⚠️ IF YOU HAVE A CAPCOM ID ACCOUNT, DON’T CLICK ANY EMAIL “FROM CAPCOM” IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS Here’s why: Capcom just confirmed that 11,774,247 email addresses worldwide were exposed in a cyberattack on its CAPCOM ID system. Scammers now have a ready-made list to send fake Capcom emails to. - Exposed data: email addresses, IP addresses, account creation dates, login counts. - 196 accounts had their passwords changed by attackers to lock owners out (Capcom has since reset them). - Capcom says passwords weren’t exposed and games are running normally. What to do now: - Go directly to the CAPCOM ID site, never through email links - Change your password, and change it anywhere else you reuse it - Don’t open attachments from unknown emails

🏦 HSBC PUSHED A STABLECOIN INTO THE POCKETS OF 3.3 MILLION PAYME USERS As of Oct 23, RedCoin, HSBC’s HKD-pegged stablecoin, is rolling out on PayMe for P2P transfers and merchant payments, with wallet activation requiring no new account or minimum balance. The token is redeemable 1:1 for HKD, issued under an HKMA license, and will be integrated into the banking app by year-end for tokenized money market fund investing from HK$100. Instead of making users download a crypto wallet, HSBC is putting stablecoins inside the app they already use every day.

💥MORE THAN 2 MILLION SOL VANISHED FROM THE TREASURY IN LESS THAN A MONTH AND THE COMPANY HAD PROMISED IT WOULDN’T SkyAI (Nasdaq: SKYA) reaffirmed its Solana strategy on Sept 14, then sold all its SOL by Oct 16 to raise $223.8M for a share and warrant buyback at $3 per unit. Shareholder Bastion Trading (about 9.99%) is pushing back, demanding an explanation of the sales and a higher price of at least $3.50. The tender offer is set to expire Oct 29.

🔥SSV LABS PROPOSED MAJOR DEVELOPMENT CUTS, AND THE DAO STILL OWES 1.74 MILLION SSV Proposal DIP-59 (submitted Oct 21) shifts the focus from new products to maintenance, security, and Ethereum upgrade compatibility, with a commitment extended to June 30, 2027, as the DAO faces financial pressure. It’s only a proposal for now, and the DAO will vote on it. Should the DAO approve or reject it?

🚨 CZ WARNED: “BE EXTRA CAREFUL VISITING ANY WEBSITE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.” Two critical vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.2) have been exposed in the core of PHP, the foundation of WordPress, Magento, Joomla and more, letting attackers run code on servers without logging in. The patch dropped on Oct 21, but many admins haven’t updated yet, so even a familiar website could be used to steal your login credentials. Over the next few days, update your browser, turn on 2FA, and be cautious about entering passwords or connecting your crypto wallet.

🔥 SWAP BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE DIRECTLY FOR GRAYSCALE ETF SHARES - NO CASH-OUT NEEDED Starting Oct 21, Grayscale’s in-kind investing covers 10 products: BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, LINK, DOGE, HYPE, SUI, XRP and ZEC. It can ease the burden of self-custody and potentially cut transaction costs. It’s available to eligible investors and still runs through authorized participants, but it’s a new step toward bringing crypto into traditional portfolios.

🚨 MEXC OFFICIALLY “CLOSES THE DOOR” ON USERS IN RUSSIA AND BELARUS On October 20, @MEXC announced it is discontinuing services in both countries to strengthen global compliance. Affected accounts will receive an email and in-app notice with deadlines to close positions and withdraw funds. Assets remain secure, and users who receive no notice can keep trading as normal. Bitget also tightened restrictions on Russia and Belarus just days earlier, a sign that offshore exchanges are accelerating their pullback.

🇬🇧 A POWER OUTAGE IN LONDON JUST PARALYZED PART OF THE UK On the morning of Oct 20, a power failure at Google Cloud’s London data center disrupted Revolut, HSBC, Halifax, Royal Mail, and even court video links. Google says power has been restored and most services are back, but the root cause hasn’t been disclosed. One point of failure took dozens of services down with it, a lesson in the risk of putting everything in one cloud “home.”

🚀 SPACEX REPORTED A $4.4B PROFIT, MORE THAN 2X EXPECTATIONS $SPCX posted Q3 revenue of $14.58B (+161%), driven by its AI segment surging 830%, and the stock jumped over 8% after hours to nearly $160. Musk confirmed SpaceX and Tesla have formed independent committees to explore a merger, but stressed it’s not a certainty, and said $1T in revenue by 2028 is “no longer impossible.” One thing to watch: nine-month capex hit $48B, nearly 4x operating cash flow.

🔥REPORT TAXPAYER FRAUD, EARN A 1% COMMISSION: THE U.S. JUST LAUNCHED AN UNPRECEDENTED REWARD PROGRAM On Oct 20, President Trump and VP Vance announced the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program. Anyone who reports fraud involving federal taxpayer money can earn a 1% commission on the funds recovered, with no cap. Example: recover $1 billion, and the whistleblower could receive $10 million. There’s also a $25 million fund paying up to $30,000 for tips that lead to prosecution. ⚠️ But don’t get rich dreams just yet: - The commission is based on money actually recovered, not fraud uncovered - Trump says he’ll personally decide who gets paid - How tips will be vetted is still unclear The first recipient is YouTuber Nick Shirley, who gets $10,000, and the payout is already sparking debate.

🚨 TESLA AND SPACEX ARE CONSIDERING A MERGER, AND MUSK HAS SPOKEN Both companies have formed special committees of independent directors to review the deal, with Musk sitting out due to a conflict of interest. He thinks it’s a good idea but says it’s far from certain: no terms or valuation have been agreed, and Tesla would need approval from 50% of all outstanding shares. This is only the first step, not a done deal.

🔥MULTICOIN: “EVERYONE’S CHASING AI, WE’RE STAYING WITH CRYPTO” Multicoin’s $2.7B fund says hyperliquid:native is the largest position in its hedge fund (size undisclosed), and it won’t expand into pure AI like Paradigm, Framework or Haun. Still, per Arkham, it has sold about 75% from its peak and holds roughly $90.5M in HYPE.

🇩🇪 GERMANY’S LARGEST BANKING NETWORK OPENED THE DOOR TO CRYPTO From October 19, Sparkasse customers can buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana and Polygon right in their banking app, with a €0.99 fee per order. Only 5 banks have joined so far, but 30–40 more are expected to join each month.
