A $6.3 billion hack at Binance triggered a sharp crypto selloff, marking what could be the largest cryptocurrency heist ever, before Bitcoin and Ethereum partially recovered as the industry mobilized to contain the damage.
Binance froze approximately $3 billion in assets and pledged to cover all user losses, while withdrawals were suspended pending an investigation; Bitcoin and Ethereum initially fell more than 3% before paring losses.
The breach could intensify security concerns and pressure crypto markets if losses spread or confidence in centralized exchanges deteriorates, despite the rapid industry response.
Cardano is targeting a November 29, 2026 pre-release of Node 11.3, which is expected to include Leios and the complete feature set required for the Dijkstra hard fork.
The planned version brings Leios into Cardano's broader Dijkstra software preparation, following the earlier Node 11.2 pre-release.
If the expected features are delivered, Node 11.3 could move Cardano closer to the Dijkstra hard fork and broader ecosystem integration.
India's Sensex and Nifty surrendered part of their early gains on Friday as weak global markets, rising crude prices and profit-taking weighed on investor sentiment.
The Sensex retreated roughly 350 points from its intraday high, while Nifty fell back from 23,118.10; Brent crude climbed 2% to around $117 per barrel.
Continued global equity weakness, elevated oil prices and foreign investor selling could put further pressure on Indian stocks.
A reported $6.3 billion Binance security breach triggered a sharp crypto sell-off, making it potentially the largest crypto heist on record.
Binance froze approximately $3 billion in assets, pledged to cover all hacking losses, and suspended transactions while investigating the breach, while Bitcoin and Ethereum recovered part of their initial declines.
The incident could intensify crypto market volatility and undermine confidence in centralized exchanges if further losses or wider industry disruption emerge.
China is expected to lose its position as the world's largest LNG importer to Japan this year as weak demand, higher prices and mild winter forecasts weigh on consumption.
ICIS forecasts imports of 61 million metric tons for China versus 62 million for Japan, while Kpler projects 62 million and 63 million, respectively; higher prices are also keeping up to 15 million tons of annual Chinese spot LNG demand off the market.
Persistent demand weakness could pressure global LNG prices and reshape expectations for China's natural gas import growth.
Intel fell more than 23% in U.S. premarket trading after its Q4 guidance came in far below expectations. The company also faces an explosion at its Israel factory, weak PC demand and constrained AI-chip supply.
Amazon fell more than 7% premarket after reporting Q3 net sales of $201.9 billion, below expectations. Its EPS declined 3% year over year to $1.89.
Memory stocks also moved lower before the open: SK Hynix fell more than 6% and SanDisk fell more than 3%. The developments put focus on semiconductor supply conditions, PC demand and cloud-growth updates.

Reported total holdings also include 495,724 ETH, 18,270 BTC, 682.9 million TRX and 970,545 SOL. ETH is the attacker’s main on-chain settlement asset following the conversions.
The Bank of Japan is likely to delay further interest-rate increases while assessing the economic impact of its September hike, despite persistent upside inflation risks.
The BOJ has kept its policy rate unchanged at 1.25% and acknowledged that underlying inflation has reached its 2% target, while J.P. Morgan expects further hikes at a quarterly pace.
The wait-and-assess approach could limit near-term yen support, although expectations of continued quarterly tightening may support the currency over time.
U.S. storage stocks declined broadly in premarket trading on October 30. SK Hynix fell more than 6%, while Western Digital and Seagate Technology each dropped more than 5%. Micron and SanDisk each fell more than 4%.
The move spans major memory and storage hardware names. No specific driver was disclosed in the supplied report. Market attention is on company news, demand data, and whether weakness extends to semiconductors and AI hardware.
Coinbase disclosed that a security incident at analytics provider Amplitude exposed contact information belonging to a small subset of its customers, while confirming that customer funds remain safe.
Coinbase said its own systems were not accessed without authorization and that affected users would receive notifications, but the exact number of customers and exposed data fields remain undisclosed.
The incident could increase phishing risks for affected users and intensify scrutiny of third-party vendor security across the crypto exchange industry.
Binance says the recent attack involved a complex process rather than a single engineer's permissions or a one-click exploit, while its investigation has not identified an individual responsible.
Richard Teng said investigators found no evidence of wallet private key leaks, and Binance will cover all losses using its SAFU fund and company funds.
The commitment to reimburse every loss could limit direct user losses, but the incident could intensify scrutiny of Binance's security infrastructure and operational controls.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill is evaluating options to block Russian diesel cargoes from reaching the state's ports, potentially disrupting a supply deal announced by President Trump.
Three tankers are signaling U.S. destinations, but their final discharge ports remain uncertain, while analysts report little buyer interest despite steep discounts due to legal, political and reputational risks.
A potential blockade could redirect the cargoes to alternative markets such as Brazil and intensify uncertainty around Russian fuel exports and U.S. diesel supplies.
Copper edged lower as rising oil prices and doubts about AI-driven demand weighed on industrial metals and broader risk appetite. LME copper fell 0.43% to $14,294.50 a ton, while Shanghai copper dropped 0.71%; Chinese warehouse inventories declined nearly 18% to 44,612 tons, providing some support. Persistent demand from China could limit further losses, but higher energy costs and weaker confidence in AI-related demand may pressure copper.
European benchmark TTF natural gas prices rose 2.4% to 100.31 euros per megawatt-hour. The reported increase signals an upward move in European gas prices, though no further details on its drivers were provided. Further gains could increase pressure on European energy costs.
Physical gold demand across major Asian markets remained subdued, as Indian buyers delayed purchases while waiting for prices to fall further and Chinese demand stayed muted. Indian dealer premiums eased to $7 an ounce from $9, while international spot gold was on track for a second consecutive monthly decline amid inflation and interest-rate concerns.
First Tin says the outlook for tin remains extremely compelling, citing a forecast supply deficit that could support the metal's market fundamentals.
The company reiterated its positive outlook in its final results announcement, highlighting expected supply constraints in the tin market.
A potential supply deficit could support tin prices if demand remains resilient and the forecast materializes.
Iron ore futures fell as rising Chinese port inventories and persistently weak steel mill profitability reinforced concerns about subdued demand.
China's major port inventories climbed 0.98% week-on-week to 153.72 million tons, while the January Dalian contract dropped 1.18% to 672 yuan per ton; Vale also reported a 20% decline in third-quarter core profit.
Elevated inventories and weak steelmaking margins could continue pressuring iron ore prices and related steelmaking commodities.
Japanese rubber futures fell to a one-month low, extending their losing streak to three consecutive weeks as improving weather in Thailand raised expectations of increased supply.
The April OSE contract dropped 0.58% to 442.40 yen per kg, while the Shanghai January contract declined 0.52% to 19,170 yuan per ton; Thailand forecasts less rain from October 29 to November 4.
Continued favorable weather and subdued downstream demand could maintain downward pressure on natural rubber futures despite historically high Thai domestic prices.
U.S. Treasury yields are expected to remain rangebound in the coming weeks, with the 10-year yield trading near 5%. Concerns over AI-related stocks and rising energy prices have driven rotation into bonds, while money markets are pricing in approximately 55 basis points of Fed rate hikes over 12 months. Continued demand for bonds and evolving expectations for Fed policy could keep Treasury yields relatively stable in the near term.
Crypto markets have demonstrated notable resilience following what is likely the largest crypto hack ever, with proactive responses from exchanges and protocols helping contain the fallout.
Bitcoin pared losses to 0.5% and Ethereum to 0.4%, recovering from earlier declines of around 3% as exchanges, including Binance, responded to the theft of billions from Binance-linked wallets.
The limited downside despite the scale of the breach could help ease fears about crypto market vulnerabilities and support sentiment.
Alphabet shares fell 10% amid a broader Wall Street technology selloff, while rising oil added pressure to the market. According to the supplied summary, Polymarket odds of the S&P 500 opening higher dropped to 14%.
The immediate focus is the S&P 500 open, with Alphabet's decline and broader tech weakness cited as key factors. The source also highlights oil-related stocks and major technology names among affected themes, including Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Microsoft, Fortinet and the Nasdaq-100 ETF.
A massive crypto selloff triggered $1.53 billion in leveraged liquidations over 24 hours, with forced closures overwhelmingly hitting traders betting on higher prices. Bitcoin and ether accounted for approximately $857 million in liquidations, while Binance recorded $754.6 million following its security breach, which reportedly affected $6.3 billion in assets. Continued long liquidations could intensify downside pressure, although a short squeeze during the rebound may accelerate a recovery.
Ethereum client teams have released security updates to address certificate trust-store exposure linked to compromised eMudhra certificate-authority keys. Teku 26.10.3 is recommended for the incident, while Besu 26.10.2 removes affected certificate roots from its Docker images, with no reported successful exploit affecting default mainnet Teku nodes. The incident could reinforce concerns about Ethereum infrastructure security and operational maintenance, but the targeted fixes may limit broader risks to ETH.
Visa has joined Canton Network as a Super Validator, marking a significant step in the payments giant's expansion into institutional blockchain infrastructure.
Visa's CEO announced the move during the company's Q4 earnings call, alongside validator roles on Tempo and Circle's Arc.
Visa's participation could strengthen institutional confidence in Canton Network and increase its adoption among financial institutions, although Canton Coin's token economics remain unchanged.
Vietnam's domestic commodity prices mostly declined week over week on October 30, with robusta coffee, black pepper, and SJC gold recording lower prices. Robusta beans fell to 87.0-87.5 million dong per ton from 90.2-91 million, while SJC gold slipped to 141.4-142.7 million dong per 3.75-gram ingot from 142-143 million. Continued declines in coffee, pepper, and gold prices could signal further near-term softness in Vietnam's domestic commodity market.
Indian equities opened nearly flat as a global technology sell-off and surging crude oil prices weighed on investor sentiment, offsetting domestic institutional buying.
The Nasdaq fell 1.4%, Alphabet plunged 12.6% and crude oil climbed to approximately $103.5 per barrel, while the Sensex and Nifty 50 gained just 0.02% at the open.
Persistent oil price strength, elevated US interest rates and continued foreign investor outflows could intensify pressure on Indian equities and emerging markets.
XRP Ledger developers have proposed four protocol changes to close loopholes that could allow restricted tokens to reach accounts without issuer approval.
The changes are bundled into fixCleanup3_5_0, which has not been activated on mainnet, and requires support from more than 80% of trusted validators for two consecutive weeks to take effect.
The upgrade could strengthen compliance controls for regulated assets on the XRP Ledger, potentially improving institutional confidence in its tokenization infrastructure.
Chicago wheat futures are heading for a ninth consecutive weekly loss despite stronger US export demand and potential Chinese purchases providing a short-term lift.
US wheat export sales reached a 2026-27 marketing-year high of 849,800 metric tons, while prices remain nearly 25% below September highs as expectations of additional Black Sea shipments weigh on the market.
Strong export demand and substantial fund short positions could support a price recovery, but upcoming harvests in Australia and Argentina may limit gains.
Bitcoin's realized volatility has fallen to 25.2%, reaching one of its calmest periods since 2015 as market analyst James Check argues that declining volatility signals growing maturity and strengthens its long-term bull case.
JPMorgan forecasts 10% annualized Bitcoin returns over its long-term investment horizon but still excludes BTC from model portfolios, citing historical volatility and unstable correlations.
If Bitcoin's volatility continues declining and institutional concerns ease, broader portfolio adoption could unlock significant capital inflows, potentially strengthening its long-term outlook.
Asian stocks tumbled as Alphabet's $500 billion market-value wipeout triggered a broader technology selloff, exposing concerns over AI profitability and slowing revenue growth.
South Korea's Kospi fell 3.3%, Nasdaq futures dropped 2.4%, and Samsung and SK Hynix plunged 5.0% and 7.6%, respectively, while Brent crude climbed to $116.10 per barrel.
Continued concerns over AI investment returns and tighter monetary policy could pressure technology stocks and gold, while persistent Middle East supply risks may support elevated oil prices.
India's Sensex edged 0.2% higher to 74,319 as technology stocks and optimism over corporate earnings supported the market despite rising crude oil prices.
TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Wipro and Tech Mahindra gained between 1.1% and 1.9%, while Brent crude climbed to $116.30 amid escalating Middle East tensions.
Continued earnings optimism could support Indian equities, but elevated oil prices and geopolitical risks may limit further upside.
Malaysian palm oil futures are heading for their first weekly loss in four weeks despite remaining on track for a 1.3% monthly gain, as record stockpiles and seasonal production weigh on prices.
Exports surged 46.9%–67.7% during October 1–25, while Malaysia is reviewing a proposal to suspend crude palm oil export taxes as inventories are expected to exceed 3 million tonnes by year-end.
Strong exports and gains in competing oils could support prices, but rising inventories and seasonal production may intensify downside pressure.
Malaysian palm oil futures are heading for their first weekly loss in four weeks despite remaining on track for a 1.3% monthly gain, as record stockpiles and seasonal production weigh on prices.
Exports surged 46.9%–67.7% during October 1–25, while Malaysia is reviewing a proposal to suspend crude palm oil export taxes as inventories are expected to exceed 3 million tonnes by year-end.
Strong exports and gains in competing oils could support prices, but rising inventories and seasonal production may intensify downside pressure.
Malaysian palm oil futures rebounded more than 1% on Friday on bargain buying and strength in competing edible oils, but remained on track for their first weekly loss in four weeks.
The benchmark January contract gained 1.15% to 4,669 ringgit per metric ton, while remaining down 3.9% for the week; stronger crude oil prices also supported palm oil's appeal as biodiesel feedstock.
Expected increases in Malaysian palm oil inventories and a stronger ringgit could limit further upside despite support from competing oils and crude prices.
Copper futures extended their decline for a second consecutive session, falling toward $6.50 per pound as disappointing earnings triggered another selloff in technology and AI stocks.
Hot PCE inflation data and concerns about a potential Fed rate hike added pressure, while tightening physical supplies in China and rising import premiums provided some support.
Continued weakness in tech stocks and higher interest-rate expectations could pressure copper further, although tightening supply may limit the downside.
Lithium miners are continuing to expand production despite a sharp decline in lithium prices, signaling confidence that the current downturn is temporary rather than a fundamental demand weakness.
Lithium carbonate has fallen more than 20% since early September to $15,450 per metric ton, while spodumene concentrate has dropped nearly 40% to $1,385 per ton.
Continued supply expansion amid weakening prices could intensify oversupply concerns and increase pressure on lithium producers if the downturn persists.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their inflow streak to four consecutive days, attracting $17.07 million in net inflows on October 29, while spot Ethereum ETFs suffered $105 million in net outflows.
Ethereum ETFs also recorded their fourth consecutive day of outflows, highlighting a sharp divergence in institutional fund flows between the two largest cryptocurrencies.
Continued ETF inflows could support Bitcoin demand, while persistent Ethereum outflows may intensify selling pressure on ETH.
The Bank of Japan's hawkish outlook signals further monetary tightening ahead, while Japanese stocks extend losses and the yen strengthens following its latest policy decision.
The BOJ raised its fiscal-year inflation forecast to 2.6% from 2.4%, maintained its policy rate at 1.25%, and announced faster sales of Japanese equity ETFs starting in January.
Further rate hikes and continued BOJ ETF selling could intensify pressure on Japanese equities while supporting the yen.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said Leo, the company’s satellite internet service and a Starlink rival, remains on track to launch initial service this year. He added that most Leo-related costs will affect Amazon’s fourth-quarter results. The update links the planned initial launch timing with a disclosed near-term cost impact for Amazon.
Indian equities edged higher as a 1.7% rally in IT stocks and strong earnings-driven gains in Trent and InterGlobe Aviation offset pressure from surging crude oil prices.
The Nifty 50 rose 0.24% to 22,987.40 and the Sensex gained 0.25% to 74,332.39, while Brent crude climbed to $116.2 amid Middle East supply concerns.
Upcoming earnings from Reliance Industries and Sun Pharma could influence market direction, while elevated oil prices and geopolitical tensions may limit further gains.
Stryker (SYK) shares fell 11.8% in after-hours trading after the company's third-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings missed analyst expectations. The earnings miss was the confirmed catalyst for the after-hours decline.
Copper prices edged lower as rising oil prices threatened to weaken industrial demand and technology stock losses dampened risk appetite.
LME copper fell 0.25% to $14,320.50 per ton, while analysts raised their 2026 global surplus estimate to 125,000 tons and nearly doubled the 2027 forecast to 92,000 tons.
Higher energy costs, weaker AI-related demand expectations and growing supply surpluses could continue pressuring copper prices, although resilient Chinese demand may provide support.
The Indian rupee edged up 4 paise to 95.22 against the US dollar, but rising crude oil prices are limiting its recovery.
The US Dollar Index slipped to 101.70 as Treasury yields declined, while Brent crude climbed to $117.84 per barrel amid concerns over supply disruptions linked to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia.
Higher oil prices could intensify pressure on the rupee by increasing India's import bill and demand for US dollars.
Lithium miners are pushing ahead with major production expansions despite a sharp renewed decline in lithium prices, signaling confidence in long-term battery demand.
Lithium carbonate has fallen more than 20% since early September to $15,450 per metric ton, while PLS Group approved a $1.3 billion expansion and Liontown approved a $273 million project.
Rising supply, weaker EV sales and concerns about Chinese inventories could intensify downward pressure on lithium prices if demand fails to absorb additional production.
Kamino has launched a dedicated Solana lending market allowing eligible users to borrow USDC against selected Backpack tokenized equities as collateral.
The initial collateral list includes tokenized shares referencing Micron, SK Hynix, SpaceX and SanDisk, with lending risk parameters managed by Kamino and Allez Labs.
The integration could deepen Solana DeFi activity and expand tokenized equity utility, although liquidation, custody and underlying market-hour risks remain significant.
Standard Chartered says the Binance hack could accelerate the shift from centralized exchanges to decentralized exchanges, potentially strengthening Uniswap's long-term position.
Geoffrey Kendrick maintains his $100 UNI price target for 2030, while the top 10 DEX-to-CEX spot trading ratio reached 23.5% in Q2 2026, up 2.1 percentage points quarter over quarter.
Further near-term crypto weakness remains possible as the Binance hack unfolds, but the incident could accelerate long-term adoption of DEXs and benefit UNI.
Silver's nearly 55% collapse from its January record has failed to revive India's festive buying, with investment demand for coins and bars plunging as consumers fear further declines. New import permits covering about 6,500 tonnes over six months could ease domestic shortages and premiums, while jewellery demand remains more resilient than investment purchases. Weak consumer spending and additional supply could continue pressuring silver prices and limiting a festive-demand recovery.
Better-than-expected rainfall is expected to limit El Niño-related damage to Malaysia's palm oil production in 2027, cushioning a potential global supply shock. Malaysia is forecast to produce 19.8-20 million metric tons, while Indonesia's output is expected to fall by around 2 million tons to 51.7 million. However, intensifying El Niño conditions and steeper Indonesian losses could still leave the global palm oil market in deficit and keep prices elevated.
BNB rose above the $710 threshold and was quoted at $710.07, while still showing a 5.01% decline over the past 24 hours.
The move places focus on whether BNB can hold above the round-number level amid elevated volatility. The supplied market data does not provide flow, volume, or catalyst information, so no specific driver can be confirmed.
Planned U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve replenishment could provide sustained demand of 150,000-200,000 barrels of oil per day, supporting crude prices from November 1. MBSB expects the buying to continue until mid-2029, while forecasting crude prices averaging $80-$90 a barrel in 2027 under its base case of Iran war de-escalation in the first quarter. The additional demand could help establish a firmer price floor even as global inventories recover, though it is unlikely to determine the market's direction alone.
Amazon shares fell sharply after earnings widely described as disappointing. Gene Munster said he sees Amazon becoming an AI powerhouse, while Jim Cramer called the results “very, very good.” The contrast is between the immediate market reaction and bullish views of Amazon’s AI potential. No price, percentage, volume, or financial figures were provided.
Iron ore futures declined as rising Chinese port inventories and persistently weak steel mill profitability reinforced concerns over weakening demand.
Inventories at major Chinese ports climbed 0.98% week-on-week to 153.72 million tons, while the most-traded Dalian January contract fell 0.88% to 674 yuan per ton.
Continued inventory accumulation, weak steel demand, and pressure on major producer Vale could weigh further on iron ore prices and steelmaking commodities.
Indonesia's Pertamina is seeking up to 21 gasoil cargoes totaling 3 million barrels for November delivery, signaling substantial near-term fuel procurement demand.
The requested 2500-ppm sulphur gasoil cargoes are scheduled for delivery between November 1 and 25, while Pertamina previously sought approximately 600,000 barrels for October.
The increased procurement could support regional gasoil demand and potentially intensify competition for available fuel supplies across Asian markets.
Surging oil prices threaten to reverse India's government bond rally, with rising crude costs clouding the economic outlook ahead of a major debt auction.
Brent crude jumped 2.3% to $117.70, while India's 10-year benchmark bond yield could rise 2–3 basis points at Friday's open ahead of a 330 billion-rupee debt sale.
Continued oil strength could push Indian bond yields back toward 7.50%, intensifying pressure on government borrowing costs and investor demand.
Stellar Development Foundation has unveiled Project Thruput, an experimental execution engine that achieved benchmarks of up to 7.02 million payments per second across eight machines.
The tests showed a rise from 1.18 million payments per second on one machine, but the results measure single-validator execution rather than end-to-end public network throughput.
If independently reproduced and eventually integrated into the public network, the technology could strengthen Stellar's scalability and competitiveness, although production performance remains unproven.
The Indian rupee could receive support from a weakening dollar and falling US Treasury yields, but surging oil prices threaten to outweigh those gains.
The dollar index slipped to 101.70, while Brent crude climbed to $117.84 per barrel as escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia fueled supply concerns.
Elevated oil prices could pressure the rupee further, leaving the currency increasingly dependent on Reserve Bank of India intervention.
The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Thursday and upgraded its assessment of U.S. economic expansion from “solid” in September to “strong” in its latest policy statement.
Long-dated U.S. Treasury yields have climbed to near 20-year highs this year as selling pressure spread beyond the policy-sensitive front end of the yield curve. Following Chair Warsh’s press conference, bets on further rate increases declined because he gave no clear commitment on future policy action.
The 2-year/10-year Treasury yield spread, which had flattened in previous weeks, widened again to as much as 34.1 basis points. Yields on most Treasury maturities from the 5- to 7-year sector and longer rose after the decision.
The move reflects investor concern over inflation uncertainty, duration risk and fiscal pressure, while markets are pricing the possibility of another rate increase in December. The Fed said business investment remains strong and job growth is aligned with the size of the labor market, while maintaining its focus on returning inflation to its 2% target.
Malaysian palm oil futures opened 0.56% higher at 4,642 ringgit per ton, supported by stronger rival edible oils and rising crude oil prices, but remain headed for a 3.9% weekly decline.
Higher crude oil prices are improving palm oil's appeal as a biodiesel feedstock, while a stronger Malaysian ringgit is making exports more expensive for foreign buyers.
Potential Indonesian export tax reductions and Malaysia's consideration of a temporary export tax suspension could support palm oil prices, although currency strength and the weekly decline remain headwinds.
Prom has integrated DeAgentAI to give its AI agents cryptographic credentials and verifiable on-chain identities.
The integration enables identifiable agent addresses and could support automated, addressable payments across the Prom ecosystem.
The partnership could strengthen Prom's AI-agent infrastructure and accelerate adoption of verifiable identities and autonomous on-chain payments.
Arbitrum's Security Council has frozen 74.56 million ARB and 8,425 ETH linked to the Binance exploit, moving the funds into an intermediary wallet beyond the hacker's reach.
The emergency freeze on Arbitrum One prevents unauthorized access, with future control of the assets requiring action from the Security Council or Arbitrum DAO governance.
The intervention could limit losses from the Binance exploit and strengthen confidence in Arbitrum's ability to respond to major security incidents.
