Four more issuers object to OKXICE’s tokenized stock plans, bringing the total to 26
IBM, Oracle, Intel and IonQ join earlier objectors including Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, Broadcom and CoreWeave. The total was 22 in an October 23 disclosure. OKXICE, a venture of OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, plans 24/7 trading of tokenized U.S. stocks. Under the SEC’s September 17 innovation exemption, issuers have 30 calendar days after notice to object in writing, and an objection blocks that company’s shares from the venue. crypto.news could not independently confirm the latest revised register and did not report the reasons for the new objections.

Google previews key-splitting crypto custody for banks
Google has shown Multi-Party Compute, a custody system that splits signing keys across separate systems, so the full key is never assembled in one place. Institutions can set thresholds such as 2-of-3 or 5-of-7. A policy engine inside Google's Confidential Space checks transfers against limits, destinations and approval rules.
The product is in private preview with several banks. Alphabet says it also uses it for its own assets. Commercial availability is planned for early 2027, and pricing has not been disclosed. It will compete with Fireblocks, Fordefi and BitGo.

Binance attacker still holds ~$3.21B that issuers cannot freeze
Elliptic has verified $2.85B frozen or seized, about 44% of the $6.43B stolen from Binance, mostly USDT and USDC. The rest sits in assets such as ETH, BTC, XRP and TRX, which no issuer can block.
Elliptic thinks much of the laundering is automated: one wallet made 546 TRX transfers with a median gap of 96 seconds, with randomised amounts and templated wallets. It expects the funds to be laundered over months, as with Bybit. The firm assesses North Korea's TraderTraitor as likely responsible, though no government has confirmed it.

Binance reopens withdrawals in phases, Bitcoin first
Binance says phase one of withdrawals is live, starting with the Bitcoin network. Assets and networks are prioritized by user demand over the past week and checked for stability and security before each reopens. CBS also lists BNB, XRP, DOGE, Base and Optimism as restored as of 5 a.m. ET.
Binance says it has replenished 90% of the stolen assets, up from 80% a day earlier. Users should expect congestion and longer processing times. Further assets will be restored in phases, with updates on Binance's official X account.

Ripple releases 1B XRP from escrow
Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP from escrow on November 1, in two transactions of 500 million each. Trackers describe it as the routine monthly release.
No re-lock had been confirmed as of 10:50 UTC. Ripple re-locked 700 million XRP in both September and October, so a similar re-lock would cut the net addition to circulation to 300 million, but that is unconfirmed until the EscrowCreate transactions appear on the ledger. XRP traded near $1.25, roughly flat over 24 hours and about 18.5% lower over the past month.

Strategy starts daily dividends on STRC on November 2
Strategy shareholders approved paying daily dividends on its preferred stock, with preliminary results showing 99.3% of votes cast in favor, per the company's 8-K of Oct 28. STRC switches first: the record date starts Nov 1 and the first daily dividend is paid Nov 2. STRF, STRK and STRD follow from Jan 1, 2027, with first payments on Jan 4.
The change affects how often dividends are paid, not the rate or total payout. The board declared 12.00% annual for STRC for November, about $1.00 per share for the month. STRC trades near its $100 stated value, at $99.85 after the vote. The change takes effect only once the amended certificates of designation are filed and become effective.

Binance sees $4.65B withdrawn on the first day of reopening
Binance restarted customer withdrawals on Nov 1 at 06:00 UTC, starting with Bitcoin and expanding to 15 networks. Between 06:00 and 15:30 UTC about $4.65B was withdrawn against about $1.01B in deposits, a net outflow near $3.64B, or about 2.1% of the $171B in assets in Binance's late-October proof of reserves, per Bitcoin Magazine.
Binance says 95% of the impacted amount is now covered, up from 90% a day earlier. The rest sits in less liquid tokens that it is sourcing through partners and OTC desks, and it has committed to cover the full amount. A proof-of-reserves snapshot dated Oct 31 is out, with another covering more tokens planned for Nov 4. Tether reports about $1.57B USDT frozen and Circle more than $800M USDC. No full post-mortem has been published.

50 public companies have objected to tokenized trading of their shares on OKXICE
OKXICE is the joint venture of OKX and ICE, the owner of NYSE. It plans to list tokenized US stocks on a 24/7 venue under the SEC's innovation exemption, and issuers have 30 days to object. According to OKXICE's October 30 notice, 50 companies have done so, including Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, JPMorgan, Nike and Costco. On October 26 there were 26. The original list had 62 companies, and some objectors were not on it. None of them gave a reason. Under the SEC order, a timely objection bars third-party tokens of that company's shares from trading there.

Zcash is targeting around Nov 5 for the NU7 upgrade, which cuts block time from 75 to 25 seconds
The change should make transactions confirm about three times faster. The reward per block is divided by roughly three, so the amount of new ZEC issued per unit of time stays the same. Developers named block 3,543,405 as the activation target. It is still a proposal: as of Oct 21 the upgrade's ZIPs were drafts and the project page said the height was not set. NU7 is not supported by zcashd, so node operators need Zebra.

Zcash is fighting over the 8% of new coins that fund its grants program
Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) receives 8% of every block reward, about 144 ZEC a day. On Oct 26 co-founder Sean Bowe proposed turning that stream off, arguing the program was never designed for this much funding. On Oct 30 he and Zooko Wilcox backed a joint draft: end the 8% share in an upgrade after NU7 and send it to a frozen fund, and have ZCG move 50,000 ZEC to the Network Sustainability Mechanism. ZCG proposed its own plan instead, a taper of about 3% a month until the 2032 halving. Both are drafts, with no vote date.

Kenya's grace period for crypto firms ends on Nov 4
Kenya's Virtual Asset Service Providers Act took effect on Nov 4, 2025 and gave existing operators twelve months to get licensed. The Central Bank of Kenya supervises issuance and custodial services, and the Capital Markets Authority supervises exchanges, brokers and trading platforms. Foreign platforms that target Kenyan users are covered too. Dawan Africa reports fines of up to 10 million shillings or five years in jail for individuals and up to 25 million shillings for companies, and says public lists showed almost no approved platforms by the end of October. Holding and trading crypto for yourself remains legal.

Binance says withdrawals are back to normal, but net outflows since reopening are $5.28B
According to Binance's own chart, between Nov 1 06:00 UTC and Nov 3 04:00 UTC customers withdrew $10.97B and deposited $5.70B, a net outflow of about $5.28B, around 3.1% of the $171B in assets previously reported. By 03:00 UTC on Nov 3, hourly deposits began to exceed withdrawals. Co-CEO Richard Teng said flows have "largely returned to normal." Binance says it has replenished about 95% of the roughly $6.3B stolen. Reuters counted about $4.72B net by Monday, over a different window. The Oct 31 proof-of-reserves snapshot predates these outflows, and the next one is planned for Nov 4.

Binance publishes a zero-knowledge proof of reserves for 10 tokens, with limits
Binance announced the completed proof on Nov 2. It covers a snapshot taken at 00:00 UTC on Oct 31 for BNB, BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ZEC, USDT, USDC, USD1 and RLUSD. A zk-SNARK shows that reserves cover what users are owed without revealing individual balances, and customers can check their own balance with an open-source verifier that Binance says was independently audited, though the auditor is not named. The proof covers only these tokens and this one snapshot, so it predates the net outflows after reopening, and it is not a full financial audit. A new snapshot with more tokens is planned for Nov 4.

Ripple gets final OCC approval for a national trust bank
On Oct 26 the OCC gave final approval to Ripple National Trust Bank, after conditional approval in December 2025. The bank is authorized to manage the segregated reserves behind RLUSD, act as collateral trustee for RLUSD holders and provide fiduciary digital asset custody. National trust charters do not allow deposit-taking or lending, The Block notes. RLUSD is still issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, a New York DFS-regulated trust company, so federal OCC supervision is added on top of state oversight. RLUSD's market cap is $2.5B, per Ripple.
