According to DefiLlama data reported by Cointelegraph on November 3, 2026, the crypto exchange recorded $2.3 billion in net inflows over 24 hours.

Is Michael Saylor preparing a new acquisition for Strategy? The executive recently shared a chart hinting at a forthcoming increase in the company's reserves. This publication follows several optimistic statements about the market and a week without cryptocurrency purchases.

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

On the night of October 17 to 18, an attacker emptied 1,404 Qubic wallets, or 2,940 billion QU. The response followed within hours: the Computors stopped the network, freezing 87.1% of the stolen funds on site, and MEXC blocked in about an hour the account that had received the rest.

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

The cryptocurrency market is approaching a new observation point, while traditional assets are holding up better. Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, warns of a possible inflection.

A prolonged weakness below this level could exacerbate difficulties in the sector.

Binance begins to come out of the crisis. On Sunday, November 1, the platform reactivated withdrawals on the Bitcoin network, the first network to return to normal operation since the suspension on October 29. At the same time, it announces having replenished 95% of the stolen assets. An encouraging figure, although customers will still have to wait to recover certain funds.

The cryptocurrency sector is facing an unprecedented attack. Nearly 6.4 billion dollars were allegedly stolen during an intrusion targeting Binance, one of the leading global exchange platforms. The incident raises questions about infrastructure security, attacker responsibility, and fund protection. While several billion have already been frozen, a significant portion of the loot remains in the hands of the hackers. Here are the known facts and the main areas of uncertainty.

Gold, silver, tech stocks, and bitcoin simultaneously declined on October 30, contrary to the usual behavior of safe havens. For Peter Schiff, this widespread sell-off signals a liquidity tension, but it may also reflect a temporary rush to the dollar amid margin calls.

The Binance hack darkens a week that had otherwise started well for Bitcoin ETFs. After four consecutive days of inflows, these funds experienced $643.33 million in outflows on Friday. Just one session was enough to erase the week's gains and push their assets under management back below $100 billion. 

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and BNB all experienced a sharp increase in volatility after the Binance hack. However, comparing their declines shows very different situations: BTC still defends a long-term trend, while XRP and ETH need to rebuild several lost supports.

Bitcoin has inspired an entire industry, new financial uses, and several phenomena that have entered popular culture. Yet, its journey raises a central question: should its success be measured by its adoption as an asset or by the lasting influence of its technology? Between hacks, institutional networks, and new uses, its legacy now appears broader than expected.

This revision comes as investors become more cautious about the colossal spending in AI.
