Analysis: Profit Concerns in AI Lead to Overnight Drop in U.S. Stocks, Followed by Bitcoin Decline

According to an official announcement, Gate.io has officially launched its new Proof of Security (PoSEC), becoming the first digital asset exchange in the industry to introduce the PoSEC security proof system. The platform expands security verification from reserve sufficiency to asset storage structure and risk protection. As disclosed on Gate.io’s official page, as of the snapshot taken at 08:00 (UTC+8) on November 4, the platform’s cold storage coverage rate reaches 104.58%, with cold storage and hot wallet assets accounting for 88.26% and 11.74% respectively. This means that, per the relevant statistical standards, even if all hot wallet assets are lost, cold storage can still cover all user assets. Currently, the data set is being verified by an independent third-party audit firm, and the report will be published on the official website once completed. In 2020, Gate.io was the first to launch an open-source Proof of Reserves (PoR) solution, and has since continuously enhanced its multi-layer security system covering mechanisms including cold-hot wallet separation, multi-signature, multi-party secure computation (MPC), and dynamic risk monitoring. This pioneering PoSEC further extends fund security verification from reserve sufficiency to storage security and extreme risk coverage capability, offering a new practical approach for the industry to establish more comprehensive and transparent fund security standards.

According to Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs and Apollo have begun pitching a roughly $40 billion AI chip financing package for SpaceX to Wall Street investors, with some participants invited to pre-subscribe for up to $500 million in allocations; formal syndication is expected to launch soon. Unveiled in October this year, the deal is the largest GPU financing arrangement to date. Its structure is as follows: an Apollo-backed entity will purchase roughly $47.3 billion worth of NVIDIA GPUs and related equipment, primarily including next-generation Rubin chips. Around $40 billion of the purchase will be funded via debt, while another $7 billion will come from SpaceX’s prepaid lease payments. SpaceX will lease the chips over a roughly 5-year term, using this structure to keep the associated financing debt off its balance sheet to preserve its credit rating. The debt financing includes an $8.3 billion senior secured loan, plus multiple tranches of bonds offered to institutional investors. The NVIDIA chips are expected to be delivered in the first half of 2027. Notably, SpaceX’s lease payment obligations are unconditional: it must continue making rent payments even if the equipment is damaged or major events disrupt operations. Additionally, SpaceX does not guarantee the residual value of the chips at the end of the lease term.

Beating AI Insight News Brief: The joint project team of Tencent Hunyuan and WorkBuddy announced that after the official Hy4 version was integrated into WorkBuddy on November 4, a large number of users hit usage limits and experienced task queues on its first day of launch. The team has urgently scaled up Hy4’s inference cluster by 10 times and increased users’ free experience quotas. However, due to constraints on total high-end computing power and concentrated peak-hour requests, queues or usage limits may still occur at certain times. Tencent advises users to temporarily switch to other models such as Hy3, or use the service during off-peak evening hours. Meanwhile, the free experience period for Hy3 on WorkBuddy has been extended to 23:59 on November 15. Back in August this year, when Hy4 Preview made its debut, WorkBuddy also faced a surge in calls, requiring an urgent scale-up, which resulted in similar queue and limit issues at that time.

According to Reuters, after Binance suffered a $6.3 billion hack last week, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) began contacting banks on Monday to inquire about unusual activity or service disruptions in their systems, aiming to screen for risks of the crypto market security incident spreading to the traditional financial system. Sources familiar with the matter said multiple banks are conducting security diagnostics on their internal systems and assessing whether there are vulnerabilities that could be exploited by similar attack methods. The cybersecurity team of a major U.S. bank has contacted Binance and started drafting an internal report, which may later be used to review the bank’s systems and update its cybersecurity measures. Binance stated that it is currently in close contact with global regulators to promptly report the security incident. The Fed and OCC declined to comment. Sources also noted that the rapid evolution of AI models has increased the difficulty for banks to guard against hacks, and banks are investing significant resources in reviewing and patching cybersecurity code.

Binance Wallet has issued an announcement noting that the five original distribution dates and corresponding questionnaire deadlines for the PREDICT airdrop remain unchanged: the token launch date, November 6, 2026, November 13, November 20, and November 27. If PREDICT is officially launched after any of these scheduled distribution dates, the relevant batch plus all previously undistributed batches will be combined and released together in the first distribution batch following the token’s launch. Users do not need to resubmit their questionnaires, and eligibility for each airdrop batch will still be determined by the original questionnaire deadlines.
