According to a report by Reuters on October 28, three South Korean financial institutions reported data breaches on Wednesday. Cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb stated that its internal mobile system was hacked, resulting in the leakage of personal information, and it is investigating whether member data was included. Brokerage firm Daishin Securities reported that approximately 38,000 customer information records were leaked and has taken emergency measures. Asset management company Mirae Asset Global Investments also confirmed a hacking incident, and authorities are assessing the situation. Reuters stated that it was unable to immediately contact spokespersons from the three institutions for comments.The report noted that these incidents occurred after 16 financial institutions in South Korea (including banks) were attacked by hackers. Earlier this month, the South Korean Financial Services Commission stated that related incidents have caused approximately 100,000 data breaches to date. Additionally, reports indicate that the Seoul Science and Technology Department and the Korea Internet & Security Agency have urged website operators to check for PHP vulnerabilities, which could allow attackers to execute malicious commands on servers without logging in.

After Anthropic publicly submitted its prospectus the previous evening, investment institutions and market participants began to assess its growth quality, cost structure, and potential valuation. Morningstar senior equity analyst Malik Ahmed Khan and PitchBook analyst Rolfes stated that as of September 30, Anthropic had over 11,900 enterprise customers contributing at least $100,000 in revenue over the last 12 months, compared to about 950 in the same period last year. Khan believes this reflects a faster adoption of Claude in the enterprise market and significant revenue growth.Analysts also pointed out that the rapid increase in customer numbers alone is insufficient to indicate long-term revenue stability. The prospectus lacks detailed data on customer retention, and the disclosed net revenue retention rate is also affected by a small base; as the comparison base expands, this metric may decline. Investment in computing power is another focus. Morningstar believes that Anthropic currently demonstrates a certain level of computing efficiency and operational efficiency, but some computing resources and related expenditures have not yet been fully reflected; as more computing power is utilized, costs may rise, and if revenue growth does not keep pace, profit margins will be under pressure.PitchBook analyst Rolfes reminded that the scale of future computing contracts and infrastructure commitments is enormous, and whether revenue growth can be sustained is an important variable in assessing profitability prospects. Gavin Baker, managing partner and chief investment officer of Atreides Management, stated that it is still possible for Anthropic to reach an annualized recurring revenue of $100 billion by the end of the year; this statement reflects his personal judgment and is not the company's published performance guidance. Nigel Green, CEO of independent financial advisory firm deVere Group, questioned the market's rumored potential valuation of $2 trillion, calling this expectation "absurd," and reminded to pay attention to infrastructure investments, slowing growth, and future financing needs. The $2 trillion figure remains a market rumor, and the prospectus has yet to determine the offering price and scale.

The French Ministry of Finance, the Financial Markets Authority (AMF), the French Central Bank, and the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) jointly suggested to the European Commission to allow third parties, such as crypto platforms, to offer rewards to stablecoin holders under specific conditions. The four institutions believe that such rewards should be regulated rather than outright prohibited.The four institutions proposed that platforms should disclose reward information to holders, must not promise guaranteed returns, and should not promote rewards as savings products; regulators should also monitor the impact of rewards on bank deposits. The French side still supports banning stablecoin issuers from paying interest but opposes extending the ban to staking and lending activities. The European Central Bank and the central banks of EU countries advocate maintaining the ban on interest for stablecoins and including indirect benefits such as rewards and fee waivers, as well as lending and staking activities within the scope of restrictions.The European Commission must submit a review report on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) to the EU legislative bodies by June 30, 2027, and may propose amendments.

Coinbase Institutional Co-CEO Brett Tejpaul stated in an interview that the "second wave" of institutional funds for Bitcoin has arrived. He revealed that the seven largest banks in the world are currently operating on Coinbase's infrastructure and are experiencing their own "Kodak moment," as these banks begin to move funds from traditional accounts to on-chain settlements.Tejpaul indicated that the core driver of institutional adoption has shifted from Bitcoin ETFs to stablecoin payments. Funds can now be transferred from Citibank accounts to USDC, cross-chain in a second, and then enter corporate accounts on the other side. He disclosed that the scale of stablecoin settlements has reached $400 million per hour, but relative to the overall payment market, it is still just "a speck of dust," with payment service providers adopting it on a large scale ahead of banks. Additionally, Coinbase is connecting U.S. funds to Deribit, which holds 85% of the options market share.When discussing Bitcoin, Tejpaul believes the macro environment is good, but the price performance is disappointing, and institutions currently view it as a tech-related trade. He also mentioned that stablecoins and agency-style commerce have arrived almost simultaneously, and Coinbase is advancing a transformation from "Amazon to AWS" to activate infrastructure across the United States, disclosing that it holds about 90% of the market share in Bitcoin ETF custody.

According to Chainlink's official blog, Chainlink has officially launched the CustodySync solution, allowing qualified custodians to enable their institutional clients to participate in the DeFi lending market under the premise of asset retention custody. Anchorage Digital, a federally chartered digital asset bank in the United States, is the official launch partner.This solution publishes custody balances on-chain through Chainlink Proof of Reserve and issues tokenized certificates representing custody assets with transfer restrictions as collateral in the lending market; the custodian and the lending protocol calculate the Loan-to-Value (LTV) based on the same price data from Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams, with the designated collateral agent executing sales when liquidation is triggered. Chainlink states that the current scale of digital asset custody is approximately $700 billion, with deposits in the DeFi lending market exceeding $80 billion and active loans over $30 billion.

Blockstream Chief Marketing Officer Peter Bain stated in a recent interview that Bitcoin has maintained the $81,000 mark amid stock market sell-offs, rising 10-year U.S. Treasury yields, and turmoil in Europe, which he described as "a very, very strong signal." He made this statement during a conversation with Grace Remington and Sean Hagan.Bain emphasized that technological development precedes price and discussed topics such as adoption, stablecoins, and tokenized stocks. He introduced Blockstream's new center established in Lugano and a new consulting department aimed at institutional clients, while explaining why treasury companies are mainly concentrated in the United States and why Switzerland will become the next market—Switzerland's clear regulatory framework and strong banking foundation make it an ideal launch market.Regarding quantum computing, Bain believes that the related threats will take decades to materialize, and that Bitcoin's real weaknesses lie elsewhere. He referenced the PHP vulnerability incident, stating that the industry needs to rethink the way software is released, and introduced Blockstream's research on quantum-resistant signature solutions, how consensus can be reached for quantum upgrades, and the Bitcoin Security Alliance. Additionally, he provided the first update on the Liquid Network event progress: the exchange service has been restored, the network is back online, and users can transfer Bitcoin back to the main chain. Looking ahead to 2027, Bain stated that institutional clients believe Bitcoin "is expected to usher in a major bull market."
