Unusually large Bitcoin price moves have become more frequent than in the past even as overall volatility has declined, CoinDesk reported. Bitcoin has logged 10 three-sigma moves so far in 2026, above the eight recorded during the 2018 bear market. A three-sigma move refers to a price change that falls well outside the normal range based on recent volatility. Bitcoin’s annualized volatility fell to around 46% this year from about 84% in 2018, while the average size of three-sigma moves narrowed to about 7% from 10%. In other words, average price fluctuations have eased, but sharp moves relative to recent volatility have occurred more often. Market participants cited macroeconomic shocks and leverage and crowded positioning in derivatives markets as the main drivers. They said concentrated option-selling strategies built on expectations of persistently low volatility can amplify sudden price swings through position liquidations when unexpected news emerges.

Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès said he found a suspected spy module inside a Ledger Nano X hardware wallet delivered from Malaysia, as Ledger investigates large-scale crypto theft affecting users who bought products through Southeast Asian authorized reseller CryptoBilis. Karpelès said the device’s shrink wrap appeared intact, but a hidden module had been installed where the internal display pad should have been. The device was said to include a SIM chip. Karpelès also released photos comparing a genuine circuit board with the suspected module and argued tampering devices have evolved from manually wired modifications to circuit-board-style components that can be mistaken for authentic parts. He added that even when a device’s exterior and packaging appear undamaged, internal tampering may be difficult to detect visually. Ledger has not officially confirmed the module’s function or any link between the device and the recent crypto theft cases involving CryptoBilis buyers. It therefore remains unclear whether the device actually had information-stealing capabilities or was used in the recent theft incidents.

Brazil’s B3, the country’s largest stock exchange, is pushing to launch a tokenized asset trading platform in the first half of next year, Bitcoin.com reported.

B3 is also reviewing whether to include Brazilian depositary receipts, or BDRs, and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, among the assets to be tokenized.
