Huobi HTX has launched AERGO perpetual contracts and kicked off a contract trading party.

Beating AI Express News: On the evening of October 31, the DeepSeek Harness team published a technical paper titled "Exploring Super-agent Design: Towards More Autonomous Agent Systems". DeepSeek noted that advancements in model capabilities have spurred new application forms, with personal agents recently emerging in large numbers. However, mainstream agent designs today struggle to support this model at scale for multi-tasking and team collaboration. Agents still operate with a single session as their basic unit, and different sessions function independently. Under this design, the upper limit for single tasks depends on model capabilities, while the upper limit for multi-tasks depends on human attention. Through concepts including a two-layer architecture, event-driven design, asynchronous multi-channel interaction, separation of storage and computation, and an external watchdog, the DeepSeek team has overcome these limitations. The system handles tedious session management and context synchronization at the underlying layer, allowing humans to shift focus from specific execution details to higher-level decision-making and acceptance. DeepSeek refers to this agent form and its system architecture as a "Super-agent". The paper notes that internal Super-agent instances built using this framework are already running continuously, regularly participating in issue reproduction and fixes, code review responses, and the iteration of DeepSeek Harness itself.

According to community reports, some VergeX users have complained that they received consecutive withdrawal verification code emails around 21:56 Beijing Time, after which their account funds were transferred out. VergeX team member Tintin (@Tintinx2021) later responded in the community, stating that the incident involved a small amount of funds, only individual users were affected, with each user losing up to around 850 USDT. He added that compensation is already underway, and the affected users' funds will be fully refunded to their accounts within 72 hours, while other users are not impacted. As of press time, VergeX's official X account has not released any related announcements.

According to an official announcement, Binance has raised the recovery rate of its stolen assets from approximately 80% to 90%. The exchange had earlier set aside more than $6.34 billion in its own funds to cover losses from the security incident. Currently, BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD, and ZEC all enjoy 100% full reserve backing. The recovery funds are sourced in part from the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), a portion of the contract insurance fund, and the company’s own capital; the remaining balance of the contract insurance fund is retained in compliance with regulatory requirements. The roughly 10% of unrecovered assets consist solely of tokens outside the aforementioned 10, and due to their relatively low liquidity, acquiring the required amounts may take longer. Binance is continuing to repurchase these assets via market and over-the-counter (OTC) channels. A new Proof of Reserves (PoR) snapshot was completed at 08:00 Beijing Time on October 31, with the relevant data updated on the exchange’s official website. Binance stated that generating the zero-knowledge proof will take 40 to 50 hours, and the full proof is expected to be released on November 3 (UTC). Holders of the 10 tokens will then be able to verify for themselves whether their assets are backed by at least a 1:1 full reserve. Binance reiterated that it will fully absorb the financial losses from the theft, which will not be passed on to users. Work to restore withdrawal services is proceeding as planned, with an expected resumption on November 1; specific details will be announced separately once confirmed.

SlowMist founder Yu Xian stated in a post that Lido’s 7-day average APR has jumped from 2.2% to 4.2% over the past two days. He pointed out that yesterday’s Binance hack sparked fierce on-chain competition, driving up Ethereum execution layer rewards and benefiting stETH holders as a result.

Data from Public Citizen shows crypto-related organizations have donated over $200 million in the current U.S. election cycle, aiming to influence the 2026 midterms and push Congress to pass industry-friendly regulatory rules. One of the industry’s top priorities is advancing comprehensive digital asset market structure legislation after the Clarity Act stalled. Fairshake and its affiliated super PAC are backing 33 House candidates, including 19 Republicans and 14 Democrats. Coinbase and Ripple each donated $25 million to Fairshake’s midterm efforts in 2025. The Ohio Senate race is a key battleground. Fairshake states it has spent $55 million in this election cycle opposing Democratic candidate Sherrod Brown, a long-time crypto industry critic, whose opponent is incumbent Republican Senator Jon Husted, a crypto supporter. Coinbase-founded advocacy group Stand With Crypto has endorsed 45 candidates, including 42 House candidates and 3 Senate candidates. The Clarity Act stalled in the Senate in September, with Democratic lawmakers arguing it is insufficient to prevent senior government officials from profiting from crypto activities. Reports note that if the bill cannot advance before the end of the year, the new Congress will need to restart work on market structure legislation. Coinbase Vice President Ryan VanGrack said that regardless of who is elected, the industry will still gain more regulatory clarity, but uncertainty remains over whether legislation will ultimately be finalized.
