‍DeFi's Vulnerabilities Exposed: Balancer Hack and Stream Contagion Spark Risk Mitigation Efforts Recent major exploits, including the Balancer hack resulting in over $116 million in losses and Stream Finance's $93 million disclosed loss, have highlighted significant vulnerabilities within the DeFi ecosystem. These incidents underscore the urgent need for enhanced security and robust risk management frameworks. In response, industry players are championing transparency and developing advanced risk assessment tools. RedStone launched Credora, a DeFi-native risk ratings platform, while a coalition including Aave and Uniswap formed the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance (EPAA) to represent DeFi interests in Washington. Despite market fluctuations and a drop in TVL, DeFi remains a highly active sector, signaling its resilience and ongoing evolution toward a more secure future.

‍Coinbase Premium Hits 7-Month Low Amid Bitcoin's Struggle Below $100K Bitcoin's price dip below $100,000 has coincided with a seven-month low for the Coinbase Premium Index. This suggests significant selling pressure from US investors and potential ETF outflows, indicating immediate price weakness. The negative premium on Coinbase, where Bitcoin trades at a discount, historically signals robust selling by US-based investors and ETF capital outflows. While a downtrend phase, sustained recovery could signal absorption of sell pressure and initial accumulation. Onchain data shows short-term holders actively increasing positions, while long-term holders are taking profits. This divergence suggests fresh capital is entering, but existing sell orders are not yet fully absorbed. Technically, a bearish outlook persists. Bitcoin needs to reclaim $104,000 as support to avoid retesting $95,000 and the yearly open near $93,500. This potential pullback could flush out remaining long positions before a rebound. The market's ability to absorb selling pressure around $93,500 will be crucial for a potential reversal.

‍Pope Leo XIV Advocates for Ethical AI Development, Emphasizing Human Dignity Pope Leo XIV has underscored the necessity of moral discernment in AI development, viewing it as a critical test of humanity's ethical direction. The Vatican's consistent stance is that technological innovation, including in digital assets, carries significant ethical and spiritual weight. The Pope calls for human-centered AI, a principle that resonates with blockchain and crypto sectors advocating for decentralized and ethical systems. He stated, "Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity." This message urges the creation of AI systems reflecting justice, solidarity, and reverence for life. The Vatican's teaching, *Antiqua et nova*, cautions that AI, lacking human judgment, could exacerbate inequality and surveillance. Drawing parallels to the Industrial Revolution, Pope Leo XIV highlights that AI represents a similar epochal shift. He emphasizes that technology must not redefine humanity. The Vatican's advocacy for ethical AI governance calls for systems that protect human dignity and serve the common good, aligning with decentralized governance principles in blockchain. This reinforces the crypto community's responsibility to build ethically sound systems.

‍Trump Media Reports Significant Q3 Losses Despite Bitcoin Investment Trump Media & Technology Group, parent company of Truth Social, reported a $54.8 million net loss for Q3 2025, despite a multi-billion dollar investment in Bitcoin. The stock DJT fell over 4% to a year-low of $12.70. The company's crypto strategy, including $2 billion in Bitcoin, generated $15.3 million from option premiums and $13.4 million in interest. However, these gains were offset by asset depreciation and legal fees. Bitcoin’s price correction also impacted portfolio value. Trump Media is expanding into prediction markets via a partnership with Crypto.com, underscoring a broader commitment to the digital economy.

‍Columbia Study Alleges Widespread Wash Trading on Polymarket New research from Columbia University suggests nearly 60% of Polymarket's trading volume was artificial in July 2024. The 80-page paper indicates wash trading persisted through April 2025, and accounted for about 20% in early October 2025. Over three years, researchers estimate 25% of the platform's total volume is artificial. Wash trading, an illegal practice, involves simultaneous buying and selling to create a false impression of market activity. The study implies Polymarket's operational structure may contribute to this issue. These allegations arise as Polymarket gains prominence, particularly during the 2024 US presidential election cycle, and is rumored to be seeking a $10 billion valuation. The findings also emerge as the platform plans a US market re-entry in November.
