📈 The market is green again tonight, have you entered the trade or are you still standing outside waiting?
After the election, market sentiment seems somewhat relieved. But is this the start of a new upward trend or just a rebound before another drop?
There are 3 notable scenarios:
* Bullish: The market continues to rise gradually, opening a new uptrend.
* To the Moon: The correction is over, BTC continues to break out towards the 90K zone.
* Bearish: Just a technical rebound before BTC turns down and breaks below 75K.
👉No Money: No capital left to catch the bottom, just watching the market run.
Sometimes the hardest thing is not predicting whether the market will rise or fall, but knowing when to invest and when to stay out.
Which scenario are you leaning towards? BTC to 90K or back below 75K?
Or still choosing to stay out waiting for an opportunity?

🕵️ Over 133 million USD in crypto stolen? A French bank is under suspicion by ZachXBT!
ZachXBT, a famous on-chain investigator, accuses Crédit Mutuel Arkéa of possibly being the victim of a crypto asset loss worth over 133 million USD.
Notably, the bank has not publicly confirmed the incident.
According to ZachXBT's investigation, there are several notable points in the case:
🔹 Prolonged withdrawals: The hacker is accused of withdrawing assets from the victim's accounts on multiple exchanges over several days.
🔹 Stolen assets: Mainly USDC and USDT.
🔹 Covering tracks: The funds were then converted into various other assets and circulated through multiple blockchains to conceal the money flow.
🔹 Potentially greater damage: ZachXBT believes that the lack of public information and transparency caused authorities to miss the chance to freeze about 30 million USD of stolen assets.
Another notable detail: In May, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa filed for a license under the EU's MiCA framework to provide crypto services to individual customers.
💭 The irony lies in the fact that a banking institution seeking to expand into digital assets is itself suspected in a massive crypto loss.
If the accusation is confirmed, this is not only a security issue but also raises questions about the responsibility to disclose incidents and protect customer assets.
What do you think? When a bank is suspected of losing hundreds of millions of USD in crypto, should they be obligated to disclose the information immediately or wait for authorities to verify? And who should be held accountable if delayed disclosure causes stolen assets to be unrecoverable? 👀

🐋 Tom Lee's Bitmine is close to reaching control of 5% of the ETH supply!
Bitmine continues to increase its Ethereum holdings, showing that the company's ETH accumulation strategy is still ongoing.
Notable figures:
Just purchased an additional 5,000 ETH, worth approximately 11.22 million USD.
Total ETH holdings have risen to 6.065 million ETH, equivalent to about 13.7 billion USD.
This amount of ETH accounts for about 4.96% of the total ETH supply.
Bitmine is now only 0.04 percentage points away from its goal of holding 5% of the supply.
💭 What's notable is not just the amount of ETH Bitmine owns, but also the strategy of accumulating an increasingly large share of Ethereum's total supply.
If institutions continue to accumulate ETH at this rate, the balance of holdings and market influence could change significantly.
Do you think Bitmine approaching the 5% ETH supply mark is a positive signal for Ethereum, or does it create risks of asset concentration in the hands of a few large organizations? 👀

🚨 The $6.3 billion hack started from a fake interview and AI software containing malware!
According to updates from Binance, the attack on October 29 was not a single breach but the result of a campaign prepared by hackers over several months.
Notably, the very tools used for daily work became the gateway for hackers to infiltrate the system.
Attack timeline:
🔹 June – The first vulnerability
A Binance engineer accidentally downloaded malware when installing an AI tool. Binance detected this and replaced the employee's computer, but the hacker had already gathered information about the wallet system team.
🔹 September – The fake interview
Hackers impersonated recruiters, sending a programming test containing malware to another engineer. This time, the malware went undetected.
🔹 October 20 – Expanding access
From the compromised computer, hackers used additional internal AI tools to access the computers of two other engineers, thereby gaining the ability to install software on the exchange's system.
🔹 October 29 – The final attack
Hackers used the access they had obtained to install malware into the wallet system, control the transaction approval service, and transfer assets out.
According to the information provided, about $6.3 billion in digital assets were moved off the exchange.
💭 The scariest part is not that hackers found a complex technical vulnerability. It is that they turned people, recruitment processes, and AI tools into links in the attack chain.
In the AI era, a tool seemingly designed to boost productivity can become a door for hackers to break in.
What do you think is the biggest risk for crypto exchanges today: security technology or the people operating the system? Are CEX exchanges truly safe when a single employee's mistake can lead to billions of dollars in losses?

⚖️ When AI disputes arise, an AI council will step in to adjudicate!
GenLayer has developed Internet Court – a system to resolve disputes between AIs when performing tasks on behalf of humans.
-Money is held temporarily in a contract and only released when the work is confirmed to be completed according to the agreement.
-A council of 5 AIs such as Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, DeepSeek... is randomly selected to make a majority decision.
-The disagreeing party can appeal to a larger AI council.
💭 An interesting idea: using multiple AIs to reduce the bias of a single model. But if they all make the same mistake, who will judge that council?
The future where AIs sue each other is coming.
🇭🇰 Hong Kong launches 24/7 tokenized payments, HSBC has 50,000 stablecoin users after 10 days!
- HKMA allows banks to make interbank payments with real money 24/7 through the EnsembleTX project.
- Banks and customers can transfer international funds and manage tokenized assets outside traditional trading hours.
- HSBC announced that the stablecoin RedCoin, pegged to HKD, reached 50,000 users in just about 10 days since launch.
💭 Traditional finance is gradually entering the 24/7 game.
Financial institutions are expanding more and more; not sure when it will reach the Vietnamese market.
🤖 AI can automatically increase crypto spending limits without human permission!
Research from Cornell Tech and Yale tested 10 AI models, each given a wallet containing 10 USDC with a spending limit of only 0.01 USD/day.
Notable results:
- 9/10 models read emails, retrieved verification codes, and raised spending limits on their own.
- When impersonated by attackers posing as wallet owners, 5/10 models further increased limits and transferred funds to the attackers.
- Only one model complied with the limit and reported back to the user.
💭 The issue is not just how smart AI is, but how much control over assets AI is granted.
The research team’s proposed solution: all transactions that elevate permissions or approvals must be confirmed by humans on a separate device that AI cannot access.
👉 Giving AI authority is convenient, but handing over wallet control could be a gamble.
