According to a social media post from ARK Invest Research Director Lorenzo Valente, the crypto industry has lost a total of $26.9 billion to hacks since 2017, while cumulative on-chain revenue over the same period stands at $47 billion—meaning for every $1 the sector earns in on-chain revenue, 57 cents are stolen. He noted that the $6.36 billion loss from the Binance hack alone exceeds the total projected on-chain revenue for 2026, adding that “security is the bottleneck.” Valente also shared an ARK Invest chart, pointing out that driven by the Binance breach, crypto hack losses in 2026 are on track to surpass on-chain revenue for the first time since 2020. The chart shows that as of November 11, 2026, year-to-date hack losses (not extrapolated) total $8.7 billion, with the Binance hack accounting for $6.36 billion. On-chain revenue is calculated by annualizing actual figures from the first three quarters of 2026 and adding the fourth quarter estimate, coming to $5.6 billion. For context, in 2020, hack losses hit $4 billion while on-chain revenue was $1 billion; in 2021, on-chain revenue reached $12.5 billion.

Bitcoin mining firm MARA Holdings (MARA) disclosed in its Q3 2026 report and shareholder letter filed on November 9 that after the third quarter ended, the company sold 13,597 bitcoins at an average price of roughly $81,039, bringing in around $1.1 billion in proceeds. It used $750 million of that sum to fully repay bitcoin loans borrowed from Coinbase Credit and Two Prime, and released 17,477 bitcoins previously pledged as collateral. The sale represents approximately 40% of MARA’s 34,012 bitcoin holdings as of September 30. The shareholder letter noted the $750 million loan was taken on August 4, comprising $600 million in new financing and $150 million to replace an existing line of credit, to fund the Long Ridge acquisition. The company borrowed against its bitcoin holdings when the cryptocurrency traded at around $64,000, and sold the coins at the aforementioned average price after the quarter, generating an estimated net profit of roughly $170 million. Following the repayment, the share of MARA’s bitcoins that were lent or pledged as collateral fell to below 5%, down from about 57% at the end of Q3. The firm also said it has cut its debt by $1.4 billion since the start of 2026, equal to 37% of its total debt. The letter added MARA will continue to sell bitcoins as market conditions permit to boost financial flexibility, with proceeds potentially allocated to artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, convertible bond put options exercisable next year, and potential share repurchases. In the first nine months of 2026, MARA has sold approximately 26,984 bitcoins, generating $1.9 billion in proceeds.

The New York Times, citing five former NVIDIA employees, reports that in addition to the previously admitted extramarital affair, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has another extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice president of healthcare. Powell reports directly to Huang, and both are married. According to insiders, the pair were photographed behaving intimately at a hotel in San Jose, California during NVIDIA’s GTC Developer Conference in March this year. Someone captured the footage on a mobile phone; Huang’s security team subsequently isolated the photographer and required them to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The New York Times said it has not seen the video. The relationship had previously been discussed internally at the company. Powell was scheduled to speak at the opening of the Milken Institute’s Global Conference for Health in Washington on the morning of November 12. Meg Tirrell, a CNN journalist set to moderate the session, confirmed Powell had canceled her attendance without specifying a reason. When a New York Times reporter reached Huang via phone, he responded, “I don’t think you should talk to me directly,” before hanging up. This marks the second extramarital affair scandal to surface around Huang in a week. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports that NVIDIA’s board of directors is preparing to oust Huang, with a special meeting to discuss his position scheduled as early as local time November 11. Following the news, NVIDIA’s stock plunged roughly 9% in after-hours trading. Since Huang’s first extramarital affair with Alice Huang was exposed, the company’s stock has fallen 18% across the two scandals (calculated based on after-hours declines), leading to an approximate $820 billion erosion in NVIDIA’s market capitalization.

Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports that as the longest-serving Federal Reserve policymaker approaches retirement, the Fed is discussing term limit rules for regional Federal Reserve bank presidents. The focus is on whether John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, can serve until June 2028, marking 10 years in his role, or must step down in June 2027 when he turns 65. According to relevant rules, regional Fed presidents generally must retire at 65; however, those first appointed after age 55 may serve until either completing 10 years in the role or reaching age 75, whichever comes first, as decided by the regional bank’s board. One point of contention is whether Williams’ tenure as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco from 2011 to 2018 counts toward the 10-year term. Williams and several observers had previously interpreted the rules as allowing him to serve until June 2028. He told Bloomberg last month that he plans to stay in the role until that time, calling it a commitment to the New York Fed’s board and his family. If Williams departs in 2027, Fed governor Kevin Warsh would have the opportunity to influence the appointment of this key regional Fed leader one year in advance. The people familiar with the matter said it remains unclear whether Warsh or other board officials support ending his tenure early; requiring Williams to step down prematurely could trigger opposition from other regional Fed presidents, who fear further Washington interference in the operations of regional Fed banks. A spokesperson for the Federal Reserve Board and Pat Wang, chair of the New York Fed’s board of directors, both declined to comment. The New York Fed’s board has not officially launched a successor selection process, which typically takes several months.

According to The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter, Nvidia’s board of directors is preparing to oust the company’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang. The board may hold a meeting as early as today (local time 11th) to decide the fate of CEO Huang, who has faced scrutiny over two extramarital affair allegations. Earlier, The New York Times revealed that Huang also had an extramarital relationship with an Nvidia executive who reported directly to him. Data from the BIT Stock Platform shows that, likely due to the news, Nvidia (NVDA.O) dropped as much as 9% in US after-hours trading.
