    North Korea denies FBI attribution of $6.3 billion Binance hack

    North Korea has rejected the FBI’s attribution that its hackers were behind the $6.3 billion Binance hack, calling the claim a “grave political provocation.” Kim Yo Jong said the accusation was a “sinister” attempt to damage the DPRK’s image and suggested the U.S. might benefit from the stolen crypto.

Analysts report that roughly $2.85 billion of the $6.43 billion stolen has been frozen, while the hackers are creating a new wallet about every 25 seconds. Binance noted that hourly deposits have begun to exceed withdrawals as user activity stabilizes.

    Central Banks Increase Gold Purchases by 42% in Third Quarter 2026

    Central banks worldwide significantly increased their gold purchases in the third quarter of 2026, despite a decline in the metal's market price. According to the World Gold Council (WGC), purchases increased by 42% to 321 tons, marking the highest quarterly figure since the end of 2024. Overall, gold purchases by central banks from the start of the year reached 675 tons. The WGC anticipates that gold acquisition volumes for 2026 will be at least as high as in 2025, which saw 848 tons of purchases. Among the main buyers were the central banks of Poland and China. While some central banks continue to increase their reserves, others are selling precious metals. Private investors reduced their purchases of gold coins and bars by 19% in the quarter, to 268 tons. Jewelry consumption also decreased by 17%, to 313 tons, the lowest level for the third quarter since 2000. Meanwhile, investment funds, holding physical gold, increased their purchases to 211 tons in the quarter.

Bitcoin fell to $76,871 and the Fear and Greed index dropped to 34, its first reading in fear territory since July, with only one of 25 sectors positive this week.
