ChainCatcher reports that Linda Xie, co-founder of Scalar Capital and former Coinbase product lead, reviewed her personal angel investments over nearly the past 10 years, saying she invested in 50 companies, 60% of them in crypto, 10% in AI, and the rest across other industries.
So far, 6 investments have returned more than their initial investment, all from the crypto sector: 5 through token warrants and 1 through equity. However, none of them individually recouped the investment in the entire portfolio. The investment with the highest paper return, far exceeding the others, is an AI company; if it can be monetized, its returns could theoretically cover the cost of the entire portfolio.

ChainCatcher reports, citing Bloomberg, that demonstrations against data center expansion continued across Europe on November 7. RTE said around 2,000 people took part in a march in Dublin, while YLE reported that around 1,300 people gathered in Helsinki, with protests also taking place in several small Finnish towns. In Helsinki, demonstrators marched to Google’s offices and the parliament building. The Stop Dirty Data Centres coalition, made up of local democracy and climate action groups, said the demonstrations aimed to stop the unchecked expansion of AI data centers.
Groups from Scotland, Spain, France, Denmark, and elsewhere took part, calling for a pause in construction until the public can determine through democratic processes how such projects should serve society and the environment. The previous Friday, hundreds of protesters clashed with police at a Microsoft data center in Amsterdam, and one person was arrested. As technology companies pour hundreds of billions of dollars into building AI infrastructure, concerns among local residents are growing over demand for land and electricity, rising energy costs, and whether local communities will benefit economically. Ireland has become one of Europe’s major data center hubs. According to the country’s official statistics agency, data centers accounted for 23% of Ireland’s total metered electricity consumption in 2025.

ChainCatcher reports that, according to Gate market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $75,953.19, up 0.09% over the past 24 hours. CoinGlass data shows that the BTC open-interest-weighted funding rate is 0.0087% and the trading-volume-weighted funding rate is 0.0081%, both remaining in the neutral range. The ETH open-interest-weighted funding rate has risen to 0.0068%, while the trading-volume-weighted funding rate has risen to 0.0064%; both are in the neutral range, and bearish sentiment has eased further.
CoinGlass standardizes funding rates across platforms to an 8-hour basis. Funding rates are a mechanism for exchanging payments between long and short positions to keep perpetual contract prices close to spot prices. The benchmark rate is 0.01%: a rate above 0.01% indicates a bullish market bias, while a rate below 0.005% indicates a bearish market bias.

ChainCatcher reported that Binance co-CEO He Yi said that, in response to a user who transferred the wrong cryptocurrency while using two separate apps, Binance is legally unable to transfer funds directly from another person’s account. She will personally compensate the user for the losses caused by the mistaken transfer.
He Yi explained that, for historical compliance reasons, Binance has three completely independent locally developed platforms, whose product architectures and business models differ from those of the main platform and which primarily handle local fiat currency trading. To prevent similar incidents from happening again, Binance will add three confirmation steps to payment transfers. He Yi also said that public discussion drives ongoing improvements, and expressed hope that industry peers would pay as much attention to their own users as they do to Binance. She invited users to share product suggestions in the comments. The campaign will run for one week, and the product team will select the 10 best suggestions, with each winner receiving 1 BNB.

ChainCatcher reported that Meta Financial AI posted on X that when exchanges face major crises, their platform tokens are often the first to be hit. It cited the price performance of tokens following security incidents at FTX, WazirX, and Bitget as examples. Binance suffered a $6.3 billion hack on October 29, the largest hack in the history of the crypto industry and roughly 16 times the losses Bitget suffered in its previous attack. Yet over the past 30 days, including the period when the hack occurred, SOL, XRP, ETH, BTC, and BNB fell by 18.3%, 16%, 9.7%, 7.4%, and 5.7%, respectively, making BNB the asset with the smallest decline.

According to ChainCatcher, Keplr Wallet said that a vulnerability in Web3Auth’s infrastructure led to the leakage of private keys for some Keplr users who logged in through Google or Apple. Users who created their wallets using a recovery phrase or hardware wallet are unaffected.
Keplr is assisting Web3Auth in protecting the assets of affected users, and work is ongoing. Handling staked and locked assets is more complex and will take longer. Some accounts created through Google or Apple login may already show reduced or zero balances as a result of the risk mitigation measures described above.
Keplr warns that users who created accounts by logging in through Google or Apple may be affected. They should stop transferring new funds to those accounts and move any remaining liquid assets to accounts created using a recovery phrase or hardware wallet. The two parties are working on a way for users to check whether their accounts are affected. Users should trust updates only from the official Keplr and Web3Auth accounts, and ignore direct messages and links claiming to “recover assets.”

ChainCatcher reports that UFC CEO Dana White said he plans to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday to discuss Trump's offer for him to become the next White House press secretary. Trump said in a social media post on Saturday that he had offered White the position, though it remains unclear whether the UFC chief will accept.
Asked about the possibility, White said at a UFC press conference: “I already have plenty of work to do.” A person close to the UFC chief revealed that Trump had previously offered White the position as well. Trump's social media post suggests that, after Republicans suffered sweeping losses in the midterm elections, he is preparing for what could be a fierce political battle over the next two years. He said he needs the UFC chief and his team to “help us fight off the crazy left.”

ChainCatcher reports that ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood said she does not believe the results of this U.S. midterm election will derail the AI revolution. She said market uncertainty is understandable, but the economy is on a stronger growth trajectory than most investors realize.
She said the stock market began pricing in the possibility of a prolonged war with Iran and a Democratic sweep in the elections as early as May and June. Rising oil and gasoline prices have also added to pressure on consumers’ cost of living. Voters focused on household finances made the congressional election results more conservative than the headlines suggested.
