According to market news, North Korean hackers attacked cryptocurrency practitioners using the "FaceDealer" technique, stealing over $400 million within 18 months. The attackers hijacked the Telegram or LinkedIn accounts of industry insiders familiar to the targets, impersonating them to send meeting invitations, guiding the targets into counterfeit Zoom or Teams meetings that they set up and controlled.The attackers secretly recorded the targets' cameras to later impersonate their identities; the "inviter" in the meeting was actually a recording of a previous victim, and the attackers pressured the targets with false attendees and statements like "the other party can't hear you." Subsequently, the attackers displayed a forged error message, luring the targets to run a so-called update program that implanted malware, leading to the compromise of their computers, cryptocurrency wallets, and social accounts.The FBI stated that it has discovered and blocked related recordings from over 900 victims, all of whom are senior practitioners in the fields of cryptocurrency, Web3, and cybersecurity. The FBI also attributed last month's theft of approximately $6.3 billion from Binance to North Korea's "TraderTraitor" operation; the North denied the allegations, calling them "absurd claims."

According to Crypto Briefing, FortiGuard Labs has disclosed an attack activity targeting Microsoft SQL Server databases exposed on the internet.

FortiGuard Labs stated that this activity has been active since at least early October 2026, and the number of victims has not yet been confirmed, nor has the attack been attributed to specific actors.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated during a fireside chat with CEO Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan's New York headquarters on Friday that the company does not particularly care about which month or under what market conditions to go public, emphasizing that Anthropic hopes to adopt a strategy of "less commitment, more delivery."Amodei expressed agreement with the suggestion that the company's valuation should not exceed its true value by even 1 dollar. Against the backdrop of significant fluctuations in the AI sector and pressure on tech stock valuations, Anthropic remains cautious about IPO pricing.According to reports, Anthropic currently targets a valuation of approximately 1.33 trillion dollars or higher, planning to issue 825 million shares at a price of 70 to 78 dollars per share. Based on the midpoint of the price range, the fundraising scale will exceed 61 billion dollars. Additionally, investors, including Google, plan to invest about 26 billion dollars through private placements.Amodei also admitted that the investment in computing power is the company's "deepest business challenge," as the enormous expenditure on computing resources continues to put pressure on the company's finances.

Crypto analyst Murphy stated that after the significant drop in Bitcoin yesterday, the high-positioned chips of short-term holders only slightly loosened. Data shows that in the range of $73,000 to $86,000, there are approximately 1.48 million Bitcoins, accounting for 68% of the total short-term holders, currently all in a state of unrealized loss. However, the net decrease of chips in this range yesterday was only 34,000 coins, accounting for about 2.3%, indicating that most short-term holders did not panic sell due to the drop.Specifically, the cost ranges of $75,000, $80,000, and $85,000 saw decreases of 7,282 coins, 8,481 coins, and 5,441 coins respectively, with selling pressure relatively dispersed. At the same time, the total number of short-term holders increased by 17,500 coins that day, meaning some long-term holders were also distributing chips during the decline. The chip absorption was mainly concentrated at $68,000, with approximately 42,200 new Bitcoins added in that price range alone.In terms of profitable chips, the range of $62,000 to $64,000 holds about 480,000 Bitcoins, making it the only large-scale profitable chip range among short-term holders currently, with only about 3,100 coins reduced yesterday, less than 1%. Murphy believes this range is the nearest chip support below; if Bitcoin falls into it, the profitable chips of short-term holders will essentially drop to zero, and market sentiment pressure may further increase. Conversely, if the upper trapped positions remain stable, there may still be opportunities for prices to regain support.

According to Jinshi Data, foreign media cited two informed sources reporting that senior officials in the White House are discussing whether to ask Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo to resign. Raimondo has recently faced increasing criticism, and her performance in office and related regulatory controversies have raised questions among congressional members.The report stated that the relevant criticism had emerged before NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced his resignation. A White House official stated that Trump still fully trusts Raimondo and her capabilities in office. The White House has not yet made a formal response regarding Raimondo's future.

BnkToTheFuture co-founder and CEO Simon Dixon stated in a Bitcoin Magazine video interview that there are only three scenarios that would make him sell all his Bitcoin and buy gold: if Bitcoin can no longer be held in a self-custodial manner and generate returns, if peer-to-peer payments cannot be completed without a governmental intermediary, and if the fixed supply of 21 million coins is no longer credible. He mentioned that Bitcoin has performed well in these three aspects since 2011, and if any of them are called into question, he would sell immediately.Dixon believes that the real battleground is not whether Bitcoin can be adopted, as the trajectory of institutional adoption is unprecedented, but rather whether custodial institutions, Wall Street-controlled mining companies, and treasury companies will lead the network towards centralization. He pointed out that if everyone hands over their private keys to institutions like BlackRock, Bitcoin will fail.He also discussed the phenomenon of central banks continuously buying gold instead of Bitcoin and emphasized that holding private keys is a form of resistance; investors need to allocate assets outside of the traditional banking system.

According to CNN, despite the increasing scrutiny surrounding Nvidia (NVDA.O), Trump continues to support U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.

Inflation data for October in the United States sends multiple warning signals. The data shows that the core CPI rose by 0.3% month-on-month, higher than the market expectation of 0.2%, exceeding expectations for the third consecutive month; the overall CPI rose by 0.4% month-on-month, also above expectations. The impact of rising energy prices is spreading to areas such as food and transportation, and service inflation remains robust, further complicating the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation.Specifically, food prices in the U.S. rose by 0.5% month-on-month in October, with grocery prices recording the largest monthly increase since April; urban transportation service prices saw the largest monthly increase since 2020, and prices for airline tickets and delivery services also increased. Additionally, service prices excluding energy and housing rents rose by 0.4% month-on-month, while owners' equivalent rent increased by 0.3%.AI investments are bringing new cost pressures. Over the past three months, the annualized price increase for computers and peripheral devices in the U.S. reached 25%, and electricity prices rose by 0.9% month-on-month in October, marking the largest increase in six months. Morgan Stanley estimates that AI-related factors have contributed about 6 basis points to the core CPI this year, with the current impact still relatively limited, but as data center investments expand, related pressures may rise further.In terms of monetary policy, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee described the latest inflation data as approaching an alarming level. Fed Governor Waller previously stated that if the core CPI month-on-month increase reaches 0.3% or higher, the December meeting should consider raising interest rates by 50 basis points. Goldman Sachs has included a forecast for an additional 25 basis point increase in March 2027, expecting that the target range for the federal funds rate will rise to 4.25% to 4.50%. However, some economists warn that there is a lag in the transmission of energy prices, and over-reliance on current data may lead to excessive tightening of monetary policy.
