Odaily Report: Binance has issued a security incident progress announcement stating that the preliminary investigation indicates the incident may have originated from the compromise of a DevOps engineer's laptop, through which attackers gained access to service containers and submitted unauthorized withdrawal transactions. No evidence of wallet private key leakage has been found so far, and a complete technical investigation report will be published after the investigation concludes.Binance stated that the incident is expected to cause losses of approximately $6.3 billion. The platform has already collaborated with blockchain partners to freeze approximately $3 billion in affected assets on-chain. The platform will cover all losses through the SAFU fund and the company's own capital, and will update its Proof of Reserves (PoR) after security remediation is completed.As an emergency response measure, Binance has temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals, revoked authorizations for affected addresses, and is working with law enforcement agencies and blockchain intelligence partners to track and recover the stolen funds. Binance emphasized that user funds are safe, and the related investigation and recovery efforts are still ongoing.

Bitget Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng has released an open letter on the occasion of the platform's eighth anniversary. As the platform continues to evolve into a Universal Exchange (UEX), Bitget has further upgraded its Proof of Reserves (PoR) system, expanding the scope of verifiable assets from four original cryptocurrencies to 19 major assets. Data shows that as of September 2026, Bitget has consecutively published 46 PoR reports. In his letter, Hon Ng noted, "Growth and responsibility are never two separate pursuits." As the platform's scale, asset categories, and market boundaries continue to expand, security, transparency, and compliance standards must also be upgraded in tandem. "Making trust visible and verifiable remains a cornerstone of Bitget's commitment to long-termism." On the security front, account-level protections cover 2FA, FIDO2, WebAuthn Passkeys, and anti-phishing codes, while platform security mechanisms integrate withdrawal protection, anomaly detection, and anti-fraud systems, providing backend safeguards for every user interaction. The Market Order & Token Responsibility Framework introduced this year further strengthens continuous monitoring and risk management of listed assets, project teams, and market makers. By continuously optimizing mechanisms and enhancing transparency, it maintains a fair and orderly trading environment. From a compliance perspective, Bitget has secured corresponding registrations, licenses, or regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions, including Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, and holds

On-chain investigator ZachXBT stated that JuCoin, an East Asian centralized exchange, has recently been reported by multiple users to have experienced abnormal withdrawal issues over the past week. Analysis indicates that in its Proof of Reserves published on X, JuCoin self-reported total reserves of approximately $511 million—most of which consist of USDC and USDT issued on its proprietary blockchain, JuChain—leaving the actual backing unclear.
According to official announcements, Berachain has unveiled the roadmap for the next phase of its Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) evolution. Berachain notes that most blockchains treat tokens like faucets—value flows out with little returning, and while blockchains bear the economic costs of operation, they fail to profit from them. Berachain aims to break this cycle through PoL Next—ensuring every dollar emitted compounds as yield for $BERA holders.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), after Bitmine acquired 100,000 ETH at noon today, it deposited an additional 75,600 ETH into Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system for staking—valued at approximately $176 million. Bitmine’s total staked ETH currently stands at roughly 3.471 million ETH, representing about 70% of its total ETH holdings of 4.976 million ETH.
According to BlockSec Phalcon, the HandlerV1 contract managed by Hyperbridge on the Ethereum network was found to contain a Merkle Mountain Range (MMR) proof replay vulnerability, resulting in approximately $242,000 in losses. The vulnerability stems from the lack of binding between proofs and requests, enabling attackers to replay historical valid proofs alongside newly forged requests to perform malicious actions—such as altering administrator privileges. In the specific incident, the attacker changed the Polkadot (DOT) token administrator and then exploited those privileges to mint additional DOT tokens for profit. Observed attack transactions include: changing the DOT token administrator and minting new tokens (losses of ~$237,400), changing the ARGN token administrator and minting new tokens (losses of ~$3,800), and host withdrawal operations. The vulnerability was discovered by PhalconSecurity and analyzed via PhalconExplorer. Previously, the Hyperbridge gateway contract was attacked, leading to the unauthorized minting and subsequent dumping of 1 billion DOT tokens on Ethereum.
