Crypto news. Royal judgement.
Saturday's briefing checks a hardware-wallet warning, Tether's quarterly reserve figures, Hong Kong dollar plans for Solana, Coinbase's earnings, Ondo's portfolio launch and the gap between BONK trading volume and revenue.
Read the date, inspect the contents and distinguish a planned departure from a service already running. The crown has brought its reading glasses.
Trezor's 30 October notice describes a suspected hardware implant in a Safe 5 sold through CryptoBilis. The manufacturer has not yet examined the device and reports no known customer losses from this case. It is warning affected buyers now rather than waiting for lab confirmation.
Tether's 30 October release reports $1.5 billion of third-quarter net operating profit and a $7.95 billion excess-reserve buffer, up from $4.1 billion at the end of June. The figures accompany a BDO attestation covering 30 September, not a live view of today's reserves.
Anchorpoint and the Solana Foundation announced a collaboration on 30 October to explore extending HKDAP to Solana. Native issuance and redemption are planned, alongside payment and tokenised-asset uses. The announcement does not give a Solana launch date.
Coinbase's 29 October earnings highlights report $719 million of Q3 net income and $78 million of adjusted net income. The company also says prediction markets surpassed $200 million in annualised revenue and paid Coinbase One subscriptions reached a record.
Ondo announced on 29 October that seven Intelligent Portfolios are live on Solana for eligible investors outside the US. The tokens provide exposure to strategy-based baskets of Ondo tokenised equities and ETFs, extending a product already available on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
Blockworks' newly published Q3 BONK report puts ecosystem revenue at $1.91 million, down from $2.44 million in Q2. Meanwhile, trading in BONKfun-launched tokens rose to $961.8 million. This is a look at a quarterly report, not a claim about today's trading activity.
