Zhao Changpeng responded to discussions regarding the scale of the theft at Binance and the reaction of BTC prices, stating that this $6.3 billion theft is the largest in terms of dollar value, but not when measured by the quantity of BTC. He cited the Mt. Gox incident, which involved 650,000 BTC, accounting for over 5% of the BTC supply at that time, emphasizing that assessing market impact cannot rely solely on dollar amounts.He believes that attention should also be paid to the number of affected users and the proportion of affected assets relative to user assets. According to him, in both the Mt. Gox and FTX incidents, nearly all users and their assets were impacted. The more critical issue is who ultimately bears the loss, whether the platform can fully cover it, rather than letting users suffer the losses.Zhao Changpeng stated that this incident remains a significant disaster for the industry, Binance, and himself, but they can withstand this shock. He emphasized, "The most important thing is that we protect our users."

According to a Reuters report citing an interview with CNBC, Michael Selig, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that the CFTC hopes to provide a federal-level option for exchanges like Binance to register with the CFTC in light of the recent hacking incident.Selig previously mentioned that federal registration is a voluntary path for exchanges rather than a mandatory requirement, and that requiring all cryptocurrency exchanges to register can only be achieved through congressional legislation; however, retail cryptocurrency trading involving margin, leverage, or financing must fall under federal regulation.The CFTC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding relevant retail cryptocurrency trading rules on October 5, with the comment period ending on December 14.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng responded to community users' comments regarding Bitcoin's resilience against declines, stating that considering the significant drop in traditional financial markets today, which exceeded that of the crypto market, Bitcoin's performance is quite surprising. Typically, a downturn in traditional financial markets drags down the crypto market as investors tend to sell off assets and hoard cash, but this time Bitcoin has shown remarkable resilience.Previously, some community users indicated that if the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange faced a hack exceeding $6 billion, they expected Bitcoin's price to suffer a severe setback; however, it only dropped about 3% that day, suggesting that the market bottom may be approaching.

Unified Margin Trading Exchange Nado announced the launch of the on-chain OTC trading venue PRIME, scheduled to go live in the fourth quarter, aimed at connecting institutional market maker liquidity. Institutional liquidity providers will continuously quote and inject tiered liquidity into the dedicated PRIME liquidity pool, while the pricing engine aggregates the total depth from all connected market makers into a single executable streaming price, which is then pushed to traders after adjusting for real-time volatility and inventory. This price can be executed on demand without the need for a quote, with the interaction method closely resembling Nado's existing central limit order book.PRIME operates in parallel with the Nado order book, rather than replacing it. If the same market exists in both venues simultaneously, positions can be interchanged, allowing traders to open BTC perpetual contracts through PRIME and close them on the order book, or vice versa. Below the displayed price, smart order routing executes trades at the optimal prices from the connected market makers at that time; when a single market maker's depth is insufficient, the routing will prioritize merging liquidity from multiple providers based on price. Nado stated that the trading fee for transactions executed through PRIME is 0. The new market will first onboard market makers rather than accumulating orders on the order book.The first batch of participants includes Hyperliquid, Variational, Lighter, Extended, and leading traders from Nado, with more information to be announced in the coming weeks. Initially, PRIME will cover crypto assets and perpetual contracts with good liquidity, with the new market going live on PRIME first, and will open to the order book after sustained demand is validated. Future goals include exotic perpetuals, spot, and options. Nado offers spot, perpetual, and currency markets, using unified margin, developed and deployed by the Kraken-related team on the Ink network, which stated on October 26 that its historical cumulative trading volume has reached $10 billion.

According to Cointelegraph, the French Senate has passed a bill authorizing the tax authorities to automatically exchange cryptocurrency transaction data with tax authorities in other countries. The bill completed its first reading on Tuesday and has been submitted to the National Assembly as Bill No. 3421 for review. The bill covers a cryptocurrency tax information exchange agreement and updates to the existing financial account information agreement, with the entire legislative process still needing to be completed.The cryptocurrency information exchange agreement is based on the Cryptocurrency Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) established by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, setting common standards for participating jurisdictions to collect and automatically exchange cryptocurrency transaction information. France has introduced a cryptocurrency reporting obligation through the 2025 Finance Law, implementing the cryptocurrency reporting amendment in the EU Administrative Cooperation Directive DAC8, which requires cryptocurrency service providers to report customer identities and transaction data to tax authorities, who will then share this information with the tax authorities in the EU countries where the users are located.French lawmakers are also discussing adjustments to cryptocurrency taxation in the 2027 budget. The National Assembly passed an amendment on October 16, proposing to tax gains converted to partially pegged fiat stablecoins starting January 1, 2027; this measure has not yet become law, with a related vote scheduled for November 3.Faustine Fleuret, Global Head of Public Affairs at the lending protocol Morpho, stated that tax reporting under DAC8 involves sharing personal information such as names, addresses, tax numbers, and transaction volumes, raising data security concerns; the European Commission plans to establish a central repository for cryptocurrency reporting by the end of 2026. She also mentioned that in France, where cryptocurrency holders have been subject to personal attacks, the leakage of trader lists is primarily a security issue. CertiK data shows that out of 52 verified personal attack incidents globally in the first half of 2026, France accounted for 33.
