Crypto rarely falls for one reason. Interest-rate signals, forced selling from leveraged bets, money leaving funds and plain risk-off days all push the market down, often at the same time. This guide explains the recurring causes and how to read which one is driving a given drop.
Across Protocol said attackers seized its across.to domain through a social engineering attack on registrar Namecheap, redirecting users to a phishing site. The team restored the domain a day later and promised to repay affected users.
One route hands you a fund share in a brokerage account. The other hands you the coin itself, and the job of keeping it safe. The gap between a Bitcoin ETF and owning bitcoin comes down to control, cost, and what happens if something goes wrong.
USD1 is a dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by BitGo for World Liberty Financial, the crypto firm tied to the Trump family. Here is how it works, what backs it, and the questions it still faces.
Solana Company reported net income of $105.2 million for the third quarter of 2026. Operating revenue was just $3.4 million. Almost all the profit was an unrealized gain on its SOL holdings, a mark that has shrunk since the token fell.
Scam tokens pull billions out of crypto wallets every year, and most of the traps are visible before you buy. Here are the five checks that catch a honeypot, a rug pull or a token one wallet can crash.
The total supply of dollar stablecoins fell $14.2 billion in 30 days through November 9, the fastest drop since mid-2022, according to Glassnode. Analysts read it as cash leaving crypto, with Bitcoin near a three-month low and less dry powder ready to buy.

Across says the attack was contained quickly, its contracts were never at risk, and every affected user will be made whole.
Our read: The contract claim holds up, since the attack hit the domain and not the code, and three outlets reported the same timeline. The compensation promise is still only a promise. Across has not confirmed a loss total, named the number of victims, or explained how refunds will be paid, and the post-mortem is pending.
USD1 is a fully backed, dollar-pegged stablecoin that lines up with incoming US stablecoin law.
Our read: Reserves are held by the custodian BitGo and the project publishes attestations and a proof-of-reserves dashboard, and the coin has held its $1 peg. But there is no full independent audit, NYDIG said the monthly attestations had fallen behind in October 2025, the GENIUS Act fit is contested, and much of the supply has come from a few large holders.
Solana Company calls the third quarter a milestone, pointing to $105.2 million in net income and sharp revenue growth.
Our read: Operating revenue did grow, to $3.4 million from $697,000, and the staking and validator business is real. But $102.7 million of the $105.2 million profit was an unrealized gain on SOL holdings, and that mark has fallen with the token since 30 September. Strip the gain out and the quarter was close to break-even.
A shrinking stablecoin supply shows cash is fleeing crypto and leaves Bitcoin without the fuel for a rally.
Our read: Glassnode's $14.2 billion figure and CryptoQuant's USDT data are real and point one way, but the drop is about half the size of the 2022 contraction, supply still sits near $280 billion, and it has rebounded quickly after past dips. No one has confirmed how much reflects redemptions versus coins moving between chains.

LNbits shipped an emergency update, version 1.7.0, on 10 November 2026 after users reported stolen Bitcoin from Lightning wallets. The creator says the team suffered losses too. A patch alone does not undo a breach, and a full exploit report is still to come.
Bitcoin Core published three security advisories on November 10, 2026. The high-severity flaw could stop mining nodes from building blocks after a chain reorganization. All three were patched in October 2025, and no funds were at risk.
The honest answer is not 10 minutes. The network releases a fresh batch of coins about every 10 minutes, but what any miner earns depends on their slice of a vast pool of computing power. For a single home machine, a whole coin can take decades.

Brazil's largest crypto exchange restored view-only account access on November 9, a week after a hack that on-chain analysts valued near $49 million. Trading and withdrawals remain frozen.
Germany's biggest bank switched on crypto custody for institutional clients in Europe on November 11, holding Bitcoin, Ether and three stablecoins. It also signed a tokenization deal with its fund arm DWS. No customers have been named and fees are undisclosed.

A draft proposal would strip durable nonces out of Solana, a feature that lets a signed transaction sit unspent for weeks. Attackers used it to drain at least $270 million from the Drift trading platform in April. Custodians that sign offline would have to rebuild how they move funds.
A blockchain oracle feeds outside prices to smart contracts, and that number is often the real target. How price feeds work, why attackers manipulate them, and what the Mango Markets, KiloEx and Ostium cases show.
