According to Bitcoin News monitoring, a German Ledger user @jayr_crypto reported receiving a forged letter again this week. The letter impersonates Ledger, claiming that new regulations require users to register their Bitcoin wallets through a service called ZenLedger by October 31. The letter uses Ledger's official branding elements and mentions German financial regulators, while also including a QR code that directs users to a so-called mandatory registration process.The user believes that addresses exposed in a previous data breach are being used for targeted attacks on Ledger users. In the same week, Ledger coordinated with MediaMarktSaturn to suspend the sale of its hardware wallets in a European retail network covering 11 countries and over 1,000 stores.Earlier reports indicated that malicious spy implants were found inside Ledger devices purchased from European retailers. Ledger confirmed separately that compromised devices sold by a Southeast Asian distributor contained implants capable of stealing recovery phrases and transmitting them over cellular networks. Ledger has not confirmed any breaches of devices in Europe. Ledger users are currently facing physical supply chain tampering and targeted phishing attacks initiated using home addresses. Do not scan suspicious QR codes or enter recovery phrases.

According to CryptoQuant analyst nocoffeenobrain's monitoring, Bitcoin holdings aged 1-3 years and over 3 years showed signs of activity as early as the end of September, when the BTC price rose from the mid-$70,000s to the mid-$80,000s.Recently, Ledger was hacked, prompting a large number of users to migrate their assets to new signers and change their mnemonic phrases. It is expected that the 7-day moving average will further rise in the coming days. Analysts pointed out that similar patterns have occurred before—during the period from January to February this year, when BTC fell from the mid-$90,000s to the mid-$60,000s, and during the period from July to August when BTC fluctuated in the mid-$60,000s, both of the aforementioned holding age segments showed synchronized activity.

Coinbase released a technical discussion article on Bitcoin's Post-Quantum Readiness, stating that Bitcoin needs to proactively address the cryptographic risks posed by quantum computing in the future and recommends that the community begin relevant migration preparations as soon as possible.Coinbase believes that Bitcoin's quantum-resistant upgrade involves not only selecting new quantum-resistant signature algorithms but also considering factors such as block space limitations, full node validation capabilities, institutional custody needs, ordinary wallet compatibility, and solutions for handling funds that cannot be migrated. Bitcoin should consider introducing output structures that support quantum-resistant signatures and explore hybrid solutions, such as allowing the same funds to have both traditional ECDSA/Schnorr signatures and quantum-resistant signatures as authorization paths for a smooth transition.Additionally, Coinbase emphasizes that the quantum migration will take years, and the community should complete preparations before the threat of quantum computing truly emerges. For BTC funds that have not migrated for a long time, lost private keys, or exposed public keys, Coinbase believes that solutions should still be sought through governance and technical discussions.

The Finance Committee of the French National Assembly has passed an amendment that proposes requiring the declaration of self-custodied wallet crypto assets with a year-end value reaching or exceeding €100,000 (approximately $112,000). Those who fail to declare may face fines of up to €10,000 (approximately $11,000). This regulation has not yet become law and may still be adjusted in the future.Harry Halpin, CEO of privacy infrastructure company Nym, stated that personnel from the French tax authorities are suspected of selling taxpayer data to criminals, and the new declaration requirements could threaten the safety of holders. Rand Hindi, founder of the privacy protocol Zama, urged French crypto asset holders to leave France, and those who cannot should hire security for their families.As this proposal emerges, France has seen several incidents of crypto asset robberies, kidnappings, and "ransom attacks" in recent years. The committee had also previously passed measures such as considering the exchange of crypto assets for stablecoins as a taxable sale and expanding the scope of the crypto asset exit tax, but the budget revenue portion was subsequently rejected by a vote of 31 to 3, and the related amendments need to be resubmitted.

On October 12, Alessandro Savarese, the product head of the collaboration platform Airtable, stated that he joined Bending Spoons after completing the acquisition in early September and is responsible for product development. The team has communicated with customers, builders, account administrators, and partners to identify priorities for the remainder of 2026 and most of 2027. The vision is to place teams, data, workflows, and agents on the same platform, with investment directions including continuous improvement of the core product, enabling AI to collaborate with humans, and strengthening centralized control at the account level.Organizationally, Airtable will part ways with a significant portion of the pre-acquisition team, with relevant personnel leaving by the end of that week and receiving severance compensation. The article states that this does not reflect the quality of their work. Bending Spoons has sent in experienced engineers, product managers, and designers. For customers, the packages, pricing, and service content remain unchanged, and the customer-facing organization is unaffected.

According to K33 Research, the U.S. government transferred approximately 17,733 BTC to Coinbase Prime this week, including 12,267 BTC related to the Bitfinex hacking incident. After the transfer, the government's marked holdings decreased from 324,527 BTC to 306,795 BTC. If we include unmarked suspected government wallets, the total amount of BTC transferred to Coinbase Prime is about 21,500 BTC.Analysis suggests that this transfer is likely a custody operation rather than a sale—Coinbase Prime has been the custodian for the U.S. Marshals Service since 2024. The cryptocurrencies related to Bitfinex are still in the claims process, and the Department of Justice has requested that victims be compensated in BTC; the ban on the strategic Bitcoin reserve only covers cryptocurrencies that have been fully confiscated. Additionally, about 1,200 BTC from FTX and HashFlare were transferred simultaneously, which may be paid to victims in cash through compensation channels.It is noteworthy that approximately 15,000 BTC related to Bitfinex claims were transferred within two days, which may indicate that the distribution plan or related rulings are progressing.

On October 12, Polygon announced that its Open Money Stack (OMS) has launched automated stablecoin payment operations. The team can set the recipient range, payment budget, and operation window all at once. At the start of the cycle, the product sends a payment request without the need to re-sign for each transfer.The pre-set content by the team includes approved payment operations and recipient range, project expenditure limits, operation window, and expiration time, as well as the ability to close current rules. The wallet will verify the recipient range, expenditure limits, and expiration time on-chain, and the team can also close the rules in advance to prevent the next payment request.Related terms are recorded in the Sessions Module on the wallet chain and executed at the contract layer. Once approved, the backend cannot expand the recipient range, increase expenditure limits, or extend expiration time; requests that exceed the agreed terms will be rejected. This process is part of the same system as deposits, holding stablecoin balances, and subsequent settlement routing.
