Nasdaq-listed crypto exchange Coinbase denied reports that it was hacked, saying its systems were not accessed without authorization and customer funds remain safe. The incident originated at Amplitude, a third-party analytics provider, and exposed contact information for a small subset of Coinbase customers along with data related to other Amplitude clients. Coinbase is notifying affected customers by email as required by law, but has not said how many were affected or which contact fields were involved. Although passwords, private keys and funds were not compromised, exposed email addresses and phone numbers could still be used in phishing and social-engineering attacks.

- Trump didn‘t mention ‘crypto’ once in White House cybercrime roundtable
At a White House cybercrime roundtable, President Trump said “countless” Americans lost more than $20 billion in 2025 to cybercrime and that federal officials froze $1 billion in “cybercurrency” tied to foreign scammers. Neither Trump nor Attorney General Todd Blanche explicitly mentioned cryptocurrency or digital assets, even though reports before the event had signaled a focus on crypto scams. The FBI reported that Americans lost $11 billion in 2025 to scams involving digital assets, including through crypto ATMs. The article also points to Trump family crypto ventures, which netted him $1.4 billion in 2025 according to a Public Citizen report, while his alleged schemes cost investors about $4.7 billion.

- How Brooklyn prosecutors and the FBI took down a massive crypto fraud network targeting Russian speakers
Brooklyn prosecutors and the FBI seized or disrupted 241 scam websites and 112 servers tied to a crypto investment fraud that targeted Russian speakers in the US. The scheme allegedly stole tens of millions of dollars through Russian-language Facebook ads and fake advisers, who pushed victims to buy crypto and send it to fake trading platforms. A few weeks later, the scammers returned with false offers to recover the lost money. Investigators targeted the servers because 400 earlier-seized domains had been quickly replaced; no arrests were announced, and about $300,000 has been seized so far. Crypto scams accounted for roughly 84% of the $8.65 billion in investment-fraud losses reported to the FBI in 2025.

Brooklyn prosecutors, working with the FBI, disrupted 112 servers and seized or disrupted 241 web domains used in a crypto investment scam that targeted Russian-speaking Americans through Facebook ads. Prosecutors estimate the scheme stole tens of millions of dollars, some of it victims' entire life savings, after scammers posing as “investment advisors” coached victims into buying crypto and sending it to platform addresses. The scammers also ran a recovery scam, promising to return stolen funds. The unit had been investigating for three years and had already taken down 400 linked domains before this operation. About $300,000 has been seized so far, and the office is working to recover more.

- Bitcoin nears $81,000 ahead of Fed decision as ZEC jumps 8%
Bitcoin rose nearly 2% to just under $81,000 in Wednesday's Asian morning session, recovering from a weekend dip to nearly $79,000 as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Among major cryptocurrencies, ZEC led with an 8% jump to about $1,320, HYPE gained nearly 5%, and XRP and DOGE rose roughly 3%.

- Robinhood’s Tenev warns US tokenization uncertainty deters ‘serious assets’
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says uncertainty over how long US tokenization rules will last could keep investors from putting substantial assets into tokenized markets, even though the SEC has opened a temporary path through an innovation exemption. He says further rulemaking or legislation is needed to provide longer-term certainty, and Binance Research projects the tokenized equities market could reach $349 billion by 2030 under its base case, from $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15. In the third quarter, Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% year on year to $120 million and crypto notional trading volume fell 38% to $50 billion. By contrast, event-contract revenue rose sixfold to $173 million, and total net revenue rose 12% to a record $1.42 billion, below analyst expectations. Adjusted EPS was $0.60, missing estimates by 4 cents.
- Is Anthropic a SaaS Stock? Here's How It Stacks Up With the Other Top Software Players
Anthropic has released its S-1 filing ahead of what could be the biggest IPO ever, targeting a valuation of around $2 trillion. Although it is often called an AI lab, the company shares several traits with SaaS stocks: it sells Claude and Claude Code through monthly subscriptions and reports metrics such as customers by annual recurring revenue (ARR), with more than 11,900 customers at $10,000 or more ARR as of the end of the third quarter. Sales, marketing and partnerships took less than 20% of revenue in the first half of 2026, and the company had 5,300 employees at the end of the third quarter, far fewer than Salesforce's roughly 83,000. Based on third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion (annualised to $67 billion), the $2 trillion valuation implies a price-to-sales ratio of around 30, close to Datadog at 25.4 and Snowflake at 21.9. The article says this looks relatively low given sequential revenue growth of nearly 50% and adjusted profitability, though the stock carries risks such as large cloud spending commitments.
