[FT: China halted Solana event over PBOC rule violation finding]

China’s central bank judged Solana’s promotional activity in China to be in violation of regulations and halted the offline "Solana Accelerate China 2026" event just before it was due to begin, the Financial Times reported.

A People’s Bank of China official said SOL is inherently a cryptocurrency and Solana also provides technical services for the issuance and trading of assets such as USDT. Under regulations issued by eight government bodies in February, the official said, promoting Solana constitutes a rules violation. Authorities plan to step up enforcement against cryptocurrency trading firms in China and China-linked organizations affiliated with overseas platforms. CoinNess previously reported that police were dispatched to a Solana Foundation event in Shanghai in October and the event was abruptly suspended.

[SEAL says Binance hackers likely had system access 8 weeks before breach]

North Korean-linked hacking group TraderTraitor likely obtained access to Binance’s systems eight weeks before the hack, according to a Cointelegraph report citing nonprofit cybersecurity group Security Alliance (SEAL).

It added that similar patterns were seen in past hacks involving Bitget, KelpDAO and AFX, where access had been secured three to six weeks in advance.

Binance had previously disclosed that an employee device was infected through a fake job interview, leading to the theft of wallet infrastructure credentials. North Korea has denied carrying out the hack.
