Bitcoin Core Discloses Tor Traffic Vulnerability That Let External Nodes Inherit “Trusted” Status Across Thousands of Nodes
Bitcoin Core disclosed a vulnerability in which Tor traffic bundled with Bitcoin Core by service providers was treated as local traffic. According to Odaily, Bitcoin News said on X that nodes with allowlists enabled consequently relaxed spam and privacy restrictions for external nodes, allowing them to inherit “trusted” status across thousands of nodes. The flaw was fixed in October 2025, and details were disclosed two weeks after Bitcoin Core ended support for the 29.x series. A separate high-severity vulnerability could prevent mining nodes from building valid blocks until they are restarted. No related attacks have been reported, and nodes without allowlists are unaffected.

STOCKS | Nvidia Director Sold Nearly $946 Million in Shares Without a 10b5-1 Plan Before Scandal Broke
Nvidia director and second-largest shareholder Mark Stevens sold about $946 million in company shares in three rounds before CEO Jensen Huang resigned on November 12. According to Sina Finance, SEC filings show Stevens did not use a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan and was among the largest insider sellers in the U.S. AI sector in the third quarter of 2026. Stevens sold $411 million in shares from August 31 to September 2 at $220 to $226 per share, about $236 million from September 3 to September 4 at $227 to $234 per share, and about $300 million on September 18 at around $220 per share. He still holds a large Nvidia stake. The first two sales followed the company’s release of its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results, after which its shares rose sharply over the following week. 10b5-1 plans let executives trade company shares according to preset dates or prices. The SEC introduced the system in 2000 and revised its rules in 2022, adding requirements including a cooling-off period. The article noted that Stevens’s decision not to use such a plan does not by itself indicate wrongdoing, and that insiders may sell shares for various reasons. Earlier reports alleged Huang had a relationship with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. On November 12, Nvidia’s board announced Huang’s resignation, praised his leadership, and named Colette Kress interim CEO. The board said it expected company operations, customer commitments, and the product roadmap to continue without disruption. Nvidia shares traded on November 13 and had fallen about 15% over recent trading sessions; the company’s market capitalization had also declined since early October.
Bitcoin News | SpaceX–Tesla Merger Talks Would Combine 30,220 Bitcoin Worth $2.1 Billion Under One Roof
SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk’s two largest companies, could announce a merger as soon as December, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. A deal would bring together about 30,220 bitcoin, worth roughly $2.1 billion.The boards and their advisers are working out terms and how the combined company would be run. The announcement could still slip into early 2027, according to the report.SpaceX Holds 18,712 BTC, Tesla 11,509SpaceX held 18,712 bitcoin at the end of September and Tesla held 11,509, according to their quarterly filings. Both companies reported the same balances as at the end of December 2025, meaning neither has bought or sold bitcoin this year.At Friday’s price near $69,000, the combined holding is worth about $2.1 billion.A Small Slice of a $3.4 Trillion GroupThe bitcoin would be a tiny part of the combined company. SpaceX is valued at more than $1.9 trillion after its June IPO, and Tesla at about $1.5 trillion, for a combined market value of about $3.4 trillion. The bitcoin would make up about 0.06% of that.A merger on its own would not require either company to buy more bitcoin. It would simply combine holdings already on their books.

XRP Ledger to Reset Testnet and Devnet on November 25
Ripple will reset the XRP Ledger’s Testnet and Devnet on November 25, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific Time, after a server crash left Testnet’s transaction-history infrastructure unable to recover. The reset will erase accounts, tokens, automated market makers, balances, transaction records and trading setups on both testing networks, according to BeInCrypto, and developers will need to rebuild them. Ripple is increasing storage capacity to help prevent similar problems; Mainnet and real XRP holdings and transactions will remain unaffected. Devnet was also reset in October 2025. XRP traded around $1.03 on November 12, after falling more than 15% in a week. There is no evidence linking the planned reset to the token’s recent losses, though discussion of the event could add uncertainty if traders mistake the testing networks for the main blockchain.

dYdX Plans v9.9 Upgrade to Shift USDC Backing From Noble to Injective
dYdX has opened an on-chain vote on a software upgrade to version 9.9 that would shift the backing for USDC on dYdX Chain from Noble USDC to Injective USDC. According to Foresight News, the dYdX Foundation said the vote will end on November 16 at 19:32. The upgrade would add a Canonical USDC module following Circle’s plan to discontinue USDC on Noble; the on-chain USDC token identifier and user balances would remain unchanged. After the migration begins, USDC deposits would only be accepted through Injective. Deposits from Noble, including CCTP transfers routed through Noble, would be rejected and returned. Withdrawals could go to either Noble or Injective, but not to other chains. Once the Noble-backed supply is cleared, withdrawals to Noble would be disabled with governance approval. Deposits and withdrawals would automatically pause if on-chain USDC is not fully backed, while trading would remain unaffected. If the vote passes, the upgrade is expected to be completed around November 18 at 01:00.

MANTRA Pauses Unstaking for 7 Days After Keplr Security Incident; Ongoing Unstakes Must Be Redelegated
MANTRA will suspend all unstaking transactions for seven days following a security incident involving Web3Auth and Keplr, and users with unstaking in progress must redelegate their tokens. According to Foresight News, the pause will be reviewed when the seven-day period ends, and MANTRA may extend it. The incident involved leaked private keys that allowed hackers to steal users’ unstaked MANTRA tokens and initiate unstaking of staked tokens without their consent. The suspension does not affect unstaking already in progress; affected users must redelegate before the eight-day unstaking period ends to prevent hackers from claiming the tokens and transferring them to addresses users cannot control. After redelegation, further unstaking will be paused during the freeze. MANTRA previously froze several hacker wallets through Governance Proposal No. 41. The private-key leak stemmed from a vulnerability in Web3Auth infrastructure and affected some Keplr wallets in the Cosmos ecosystem whose users logged in through Google or Apple.
ETF News | Bitcoin ETFs Swing to $1.56 Billion in 2026 Outflows After Losing $2.6 Billion in Two Weeks
US spot bitcoin ETFs, widely seen as a measure of institutional demand, have swung into net outflows for 2026. They are now down $1.56 billion for the year, according to SoSoValue data analyzed by CoinDesk.The reversal came quickly. On October 29, the funds were up about $1.01 billion for the year. A $643.3 million outflow on October 30 alone cut that to $368 million, and two heavy weeks of withdrawals since then pushed the total negative.Two Weeks of Heavy OutflowsWeekNet flowsWeek to October 30−$202.6 millionWeek to November 6−$1.28 billionNovember 9–12−$643.6 millionFrom October 30 to Thursday, the funds lost about $2.57 billion (calculated).Close to a Record Year for Large OutflowsThis is the 12th week of 2026 with net outflows above $500 million. There were 15 such weeks in all of 2025 and four in 2024. Four more in the last six weeks of the year would make 2026 a record.That’s a sharp change from the past two years, when spot bitcoin ETFs took in $21.37 billion in 2025 and $35.24 billion in 2024.Outflows Add to the Price SlideCoinDesk said the rapid redemptions help explain the latest market drop. Bitcoin fell below $70,000 early on Friday, its lowest since August, and later slipped below its 200-week moving average near $68,000.The outflows have come alongside other pressures: a stronger US dollar, with the Dollar Index above 103; US 10-year Treasury yields above 5%; and more than $1.3 billion in crypto liquidations over 24 hours.

STOCKS | Jensen Huang Needs His Wife’s Consent to Sell Nvidia Shares
Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang cannot freely dispose of his 3.58% stake in the company; his wife, Lori Huang, shares control over the sale of shares held in family trusts. According to Sina Finance, a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the 12th showed that the couple indirectly held assets through a trust established in 1995 and several other entities, including the Jensen Huang-Lori Huang Living Trust, two irrevocable trusts and six limited liability companies. As of March 23, Huang was associated with 870.6 million Nvidia shares. Of those, 669 million were held in three family trusts for which the couple were co-trustees, sharing authority over sales and shareholder votes. Huang held 70.1 million shares directly, valued at about $12 billion. Lori Huang chairs the couple’s foundation, while Huang serves as its secretary and chief financial officer. At the end of 2024, the foundation had assets of about $9.2 billion, including 58.7 million Nvidia shares. Media reports say Lori Huang separately manages another trust holding Nvidia shares worth about $5 billion. U.S. media have described the trust structure as making Huang’s asset management more complicated, while market analysis considers a concentrated sale by the couple that would sharply depress Nvidia shares unlikely. Without a prenuptial agreement, Lori Huang could receive assets worth as much as $75 billion to $77.5 billion in a divorce. Withers attorney Leslie Evans said sale restrictions would remain even if trust shares were divided, and one option would be for Huang to keep the shares and compensate his wife with cash or other assets. Lori Huang has not made any statement about a separation or divorce. Media reports also say Huang forfeited about $108 million in equity compensation when he left Nvidia; the award was conditional on continued employment and expired upon his departure. Media estimates put his total wealth at about $144.5 billion.

According to ChainCatcher citing CNN, people close to U.S. Vice President JD Vance say he is seriously considering not running for president in 2028 after last week’s disastrous midterm elections. Vance has not made a decision or set a timetable, and a presidential bid remains an option. Interviews with roughly a dozen allies and advisers indicate that Vance is weighing his political ambitions, fractures in the MAGA coalition and his responsibilities as a father. They said he is committed to rebuilding the movement that won in 2024 but is unsure whether he should lead it. One person said they would not be surprised by any decision. At 42, Vance could try again later if the current political climate makes success impossible, the person added. Some allies say he is more likely to run than not.

Ignas: Bitcoin Faces a Crisis of Confidence, Not a Price Crash
DeFi researcher Ignas said Bitcoin is facing a crisis of confidence rather than merely a price decline. According to Odaily, Ignas said Bitcoin’s store-of-value (SoV) narrative is closely tied to its price, and continued declines are weakening belief in that narrative. Many investors had viewed $58,000 as the market bottom, but Bitcoin failed to rebound while AI stocks recovered first, further hurting sentiment and redirecting dip-buying funds toward AI stocks rather than crypto. Ignas said the crypto community, which previously voiced strong optimism during Bitcoin downturns, has grown unusually quiet, and some early Bitcoin believers have started buying ZEC or PRL as hedges. Stablecoin outflows and the possibility that Strategy could be removed from MSCI indexes have added to market concerns. Some altcoins have held up better than Bitcoin, but Bitcoin’s weakness continues to weigh on the broader market.

AI TRENDS | Elon Musk Tightens AI Focus as SpaceX Cuts Most Grok Imagine R&D Staff
SpaceX’s AI team has cut most of the research and development staff working on Grok Imagine, its image- and video-generation tool, people familiar with the matter said. According to Sina Finance, about 60 employees associated with Grok Imagine were laid off last week, leaving a small team to keep the product running. The tool remains usable, but its future is uncertain without a dedicated development team. People familiar with the matter said SpaceX shifted its priorities toward AI coding tools and Grok Bot agents after acquiring Musk’s AI company xAI in February in a stock deal valued at $250 billion. In August, SpaceX spent $60 billion to acquire AI coding startup Cursor as part of the shift. The move resembles OpenAI’s earlier change in direction. OpenAI shut down its Sora video-generation tool earlier this year because of high computing costs and refocused on enterprise business and AI coding applications. In March, Musk wrote on X that the next version of Grok Imagine would amaze people and that the company would invest more in it. Before the layoffs, Grok was one of the few U.S. projects still training video-generation models in-house; Google and Meta also have their own tools. An independent leaderboard ranked Grok Imagine Video 1.5, released in June, 17th for image-to-video generation and 16th for text-to-video generation. SpaceX’s IPO filing said the system generated more than 2 million videos per month on average in the quarter that included March. In July, Musk said Grok Imagine would produce a full-length AI film based on Homer’s Odyssey, promising historical accuracy and fidelity to the original style. A clip of the first seven minutes, released last month, drew negative reviews.
Mysten Labs Co-Founder Sees Sui AI Agent Activity Rising Sharply Over the Next Year as Google Cloud Joins
According to ChainCatcher, Mysten Labs co-founder and original Sui contributor Evan Cheng said on the New Era Finance Podcast that AI agents are beginning to trade and manage funds autonomously, while existing internet identity and trust systems are struggling to keep pace. He expects substantial AI agent activity on Sui over the next year and said the network aims to serve as a coordination layer for the AI agent economy. Mysten Labs and Google Cloud have jointly developed Verifiable Agent Arbiter, which uses Sui and Walrus to anchor proofs of agent actions so enterprises, auditors and regulators can independently check whether agents exceeded their authority. The tool can also integrate with Sui Agent Payments and the x402 protocol for agent payments. Sui’s AI agent infrastructure includes Move, PTB, Walrus, Seal and Sphere, covering permissions management, atomic transactions, verifiable storage and confidential collaboration.
South Korea’s Digital Asset Basic Act Set for Final Draft in Early January, Proposes Presidential Committee
South Korea’s Digital Asset Basic Act is expected to be finalized in early January next year, with lawmakers seeking to complete legislation before U.S. stablecoin rules are expected to take effect on January 18 next year. According to Odaily, Democratic Party lawmaker Min Byung-deok said discussion of key issues could begin as early as next week, with industry participants and experts expected to take part over the following two months. He opposed requiring banks to hold 50% plus one share of a stablecoin issuer, and instead backed rules focused on issuer conduct and safety, including 100% reserve assets, immediate redemption, anti-money laundering measures and customer identity checks. The proposals also include delaying digital asset taxation by two years, to 2029, allowing investment losses to offset gains over the following three years, and establishing a digital asset committee directly under the president to coordinate industry policy.

XXAntiWar: This Year’s Profits Came Mainly From Storage Stocks and HYPE Trades; Biggest Losses From ZEC Shorts
Crypto KOL XXAntiWar said the two largest losses this year came from ZEC short positions, both of which were voluntarily closed to limit losses. According to Odaily, XXAntiWar wrote on X that holding either position longer could have led to liquidation. XXAntiWar said most of the past few months were spent trading ZEC, which generated a net profit of about $20,000. The main sources of profit this year were buying dips in storage-sector stocks and swing trading HYPE. XXAntiWar recalled expecting ZEC to fall from $1,200 to $800, but the price later rose to $1,600. By the time it retreated to just above $800, XXAntiWar no longer held a short position. XXAntiWar said futures traders should not hold losing positions or keep adding margin, and cautioned that oversized positions and excessive leverage limit room to adjust. Traders should be prepared to lose all funds placed in a futures account.

CEOs Once Seen as Irreplaceable Eventually Leave, as Apple, Uber and Nissan Show
Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, has suddenly lost a leader closely tied to its fortunes, but it is not the first company to face the departure of a central executive. According to Sina Finance, investors call the resulting exposure “key-person risk,” and some companies have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in market value after senior leaders left. Apple lost co-founder Steve Jobs, who died of cancer; McDonald’s fired Steve Easterbrook over an improper relationship with a subordinate; and Nissan removed Carlos Ghosn as chairman in 2018 after his arrest in Tokyo on allegations including underreporting income. One exception was Wynn Resorts: its shares rose 8% the day after founder Steve Wynn resigned following sexual misconduct allegations. Leadership experts say companies may recover faster when successors are experienced operators willing to make difficult changes. Spencer Stuart’s James Citrin said credibility is key and there is no universal succession plan. At Apple, Tim Cook eased doubts through a more cautious management approach and launched dividends and share buybacks in 2012. Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld said Cook could consult experienced CEOs on Apple’s board, including Bob Iger of Disney and Mickey Drexler of Gap, while Nvidia’s current directors lack comparable long-term experience running public companies. Uber appointed Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi in 2017 amid multiple crises following Travis Kalanick’s resignation. Khosrowshahi was tasked with repairing the company’s culture and preparing for a 2019 IPO while curbing billions of dollars in losses. He built a management team and later made further changes after the IPO underperformed expectations. Ghosn’s 2018 departure left Renault and Nissan with a power vacuum, talent losses and internal disputes. Renault has had three CEOs since 2019, while Nissan has undergone repeated leadership and strategy changes, including the collapse of a proposed merger with Honda. The Renault-Nissan alliance remains, but its terms have been revised; Sonnenfeld said both companies have distanced themselves from Ghosn.
