- Binance Hacker Hunts for Exit Ramps as DeFi Exchanges Pause Markets
Wallets linked to Binance were drained of at least $5.5 billion, and the total is still rising. The funds were moved through the decentralized exchange Uniswap and the lending app Aave, swapping stablecoins that issuers can freeze for ETH, which has no issuer able to freeze it. Stablecoin issuers have frozen more than $2 billion in USDT and USDC, and Ripple has frozen about $200 million in RLUSD, according to Binance co-CEO Yi He. Even so, about 253,000 ETH, roughly $570 million, sat in two wallets with no outgoing transfers as of 22:07 UTC. Aave froze its V3 markets on Ethereum, Kamino paused borrowing in its SOL/BTC market as a precaution, and Binance said it was investigating the security incident but had not confirmed that user funds were affected.

- Ethereum’s four-minute settlement plan could lower the cost of moving crypto
Ethereum researchers have proposed cutting the wait for transaction finality from about 16 minutes to roughly four minutes, though the draft is unfinished and has no activation date. Faster finality would let transfer services recover and reuse funds sooner; for a service fronting $1 million an hour, the idle money waiting on repayment would fall from about $267,000 to about $67,000. The plan would split validators’ block-selection and finality votes, allowing faster locking-in and an eventual move to quantum-resistant signatures. Many details, such as voting timings and penalties, remain unresolved, and Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade targets about 150 milliseconds.
- Bitmine's Tom Lee Warns of a Potential Sell-Off in Ethereum. Here's the Most Likely Scenario for ETH.
Tom Lee, chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), warns that a heavy sell-off in South Korean tech stocks could trigger secondary liquidations in crypto, since many Korean tech investors also hold crypto and may sell it to offset stock losses. That could hit Ethereum (ETH), which Bitmine has been accumulating since June 2025. Lee expects only “short-term pain,” but the article argues that a collapse of the AI bubble would spread losses across global tech and crypto markets, turning it into “long-term pain.” Ethereum is already down 50% from its August 2025 highs and trades at $2,450, so a return to $5,000 would be hard if the AI trade collapses. The article adds that many cryptocurrencies now trade like tech stocks, and since much crypto trades offshore, overnight events abroad can quickly affect ETH's price.
- Stablecoin transfers quadruple to $891B as US banks expand adoption: Report
A Coinbase-commissioned report by The Block Research says stablecoin transfers reached $891 billion in Q3 2026, more than quadrupling since early 2023, with 73% of volume occurring outside US banking hours. Seven of the 10 largest US banks have tested stablecoins or tokenized deposits for settlement, and 30% of mid-market companies in cross-border business are using or piloting them, up from 10% in 2024. B2B payment volume rose 36% year over year. A separate survey found 42% of US adults (about 112 million people) would be more likely to open an account at a bank offering crypto services, while 64% said their bank or financial advisor had never raised the topic. Meanwhile, stablecoin market capitalization stood at $301.42 billion, down about 0.6% from $303.14 billion on Oct. 20, 2025.
- JPMorgan Deploys JPM Coin on Ethereum Mainnet — Institutional Stablecoin Payments Go Multi-Chain
JPMorgan has made its JPM Coin, a permissioned USD deposit token, available to institutional clients on the Ethereum mainnet from October 19, 2026, after its initial launch on Base in November 2025. Access is limited to approved counterparties through the Kinexys platform, so the token serves wholesale settlement rather than free circulation. The article says the decision is driven by Ethereum's scale, with nearly $50 billion in crypto assets locked in its applications per DeFiLlama, and the move extends beyond the Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion in transactions daily. The timing comes ahead of the GENIUS Act's January 18, 2027 effective date, as institutions need verifiable production track records for their digital asset initiatives. Most major U.S. banks still operate on private networks, which makes JPMorgan's public-mainnet move a differentiator.

- AMD to report Q3 results following disappointing showing from Intel
AMD will report third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, as Wall Street looks for signs of AI chip demand after a sharp AI-trade sell-off and a disappointing Q4 outlook from Intel (INTC) last week. Intel guided Q4 revenue to $15 billion to $16 billion, well below the $17 billion analysts expected, sending its stock down nearly 29%; the company blamed a steeper-than-expected decline in the PC market. Analysts expect AMD to earn $1.97 per share on $13 billion in revenue, versus $1.20 and $9.2 billion a year earlier. Data Center sales are forecast at $8.19 billion, up 88% from $4.34 billion, while the gaming business could fall 49% to $655 million as higher memory and storage prices weigh on demand. Client revenue, which includes PC sales, is projected at more than $3.06 billion, up 11% year over year but flat sequentially.
- Why Musk's telecom play is no 'Hail Mary' fix
Two speakers discuss Elon Musk's push into telecoms over the past few months. One says the move may lift the stock briefly but is not a Hail Mary that will turn the business around, since telecom is heavily scrutinized for antitrust and not very lucrative; this speaker also doubts Musk's statements that funding is secured and wants to know what he is worried about in ongoing investigations. The other speaker views SpaceX's entry into telecoms positively, as a sign of diversification beyond AI and space, while the first asks when that could become an issue.
- Eli Lilly Just Delivered Another Blowout Quarter. Is This Unstoppable Growth Stock Still a Buy?
Eli Lilly reported third-quarter revenue up 39% year over year to $24.4 billion, driven mainly by GLP-1 drugs: Mounjaro rose 65% to $10.7 billion and Zepbound rose 49% to $5.4 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $7.48, up 7%, held back by acquisition-related expenses, but both revenue and earnings beat analyst estimates. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $91 billion to $92 billion from $85 billion to $87 billion, and its shares jumped after the report. The article argues the GLP-1 market still has room to expand given low penetration, and views Lilly's pipeline, including retatrutide, as among the strongest in the field, while noting pricing pressure and competition from new medicines over the medium term.
- Why Lumentum Stock Fell 14.9% Today
Lumentum shares fell 14.9% intraday despite a strong first-quarter report, with revenue more than doubling 136.5% to $1.26 billion and adjusted EPS of $4.57. The company agreed to be acquired by Marvell Technology in an all-stock deal of 4.5 Marvell shares for each Lumentum share, with closing expected in the first half of calendar 2028. The deal was valued at $115 billion, or about $1,132 per Lumentum share, based on October 28 prices; at Monday's midday prices the offer was worth about $800 per share after Marvell fell 9.5%. Lumentum traded 10.6% below that implied value, and the two stocks together erased nearly $28 billion in market value on Monday. The companies expect more than $1 billion in annual cost savings.
- North Korea Is Laundering Binance Hack Loot at One New Wallet Every 25 Seconds
According to Elliptic, North Korean hackers spread the $6.43 billion stolen from Binance across about 12,000 wallets on 11 blockchains in under four days, with more than 40,000 transactions. Thanks to fast freezes by Tether and Circle, about 44% of the funds, or $2.85 billion, has been frozen or seized, compared with roughly 3% after the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025, though about $786 million in stablecoins still got away. About $3.24 billion remains in linked addresses, and Elliptic expects the funds to be cashed out over months through over-the-counter brokers. The FBI has attributed the attack to TraderTraitor, a North Korean state-linked hacking group.
- 5 must-read analyst questions from Reddit’s Q3 earnings call
Reddit's third-quarter results beat estimates, with revenue of $895 million up 53% year on year and adjusted EPS of $2.07, yet the stock drew a significant negative market reaction. Revenue guidance of $1.02 billion for the fourth quarter sat below analyst estimates of $1.04 billion. In the Q&A, analysts pressed on the shift to a logged-in-only experience, the sharp drop in traffic from Google, and how to model user monetization. CEO Steve Huffman said logged-in and app users make up the vast majority of engagement and over 80% of the monetization on Reddit, described the transition as a test that will be permanent, and confirmed it will make Reddit harder to scrape.
