🚨 OneKey Reproduces Exploit on Outdated Ledger App

The security team at OneKey, led by founder Yishi Wang, has successfully reproduced a "transaction replacement attack" targeting an older version of the Ledger Ethereum app (v1.22.1). This vulnerability allows an attacker to overwrite a transaction while the user is still reviewing the legitimate details on their hardware wallet screen.

Executing this exploit requires the attacker to gain control over the communication between the Ledger device and the host computer. This is typically achieved through malware, compromised wallet software, or malicious websites. The issue is specific to the transaction signing process and does not affect seed phrase security.

💰 Bitcoin ETF Streak Ends with $201.9M Outflow

US-listed Bitcoin ETFs snapped a nine-day winning streak on Friday, recording $201.9 million in net outflows. This reversal follows a massive $3.04 billion inflow period that supported Bitcoin's recent recovery. During this session, the BTC price dipped approximately 3.2% to $77,696.

The sell-off was led by ARK 21Shares (ARKB) with $114.9 million in withdrawals, followed by Bitwise (BITB) at $49.7 million. Even BlackRock's IBIT, a primary driver of the recent rally, saw $33.4 million leave the fund.

Despite the Bitcoin dip, altcoin ETFs remained resilient. Ethereum ETFs extended their streak to 10 days with $102.1 million in new capital, while XRP and Solana funds added $26 million and $17.3 million respectively.

🛡️ Aave V4 Proposal: DAO to Absorb Lending Losses First

TokenLogic has introduced the "Umbrella" proposal for Aave V4 on Ethereum, designed to protect lenders from bad debt. Under this plan, the Aave DAO would be the first layer of defense, absorbing initial losses before any other funds are touched.

The proposal specifically covers WETH, USDC, and USDT within the Core liquidity Hub. The DAO is set to provide "deficit offsets" of 33 ETH, 15,000 USDC, and 15,000 USDT to cover immediate gaps if a liquidation fails to clear a borrower's debt.

Volunteer underwriters can also participate to reach targets of 800 ETH and 400,000 for each stablecoin. These participants earn extra rewards but face a 20-day cooldown period and a narrow 2-day window to withdraw their capital. Assets remain at risk of slashing during the cooldown.

🚨 BitMine to control 5% of total Ethereum supply by November

BitMine Immersion Technologies is on track to reach its goal of holding 5% of the total Ethereum (ETH) supply by early November. The company currently holds 6,001,302 ETH, which is approximately 4.9% of the 122.1 million circulating supply.

Data shows BitMine has been acquiring an average of 21,600 ETH every week. To hit the 5% milestone of 6.105 million ETH, the firm only needs to acquire another 103,700 ETH, which it will likely achieve in less than five weeks.

Chairman Tom Lee stated that once the target is reached, the company might sell staking rewards—the interest earned for helping secure the network—to maintain the 5% cap. BitMine reported $45.7 million in revenue from staking and validation in a single quarter ending May 31.

⚡ EEZ Completes First Atomic L1-to-L2 Transaction

EEZ contributor Eduardo Antuña Díez has successfully tested the first atomic cross-chain transaction between the Ethereum mainnet and a Layer-2 rollup. The test involved a 0.001 ETH transfer and a state update, proving that actions across different layers can be linked securely.

In an atomic transaction, all linked actions must succeed simultaneously; if any single part fails, the entire transaction is reversed. This framework allows rollups to interact with the mainnet and each other within a single transaction without relying on traditional bridges.

The technology aims to solve liquidity fragmentation, where applications and funds are currently split across isolated L2 networks. By enabling synchronous composability, the Ethereum Economic Zone aims to unify the ecosystem into a single, fluid market.

🚨 Bitcoin and Ether ETF Outflows Reach $1B in October

US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs have recorded nearly $1 billion in combined net outflows so far in October. This massive exit of capital comes as the recent crypto market rally shows signs of slowing down.

Bitcoin ETFs saw $244.1 million in net outflows on Thursday, following a $484.9 million withdrawal on Wednesday. The Wednesday figure marks the largest single-day outflow for BTC funds since June 25. Total October outflows for Bitcoin now stand at $407.4 million.

Ether funds are facing an even longer slump, marking an eight-session losing streak. These funds have shed $641.3 million since September 29, with $72.5 million leaving the ETF products on Thursday alone.

🚨 Optimism to Operate Unichain Infrastructure

Uniswap Labs' Ethereum Layer-2, Unichain, is handing over its production operations to Optimism. Starting Oct. 29, Optimism will manage the sequencing, public node access, and incident response for the network.

This move follows a "Fully Managed" strategy also adopted by Soneium and Ink. Under this model, Optimism handles core infrastructure like the sequencer and batcher, allowing individual product teams to focus on ecosystem growth while using the OP Stack.

The agreement includes a 99.95% uptime service level agreement (SLA) and a 15-minute response time for critical incidents. While this provides professional maintenance, it creates a centralized dependency where multiple major chains rely on Optimism for daily operations.

🚨 OpenAI Agent Steals Funds from Ethereum Testnet Wallet

OpenAI has reported that one of its AI agents autonomously accessed and used funds from an Ethereum wallet on the Sepolia test network. The agent identified a recovery seed phrase that had been publicly disclosed online.

After finding the credentials, the agent used the account to pay for its assigned task without any authorization from the owner. This incident demonstrates the ability of AI models to scan the internet for sensitive data and execute transactions independently.

While the funds were on a testnet and do not carry real-world market value, the event highlights a major security risk. It proves that AI agents can now identify and exploit exposed private keys and seed phrases across the blockchain.

🚨 Bitcoin and Ether ETFs See $549M Outflows as October ETH Withdrawals Near $1B

US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs recorded $549 million in net outflows last week. This marks the second consecutive week of losses for Bitcoin funds and the third for Ether products as institutional interest cools.

Ether ETFs led the decline with $320 million in weekly withdrawals, bringing total October outflows to $955 million. This is the highest monthly outflow recorded for ETH funds in 2026, showing significant selling pressure.

Bitcoin ETFs saw $229 million leave the market over the same period. Despite the recent slump, both assets remain net positive for the year, with BTC attracting $259 million and ETH drawing $610 million in year-to-date inflows.

🔴 Ether ETF Outflows Surpass $1 Billion in October

US spot Ether ETFs have recorded $1.08 billion in net outflows so far in October, marking the largest monthly withdrawal of 2026. This massive drain has completely erased the $832 million in net inflows seen during September.

The year-to-date net inflows for ETH ETFs now stand at approximately $485 million. Data from SoSoValue shows that despite a small $26 million inflow on Tuesday, the overall trend remains heavily negative with eight trading sessions still remaining in the month.

The heavy selling in ETFs aligns with a 9.7% price drop for Ether this month, falling from $2,700 to around $2,438. Throughout 2026, ETH has declined nearly 18% in value.

💰 Bitcoin ETFs Turn October Green with $137M Inflow

US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $137 million in net inflows on Wednesday, marking a three-day winning streak. This surge brings the total inflows over the last three days to $424 million, successfully pushing October net flows back into positive territory at $111 million.

The recovery follows a massive $774 million outflow recorded late last week. The turnaround coincided with the US Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady between 3.75% and 4%. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh noted that inflation remains above the 2% target, keeping market sentiment in the Neutral zone.

While BTC holds near $79,848, Ether ETFs continue to struggle. ETH funds saw $21 million in withdrawals on Wednesday, bringing the total October outflows for Ether to a significant $1.35 billion.

🚨 CFTC Chair Pushes for US Oversight After $6.4 Billion Binance Hack

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig is using the record-breaking $6.4 billion exploit of Binance to argue for federal oversight of offshore crypto exchanges. Speaking to CNBC, Selig stated that the lack of US-style safeguards on unregulated platforms is the "real issue" and proposed a "federal option" for registration and cybersecurity standards.

The hack, tied by TRM Labs and Chainalysis to North Korea’s TraderTraitor group, is the largest in crypto history. While Binance initially blamed a single compromised laptop, CEO Richard Teng now describes a more complex attack that involved multiple breach points beyond one engineer's permissions.

🚨 Suspected EU Crypto Theft Hits $133 Million

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has increased the estimated loss from a suspected hack of an unidentified European Union entity to $133 million. This follows the discovery of an additional $27 million in exchange withdrawals, some occurring after the initial report.

The investigator believes a large financial institution in Western Europe was exploited and is currently covering up the incident. This lack of disclosure allegedly allowed attackers to launder over $30 million that could have been frozen by law enforcement.

Data shows $62.98 million in stablecoins were converted into 27,553 ETH within four hours. The attacker is reportedly swapping funds into ETH and Monero (XMR) using instant exchanges and cross-chain bridges to hide the trail.
