✅ Good news for #NearIntents users: approximately $3.8 million in stolen funds has reportedly been returned in full, following the October 1 security incident.
Here's what happened 👇 🔍 The exploit: A flaw involving Omni infrastructure and an Intents smart contract triggered a temporary halt to deposits and withdrawals across 11 networks.
🛡️ Recovery efforts: Shevchenko later published three return addresses. These covered Bitcoin, $BNB Chain, and $SOL . He also set a 48-hour deadline for the suspected attacker.
💰 The outcome: The returned funds remove the immediate financial shortfall, but the team still needs to explain exactly how the vulnerability occurred.
The funds are back, but will the upcoming post-mortem restore confidence in $NEAR Intents' security? 👀#nearprotocol
🚨 $ETH Layer-2 network #Blast is officially winding down after operating costs outpaced revenue, with the team admitting there's no “credible path” to sustainability.
Here's what users need to know 👇 ⏳ Withdrawal deadline: October 26 via Blast's interface 🔄 Withdrawal delay: Being reduced to 24 hours ⚠️ Temporary disruption: Withdrawals remain unavailable while the team unwinds its Lido assets 🔗 After October 26: Users will need to interact directly with Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum. Instructions are expected before the deadline.
Blast once attracted over $2B in deposits through its native yield and points program.
But its DeFi TVL has reportedly plunged more than 98% from its $2.2B peak in June 2024. #Ethereum
📈 After Wednesday’s $148.7M outflow, U.S. spot #bitcoin ETFs returned to positive territory on October 1, signaling renewed demand as $BTC rebounded.

🔍 What happened? 💸 Estimated $3.8M in losses 🛠️ A vulnerability affected Omni infrastructure handling deposits and withdrawals 🛡️ The team pledged to reimburse affected assets ⏸️ Deposits and withdrawals across 11 networks were temporarily suspended while repairs continued
The incident comes after a strong 148% monthly rally and the launch of Bitwise’s first U.S. spot #NearETF on September 29.
📊 #Hyperliquid $HYPE traded around $86.89 on October 1, down 2.87% on the day, as selling pressure kept the token below key resistance.
📈 Key levels to watch: Resistance: $90.95–$91.11 Next targets: $92–$95, then $97.88 Support: $87.89 Lower supports: $84.84 → $81.29

🏛️ Meanwhile, Hyperliquid Policy Center is pushing for regulatory clarity in Europe, arguing that perpetual futures should be assessed under existing derivatives rules rather than a separate crypto-specific category.
The ecosystem is also expanding borrowing features and exploring regulated U.S. perpetual markets, subject to approval. #hype #Altcoins👀🚀
🌙 #Midnight $NIGHT surged over 22% in 24 hours to around $0.044, pushing its market cap toward $727M as interest in blockchain privacy heats up.
What’s driving the rally? 👀 🔐The rally accelerated after Jaime Rogozinski commented on privacy. He is the founder of WallStreetBets. He argued that privacy could become more important as institutions move capital onchain. His comments represent a market view. They are not evidence that institutions are buying #night .
US spot $ETH ETFs attracted about $3.05 billion in Q3. That followed roughly $714 million in Q2 net outflows. Meanwhile, Ether gained about 71% during the quarter. #ETFs

📊 CryptoQuant's Bull Score Index has climbed to 90, following #bitcoin 's break above its 365-day moving average.
But there's a catch: buying demand is weakening. 🔥 $2.39B in weekly $BTC ETF inflows 📉 Spot demand: ~170,000 #BTC contraction over 30 days ⚡ Futures demand growth: down ~90% in 15 days 💰 Profit-taking: 25,700 BTC realized on Sept. 22
BTC recently pulled back from $87,400 toward $83K–$84K as resistance near $85K–$85.8K held.
Meanwhile, rising Treasury yields and upcoming inflation data could add more volatility.
The Bull Score signals broadly bullish conditions, but weaker spot demand and slowing futures activity raise questions about the rally's strength.
🎯 Resistance: $85K–$85.8K ⚠️ Support: $81.5K–$83K
Can Bitcoin reclaim $87K without a fresh wave of buyers? 👀
🚀 #Bitwise has launched its #NearETF (NRR) on NYSE Arca, giving U.S. investors direct exposure to #Near through a regulated exchange-traded product.
Key details: 💰 Management fee: 0.75% 🔒 Direct $NEAR holdings with planned staking 📈 NEAR Intents volume: $32B+, up from under $1B a year ago 🔥 NEAR price: ~$4.94, up around 167% in a month
The bigger story is AI agents and cross-chain payments. Bitwise sees autonomous software as a potential growth driver for NEAR, while Intents lets users and #AIAgents execute transactions across supported blockchains. #BitwiseLaunchesFirstSpotNEARETF
🚀 $HBAR surged over 20% in 24 hours, briefly hitting $0.1306 before pulling back toward $0.118.
Trading activity exploded: 📈 Market cap: ~$5.12B 🔥 24h volume: ~$1.34B 🎯 Momentum is heating up, but RSI near 74 signals an overheated short-term move.
🏢 IThe move coincided with fresh enterprise news. For example, The Hashgraph Group listed its IDTrust platform on IBM Cloud Catalog. Additionally, Hedera contributed a cross-ledger protocol to Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust.
NVIDIA also unveiled an AI-agent security platform on September 28. However, its announcement does not identify Hedera or IDTrust as participants. Therefore, that launch cannot be described as a Hedera partnership.
Enterprise developments are adding attention, but sustained price strength still needs confirmation. #hedera #hbar
🐋 #Bitmine just added another 17,362 $ETH , pushing its treasury above 6 million #ETH for the first time.
The numbers are getting bigger: ♦️ 6,001,302 ETH held 📊 4.9% of total ETH supply 🎯 98% toward its 5% target 🔒 5,067,309 ETH staked 💰 Potential MAVAN annualized revenue: $358M
Chairman #TomLee calls the milestone a major achievement, citing #Ethereum 's network effects and growing institutional interest.
🚨 The wallet linked to #Bitget ’s September 24 breach has moved approximately 2,390 $ETH into 75.2 $BTC through THORChain.
Key details: 🔄 27 swaps executed on Monday 💰 ~$6.3M in ETH converted ₿ BTC sent to a single receiving address ⚠️ Another 400 ETH was awaiting swaps at the time of review
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen asked #THORChain to block addresses linked to the attacker, but the network rejected the request.
THORChain says its emergency controls are designed to protect the protocol, not selectively freeze individual wallets.
The case highlights a major challenge for decentralized finance: transactions can be traced on-chain, but stopping them is much harder or even it is against their values.
So the question that was asked after the #bybit hack and it's being asked now :
Should decentralized protocols intervene when stolen funds are identified, or would that undermine their main objective & core values ? 👀
🔓 After pausing withdrawals following its Sept. 24 security breach, #Bitget says withdrawals will restart in stages.
🟠 Sept. 28: $BTC ♦️ Sept. 29: $ETH + $BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism 💵 Sept. 30: USDT on Ethereum, #BNBChain , Solana, Tron 🌐 Oct. 2: Other tokens, fiat & P2P The reported loss has also risen from $351.6M → ~$387.5M, with tracing still ongoing.
Bitget says: 🔒 Cold wallets remain secure 💰 User balances are accurate 🛡️ Protection fund: $464M+ 🔧 Vulnerabilities have been fixed
⚡ #solana 's Alpenglow upgrade is now live on devnet and testnet, giving developers a first look at a major change to transaction finality.
🎯 Target finality: ~150ms ⏱️ Current TowerBFT: ~12.8 seconds 🧪 Devnet: Live 🌐 Mainnet: Not activated yet
The upgrade's Votor system lets validators communicate votes directly, potentially cutting finality from seconds to milliseconds.
That could matter for: 💱 Exchange deposits 💳 Payments 📊 Real-time applications
But there's a catch: 150ms is still a target, not live mainnet performance. Developers also need to update explorers and data services to handle competing candidate blocks and new validator certificate data. $SOL
🚨#Bitget says an attacker compromised part of its hot/warm wallet infrastructure, triggering unauthorized transfers worth an estimated $351.6M.
🔒 Cold wallets: Safe, according to Bitget 💰 User balances: Reportedly unaffected 🛡️ Protection Fund: $464M+ ⛔ Withdrawals: Paused ✅ Trading & deposits: Still live
The attacker allegedly compromised a backend system and spoofed transaction data to bypass authorization. Bitget says private keys were not compromised and the breach has been contained.
On-chain researchers had previously identified around $183M in suspicious transfers, creating a discrepancy with Bitget's $351.6M estimate.
