Jupiter COO Kash Dhanda said in an interview with The Block that Solana is an 'everything chain.' Dhanda said Solana is not a chain only for tokenized assets and does not face an either-or choice tied to any single identity. Solana will develop in a general-purpose direction rather than one specialized only for a specific use such as finance, Dhanda said.

Arcus, a decentralized exchange on Robinhood Chain, said in an official blog post that about 2,234,391 USDG was drained on-chain in a vulnerability exploit. The attacker exploited an error in transfers between sub-accounts, recorded a balance larger than the actual holdings, and then requested withdrawals to steal the funds, according to Arcus. The exchange said it completed a fix within one hour of identifying the bug and fully covered the losses with corporate funds from developer Arcus Labs. Arcus added that an additional $3 million in cryptocurrency the attacker had tried to withdraw was not paid out because it hit the bridge withdrawal limit, and the transaction was later canceled.

PumpFun, a memecoin issuance and trading platform, said it has begun supporting the Ethereum layer-two Optimism chain in its app. Users can search for and trade new and existing tokens in the Optimism ecosystem without bridging.

CryptoQuant said Bitcoin’s main cycle indicators have turned broadly bearish, with its bull score index falling to 20 and entering an extreme bearish zone. According to the report, the bull score index is a composite measure of overall bullish and bearish conditions in the Bitcoin market based on multiple on-chain and market indicators. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin’s apparent demand fell by 284,000 BTC, while Tether’s USDT market capitalization declined by $6.6 billion over the past 60 days, marking the largest drop since 2022. CryptoQuant said the $73,200 level, where Bitcoin’s 200-day moving average stands, will be a key support and dividing line between a shallow correction and further losses. According to CoinMarketCap, BTC was trading at $73,692.77, down 1.96%, at the time of writing.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating whether prediction market platform Kalshi violated rules tied to new product launches and could impose sanctions soon, Politico reported, citing people familiar with the matter. According to the report, the CFTC is examining whether Kalshi failed to provide proper advance notice for dozens of new products under development. Kalshi said the matter involved procedural errors in the submission process for some contracts and said many of those contracts were never actually launched. Kalshi added it is already addressing the issue. The CFTC is also watching exchanges’ self-certification process, which allows new products to be launched quickly. In July, the agency warned prediction market operators not to use overly broad language when certifying new products.

Binance Research said in its November monthly market report that a slowdown in the pace of global monetary tightening could trigger a Bitcoin rebound even before central banks begin cutting rates. The report explained that changes in the global monetary policy diffusion index since 2021 have shown a negative correlation of -0.62 with BTC’s six-month returns. It said the pace at which tightening spreads matters more than how broadly it is being implemented, and added that once tightening momentum peaks and begins to slow, that could mark a meaningful turning point for BTC.

John Nahas, chief business officer at Avalanche developer Ava Labs, said in an interview with Cointelegraph that the New York Stock Exchange's collaboration with Avalanche on a tokenized securities platform marks the end of the era of general-purpose blockchains. Nahas said financial institutions want on-chain infrastructure designed for their own needs rather than simply experimenting with blockchain adoption. Nahas added that capital markets in particular require stable performance, predictable costs, and control over networks and participants, while general-purpose blockchains are difficult to tailor to the regulatory and operational frameworks of traditional finance. Nahas also said the NYSE tested Avalanche for a year, and Ava Labs adjusted the technology to meet the exchange's requirements. CoinNess previously reported that Avalanche had been selected as the sole settlement infrastructure for the NYSE's planned 24-hour tokenized securities trading platform.

Pascal Gauthier, CEO of cryptocurrency hardware wallet maker Ledger, said in a recent interview with Bloomberg Crypto that every company will eventually be hacked. Asked how Ledger assures customers about the security of its devices, Gauthier said perfect security does not exist and that the same applies to every company, including Ledger. In October, some Ledger hardware products were found to have been fitted with malicious hardware, leading to the theft of users’ recovery phrases. On-chain analysts estimated the incident resulted in the theft of digital assets worth as much as $93 million from more than 300 wallets.

Cross-chain protocol Across Protocol (ACX) said its frontend and API were taken offline after a domain hijacking attack and will remain unavailable until security is restored. The protocol said the attacker gained control of the Across domain at around 6:45 p.m. UTC on Nov. 10 through a social engineering attack targeting domain registrar Namecheap. Across said the domain and phishing site have now been fully blocked, though some users who visited before the block may have been affected.

The protocol said it sent direct messages containing transaction histories to users suspected of being affected and advised them to revoke permissions granted to the attacker.

Alan Konevsky, CEO of U.S. blockchain-based securities trading platform tZERO, said in an interview with CoinDesk that tokenization is likely to gain a foothold in mainstream markets within five years. Konevsky said the electronification of the securities industry and the traditional retail sector’s shift to e-commerce typically took five to 10 years to spread in earnest. He added that tokenization has already been underway for three to five years, suggesting the time left before broader mainstream adoption is not long. Konevsky also stressed that traditional finance and digital asset firms could fall behind in market competition if building their own related infrastructure takes two to three years.

Texas state Rep. Ron Reynolds has filed HB 815, a bill that would allow individual cities and counties to invest up to $10 million in public funds in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, according to Bitcoin Magazine. The bill would add cryptocurrency investment provisions to the state’s public funds investment law. The $10 million cap would apply to each local government separately rather than statewide, and school districts would be excluded. If passed, the measure would take effect on Sept. 1, 2027, Bitcoin Magazine reported. The proposed investment scope is not limited to Bitcoin, and the bill does not include detailed rules on asset custody or audits. It is set to be discussed during the regular session of the Texas Legislature, which opens on Jan. 12, 2027, and has not yet been referred to a standing committee.

Retail investor sentiment toward Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP has weakened, according to social media data cited by on-chain analytics firm Santiment. The firm said data from major platforms including X, Reddit and Telegram put the ratio of bullish to bearish views at 0.82 for Bitcoin, 0.88 for Ethereum and 0.49 for XRP. Santiment said pessimism among retail investors could instead raise the likelihood of a rebound in the crypto market. The firm added that rallies in major cryptocurrencies have often started not when investor optimism was spreading, but when fear was intensifying, loss-taking selling was emerging and concerns about further declines were growing. If bearish expectations continue to outweigh bullish ones across major cryptocurrencies, a strong market rebound may lie ahead, according to Santiment.

Layer-1 blockchain Flare (FLR) said it is rolling out the network upgrade go-flare v1.15.1 to patch a vulnerability in upstream code used by nodes, adding the fix has already been tested. The patch had originally been scheduled for later this month, but Flare moved it forward after detecting attempts to exploit the vulnerability during monitoring. The hard fork is set to activate at 2:00 p.m. UTC on Nov. 11, and Flare urged validators and node operators to upgrade as soon as possible. General users do not need to take any action, and the network will continue operating normally after validators upgrade, Flare said, adding the vulnerability does not affect user funds or keys.
