According to Jinshi Data, during a telephone interview with CNN on Sunday local time, U.S. President Trump stated that as long as progress is made in negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear issue and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, it is "extremely unlikely" that the U.S. will take military action against Iran again. He reiterated this judgment five times during the approximately 20-minute interview and stated that whether to take military action depends on whether Iran signs a very tough agreement.Trump also mentioned that the U.S. military is prepared for action. He stated that there are three aircraft carriers on standby in the Middle East, one of which has just arrived, and all are in a state of readiness. He also disclosed that power plants and 38 bridges have been listed as potential strike targets, stating that these bridges could be destroyed in about an hour, but he prefers to avoid destroying related infrastructure.Trump further stated that Iran's air defense equipment has been destroyed, and currently, only about 10% of its missile production capacity and about 15% of its drone production capacity remain. He also mentioned that Iran's inflation rate has reached 301% this year and stated that reaching an agreement remains a priority option, suggesting that further military action is most likely unnecessary.

According to CoinDesk, the North Korean hacker group TraderTraitor is transferring the stolen funds from the $6.3 billion Binance hack through the decentralized cross-chain protocol THORChain, exchanging Ethereum for Bitcoin, which has driven the native token RUNE of THORChain to rise nearly 10% in the past 24 hours.The attackers first dispersed the stolen SOL across multiple wallets, exchanged it for USDC, and transferred it to the Ethereum network, then purchased ETH, and subsequently exchanged it for BTC through THORChain. Previously, the attackers had transferred some funds from the Tron network to THORChain. On-chain investigator SomaXBT estimates that as of November 1, the attackers have exchanged approximately $48.3 million through the protocol, ultimately receiving about $42.7 million, with fees and slippage losses of around 12%.The U.S. FBI has attributed the October 29 attack on Binance to TraderTraitor and has called on THORChain node operators and other crypto service providers to intercept related addresses and funds. Since BTC and ETH cannot be frozen by the issuer like USDT and USDC, cross-chain exchanges have increased the difficulty of recovering the stolen funds.Binance stated on Tuesday that it has frozen approximately $2.85 billion of the stolen funds and has covered about 98% of the affected tokens with company funds. On-chain analytics firm Elliptic believes that the stolen funds are currently still being transferred between different addresses and may not have been largely cashed out yet, with the attackers possibly planning to cash out in batches through over-the-counter trading channels.

Base Security Committee member Toady Hawk announced on November 3rd via X that he has accepted the position of CEO at the token issuance platform Clanker, responsible for driving the platform's restart. He stated that Clanker is now managed by Mask Network, which is also the manager of Firefly and Lens Protocol, and has collaborated with the engineering team to promote the restart, with more arrangements to be announced later.Toady Hawk recalled that Clanker was born about two years ago on Farcaster, where users could post on the timeline and tag the platform to issue tokens. The platform later expanded to X and once became the highest trading volume token issuance platform on Base, with related communities including BNKR, DRB, and FAIR. He mentioned that the platform subsequently experienced changes due to early founder controversies, being sold to Farcaster, and the handover to Neynar, which affected it multiple times over the past 18 months. He also stated that he has been working independently since he was 17 and prefers to manage projects he personally founded, but has accepted this position.His listed priorities after taking office include: updating the brand while retaining its original features, improving external communication, and collaborating with the engineering team to align functionalities with current mainstream issuance platforms, covering stock trading pairs, new chain support, and an unnamed first-day support feature. Other matters include rebuilding trust between builders and the trading community, supporting early communities still under construction, and bringing new issuance activities back to the information flow. He also stated that he will assist in planning projects for issuing meme tokens, stock trading pairs, or application tokens, and collaborate with developers who wish to continue building based on the Clanker protocol. The official Clanker account responded on the same day, stating that the restart is in progress.

Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian stated that Iran agrees to a "two-day plan," where on the first day, the United States will take compliance measures, and on the second day, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.If the United States adheres to this plan, negotiations between Iran and the United States will resume. The conditions that Iran requires the United States to fulfill include lifting the maritime blockade, unfreezing funds, and so on.

According to Initia monitoring, a security fix has been drafted for the vulnerability discovered on October 23, and audits are currently being conducted with security partners.After the audit is completed, Initia will announce a specific plan detailing how to restore support for the affected assets and orderly restart the Initia L1 and Rollup networks. This process is expected to be completed in the coming days.

Layer-1 blockchain Qubic has restarted the network and initiated the fund recovery process. Previously, attackers exploited a wallet seed vulnerability to transfer approximately 1.4 million USD worth of QU tokens from 1,404 accounts. The network validator Computors has approved the recovery plan, and affected users can submit claims, with a deadline of May 1, 2027.The Qubic block explorer shows that the network resumed processing ticks on October 19 at 20:00, with progress exceeding the previously paused 85,371,949. The vulnerability affects wallet seeds generated by certain Apple devices and browsers. Qubic recommends using version 4.26.4 or above to create new wallets and to transfer funds as soon as possible.

The Liquid Network officially announced the progress of the phased recovery, stating that the network recovery work has entered the final stage, focusing on strengthening security mechanisms, conducting independent audits, and gradually restoring the redeeming function of pegged assets.In terms of functional recovery, the network will first gradually open semi-automated BTC and LBTC exchange services, coordinating with participating exchange service providers to implement this service, which itself does not impose transaction volume limits at the protocol layer.In the next phase, the Liquid Network will restore the 1:1 Bitcoin reserve support for the network, and then gradually reopen the Federation redeeming function to authorized PAK key holders, but the full restoration of related functions still depends on the completion of remaining security checks and operational requirements.

The Kremlin stated that there is an urgent need to restart strategic nuclear stability dialogue with the United States.

According to The Defiant, THORChain announced that its v3.21 upgrade will fix the FIN contract vulnerability on Rujira and allow the previously paused application layer to restart. The network has set the upgrade target at block height 28,366,100, with an expected time around October 23. After the restart, trading, lending, borrowing, and automated trading on Rujira will resume. Rujira's products run through smart contracts within THORChain, rather than on an independent blockchain, and the application layer can pause these contracts without affecting the underlying layer of THORChain.According to Rujira, the vulnerability was discovered on September 26, when an attacker transferred a custom concentrated liquidity position without holding a position. The team paused the application layer with the support of node operators, and only one position from the Rujira team itself was affected, with no loss of user funds. Rujira attributed the vulnerability to a flaw in the position transfer function, rather than the trading logic of the liquidity strategy. On September 27, Rujira stated that the fix is located at the underlying layer and has been scheduled for the v3.21 upgrade.Regarding the restart window, Rujira proposed a conditional grace period in its plan on October 15: if the application layer is ready to resume, any credit account position with a loan-to-value ratio above 100% and meeting liquidation conditions will request node operators to pause the credit account contract for an additional 24 hours, allowing borrowers to replenish collateral before liquidation resumes. Borrowers can replenish collateral through Rujira Borrow or by directly transferring assets to the credit account address. Rujira indicated on October 10 that positions still deemed unsafe after the grace period may be liquidated when the liquidator triggers the process.

According to U.S. officials, despite Trump's fluctuating attitude towards restarting the war against Iran, the U.S. military is preparing plans to resume large-scale military operations against Iran.The U.S. Department of Defense has developed a new three-day strike plan against Iran, with three aircraft carriers set to be deployed in the Middle East.

According to Globenewswire, the U.S. publicly traded company Genius Group announced the restart of its Bitcoin treasury purchase plan. After liquidating its Bitcoin reserves in April this year, the company purchased 10 Bitcoins for approximately $854,000 between October 2 and 5, at an average price of $85,364 per Bitcoin.This purchase is part of its execution of a $1.2 billion "dual treasury" capital plan, which aims to allocate $827 million to Bitcoin and $800 million to AI assets, with a plan to increase the total asset size to $2 billion by fiscal year 2031.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced that it will relaunch the Coinbase Pro platform by the end of this year and has completed the integration with Deribit, thereby forming Coinbase Global Exchange. Coinbase stated at the Token2049 event in Singapore that its U.S. regulated futures commission merchant, Coinbase Financial Markets, will soon connect eligible U.S. customers to global crypto derivatives liquidity, marking the first time in market history that the U.S. is linked to the international derivatives market as a single liquidity pool.Coinbase indicated that the guidance released by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in May allows Coinbase Financial Markets to connect U.S. customers with the global crypto derivatives market, enabling U.S. institutional clients to access options and perpetual contracts that previously required offshore entities and multiple counterparties to use in a regulated manner. Qualified traders outside the U.S. will gain access to options trading in the coming weeks, while U.S. retail traders are expected to open later this year. U.S. institutional clients can trade Deribit options and perpetual contracts through Coinbase Prime, with account openings currently available.Coinbase acquired Deribit, one of the largest global crypto options exchanges, for approximately $2.9 billion in August 2025. As of September 30, Deribit had over $30 billion in open interest for Bitcoin options, with trading volume exceeding $1 trillion last year.

According to Bloomberg, Strategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor is seeking to adjust the dividend mechanism for the company's preferred shares, proposing to change the dividend payment from bi-monthly or quarterly to daily for billions of dollars in preferred stock. The annualized yield on the related securities can reach up to 12%, and Saylor stated that this move would help improve liquidity and market efficiency.Previously, Strategy primarily raised funds by selling common stock to purchase Bitcoin, but as the premium of common stock relative to its Bitcoin assets disappeared, the company shifted to issuing perpetual preferred shares that do not dilute the equity of common stock shareholders. Such securities have no fixed repayment date and can provide a new source of financing for Strategy. The company currently has over $14 billion in preferred shares outstanding. Although the company has repurchased over $1 billion of floating-rate preferred shares STRC, it has still been unable to issue new STRC since May.Analysts pointed out that increasing the frequency of dividend payments mainly reduces dividend-related volatility, cannot eliminate credit and Bitcoin price risks, and may not necessarily enhance market liquidity. The shareholder vote on the proposal will conclude on October 28. Given that Saylor is the main shareholder of Strategy, the proposal is expected to pass.

Zano, the privacy blockchain, announced a network update stating that the core team discovered a serious vulnerability in the Gateway Address, allowing unauthorized ZANO and fUSD to enter circulation. Investigations show that the wallet's payment keys or the privacy of ordinary transactions were not compromised, and Zano's core consensus mechanism was also unaffected.The team has developed a solution to clear all unauthorized activities by coordinating a network upgrade. To ensure network integrity, the Zano blockchain has been restarted from block height 3,833,000 (i.e., before the 6th hard fork), affecting approximately one month of on-chain historical records. Nodes, miners, stakers, and related services need to adopt the emergency update as soon as possible.The team stated that they will work with affected projects to address the losses and will announce compensation and claims processes, striving to compensate the community. Technical reasons and related code review results will be disclosed in the follow-up.

The official Cosmos Hub announced on platform X that the validators have successfully restarted the Cosmos Hub network as scheduled, block production has resumed, the network is operating normally, and they will continue to monitor the network status and provide further updates.

The PermissionDelegationV1_1 upgrade of the XRP Ledger entered a 14-day activation countdown on September 21, having received support from 29 of the 35 trusted validator nodes. If the support rate remains above 80% during this period, the upgrade could officially activate as early as October 5 at 11:18 UTC; at least 28 validator nodes must continue to support it, or the countdown will reset.This feature allows accounts to split permissions by role. For example, a stablecoin issuer can allow a connected compliance system to approve customer accounts holding its tokens while keeping the keys with full control offline; operational accounts can gain payment permissions but cannot change keys or delegate authority to others. Each trustee can have up to 10 permissions, and the main account can modify or revoke them at any time.This is the network's second attempt to introduce this feature. The original version had vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit to make others pay transaction fees with improperly signed transactions, and by repeatedly submitting high-fee transactions, they could deplete the victim's XRP balance. This vulnerability was reported by community testers on September 15, 2025, and validator nodes were advised to reject the amendment, so it was never activated. The fixed version was released with xrpld 3.3.0, changing the way unauthorized transactions are rejected, ensuring that fees are not deducted before signature verification.

Ethereum Institutional announces the relaunch of the Ethereum Institutional Forum, a curated series of closed-door events aimed at senior institutional participants and leading voices in the Ethereum ecosystem. The forum was initially launched during the Ethereum Foundation and has been held in Hong Kong and New York. It returns as a dedicated series designed to provide a trustworthy and neutral environment to understand the direction of Ethereum technology and its commercial implications.EIF III will be held on November 12 in London, bringing together banks, asset management companies, market infrastructure, and ecosystem leaders including Ethereum researcher Justin Drake. Topics include the Ethereum technology roadmap, post-quantum security, native issuance, and the role of Ethereum as on-chain financial infrastructure.

This week's upcoming release of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) has become a key point for judging whether inflation is re-accelerating. Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in a live broadcast that, against the backdrop of 162,000 new non-farm jobs and an unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%, the demand side in the U.S. remains resilient. If core PPI and service prices continue to stay high, companies may pass costs onto consumers, driving up subsequent CPI and prompting the market to reprice the Federal Reserve's policy path of "maintaining high interest rates for a longer period."Lewis Huang further analyzed two scenarios: if PPI exceeds expectations but CPI remains moderate, it indicates that companies lack pricing power and can only compress profit margins to absorb costs; if both PPI and CPI exceed expectations, it signifies that the inflation transmission chain has reopened, potentially serving as a catalyst for a stronger dollar and U.S. Treasury yields. From a trading perspective, if PPI exceeds expectations and drives the dollar up, gold and high-valuation tech indices like the Nasdaq 100 may come under pressure; conversely, if PPI falls short of expectations and the dollar retreats, it would support a rebound in gold and growth stock indices.Lewis Huang reminded traders that they should not only focus on the first wave of market movements following the data release but also observe whether PPI is confirmed by CPI, the dollar, and U.S. Treasury yields. If the rise in PPI is merely a short-term cost shock, the market impact will be limited; if costs continue to be transmitted to consumers, the market narrative may shift back to "recurring inflation and the continuation of high interest rates."

Huang Licheng posted, "I personally speculate that my proposal to acquire Friend.tech was blocked by Paradigm, so I withdrew my offer. If the project's founder Racer relaunches Friend.tech on the Robinhood Chain, I will support it."
