- Nasdaq futures tumble; Binance suffers massive hack - what’s moving markets
Nasdaq 100 futures slumped 646 points, or 2.2%, early Friday, extending the prior session's 1.38% decline in the Nasdaq Composite as Amazon and Intel earnings added to concerns over massive AI spending. Alphabet had its worst day ever on Thursday, losing more than half a trillion dollars in market value, while Microsoft completed a $25 billion bond offering to help fund its AI ambitions. Binance said $6.3 billion was stolen in a hack, about half of the affected assets were frozen by stablecoin issuers such as Tether and Circle, and Bitcoin fell 2.6% to $78,001.8. Amazon shares fell more than 6% and Intel shed more than 25% premarket, after Intel forecast fourth-quarter sales of $15 billion to $16 billion, below the $17 billion estimate. The Bank of Japan kept its rate at 1.25% and said it will speed up its sale of stock.
- 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.
- Binance working with FBI to recover assets following $6.3B hack
Binance is working with law enforcement, including the FBI according to a source, to recover stolen funds from the record $6.3 billion exploit. The exchange said $3 billion of the stolen assets have been frozen by industry partners and that it has set aside more than $6.34 billion of company funds to cover losses, $5 billion of which is held in the exact stolen tokens. According to DefiLlama, Binance processed about $6 billion in outflows over the past 24 hours. The article also recalls that in 2022 the US Justice Department seized 94,000 Bitcoin worth $3.6 billion linked to the 2016 Bitfinex hack.
- Binance says it holds $5B in matching tokens to cover hack losses
Binance said it has set aside more than $6.34 billion in company funds to cover losses from the hack, including $5 billion already held in the same tokens that were stolen, in Binance custody. The spokesperson did not disclose when the assets were acquired or the wallet addresses, but said the holdings will appear in the next proof-of-reserves report, and noted that its weekly reporting requirement to the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market predates the hack. Binance has yet to confirm which tokens it still needs to buy, when those purchases will finish, or how much stolen crypto has been recovered. The exchange confirmed the $6.3 billion hack, the largest cryptocurrency theft on record; TRM Labs said funds were drained from wallets across 10 blockchains on Thursday and attributed the attack to North Korean group TraderTraitor. About $3 billion of affected assets has been frozen and excluded from the funds set aside.
- Morning Minute: Binance’s $6.4B Hack Overshadows Hyperliquid’s Biggest Day
An attacker stole about $6.4 billion from Binance, by a wide margin the largest crypto theft on record and roughly four times the $1.5 billion taken from Bybit in February 2025. The funds moved across three blockchains: about $3.5 billion in ETH, $1.4 billion in BTC and $630 million on Tron, with final accounting still underway. Tether and Circle froze about $2.39 billion of the stolen tokens (43% of the haul), while Aave froze its V3 and V4 markets on Ethereum to guard against bad debt. Binance said it has reserved over $6.34 billion in company funds to cover losses, and ZachXBT said the funds were commingled with the $388 million Bitget exploit and believes the same North Korean hacker group was behind both. Markets fell on the day, with over $1.33 billion in positions liquidated, after HYPE had surged on news that Intercontinental Exchange is investing in trade.xyz.

- 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%.

- 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.

- Does Wall Street think Amazon's $77 billion capex was worth it?
Amazon (AMZN) shares kept falling in premarket trading after the company missed third-quarter revenue and earnings estimates, with its capital expenditure in the quarter reaching $77 billion. Revenue rose 12% to about $202 billion but came in below expectations, and some commentators said weakness in retail may have contributed to the decline. Analyst Dan Ives says the heavy spending is the price of leadership, while CEO Andy Jassy expects AWS to grow above 40% in each of the next two years. The discussion also raised questions about how AI shopping agents could affect Amazon in the future, though no one has a clear answer yet.
- Households hold 500 tonnes of gold and 11.2 million billion VND in deposits, yet capital is not flowing into production
National Assembly deputy Lê Hoàng Anh (Gia Lai delegation) points to a paradox: capital is available but not flowing into production, with household deposits exceeding 11.2 million billion VND and residents holding about 500 tonnes of gold, roughly 12% of GDP, while corporate bonds total only about 11% of GDP. He argues that the lack of domestic capital channels means capital and decision-making power for many Vietnamese-founded tech firms sit overseas. He proposes lending based on e-invoice, tax and trade data instead of land as collateral, keeping owner capital in Vietnam, and channeling household savings to firms through voluntary pension funds and open-end funds. The 2027 budget estimate puts government borrowing at nearly 1.28 million billion VND, while land revenue has stalled. Deputy Trần Quốc Tuấn (Vĩnh Long delegation) called for flexible coordination of monetary and fiscal policy and separate monitoring of essential goods prices.
