Executive scan
Today in crypto centered on the Binance theft aftermath: Tether said it froze more than $1.5 billion in USDT linked to the late-October attack, while FBI-linked coverage attributed the heist to North Korean TraderTraitor actors. Binance’s asset replacement process also remained in focus, with thinly traded tokens cited as a drag on full replenishment and withdrawals reopening progressively.
Market-structure coverage broadened beyond the breach. The CFTC cleared equity perpetual futures on registered U.S. exchanges, drawing a legal challenge from a Cboe-backed group over single-stock perps approvals. Tokenization stayed active as Bullish tapped Ethereum for issuer-sponsored tokenized shares, while CCIP’s split model won backing from Bitwise and Coinbase executives. Entity attention clustered around Bitcoin, Binance, Ethereum, Solana and Tether.
