BlockBeats News, Oct. 26: Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone wrote that gold has fallen back to support near $4,000 per ounce, while silver is approaching $50 per ounce. However, both metals’ performance relative to U.S. Treasuries may be at an extreme not seen in about 40 years, and precious metals may have peaked relative to Treasuries.
McGlone noted that rate hikes by most central banks, along with some pullback and volatility in U.S. stocks, could drive a shift in precious metals’ performance relative to Treasuries. By contrast, U.S. Treasuries and Treasury bills yielding close to 5% may once again look attractive.

Security researcher exploits PHP2Shell vulnerability to break into bounty website and claim about $2,000 in Bitcoin rewards
BlockBeats news, on October 26, security researcher killa (GitHub username KillaBoi) successfully exploited the recently disclosed high-risk PHP vulnerability PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), compromised the bounty website stealmybitcoin[.]com, and claimed a Bitcoin reward worth about $2,021 (0.02511679 BTC). It is reported that after the PHP core remote code execution vulnerability was disclosed on October 20, and because no reliable public exploit code had yet emerged, someone set up the website on October 24, deliberately using an unpatched version of PHP, and posted about $500 worth of Bitcoin as a "bounty reward" to invite hackers to verify the vulnerability's real-world exploitability. The reward later rose to about $2,000 due to donations. About 19.5 hours after the challenge began, killa wrote usable exploit code and successfully obtained the private key on the server. The website creator later confirmed the challenge had been solved and noted that placing the key there was a mistake, but acknowledged the attack succeeded. killa then 공개ed the complete PoC on GitHub.

Bitunix Analyst: High Interest Rates Undermine U.S. Housing Affordability; European Fiscal Concerns Widen Market Divisions
BlockBeats News, October 26: Market pressures are spreading from interest-rate expectations to physical supply chains, household financing, and government finances. The U.S. Department of Energy has designated helium as its 20th critical material, highlighting supply bottlenecks behind the expansion of AI and semiconductor production. The U.S. accounts for around 43% of global helium production, but extraction facilities are nearing their capacity limits, and building new plants takes years. Meanwhile, supplies from Qatar have been disrupted by conflict in the Middle East, and one of Polar’s three suppliers to wafer fabs has already limited deliveries. As data centers continue to drive demand for chips, shortages of critical materials could directly constrain production capacity.

Film Hurricane’s Tim gives away 100 iPhones on X; Web3 airdrop-farming groups may be the biggest winners
BlockBeats News, Oct. 26 — The well-known Chinese social media account “Film Hurricane” recently expanded onto X. For its first promotional campaign since launching on the platform, Film Hurricane offered 100 iPhones in a giveaway, asking participants to follow the account, repost and like the relevant post. As of publication, the promotional video had received 4.87 million views, with both likes and reposts topping 100,000. Tim Pan’s account also quickly grew to 302,000 followers. Judging by the reach, engagement and follower growth, the overseas debut had a direct impact. However, while the campaign generated plenty of traffic, the list of winners sparked a different discussion.
Binance founder CZ quoted a post on X about a new BNB Chain L1, saying, “Multiple chains, one coin.” This is the most straightforward description of the chain’s positioning so far. The new chain won’t issue its own token; Gas fees, staking, and governance will all continue to use BNB. No matter how many more chains BNB launches, there’s only one account that ultimately collects the fees. In fact, the new chain was announced in the official technical roadmap on July 8. The official documentation describes it as “a vertically optimized, general-purpose L1 designed for trading, payments, privacy, and AI.”

A Closer Look at the “Paper” Support in Bitcoin’s Order Book: Could a Break Below $80,000 Lead to Further Pullbacks?
BlockBeats News, October 26: BTC is currently hovering around $80,000, with large-scale buying plans interspersed among long liquidation levels. In the derivatives market, an apparently thick “buy wall” could trigger a cascade of forced liquidations if a price drop breaches the long liquidation levels, instantly turning what were buy orders into forced sell orders. To assess “where strong support may lie,” we analyzed the cost basis of nearly 200 whales holding long positions worth at least $1 million each in the Hyperliquid market. We examined 557 addresses that had previously held positions worth over $1 million, and modeled the interplay between preset buy orders, exit sell orders, and liquidation pressure from long positions.
