📉 BITCOIN ETFs SEE $643.2 MILLION IN OUTFLOWS IN THE US
Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the United States ended the session on 30/10/2026 with net outflows of $643.2 million, according to Farside Investors.
The result interrupted four consecutive sessions of inflows, which had totaled $440.8 million.
📊 Biggest outflows of the session: 🔻 IBIT (BlackRock): $233.7 million 🔻 FBTC (Fidelity): $201 million 🔻 ARKB (ARK/21Shares): $129.5 million 🔻 GBTC (Grayscale): $53.3 million 🔻 BITB (Bitwise): $25.7 million
The aggregate balance for the week of 26–30/10/2026 was negative $202.4 million.
⚠️ The data reflect net creations and redemptions of fund shares. They do not represent customer withdrawals from exchanges or, by themselves, demonstrate the cause of the market decline. 🔎 The movement warrants monitoring, as it indicates a reversal in the institutional flows observed during the week.
📊 BINANCE: NEW OUTFLOW ESTIMATE REACHES US$5.81 BILLION
Reuters reported on 02/11/2026 at 01:53 UTC that DefiLlama raised its estimate of Binance's net outflows from US$4.36 billion to US$5.81 billion following the security incident.
Binance had reported US$3.64 billion in net outflows over an earlier period and said that flows were stabilizing.
⚠️ The figures are not directly comparable: the periods and methodologies differ. The exchange disputes the accounting of transfers to its new hot wallets.
The difference does not, by itself, prove additional customer withdrawals or insufficient reserves.
🔎 Monitoring flows, the normalization of withdrawals, and the publication of cryptographic proof of reserves will be essential to assess the operational recovery.

On 01/11/2026 (UTC), on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that wallets associated with the Binance security incident had moved approximately 486,970 SOL, worth US$46.4 million at the time.

Bitcoin: 18 years of the idea that transformed the financial world
On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto presented the world with a revolutionary proposal: an electronic cash system that would allow people to transfer value directly to one another, without relying on an intermediary financial institution. On 31/10/2026, this historic publication turned 18. It all began with a document titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, shared by Satoshi Nakamoto on a cryptography mailing list at 18:10 UTC on 31/10/2008.
🚨 ALERT: SCAMMERS USE FAKE BINANCE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON TELEGRAM
A new scam attempt is exploiting the Binance security incident.
According to a warning shared by co-founder He Yi on 01/11/2026, criminals are sending small amounts of GRAM via Telegram, accompanied by messages impersonating official announcements from the exchange.
⚠️ How does the scam work?
The fake alerts claim that users’ assets are at risk and instruct them to transfer the assets to a supposed “Binance vault.”
The goal is to trick victims into sending cryptocurrency to addresses controlled by scammers.
🔐 How to protect yourself:
• Don’t transfer assets based on instructions received in unsolicited messages.
• Don’t connect your wallet to links sent by strangers.
• Don’t share recovery phrases, passwords, or authentication codes.
• Verify announcements directly through Binance’s official channels.
A message that looks official does not prove that it is authentic.

🔐 BINANCE: WITHDRAWALS CONTINUE TO RESUME GRADUALLY
Binance included 15 networks in the first phase of withdrawal recovery on 01/11/2026, but this does not mean that all assets are unrestrictedly available.
According to a TechCrunch report published at 16:20 UTC, the exchange's operational dashboard still showed services as normal, partially suspended, and suspended during the morning.
⚠️ Before transferring cryptocurrencies, check that the exact asset and network combination is available on the platform.
Binance maintains its statement that approximately 95% of the affected assets have been restored. The investigation and recovery are ongoing.
🚨 BINANCE RECORDS MORE THAN US$3.5 BILLION IN NET OUTFLOWS
After withdrawals gradually resumed on 01/11/2026, DefiLlama data cited by Reuters showed more than US$3.5 billion in net outflows from Binance.
📊 The exchange acknowledged an initial spike in withdrawals, but said the volume was declining and approaching its usual operating levels.
⚠️ Note: net outflows represent the difference between funds flowing in and out. They do not mean that new funds were stolen, nor do they, on their own, prove insolvency.
Binance did not confirm the amount estimated by DefiLlama. The metric is dynamic and may be revised.
The flow trends and the full recovery of the affected assets remain under monitoring.
FBI attributes billion-dollar Binance attack to TraderTraitor operation: what does the investigation reveal?
U.S. authority points to North Korean involvement in the theft of more than $6 billion and warns companies in the sector about movements of stolen crypto assets. On 31/10/2026, the FBI issued an official statement attributing the attack on Binance, which occurred around 29/10/2026, to North Korea. According to the agency, the malicious activity is associated with the operation known as TraderTraitor. The statement represents a formal attribution of responsibility by an American investigative authority. However, the public announcement does not present all the technical evidence used to reach this conclusion, nor does it constitute a final judicial ruling.

🚨 BINANCE CONFIRMS WITHDRAWALS REACTIVATED ON SEVEN NETWORKS Binance has expanded the gradual resumption of withdrawals following the security incident on 10/29/2026.
According to an update released by the exchange, withdrawals have been reactivated on seven networks:
🔸 Bitcoin — BTC 🔸 Ethereum — ETH, USDT and USDC 🔸 BNB Smart Chain — BNB, USDT and USDC 🔸 XRP Ledger — XRP 🔸 Base — ETH and USDC 🔸 Dogecoin — DOGE 🔸 Optimism — ETH, USDT and USDC
📌 What's new? XRP, Base, Dogecoin and Optimism join the networks with confirmed resumption, alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, which were previously reported.
⚠️ The reactivation of these networks does not mean the platform has fully returned to normal. Other networks remain subject to security and stability checks, and processing delays may occur.
Before transferring assets, check that the exact cryptocurrency and network combination is available on Binance.
This update follows the resumption of Bitcoin (BTC) withdrawals, which was confirmed earlier.
🌐 Why does this matter? Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain are widely used networks for transferring crypto assets and stablecoins. Reopening them expands users’ transfer options.
⚠️ The recovery is still partial. Other networks remain subject to Binance’s security and stability checks. Processing delays may occur.
The platform also reports that it has replenished approximately 95% of the affected assets, but the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
🚨 BINANCE RESUMES BITCOIN WITHDRAWALS AFTER CYBERATTACK
Binance began restoring Bitcoin (BTC) withdrawals on 01/11/2026, according to a Reuters report published at 06:49 UTC.
The exchange itself recorded the start of the resumption on its status page shortly after 06:00 UTC. 🔓 What’s changing?
BTC withdrawals have begun to be reactivated. Other assets, including ETH, XRP, and DOGE, are included in the gradual resumption process.
📊 Recovery status Binance says it has replenished approximately 95% of the assets affected by the $6.3 billion attack. The remaining 5% involves tokens with lower liquidity.
⚠️ Please note: reopening Bitcoin withdrawals does not mean that withdrawals have fully returned to normal. Availability depends on the asset and network, and delays may occur.
The replenishment of balances should also not be confused with the recovery of funds directly from the attackers. Sources: Binance Support - Atualização oficial nº 4
⚠️ Important: reopening will be gradual. Being on this list does not mean the network is already available to all users. Binance says deposits remained active and withdrawals may be delayed during the resumption.
The availability of each asset and network should be checked directly on the platform.

BINANCE BRAZIL: NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL CRYPTO TRANSFERS
01/11/2026 (UTC) is the date announced by Binance for adopting new procedures for international crypto-asset deposits and withdrawals.
The change stems from BCB Resolution No. 521/2025 and requires additional information for transfers involving counterparties abroad.
📌 WHAT’S CHANGING?
• State the purpose of the transaction and identify the sender or beneficiary, depending on the type of transfer. • International deposits may remain pending until the information is provided. • International withdrawals will require the information to be provided before they are sent. • Transfers between residents in Brazil are not affected by this update.
For transfers to or from a self-custody wallet, Binance clarifies that it is enough to confirm ownership, without stating a purpose.
The exchange also states a limit of US$100,000 per transaction for international transfers with counterparties that are not institutions authorized to operate in the Brazilian foreign exchange market, subject to regulatory conditions.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: the start date was announced previously. The actual implementation of the new procedures has not yet been confirmed in this review. This update does not confirm that withdrawals suspended following the security incident have resumed.

🚨 FBI ISSUES OFFICIAL ALERT AND IDENTIFIES WALLETS LINKED TO THE BINANCE ATTACK
In an alert published on 31/10/2026, the FBI attributed the theft of more than US$6 billion in crypto assets from Binance to the North Korean group TraderTraitor.
The new development is the FBI’s disclosure of blockchain addresses associated with the stolen funds.
According to the agency, in coordination with the U.S. Secret Service and the IRS Criminal Investigation division, those responsible are converting assets primarily into Ethereum (ETH). Authorities expect further laundering through DeFi services and instant exchanges.
The FBI is asking exchanges, blockchain infrastructure operators, DeFi services, and blockchain analytics companies to block transactions associated with the identified addresses.
⚠️ The attribution is a conclusion announced by U.S. authorities. The alert does not mean that all the funds have been recovered or that the investigation has concluded.
🚨 FBI ATTRIBUTES BILLION-DOLLAR BINANCE ATTACK TO NORTH KOREA, REUTERS REPORTS
New information about the Binance attack was reported by Reuters on 31/10/2026 at 21:43 UTC.
According to the agency, the FBI attributed the theft of more than US$6 billion in digital assets from the exchange to North Korea.
Reuters also reports that, according to the FBI, North Korean agents may be converting some of the stolen assets into Ethereum (ETH), as part of a money-laundering process that could involve further steps.
The attribution marks an important development compared with earlier analyses by private blockchain intelligence firms.
⚠️ The technical investigation into the attack is ongoing. Binance has not yet published a conclusive report on all the methods used in the breach.
The exchange previously said it had replenished 90% of the affected assets and expects to resume withdrawals on 01/11/2026, but the reopening is still subject to operational confirmation.
