🏦 Bank of Israel rejects Netanyahu's crypto sanctions plan
The Bank of Israel has publicly said no to a proposal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to use crypto to get around possible international financial sanctions, the Financial Times reports.
The idea came from a contingency plan for Israel's banking system. Blockchain was one of the options on that list.
The sanctions in the report are potential ones, not measures already in force.
The objection came from the central bank itself, and it was made in public.

🚨 CoinDCX denies hack after $16M traced out of linked addresses
CoinDCX, India's largest crypto exchange, says none of its active wallets were compromised. The denial follows on-chain sleuths tracing roughly $16 million leaving addresses connected to the exchange.
CoinDCX says om January 2025, were compromised in its July 2025 hack and have sat unused by the exchange ever since. Its spokesperson said current central and user addresses "have not been impacted."
An investigator disputes the unused part. By that account, at least one of the old addresses was still taking in deposits and transacting with the exchange's present wallet in 2026.
A compromised address is one whose keys someone other than the exchange may hold. Coins sent to it after the breach are exposed.
CoinDCX also concedes that its system for collecting deposits from retired addresses broke down for a period and caused losses. It says affected users were credited and the exchange covered the losses itself. The statement quoted gives no figure for them.

🚨 BREAKING: GOVERNMENTS ARE PULLING THE PLUG ON THE INTERNET.
Here's what happened.
Two critical flaws were found in PHP, the code behind roughly 70% of all websites.
Amazon caught someone exploiting it 4 days BEFORE the public was warned.
Cloudflare is now seeing MILLIONS France and Finland switched off government services.
The Paris police website went dark.
The foundation behind Wikipedia took its own systems offline.
The NSA told every organisation: patch now or pull the plug.
That's one story. From one week.
Railway, a cloud platform apps run on, says customers' secret keys and passwords may have been exposed. Every deployment frozen.
SBI, India's biggest bank, confirmed customer data is on the dark web.
16 South Korean banks and lenders hit. 100,000 records leaked.
One Google data centre in London lost power and Revolut went down for hours.
Sound familiar?
2020. Something terrifying spreads. Governments shut everything down "for your safety."
You're locked out of normal life and told to wait two weeks.
This week they did it to websites.
What happens when it's your bank app?
Your money is a number on someone else's server.
If that server goes dark, so does your money.
Bitcoin in your own wallet doesn't live on their server.
No bank login. No data centre. Nobody to switch it off.
Get your coins off exchanges. Back up your seed.
Have a Plan A, B, C before you need one.

🚨 What Tornado Cash does to the Drift exploiter's trail
The wallet behind the Drift Protocol exploit has put another 24,885 ETH, worth $61.3M, into Tornado Cash, according to Lookonchain. It still holds 56,569 ETH, valued at $139.3M. More than $270M was taken in the attack.
a mixer, every move is public. Anyone can watch the exploiter's wallet, and exchanges can flag deposits that come from it.
Tornado Cash breaks that trail. Users deposit ETH in fixed amounts into a shared pool and receive a private note. Later, the note withdraws the same amount to a new address. A cryptographic proof shows that a deposit was made, but not which one.
Trackers can still see ETH going in. They lose sight of where it comes out, because any withdrawal could belong to any depositor in the pool.
That is why the 56,569 ETH still in the wallet matters. While it sits there, it can be followed. Once it is mixed, it becomes much harder to recover for the people who lost funds in the Drift attack.

🏦 What JPMorgan's bitcoin model runs on
The model gives 65% weight to bitcoin's supply growth against dollar and global money supply, and 30% to drawing money from gold. Each part yields 10.7% a year. Network adoption gets 5% and returns -3.2% a year on its own.

IS THE LARGEST MARGIN CALL IN HISTORY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN?
Americans now owe $1.48 TRILLION in margin debt. Money borrowed from their brokers to buy stocks.
June set the all-time high at $1.50 trillion. September sits less than 2% below it.
Now compare.
Dot-com bubble peak, n.
Right before 2008, July 2007: $416 billion.
Today is nearly 5x the dot-com peak. 3.6x the 2008 peak.
"But inflation." Fine. Adjust for it and it's still 2.5x the dot-com peak and 2.2x 2008.
"But the economy is bigger." Fine. Margin debt is now 4.5% of US GDP. In 2000 it was 3.0%. In 2007 it was 2.9%.
There is no way to measure this where it looks okay.
It's up 74% in 17 months. It broke its own record 12 times since January 2025.
And the cash sitting in those brokerage accounts? $434 billion. The debt is more than 3x the cash.
Here's what happened last time.
After 2000, margin debt collapsed 55%.
In 2008, it collapsed 52%.
That collapse IS the margin call. Prices drop, brokers demand cash, you can't pay, they sell your stocks for you. That selling pushes prices lower. Which triggers the next margin call.
Halve today's number and that's $740 billion of leverage being ripped out of the market.
And when it breaks, you already know the playbook.

🛠️ How PBIT's downside protection works
PBIT would hold three overlapping sets of IBIT options, typically replacing one a month.
Each aims to hold losses to about 10% before fees, with gains capped.
BlackRock sets no fixed floor or cap, so losses can exceed that.

The Fed meets on 28 October and it's trapped.
Inflation: 3.7%
Wholesale inflation: 6.3%
Textbook answer: hike.
But Washington owes $40.4 trillion.
Every 1% on that is about $400 billion a year in extra interest once it rolls over.
So what do they protect?
Your savings, or S pick the debt.
That's what Bitcoin is for.
