[U.S. man gets 32 months for demanding 20 BTC after sabotaging company network]

A U.S. court has sentenced a Missouri man to 32 months in prison after he damaged a company computer network and demanded Bitcoin ransom from employees, according to Daily Hodl.

Daniel Rhyne, a Missouri resident, hacked the computer network of a New Jersey industrial company in 2023 while working there as a core infrastructure engineer, deleted a network administrator account, and threatened to keep shutting down servers unless employees paid around 20 BTC, worth about $750,000 at the time, the report said. That amount is now worth about $1.667 million.

In April, Rhyne pleaded guilty to charges of threatening to damage a protected computer and intentionally causing damage to a protected computer.

[JPMorgan sees $50B in crypto inflows so far this year, stronger 4Q momentum]

JPMorgan estimates about $50 billion has flowed into the cryptocurrency market so far this year, with the annualized figure at roughly $66 billion, The Block reported, citing a report from a research team led by analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou.

That is up from the bank’s $52 billion estimate in May, but still only about half of last year’s annualized total. The report said corporate crypto purchases and VC fundraising were the main drivers in the first half, while ETF inflows and a rise in futures positions stood out in the third quarter. It added that participation by retail and institutional investors has expanded, helping build positive momentum for fourth-quarter fund flows.

JPMorgan typically estimates crypto market inflows by combining flows into crypto funds, flows in CME futures, crypto venture capital fundraising, and digital asset purchases by listed miners and companies.

[Glassnode says over 6M BTC have exposed public keys, equal to 31.2% of supply]

More than 6 million BTC are held at addresses whose public keys have already been exposed on-chain, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode. CoinDesk reported the figure is equal to 31.2% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply.

Glassnode co-founder Rafael Schultze-Kraft said the amount of BTC with exposed public keys has increased by 222,000 BTC, or about $18.2 billion, since a report released in May. Over the same period, total Bitcoin supply increased by only about 64,000 BTC, while about 1.79 million BTC held by exchanges are currently estimated to have exposed public keys.

The analysis found no government-held Bitcoin in the U.S., UK, or El Salvador under this methodology to have exposed public keys. The report explained that public-key exposure does not immediately mean a wallet is at risk of being hacked, and the data measures whether public keys have been exposed based on how addresses are used. It added that no successful AI- or quantum-computing attacks on Bitcoin or Ethereum wallet cryptographic keys have been confirmed so far.

[Citrini Research says tokenization could produce winners bigger than BTC and ETH]

Wall Street tokenization could open a major new market for crypto, with some companies and projects potentially benefiting more than Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to a Citrini Research report cited by CoinDesk.

Citrini Research said moving traditional financial assets such as stocks and bonds onto blockchains would create new business opportunities in trading, lending and payments. The firm added the structural flexibility of tokenization could create new markets for trading platforms, lenders, stablecoin issuers and companies that manage securities ownership records. It said the biggest beneficiaries are likely to be companies and crypto protocols that generate recurring fees as tokenized assets are traded, lent and used for payments.

The report named Securitize, Coinbase, Robinhood and Circle as companies that could benefit if Wall Street financial assets move on-chain. It also cited Figure, SoFi and Bullish as candidates to gain from broader tokenization. Among crypto tokens, it highlighted Aerodrome, Maple, Ondo, Pendle and Derive.

[Cyber Capital founder calls XRP Ledger decentralization claims a blatant fraud]

Cyber Capital founder Justin Bons has questioned the decentralized structure of the XRP Ledger, U.Today reported.

Bons said XRPL had operated for about two weeks without publicly releasing security-related source code, and the update is set to become effectively mandatory starting today. XRP Ledger developers have said they will release the source code for security-sensitive changes later. Bons also argued the recommended validator list, or UNL, provided by Ripple and others exerts excessive influence over network consensus, adding that selling XRP as a decentralized asset is a blatant fraud.

[AI super PAC mimics crypto playbook, but gains remain limited]

The U.S. AI industry has copied the crypto sector’s political fundraising strategy, but the results have fallen short of expectations, according to a Crypto Briefing analysis.

The AI industry super PAC Leading The Future has raised about $140 million and spent $55.7 million through late September. Still, it has delivered few signature wins, Crypto Briefing said, pointing to the defeat of a candidate who received more than $8 million in support in a New York state House primary in June. By contrast, crypto industry super PAC Fairshake is focused on backing candidates who support the CLARITY Act and has more than $120 million in cash ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections.

[21.5% of BTC supply has exposed public keys via address reuse: Glassnode]

A significant share of Bitcoin with exposed public keys stems from address reuse, and that amount is rising, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode. Over the past year, BTC held in reused addresses increased about 14.2% to 4.33 million from 3.79 million, equivalent to 21.5% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. Reusing Bitcoin addresses can increase the likelihood of public key exposure, potentially making those holdings more vulnerable to future quantum computer attacks.

[Bitcoin daily realized profit hits $1B, second-highest level this year]

Bitcoin holders posted about $1.03 billion in daily realized profit, the second-highest level this year and close to the annual peak of $1.04 billion, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment.

The jump came after BTC recently broke above $87,000, driving a sharp increase in profit-taking. Santiment said large-scale profit-taking often appears during short- and mid-term market correction phases and can increase selling pressure, but it does not necessarily signal a trend reversal.
