The advisor BA Labs of the DeFi lending protocol Sky has proposed a plan to suspend new borrowings from the Core Vault. Data disclosed by BA Labs shows that there are currently 771 open vaults with a total debt of 376.33 million USDS.According to the proposal, borrowers can still make normal repayments and manage their collateral during the suspension period, but they will not be able to borrow new USDS. This adjustment targets new borrowing exposure, and existing positions will not be affected.

The Japanese yen fell below the 160 mark against the US dollar for the first time since September, weakening for the third consecutive trading day. The US-Japan interest rate differential exceeded 250 basis points, increasing the pressure on the yen to depreciate.Jun Mimura, an official from Japan's Ministry of Finance, stated that the recent fluctuations in the yen's exchange rate have been "too rapid," and mentioned previous interventions in the foreign exchange market.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated that the Binance black swan event and the significant victory of the Democratic Party in the United States have had a considerable impact on both the AI stock market and the cryptocurrency market. Investors need to continuously adjust their strategies based on the market environment. Although there have been multiple successful exits at the peak previously, it is still necessary to be cautious of prematurely bottom-fishing at this stage, to avoid catching a falling knife at the "halfway up the mountain."

Julian Lafarge, Chief Market Strategist at Barclays Private Bank, stated that despite the uncertainty surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's future, the uncertain returns on AI investments, and rising financing costs testing market confidence, investors should continue to participate in the AI market. Lafarge believes that AI is not a bubble but a technological revolution that will impact all industries, although its commercialization and infrastructure development cannot happen overnight.Lafarge pointed out that Nvidia is referred to as the "central bank of AI trading," but even if the company changes its CEO, it does not mean that the entire AI industry chain's trading needs to be re-evaluated or renegotiated. He compared the potential leadership transition at Nvidia to previous management transitions at Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon, arguing that a successor taking over does not necessarily weaken corporate value.However, Barclays lists interest rates and the financing environment as major risks that could disrupt the market. As the scale of AI infrastructure investment expands, the market's focus is shifting from whether the demand for computing power is real to whether the massive capital expenditures can generate sufficient returns. Data center construction also faces bottlenecks such as power access, equipment installation, and commercial operation cycles, while expectations of tightening Federal Reserve policies may also raise corporate financing costs and depress long-term cash flow valuations.Lafarge emphasized that the trillions of dollars in AI investment commitments cannot quickly translate into actual computing power delivery, and there will be significant divergence in investment returns among companies. Tighter financing conditions may change the pace of industry investment and competitive landscape, but it does not mean that the long-term demand for AI infrastructure will disappear. Barclays still prefers to maintain exposure to AI investments until there are clear signs of a significant slowdown in industry growth momentum.

Coinbase's EU policy head Roeland Van der Stappen stated that the EU's efforts to tighten regulation on DeFi may push crypto users towards platforms with less investor protection. He told Cointelegraph that regulated crypto platforms might limit or even eliminate access to DeFi services as a result. He mentioned that rules aimed at protecting investors will ultimately push activities towards the least protected areas.In September, the European Securities and Markets Authority, in response to the EU Commission's MiCA consultation, suggested establishing a new category of regulated crypto services for companies providing access to DeFi protocols for customers. The European Banking Authority urged the Commission to explore new regulations for crypto lending that include suitability testing as one of the options. Van der Stappen noted that extending such tests to other DeFi services could treat simple stablecoin exchanges and leveraged lending equally, despite the different risks involved; lending, liquidity provision, and on-chain exchanges would be the most affected activities.He warned that restricting access through regulated platforms could fragment DeFi liquidity into smaller pools, resulting in worse trading prices for EU users and fostering isolated "walled garden" services that direct users towards providers outside the EU with less protection. An Adan-Ipsos survey in 2026 showed that 49% of French crypto buyers preferred accessing DeFi through exchanges, while 14% preferred personal wallets. Chainalysis reported that the slight decline in crypto activity in Germany was mainly due to reduced activity on decentralized exchanges; overall crypto activity in the EU grew by 2.2% in the 12 months leading up to June 2026.

Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis announced the establishment of a joint initiative called the "Digital Crime Task Force," aimed at identifying and combating illegal activities utilizing USDT on the Tron blockchain. The three parties stated that the task force will collaborate with law enforcement agencies through intelligence gathering to shorten the interval from threat identification to enforcement action, accelerating the asset freezing process before criminals can transfer funds. Tron founder Justin Sun stated that millions rely on USDT on Tron to sustain their livelihoods and businesses, and as digital finance reaches more people, the ability to protect must also be enhanced accordingly.The establishment of the task force comes against the backdrop of rising threats from AI-driven scams and cyberattacks in the cryptocurrency industry. Chainalysis pointed out that by 2025, the profit efficiency of AI-enabled scams will be 4.5 times that of traditional methods, with identity impersonation scams increasing by over 1400% year-on-year. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that criminals are using AI to accelerate their actions, and waiting for victims to report is no longer sufficient; Tether has collaborated with over 360 law enforcement agencies in 73 countries to freeze over $7 billion related to illegal activities.The task force plans to cover threat types including investment and romance scams, hacking attacks, terrorist financing, and North Korea-related cyberattacks. This formation follows the dissolution of a previous alliance: in 2024, Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs established the "T3 Financial Crime Group," which, according to Bloomberg earlier this month, was disbanded due to slow response and lack of coordination among members. Earlier this week, the cross-chain interoperability protocol Across resumed operations after experiencing a domain hijacking, and blockchain infrastructure provider Chainstack also disclosed that it faced an AI-driven security breach last month, leaking customer names, emails, and password hashes.

A hacker publicly sold suspected personal information of TSMC employees on an underground forum, claiming to possess up to 46,000 records with a data volume of 6.9GB, and is asking for 3 bitcoins. The hacker even threatened to fully disclose the related information if no one purchases it within a week.In response, TSMC confirmed that some personal information of current and former employees was disclosed without authorization. Preliminary investigations indicate that this information matches data from a certain cloud service provider's system, but there is currently no evidence that TSMC's own data systems have been breached. TSMC emphasized that the related information is unrelated to the company's production and customer data. The company has been notifying affected individuals and providing necessary assistance, while closely cooperating with the relevant cloud service provider, investigative agencies, and third-party cybersecurity organizations to expedite the clarification of the incident's cause and take necessary measures.

ZDNet Korea reported on November 12 that storage companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have decided to allocate additional supplies of enterprise-level solid-state drives (eSSD) that are currently being discussed with Chinese customers to U.S. customers. Major Chinese artificial intelligence companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent have decided to reduce the scale of eSSD orders to below expectations, and storage companies are aware of this situation. The report states that after the U.S. strengthened export controls on artificial intelligence to China, the supply of high-performance artificial intelligence semiconductors such as graphics processors and high-bandwidth memory has become difficult, leading to a decrease in the demand for accompanying storage.eSSD is a NAND-based storage module primarily used for data centers, serving as an auxiliary storage device for data preservation. Insiders indicate that the main reason for the order reduction among Chinese companies is the difficulty in supplying artificial intelligence semiconductors. The U.S. government has effectively prohibited companies like NVIDIA and AMD from exporting high-performance artificial intelligence semiconductors to China, and the accompanying high-bandwidth memory is also subject to controls. Previously, Chinese companies had circumvented these controls through overseas entities and product disassembly, but these alternative routes have gradually faced obstacles, causing delays in investment plans.Another insider stated that the adjustment of eSSD supply plans for China by storage companies is true, and the related supply volume plans are being shifted to U.S. cloud service providers. This person noted that the storage demand from U.S. data centers remains robust, and the supply shortage may continue into next year and the year after. Industry insiders say that the tight supply of NAND in global markets such as the U.S. is still ongoing, and the reduced demand in China will be taken up by U.S. data center companies; this adjustment will not have a significant impact on the overall demand for NAND and SSD.

According to Crypto Briefing, Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated at the DAS London conference that DeFi lending protocols need to introduce a "circuit breaker" mechanism, as the consequences of oracle failures could take years to resolve.He pointed out that the over-reliance on immutable code systems lacks contingency plans. When oracle data deviates, the protocol may trigger liquidations based on incorrect prices, and the immutable nature can lead to irreparable failures. The circuit breaker mechanism draws from traditional markets' practice of halting trading during extreme conditions, allowing protocols to pause operations until the issue is identified.
