On the night of November 5, 2025, global financial markets entered a clear “risk-off” mode 🌪️. The S&P 500 fell 1.3%, while the Nasdaq 100 tumbled over 2%, led by tech giants NVIDIA and Tesla, which dropped nearly 3.5%. Analysts warn of a possible “tech bubble” as high valuations continue to outpace earnings.
📌Cryptocurrencies were not spared 💸. Bitcoin dropped 2.5% from $103,872 to $101,325 amid the market-wide risk-off sentiment. Major crypto companies were also hit hard:
🔻MicroStrategy fell 7%
🔻Coin🅱️ase Global dropped 7%
🔻Circle plunged 11%
🔎The sell-off was driven by several factors:
1️⃣ U.S. political uncertainty – A 38-day government shutdown continues with no resolution in sight, creating anxiety for investors about the economy and capital markets.
2️⃣ Overvalued tech stocks – Many AI and tech stocks have surged too high, prompting natural profit-taking.
3️⃣ Crypto dragged down by correlation – Risk-off sentiment in equities spilled over into crypto assets.
Some analysts view this as a short-term market correction, confirming key support levels in both stocks and crypto. Others warn that if uncertainty persists, the markets could see further declines.
💭 What do you think?
Is this a buying opportunity for Bitcoin and tech stocks, or a signal that the “bubble” is starting to burst?

Investor Ray Dalio warns that the Federal Reserve is set to end its balance sheet reduction (QT) and may start economic stimulus (QE) from December 1, 2025 to boost growth.

Dalio cautions that stimulating the economy when growth is normal, unemployment is low, and asset prices are soaring signals a late-cycle risk (~75-year cycle) — potentially more dangerous than opportunistic.

He also notes that the government’s huge debt and budget deficits mean QE might mostly fund public debt rather than help the private sector. The consequences: rising inflation, weaker currency, and traditionally safe assets like gold or Bitcoin may become the go-to safe havens.

💭 Takeaway: Investors should monitor U.S. bond yields, the dollar index, inflation, and Fed policy closely. For crypto, stimulus could provide short-term gains but also heightens bubble risk.

On November 3, the DeFi world was rocked when Balancer V2 and several projects forked from its code were hit by coordinated attacks — resulting in over $125 million in total losses.
💥 What happened?
Attackers exploited a rounding error in Balancer’s price calculation formula — designed for pools containing assets with similar values (like stablecoins or Liquid Staking Tokens).
🔻When expanding numbers, the system always rounded down
🔺When compressing, it could round up or down
These tiny rounding differences opened a loophole that let attackers manipulate token prices within the pool — swapping strategically to push prices down unnaturally and then buying back at an artificial discount.
🧠 How they did it
The exploiters simulated everything off-chain first — calculating precisely how to trigger the rounding flaw.
Then they executed:
🔹Crafted swaps that distorted pool prices
🔹Bought tokens back when undervalued
🔹Withdrew profits immediately All this happened so fast that Balancer couldn’t pause the system in time, leading to copycat attacks from others who spotted the vulnerability.

📉 Impact & Takeaways
🔹The exploit couldn’t be stopped mid-attack
🔹Dozens of pools and forks were drained
🔹It highlighted how even “minor” numeric rounding can destroy financial protocols

✅ DeFi lessons learned
🔹This incident reignited debate on DeFi safety design:
🔹Rounding logic must favor system integrity
🔹Precision matters — down to decimal levels
🔹Real-time anomaly detection tools like BlockSec’s Phalcon could mitigate losses
🔹Modern attackers simulate everything before striking — protocols need to be one step ahead
💭 What do you think — can DeFi ever be “secure enough,” or will attackers always find a decimal to exploit? 👇
