- 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.

- 4 Stocks Where Rising Yields Come From Bigger Dividend Checks, Not Falling Prices
The article contrasts rising dividend yields driven by bigger payouts with those driven by falling share prices, using Visa, JPMorgan Chase and Walmart as examples of the former and Broadcom as a contrast. Visa raised its quarterly dividend 16% to $0.78 from $0.67, a forward yield of about 0.75% at $415 a share, while the stock gained 22.57% over the past year, and fiscal 2026 free cash flow of roughly $22.06 billion covered $20.5 billion of buybacks. JPMorgan raised its quarterly dividend 10% to $1.65 from $1.50, for a forward yield of about 1.91% at $345.44, and the article cites a CET1 ratio of 14.3% alongside a card net charge-off rate of 3.33%. Walmart raised its quarterly dividend to $0.2475 from $0.235, a 5.3% increase and a yield of about 0.82% at $121.25, while Broadcom's dividend held at $0.65 and its shares fell 13.52% over the past year.
- Steve Eisman Says Anthropic's Growth Fell From 147% to 45% Ahead of Its IPO
Steve Eisman says Anthropic's sequential revenue growth fell from 147% in the second quarter to 45% in the third, blaming 'the end of token maxing,' meaning heavy usage that boosts usage-based revenue until it fades. Anthropic's S-1, filed October 26, 2026, for a Nasdaq listing under 'ANT' leaves third-quarter revenue blank. According to an unnamed attendee at an October 14 investor day, third-quarter revenue reached $16.8 billion, up more than 45%, though Anthropic declined to comment. His efficiency gauge, revenue over compute and infrastructure expense, was 2.08 times in the second quarter, matching the filing, and 1.7 in the third quarter by his estimate. Anthropic is reportedly seeking up to $100 billion, with some investors valuing it near $1.5 trillion, and trading could begin on November 26.
- 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.
