On November 5, 2026, Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, connected remotely to the Oranje Summit 2026 held in São Paulo, Brazil. He stated that cutting-edge AI models would enhance the attack capabilities of hackers, and complex software used for transferring funds, such as exchanges and wallets, is particularly vulnerable to attacks. He believes that the design of the Bitcoin network can withstand AI threats, and that Satoshi Nakamoto's decision to limit underlying functions was wise, as complex software would expand the attack surface. He also mentioned that Bitcoin, supported by its strong computing power and security, would prevail in the competition for the global digital capital standard.

According to exclusive reports from Big Factory Daily, Trip.com held an all-hands meeting last week to announce the promotion of the "Integration of Production and Research" system across the company. This system is centered around DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) and merges personnel from product, operations, front-end, back-end, algorithms, testing, and other areas into project-based teams, breaking down traditional functional team boundaries with the goal of achieving "everyone is a full-stack developer, everyone is a product manager."In terms of specific execution, DRI leaders are not limited by function and can be original product, operations, or technical leaders. Team members within the project group collaborate across functions, which may lead to situations where products evaluate technical performance, and technology reports to operations. Front-end and back-end teams can also propose requirements and implement them independently. Ideas from product and operations that can be realized by AI can also be delivered independently, ultimately decided by the DRI.Currently, departments such as Trip.com Travel, Flights, and Content Center have begun to respond, with different teams progressing at varying paces, and the company has not imposed a one-size-fits-all requirement. The report indicates that this move is partly influenced by Silicon Valley concepts and aligns with the trend of blurred job boundaries in the AI era. This model can effectively reduce buck-passing and disputes, shorten delivery chains, and accelerate decision-making, but the challenge lies in the high comprehensive ability requirements for DRI leaders, who need to possess both technical understanding and business insight, and such qualified leaders are currently relatively scarce.

According to a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the operator of the sports prediction market Novig, Ludlow Exchange, had its application to block a preliminary injunction regarding the applicability of betting laws in New York State denied.The court determined at the preliminary injunction stage that Novig's sports event contracts do not fall under the definition of swap contracts as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act, allowing New York State to require it to obtain a state betting license or prohibit the relevant contracts from being listed and traded in its market. The ruling document shows that Novig was designated as a contract market by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in June 2026 and began offering sports event contracts to New York customers in August.

Strive's Chief Investment Officer Ben Werkman stated that the growth rate of Bitcoin holdings per share is a key indicator of the capital allocation efficiency of treasury companies, but it cannot be assessed in isolation from financing costs and capital structure.When a company's stock price is at a premium relative to its Bitcoin net assets, issuing common stock to purchase Bitcoin can increase the per-share holding amount. Stock buybacks can also enhance this metric, but may deplete cash reserves. Werkman noted that if the funds raised from preferred stock financing are continuously used to buy back common stock, it may weaken the asset protection of preferred stock dividends and harm the interests of preferred stock investors.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed financial sanctions on eight Canadian currency service companies, stating that these companies have business dealings with sanctioned Iranian entities. The Treasury Department's statement indicated that the aforementioned companies facilitate the exchange of Iranian rials and other currencies and digital assets, enabling them to conduct international transactions. The related sanctions will isolate these companies from the U.S. dollar financial system.The U.S. Treasury stated that these businesses handle transactions for sanctioned Iranian digital asset exchanges and digital asset addresses associated with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that Canada cannot become a haven for illegal financial practitioners providing sanction evasion services to the Iranian regime and its proxies, and the Treasury will pursue and cut off financial channels for the Iranian regime globally. This action was coordinated with Canada's financial intelligence agency FINTRAC, as some sanctioned entities have attempted to evade scrutiny by changing their names and addresses.On the same day, the U.S. "Rewards for Justice" program offered a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation arrangements for information regarding Iran's nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and personnel. The statement noted that Iran has not complied with the International Atomic Energy Agency's safeguards oversight, resulting in the agency losing "knowledge continuity" regarding Iran's production of enriched uranium and centrifuge components.

According to The Defiant, U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley in Northern California approved the preliminary injunction request from the California tribe on November 4, prohibiting the event contract platform Kalshi Inc. and KalshiEX from offering sports event contracts on the Indian land of the plaintiff tribe.The injunction covers sports contracts for baseball, tennis, soccer, basketball, golf, esports, racing, boxing, and UFC, but is limited to the land of the plaintiff tribe and does not apply to the entire state of California. Previously, Kalshi stated that it had proactively blocked trading in the relevant areas, but the tribe questioned its effectiveness. According to the injunction, the tribe must provide boundary maps by November 13, and Kalshi must report compliance steps within 21 days.

According to Loopscale monitoring, the platform has restored the priority loan function, and all loans can have additional collateral; except for loans funded by the USDC Genesis Vault, all other loans can be repaid, and borrowers can retrieve their collateral after full repayment. The collateral withdrawal function for loans related to the USDC Genesis Vault remains temporarily closed, and treasury withdrawals and other protocol functions continue to be restricted.The team is working with partners to advance the security recovery efforts. Loopscale stated that it has identified and controlled two paths exploited by the attackers during this incident. The attackers first exploited a misconfiguration of asset pricing parameters, leading to collateral deposited in the SOL Genesis Vault being incorrectly valued as another asset, resulting in approximately $412,000 in under-collateralized loans. Subsequently, the attackers sold a loan with abnormally high interest rates to the USDC Genesis Vault through atomic transaction combinations, artificially inflating its net asset value (NAV) and extracting approximately $521,000 in redemption funds; this operation was intercepted by the system within 30 seconds after the transaction was generated. Loopscale stated that user deposits will not suffer losses as a result.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, an official from South Korea's Ministry of Unification stated that the government has not yet begun discussions on whether to impose sanctions due to North Korea's alleged theft of cryptocurrency from Binance. Currently, the South Korean government has not fully grasped the specifics of this hacking incident, and discussions on related responses have not yet been initiated.Previously, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified North Korea as responsible for the theft of over $6 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange platform. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, denied the allegations earlier this week, calling them a "serious political provocation" against North Korea. An official from the Ministry of Unification stated that further information sharing and discussions are still needed within the government.

According to documents from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Sun Yuchen and two co-plaintiffs have applied for sanctions against World Liberty Financial and its attorneys, seeking approximately $264,000 in attorney fees and costs. The plaintiffs allege that World Liberty made false disclosures regarding its citizenship in the litigation.The plaintiffs claim that World Liberty initially only disclosed its citizenship in Florida, and nearly three months later supplemented its disclosure to include 22 members in its ownership chain, with citizenship also including places like the UAE. World Liberty's attorneys subsequently argued that, since both parties in the litigation have foreign entities, the federal court lacks jurisdiction.The amount requested involves attorney fees and costs related to the plaintiffs' opposition to mandatory arbitration. The plaintiffs stated in the documents that they would have to refile in California state court; a hearing on the sanctions application is scheduled for December 10.

Aave Pro has launched the collateral swap feature for Aave V4's Ethereum, Base, and Avalanche markets, allowing users to change collateral assets without having to close their positions.

Sun Yuchen posted on platform X that his lawyer has applied for sanctions against World Liberty Financial (WLFI) because the company disclosed the UAE citizenship of its shareholders months after he filed the lawsuit.Sun Yuchen stated that he signed a token purchase agreement to buy $30 million of WLFI in November 2024, later increasing the total investment to $45 million, and filed a lawsuit against WLFI in April this year, accusing it of fraudulently inducing investment and illegally freezing his tokens. According to his token purchase agreement, the case can be filed in federal or state court in California, and he chose federal court.Sun Yuchen claimed that the disclosure documents submitted by WLFI at the beginning of the case only listed one entity of WLFI, registered in Florida, and then filed a motion for mandatory arbitration; during the August hearing, the court hinted that it did not recognize the arbitration claim and ruled that some demands would remain for public trial. Less than a week later, WLFI suddenly "corrected" the disclosure documents, increasing the number of members in the ownership chain from 1 to 22, and claimed to have citizenship in Florida, Delaware, Puerto Rico, and the UAE, thereby arguing that the federal court has no jurisdiction because both parties have foreign entities.Sun Yuchen pointed out that WLFI claims it "is not an offshore organization," is "a company that pays taxes in the United States," and "when selling tokens, it poses as a U.S. company, only to discover its UAE identity when trying to escape the U.S. federal court." He stated that after the sanctions motion is ruled on in federal court, he will refile the lawsuit in California state court.
