1.47 billion, equivalent to 1.85% of XRP's market capitalization.
Price Remains Under Pressure
The inflows come as XRP has struggled. AOL reported that XRP fell nearly 19% in October to $1.25, and that spot XRP ETF assets slipped from $1.70 billion to $1.47 billion over the month. Five sessions in October recorded zero net inflows, with the largest daily outflow at $3.61 million on October 26.
Net flow figures also have limits. As TokenPost noted, net flows measure the balance between fund shares created and redeemed. They do not identify investors or confirm that the funds bought an equivalent amount of XRP on spot markets.

Spot $ZEC ETFs have recorded eight straight days of net inflows, even as the broader crypto market remains under pressure. The run follows a heavy stretch of redemptions earlier in the month.
According to figures supplied for this report, the @Zcash products are up about $22 million on the week. Even so, they remain down $41.68 million for October as a whole, reflecting the scale of the earlier outflows.
Inflows Build Through Late October
The only US-listed spot Zcash fund in the data is The Zcash ETF (ZCSH), run by Grayscale. Phemex, citing SoSoValue data, reported that spot Zcash ETFs took in $2.07 million on October 28, with ZCSH the sole contributor. Cumulative net inflows at that point stood at $211 million, and total net assets were $757 million.
Flows picked up the following day. KuCoin News, citing SoSoValue, reported that ZCSH added $14.81 million on October 29, lifting cumulative inflows to $226 million. Net asset value was $788 million, equal to a 3.71% net asset ratio.
The recovery follows a weak patch. Invezz reported that the fund drew $41.09 million in the prior week, which ended three consecutive weeks of outflows. The inflows arrived ahead of Zcash's Network Upgrade 7 (NU7), scheduled for November 5, according to the same report.
What the Fund Is
ZCSH began as Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) and trades on NYSE Arca. According to its SEC prospectus filing, the trust changed its name to The Zcash ETF on August 24, 2026. Its objective is for share value to reflect the ZEC it holds, less expenses. The filing notes that buying shares is not a direct investment in ZEC.
The month-to-date deficit shows that the recent inflow streak has not yet offset October's earlier redemptions. Whether the buying continues around the NU7 upgrade will determine if the monthly total moves back toward break-even.

The NIGHT token of @MidnightNtwrk rose against a broad crypto selloff on Friday. According to CoinGecko data, NIGHT gained 8.2% over 24 hours to trade at about $0.04, the strongest performance among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation. It was trading at its daily high at the time of writing.
NIGHT has a market capitalisation of about $662 million and ranks 89th on CoinGecko. The total crypto market capitalisation slid to around $2.7 trillion over the same period, with $BTC and $ETH both lower on the day.
Selloff Follows Record Binance Hack
The wider decline followed a security incident at Binance. NBC News reported that the exchange said it was the target of a $6.3 billion heist on Thursday, believed to be the largest ever recorded. Binance said it had frozen about $3 billion of the assets. In a video address on Friday, Decrypt reported that Binance CEO Richard Teng said the exchange had set aside more than $6.34 billion of company funds to cover losses, aims to restore withdrawals by Sunday and plans to publish a full Proof of Reserves report by Monday.
What NIGHT Does on Midnight
Midnight is a privacy-focused blockchain. According to Midnight's own tokenomics blog, NIGHT is the network's utility token with a supply of 24 billion tokens. The same post says holding NIGHT generates DUST, the network's capacity resource used to power transactions and smart contract execution. Midnight's State of the Network update describes NIGHT as granting governance rights and acting as the generator of DUST, a renewable resource that regenerates over time based on NIGHT holdings.

Pi Network has expanded PiVerify, its identity verification service for outside businesses, and added historical price charts for testnet tokens to the Pi BlockExplorer. The updates were announced by @PiCoreTeam in a developer platform blog post.
PiVerify Adds Face Uniqueness and Liveness Checks
According to Pi Network's blog, PiVerify now includes face uniqueness and multiple liveness checks for third-party businesses. These build on capabilities already used within Pi's own KYC system.
Face uniqueness checks help businesses identify potentially duplicate identities within their user base. Multiple liveness checks let a business request additional verification after a user's initial identity check. Pi said the tools support stronger protection against fake accounts, fraud and abuse.
PiVerify was first introduced at Pi2Day 2026. As described in Pi's Pi2Day announcement, the service makes Pi's real-human verification available to outside clients that need KYC and identity checks for their own users. Pi said its AI and human KYC model has verified more than 18 million Pioneers across over 200 countries and regions. The same post lists document checks, liveness verification, sanctions and AML screening support, and duplicate detection among the services PiVerify can support.
Clients pay for PiVerify in $PI, which Pi says increases utility for the token. Pi has not published figures on how many businesses use the service, and the scale of adoption remains unclear.
BlockExplorer Shows Testnet Token Price History
Pi BlockExplorer now includes historical price tracking for Launchpad Testnet tokens, such as SLICE, relative to Test-Pi, according to Pi's blog. The data can be viewed without access to the Pi Browser or a Pi account, which Pi said increases visibility into how liquidity pool swaps affect token prices. The feature builds on an earlier Launchpad update that added price charts inside the Launchpad app.
Pi stressed that these test tokens exist only on Testnet and will never move to Mainnet. Future Mainnet tokens will be tracked in the same BlockExplorer interface once that functionality is released.
Market reaction was muted. TokenPost reported that PI was priced at $0.07751 on OKX on Friday, with a 13.77% decline over 30 days, and noted those figures do not show whether the product changes affected demand.

Entwickler, die am von @Ripple unterstützten XRP Ledger arbeiten, haben vier Codeänderungen vorgeschlagen, um Schlupflöcher zu schließen, durch die gesperrte Token ohne Zustimmung des Emittenten auf Konten gelangen können. Die Änderungen wurden diese Woche für die Kernsoftware des Ledgers vorgeschlagen und in einem einzigen Upgrade namens fixCleanup3_5_0 für das $XRP-Netzwerk gebündelt.
Emittenten regulierter Vermögenswerte wie Stablecoins und tokenisierter Fonds können verlangen, dass ein Konto erst eine Genehmigung einholt, bevor es ihre Token hält, berichtete CoinDesk. So können sie häufig zunächst Identitätsprüfungen durchführen. Diese Genehmigung ist an die Trustline gebunden, die Verbindung, die ein Konto im XRP Ledger einrichtet, um einen von jemand anderem ausgegebenen Token zu halten. Entwickler haben mehrere Möglichkeiten gefunden, diese Regel zu umgehen.

Hardware wallet maker Trezor has warned customers who bought devices from the reseller CryptoBilis to move their funds, after a report of a hardware implant in a Trezor Safe 5. The company is treating the claim as credible, even though the device has not yet reached its lab.
What Trezor Says Was Found
According to Trezor's own notice, its security team received a responsible disclosure on October 28, 2026, describing a single implant in a Safe 5 bought from CryptoBilis in August 2026. A Trezor customer in Indonesia made the report.
BleepingComputer reported that the user found an extra circuit board between the main board and the screen, fitted with a cellular module and antenna. Based on the customer's unconfirmed description, the implant appears able to read information shown on the screen, including the recovery phrase, and send it over a mobile network when the device is plugged in.
Trezor has said it has not received the device to confirm the report. It is sharing the details now so that buyers can secure their funds as a precaution. The Block noted that Trezor has not received the device but is treating the risk as credible.
No CryptoBilis buyer has reported a loss of funds to Trezor. The customer who filed the report had already moved his funds off the device before he found the implant, Trezor said.
Guidance for Buyers and Link to the Ledger Case
Trezor's advice applies to every model bought from CryptoBilis, not only the Safe 5. Anyone who bought from the reseller since March 2026 should move funds to a newly created wallet with a new recovery seed and contact Trezor Support. Customers who have not yet set up a CryptoBilis device should not do so. Trezor has said affected buyers can receive a replacement or a voucher.
CryptoBilis was an official Trezor reseller in Southeast Asia until October 2026. Trezor stopped sales through the reseller on October 9, after the Ledger incident earlier in the month. BleepingComputer said the implants on the two brands of device appear similar in form and function.
Trezor has also inspected devices from other CryptoBilis customers. By its account, it found no signs of tampering on four devices received so far. The new report therefore remains a single, unverified case until Trezor can examine the unit.
The episode adds to concern about supply chain attacks on hardware wallets, where devices can be altered before they reach the buyer. Buying directly from the manufacturer or from a listed authorized reseller reduces that risk.

Prediction market platform @Polymarket has launched 15-minute up-or-down markets on gold and silver, with oracle network @chainlink, the project behind $LINK, supplying the prices used to settle each contract.
The companies expanded their partnership at Link:NYC, where Polymarket named Chainlink its official oracle partner for these fast markets. According to the joint press release, the move builds on more than $11 billion in trading volume already powered by Chainlink around Polymarket's 5- and 15-minute crypto price markets.
How the Gold and Silver Markets Work
Users bet on whether the spot price of each metal will rise or fall over a 15-minute window. DigitalToday reported that outcomes are settled using the spot prices at the start and end of the window, and that US takers pay a fee of roughly $1.74 per 100 contracts traded at 50 cents.
The release states that Chainlink provides Polymarket with pricing data through Data Streams and the Chainlink Runtime Environment. Securities.io noted that Data Streams supply low-latency, timestamped and verifiable oracle reports, while Chainlink Automation handles automated onchain settlement. Polymarket's market makers and algorithmic traders can also access the same Data Streams through self-serve access.
Johann Eid, chief business officer at Chainlink Labs, said in the release that the company's high-speed pricing data enables Polymarket to resolve these markets with the accuracy and efficiency users expect.
What Comes Next
The rollout is the first step in taking the short-duration format beyond crypto. More commodities are planned, with equities and foreign exchange to follow. Fortune reported that neither company has given a date for when 15-minute contracts on stocks and currencies will go live.
The format has drawn scrutiny. Fortune cited a recent Bloomberg report describing such markets as essentially a coin flip that traders have called highly addictive. Fortune also noted that the Bitcoin versions proved popular enough for Polymarket to add five-minute contracts, and that the new gold and silver contracts are also available on rival platform Kalshi.
For Chainlink, the deal extends its role as a data provider from crypto assets into traditional markets, with prices for precious metals now feeding a high-volume consumer product.

Aero, the decentralised exchange formed from the merger of Aerodrome and Velodrome, has begun rolling out a maximal extractable value (MEV) tax on select pools on OP Mainnet. The pilot, announced by @aeroxyz, is aimed at capturing value from traders who pay extra to have their transactions processed ahead of others.
How the MEV Tax Works
The mechanism applies an additional fee that rises with the amount a trade pays to jump the queue, up to a set cap. The revenue goes to liquidity providers and to staked $AERO holders rather than to block builders.
Aero's own documentation describes the design in similar terms. Every swap pays trading fees, and what Aero calls Smart Fees add a dynamic fee premium when markets move fast, plus an MEV tax on swaps that bid high priority fees. Technical documentation for third-party integrations adds that the factory only charges the tax on transactions paying a priority fee above the module's threshold. Ordinary retail trades are therefore not expected to be affected.
The tax runs on Aero's Slipstream V3 pools, which already charge higher fees when markets move fast. Slipstream's concentrated liquidity pools raise fees during periods of market volatility and lower them during calm periods.
Aero is starting with cautious settings. The team plans to gather data from the pilot before expanding the tax to more pools and chains.
Background: Aero's Launch and OP Mainnet Footprint
Aero launched after the merger of the two exchanges. The combined exchange went live on October 21, 2026, across Base, Ethereum mainnet, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Ink, Arc and Robinhood Chain, according to core developer Dromos Labs. The MEV tax was part of the plan from the start: transactions whose priority fees exceed the threshold for ordinary retail transactions pay an additional fee, distributed to LPs or sAERO holders in the same way as trading fees.
OP Mainnet is a key market for the protocol. According to the project, Aerodrome accounted for 58% of DEX trading volume on Base in the third quarter, while Velodrome accounted for 60% on OP Mainnet. Revenue has so far been weighted toward Base. Based on Aero's Dune data page, Velodrome's total revenue was about $69.8 million as of mid-October 2026, of which $64.8 million came from OP Mainnet.
The pilot gives Aero a way to test whether the added fee income can improve returns for liquidity providers without discouraging trading. Results from OP Mainnet are likely to shape how the tax is applied elsewhere on the network.

Celestia Labs has unveiled Voyager, a blockchain architecture built for payments made by AI agents, and says it sustained more than 21 million transactions per second (TPS) in a single-node test. The announcement came on October 29, according to Blockchain.News.
@celestia, the network behind $TIA, positions Voyager as a payments layer for AI agents that need fast, low-cost settlement each time they use data, content or a service.
What the Benchmark Showed
In its first full benchmark, Celestia said Voyager ran for five hours across 100 million accounts. KuCoin News reports that throughput averaged 21.2 million TPS and peaked at 21.6 million. The run covered about 400 billion random transfers, with a single CPU core handling all balance updates.
Celestia says Voyager splits payment processing into independently scalable threads, so the execution thread that updates balances is not held up by other work. Per ChainCatcher, transactions are first checked for signatures and batched at an entry layer. They then pass into a circular buffer inspired by the Disruptor exchange system, with state held in a flat table rather than a Merkle tree.
Every payment is published to Celestia Fibre, the network's high-capacity data layer. The Defiant, via Cryptonews, reports that Fibre was activated on mainnet on October 20 and gives rollups a separate route to publish large data packages directly to validators.
Limits and Next Steps
The result comes with caveats. The test ran on a single node and did not include state root computation, cross-machine replication or real-time state queries at the same scale, according to KuCoin News. The Defiant describes Voyager as pre-production and says the single-node figure is not a measure of live network throughput.
Celestia Labs still has work to do, including syncing data to other nodes, before Voyager can go into production. Blockchain.News notes that Celestia has not given a timeline for any launch. The company has said it plans to publish a more detailed technical write-up.
Voyager also marks a shift in focus. KuCoin News notes that the project extends Celestia Labs from supplying data capacity to building software that processes transactions.

Binance rechnet damit, innerhalb von 48 Stunden mit der Wiederherstellung von Auszahlungen zu beginnen, sagte Co-CEO Yi He (@heyibinance), während die Börse daran arbeitet, sich von dem zu erholen, was als größter Krypto-Hack aller Zeiten bezeichnet wird. Das Unternehmen gibt an, dass Vermögenswerte im Wert von etwa 6,3 Milliarden US-Dollar betroffen waren und rund 3 Milliarden US-Dollar auf der Blockchain eingefroren wurden.
In einem am 30. Oktober veröffentlichten Service-Update sagte Yi He, Binance rechne damit, die Auszahlungsdienste innerhalb der nächsten 48 Stunden wieder aufzunehmen. Einzahlungen seien weiterhin nicht betroffen und würden normal abgewickelt. Sie sagte, das Team arbeite an Verbesserungen des Auszahlungsdienstes und der damit verbundenen Adresskontrollen. Der Zeitplan ist weiterhin eine Erwartung und keine bestätigte Wiederaufnahme; sie hängt vom Abschluss der Sicherheitsprüfungen ab.

Die nigerianische Fintech-Plattform OPay hat den Handel an der New Yorker Börse unter dem Tickersymbol $OPAY aufgenommen. Dem vorausgegangen war ein Börsengang, der das Unternehmen mit rund 4 Milliarden Dollar bewertete. Damit ist OPay das erste große, auf Nigeria ausgerichtete Fintech-Unternehmen, das in den USA an die Börse geht. Der Börsengang folgt auf eine Phase verhaltener Stimmung am US-amerikanischen IPO-Markt.
Börsengang: Konditionen und Bewertung
Das von SoftBank unterstützte Unternehmen OPay teilte am Freitag mit, bei seinem Börsengang in den USA 304 Millionen Dollar eingenommen zu haben. Das Unternehmen verkaufte 16 Millionen American Depositary Shares zu je 19 Dollar und lag damit am unteren Ende der angestrebten Preisspanne von 19 bis 21 Dollar. Daraus ergab sich eine Bewertung von rund 4 Milliarden Dollar. OPay räumte den Konsortialbanken außerdem eine 30-tägige Option zum Kauf von bis zu weiteren 2.400.000 ADS ein, um eine Mehrzuteilung abzudecken.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) hat ihren Tokenisierungsdienst im Canton Network gestartet und @CantonNetwork damit einen konkreten Anwendungsfall für institutionelle Nutzer verschafft. Unabhängig davon plant das an der Nasdaq notierte Unternehmen Canton Strategic Holdings ($CNTN), bereits am 2. November tokenisierte Versionen seiner eigenen Aktien in das Netzwerk einzubringen.
DTCC-Tokenisierungsdienst im Canton Network gestartet
DTCC, das eine zentrale Rolle an den US-Wertpapiermärkten einnimmt, hat am Mittwoch seinen Tokenisierungsdienst gestartet und damit einen Schritt unternommen, um Aktien, Anleihen und Fonds auf eine Blockchain-Infrastruktur zu bringen. Der Dienst ist im Canton Network und auf der privaten Besu-Blockchain von DTCC verfügbar. Zu Beginn werden ausgewählte Large-Cap-Aktien aus dem Russell-1000-Index, börsengehandelte Fonds (ETFs) und US-Staatsanleihen unterstützt.

@Aave hat alle Kreditmärkte seiner V3- und V4-Deployments wieder freigegeben – wenige Tage nachdem eine Sicherheitsverletzung bei @Binance einen protokollweiten Notfall-Freeze ausgelöst hatte. Das Protokoll erklärt, seine Smart Contracts seien nicht betroffen gewesen und die Positionen seien durchgehend vollständig besichert geblieben.
Aave erklärte, dass während des Freeze lediglich neue Einzahlungen und Kreditaufnahmen pausiert wurden, während Abhebungen und Rückzahlungen normal weiterliefen, so PANews.
Neun Assets bleiben als Sicherheiten ausgeschlossen
Die Wiedereröffnung der Märkte stellt nicht den vollen Funktionsumfang wieder her. Als fortlaufende Vorsichtsmaßnahme bleibt das Loan-to-Value-Verhältnis (LTV) von USDT, USDC, USDT0, POL, WAVAX, sAVAX, XAUT, PAXG und OP vorübergehend bei 0. Das bedeutet, dass diese Assets nicht als Sicherheit für neue Kredite verwendet werden können. Wie The Defiant berichtet, gelten die Einschränkungen überall dort, wo die Assets gelistet sind, wobei für bestehende Positionen in V3 und V4 unterschiedliche Regeln gelten.

Anchorpoint, ein lizenzierter Stablecoin-Emittent aus Hongkong, plant, $HKDAP, seinen an den Hongkong-Dollar gebundenen Stablecoin, auf die @Solana-Blockchain zu bringen. Ziel ist eine nahezu sofortige Abwicklung des grenzüberschreitenden Handels in Asien sowie die Verknüpfung von Zahlungen an Einzelhandelskassen mit tokenisierten realen Vermögenswerten.
Was die Solana-Vereinbarung umfasst
Anchorpoint wurde von der Standard Chartered Bank, Hong Kong Telecommunications und Animoca Brands gegründet. HKDAP wird nativ auf Solana ausgegeben und eingelöst. Die Anwendungsfälle reichen von Einzelhandelszahlungen bis hin zu tokenisierten Vermögenswerten. Die Partnerschaft ist die erste Zusammenarbeit von HKDAP mit einem öffentlichen Blockchain-Netzwerk.

XDC Network, an enterprise-focused Layer 1 blockchain, closed October 2026 with new institutional validators and wider retail access for its native token. Payments company @MoneyGram and Swiss digital assets infrastructure provider @Taurus_hq joined the network as validators, while $XDC became available through @RobinhoodCrypto and Japan's CoinTrade.
MoneyGram and Taurus Join the Validator Set
According to a press release published by crypto.news, MoneyGram joined XDC Network as an institutional validator, dated October 19, 2026. The company joins a validator set that already includes SBI Holdings, Deutsche Telekom, NTT DOCOMO Global, Clear Street, Hex Trust and Taurus, among other regulated institutions across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America.
Luke Tuttle, MoneyGram's Chief Product and Technology Officer, said the move means contributing directly to the infrastructure supporting the network. Yahoo Finance, in a report originally published by BeInCrypto, described MoneyGram as an 85-year-old remittance company serving around 60 million customers.
The validator role does not by itself bring MoneyGram's payment flows to XDC. BeInCrypto noted that MoneyGram's MGUSD stablecoin runs on Stellar, so the XDC role is about governance rather than customer flow for now.
Taurus joined as an institutional validator on October 7, according to a Genfinity review of XDC Network's October activity. Taurus co-founder Lamine Brahimi described the role as a contribution to network security and resilience.
Robinhood and CoinTrade Widen Retail Access
On the consumer side, Crypto Briefing reported that Robinhood Crypto added XDC for eligible US customers on October 8, 2026, with some state restrictions applying. Genfinity reported that New York residents cannot trade the token on the platform. A press release distributed by Cointelegraph, commissioned by XDC, said the listing opens the token to 2.3 million users on the Robinhood platform.
Genfinity also reported that Japan's CoinTrade began offering XDC the same day. The exchange is operated by Mercury Co. and now lists 26 assets. CoinTrade also added XDC to its recurring purchase feature and plans to add staking soon, according to VOIX as cited by Genfinity.
Listings alone do not guarantee higher adoption or liquidity. Even so, the month's additions show XDC combining validator support from established financial firms with easier access for retail traders in the United States and Japan.

Polygon hat im Laufe seiner gesamten Geschichte mehr als 8,3 Milliarden Transaktionen verzeichnet, wie aus den Daten der Blockchain-Analyseplattform Chainspect hervorgeht. Diese Zahl entspricht in etwa der Weltbevölkerung, die die Vereinten Nationen für 2026 auf rund 8,3 Milliarden Menschen schätzen.
@0xPolygon, das Team hinter dem Netzwerk, hat sich zu einem der meistgenutzten Skalierungsnetzwerke für $ETH entwickelt. Dieser Meilenstein deutet auf anhaltende Aktivität statt auf einen kurzlebigen Interessensschub hin.
Was die Transaktionszahl aussagt
Die Zahl ist kumulativ. Sie umfasst alle Transaktionen seit dem Start des Netzwerks im Jahr 2020 und ist keine Tages- oder Monatskennzahl. Frühere Angaben bezifferten die Gesamtzahl vor etwa drei Wochen auf 8.200.006.683 Transaktionen. Das deutet darauf hin, dass die Zahl stetig weiter gestiegen ist.

South Korean cryptocurrency exchange @BithumbOfficial will end trading support for the Core DAO (@Coredao_Org) $CORE token, with trading closing on November 30, 2026, at 15:00 KST. Withdrawals will remain available until December 30, 2026, at 15:00 KST.
Delisting Schedule and Reasons
Bithumb will end trading support for Blur (BLUR) and Core (CORE) on Nov. 30, with withdrawals available for another month under its announced delisting schedule. When trading ends, Bithumb will stop API trading support for both tokens and cancel open orders. The exchange urged users to withdraw their assets before the Dec. 30 cutoff and register withdrawal addresses for overseas virtual asset service providers or personal wallets.
On the reason for the CORE decision, Bithumb said the reason for its trading-caution designation remained unresolved. Bithumb had earlier extended that designation for the token, according to an exchange announcement summary.
The closure removes a significant market for the token, since Bithumb is one of South Korea's main crypto trading venues.
Background: Security Incident and Korean Regulation
The trading-caution status followed a security-related episode at the end of August. Core first reported the problem on August 31, saying a few validators had accrued block rewards far above the amount scheduled by the protocol. Bithumb suspended CORE deposits and withdrawals on August 31 over a suspected security issue and later designated the token for trading caution. Core DAO said at the time that the planned upgrade would apply prospectively, leaving the blockchain and all previously confirmed transactions unchanged.
The delisting also comes as South Korean exchanges operate under stricter oversight. The Act on the Protection of Virtual Asset Users requires virtual asset service providers to safely manage and store their customers' deposits and virtual assets. The law, passed in July 2023, did not initially set clear standards for listings or delisting. Regulators later said guidelines would cover whether to maintain listings, providing a basis for delisting when problems arise.
Holders of CORE on Bithumb should move their tokens before the December 30 deadline. Open orders will be cancelled when trading ends on November 30.

Betrüger senden winzige Beträge in $Pi an Tausende von @PiCoreTeam-Wallets. Die Kampagne scheint darauf ausgelegt zu sein, Pioneers auf Phishing-Websites zu locken. Die Überweisungen betragen in der Regel 0.000314 Pi und enthalten Memo-Texte mit absurden Umrechnungskursen, etwa "1 Pi = $314,159."
Die Zahlen spielen auf die Zahl Pi (3.14159) an und sollen die Aufmerksamkeit von Wallet-Inhabern erregen. Ziel ist es, die Empfänger dazu zu bringen, ihre Wallet-Passphrase oder ihre Pi herauszugeben.
So funktioniert der Dust-Transfer-Betrug im Pi Network
Die Taktik ähnelt dem sogenannten Address Poisoning, bei dem Angreifer eine winzige Transaktion senden, damit ihre Adresse im Transaktionsverlauf eines Opfers erscheint. Trust Wallet beschreibt Address Poisoning als Betrugsmasche, bei der kleine Beträge überwiesen werden, in der Hoffnung, dass ein Nutzer später die gefälschte Adresse aus seinem Transaktionsverlauf kopiert und Geld dorthin sendet. Bei dieser Pi-Kampagne scheinen die Dust-Überweisung und der Memo-Text hauptsächlich als Köder zu dienen, um Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen und Opfer zu schädlichen Links zu führen.
