QCP:BTC 守稳 80,000 美元支撑、87,000 美元压力待破

据 QCP Group 市场报告,BTC 在经历去年 10 月最大单日清算事件一周年后表现相对稳健,尽管市场对美国政府转移大量 BTC 及 Ledger 遭黑客攻击的消息有所担忧,价格仍维持区间震荡。BTC 多次冲击 87,000 美元未果,但下方 80,000 美元支撑较为稳固。期权市场方面,隐含波动率维持高位,看跌期权溢价收窄,市场整体偏向等待突破而非防御性布局;若 BTC 有效突破 87,000 美元,下一目标位或指向 94,000 美元。 值得关注的是,市场存在一笔较大规模的 10 月 30 日到期 90,000/95,000/100,000 美元看涨蝶式期权多头头寸,为当前月末最大持仓集中点。本周宏观面将迎来关键考验,周三(10 月 14 日)美国 CPI、周四(10 月 15 日)PPI 数据相继公布,周五(10 月 16 日)美联储主席 Warsh 将在 IMF-世界银行年会发表讲话,市场目前对 10 月加息的概率定价约为 17%,上述数据及政策信号或成为 BTC 方向选择的重要触发点。

Standard Chartered Bank Launches RLUSD Custody Service, Partners with Ripple and LMAX to Advance Collateral Integration

Standard Chartered Bank has officially announced support for institutional custody services for Ripple USD (RLUSD) issued on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The service is offered through Standard Chartered Bank's DIFC branch and is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). Concurrently, Standard Chartered Bank is partnering with Ripple and LMAX Group to incorporate RLUSD into LMAX Group's eligible collateral framework for its products. Through Standard Chartered Bank's collateral mirroring model, institutional clients can flexibly deploy digital assets for trading without directly transferring RLUSD to the trading venue, thereby reducing transfer operational risks, optimizing counterparty exposure, and enhancing capital efficiency. The aforementioned functionalities will go live only after final document execution, testing, and compliance approvals are completed.

Additionally, for users who purchased OneKey hardware wallets through CryptoBilis between March 1, 2026 and the date of this statement, regardless of device model or usage status, they may apply for a free replacement. The application deadline is December 31, 2026.Furthermore, Yishi advised users who have already used the affected devices to treat their original seed phrases as potentially compromised and to transfer their assets to wallets using new seed phrases as soon as possible, without waiting for replacement devices to arrive.

XRP Ledger Foundation: Confirms No New XRP Created, Critical Vulnerability Fixed

Odaily News: The XRP Ledger Foundation posted on the X platform to clarify the recent XRP Ledger security vulnerability incident, stating that the vulnerability could potentially have been used to bypass the limit that fixes XRP's total supply at 100 billion, but it was fixed two weeks ago via version 3.4.1. Furthermore, upon verification, no new XRP was found to have been created, and the total amount of XRP currently circulating on the ledger is approximately 99.986 billion.The Foundation stated that the vulnerability would have required hundreds of deliberately constructed operations to trigger, and normal payment transactions would almost never involve it. In the future, it will strengthen formal verification, AI adversarial testing, security research collaboration, and bug bounty programs with RippleX and the community. Regarding the fix process, the Foundation explained that publicly releasing a patch could allow attackers to use AI to accelerate vulnerability analysis. To address this situation, the XRPL community engaged in coordination. Participating parties including the XRP Ledger Foundation, RippleX, core developers, and validators reached a social consensus and agreed to adopt the approach of directly releasing the fix. In addition, version 3.4.1 only became a version the network was required to adopt after going through the normal amendment voting process and receiving support from more than 80% of validators for two consecutive weeks. Protocol changes still need to be completed through the amendment mechanism.Previously, RippleX engineering lead J. Ayo Akinyele also posted on the X platform, stating that he attaches great importance to the recently disclosed critical vulnerability in the XRP Ledger (XRPL) payment engine. This vulnerability is a serious security issue that has existed in the codebase for more than 10 years and could theoretically lead to the over-creation of XRP, breaking through the fixed supply cap. However, before the vulnerability could be exploited, it was discovered by the security research firm Veria AI through Ripple's bug bounty program.

A limited number of devices were affected, and Ledger confirmed that all hardware wallet supply chain attack cases involved CryptoBilis

According to a post by Bitcoin News on X, Ledger stated that the number of affected devices is limited, and as of now, all confirmed cases related to the October 9 fund theft incident involve devices sold through Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis. Ledger's internal systems and direct sales channels were not affected. CryptoBilis has suspended all hardware wallet sales, and Ledger is cooperating with law enforcement and contacting affected customers. Ledger advises CryptoBilis buyers not to initialize unused devices; users who have already completed initialization should transfer their funds to a new wallet using a new seed phrase. The investigation is still ongoing.

Analyst Darkfost Lists Suspected High-Risk Ledger Resellers, Warns Users to Watch for Supply Chain Risks

Odaily News: Crypto analyst Darkfost posted that following the security incident involving Ledger reseller CryptoBilis, other potentially related reseller names have emerged in community discussions, including some Lazada merchants.Darkfost stated that the full scope of the incident remains difficult to confirm. Although Ledger has confirmed a connection to the CryptoBilis incident, it is still unclear whether CryptoBilis is the only affected reseller. He compiled a list of potentially risky Ledger resellers, noting that due to their regional proximity, there is a possibility that their supply chains were compromised simultaneously. However, Darkfost emphasized that these assessments are speculative and have not yet been confirmed.Darkfost advised that if users have purchased Ledger devices from the relevant resellers within the past 6 months, they may consider moving their assets to other secure devices before the investigation concludes. He also noted that users can refer to a guide published by security researcher MagicalTux to check their Ledger devices for signs of tampering.

RippleX Responds to Critical XRPL Vulnerability: Theoretical Risk of XRP Over-Issuance, Now Patched

Odaily News: J. Ayo Akinyele, Engineering Lead at RippleX, posted on X platform stating that they take the recently disclosed critical vulnerability in the XRP Ledger (XRPL) payment engine very seriously. The vulnerability is a severe security issue that has existed in the codebase for over 10 years and could theoretically lead to the over-creation of XRP, breaching the fixed supply cap. However, the vulnerability was discovered by security research firm Veria AI through Ripple's bug bounty program before it could be exploited.J. Ayo Akinyele further added that the Ripple team quickly developed and tested a fix, working closely with validator nodes to complete the network upgrade, and patched the vulnerability before its public disclosure. Currently, AI is changing the speed of vulnerability discovery, and XRPL needs to further enhance its security response capabilities. RippleX will strengthen its bug bounty program, expand AI-assisted vulnerability hunting and adversarial testing, review long-standing code in the payment engine, consensus mechanism, and P2P network, while advancing formal verification of critical modules and reducing potential risks through systematic security hardening. The goal is not just to fix a single vulnerability, but to identify and eliminate potential risks in XRPL's legacy code, making the network more difficult to attack.

SlowMist CISO speculates on the attack path for compromised Ledger devices: covert screen recording of mnemonic phrases followed by exfiltration.

According to disclosures by SlowMist Security Team CISO 23pds (@im23pds), researchers have indicated that Ledger hardware wallets may be susceptible to a PCB-level supply chain attack. The attack works by implanting a malicious module on the device’s screen data cable (such as the SPI bus) to passively monitor and record the mnemonic display process. The mnemonics are then forwarded to attackers via LTE/eSIM, allowing them to drain user assets. Since this spy module only performs passive read-only operations and does not interact with the firmware or Secure Element (SE), the device’s power-on self-test cannot detect any anomalies. The actual compromised security boundary is the plaintext bus between the MCU and the screen. To date, Ledger has officially launched an investigation into user fund loss incidents in Southeast Asia. The affected devices are suspected to be connected to Malaysian distributor CryptoBilis; Ledger has ordered it to halt all sales and shipments and has advised users to await official updates on the investigation.
