Zhao Changpeng issued a reminder for Ledger hardware wallet users to remain vigilant, especially those who have purchased devices recently. According to the information currently available, this incident appears to be limited to the supply chain, involving a supplier, and a few users may have purchased counterfeit or tampered Ledger devices.Zhao Changpeng stated that Ledger is a well-established and relatively secure hardware wallet brand in the industry, but such incidents can still occur. He anticipates and calls for the BNB ecosystem and the entire cryptocurrency industry to assist in tracking the stolen funds and promoting recovery.Previously, Ledger confirmed that it is investigating an asset theft incident involving Southeast Asian users, who had purchased devices through the distributor CryptoBilis. Ledger has requested CryptoBilis to suspend sales and shipments and advised users who purchased devices through this distributor in the past 90 days not to initialize their devices; if they have already completed the setup, they should create a new Ledger signing device using a new mnemonic phrase and transfer their assets to the new wallet.On-chain investigator Specter estimates that this incident has led to the theft of hundreds of wallets on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON networks, with losses exceeding 86 million dollars. Security researcher tanuki42 previously estimated the losses to be over 72 million dollars and stated that the amount is still increasing. Currently, the specific cause of the incident and whether the involved devices have security vulnerabilities are still under investigation.

Analyst Axel Adler posted on platform X that short-term holders (STH) of Bitcoin are still selling profitable Bitcoin through exchanges. In the past 7 days, the number of relevant Bitcoins transferred to exchanges by short-term holders was approximately 11,000, a decrease of about 66% from the previous peak of 32,000, indicating that selling pressure has eased.

Frank Rybinski, the head of macro strategy at Aegon Asset Management, stated that the rise in term premium indicates that market trends are persistent. Barclays noted that factors such as macroeconomic uncertainty and increased bond supply have collectively driven the recent rise.

CryptoQuant posted on platform X that Bitcoin miners have recently stopped large-scale selling. Since Bitcoin hit a low of $76,000 on August 21, the miner status has shifted from "extremely undervalued compensation" to "reasonable compensation," and there has been no further extreme outflow of miner funds.CryptoQuant stated that miner selling pressure was an important source of supply that continuously affected Bitcoin prices during the bear market of 2026. The current disappearance of this stable selling pressure may help alleviate market supply pressure.

According to Bloomberg, cybersecurity consultant Jonathan Spalletta was found guilty by a New York jury for stealing nearly $55 million from the cryptocurrency trading platform Uranium Finance. Prosecutors accused him of carrying out two attacks in 2021, after which the platform was shut down due to the theft of funds. The jury reached a verdict after more than two hours of deliberation. Spalletta faces up to 20 years in prison for money laundering charges related to the use of cryptocurrency mixing services like Tornado Cash.U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff has set the sentencing date for February 16. Law enforcement seized over $3 million worth of rare Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards from his residence in Maryland, along with approximately $31 million in cryptocurrency assets. Prosecutors stated that he also spent over $600,000 to purchase a commemorative ancient Roman coin marking the assassination of Caesar and bought a piece of the Wright brothers' original aircraft that was taken to the moon by Armstrong for $137,000. The defense attorney argued that he was merely using publicly available functions within smart contracts, rather than forging credentials or using malicious code, and therefore did not constitute hacking.

Chairman of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee French Hill stated that the actions taken by regulators to advance digital asset regulation lack the long-term stability provided by congressional legislation. He hopes that Congress will pass the CLARITY Act during the lame-duck session before the new Congress takes office in 2027.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have previously proposed relevant rule-making plans. French Hill indicated that the regulatory actions of the two agencies following the Senate's failure to pass the CLARITY Act last month are still insufficient to replace legislative proposals. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig have announced that they will advance cryptocurrency regulation as directed by U.S. President Donald Trump. As of Wednesday, there are a total of 7 vacancies in the leadership of the two agencies; among them, Hester Peirce announced her resignation as SEC Commissioner last week, and the CFTC is currently only chaired and staffed by Selig.

U.S. federal prosecutors cited the appellate ruling related to the cryptocurrency mixer Bitcoin Fog as a supplementary basis against the not guilty motion of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm. In documents submitted on Monday, the prosecution referenced the September 25 ruling by the appellate court that upheld the conviction and sentencing of Bitcoin Fog operator Roman Sterlingov. The District of Columbia Circuit Court found that Washington, D.C. had jurisdiction over all four charges: the money laundering charge was based on undercover agents completing Bitcoin Fog transactions in its D.C. office, while the unlicensed money transmission charge was supported by sufficient evidence showing that Bitcoin Fog had served clients in the area.The prosecution stated that the ruling "directly supports" its position in the Storm case, arguing that Tornado Cash's activities in Manhattan were sufficient to establish jurisdiction in the Southern District of New York for the conspiracy charges of money laundering and unlicensed money transmission against Storm, citing the testimony of Shakeeb Ahmed, who claimed to have used Tornado Cash in a Manhattan apartment. Judge Katherine Polk Failla has heard the arguments for the not guilty motion in April 2026 but has yet to rule. In August 2025, the jury found Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmission business, but deadlocked on the charges of money laundering and conspiracy to evade sanctions; Storm submitted a post-trial not guilty motion in September 2025, arguing that the prosecution failed to prove he intended to assist criminals in abusing Tornado Cash.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Bitcoin dropped from $85,500 to $83,900, then slightly rebounded to $84,100. This decline was accompanied by a dominance of active sell orders and forced liquidations of long positions.Data shows that the Taker Order Pressure Oscillator once fell to -4.9, then rebounded to -3.1, indicating that the pressure from active selling has eased somewhat, but the bears still hold an advantage; at the same time, the Liquidation Pressure Oscillator dropped from -11 to -78, reflecting that forced liquidations of long positions are dominant. Analysis points out that if the Bitcoin price remains below $83,900 and both indicators maintain significantly negative values, there may be a risk of more persistent selling pressure.

Cryptocurrency analyst Axel Adler stated that Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) have reduced their holdings for the seventh consecutive week, but this has not yet hindered the rise in BTC prices, as the market continues to absorb the supply released by long-term holders.Data shows that the long-term holder supply change indicator remained positive from February to early August this year, during which long-term holders increased their holdings by approximately 1.2 million BTC in May. This indicator turned negative on August 17 and has been in a reduction state for seven consecutive weeks. As of September 28, the long-term holder supply change decreased by 73,400 BTC, a larger reduction compared to the decrease of 1,100 BTC a week earlier. Axel Adler pointed out that compared to the reduction of about 1.07 million BTC by long-term holders in November 2025, the current reduction scale is still relatively limited.If the future reduction scale of long-term holders reaches several hundred thousand BTC again, while BTC prices stop rising, it may indicate that the market's ability to absorb supply is declining. Additionally, the long-term holder SOPR indicator has been above 1 for the second consecutive week, indicating that long-term holders are taking profits. On September 21, this indicator rose to 1.24, the highest level since January of this year; as of September 28, the LTH SOPR was 1.18, meaning that BTC in transfer achieved approximately 18% realized profit compared to the cost basis. Current data shows that long-term holders are gradually taking profits as BTC prices rise, while new demand is still able to absorb the supply released by the market.

In response to the community rumor that "Aptos will shut down its blockchain in the next 6 months," Aptos Labs co-founder and CEO Avery Ching publicly stated that this is "a stupid rumor."The X account that initially published the related news did not provide any official Aptos announcement, governance proposal, or other documents as evidence. When pressed for evidence, the account stated that the information was merely "heard" and reminded to be cautious in interpretation.Additionally, another community account claimed that Aptos had significantly laid off employees over the past year and was facing financial pressure, but that account also admitted that the source of the information was "unreliable," and there is currently no public information to confirm the above claims.Aptos's current public governance records still show network upgrade proposals and executed mainnet function updates, and no official plans to shut down the mainnet have been found.

According to monitoring by Glassnode, investors who previously bought at high prices in the Bitcoin market are currently selling off.
