🚨LATEST: Binance hackers are using NEVER SEEN BEFORE laundering patterns as stolen funds are being rapidly circulated through thousands of transactions, per Chainalysis.
Instead of moving funds along a straightforward trail, the attackers repeatedly send them between wallets, including back to addresses used earlier.
The speed and repeated patterns suggest automation designed to obscure the money trail.
Binance’s Richard Teng says the attackers used a “self-destruct mechanism” to destroy tools and traces during the intrusion.
Early findings from Elliptic showed almost NONE of the stolen funds had reached mixers, bridges or exchanges, making the unusual wallet movements particularly striking.
They also rushed to swap freezeable stablecoins into assets such as ETH and move funds between addresses before blacklists could catch up. These efforts were only partly successful.
The tactics complicate tracing and recovery, but they do not make the stolen funds invisible.

What actually happens when #Bitcoin mining stops? 🤔
95% of the 21M supply is already mined, but the last coin isn’t due until 2140. After that, miners live on fees alone. If they walk away early, blocks slow until difficulty resets.

Crypto is F’d, and the $80K “support” is the proof. 🧱
It’s not demand. It’s ETFs and treasuries trying not to go underwater. Meanwhile altcoin leverage is lurking and another platform just got drained through a plugin.

BREAKING: AI token spending grew just +0.2% MoM in September, the lowest monthly growth since November 2025.
This follows a +1.0% increase in August, marking two consecutive months of growth at or below +1.0%, the weakest streak in at least 18 months.
This comes as falling prices for the most advanced AI models, alongside improvements in efficiency and quality, drive down the average price per million tokens processed by these models.
Since July, overall AI token prices have declined -48%, to $0.65 per million tokens, the lowest since at least January 2026.
Lower costs could unlock the next wave of AI adoption.
