Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance's founder, says AI could increase cyberattacks in the short term and make banks easier to hack than crypto exchanges. He calls for common security standards, sharing of intrusion experiences and faster freezing of stolen assets; according to The Block, discussions on an industry security alliance have begun but no concrete agreement has been reached. The warning follows the Binance attack on 29/10, which affected about 6.3 billion USD in assets. CoinDesk reported that researchers have found no evidence that AI directly controlled the laundering of the stolen funds. In Vietnam, the State Securities Commission (SSC) asked securities firms and fund management companies to step up information system safety checks and prepare incident response plans.

- Binance hack may be ‘temporary setback’ for crypto, Grayscale’s Pandl says
Grayscale's head of research, Zach Pandl, said the $6.3 billion Binance hack could be a temporary setback for crypto confidence but should ultimately push exchanges toward stronger security. He highlighted institutional custody, noting that US-based crypto exchange-traded products hold assets at state-chartered banks and qualified custodians, using offline storage, multi-signature wallets, SOC attestations and insurance. Binance pledged to cover all customer losses, the FBI attributed the attack to North Korea, and Kim Yo Jong dismissed the allegations as “absurd rhetoric.” Bitcoin fell below $77,000 and BNB lost more than 8% over 24 hours, but total crypto market capitalization rebounded 2% over the past 24 hours to about $2.63 trillion by Wednesday, still roughly $100 billion below its Oct. 28 level. Bitwise's André Dragosch told Cointelegraph that recent outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs reflected a short-term risk-off environment rather than a structural change in institutional sentiment.
- Binance hackers move 81% of stolen Solana, route funds via THORChain
Binance hackers have moved about 81% of the stolen Solana (SOL) and continue laundering funds through THORChain after the protocol resumed swaps. Wallets linked to the attackers held 182,443 SOL, worth $16.9 million, or about 18.8% of the 970,522 SOL stolen, according to Arkham, and the funds were split across wallets, sold for USDC, bridged to Ethereum and ultimately swapped into Bitcoin. The FBI attributed the attack to North Korea's TraderTraitor hackers and urged crypto providers to block transactions linked to stolen assets, which Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, dismissed as ‘absurd rhetoric.’ THORChain had halted services after an Ethereum block reorganization exposed a refund bug, a pause that Chainalysis said inadvertently delayed the laundering. Chainalysis also estimated that about $500 million moved through Tron.
- RUNE rallies 15% as THORChain restarts most swaps after halt
THORChain has restored trading on Bitcoin, Ethereum and several other networks after a weekend halt, while BNB Smart Chain, Cosmos Hub and Solana still show warnings. According to CoinMarketCap, the RUNE token traded around $0.64 on Wednesday, up approximately 15% over the previous day. The disruption began when a one-block Ethereum reorganization removed a 10 ETH deposit that THORChain had already credited; after a swap failed its price limit, the protocol issued refunds against funds its vault never received, causing an extra 10 ETH payout and an automatic pause. Chainalysis said the pause had inadvertently delayed laundering of funds stolen in the $6.3 billion Binance hack by North Korean hackers.
- Binance breach puts custody at center of crypto infrastructure trade
The $6.3 billion Binance hack could push investors to place a higher premium on custody providers and the infrastructure that protects digital assets. Binance's leadership moved quickly to contain the fallout and commit its own resources to cover losses; CEO Richard Teng said the company has replenished 98% of the $6.34 billion in affected assets and is still buying outstanding, more illiquid assets. Tether, Circle, Ripple and others froze or restricted about $3 billion in stolen assets, while Coinbase blocked transfers to compromised wallets. The article suggests the next winners may be firms that can prove they can protect assets under extreme pressure, not just those with the most users, volume or assets under custody. Morgan Stanley sees a more consequential shift in separating custody from trading, as investors could move assets to independent custodians while still trading on centralized exchanges.

- Alibaba and Tencent Face Stunning Nvidia Chip Shortfall Despite Millions of Orders
According to a Wednesday Bloomberg report, Chinese AI developers expect to receive only about 1% of the Nvidia processors they have ordered over the next four months. Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (TCEHY), ByteDance and other AI and cloud companies have collectively ordered about 6 million RTX Pro 5500 chips, yet expect deliveries of only tens of thousands of units in that period. The gap comes as Nvidia works to expand production while demand for its AI products outpaces available capacity, which may complicate Chinese developers' plans to add computing resources. The figures reflect buyers' expectations, not a confirmed shipment schedule from Nvidia, and cover only the next four months.
- Hyperscalers and Apple surge after election results remove investor uncertainty
Many large technology companies surged on Wednesday after Democrats won a major victory in the midterm elections, flipping both the House and Senate. During trading, Amazon rose 8%, Google over 6%, Microsoft 4%, Meta 3%, and Apple nearly 7%. David Kelly of JPMorgan Asset Management said a divided government would bring moderation in growth and inflation and less uncertainty. By contrast, stocks tied to Trump advisor Elon Musk and the AI data center buildout fell, with Tesla down 2%, SpaceX down 3%, Nvidia down just over 1%, and CoreWeave down 10%. Voters opposed AI data center measures in 40 of 41 local ballot measures, and 56% of voters in a CNBC poll said data centers were a crucial or major factor in their vote.
- Alphabet Stocks Rise 1.4% as Euro Borrowing Meets a $200 Billion Spending Plan
Alphabet priced 6 billion of notes across seven tranches maturing through 2045, under a recent term sheet. According to Reuters, the deal follows a 9 billion euro offering in May, bringing the two transactions to 15 billion, with the November issuance making up 40% of that total. Management kept its annual capital-expenditure guidance at $195 billion to $205 billion on its October 28 earnings call, while Google Cloud has begun using third-party computing capacity, which is expected to pressure margins near term. Shares rose 1.40% to $283.96 in premarket trading at 9:20 a.m. ET. The article says the key question is whether the added capacity generates enough cash after rental, depreciation and financing costs.
- Is Kimberly-Clark the Safest Dividend Stock You Can Buy Now?
The article describes Kimberly-Clark, maker of Kleenex tissues and Cottonelle toilet paper, as having a long record of reliable dividends: it has raised its dividend for 54 consecutive years and paid dividends for 92 consecutive years, earning Dividend King status. Net income was $1.7 billion in 2023, $2.5 billion in 2024 and $2 billion in 2025, and the dividend yields 4.7% at the current share price. The company closed its Kenvue acquisition on Nov. 2, but 2025 sales of $16.4 billion fell 2.1% from $16.8 billion in 2024. The author concludes it is about as safe a dividend stock as there is, while noting acquisition risks and the sales slump that investors should be aware of.
- Nvidia Stocks Decline 1.35% as $108 Billion Guide Sets the Next Revenue Hurdle
Nvidia shares fell 1.35% to $203.90 in premarket trading on November 4 as investors weighed the next earnings test. Its fiscal second-quarter release showed about $96.2 billion in revenue and a 75% non-GAAP gross margin. The third-quarter outlook sees revenue within 2% of the $108 billion midpoint and gross margin at 74%, plus or minus half a percentage point, excluding China data-center compute sales. Using rounded figures, Nvidia needs another $11.8 billion in sequential revenue, a 12.3% increase, while absorbing a projected one-percentage-point margin decline. The article says shipment execution and transition costs will determine how much of that extra revenue reaches gross profit.
- Own an AI or Tech ETF? Arista’s Big Quarter Just Paid Off
Arista Networks shares rose 5.7% to $179.59 on Wednesday morning after third-quarter results showed revenue of $3.66 billion, above the $3.33 billion consensus and up 58.5% year over year. Non-GAAP EPS was $1.20 versus a $1.08 estimate, and the company guided fourth-quarter revenue to $3.90–4.00 billion and expects 2027 growth of 38% to 40%. The stock had fallen 13.39% over the past month before the report. The article notes that the effect on an ETF depends on its Arista weighting: XLK held 0.98% of net assets and FTEC 0.84%, while AIQ and QQQ showed no Arista position in their latest holdings reports. The author suggests that investors seeking AI networking exposure through a fund should check its holdings report rather than rely on the “AI” in its name.
