Bosses, if you haven’t bound an invitation code for a Binance Web3 wallet yet, you can use my invitation code to bind it. Even older accounts that are already in use can also fill it in. It can reduce trading fees by 30%. If you’re刷刷(trading)every day, the savings over the long run can be significant.
How to bind: On the Binance app, go to the Wallet homepage, tap "Invite" → tap to enter the invitation code → copy the invitation code "EMBER" and paste it, then tap OK.
The FBI has asked THORChain to block money-laundering transactions involving funds stolen from Binance. Will THORChain use decentralization as an excuse to refuse again, or just comply? 😂
Why do hackers choose THORChain as their primary cross-chain money-laundering tool? Because it’s safe. THORChain doesn’t refuse to let stolen funds be traded on its platform—that’s how they make their money (through transaction fees on stolen funds). So Bybit, Kelp DAO, and Bitget have all previously asked THORChain to block stolen funds, and THORChain refused. Blocking them would be like killing the goose that lays their golden eggs.
Now the FBI has asked. Will THORChain block them or not? 😂 ◎ If they do, probably fewer hackers will dare use THORChain in the future, and THORChain’s money-printing machine will have to shut down. ◎ If they don’t, everyone knows the risks of going up against the FBI.
Over the past 2 hours, Ethena deposited 128.6 million ENA ($24.33 million) to Binance.
Binance is currently buying back the stolen assets on- and off-exchange to complete its proof of reserves (PoR). Could this be Binance buying ENA from Ethena OTC to cover the stolen amount?
*Note: 217.5 million ENA was stolen from Binance yesterday.
912,383 HYPE ($82.09 million) was transferred to the institutional trading platform FalconX by a whale/institution 2 hours ago.
◎ These HYPE were accumulated through Coinbase Prime and FalconX 1–2 months ago at an average price of around $81. ◎ They were transferred out today at $90, for an estimated profit of $8.03 million.
A Binance hacker mistakenly transferred 18 types of tokens worth $3.32 million, including NEWT, to the NEWT token contract address.
These mistakenly transferred funds are permanently lost, and the NEWT project team cannot recover them:
The NEWT Foundation says that admin privileges for the NEWT token contract were renounced in 2025, and the contract’s upgrade function was disabled. So no one can remove these mistakenly transferred tokens from the NEWT token contract—they are effectively burned.
After all his ETH long positions were liquidated this morning, Machi has deposited more funds and gone long again.
His ETH longs were completely liquidated this morning during the market drop caused by the Binance hack. This afternoon, he deposited another 250,000 USDC and continued going long. He has now opened long positions worth $5.88 million in total, including ETH, HYPE, and BTC. As usual, he’s using fairly high leverage, so the liquidation price for his ETH position is once again very close: $2,161, just $86 below the current price.
He has been aggressively gambling on Hyperliquid for nearly a year and a half, with a trading volume of up to $15.86 billion. His total losses amount to $37.05 million.
Bearish on the market outlook after Binance was hacked, this diamond-handed whale who had held BTC and ETH long positions for nearly four months just closed his long positions worth $1 hundred million, locking in a profit of $17.78 million, and then turned around and opened a short position of 20,000 ETH ($44.6 million)!
◎ In early July, he opened a long position of 1,000 BTC at $62,353 and 10,000 ETH at $1,762. ◎ After holding the positions for nearly four months, he turned bearish on the market outlook following today's Binance hack and just closed all his long positions, locking in a profit of $17.78 million. ◎ He then opened a short position of 20,000 ETH ($44.6 million) at $2,228.
Whales triggered a market crash when they sold coins on Monday, July 6th in the micro-strategy announcement. He entered to go long and bought BTC and ETH worth $80 million, holding them until now. BTC long entry price $ 62,353; ETH long entry price $ 1,762.
With the violent rebound over the past two days, the long position he opened a month and a half ago is now up by as much as $21.10 million in unrealized profit.
A positive example of “be greedy when others are fearful”: Whale "wenyu8888888" bought the dip in UNI and PEPE after a hacker's sell-off caused the market to panic and tumble this morning, making a profit of $270,000.
◎ At around 7 a.m., spent 2.61 million USDC to buy the dip, acquiring 297.9 billion PEPE and 208,000 UNI. ◎ 20 minutes ago, all of the UNI and PEPE bought in the dip were transferred to Gate, worth $2.88 million. Made $270,000 in 5 hours.
This hacker is pretty reckless. Do they not know that Arbitrum’s official team can transfer funds directly out of their wallet?
The assets stolen from Binance by the hacker this morning included Arbitrum assets worth $30.25 million: 8,426 ETH + 74.56 million ARB. They probably thought ETH and the native token ARB would be safe, so they left them there for now instead of bridging them to Ethereum.
15 minutes ago, Arbitrum’s official team transferred the ETH and ARB on Arbitrum out of the hacker’s wallet. Address: 0x3E2bf1ac6bf0934BBba6456C341c2EcbCED632d5
Half a year ago, the hacker who stole rsETH left 30,766 ETH on Arbitrum. Arbitrum’s official team transferred those funds too, and then returned them to the project team.

Sigh, the hackers really are the only winners in this market.
Binance was hacked early this morning, with about $3.43 billion in assets stolen (excluding the $2.43 billion in stablecoins that issuers have already helped freeze).
The largest amount stolen was 18,270 BTC ($1.44 billion), which the hackers haven’t moved yet. Other altcoins are currently being sold for ETH, and the hackers now hold as many as 467,000 ETH ($1.06 billion).

Hyperliquid development team HyperLabs applied to redeem 179,706 HYPE ($14.49 million) from staking 10 hours ago. The HYPE requested for redemption will arrive on the evening of 11/4 (in 7 days).
This should be the same as previous team token unlocks: after being unstaked, the tokens are first distributed to team members, then traded OTC through Flowdesk, a market maker and institutional trading platform.
Hyperliquid development team HyperLabs successfully redeemed 3.75 million HYPE ($332 million) 8 hours ago. Four hours ago, after being distributed across 5 wallets, the tokens were ultimately consolidated into address 0x875...1d1 (likely an institution that bought the tokens OTC from the team).
Then, 1.25 million HYPE ($110 million) were restaked, while the remaining 2.5 million HYPE ($220 million) are sitting in the wallet.
These days, very few whales or institutions dare to borrow to leverage long ETH (there have been too many liquidations). The one below is already the largest recent example:
Over the past month, he borrowed 31 million U from Aave through recursive borrowing to buy 21,895 ETH ($54.63 million), at an average purchase price of around $2,495. The position’s liquidation price is $1,660.
An ancient whale that acquired 200,000 ETH in the ICO transferred the last 7,594 ETH in its address ($17.79 million) to Kraken 6 hours ago, completing its sell-off.
It acquired 200,000 ETH in the ICO at $0.311 per ETH. Over the years, it sold them gradually at an average price of about $1,368. $62,000 turned into $273.6 million.
This early whale who acquired 100,000 ETH in the ICO has completed transferring all 5,000 ETH ($11.59 million) moved out 2 days ago to an exchange, as of 3 hours ago.
They sold 50,000 ETH at $5.47 each 10 years ago, and are now selling 5,000 ETH at $2,320 each. They spent $31,000 to acquire 100,000 ETH in the ICO 11 years ago, and still hold 45,000 ETH ($105 million).
◎An ancient whale subscribed for 100,000 ETH in the 2015 ICO at $0.311 per ETH, worth $31,000. ◎Half a year later (in 2016), they sold 50,000 ETH at $5.47 each ($274,000), making a 17x profit. ◎The other 50,000 ETH remained untouched until today, 11 years later, when they finally started moving: 5,000 ETH was transferred over the course of 2 hours, and 1,500 ETH ($3.45 million) has already entered a CEX.
ICO address: 0x6C67D6DB1d03516C128b8FF234bf3d49b26d2941 Address that transferred ETH today: 0x5A03703125380cfDA804446FdAa3b4064Cb6CC0a
Unbelievable—the hacker who stole around $40 million in assets from the UXLINK project last year is now holding a long position of 30,000 ETH on Hyperliquid! They went long on 30,282 ETH at $2,134 ($70.25 million), and are currently sitting on $5.62 million in unrealized profit.
◎Why do we say this is the hacker’s address? Because the address that funded the ETH long has a direct funding link to a known UXLINK hacker address: a month ago, the address that funded the ETH long and a known UXLINK hacker address both swept the remaining ETH in their wallets for gas into the same wallet on the same day.
◎After consolidating 11.54 million USDC from multiple sources in early August (a pattern consistent with money laundering), the hacker began trading ETH on Hyperliquid. And the results have been pretty impressive: 6 trades, 5 wins, for a total profit of $5.71 million.
Address with funding link: 0xe45642C1AE5d18eFF149dC5118e4Dc669e15bC26 ETH long address: 0xde8d9e530b0528ffa7b1190f862536c055dd9524
