Don’t focus only on points: what’s really worth watching in these 3 early-stage projects today
# Don’t focus only on points: what’s really worth watching in these 3 early-stage projects today Today, we’re looking at TxFlow, Axis Robotics, and ELYSIA: one just changed its points rules, one has provided a clear community allocation for the first time, and one will announce its new-season policy in two days. They’re worth watching now because all three have verifiable milestones—not just vague rumors that there “might be an airdrop.” The biggest risks are also clear: fees and liquidation tied to trading points, anti-Sybil filtering on the contribution leaderboard, and jumping the gun before the new rules are announced. ## TxFlow: The rules just changed—first, verify how “real trading” is actually scored
South Korea takes action: 27 unregistered exchange websites blocked domestically, including KuCoin and MEXC
1. On October 13, South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) announced that, following two rounds of review on October 6–7, the Broadcast Media Communications Review Committee had decided to block access within South Korea to the websites of 27 virtual asset operators that had not registered under the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information. (Operators with servers in South Korea will have their services terminated directly.) 2. The list includes KuCoin, MEXC, Phemex, XT.com, Bitrue, CoinW, Poloniex, BTCC, BitMart, BingX, DigiFinex, and Pionex, among others. 3. The apps for these platforms had already been barred from new downloads and updates in South Korean Google and Apple stores. This latest action extends the restrictions to their websites. Going forward, authorities will apply to block sites as soon as they are found, even without victim reports, and will continue to track replacement sites operating under new domain names. 4. Whether a platform is considered to be “targeting South Korean users” is determined mainly by three factors: whether it offers Korean-language services, markets specifically to South Korea, and supports Korean won trading. There are currently 28 operators legally registered in South Korea, and the FIU has referred a total of 44 noncompliant operators to investigative authorities. 5. Regulators acknowledge that existing users may have difficulty withdrawing their assets and will coordinate with the Digital Asset eXchange Alliance (DAXA) to provide withdrawal guidance.
Markets were also weak that day: according to CoinGlass, liquidations across the crypto market totaled about $774 million over the past 24 hours, around 89% of which were long positions. $BTC fell about 2.7% to around $81,600, while $ETH was around $2,430.
If you use any of these platforms in South Korea, it’s advisable to check your assets promptly and follow official guidance. For informational purposes only; this is not investment advice. DYOR. Use official channels only, and don’t click unfamiliar claim links.
【Follow-up】Ledger/CryptoBilis incident: On-chain tracking shows about $93 million; Tether has frozen about $10 million in $USDT
1. Analytics firm Bitquery says wallets associated with Ledger devices sold through Southeast Asian authorized reseller CryptoBilis had about $93.2 million transferred out (315 addresses across 6 chains), mostly in $USDT and Tron-based assets. Other firms have given higher estimates; Ledger has not officially confirmed the total losses. 2. Bitquery says Tether has frozen about $10 million in the $USDT involved in the incident. As of October 11, about $81 million was still traceable on-chain, with some funds moved through mixing routes. 3. Ledger confirmed that at least one device had an unauthorized hardware implant and advised users not to initialize unused CryptoBilis devices; those who have already used theirs should consider switching to a new device and using a completely new recovery phrase.

Don't just focus on points: the key milestones to watch for these 3 projects today
# Don't just focus on points: the key milestones to watch for these 3 projects today Today, we're looking at **Genius, Axis Robotics, and TxFlow**: one has reached the selection deadline for existing users, one has just put contributor allocations and leaderboard cleanup on the table, and one has published its weekly points rules for the first time. Why now: all three have seen verifiable new developments in the past 48 hours—not vague rumors about what might happen someday. The biggest risks also differ: Genius involves an irreversible choice, Axis involves recalculating the leaderboard, while TxFlow involves real trading costs and liquidation risk.
$XRP spot ETFs buck the trend with 13 consecutive weeks of inflows: Three major funds saw combined outflows of about $1.25 billion last week
Last week (through October 9), flows into U.S. spot crypto ETFs diverged sharply:
1. $BTC ETFs saw net outflows of about $681.1 million, ending a three-week streak of net inflows; 2. $ETH ETFs saw net outflows of about $542.1 million, their weakest week since January, with outflows on all five trading days; 3. Solana spot ETFs saw net outflows of about $24.81 million, ending a 14-week streak of net inflows; 4. Over the same period, $XRP ETFs saw net inflows of about $11.31 million, marking their 13th consecutive week of net inflows (less than 1% of the combined outflows from the three funds above).
Source: SoSoValue (compiled by CryptoSlate). Net inflows do not guarantee price increases; XRP ETFs’ net assets still fell along with market capitalization that week.

Ledger Confirms Hardware Implant: Supply-Chain Risk for CryptoBilis-Sourced Devices Escalates to Physical Tampering
Hardware wallet maker Ledger has confirmed that an unauthorized hardware implant was found inside an affected user’s device purchased from Southeast Asian authorized reseller CryptoBilis. The company says its own infrastructure, systems, and services were not compromised, and the incident currently appears to be concentrated at the reseller and in its market.
1. On-chain investigator Specter estimates related losses may exceed $86 million (involving $BTC , $ETH , $TRX , etc.), but Ledger has not yet verified the total amount or the number of affected users. 2. CryptoBilis has suspended all hardware wallet sales and is cooperating with the investigation. 3. Ledger advises users not to unbox and set up CryptoBilis devices that have not been initialized. Users who have already set up their devices should consider moving their assets to a new device using a fresh recovery phrase.

Don’t Focus Only on Points: What’s Really Worth Noticing About These 3 Early-Stage Projects Today
# Don’t Focus Only on Points: What’s Really Worth Noticing About These 3 Early-Stage Projects Today Today, we’re looking at Flop Labs, QUADRA², and Zentrix Gaming: one has a 90-day testnet launch approaching, one has just opened a free incentivized testnet, and one has entered the eligibility conversion period for existing users. Why look at them now: each has a clear testnet launch window, an actionable new testing environment, or post-snapshot mainnet/conversion milestones—not just community speculation. Key risks: Flop’s hardware and penalty costs have not yet been quantified, QUADRA² has made no commitment to redeem XP, and Zentrix’s exact deadline and conversion fees need to be verified individually.
U.S.-listed crypto ETFs saw combined net outflows of about $1.25 billion last week, with spot BTC/ETH/SOL products all under pressure.
1. $BTC spot ETFs recorded weekly net outflows of about $681 million, ending a three-week streak of net inflows; they saw a modest inflow of about $21.1 million on Friday. 2. $ETH spot ETFs recorded weekly net outflows of about $542.1 million, their worst week since January this year. Net outflows over nine consecutive trading days totaled about $697 million, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for roughly 80% of this week's outflows. 3. Spot Solana ETFs saw weekly net outflows of about $24.8 million, ending their 14-week streak of net inflows since launch.

XRP Ledger disclosed a decade-old vulnerability: it could have been used to mint additional $XRP beyond the supply cap
1. Official disclosure (around 10/9): An integer overflow in the payment engine (traceable to around 2015) meant a specially crafted DEX offer combined with a payment could mint spendable $XRP beyond the 100 billion supply cap. 2. An emergency fix was deployed in xrpld 3.4.1 on 9/25 and took effect immediately; no evidence of exploitation on the public network has been found (according to RippleX/official reports). 3. Node operators should confirm they have upgraded to ≥3.4.1. Trust only official channels; don't click unfamiliar links.

Don’t just focus on points: key developments at 3 early-stage projects today
# Don’t just focus on points: key developments at 3 early-stage projects today Today, we’re looking at Extended, Limitless, and Titan Exchange: the first two are entering the final stretch of their points seasons, while the first points from Titan’s first week have just been credited. They’re worth watching now not because they “might launch a token,” but because the rules, deadlines, and verifiable data have all changed at the same time. The risks also differ: Extended and Limitless can result in real trading losses; Titan uses test assets, but there is no guaranteed exchange rate between points and future benefits. ## Extended **In a nutshell:** “The Final Arc” isn’t just another regular weekly competition; it’s officially designated as the final Xpoints allocation, and the old weekly epochs have ended.
Thailand SEC gives the green light: $BTC / $ETH ETF rules take effect October 16
Southeast Asia’s compliance pathway has taken another step forward. According to reports from The Block and others, Thailand’s SEC has officially issued a regulatory framework for crypto ETFs, effective October 16:
1. Initially, ETFs may track only $BTC or $ETH . They must passively track a single asset, with an average annual net exposure of at least 80% of net asset value. 2. They may be listed and traded only on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), and custody must be provided by an SEC-regulated digital asset custodian. 3. Investors must acknowledge the risks before purchasing; brokers may not offer leveraged financing to buy ETFs. 4. Note: October 16 is the date the rules take effect. It does not mean products will be available that day—they must still be approved for issuance by asset management companies.
For those looking to allocate to $BTC /$ETH through a regulated route, there’s now a local securities-based option; on-chain and spot trading remain other mainstream channels.

Starknet announces it is “seriously considering” breaking away from Ethereum and becoming an independent L1
1. The official account confirmed that, if implemented, the goal would be to become the first fully quantum-resistant network, with 2027 in its sights. 2. StarkWare founder Eli Ben-Sasson said the pressure that quantum computing and AI could put on cryptography may arrive sooner. Becoming an independent L1 would let Starknet advance security upgrades on its own, without having to wait for $ETH L1 (the official estimate is around the end of 2029). 3. Key point: this is currently “under consideration.” There is no governance proposal or vote yet, so a migration has not been decided. 4. Market-wise: according to CoinDesk, $STRK rose about 30% in the roughly 24 hours after the news. Volatility is high—don’t FOMO.

Ethereum researcher calls for “bunker mode”: Could AI threaten wallet signatures before quantum computers do? Don’t panic—here are the key points 👇
1. On October 7, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake called on the industry to “calmly start planning for bunker mode”: orderly migration of assets to new addresses that have never signed a transaction and whose public keys have not been exposed on-chain, with large holders going first. 2. His concern: AI is accelerating mathematical research, and the ECDSA signature algorithm used by Bitcoin and $ETH wallets could be broken before “Q-Day.” In the worst-case scenario, this could happen in “months, not years.” By “broken,” he means recovering a private key in about a week using existing hardware, such as a large GPU cluster. 3. The key fact: There are currently no publicly known attacks that can derive a private key from a public key. Drake himself also stressed that this is about “preparation, not panic”; rushing to migrate could do more harm than good. 4. Vitalik’s view: AI’s risks to cryptography should be taken seriously, but he doesn’t recommend that anyone rush to move funds today. If convenient, simply keep your funds in an address you haven’t used before. 5. Markets were weak around the same time: $BTC fell below $83,000, and about $550 million in leveraged positions were liquidated. Rising oil prices and Treasury yields were the main sources of pressure.
⚠️ Scam alert: Scammers are especially likely to exploit topics like this. Claims such as “officials require you to migrate your wallet” or “upgrade to a quantum-resistant address with one click” are almost always phishing attempts. Block anyone who asks for your recovery phrase or private key. Only migrate using official features in your own wallet.

Samsung Wallet is adding USDC: 82 million Galaxy devices in the US, with zero network fees for transfers 👀
1. Samsung’s official press release says Samsung Wallet will roll out stablecoin features to eligible Galaxy users in the US starting in the last week of October, reaching around 82 million devices. $USDC will be the first supported stablecoin. 2. For its on-chain infrastructure, Samsung named partners including Solana and Sui. Sui’s official blog says Samsung Wallet selected Sui, and USDC can be sent through Sui’s gas-free stablecoin transfers, so users don’t need to buy $SUI in advance to pay fees. 3. Note: At launch, only USDC will be supported. The wallet won’t support the SUI token itself, so don’t take this as “Samsung buying SUI.” 4. Custody will be handled by licensed institution Bastion, with Coinbase as sub-custodian (Coinbase Prime Vault). Use requires a Samsung account, identity verification, and biometrics. 5. Tap-to-pay in stores and online, as well as expansion to more countries, may come later—but that depends on regulatory progress in each region.
My take: This is a concrete step toward stablecoins “entering people’s phones,” and it’s a plus for the payments narratives around Sui and Solana. But short-term token prices and actual usage should be viewed separately. The broader market is weak right now, so don’t chase prices.

Still farming Abstract points for an airdrop? Read this first: the Abstract chain is shutting down
1. Igloo, the parent company of Pudgy Penguins, announced that Abstract, an Ethereum L2 network, will cease operations on December 15. Any assets that haven’t been bridged out by then will become inaccessible. 2. The official exit options are the migration hub or the native bridge. Withdrawals via the native bridge take about 3 hours, so it’s best to act early and confirm that your assets have arrived on the destination chain. 3. CEO Luca Netz said the team has lost “tens of millions of dollars” on the chain and has explicitly decided not to issue a token for Abstract. Resources will be redirected to Pudgy Penguins and $PENGU . 4. This is the second Ethereum L2 to announce a shutdown in a week, following Blast. According to CoinDesk, about $76 million in assets remain on the Abstract chain. On the day the news spread, $OP fell by about 10%, leading losses among L2 tokens.
Key takeaway: Airdrop channels are still promoting “Abstract points + token” tasks today, and the hype is high. Since the official team says it won’t issue a token, there’s little point in continuing to interact with the chain. Links claiming to offer Abstract tokens or compensation are likely phishing scams.

Don’t Just Focus on Points: What’s Really Worth Noting About These 3 Early-Stage Projects Today
# Don’t Just Focus on Points: What’s Really Worth Noting About These 3 Early-Stage Projects Today Today we’re looking at Quip Network, PERPTools, and Titan Exchange: one has tied real trades to points, one has just completed a season reset, and one has just opened its privacy-focused perpetuals testnet. They’re worth watching now because all three reached verifiable milestones between October 1 and 5—not just because of community rumors. The biggest risks are also clear: the points have no disclosed redemption terms, transaction costs may exceed their value, and Titan has yet to confirm any incentives. ## Quip Network **Key takeaway:** QuipSwap has moved from “completing social tasks” to “scoring real product activity”—a better test of whether people are actually using the project than simple daily check-ins.
Tonight at 20:00, Binance Spot lists 4 more tokenized stocks—bStocks. JPMorgan is joining too.
1. New trading pairs: JPMB/USDT (JPMorgan Chase), LLYB/USDT (Eli Lilly), SECZB/USDT (Securitize), and USDEB/USDT (StablecoinX). Trading opens on October 7 at 20:00 (UTC+8), and withdrawals open at 21:00. 2. Spot Algo Orders bots will be available as soon as trading opens, while Rebalancing Bots will go live within 24 hours of listing. 3. Within one hour of listing, you can swap $BTC , $USDT, and more for bStocks with zero fees in Convert. 4. Maker fees for these 4 trading pairs are zero through October 31 at 23:59 (UTC), which is November 1 at 07:59 (UTC+8).
A quick reminder: This morning, $BTC briefly fell below $84,000, and about $400 million in long positions were liquidated within an hour. Newly listed assets are usually more volatile at launch, so avoid high leverage and start small while you get familiar with the rules.

Solana Foundation launches Solana DvP: institutional trades settle on-chain in “seconds,” with input from JPMorgan 👀
On October 6, the Solana Foundation released the open-source Solana DvP (Delivery versus Payment) program. Key points: 1. Assets and funds are delivered simultaneously and “atomically” on-chain: either both succeed or both fail. Settlement time is reduced from days to seconds, lowering counterparty risk. 2. It is positioned as a standardized solution aimed at replacing the custom settlement contracts institutions build individually, and serving tokenized assets on Solana. 3. JPMorgan contributed its settlement expertise, helping define requirements such as deadlines, custody segregation, and Token-2022 extensions commonly used by regulated issuers (such as pausable tokens and transfer hooks). 4. The Foundation says the program has passed an external security audit and is ready for use with real funds. Plans include adding privacy features so institutional settlements can remain confidential.
A quick take: This kind of infrastructure won’t directly affect prices, but it fills a key gap for bringing tokenized securities/RWAs on-chain. The progress of institutional adoption across the $SOL ecosystem is worth watching.
