The founder of crypto hardware wallet maker OneKey warned BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, could become a target of North Korean hackers, according to crypto news account Solid Intel. No specific attack vector or evidence supporting the threat was disclosed.

Bitcoin closed October at $77,430, while its monthly relative strength index, or RSI, remained above 50 for a third consecutive month, Cointelegraph reported. RSI is a technical indicator that measures the relative strength of price gains and declines, and a reading above 50 is generally seen as signaling stronger bullish momentum. Cointelegraph highlighted the indicator’s continued strength and raised the possibility that Bitcoin could be entering a new bull market.

Twenty-nine percent of investors surveyed said Bitcoin would top $100,000 by year-end if Republicans control the U.S. Congress, Bloomberg reported.

In the scenario where Democrats control Congress, 55% said BTC would fall by year-end but remain above $60,000, while 16% expected it to drop below $60,000.

Bitcoin-based DeFi protocol Threshold said all tBTC node operators have either applied a security patch for a critical Linux kernel vulnerability or shut down their nodes, The Defiant reported. Threshold said it found no signs of attacks on tBTC nodes exploiting the flaw or any unauthorized BTC transfers, and added that tBTC collateral remains intact. The protocol also disclosed that about 0.5 ETH was stolen from one node operator’s transaction fee payout account in a separate security incident, which it said was unrelated to the Linux vulnerability. New tBTC minting and BTC redemptions remain suspended, while restrictions also remain in place on new deposits and additional collateralized borrowing against Aave’s roughly $136.3 million in tBTC reserves.

BTCPay Server urged service operators to immediately shut down running server instances after reports of attacks involving unauthorized withdrawals from hot wallets. In a post on its official X account, BTCPay Server said it was receiving reports that attackers were stealing hot wallet funds and asked operators to suspend active server instances until the security incident investigation is completed. The cause of the attack and the full scale of the damage have not yet been confirmed.

North Korean hackers laundered about $242 million of funds stolen from Binance on the Tron network over two days, The Block reported, citing on-chain analyst SomaXBT. The hackers were able to move about $249 million, excluding 378.7 million USDT frozen by Tether, and around $194 million of that was transferred to other networks through cross-chain bridges and swap services, according to the analysis. The main routes were Relay ($48 million), THORChain ($44 million), Chainflip ($32.1 million) and Symbiosis ($16 million). The FBI identified the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor as being behind the attack and urged the industry to block transactions involving related addresses.

On-chain analyst Darkfost pushed back against macroeconomics expert Henrik Zeberg’s bearish Bitcoin outlook, arguing the call lacks credibility. Zeberg had said BTC could rebound to $115,000, but described the move as only a temporary "Fool's Rally" during a broader bear market rather than the start of a new bull cycle, with a severe crash to follow. Darkfost said Zeberg’s view implies BTC would fall below $16,000 based on a break below a chart trendline and support on the relative strength index, or RSI. Darkfost also criticized the Elliott Wave analysis behind the forecast, saying it makes no sense to project wave C falling three times more than wave A.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao thanked the U.S. Secret Service, law enforcement agencies and industry participants for helping trace and freeze stolen funds within minutes of a recent hack worth more than $6 billion, adding that the effort remains ongoing. In a post on X, Zhao said the swift response and professionalism helped contain the damage and reduce risks that could have spread beyond the crypto market into traditional financial markets. Zhao added that the U.S. Secret Service is continuing its investigation into the Binance hack.

Bitcoin staking protocol b14g was hit by a hack that drained around 97 million CORE worth $1.5 million, The Block reported. According to blockchain analytics firm Bitquery, the attacker sent requests setting the withdrawal amount to zero for 91 staking positions the attacker did not own. On the Core network, staking code treats a zero withdrawal amount as a full withdrawal, and losses occurred as b14g failed to block those requests. b14g said it has temporarily paused the related contracts, with about 68 million stolen CORE still on the Core network and about 9 million frozen at exchanges.

Binance recorded $2.51 billion in net cryptocurrency outflows from addresses tracked by DefiLlama on Nov. 1 as the exchange gradually resumed withdrawals after a hack, CryptoSlate reported. By asset, net outflows totaled $1.083 billion in USDT, $912 million in BTC, $385 million in USDC and $131 million in wrapped Ethereum. Binance has been sequentially restoring withdrawals across 15 blockchain networks after security checks following a $6.3 billion hack. However, the exchange also introduced new wallets to process withdrawals, making it difficult to interpret the full observed net outflow as customer fund flight.

Binance transferred 21,750 BTC worth $1.69 billion between its cold and hot wallets around two hours ago, according to Onchain Lens. Onchain Lens said the fund movement may have been a preparatory step to safeguard customer assets following a recent hack.

Cross-chain interoperability protocol THORChain said it halted trading across multiple blockchains after an Ethereum block reorganization on Oct. 31 caused 10 ETH that had not been deposited into a vault to be refunded. The user returned the 10 ETH, restoring the vault’s solvency. Core developers are working on the necessary fixes, and node operators will decide whether to resume trading once each chain is deemed safe.
