Transaction revenues fell by 44% year-on-year, while the adjusted net profit reached only $78 million.

Bitcoin miners generated $1.215 billion in October, their best monthly result since November 2025. This apparent record masks a less favorable reality: each unit of computing power now yields much less, which increases the gaps between operators.

Bitcoin lost 7.32% in October, ending three consecutive months of gains and the traditional "Uptober" scenario.

The flaw did not come from the protocol but from seed generation on certain Apple devices, and it also concerns intact wallets.
