The Bitcoin ecosystem USDT issuer Utexo announced the early access to Utexo Mint, aimed at professional operators ready to support and provide USDT on Bitcoin, with the public launch scheduled for November 28. Utexo stated that existing partners are preparing for the launch, and it is currently open for access to exchanges, wallets, market makers, OTC desks, trading companies, and other professional operators interested in supporting USDT on Bitcoin.Utexo Mint is a dedicated platform for verified operators to mint and redeem USDT on Bitcoin. In the sandbox environment, operators can test the operation of USDT based on RGB, including minting, confidential transfers, and redemptions, to validate transaction processes and complete integration before the launch. Utexo will also provide tools for managing USDT liquidity across supported networks and for fiat to USDT exchanges. Utexo Mint is not owned or operated by Tether, and USDT on Bitcoin is supported by USDT through Tether's USDT0 protocol.USDT was first launched on Bitcoin in 2014, and this return will bring stablecoin liquidity to the ecosystem and expand scenarios such as trading and BTC collateralized lending. Utexo stated that USDT on Bitcoin is launched by Utexo rather than Tether, designed with privacy features, and USDT on RGB avoids address reuse. In terms of compliance, Utexo claims it will monitor all sourced USDT, check AML scores, and monitor RGB-side risks, while collaborating with Crystal Intelligence for AML efforts. The launch will occur in two phases: on November 28, USDT will be publicly available on the Bitcoin network through RGB, accessible via partner wallets and exchanges; the second phase is planned for the first quarter of 2027 to expand USDT to the Lightning Network for payments.

According to a post by Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, on the X platform, the continuous recovery of Bitcoin's hash rate is an "indirect bullish signal" from institutional investors. He pointed out that a higher hash rate means stronger security and better value storage fundamentals, and most publicly listed mining companies are supported by traditional financial institutions (TradFi). Therefore, the rise in hash rate can be seen as institutional recognition of Bitcoin's security and long-term value. Hash rate is an indicator of the computational power of a blockchain network, representing the number of hash calculations that can be completed per second.CryptoQuant data shows that Bitcoin's hash rate has rebounded by about 45% from its summer low, rising from approximately 726 EH/s in July to about 1,050 EH/s on Wednesday. However, the global hash rate is still below the peak of 1,305 EH/s set in October 2025, when Bitcoin's price was above $111,000. On Thursday, when the U.S. stock market opened, Bitcoin's price was approximately $81,843.Publicly listed mining companies are still expanding their production capacity. Nasdaq-listed NIP Group (NIPG) announced a third batch of asset purchase agreements, which will acquire approximately 4.47 EH/s of deployed Bitcoin mining machines. After the transaction is completed, the total hash rate from the three batches is expected to reach 13.85 EH/s. The company currently ranks 16th among publicly listed mining companies with an operational hash rate of 3.11 EH/s, while Bitdeer leads with 79.9 EH/s. On Wednesday, NIPG's stock price fell 6.8% to $6.1, down 86% over the past year; affected by higher-than-expected inflation data, U.S. stocks experienced the most severe sell-off since July, with TeraWulf, Core Scientific, Cipher Mining, and IREN all seeing stock prices drop by about 12%.

According to a report by Cointelegraph, DWF Labs pointed out in a research report released on Thursday that the daily capital flow of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF is difficult to predict for Bitcoin's subsequent trends, with investors more inclined to buy after price increases and withdraw during declines.The study covers 694 trading days since the launch of the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF in January 2024: in 8 instances where the Bitcoin price fell by 15%, there were net outflows of ETF funds in 7 of those cases; while in all 9 instances where the price rose by 15%, there were net inflows of funds.DWF Labs concluded that ETF capital flows are more about confirming market trends rather than predicting them in advance. Data shows that the correlation coefficient of the day's ETF capital flow with the price changes of Bitcoin over the previous 5 trading days is 0.54, but the correlation coefficient with the price changes over the subsequent 5 trading days is only 0.03. From October 2025 to February 2026, the net outflow from Bitcoin ETFs was approximately $6.9 billion, and during the market decline from May to June 2026, the net outflow was about $8.2 billion.DWF Labs also noted that some ETF trades may involve buying fund shares while simultaneously shorting Bitcoin through futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) as a hedging strategy, so the capital flow does not directly reflect investors' true bullish or bearish positions.

Zipcoin announced that it has ceased operations, stating that the project’s code repository and related keys have been fully compromised, and attackers may control the project’s wallets and infrastructure. The team indicated that they attempted to migrate the code and rotate credentials in the past 12 hours but failed to find a viable security solution.Zipcoin also disclosed that the project was affected by the UNCX incident on October 15, where hackers stole approximately 1.1% of the supply of multiple Ethereum tokens, including ZC, PAAL, and EDGEN, and sold them on the open market. The team subsequently attempted to buy back tokens from the market to compensate for the token shortfall corresponding to future team commitments.

CoinDCX released further clarification regarding the on-chain activities of the TQKJQ wallet, stating that after the security incident in July 2025, the affected wallet addresses have been deactivated, but some users are still depositing funds to the old addresses. The platform's original periodic fund collection process was ineffective for a period of time, and the related issues were discovered this morning, resulting in some operational losses, which will be borne by CoinDCX.CoinDCX stated that despite some users depositing funds to the deactivated addresses, the relevant user accounts have still received the corresponding credits. The platform claims that customer assets continue to be stored in independent cold wallets, and the currently active wallets and user addresses have not been affected, with the platform's trading operations running normally. CoinDCX also reminds users to verify the latest deposit addresses only through the official app or website to avoid transferring funds to deactivated addresses.Previously, on-chain detective ZachXBT had questioned why the deposit address TQKJQ was still in use for about 10 months after the security incident, with approximately $15.8 million of user deposits unaccounted for.

According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase's European policy director Katie Harries wrote that the proposed cryptocurrency asset regulatory rules by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) may require regulated platforms to execute customer orders only on trading venues authorized by the FCA, thereby restricting users' access to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols through compliant platforms.Since decentralized protocols typically do not have entities that can apply for regulatory authorization, the relevant rules may lead to regulated platforms being unable to provide DeFi access services, effectively creating a ban. The related cryptocurrency regulatory system is expected to be implemented starting October 25, 2027.

According to Bloomberg, the Central Bank of Ireland has fined Coinbase's Irish subsidiary €3.25 million (approximately $3.6 million) due to deficiencies in its outsourcing governance framework and inadequate customer fund protection measures.Regulators pointed out that the company relied too heavily on the U.S. Coinbase Group to execute customer fund protection processes, and design flaws in the system along with insufficient control testing led to a long-term shortfall in the designated customer fund protection accounts.A Coinbase spokesperson stated that the relevant issues mainly occurred during the U.S. banking crisis in 2023, when the company directed customers to deposit funds into other bank accounts of Coinbase to mitigate potential losses from bank failures. However, this practice resulted in the mixing of customer funds with those held by other entities of Coinbase, which did not comply with regulatory requirements.Last year, the Central Bank of Ireland also fined Coinbase Europe €21.5 million for violating anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing transaction monitoring obligations (which included a 30% settlement discount).

According to Malaysian media reports, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that the government must return a total of 497.82 bitcoins to 9 victims of an investment scam. Based on the 2023 valuation, this batch of bitcoins is worth approximately 17.6 million USD.The court found that between 2015 and 2016, the 9 victims were deceived by Fadino Khairuman and Asyran Ismail, depositing a total of 362.04 bitcoins into the Bitkingdom wallet, with the promise of a daily 1% investment return. The relevant bitcoins were subsequently transferred to the wallets of the two individuals and were ultimately seized by law enforcement.The judge pointed out that the bitcoins involved underwent multiple transactions and transfers, involving a layered processing of funds, but the victims did not lend bitcoins to the defendants; rather, they lost their assets due to fraud, thus holding legitimate rights to the seized assets. The court ruled that the 497.82 bitcoins should be distributed according to the proportion of each victim's initial investment, with each person receiving between 0.68% to 11.7% of the total amount.

Beating AI news reports that Wen Shilei, the head of ByteDance's commercialization GenAI R&D, has recently left the company, with his next stop likely being the embodied intelligence company Octopus Power, where he will serve as a partner.
