South Korea plans to let crypto exchanges suspend deposits and withdrawals when they suspect a hack, without waiting for an intrusion to be confirmed. According to PANews, citing Cointelegraph, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) plans to issue a no-objection letter allowing preventive suspensions under specified conditions.
Current rules prohibit exchanges from blocking withdrawals without valid grounds and explicitly allow restrictions only after a hacking incident is confirmed. The FSC also requires exchanges to maintain 24-hour monitoring and incident response, increase cold-wallet holdings, and strengthen insurance coverage and reserves.
Exchanges unable to monitor continuously will be allowed to process deposits and withdrawals only during staffed hours and must notify users in advance.

According to ChainCatcher, Strategy founder Michael Saylor said on November 5, 2026, during a remote appearance at Oranje Summit 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil, that frontier AI models could boost hackers’ capabilities and make complex software used by exchanges and wallets especially vulnerable to attacks. He said Bitcoin’s design can withstand AI threats and that Satoshi Nakamoto was wise to limit base-layer functionality, as complex software expands the attack surface. Saylor also said Bitcoin’s security and computing power would help it win the contest to become the global standard for digital capital.

Nvidia's board met late Wednesday to decide whether to oust Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters, as the world's dominant AI chip supplier confronts reports of two extramarital affairs involving its longtime leader. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The meeting marks a sharp reversal from Sunday, when the board expressed confidence in Huang and his leadership team. Under Nvidia's bylaws he can be removed "with or without cause" by a majority of directors. Nvidia has 11 directors and considers all but Huang independent.
The stock slid more than 8% in extended trading after the Wall Street Journal first reported the company was preparing to fire Huang. If those losses hold, Nvidia will have shed about $600 billion in market value since the board opened its investigation.
US intelligence was examining Alice Huang, a businesswoman alleged to be a Chinese spy, over facilitating shipments of Nvidia chips to Chinese firms. The disclosures prompted questions about governance and Huang's conduct, an internal probe with outside counsel, and calls from lawmakers for tighter export curbs.
Armina Rosenberg of Minotaur Capital, which holds the shares, said the market was starting to price Nvidia without its founder as the likely outcome rather than a tail risk, and that losing Jensen would be a real blow.
His departure would leave a vacuum at the roughly $4 trillion company he co-founded and built over more than three decades. Huang, 63, has no obvious successor and owns about 3.6% of the stock. Bloomberg reported the board has worked with an outside firm to identify replacements.
Rosenberg said Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress, in the role for more than a decade, would be the natural interim choice, though the harder question is who leads the technology roadmap. Polymarket put an 88% chance on Huang resigning or being removed this year, with odds favoring Ian Buck as successor.
The New York Times reported earlier Wednesday that Huang also had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, who reported to him. Asked about the relationship by phone, Huang said he did not think the reporter should be speaking to him directly, then hung up, the Times said. Reuters could not verify that report.
Nasdaq futures fell 1%. Micron dropped nearly 2% and CoreWeave 6% in after-hours trading, while rivals AMD and Broadcom rose 4% and 3%. In Asia, Samsung gained about 1% and SK Hynix slipped nearly 1%. Quarterly results are due Nov. 17.
Nick Ferres of Vantage Point Asset Management said Nvidia is financing its customers, and that in a boom or bubble a slowdown alone can tip the cycle into bust. US President Donald Trump has voiced support for Huang, a close ally.
Huang could face a congressional subpoena if he does not answer a request for a closed-door briefing. Axios reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stalled Trump's crackdown on companies suspected of diverting Nvidia chips.

According to ChainCatcher, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Democrats are among the most corrupt and anti-American political leaders in U.S. and world history. He accused them of trying to evade large-scale corruption in blue states while repeatedly alleging corruption by his administration, and said the accusations were intended to cover up what he called unprecedented embezzlement in Minnesota, California and other states.
Trump also accused “fake news” media of refusing to report on the issue, including during his first term. He said he may have been too naive by declining a presidential salary worth millions of dollars, and described himself as the only president to do so. He called Democrats corrupt and evil, said he was their opposite, and urged Republicans to fight or risk losing their country.

On Nov 12, 2026, 12:28 PM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, BNB has dropped below 660 USDT and is now trading at 659.919983 USDT, with a narrowed 2.93% decrease in 24 hours.

A transaction signed by a BitGo-custodied account unstaked 204,044 SOL and transferred the tokens to a wallet linked to FTX/Alameda, worth about $16.89 million. According to Odaily, the transaction shows only that SOL was unstaked and transferred to the wallet; it does not confirm whether the tokens will be sold.

Strive reported a 63% year-to-date BTC Yield and total holdings of 43,153 bitcoin. According to Odaily, Bitcoin News posted on X that Strive Chief Investment Officer Ben Werkman said bitcoin reserve companies should assess performance using BTC Yield, defined as growth in bitcoin per share. He said existing holders benefit when a share issuance used to buy bitcoin increases bitcoin per share, but effectively subsidize new shareholders if it decreases. Strive also said it bought 29 bitcoin last week at $75,721 each, spending $2.2 million.

Foresight News posted on X (formerly Twitter) that BitMine remains down about $6.2 billion as debate continues over the long-term value of ETH. At a fireside chat at ETHGlobal Pragma Mumbai, Vitalik Buterin discussed whether ETH should be viewed as a token that collects fees or as a store of value, saying the two approaches require different priorities. Optimizing market value around fee collection, he said, is essentially like running a company; successful companies often use aggressive governance rather than detailed rules that constrain them over the long term.
The post also cited recent results from two Ethereum treasury companies. BitMine holds 6.07 million ETH, or 4.97% of the supply, putting it close to Tom Lee’s 5% target. It reported a net loss of $6.3 billion for fiscal 2026, mostly from unrealized losses as ETH prices fell. Staking generated about $121 million in revenue, less than its $377 million in management expenses.
SharpLink reported net income of $750 million in the third quarter, about 90% of which came from unrealized gains. For the first three quarters of this year, it recorded a cumulative loss of about $328 million.
Both companies have followed a similar model: raising capital to buy ETH, earning staking income, and reporting results that move with the token’s price. The post said investors should look beyond the amount of ETH each company buys and assess whether its ETH per share is increasing and whether staking returns can cover financing costs. It also raised the question of how much additional value treasury companies can create for shareholders beyond holding ETH for appreciation.

According to ChainCatcher, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov said GRAM rose despite a broad decline in the crypto market, arguing that it is the only cryptocurrency genuinely integrated into a large social ecosystem and remains significantly undervalued. Durov said GRAM deserves a place among the top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap and believes it can reach that position. He added that more than 1 million self-custodial Gram wallets were activated on Telegram in the past 48 hours, while GRAM gained about 14% in the 24 hours before his post.

According to ChainCatcher, Huma co-founder Richard Liu said on X that the team was surprised by HUMA’s steeper-than-expected decline and had launched an investigation. The investigation found that an early liquidity provider’s wallet was hacked on October 22, after which about 12 million HUMA tokens received through an airdrop were sold. From November 2 to 7, HUMA futures open interest across the market rose from about 620 million tokens to 1.1 billion. Perpetual futures trading volume was seven to 10 times spot volume, and funding rates had remained negative since November 4.

The collapse of Paraguay’s digital lender Ueno Bank left nearly three million customers, roughly 60% of the country’s adults, unable to access their accounts last week. According to Cointelegraph, the Central Bank placed Ueno into resolution on Nov. 3 after its solvency ratio fell below half the legal minimum, with an investigation citing questionable lending and deficiencies in credit documentation and accounting. The failure fueled protests and a political crisis involving President Santiago Peña. Paraguay’s peer-to-peer crypto market quickly reflected the turmoil, with some sellers seeking premiums of up to 13% for USDt. As the guaraní fell 12.3% in a week, customers turned to dollar-pegged stablecoins to preserve savings and keep payments moving. X4T founder and CEO David Eisenmann said the intervention came when salaries, rent and supplier invoices were due, leaving some business owners unable to make payroll. X4T processed more than $10 million in local on-ramp volume over the 30 days to early November, although some activity predated Ueno’s collapse. Eisenmann said demand for USDt and USDC rose, while customers also sold crypto to cover payments. By Nov. 9, the Central Bank said 93.1% of depositors had been repaid, but X4T continued to receive elevated inquiries about dollar-denominated stablecoins.
Analysts said the episode highlighted stablecoins’ potential to provide liquidity when confidence in banks falters, but cautioned against treating them as a risk-free substitute. GlobalData associate analyst Rhys Hicks said there was no evidence of a mass shift from Paraguayan banks into stablecoins, noting other banks had picked up the slack and consumers appeared more angered by the government. He said stablecoins may appeal during political instability because they are pegged to a comparatively stable currency, such as the U.S. dollar, but holders lack bank deposit guarantees and a central bank backstop. Stablecoins are also connected to the traditional financial system: during Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in March 2023, Circle disclosed that $3.3 billion of USDC reserves were held at the lender. USDC briefly fell to 86 cents after Circle said it could not withdraw the funds. A BIS paper has also warned that widespread adoption of dollar-backed tokens could challenge monetary sovereignty in emerging markets. Eisenmann expects people to diversify across banks, cash and digital assets. He said the speed of restoring trust will depend on how quickly and transparently authorities handle Ueno’s resolution.

According to ChainCatcher citing CoinDesk, Ripple’s lending system for banks and payment companies on the XRP Ledger has 22 validator votes, seven short of the 29 needed to activate it. The system and its accompanying SingleAssetVault amendment must each receive 29 votes for two consecutive weeks. Since mid-October, three more validators have backed the proposal. As of Wednesday, LendingProtocol and its first amendment each had 22 votes, while SingleAssetVault, which creates lending pools, had 23. The design lets depositors place XRP or other tokens in vaults for fixed-term, uncollateralized loans, relying on off-chain underwriting and risk management. A code merge request dated November 4 proposed adding a third lending amendment.
