Strategy founder Michael Saylor has once again shared updates related to the Bitcoin Tracker, stating, "There's always room for more orange."

According to GMGN data, Solana-based meme coin Super Inu (SI) has surpassed $30 million in market capitalization, with a 24-hour gain of 32.1% and trading volume of $4.3 million. The development comes as SpaceXAI’s official X account—another entity under Elon Musk, following Tesla—has been renamed. The account is now called SpaceX Super Intelligence, with its handle changed from @SpaceXAI to @SpaceXSI, and Musk himself shared a screenshot of the updated account. On October 4, Musk publicly stated, “No longer called AI, SI is better.” He later promised netizens he would rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, and just six days after that announcement, the account has officially been updated. The move follows an executive order signed by Trump earlier, which requires U.S. federal agencies to replace “artificial intelligence” (AI) with “superintelligence” (SI) in official use. While the mandate does not apply to private companies, the official accounts of Tesla and SpaceXAI have already made the switch sequentially. BlockBeats reminds users that related tokens are highly volatile, so investors should exercise caution.

According to HTX market data, STRK (Starknet) has extended its 24-hour gain to 55%, briefly breaking above $0.12 and currently trading at $0.11, leading the altcoin market rally. On the news front, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated at Token2049 and in subsequent remarks that blockchains need post-quantum readiness and cryptographic agility to counter threats from quantum computing and AI acceleration. He clarified that Starknet is actively considering multiple options, including separating from Ethereum to become an independent Layer 1 (L1) chain, so as to independently control the pace of security migration, with the goal of achieving full quantum resistance by 2027 — earlier than Ethereum’s planned timeline. This "shift to L1 + quantum resistance" narrative quickly became a market focus, driving STRK’s consecutive sharp rally. On the technical and ecosystem front, the v0.14.4 mainnet launched on October 5, expanding SNIP-36 single-proof capacity to approximately 1.1 billion L2 gas, enabling proof verification for larger-scale off-chain computations; the strkBTC incentive program went live on October 2 (with the first 100 bridged BTC covering bridging fees and receiving weekly airdrops), further strengthening the Bitcoin-related narrative.

On-chain detective Specter revealed in his personal channel that an attacker address, implanted via unauthorized hardware into a Ledger hardware wallet linked to CryptoBilis, deposited 2,990 ETH (valued at approximately $7.45 million) to Tornado Cash between October 9 and 10. Monitoring data shows the attacker had earlier dispersed the funds to 14 addresses, then cross-chain converted the funds to the ZEC network via NEAR Intents for further privacy processing. Signs of address correlation were observed during the fund transfers: some withdrawal transactions reused the wallet addresses used for prior deposits, while other withdrawals were initiated by wallets linked to the wallet that paid gas fees during the theft, enabling researchers to trace the fund flow.

After hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger confirmed that devices sold by its Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis contained unauthorized hardware implants, analyst Darkfost has compiled a "Ledger Dealers to Watch" list, identifying nearby merchants whose supply chains may also be impacted, including Lazada, Shopee, Tokopedia, Bhinnekon, and Metapod. The list marks CryptoBilis as suspended, while the risk exposure of other dealers remains unknown. Darkfost stressed this is speculative, not confirmed, but advised users who purchased Ledger devices from these dealers in the past six months to transfer their assets to secure locations before the issue is resolved. Ledger previously stated the incident appears limited to this single distributor and its local market, adding its own infrastructure, systems, and services were not breached, and investigations are ongoing. Darkfost also recommended users willing to inspect their devices themselves refer to disassembly guides to verify if the hardware has been tampered with.
