Lichtenstein nói rửa tiền mã hóa bị đánh cắp khó hơn tấn công các sàn giao dịch
Ilya Lichtenstein nói việc rửa tiền mã hóa bị đánh cắp khó hơn lấy cắp số tiền này, vì tin tặc phải di chuyển nhanh để tránh bị phát hiện và tài sản bị đóng băng. Binance mất hơn 6 tỷ USD trong một vụ tấn công hôm thứ Năm, với bằng chứng hướng tới tin tặc Triều Tiên. Triều Tiên trước đây đã phủ nhận các cáo buộc tấn công mạng. Lichtenstein, người đã nhận tội trong một âm mưu rửa tiền trị giá 4,5 tỷ USD vào năm 2023, cảnh báo AI ngày càng phát triển có thể khiến các vụ tấn công tinh vi trở nên phổ biến trong vài tháng tới. Binance hôm thứ Bảy cho biết sàn đã bù đắp 90% số tiền bị đánh cắp của khách hàng và vẫn theo đúng kế hoạch nối lại hoạt động rút tiền.

Binance says it has restored backing for up to 90% of approximately $6.3 billion in stolen assets
Binance said on Saturday that it had restored backing for up to 90% of the approximately $6.3 billion in stolen token assets. This backing does not mean Binance has recovered 90% of the assets from the attackers. Binance said it had used portions of its user protection fund, Futures insurance fund, and corporate treasury to cover the assets. Binance pledged to absorb the financial losses itself rather than pass them on to users. Binance expects to resume withdrawals on Sunday, subject to security checks and final confirmation. The attack method and perpetrators remain unclear.
Traders bet on Anthropic IPO through crypto contract offering up to 10x leverage
Traders are making leveraged bets on Anthropic’s IPO through two contracts on Hyperliquid; trade.xyz’s ANT contract offers up to 10x leverage. Neither contract is backed by Anthropic shares or gives holders any claim against Anthropic. Hyperliquid data shows ANT fell from about $138 to around $110 on its launch day, with $8.7 million in trading volume. Trade.xyz forecasts that the shares will list on November 20, but Anthropic has not confirmed the date. Thin liquidity and leverage create significant risks, while U.S. traders are restricted from trading derivatives on Hyperliquid.
Strategy reports $20.9 billion in operating income as BTC yield per share turns negative
Strategy reported $20.9 billion in operating income in the third quarter, almost entirely due to the increase in the fair value of its Bitcoin holdings. Michael Saylor said a new Bitcoin bull market is beginning. However, as of October 25, Strategy reported a year-to-date BTC yield of -3.7%, indicating a decline in Bitcoin exposure per assumed diluted share. K33 estimates that, in a hypothetical comparison, funding from STRC would add only 4,947 BTC while creating approximately $725 million in additional annual dividend obligations. Bitwise's André Dragosch argues that investors are demanding too large a premium for Strategy's financial risks. Strategy estimates that approximately $5 billion in USD-designated assets could cover 3.4 years of preferred dividends and interest at current rates.
Strive CEO says Bitcoin holds firm after $6.3 billion Binance hack
Strive CEO Matt Cole said Bitcoin has shown greater resilience than expected following the $6.3 billion Binance hack. Cole said the breach does not change the long-term investment thesis for Bitcoin, but it is still too early to tell whether the price has bottomed. CoinGecko data shows Bitcoin at nearly $77,400 at 16:00 on Saturday, about 4% below its price just before the attack began on Thursday. Glassnode described the breach as the largest cryptocurrency hack ever recorded. Blockaid CEO Ido Ben-Natan said Binance’s transaction-signing process appears to have been compromised. Binance said on Friday that its ongoing investigation had found no evidence that the wallet’s private keys had been leaked.

Hackers took control of 12 DeFi websites late Friday and used them to drain cryptocurrency from visitors’ wallets. Public registration records show that every identified domain was registered through Name.com. About $138,000 in stolen cryptocurrency has been traced to three wallets on EVM blockchains, excluding losses on Solana or Aptos. Blockaid said the compromised websites used Step Drainer malware to trick visitors into approving fund transfers. Kintsu and Origami Finance blamed Vercel, but the source of the breach has not been determined. None of the affected projects has disclosed the number of victims.
Binance says it has replaced 90% of the cryptocurrency stolen in the $6.3 billion hack
Binance said purchases of alternative assets have now offset 90% of the cryptocurrency lost in Thursday’s $6.3 billion hack. Binance said withdrawals are still expected to resume on Sunday, November 1. Binance said customer assets in 10 named cryptocurrencies were fully backed, while lower-liquidity tokens accounted for the remaining 10% shortfall. Binance pledged to absorb the financial loss rather than pass it on to users. TRM Labs and Chainalysis blamed the attack on TraderTraitor, a group linked to North Korea, while U.S. President Donald Trump said it remains unclear whether North Korea was involved.
Binance said it has recovered around 90% of the $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency stolen by hackers earlier this week. The exchange expects to allow withdrawals again on Sunday, as it moves closer to fulfilling its commitment to fully reimburse customers.

Analysis: Binance loses approximately $6.4 billion in the largest cryptocurrency theft
The attacker took approximately $6.4 billion from Binance on Thursday in the largest cryptocurrency theft ever recorded. Chainalysis and TRM Labs attributed the attack to TraderTraitor, a group linked to the North Korean government. Binance CEO Richard Teng said the company would use its own funds and emergency reserve fund to cover the entire loss, adding that customer assets were unaffected. Binance aims to restore withdrawal services before Sunday and publish full proof of reserves before Monday. About $3 billion has been frozen or located, but Elliptic estimates that the attacker still controls approximately $3.3 billion.
Uber tests round-the-clock cash management with tokenized funds and deposits
Uber has completed a round-the-clock corporate cash management pilot with HSBC, Franklin Templeton, Tradeweb, and Fireblocks, according to a press release issued by the companies on Friday. Uber purchased tokenized money market fund shares using tokenized bank deposits and could redeem part of its holdings, including on weekends.

Analysis: Bitcoin turns 18, becomes a mainstream asset but still faces unresolved security risks...
Today marks 18 years since the anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto circulated the Bitcoin white paper. Bitcoin has become an asset held by Wall Street and accessible through popular investment products. However, Bitcoin still faces unanswered questions about quantum computing, AI-related cybersecurity threats, and the long-term security of the network. This week’s $6.3 billion Binance attack, the largest attack on a cryptocurrency exchange ever recorded, has reignited concerns about centralized exchanges.
