[XRPL lending bug fix set for Oct. 23 pending continued validator support]

A bug-fix patch for the XRP Ledger, fixCleanup3_4_0, is expected to take effect around 9:34 a.m. UTC on Oct. 23 after securing support from 29 validators, CoinDesk reported. Because that backing only meets the minimum threshold, the countdown would restart if even one validator withdraws support.

The patch includes a fix tied to XRPL’s lending feature, which Ripple has been pursuing for banks and payments firms. Even if the patch is implemented as scheduled, that would not amount to final approval for the launch of the lending system. Under XRPL’s governance process, changes must win support from 29 of the network’s 35 default trusted validators, or more than 80%, and maintain that level of backing for two straight weeks to be approved.

[South Korea watchdog chief says crypto scam pace outstrips current oversight]

Lee Chan-jin, governor of South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service, said current supervisory capabilities are struggling to keep up with the speed of on-chain fraud involving virtual assets, or digital assets, Digital Asset reported.

The remarks came after criticism over about 2.8 billion won ($2.0 million) in losses from a fake chain impersonating GIWA, a blockchain mainnet under development by Dunamu. During a National Policy Committee audit of the Financial Supervisory Service at the National Assembly in Seoul on Oct. 19, Democratic Party lawmaker Min Byoung-dug said Lee was unaware of the incident. Min added the regulator also did not know the scale of the losses and said its oversight capacity for the digital-asset market needs to be strengthened.

Min argued the regulator should secure dedicated blockchain forensics personnel and establish supervisory standards for large exchanges and blockchain networks.

[93% of South Korea crypto industry survey respondents call for tax delay]

More than nine in 10 people surveyed across South Korea’s digital-asset industry and expert community said cryptocurrency taxation set for next year should be delayed, citing difficulty obtaining transaction data from overseas exchanges and personal wallets as well as unclear tax standards for new transaction types such as staking and airdrops, the Seoul Economic Daily reported.

In an emergency survey of 30 people conducted by the Seoul Economic Daily, including officials at major domestic cryptocurrency exchanges, custody firms, blockchain infrastructure companies, and academic and legal experts, 93.3% or 28 respondents said implementation should be postponed until next year. Of those, 70% said they strongly supported a delay and 23.3% said they supported one. Only one respondent opposed a postponement.

Asked whether South Korea’s National Tax Service could accurately identify and tax transactions on overseas exchanges and in personal wallets, 86.7% answered negatively, while just 6.7% gave a positive assessment. Respondents also cited the introduction of loss carryforward deductions as a key area for improvement, according to the report.

[Zcash developers seek stronger ZEC swap privacy against future quantum threats]

The Zakura development team, which builds software based on Zcash, is pursuing a way to strengthen the privacy of ZEC transactions made through the cross-chain swap service NEAR Intents, CoinDesk reported. The team aims to assign a separate viewing key to each swap to reduce the risk that transaction records could be exposed by attacks from future quantum computers.

At present, when users swap privacy-protected ZEC for USDC through NEAR Intents, the user’s Zcash address is disclosed on NEAR’s public blockchain so unused ZEC can be refunded. Even if a transaction is completed normally and no refund is needed, the address remains publicly visible.

While deriving a private key from a public address is difficult with conventional computers, a sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could theoretically attack the related cryptographic system. Under Zakura’s proposal, each swap would use a separate viewing key, while the key with authority to spend funds would remain in the user’s primary account. That would limit any transaction history visible to an attacker, even if the key for a specific refund address were exposed, to information related only to that swap.

[Bybit says it recouped full $1.5B hacking loss by late last year]

Bybit had fully recouped about $1.5 billion in losses from a North Korean hacking attack by late last year through operating revenue such as trading fees, CEO Ben Zhou said in an interview with Colin Wu, the operator of crypto media outlet WuBlockchain, BlockBeats reported.

Zhou said exchanges hit by hacks would continue to emerge and stressed security systems should be designed on the assumption they will be breached. On industry competition, Zhou said the period of rapid expansion by global exchanges has passed, and while consolidation among exchanges is likely ahead, exchanges with local licenses, operational capabilities and a focus on specific regions still have room to grow. Zhou added Bybit's profit this year has fallen from a year earlier, and its traditional asset trading business, including stocks, is still not enough to offset weakness in its crypto business. Zhou also said Bybit is waiting for an opportunity to enter the U.S. market, prefers working with institutions that already have a local retail investor base, and plans to focus over the next year on regional business expansion and localization, according to BlockBeats.

[Dunamu, Bithumb shares slide to yearly lows]

Shares of cryptocurrency exchanges have fallen to their lowest levels of the year, as weak trading activity, delays in establishing a legal framework and lingering uncertainty over crypto taxation cool investor interest, Bizwatch reported.

According to Naver Pay Unlisted, shares of Dunamu, the operator of South Korean exchange Upbit, traded at 236,000 won ($171) on Oct. 16. Dunamu’s stock had climbed to 370,000 won when it announced a share swap with Naver Financial in November last year, but has since declined steadily to its lowest level this year.

Bithumb’s share price has fallen about 57% over the past year. After trading near 350,000 won following its relisting after the spin-off of Bithumb Asset in November last year, the stock is now changing hands in the 140,000 won range.

[FSS chief says stronger crypto oversight framework under discussion with FIU]

Lee Chan-jin, governor of South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service, said authorities are working with the Financial Intelligence Unit to establish a stronger virtual asset oversight framework after a series of internal control failures at major virtual asset service providers, including Bithumb, according to Newsis.

Speaking at a National Assembly audit on Oct. 19, Lee made the remarks in response to Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Kang-il’s criticism that oversight of virtual assets is split among the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service, the Financial Intelligence Unit and the Bank of Korea. Lee said an enhanced supervisory framework is reflected in the government’s draft of the Framework Act on Digital Assets, the second phase of legislation, although it has not yet been announced. Lee also said coordination with the FIU has already been strengthened and discussions on building a new oversight system are nearly complete.

[Justin Sun says Hyperliquid growth hinges on U.S. regulatory direction]

Tron founder Justin Sun described Hyperliquid (HYPE) as one of the most notable projects to emerge in the current market cycle, Odaily reported. Sun said Hyperliquid opened new possibilities for the industry through U.S. equity perpetual futures, adding that if U.S. regulators allow the platform a regulatory exemption similar to Uniswap’s, many centralized exchanges could shift to a decentralized exchange model. He added that tighter regulation would put Hyperliquid under significant pressure.

Sun also said Hyperliquid still lags locally compliant firms such as Circle in its regulatory response and operational capabilities in the U.S.

[Coinone to delist GALA on Nov. 19]

South Korean exchange Coinone announced the delisting of GALA at 6:00 a.m. UTC on Nov. 19.

The exchange said GALA had been placed on a delisting watchlist after a security incident, including an unexplained or unresolved hack, occurred on Aug. 18 involving a virtual-asset wallet managed by the issuer or operator, or a distributed ledger where the asset is issued, transferred or stored, and after it was confirmed that material information that could significantly affect users’ reasonable investment decisions or the asset’s value had not been disclosed in a timely manner. Coinone added it had not identified sufficient evidence to conclude the reasons for the delisting watchlist designation had been resolved.

[XRP held on exchanges rises to 11.81 billion, among top 1% over past year]

XRP holdings on cryptocurrency exchanges rose to about 11.81 billion tokens, placing them in the top 1% of levels seen over the past year, CoinGape reported. According to CryptoQuant data, sellable XRP supply has been building on exchanges, while Binance XRP futures open interest fell about 15.8% from earlier this month. Over the same period, forced liquidations of long positions also surged.

On-chain analyst CryptoOnchain said on X, "선물시장의 레버리지는 해소됐지만 거래소 물량은 그만큼 줄지 않았다" Media outlet explained that while leveraged traders have been pushed out of the market, XRP sent to exchanges still remains there. It added that higher exchange balances do not necessarily signal selling, but price volatility could increase if actual sell orders rise. Over the next five to 10 trading days, the direction of net XRP flows into and out of exchanges will be important, according to the report. If exchange balances keep falling while spot ETF net inflows and on-chain activity are maintained, the assessment of short-term risk could change. Meanwhile, cumulative net inflows into spot XRP ETFs stand at about $1.8 billion, although recent daily net inflows have slowed.

[Bitcoin futures OI declines, signaling weaker speculative demand]

Open interest in the Bitcoin futures market has been trending lower, suggesting speculative trading demand is easing, according to an AMBCrypto analysis.

The outlet said the seven-day moving average of Bitcoin futures open interest recently fell below the 365-day moving average, marking the second such instance since Aug. 25. It said the shift suggests bullish sentiment that had gained traction in the derivatives market in early September is weakening again. The outlet added that spot Bitcoin ETFs posted net outflows for a second straight week, indicating spot demand has also turned lower. ETF outflows, however, narrowed to $228.4 billion from $678.9 billion a week earlier. AMBCrypto said a sustainable Bitcoin rebound would require ETF inflows, improved spot demand and a continued accumulation trend among investors.
