🐋 #Bitmine just added another 17,362 $ETH , pushing its treasury above 6 million #ETH for the first time.
The numbers are getting bigger: ♦️ 6,001,302 ETH held 📊 4.9% of total ETH supply 🎯 98% toward its 5% target 🔒 5,067,309 ETH staked 💰 Potential MAVAN annualized revenue: $358M
Chairman #TomLee calls the milestone a major achievement, citing #Ethereum 's network effects and growing institutional interest.
🚨 The wallet linked to #Bitget ’s September 24 breach has moved approximately 2,390 $ETH into 75.2 $BTC through THORChain.
Key details: 🔄 27 swaps executed on Monday 💰 ~$6.3M in ETH converted ₿ BTC sent to a single receiving address ⚠️ Another 400 ETH was awaiting swaps at the time of review
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen asked #THORChain to block addresses linked to the attacker, but the network rejected the request.
THORChain says its emergency controls are designed to protect the protocol, not selectively freeze individual wallets.
The case highlights a major challenge for decentralized finance: transactions can be traced on-chain, but stopping them is much harder or even it is against their values.
So the question that was asked after the #bybit hack and it's being asked now :
Should decentralized protocols intervene when stolen funds are identified, or would that undermine their main objective & core values ? 👀
🔓 After pausing withdrawals following its Sept. 24 security breach, #Bitget says withdrawals will restart in stages.

Bitget says: 🔒 Cold wallets remain secure 💰 User balances are accurate 🛡️ Protection fund: $464M+ 🔧 Vulnerabilities have been fixed
⚡ #solana 's Alpenglow upgrade is now live on devnet and testnet, giving developers a first look at a major change to transaction finality.
🎯 Target finality: ~150ms ⏱️ Current TowerBFT: ~12.8 seconds 🧪 Devnet: Live 🌐 Mainnet: Not activated yet
The upgrade's Votor system lets validators communicate votes directly, potentially cutting finality from seconds to milliseconds.
That could matter for: 💱 Exchange deposits 💳 Payments 📊 Real-time applications
But there's a catch: 150ms is still a target, not live mainnet performance. Developers also need to update explorers and data services to handle competing candidate blocks and new validator certificate data. $SOL
🚨#Bitget says an attacker compromised part of its hot/warm wallet infrastructure, triggering unauthorized transfers worth an estimated $351.6M.
🔒 Cold wallets: Safe, according to Bitget 💰 User balances: Reportedly unaffected 🛡️ Protection Fund: $464M+ ⛔ Withdrawals: Paused ✅ Trading & deposits: Still live
The attacker allegedly compromised a backend system and spoofed transaction data to bypass authorization. Bitget says private keys were not compromised and the breach has been contained.
On-chain researchers had previously identified around $183M in suspicious transfers, creating a discrepancy with Bitget's $351.6M estimate.
🚀 $BTC bounced from $83K to around $84.3K as reports emerged of U.S.-Iran talks exploring a phased path toward ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
But the macro backdrop remains tough:
🛢️ Brent crude above $105 📈 Inflation pressure rising 🏦 Fed already delivered its first rate hike since 2023 ⚠️ October rate-hike odds are climbing
The talks are positive, but no breakthrough has been reached yet. #Write2Earn #BitcoinFallsToAround$84,600ThisWeek
🐋 $BTC rejected $87.4K and slipped back toward $84K, down 3.8% over 24h but still +9.9% this week.
The interesting part? Big wallets aren't slowing down.
🐳 Wallets holding 100–1,000 BTC added 113,950 BTC since July 📈 Holdings rose 2.22% → 5.24M BTC 🔥 U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded 5 straight inflow sessions 💰 About $2.65B flowed into BTC ETFs across those five sessions
Meanwhile, leverage is cooling: 📉 Binance BTC OI: $5.4B → $4.9B 📊 CVD: $3B → $1.48B ⚖️ Funding: near neutral
Price is cooling, but accumulation and ETF demand remain strong. Is this just a healthy pullback before another attempt at $87K? 👀 #BitcoinRejectedAt$87,300Twice #Write2Earn!
⚡ $BTC is hovering around $84K, up more than 6% this week, while traders prepare for a massive options expiry.
💥 $18B in crypto options expire Friday ₿ #BTC : $15.9B across 184K contracts 🎯 Max pain for #bitcoin : $75,000 BTC calls cluster around $90K–$100K
The bull case has Bitcoin climbing toward $90K before settlement while ETF inflows continue "4 day of postive inflows" and the $85K and $100k call blocks become active on the Deribit book. A break below the lower edge of the implied band near $83,600 would invalidate that setup.
The bear case has Bitcoin stalling between $88k and $90k and sliding toward the lower edge of the implied band near $83,600, with $80k as the next level beneath it. A close above $90k ahead of CME settlement would invalidate that setup.
Technically, BTC is still above $82K, but momentum has cooled. 🎯 $85K key level to reclaim 🚀 Above $87K → $88K → $90K ⚠️ Below $82K → downside risk increases
One more factor: short-term holders are realizing profits at the highest level since October 2025, potentially adding selling pressure.👀 #BitcoinRejectedAt$87,300Twice #Write2Earn
U.S. spot #BitcoinETFs! recorded approximately $999 million in net inflows on Monday which is the highest daily net inflow since the $1.21 billion recorded on October 06th 2025 and we should highlight that the U.S. $BTC ETF recorded $433 million in net inflows on Friday. #BitcoinBreaksAboveMayHighNears$86K
The #zcash Foundation says #ZRC-20 and the #cash token are NOT official Zcash products.
The clarification came after an X post claimed Zcash had launched a new token standard. According to the Foundation: 🔹 ZRC-20 was developed independently 🔹 CASH is a third-party token 🔹 Neither is part of Zcash consensus 🔹 Users should research before interacting
🐋 #Bitmine just added 27,562 $ETH , pushing its treasury to 5.98M #ETH about 4.9% of #Ethereum 's total supply.
The company is now closing in on its 5% ETH target. Meanwhile: 💰 5.07M ETH staked 📊 Staked value: ~$13.6B 📈 ETH above $2,700 🚀 BMNR stock: +165% in one month
But there's a twist: BitMine's ETH holdings still carry an unrealized loss above $3.5B, with an average purchase price around $3,329.
Chairman Tom Lee says the crypto bull run began in late June, driven by tokenization, AI and a shift back toward crypto. #EthereumSurpasses$2700
