It does not have the limitations that characterize traditional platforms and game applications, he said.
Siu also noted that the Telegram messenger and the TON blockchain play a significant role in the development of the Web3 industry, as they have provided a platform that was previously absent from the market.
He added that Hamster Kombat's expansion potential will continue to grow even though companies such as Apple, Google and Steam have not allowed the game into their ecosystems.

Trading volumes in the HMSTR/USDT pair on the Binance exchange exceeded $200 million within the first three hours of trading 🍾
There were also deals worth $8.47 million in the FDUSD pair. Trading volume in the HMSTR/BNB pair totaled just $5105 in just over three hours, while for the Turkish lira the figure exceeded TRY 1.08 billion, which equates to $31.62 million.
High trading volumes usually indicate significant liquidity in the market and support for the asset from major players. In the case of HMSTR, this could mean that newbie investors see upside potential. Intensive trading volumes may indicate a strong interest in the token from both speculators and long-term investors❤️

In comments, users suggested that the “awakening” of bitcoin whales may be related to the intention of HBO to reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto in a new documentary to be released on October 9. Recall that in September, an unknown Satoshi Nakamoto-era miner moved 250 BTC worth $16 million after 15 years. In the same month, the wallet, which had been inactive for more than a decade, moved 35 BTC worth $2 million.
In August, analysts recorded whale transactions of 174 BTC and 190 BTC, both addresses also dormant for more than 10 years.

During today's trading, the price of Toncoin reached 4.92, which allowed the asset to take the 10th place in the ranking. 🏆
At the same time, it successfully surpassed such competitors as Cardano and Avalanche. Having started October quite successfully, Toncoin faced difficulties in growth in the second half of the month.

Currently, the asset's supply is valued at 2.45 and its market capitalization has exceeded 12.5 billion. It is reported that interest in Toncoin remains at a high level. According to CoinGecko, the total token value of the Toncoin ecosystem is approximately 14 billion.

The HYPE project took the top spot due to the significant amount of tokens given away to the community - 31% of the total supply. In contrast, STRK chose a more cautious approach, allocating only 7%. PENGU essentially found a compromise by giving away 25.9% of its digital assets, allowing it to both attract new users and retain a portion for future development.
Token allocation strategies continue to evolve. Airdrops are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and projects are using them for a variety of purposes. Some focus on long-term price appreciation, while others seek quick liquidity. The success of HYPE and STRK demonstrates that large giveaways can be a powerful tool for gaining market traction.

Solana came out on top in terms of app revenue, overtaking Ethereum. Protocol revenues on Solana have significantly surpassed Ethereum, with applications on the first network earning seven times more than their rivals during the last day. This data points to changing user preferences and increased activity in the Solana ecosystem.👀
Despite significant revenue growth over the past year, Ethereum has been unable to maintain its lead. Important contributions to app growth were made by projects such as Aave and Maker, which contributed to the stable development of the ecosystem due to their popularity and the use of smart contracts. However, this was not enough to compete with Solana.🥳
This blockchain network started showing steady revenue growth in 2024, and this trend continued into early 2025. The most pronounced spikes were seen in March, September and November last year. However, the biggest increase in activity occurred in January 2025 after the launch of the TRUMP meme token, which attracted significant attention from traders and users, providing a new impetus for the protocols' revenue growth.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has fallen victim to possibly the biggest hack in the history of digital currencies, with $1.46bn in Ethereum being withdrawn from hot wallets. CEO Ben Zhou confirmed the hack, saying that a hacker accessed a cold ETH wallet and transferred its contents to an unknown address. 💰
Suspicions arose after a massive transfer of 401,346 ETH (about $1.13bn) from Bybit's hot wallet. This event caused alarm in the market and the price of Ethereum fell by more than 4 per cent.
Zhou assured that the other cold wallets are safe and withdrawals are continuing as usual. The hack occurred due to the deception of wallet signers through a fake interface, which led to unknowingly approving changes to the smart contract, allowing the hacker to steal ETH. 🗣

North Korea's Lazarus Group injected malware into npm (package manager for the Node.js software platform) to get hold of developers' and crypto investors' data. This was reported by cybersecurity experts at Socket Security.💣
According to their findings, these malicious packages, which have already been downloaded more than 300 times, are designed to steal sensitive data from cryptocurrency wallets associated with Solana or Exodus. The program scans users' files in Chrome, Brave and Firefox browsers, as well as keychain data in macOS.
As Socket Security's experts found out, the packages they detected use a typo method, that is, misspellings of names.
Lazarus has previously used attacks via npm, GitHub and PyPI to infiltrate networks, leading to major exploits, such as the Bybit exchange. At that time, the attack was carried out through hacking into the computer of an employee of Safe, a technology provider for Bybit.💻

Kentucky's governor signed the “Bitcoin Bill of Rights,” protecting the right to self-store cryptocurrencies, manage nodes, and use digital assets. The law prohibits discrimination against miners, excludes mining from transfer licensing, and does not consider mining/staking to be a sale of securities. Oklahoma passed a similar law in May 2024. Kentucky is considering a state bitcoin reserve bill. Similar initiatives are being promoted in Oklahoma.📃

After the KiloEx hack, the hacker returned funds to the exchange's address after an ultimatum: 72 hours to return with a 10% reward. KiloEx threatened to freeze assets. 💵
Not waiting for a response, the exchange appealed to the Hong Kong police and SlowMist. KiloEx said it had passed the information to law enforcement.🚔
Although the hacker did not return 90%, the transaction offers hope for a refund. KiloEx has yet to confirm receipt and further negotiations. The exchange is restoring trading and preparing compensation for users, promising to settle positions at pre-attack prices, without liquidation.
Cyvers Alerts reported that the exploit was caused by a price oracle vulnerability that allowed ETH/USD prices to be manipulated.💲

Jay Jacobs: The freezing of Russian assets has spurred increased interest in bitcoin
According to Jacobs, political tensions around the world and growing uncertainty are accelerating asset diversification among central banks in different countries.🏦
Bitcoin shows a relatively low correlation with the U.S. stock market over the long term - in the current volatility, the first cryptocurrency behaves differently than stocks or bonds, a BlackRock spokesman said.
Bitcoin has proven “remarkably resilient” in the face of the trade war - compared to altcoins and indices like the S&P 500 - although it remains vulnerable to fears of a U.S. recession, the expert emphasized.💸

The number of documented cases of illegal connection to Malaysia's power grid for the sake of mining has increased from 610 in 2018 to 2,397 in 2024, TNB data showed. 📈
From January 2020 to December 2024, power company officials detected an average of more than 2,000 cases of electricity theft related to underground mining each year. During the same period, the average annual number of complaints about accidents caused by overloaded power lines due to illegal connection of mining equipment reached 1,699 - an average of 340 per month. ⚡️
Power officials said the rise in power theft cases was due to the fact that amid the popularity of cryptocurrencies, underground miners through fake or bypassed meters are trying to use government-subsidized electricity to mine cryptocurrencies. This is costing TNB hundreds of millions of Malaysian ringgit, the power utility complained.

One of the world's largest credit rating agencies has started working in blockchain. Moody's announced Wednesday that it is testing the first credit rating system on the Solana network. These ratings will be used to assess the risk of municipal bonds issued by local governments in U.S. cities.
Moody's will first evaluate the credit ratings off the blockchain and then publish them to Solana using an API. The agency will use Solana-based tokenization protocol Alphaledger to turn those scores into tokenized real assets.
Perhaps at the end of the testing, the agency will move credit scores to blockchain entirely to make them available to all investors. Right now, the data can only be seen through proprietary software or Bloomberg terminals.📃

In the last 24 hours, ACX, Across Protocol's own token, has fallen in price by more than 10%. Over the course of a month, it has fallen by 40%. Now ACX is trading 91% below its all-time high of $1.69, recorded in December 2024.📉
The reason for the sharp fall of ACX was serious accusations of insider trading by the project team to the tune of about $23 million. This was first reported by the founder of the Glue network and advisor to World Liberty Financial, known under the nickname Ogle.
In his social media post, he accused the Across Protocol team, in particular project manager Kevin Chan and CEO Hart Lambour, of organizing two secret offerings using undisclosed wallets of an undisclosed decentralized platform (DAO).👤
