"Late last week, Binance was hacked and $6.3 billion of customers' funds was stolen. According to reports by Binance and other media sources, the exploit stems from an infiltration of a contractor into Binance's corporate infrastructure. The FBI has named North Korea (DPRK) as the perpetrator. While this is a terrible development, in my view, the relatively muted crypto market reaction is very constructive, particularly compared to the market's response to prior sizable crypto thefts," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
"In February 2025, ByBit was also hacked by DPRK (with a very different methodology) and $1.5 billion of customer crypto was stolen. The day the ByBit theft was announced, ETH fell 8% and was down 20% within a week. By contrast, since the Binance theft was disclosed, ETH went down 4%. We believe this is a far more muted market reaction despite the size of the theft being approximately quadruple the size," continued Lee.
"We believe there are 6 reasons that explain why the Binance theft has a muted market reaction. These are:
➡️Binance has the financial capabilities to cover all customer losses.
➡️There was not a 'cascade' of Defi protocol failures, as was seen post-ByBit theft.
➡️Swift industry action cut potential loss by 50%.
➡️FBI named North Korea (DPRK) as the responsible party within 2 days of the theft. Historically, authorities have taken as long as 180 days to name DPRK in prior heists.
➡️Exploit was a "corporate infiltration" of Binance infrastructure and not a blockchain exploit.
➡️Limited price downside is a sign that a crypto "bull market" is underway, notwithstanding recent price declines.
And taken altogether, we believe this is a sign that the crypto industry is increasingly resilient and more capable of absorbing these nation-state assaults on financial infrastructure,"
stated Lee.

As of November 1, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands 5,227,037 $11.8 billion at $2,261 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world.
At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward would be $415 million on an annualized basis (using 2.58% 7-day BMNR yield).
This compares to annualized staking revenues at $358 million based upon BMNR's 5.2 million currently staked ETH (86% of the 6.05 million ETH held by Bitmine)," continued Lee.

I think that $ETH to $3,000 isn't far away.
The reason for that is that we've just had a very obvious sweep of the lows.
At that point, the consensus is that we'll continue to fall.
What happens?
Probably the exact opposite of what the consensus currently is.
If #Ethereum is able to flip $2,400, you could argue that this is a deviation beneath the low and we'll start grinding back upwards.
This will fuel: long buyers, and short liquidations.
My first target zone for that is the area at $2,800 and most likely $3,000-3,100.
The best evidence to show Crypto is positively differentiating itself this cycle:
- Bitmine's pfd perpetual $BMNP up 24% since launch June 2026
- US long-term bonds $TLT -8%
- US investment grade $LQD -6%
- US high-yield $HYG -3%
Crypto credit outperforming fixed income = bullish
$BMNR $ETH
$ORCL surged after announcing a roadmap requiring far less external capital (debt and equity)
- @Oracle stock rose 11%
- Bitmine less than 40,000 $ETH away from 5%
See the analogy 👀
Ethereum is the place for onchain finance
$ORCL just laid out a path to $225B in revenue by FY2030 which would triple its business in 4 years.
Even more interesting is that Oracle expects its growth to be self-funded by FY2029 which could ease concerns about how much debt it needs to finance its massive AI buildout.

Key rotation, native multisigs, huge security advances via transaction assertions, native post quantum signing schemes, ...
