Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) asked Elon Musk to stop 'trolling' the exchange after the SpaceX and Tesla CEO posted emoji that appeared to mock the cyberattack on Binance, which caused losses of 6.3 billion USD on October 29. CZ pointed out that Binance holds SpaceX shares worth over 1 billion USD, stemming from its 500 million USD investment in Musk's Twitter acquisition, though this is a tiny fraction of SpaceX's valuation of about 2,000 billion USD. The feud is not new: in November 2021, Musk called Binance's temporary suspension of Dogecoin withdrawals 'shady', and CZ responded by citing Tesla's recall of nearly 12,000 vehicles in the US.

- Elon Musk’s “surprising” reaction to the biggest crypto heist in history
Binance estimates the total value of affected assets at about USD 6.3 billion, higher than the initial analyst estimates of USD 5.6–5.7 billion. Elon Musk posted “Everyday is Zeroday” on X, a reaction described as unsurprised. Binance said the initial cause may be a compromised laptop of a DevOps engineer, which allowed attackers to access an internal service container and send unauthorized withdrawals; some blockchain analysts reported the use of EIP-7702 delegation to take control of Binance’s hot wallet 14. About USD 3 billion has been frozen, up from USD 2.54 billion, mainly thanks to Tether (over 1.567 billion USDT), Circle (over 800 million USDC) and Ripple (about 200 million USD). Binance stresses that USD 6.3 billion is not the final loss and pledges to fully compensate users using the SAFU fund and company capital.
- Elon Musk, CZ Trade Blows Over SpaceX Shares After $6.4B Binance Hack
CZ, Binance's co-founder, asked Elon Musk to stop trolling the exchange after Musk appeared to mock it following a $6.4 billion hack, the largest in history. CZ noted that Binance's SpaceX shares, from a $500 million investment tied to Musk's Twitter takeover, are worth more than $1 billion. Binance co-CEO Yi He said the company's annual revenue can cover the losses without selling its SpaceX holdings, and CZ later clarified he had never suggested a sale. Binance has reserved more than $6.34 billion in company funds to cover the incident, and TRM Labs and Chainalysis attributed the attack to North Korea-linked hacking group TraderTraitor.
- Binance hackers raced to move billions before it could be frozen
Hackers stole an estimated $6.3 billion from Binance in the largest crypto attack on record, which began at 8:04 pm UTC Thursday and is linked to the North Korean group behind last month's Bitget hack. The attackers quickly converted USDT and USDC, which issuers can freeze, into BTC and ETH, with $325 million of USDT sold to market makers for ETH before 20:59 UTC. Tether froze around $1.567 billion in USDT and Circle around $823 million in USDC, and Binance said about $3 billion of the $6.3 billion has been frozen. On Aave, the attackers deposited $60 million in USDT and borrowed $44.6 million of WETH about 40 minutes before the first freeze, and Aave said the position remained overcollateralized. Elliptic estimated $2.84 billion was frozen by 7:00 am UTC Friday while the attackers still controlled around $3.33 billion, and freezing does not automatically return funds.
- Weekly Wrap: Crypto Plunges After Binance Hack
Bitcoin fell 5% to $77,000 and Ethereum fell 4% to $2,240 on the afternoon of Oct. 30, after reports of a $6.3 billion theft at Binance, described as the worst cryptocurrency attack ever. Binance temporarily suspended withdrawals, expects to resume them within 48 hours, and pledged to cover all losses, but reports say institutions are pulling assets from other exchanges. Elsewhere, Ripple secured a U.S. national trust bank license, while Datavault AI said it cannot access a large part of its Bitcoin and will restate its results, reducing reported assets by $92.2 million. Visa said its annualized stablecoin settlement volume surpassed $25 billion, a tenfold increase from a year earlier. Strategy's CFO Andrew Kang will step down on Nov. 5.
- Worried About Crypto Hacks? Buy Bitcoin Proxies in Stock Market Instead, Say Wall Street Firms
Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald, TD Cowen and Compass Point say the roughly $6.3 billion Binance hack, the largest crypto theft ever, is unlikely to derail the broader market's recovery. Cantor's Ramsey El-Assal noted stablecoin issuers froze about $3 billion of the stolen funds, including over $1.5 billion by Tether, and said he would buy on weakness, expecting Coinbase, Robinhood and Strategy shares to recover. TD Cowen views the breach as a Binance security problem rather than a Bitcoin one, while Compass Point says Binance has more than enough liquidity to cover the shortfall, though reimbursements could strain stablecoin supply. Moody's Ratings is more cautious, citing hot-wallet cybersecurity risks and concentration risk at centralized intermediaries, with broader impact depending on final losses and confidence. Binance has set aside $6.34 billion to cover losses, the Secret Service and FBI have opened a probe, and TRM and Chainalysis link the hack to North Korea's TraderTraitor group.

- Amazon Just Lost $42 Billion in Free Cash Flow. Is It a Red Flag for Investors?
Amazon posted strong growth in the quarter, with revenue up 17% to $201.9 billion after adjusting for foreign exchange and the Prime Day shift, and operating income up 61% to $28.1 billion. Yet the stock fell 1.4% in the regular session and tumbled about 7% after hours, as investors are skeptical of its massive AI-related capital expenditure, planned at $220 billion this year. In the third quarter alone, Amazon reported a free cash flow loss of $33.4 billion while spending $77.3 billion on property and equipment, and it has burned $42 billion in free cash flow over the last four quarters. The article says this equals 5.4% of trailing revenue, comparable to past cycle peaks such as 4.8% in 2022. Amazon forecasts 40% AWS growth over the next two years, and the author argues the spending could pay off through AWS.
- Why Arm Holdings Stock Plummeted by Nearly 10% Today
Arm Holdings shares fell almost 10% in Friday's session amid a broad sell-off in semiconductor stocks. The trigger was Intel's third-quarter report: although revenue grew in double digits and its data center and AI unit gained substantially, its fourth-quarter guidance was unexpectedly weak, forecasting sequential declines in revenue, gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per share, well below analyst estimates. Many chip stocks fell heavily, with Intel's outlook seen as a warning sign for the sector. The author argues markets tend to overreact and that Arm faces risks from the current contraction in PC shipments and rising component costs, though its asset-light licensing model may leave it less exposed than Intel. The author says they are waiting for Arm's fiscal second-quarter 2027 results, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4 after market close.
- Is Intel Stock a Buy After Its Post-Earnings Plunge?
Intel shares fell sharply after hours on Thursday, from a $92.07 regular-session close to about $71, following third-quarter results. Revenue rose 21% year over year to $16.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.52 beat guidance, but the fourth-quarter outlook of $15.0–16.0 billion in revenue and $0.25 in EPS was weaker. Data center and AI revenue jumped 78% to $7.3 billion, while PC-related revenue fell 5% to $8.1 billion. Intel expects PC segment revenue to drop over 20% next quarter as industry PC units shrink about 12% in 2026 and 10% in 2027, and an accident that shut its Fab 28 plant in Israel also weighs on results. The author judges it is not yet time to buy, given the stock trades near 33 times expected 2027 earnings and the diluted share count is expected to be about 20% above the third quarter of 2025.
- Jim Cramer says it's time to look beyond tech. Here are 4 consumer stocks he likes
CNBC's Jim Cramer said investors seeking to diversify away from the struggling AI trade should consider consumer staples stocks. In October the Nasdaq-100 fell almost 7% as money rotated into defensive sectors, while the consumer staples index rose 11.4%. Cramer highlighted four stocks: Kimberly-Clark (up nearly 11% in October, under 15 times earnings, 4.7% dividend yield, with a pending merger with Kenvue); Procter & Gamble (up 11%, seen as attractive after better-than-expected quarterly results, though he prefers Kimberly-Clark's lower valuation and higher yield); Constellation Brands (up 20%, about 11 times earnings, yield above 3%, showing signs of a turnaround); and Coca-Cola (up 9%, after a strong quarter driven by volume).
- Why Bright Horizons Family Solutions Stock Swooned on Friday
Bright Horizons Family Solutions (BFAM) stock fell almost 18% on Friday after the child care company cut its 2026 guidance. For the third quarter, revenue of nearly $841.5 million rose almost 5% year over year, and adjusted EPS of $1.80 beat the $1.76 analyst estimate, though revenue missed the roughly $842.7 million consensus. Full-year 2026 revenue is now expected at about $3.07 billion, down from almost $3.09 billion to just under $3.12 billion, and adjusted EPS guidance was lowered to $4.98–$5.03 from $5.05–$5.15. Management attributed the cuts to an ongoing UK regulatory safeguarding notice and a softening child care market in Australia, which prompted an internal review of strategic alternatives for that business. The article notes the stock looks cheap on valuation metrics but needs growth from its full-service centers and a resolution of the Australia situation to draw renewed investor interest.
- What Are Dell Investors Betting On?
A Trefis analysis says Dell Technologies (DELL) trades at 26.6 times adjusted earnings over the twelve months to July 2026, so buyers at that price are betting on much higher profit. Consensus forecasts put fiscal 2027 profit at $18.5 billion, versus $7.05 billion in fiscal 2026, and sales at $195 billion, up from $113.5 billion. Revenue grew 71% in the first half of fiscal 2027, and management raised its full-year sales guidance to $192 billion from $167 billion, with AI server revenue expected at $74 billion and a record $95 billion AI backlog. The main risk the article identifies is the net margin: consensus assumes 9.5% in fiscal 2027 versus 6.2% in fiscal 2026, while AI servers carry lower margins and Dell is supply constrained on DRAM and NAND memory chips. If Dell misses that margin, the article says investors would be paying for profit not yet shown over a full year, making the stock more of a gamble.
