Cobo's wallet shutdown fee takes 10% of a $1,000 balance at the first monthly charge

Cobo will close its consumer wallet app on Dec. 1 and charge 2% a month, minimum $100, on any assets still inside. Because $100 is 2% of a $5,000 balance, every smaller balance pays more than 2% a month.

Hilbert's CIO calls Bitcoin a buy on dips with spot 3% above the $80,000 support

Hilbert Group CIO Russell Thompson calls Bitcoin a buy on dips with the price near $82,400, inside an $82,000 to $87,000 band. The bearish moving-average crossover and the $78,000 options max-pain level he also cites both lean the other way.

More than half of bitcoin's $3,540 drop on Hormuz tanker reports came in 30 minutes

Bitcoin fell about $3,540 on Oct. 7 after reports of tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, $2,000 of it in 30 minutes, as ETH slid below $2,600. Liquidated leveraged longs set the pace, so whether prices hold once that forced selling clears will show how much of the move was about oil.

After a $23.75 million oracle-credential drain, Ostium rebuilds its trading stack around Gateway

Ostium is rebuilding its trading stack around Gateway, three months after an attacker holding legitimate oracle-signer credentials drained $23.75 million.

The same failure mode showed up twice in two days: Rain's Solana card contract, then Ajna's liquidation accounting. Avici's fix costs about $297 a user, and that number is now the floor its competitors get measured against.

Won buyers did 54% of the world's JPYC trades four days after the Upbit listing

Global turnover in Japan's yen stablecoin ran $64,571 the day before Upbit listed it and $32.49 million three days later. Korea's own stablecoin law is still stalled, so the token trades there as ordinary crypto.
