ChainCatcher reports, citing CoinGlass data, that the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has posted negative readings for 46 consecutive days, most recently at -0.15%, as buying power in the U.S. market remains subdued.
Previously, on August 24, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index turned positive for the first time since May 19, reaching 0.0052% and briefly ending its longest-ever negative-premium streak of 97 consecutive days. The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index measures the price difference for Bitcoin between Coinbase Pro and Binance. A persistently negative reading generally means that Coinbase quotes are relatively lower, which may reflect weak buying or greater selling pressure in the U.S. market. However, this indicator alone should not be taken as direct evidence that institutional funds are flowing out.

ChainCatcher reports, citing Bloomberg, that as Democrats prepare to take control of the U.S. Congress, the political advantage the crypto industry previously enjoyed in Washington is facing a turning point. The industry may face stricter rules and closer scrutiny of its ties to Trump, while comprehensive crypto legislation will be harder to advance on the terms the industry originally favored. However, some of the policy gains the crypto industry has made may not be easy to reverse. For example, repealing federal stablecoin legislation would require new legislation; the SEC and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) can also continue their work on developing digital asset regulations.

ChainCatcher reports that b14g released a post-mortem on the security incident on October 31, 2026. It says the attacker exploited a compatibility flaw between its staking contract and Core Network’s native staking contract, submitting 99 zero-amount (0 CORE) withdrawal requests across 91 staking orders in a single transaction, resulting in the theft of approximately 97.05 million CORE. The attack did not involve a private key leak, nor did the attacker modify or deploy any new b14g contract code.
BTC staked through b14g was unaffected and remains locked on the Bitcoin blockchain. Regarding recovery of the funds, approximately 68.15 million CORE (about 70.2% of the total stolen) was recovered through a Core hard fork on November 2, and another approximately 12 million CORE has reportedly been frozen by trading platforms. For user compensation, b14g plans to return the recovered CORE within the next 5 to 7 days, in proportion to the original balances of each affected order. The remaining losses will be repaid using 50% of future revenue from Core staking operations, with affected users able to claim compensation weekly.

ChainCatcher reports that a criminal court in Paris, France, sentenced a Ukrainian man to five years in prison on Friday, including two years to be served and three years suspended. The man was accused of exploiting a vulnerability in the permissions of a company where he had previously worked to illegally mint and steal 1 billion Holograph (HLG) tokens between May and August 2024. At the time, the tokens were worth approximately $14 million.
The court found that the man had tampered with the platform's token-minting conditions to illegally mint an additional 1 billion HLG tokens and transfer them to a personal wallet. He then worked with two accomplices to distribute the funds across accounts on multiple cryptocurrency exchanges. His accomplices were sentenced to two years in prison, with 14 months suspended, and fined €80,000, and to a two-year suspended prison sentence and a €40,000 fine, respectively.

According to ChainCatcher, Gnosis Pay disclosed on November 6, 2026, that its payment card system was accessed without authorization on November 3, exposing some customer information. The company said it began containment within two hours of discovering the incident and has since replaced affected credentials and fixed the vulnerability. Customer funds were not affected.
The incident involved only Gnosis Pay’s branded payment card business; the enterprise platform supporting white-label payment projects was unaffected. Rotki founder Lefteris Karapetsas said the leaked information included his full name, home address, card number, and the cryptocurrency wallet address linked to his account. The number of affected customers and the full scope of the exposed information have not yet been disclosed.
