NEAR Intents announced via a post on the X platform that it was subjected to a security breach that resulted in the loss of $3.8 million in users’ funds. The incident drew widespread attention within the digital assets sector due to its connection to a broader security context involving Bitget.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs listed in the United States recorded net inflows of about $6.34 billion in the third quarter, marking their strongest quarterly performance in 2026 as the market recovered from the weakness in the first half of the year.
These inflows came after a second quarter that saw net outflows of about $5 billion, reflecting a clear shift in investor appetite over the past three months.

After the incident, investigators were able to identify the recipients’ addresses and track them quickly. But CEO of Bitget, Gracy Chen, asked THORChain to refuse service to those addresses, and the protocol responded that, as a decentralized system and without authorization—like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the BNB Chain—it should not be held responsible for handling stolen funds.

Bitwise also explained that it intends to pledge a large portion of the tokens held within the fund, a move that could add an operational dimension to how assets are managed inside it.
