- Live News: Binance hack rattles crypto as Intel plunges and AI spending fears hit tech
- Bitcoin price metrics hint at rebound as $1.6B liquidations follow Binance hack
Bitcoin held above $76,000 after a $6.3 billion hack of Binance and a tech-stock sell-off, with 24-hour crypto liquidations of $1.56 billion, of which long positions made up $1.31 billion according to CoinGlass. Downside momentum cooled after Binance confirmed that all user losses would be covered from its SAFU fund and other company resources. Bitcoin's RSI dropped to 34.7, its lowest since June 30 and approaching the oversold zone below 30, while the four-hour RSI showed a bullish divergence from price. Price closed below the lower Bollinger Band, a move last seen on June 25, leaving it more than two standard deviations below the 20-day SMA of $81,324. Intel shares plunged 26% premarket after guiding fourth-quarter sales to $15–16 billion, below the $17–18 billion analysts had projected.
- Premarket movers: Intel, Amazon drop; Crypto stocks slide after Binance theft
U.S. stock index futures fell sharply on Friday, with Nasdaq 100 futures down more than 2% on concerns over rising AI infrastructure costs. At 04:04 ET, Nasdaq 100 futures were down 640 points (2.16%), S&P 500 futures 77.5 points (1%) and Dow futures 25 points (0.05%). Intel shares plunged about 25% premarket after warning it expects to burn cash this year amid manufacturing bottlenecks and PC weakness, while Amazon fell 6.5% on a holiday-quarter sales forecast below expectations. Crypto-linked stocks tumbled after reports of a $6.36 billion theft from Binance, with funds moved across 10 blockchains in about 20 minutes, while Coinbase and Strategy were indicated down 5.2% and 5.1%. Reddit fell around 23%, Twilio 17.5% and Roblox 19.1% premarket, the last after daily active users fell 9% to 138 million.
- What is EIP-7702? The Ethereum Upgrade Behind the $6.4B Binance Hack
EIP-7702 is an Ethereum upgrade activated in May 2025 that lets standard wallets temporarily take on smart contract abilities, such as batched transactions, gas sponsorship and limited-permission keys. However, delegated code gets full access to the wallet's funds. On October 29, 2026, an attacker drained some $6.4 billion from Binance wallets across 10 blockchains, mostly within about 20 minutes, and TRM Labs and Chainalysis attributed the theft to North Korea's TraderTraitor group. On Ethereum, the attacker used 50 pre-signed authorizations to turn a Binance hot wallet into a sweeper, while Binance wallets on the other 9 blockchains sent funds through ordinary signed transfers. TRM Labs said this points to a compromise of Binance's hot wallet signing infrastructure rather than a flaw in Ethereum itself.
- Inside the hunt for the hacker group that stole $6.3 billion: Where do the investigation leads point?
The $6.3 billion theft reportedly began when a DevOps engineer's laptop on Binance's internal infrastructure was compromised, rather than through a leak of wallet private keys. The exchange worked with blockchain partners to freeze about $3 billion on-chain, pledged to cover all losses from company funds and its emergency reserve, and expects to resume withdrawals within 48 hours. Blockchain analysts including TRM Labs and Chainalysis said the attack bears the hallmarks of North Korean cybercriminal groups, which Pyongyang firmly denied, calling the accusations fabricated. Co-CEO Richard Tend said the investigation has not yet identified any individual responsible or found evidence of a private-key leak. Bitcoin hit a six-week low of $76,368, while Ether fell more than 3% to a two-month low of $2,178 before markets stabilized.
- World's Largest Crypto Heist: Hackers Steal $6.3 Billion From Binance in Just 20 Minutes
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, lost $6.3 billion to hackers in a record heist that TRM Labs and Chainalysis attribute to North Korea. According to the two firms, most of the attack took place within about 20 minutes starting late on October 29, with assets moved to wallets controlled by the hackers. Binance said the initial cause was a compromised laptop belonging to an engineer, that about $3 billion has been located, and that withdrawals are expected to resume within 48 hours, while it did not address the status of the remaining $3.3 billion. Bitcoin hit a six-week low of $76,368, Ether fell to $2,178, and BNB dropped 5% to $709.70.

- Is High-Yield Verizon a Stock a Buy Despite SpaceX Worries?
Verizon's third-quarter results showed 406,000 net postpaid phone additions, up 820% year over year and its best Q3 in five years, plus 137,000 net account additions. Revenue rose 1.5% to $34.3 billion and adjusted EPS climbed 8.3% to $1.31, while the company raised its 2026 postpaid phone additions outlook to 1.1 million to 1.2 million and its adjusted EPS growth outlook to 7% to 7.5%. The stock has fallen on concerns that SpaceX could enter the U.S. mobile market, and CEO Dan Schulman said building a terrestrial network would require 65,000 to 80,000 macro sites, cost $300 billion to $500 billion and take four to six years. The author views the stock as cheap, citing a dividend yield above 6.5%, a 11% free cash flow yield and an 8-times forward P/E.
- AMD Is Chasing Nvidia in AI, but Investors Could Win Either Way
AMD reported second-quarter Data Center revenue of $6.72B, up 107% and 58% of total revenue, and CEO Lisa Su said the company enters the second half with strong momentum. Shares are up 164.77% year to date at $567.04, though they fell 10.08% over the past month. The average analyst price target of $637.61 implies about 12% upside, while expected 2027 EPS growth of 108% and revenue growth of 75% are seen as aggressive. The article says reaching $1,000 per share by 2027 would require a 76% gain, with hurdles including Helios yields, data center power availability and export controls, and that AMD trades at 36x 2027 estimates.
- What it will take for Alphabet's low P/E ratio to rebound: AlphaSpace
Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi notes that Alphabet's P/E has fallen to its lowest level since 2012 after the company posted negative free cash flow of $9.1 billion in the quarter, versus a Wall Street estimate of negative $3.5 billion, and more than $500 billion in market value was erased in a single day. He argues earnings estimates have not bottomed, citing slowing search and YouTube. For the P/E to recover, he says estimates would need to rise, the market would need to believe earnings will reaccelerate around mid next year, or Alphabet would need to cut capex, and he does not expect this to happen in the near term.

- Gold plunges through $4,000/oz: what's happening?
Spot gold fell nearly $119, about 2.95%, to around $3,901/oz, its lowest in roughly a year and more than $1,000 below its peak above $5,000 earlier this year. Rate expectations weighed on prices: US Q3 employment costs rose 0.8%, Q3 GDP grew 3.4% year on year and September PCE climbed 3.6%, pushing back hopes for an early Fed easing. The Fed held its target rate at 3.75-4.00% with a 10-2 vote, and two members wanted a 25 basis-point hike. Gold kept falling despite higher oil prices after a tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz, as the 10-year Treasury yield eased about 7 basis points to 4.98%. Silver also slid to about $49/oz, its lowest in over a year.
