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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 has fixed a critical vulnerability and users should update immediately to protect their funds.
Our read: The patch is real and confirmed on the project's GitHub release page, and the creator is named on the record. But there is no published exploit report, no total loss figure and no count of affected servers, and LNbits itself says an update alone does not undo a breach.
Some outlets cast the disclosure as a set of critical risks to Bitcoin mining.
Our read: The advisory rates one bug high and two medium, and all the fixes shipped in October 2025. No funds were ever exposed, no exploit was seen, and the mining flaw only stalled a node until restart. The gap is that nobody has said how many nodes still run the vulnerable builds.

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.

The retail trading platform's third-quarter net income fell to $15 million, down 74 percent from a year earlier, as crypto revenue dropped from $3.97 billion to $1.35 billion. The board approved a $250 million share buyback.
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.
Zcash turned on its NU7 upgrade at block 3,543,405, cutting block times to 25 seconds and starting a fee reserve meant to pay for security after 2031. One old privacy pool holding about 12,224 ZEC is now frozen.

A hotter than expected US inflation report sent bitcoin to its lowest level since August, near $73,000, as traders moved to price a December Federal Reserve rate hike and more than $700 million in bets were liquidated.
