[Early Ethereum address safely transfers $4.6M despite poisoning attack]

An address that received ETH in Ethereum’s 2015 genesis block safely transferred 2,154.94 ETH, worth about $4.6 million, despite an address poisoning attack, CoinDesk reported.

Address poisoning is a scam in which an attacker sends a small amount of funds from a fake address resembling a real counterparty so the record appears in a user’s transaction history, potentially tricking the user into copying it and sending funds to the wrong destination.

The wallet had never sent ETH out before, but at 10:04 p.m. UTC on Nov. 9 it made a 0.05 ETH test transfer to a new address. Immediately after the test transfer, attackers created two fake addresses with similar opening and ending characters to the real receiving address and repeatedly sent small amounts of ETH to the wallet. One of the fake addresses sent funds 43 times. The wallet owner, however, was not fooled and at 10:42 p.m. UTC on Nov. 9 successfully sent 2,154.94 ETH to the address first used in the test transfer.

[BlackRock says Bitcoin whale demand to switch into IBIT is at a record high]

Demand from Bitcoin whales to convert self-custodied BTC into shares of BlackRock’s spot ETF IBIT has reached a record high, Barron’s reported, citing Robbie Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock.

Mitchnick said about $3.6 billion worth of Bitcoin has been converted into IBIT shares since regulators approved in-kind creations and redemptions for BlackRock’s spot ETF. He added the actual conversion figure could be higher, as BlackRock does not handle every transaction directly. The demand has emerged regardless of Bitcoin price moves, with security concerns and peace of mind cited as the main drivers. Separately, BlackRock recently lowered the minimum transaction threshold for in-kind ETF share conversions to around $1 million-$2 million from about $30 million.

[Bitcoin wallets holding 1-100 BTC add 14,207 BTC over two weeks: Santiment]

Wallets holding one to 10 BTC and 10 to 100 BTC accumulated about 14,207 BTC over the past two weeks, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment. Santiment said buying by small- and mid-sized holders has continued despite Bitcoin’s price decline and worsening sentiment among retail investors.

Based on historical probabilities, Santiment said major investors who moved against the broader market have generally been profitable. At the same time, it said sentiment among smaller retail investors is nearing its limit, with the number of addresses holding over 0 BTC down by about 109,000 from Oct. 16. Ironically, Santiment added, past waves of retail capitulation have often preceded major market recoveries.

[Binance XRP funding rate hits 1-year high, signaling overheated futures market]

Crypto analyst Darkfost said on X that the 30-day cumulative funding rate for Binance XRP perpetual futures has risen to 0.18%, the highest level in more than a year. The last time it reached that level was in October 2025. Darkfost said extreme funding rates have often coincided with price tops or bottoms in the past. Although XRP has already undergone a 30% correction, bullish sentiment remains intact in Binance’s futures market. In XRP spot ETFs, 9.37 million XRP ($10.4 million) posted net outflows, pointing to a divergence from the derivatives market. Darkfost said cumulative funding rates and ETF fund flows should be considered together when assessing entry timing.

[ZetaChain token holders approve migration to Solana]

ZetaChain also plans to launch AI platform Zeta Labs the same day and is currently accepting users for a waitlist. The utility of the ZETA token includes lockups for premium services, payment discounts, and governance participation.

Zeta Labs will provide access to multiple AI models and real-time market data, along with encrypted chat and conversation memory features. ZetaChain plans to burn about 55 million ZETA by 2027 and does not plan to issue additional tokens after the Solana migration.

[Crypto gains accrued through end-2028 to remain tax-exempt if South Korea delays tax plan]

If the government’s proposal to delay cryptocurrency taxation by an additional two years passes the National Assembly, valuation gains accrued through the end of 2028 will be excluded from taxation even if the assets are sold after 2029.

According to material released on Nov. 10 by Bae, Kim & Lee LLC, cryptocurrencies acquired before the tax takes effect and held continuously will be recognized at the higher of their market value at the end of 2028 or their actual purchase price as the acquisition cost. That means there is no need to sell before the tax takes effect solely to realize unrealized gains.

Conversely, if the actual purchase price is higher than the market value at the end of 2028, gains and losses on a later sale will be calculated based on the actual purchase price, meaning price declines before the tax takes effect could be reflected as capital losses. The government said, however, that losses finalized through sales made before the tax takes effect will not be eligible for carryforward deductions.

A plan is being pursued to allow losses incurred after the tax takes effect to be deducted from gains in the next three tax years following the year the loss occurs. The basic deduction of 2.5 million won and the 22% tax rate, including local income tax, will remain unchanged. Overseas financial account reporting requirements and inheritance and gift taxes will continue to apply regardless of the delay.

[Waller backs 25bp December rate hike, leaves door open to 50bp]

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said he would support a 25-basis-point rate hike in December and would also back a 50-basis-point increase if needed.

Waller said the Fed would need further monetary tightening, with U.S. inflation still too high and September inflation data disappointing. Waller added that broad-based price pressures were particularly concerning, and said even if October CPI improves from September, it could still support a 25-basis-point rate hike in December. If October core CPI rises by around 0.3% or more, the Fed may need to deliver a 50-basis-point increase in December.

[ETH staking ratio rises to 36.3% of supply despite price decline]

Ethereum’s staking ratio has continued to rise even as ETH prices fall, crypto analyst Pelin Ay said on X.

Since May, the ETH staking ratio has risen about 4.32% to 36.32% of total supply, while the price has fallen from $2,800 to $2,132 since October, Ay said. Ay said the expanding share of staked ETH signals investor confidence remains intact. Staking inflows have fallen 40.11%, but a larger long-term staking pool could reduce the amount of ETH available for circulation in the market and support prices, although staked ETH can still be withdrawn and is not permanently removed from circulating supply.

[Maple Finance’s SYRUP falls as lending-related assets shrink]

SYRUP, the native token of DeFi lending protocol Maple Finance, has dropped around 50% as lending-related assets have declined, fueling concerns over the protocol’s liquidity and capital outflows, according to an analysis by The Defiant.

Maple Finance’s total value locked currently stands at $2.22 billion. Assets under management for syrupUSDC, a stablecoin-based yield product, were $2.36 billion, down from $2.68 billion recorded on Oct. 19. The decline in syrupUSDC indicates that capital allocated to lending and yield products within the Maple ecosystem is shrinking.

[Binance warns iOS flaw may expose seed phrases and private keys]

Binance warned a vulnerability known as worse_query, which affects iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1 and 27.2, could let malicious apps read local files from other apps and expose seed phrases, private keys and login credentials. Binance said the issue is not limited to its platform and stems from iOS itself.

The exchange recommended deleting apps installed from untrusted sources, including sideloaded apps or manually signed IPA files, and updating iOS and all apps to the latest official versions. If compromise is suspected, Binance advised users to move funds to a new wallet created on an uninfected device and reset all active login sessions.

[IMF urges Kenya to adopt crypto travel rule]

The International Monetary Fund has urged the Kenyan government to establish rules for virtual asset service providers to implement the crypto travel rule, Africa-based outlet Business Daily reported.
