During TOKEN2049, multiple crypto security attacks were exposed, with one trader suffering losses exceeding $4 million.

According to market data from BIT Stock Platform, Nvidia (NVDA.O) fell more than 4% in pre-market trading on US stocks.

Japan’s digital asset issuance and management platform Progmat has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with U.S.-based Digital Asset Holdings, planning to migrate the trading and settlement of real-world assets (RWA) including Japanese government bonds (JGBs) onto the blockchain via the institutional-grade Canton Network. The two parties’ first phase will focus on integrating Progmat’s platform with the Canton Network, developing tokenized JGB products (tJGB) that retain the existing legal attributes of Japanese government bonds, and linking with existing securities transfer ledger systems. While upholding the legal validity of JGB right transfers and settlement finality, they will explore enabling 24/7 on-chain settlement. The Digital Asset Creation Consortium (DCC) led by Progmat has established a dedicated working group, and plans to launch the second phase of live testing in November. This phase will test the issuance and management of test assets including tJGB, tokenized deposits, and stablecoins on the Canton Network, and gradually connect domestic and international repo trading and collateral platforms. Earlier, MUFG and its three subsidiary financial institutions also announced their participation in the cooperation, to verify the full on-chain process of delivery versus payment (DvP) for government bonds and digital assets, as well as repo transactions.

According to monitoring by OnchainLens, a crypto whale has been steadily withdrawing LINK from Binance and transferring it to its multi-signature wallet. Over the past two days, the address has withdrawn approximately $1.98 million worth of LINK across 10 transactions, with the latest withdrawal valued at around $281,600.

According to Blockaid’s monitoring, Ankr’s Ethereum cross-chain bridge is under attack, with approximately $292,000 in losses incurred so far, and the attack is still ongoing. The attacker initiated 5 withdrawal calls to the cross-chain bridge on Ethereum, exploiting a small deposit on Optimism to unlock all assets locked in the bridge and transfer them to a newly created address.

Binance stated that a claim selling 335.9 million user data records is likely a scam, with no evidence found of breaches to its systems, customer identity verification data, account credentials, or wallet private keys, and the investigation remains ongoing. Security monitoring firm ThreatMon reported that the forum seller is demanding $900,000 and threatening to publicly release the data if Binance fails to pay. The seller claims the data covers users from approximately 170 countries, including identity information, passwords, and private keys, but these assertions and samples have not been verified, and the number of records does not equal the number of affected individuals. Binance pointed out that the platform does not store passwords in plaintext, does not hold private keys for users’ external wallets, and the information references regions where it no longer operates. This data breach rumor is distinct from the October 29 wallet attack incident.
