Odaily Report: During the Binance attack, an obvious arbitrage opportunity emerged on-chain. According to a community user's review, the attacker, in order to avoid Tether freezing, swapped a large amount of USDT for ETH through DEXs, causing the ETH price on Uniswap to briefly rise to $2,560–$2,750, with some individual trades exceeding $3,000, while Aave's ETH price obtained through the Chainlink oracle remained at $2,250–$2,290. A price gap of 15% to 30% appeared between on-chain and oracle prices, lasting nearly an hour.Arbitrageurs exploited this price gap by depositing USDC/USDT as collateral into Aave, borrowing ETH at the oracle price, then selling it at high prices on DEXs, and buying back ETH to repay the loans once the spread narrowed. According to the user's statistics, within 6 hours after the incident, a total of 61 addresses borrowed ETH on Aave mainnet (excluding the hacker's address). Among them, the most profitable address sold 12,289 ETH at an average price of approximately $2,580, then bought back 12,314 ETH at an average price of approximately $2,297, earning about $3.47 million. The top ten arbitrage addresses collectively profited approximately $6.36 million.The user stated that the arbitrageurs exploited the price disconnection between centralized exchanges and DEXs, and that the Aave contract itself had no vulnerability. As DEX prices fell back and Aave froze the mainnet V3 market, the arbitrage window gradually closed. The above profits are based on transaction-by-transaction on-chain statistics and have not yet deducted Gas fees.
According to an official announcement from Cysic, following the cross-chain bridge security incident that occurred earlier, Cysic has fully resumed its cross-chain bridge services, and users can now once again transfer CYS across chains between the Cysic mainnet and other supported blockchains. Additionally, Cysic has permanently burned 7,200,002 CYS on the BNB Smart Chain and confirmed that this operation has been recorded on-chain.
Washington Sanchez, Head of Product at Kraken Wallet, stated that the self-custodial Kraken Wallet browser extension is now live, supporting multiple networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ink, Base, and Robinhood Chain. Users can create or import wallets using a mnemonic phrase or private key, use view-only wallets, or log in via email, Google, Apple, or passkeys.

According to CoinPost, Japan Tax-free announced on October 29 that its refund service “JapanRefund” will begin supporting foreign visitors to receive tax refunds in the Japanese yen stablecoin JPYC starting November 1. Wallet infrastructure is provided by UPBOND, with funds dispatched via Avalanche C-Chain. November 1 also marks the transition to Japan Tax-free’s “refund method” system. Tourists must first purchase goods at tax-inclusive prices. Upon departure, customs verifies that the items are being taken out of the country, after which Japan Tax-free completes the reconciliation process before disbursing funds to the tourists’ wallets. JPYC maintains a 1:1 peg to the Japanese yen and is categorized as an electronic payment instrument under Japan’s Funds Settlement Act, rather than a crypto asset. According to the company, direct deposit to wallets reduces intermediary fees compared to credit card payments or international remittances. All disbursement records are stored on-chain, aiding in the prevention of money laundering and unauthorized claims. Merchants are also relieved of handling tourists’ card numbers or account details. Tourists may retain the received JPYC for expenses on their next trip to Japan, or swap it on-chain for other fiat-pegged stablecoins such as USDC. Delivery times, processing fees, and net credited amounts are subject to the terms of service.

BNB Chain ecosystem prediction market Predict.fun has officially announced that the Season 1 final snapshot has been completed. The team is currently calculating all users' final PP points balances, and Season 2 points rewards have officially launched.According to the official announcement, Season 2 has adjusted the points allocation mechanism for liquidity providers (LPs). The hourly LP points for each market will be determined by two components: order duration and actual trading volume. Among these, the actual trading reward is a newly added mechanism—orders that generate no trades or have excessively low trading value will not receive this portion of points.Additionally, Predict.fun officially stated that more important information long awaited by the community will be announced tomorrow, sparking market attention regarding its token issuance and airdrop progress.
Odaily reports: Ondo has announced that 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs are now live on Robinhood Chain, with 11 of them open for trading in StablePair liquidity pools on Uniswap v4. The pools allow traders to swap directly between Ondo Stocks and Robinhood Stock Tokens that track the same underlying assets, while liquidity providers can earn fees by providing liquidity.Ondo stated that its tokenized stocks support round-the-clock minting and redemption, providing traders with an additional source of liquidity, exit channels, and arbitrage opportunities during periods when Robinhood Stock Tokens suspend minting and redemption on weekends, helping to narrow the price deviation between on-chain prices and the underlying asset prices. The 15 assets launched this time also include 4 assets that do not yet have corresponding Robinhood Stock Tokens, such as Robinhood (HOODon), iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXIon), BitMine (BMNRon), and the United States Copper Index Fund (CPERon).Ondo Stocks can be bridged between Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain or Ethereum via Ondo Bridge, and can be minted and redeemed on the latter two.

According to an announcement published on the official Soneium blog, Soneium has announced that it will build an on-chain entertainment economy centered on "tokenized intellectual property (Tokenized IP)" and plans to issue an ecosystem-native token, $SONEIUM, to connect creators, IP holders, developers, fans, and investors.

Developers can pre-purchase up to 1.5% of the fundraising amount in tokens before launch and may sell during the Bonding Curve phase, but cannot continue buying after launch.All tokens issued through the Binance Agent ID Exclusive mode will display an exclusive ".ai" label on the Four.Meme platform, allowing users to identify tokens issued under this mode.
Odaily Reports: Uniswap Labs has launched Aggregator Hooks, integrating external decentralized exchange quotes into its v4 routing system on Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Robinhood Chain within its web app and API. At launch, seven external sources are integrated; Uniswap claims this covers over 90% of DEX activity across supported networks, though it does not guarantee optimal execution for every swap. The routing engine can compare quotes block by block and settle swaps involving both Uniswap and external venues within a single transaction, without requiring additional token approvals for tapping external liquidity. Swaps routed through Aggregator Hooks can generate protocol fees that support UNI burning, and developers can integrate new routes via the Uniswap API; the actual impact on spreads and trading volume still needs to be verified through live trading.
