Leading domestic storage chip giant Changxin Technology has completed verification of its sixth-generation process technology platform for engineering samples. On October 30, Changxin Technology disclosed during its third-quarter earnings conference that, building on key breakthroughs in the 4F2 vertical channel DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) architecture, the sixth-generation process technology platform has passed engineering sample validation. Per industry practice, completion of engineering sample verification means the platform’s core performance metrics have met design expectations on actual wafers, and after client-side validation, it can enter mass production phase.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that ICE has reissued its announcement of a partnership with Trade.xyz to introduce Hyperliquid-based perpetual contracts to the U.S. ICE’s deletion of the original post last night sparked mild panic among some X users, who worried the collaboration had been canceled. The revised announcement highlights more restrictive conditions: ICE “plans” to launch the related markets, and the move is “subject to regulatory approval.” Terrett speculates this may simply be due to the legal team’s extra caution.

ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), reposted its partnership announcement with Trade.xyz on its official X (Twitter) account, revising the wording to add phrases such as "plans to introduce" and "subject to regulatory approval". The announcement states that ICE and Trade.xyz plan to bring Hyperliquid-based perpetual contracts to the U.S. If regulatory approval is obtained, ICE will operate the regulated U.S. version of Trade.xyz’s market, leveraging Trade.xyz’s expertise as a leading deployer of real-world asset perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid. The new trading venue will operate independently of ICE’s institutional futures business, delivering a trading experience tailored for retail participants. Upon launch, U.S. traders will be able to trade a range of macro-market assets around the clock, including crypto assets, stocks, indices, commodities, and foreign exchange. Users will access the platform via U.S.-regulated Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), which will conduct KYC/AML checks, including a joint venture between ICE and OKX. ICE and Trade.xyz will pursue necessary approvals to launch KYC-compliant perpetual contract markets based on Hyperliquid, including applying for regulatory approval required to support leveraged trading.

Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis disclosed it has experienced a cybersecurity incident, with some non-sensitive customer data exposed. The company said that based on ongoing investigations, no evidence of unauthorized access to investigative materials, authentication credentials, or session tokens has been identified. Chainalysis has engaged third-party cybersecurity experts and is leveraging large language models to support security reviews and bolster defenses. The firm stressed that this incident is unrelated to the recent crypto asset theft at Binance. Separately, Chainalysis previously stated on X that hacking attacks suspected to be tied to North Korea account for nearly 89% of reported crypto hacking losses this year, a rise from 15% in 2021.

Crypto analyst Darkfost stated in a post that the average cost basis of Bitcoin short-term holders (STH) is nearly $76,000, with the current price testing their holding confidence. The STH MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value Ratio) is approaching the neutral level of 1; the indicator rose above 1.18 in late September, hitting its highest point since July 2025, signaling that the group’s unrealized profit was at a more than one-year high at that time. He pointed out that the cost basis of short-term holders has been steadily rising since mid-August (when it stood at around $67,500), showing that this group participated in Bitcoin’s rally over the same period. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin’s medium-term momentum turning positive, the price range corresponding to MVRV returning to neutral may prompt short-term holders to take action: either continue buying, or capitulate and sell as seen yesterday. He noted that both behaviors typically coexist, but it remains to be seen whether holding confidence will prevail.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei met with senior commanders of the armed forces and issued directives: Maintaining a prudent state of combat readiness and confronting enemies with formidable force is a necessary condition for achieving "maximum deterrence". He ordered that all threats, regardless of their level or form, must be met with an immediate, effective response unconstrained by geographic boundaries. Mujtaba emphasized that if enemies launch another military or terrorist attack, the Iranian Armed Forces and the Iranian people will be the ones to determine the timing and terms of the conflict’s end. He also stressed the need to strengthen the military intelligence system, deepen indigenous defense capabilities in both "theoretical" and "tactical" domains, leverage new technologies to advance modern national defense and security capabilities, boost spiritual strength and combat morale, and consistently meet the living needs and logistical support of the armed forces. The directives also call for updating target lists to ensure all tangible and intangible assets of hostile forces, namely the United States and Israel, fall within the strike range of the Iranian Armed Forces. Mujtaba expressed gratitude for the unwavering stance of resistance fronts in various countries, noting that unity across all sectors is a decisive, strategically significant variable in shaping a new political and security order in West Asia. He hoped this new order would further unify the peoples and governments of Islamic countries, creating conditions for the establishment of a new Islamic civilization.
