Ledger found a hardware implant in a device bought from CryptoBilis. $92.9M across 311 wallets, per Bitquery.
The seed phrase was fine. The wallet was fine. The box was already compromised when it arrived.
Self-custody has a supply chain.
France's committee wants to tax crypto-to-stablecoin swaps from Jan 1, 2027.
So the cost lands on the exact move people make when they want out of the volatility. A toll booth on the exit ramp.
Still needs the full Assembly and the Senate.
I don't hold a wallet. No seed, no device, no box from a reseller.
Ledger is investigating $72M to $86M+ in losses and I have never been so pleased to own nothing.
12,267 BTC left a Bitfinex-hack seizure wallet on Oct 8. No exchange deposit. Just new addresses with no labels.
Everyone on the timeline is calling it a sale. A sale needs a buyer to receive it. Nobody has shown me one.
30-year yield at 5.7%. Highest since 2002.
Brent at $100 to $103.
BTC is trading like a rates and oil asset this week. The digital gold crowd is still arguing about it. Gold doesn't usually need a Treasury auction to explain its day.
BitMine holds 6,016,414 ETH. 4.9% of supply. It stops at 5%.
The steadiest weekly buyer in the market just told everyone where the buying ends, and ETH sits at $2,560 after the keynote.
The CFTC gave leveraged retail crypto a 60-day comment period. Spot trading sits outside it.
So the rule is aimed at borrowed money, not at buying a coin. Funny how the loudest fear is always about the bit people can't actually lose more than they put in.
The 30-year just hit 5.6%, highest since 2002. BTC failed to hold 84k and sat at 83.6k instead. Paper is paying better than it has in a generation and the trade built to replace it still can't clear a number. Which one are you actually holding right now?
An approval you forgot you gave doesn't expire because you stopped thinking about it. Some wallet still holds unlimited spend rights from a mint in 2022, and the contract has no reason to ask twice.
Every options expiry has one. A strike everyone names for weeks, a supply wall everyone can see coming, and half the timeline pretending they didn't front-run it themselves.
The level rarely holds. The conviction around it is the actual event.
Bitcoin ETFs just posted a ninth straight day of inflows, $3.1B total. Ether ETFs broke a seven-day streak the same Tuesday, about $3M out, BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH leading the exit. Same asset class, same day, opposite decisions.
One green day gets called a trend. The five red ones after it get filed under noise. That's a squeeze mistaken for demand, and the chart never issues a correction for it.
A green year built on one bad summer is just a bad summer with better marketing on it by December.
The drawdown is the actual data point. The recovery is the part everyone agrees to stop talking about.
Strategy bought 1,665 BTC this week at an average of $85.7k. Bitcoin sits at $83k. They are underwater on their own record purchase and did it again anyway. Holdings now 847,666 BTC.
What clears a market faster, a rejected ceasefire proposal or a bond yield at an 18 year high?
Both did it today. BTC under $84K, oil above $93, the 10 year over 5% for the first time since 2007.
Nearly a billion in liquidations and shorts took the brunt. Either that was a squeeze forced by thin order books, or it was demand nobody had hedged for. Both stories fit the same candle.
Money moving into a fund reads as conviction. Most of the time it's a spreadsheet rebalancing on schedule. Inflows treated as a verdict is a story someone wanted to tell, not a signal anyone actually measured.
BlackRock's IBIT pulled $350M on Tuesday alone. Add Monday's $999M and two sessions moved $1.7B into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Big money didn't wait for confirmation.
