Digital hardware wallet manufacturer NGRAVE disclosed that attackers hijacked the third-party notification service used by its LIQUID companion app and sent false security alerts to users, resulting in approximately 70 wallet addresses being stolen across 4 blockchains, amounting to about 2.56 million dollars. Among these, the loss in Bitcoin was approximately 1.77 million dollars, XRP about 454,000 dollars, Ethereum assets about 316,000 dollars, and Stellar about 18,000 dollars.The attackers induced users to click on a counterfeit website and enter their 24-word recovery phrase or Perfect Key, subsequently using automated scripts to transfer assets within minutes. NGRAVE stated that the ZERO hardware wallet and private keys were not directly compromised; the victims voluntarily provided their recovery credentials during the phishing process. Unauthorized access may have begun on October 11. After obtaining an access key, the attackers acquired a broader access key and sent false notifications on October 17; NGRAVE detected anomalies about 1 minute after the notifications appeared, but the first wallet was emptied 6 minutes later, and the notification system was shut down that evening.NGRAVE's CEO stated that the company failed to fulfill the most basic security responsibilities of a cryptocurrency security firm and mentioned that affected keys have been replaced, with new dual approval, domain restrictions, and emergency shutdown mechanisms implemented. The company also reminded affected users to create new wallets and contact the support team, as some device information, wallet activity, IP addresses, and approximate locations may have been exposed.

The asset management company Bitwise Asset Management and the Hyperliquid Policy Center submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requesting modifications to the proposed cryptocurrency rules to clarify token classification, airdrops, and secondary market trading rules. The SEC's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets would establish exemptions for eligible cryptocurrency financing and provide a conditional safe harbor for tokens related to investment contracts.Bitwise requested clarification on the standards for investment managers to determine whether tokens are subject to securities laws. The Hyperliquid Policy Center called for an expansion of the safe harbor scope and clarification of the rules for airdrops and token buybacks that reward network participants. The organization also requested that the SEC clarify whether unregistered intermediaries can facilitate token trading and whether tokens can be freely traded through on-chain protocols. Former SEC enforcement official John Reed Stark and Duke University finance scholar Lee Reiners called for the proposal to be withdrawn, arguing that it exceeds the SEC's statutory authority and undermines investor protection. The SEC will decide to amend, adopt, or withdraw the rules after the public comment period ends, and the final rules must be voted on by the commission before taking effect.

CrossBorder Capital CEO Michael Howell stated in a video interview with Bitcoin Magazine that global liquidity is the core factor driving the market, and in an environment of currency devaluation, Bitcoin is rising as a top liquidity asset. He described Bitcoin as "the most liquidity-sensitive asset on Earth" and suggested that investors allocate both gold and Bitcoin.Howell recommended building a volatility-weighted asset portfolio, where the proportion of Bitcoin will gradually increase as its institutional adoption rises, potentially reaching a ratio where gold and Bitcoin each account for half. He also pointed out that $70,000 is a key support level for Bitcoin.Regarding the macro environment, Howell believes that amid a peak in debt maturities and a trend of fiscal monetization, governments will continue to print money on a large scale, shifting from Federal Reserve quantitative easing to Treasury quantitative easing, with the U.S. monetizing its own debt. He also mentioned that the Federal Reserve, led by Kevin Warsh, may avoid a significant decline in liquidity, which could become the next catalyst for Bitcoin.
