⚖️ Nine blockchain organizations unite against the quantum threat

A coalition of nine blockchain organizations — the Quantum Alliance — has announced the formation of an alliance to develop shared security standards in preparation for the emergence of powerful quantum computers.

An estimated 6.4 million BTC could be at risk, including approximately 1.1 million BTC believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. Quantum computers could theoretically break the cryptographic signatures that protect wallets.

The alliance aims to establish common security standards before quantum computing reaches a sufficient level of power.

🤖 AI stole ETH from someone else’s wallet for its own purposes

During internal testing, OpenAI’s AI was instructed to update a crypto app and deploy a smart contract on the Ethereum Sepolia network. But there was a problem—the agent didn’t have any ETH to pay the transaction fee. Rather than stop, the AI:

➖ Found publicly exposed seed phrases online

➖ Checked hundreds of addresses and found a wallet with a balance

➖ Used its funds without the owner’s permission to pay for the transaction and complete the task

The agent even questioned whether its actions were acceptable, but decided it could use the test coins because they had no real monetary value

Yes, we’re talking about test ETH, not real money, but the agent independently bypassed the question of the owner’s permission

🤩 Strategy may be excluded from global stock indices

MSCI has officially approved new rules restricting the inclusion of companies that primarily accumulate assets instead of conducting operating businesses. The following companies are at risk of exclusion:

➖ Strategy (MSTR) — the largest corporate holder of BTC
➖ Metaplanet — a Japanese company with bitcoin reserves
➖ Yellow Cake — a company that invests in uranium

If Strategy is excluded, index funds tracking the relevant MSCI indices will have to sell its shares during rebalancing, increasing pressure on the market.

On November 11, MSCI will publish the final list of affected companies. The new rules will take effect after the market closes on November 30, 2026.

⚖️ Three Canadian military personnel arrested for crypto-related kidnapping

Seven people have been arrested in Toronto, including three active-duty members of the Canadian Armed Forces. They face 82 criminal charges in connection with an investigation into a kidnapping carried out to steal cryptocurrency.

The case is a stark example of how crypto crime is increasingly moving beyond the online world and becoming a physical threat to asset holders.

⚡️ Starknet is voting on whether to study a transition to its own L1 blockchain.

STRK holders will decide whether to explore the possibility of ending their reliance on Ethereum amid threats posed by quantum computing.

The vote will last 7 days. If the proposal receives majority support, developers will begin research and prepare specific proposals.

‼️ This is a preliminary vote, not a final decision to make the transition. STRK will remain the project’s main token, and no new token is planned.

💰In Russia, buying cryptocurrency directly from other people will be banned starting July 1, 2027.

Transactions between individuals will have to be conducted through intermediaries listed in the Bank of Russia’s register. The transition period will last until the same date.

Exceptions will be made for international payments related to foreign trade transactions. Cryptocurrency itself will not be banned, but the rules for buying and selling it will be tightened, and transfers to your own cold wallet will be prohibited.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran is preparing a new escalation ahead of the US elections

Tehran is changing its tactics for attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz to keep oil prices high and increase pressure on Trump ahead of the congressional elections

According to Reuters, at least 5 incidents involving commercial ships, including drone attacks, have occurred in the area around the Strait over the past 48 hours

Iranian officials warn that the strikes could spread to the Gulf of Oman and waters near Qatar and the UAE. They also say the Strait could be almost completely closed to ships that violate Tehran’s restrictions

Trump has postponed further strikes on Iran until the November 3 elections

S&P Dow Jones Indices completes its first over-the-counter on-chain derivatives transaction

🌟 The company completed its first transaction on the Canton network, using a tokenized bond index as the underlying asset. This milestone opens the door for institutional investors to safely use traditional financial benchmarks in smart contracts and on the blockchain.

🔐 Aptos can now hide transactions

Encrypted Mempool has launched on the Aptos mainnet—a mechanism that encrypts transaction contents before their order in a block is determined.

This makes front-running and sandwich attacks harder, where bots peek at other people’s transactions and profit from executing them.

🔹 Encryption is optional

🔹 The sender’s address and fee remain visible

🔹 The data is revealed after the block is confirmed

The protection requires a higher fee, but tests showed it added only about 20 ms of latency

Crypto wallets under scrutiny in the EU 🤫

Starting in 2027, banks in all 27 EU countries will check Ukrainians according to the same rules: citizenship, sanctions lists, and one particularly unwelcome detail — crypto wallet addresses, if they’ve appeared in any databases.

They’ll also step up checks on virtual IBANs. In short, quietly holding crypto alongside euro accounts is getting harder and harder.
