🚨 $86M reportedly drained from hardware wallets: what every holder should know

Ledger says it is investigating reports of stolen funds tied to devices sold through a third-party reseller in Southeast Asia. The $86M figure comes from an on-chain investigator, and Ledger has not confirmed the amount or the cause.

What we know:
✅ There is no confirmed evidence Ledger’s own systems were compromised
✅ Ledger asked the reseller to pause all sales and shipments
✅ Anyone who bought from that seller in the last 90 days was told not to set the device up
✅ Those who already did were told to move funds to a new device with a new seed phrase

How to protect yourself:
1️⃣ Buy hardware wallets only from the manufacturer or a verified authorized seller
2️⃣ A genuine device never comes with a recovery phrase already written down. Don’t use one if it does
3️⃣ Generate your own seed phrase during setup, and never type it into a website or app
4️⃣ Be wary of deals that look too cheap, and avoid marketplaces and second-hand units

The lesson: self-custody is only as safe as the supply chain behind your device. A security story like this fits this week’s theme: protect yourself before problems start.

Do you buy direct from the manufacturer, or have you used a reseller? 👇

10/10 turns one: crypto’s worst day, by the numbers 🕯️

One year ago today, $19B+ in leveraged positions were liquidated in about a day. Here’s how far the market has traveled:

📈 Oct 6, 2025: $BTC hit its record at about $126.2K
💥 Oct 10, 2025: a tariff shock triggered the crash
📉 Jul 1, 2026: BTC bottomed near $58.6K, more than half off the peak
🔄 Today: BTC is around $82.8K, roughly a third below the record and up about 40% from the low

Then vs now:
⚠️ Open interest is up again, rising about 4% in a week, similar to the pre-crash move. Analysts say there’s no evidence another $19B event is imminent
⚠️ Oil is above $100 and diesel above $6, adding macro stress
✅ ETF demand has been strong, with about $2.6B in September inflows

My takeaways:
1️⃣ Leverage is the real risk, not the date
2️⃣ Recoveries take longer than crashes
3️⃣ Size positions so one bad day can’t end your trading

$1.2B wiped out in 24h, and Ether took the worst of it 💥

Thursday’s flush liquidated about $1.19B across crypto, with 85-95% of it long positions.

The surprise:
🔻 $ETH: ~$356M liquidated
🔻 $BTC : ~$298M liquidated

ETH’s market value is under one-fifth of BTC’s, so Ether longs were hit roughly 6x harder.

Where we are now:
$BTC ~$82.5K (-0.4%), after touching ~$80.9K on Thursday
$ETH ~$2,498 (-2.7%), still just under the $2,500 level

Levels I’m watching:
🟢 BTC support: ~$80.9K (Thursday’s low)
🔴 BTC resistance: ~$83K-$83.5K
🔴 ETH resistance: $2,500, then $2,560-$2,600

Two views:
🐂 Some analysts say the bottom is in, and BitMine keeps buying ETH
🐻 Altcoin ETF inflows are fading, oil is high, and the Fed meets Oct 27-28

Timing: tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the 10/10 crash ($19B+ liquidated). A flush this size the day before is a reminder of how fast leverage unwinds.

Are you reducing leverage, or buying the flush? 👇

Final version to post

One year ago this Saturday: the 10/10 crash 🕯️ On Oct 10, 2025, $19B+ in leveraged positions were liquidated in about a day, hitting 1.6M traders. $BTC is ~$82.5K after another flush this week. Reminder: leverage turns dips into forced exits. How has your risk approach changed? 👇 #BTC #CryptoNews Not financial advice.

UPDATE: $BTC loses $83K support 📉

Since my earlier post, Bitcoin has slipped to ~$81.8K (-1.5%) and $ETH to ~$2,509 (-1.9%), testing the $2,500 support.

🔴 BTC resistance: ~$83K-$83.5K (old support)
🟢 BTC next support: ~$80K

Oil-driven inflation worries and rising yields are weighing on risk assets. With the Fed on Oct 27-28 and the 10/10 anniversary Friday, I'm cautious on leverage.

Do you buy the dip or wait? 👇

Bitcoin holds the $83K line, Ethereum lags 📊

$BTC ~$83.1K (-0.8%)
$ETH ~$2,567 (-1.1%)

Bitcoin has bounced from this morning's low near $82.7K but remains below the $87.4K high. Ethereum is weaker, with $ETH spot ETFs seeing $202M in outflows on Oct 6.

Key levels:
🟢 BTC support: ~$83K-$83.5K, being tested now
🔴 BTC resistance: ~$87.4K

Fear & Greed has cooled to the mid-60s. The Fed meets Oct 27-28, and the 10/10 crash anniversary is this Friday. I'm staying cautious on leverage until we see a clear break either way.

Does $83K hold, or are we heading lower? 👇

$BTC Market Update 📊

Bitcoin dropped to around $84,000-84,200 today, down roughly 1.3-2.2% — a real pullback, not just noise.

🛢️ What's driving it: Oil prices jumped after reports of attacks on Iranian oil tankers, pushing the US dollar and oil higher — this kind of geopolitical tension typically makes investors pull back from riskier assets like crypto.

📉 Ethereum, Solana, and most major coins are also down today, showing this is a broad market reaction, not a single-coin story.

🌍 Bigger picture: Despite today's dip, Bitcoin's broader trend over recent weeks is still described as intact — this looks like a pullback within a larger uptrend, not a reversal, though that can change.

⚠️ Geopolitical events can move markets fast and unpredictably. Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$BTC

$ETH Update 📊

Ethereum is holding near $2,700-2,716 today, relatively calm.

⚙️ Today's big event: Ethereum's "Glamsterdam" upgrade — described as the network's biggest upgrade since "The Merge" — goes live today on Sepolia (the public test network), scheduled for exactly 13:53:36 UTC.

🎯 What it means: This is a test, not the final mainnet launch (that's expected sometime in Q4 2026) — but it's the first real public look at upgrades that will increase how much activity each block can handle.

📊 Market context: Bitcoin is holding around $85,900 (down slightly, rejected near $87,000 again), while the broader Fear & Greed Index actually rose to 73 (Greed) today despite the calm prices.

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$ETH

$BTC Update 📊

Bitcoin is holding near $85,000 today, little changed over the past 24 hours.

🏛️ Today's news: The US SEC just approved a rule change allowing the first-ever 3x leveraged Bitcoin ETFs to be listed — giving investors a new, officially regulated way to get amplified exposure to Bitcoin's price moves.

📈 Bigger picture: This follows the SEC separately proposing changes to crypto custody rules this week — regulatory clarity is actively improving.

💰 Bitcoin funds pulled in about $2.5 billion this week, marking the best September in over a decade for inflows.

🎯 BTC briefly climbed above $87,000 earlier this week before settling into this narrower range.

⚠️ Leveraged products carry extra risk, and crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$BTC

$XRP Update 📊

XRP is trading around $1.4833 today, down 2.61% — even as a real institutional event happened.

🏦 Today's news: A new regional body called "XRP Asia" officially launched at Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul, with two real banks — Woori Bank and Kakao Bank — joining Ripple on stage. The goal is to grow XRP use for cross-border payments across Asia.

📰 Also ahead: A separate XRP-linked company is set to begin trading on Nasdaq on October 8 under ticker "XRPN."

📉 Worth noting: Despite this positive news, the price is down today — a reminder that good news doesn't always move price immediately, and the broader market is soft right now too.

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$XRP

$BTC Update 📊

Bitcoin is trading around $85,993 today, up 2.22% — pushing toward the $86K mark!

📈 This comes right after Bitcoin closed its best Q3 in years (up roughly 42-44% over the quarter), and today's gain continues that strong momentum into October.

💰 Crypto funds pulled in $3.55 billion in a single week recently, showing strong institutional interest.

🎯 With this move, BTC is now getting close to the $87K resistance zone that's been watched in recent sessions.

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$BTC

$BTC Update 📊

Bitcoin rose as much as 2.4% to $85,594 today, before settling back to around $83,400.

📊 What's driving it: New inflation data (called PCE) came in softer than expected (3%) — this lowered expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates in October, which usually makes investors more willing to buy riskier assets like Bitcoin.

📈 Stocks reacted the same way — the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also rose today on the same news.

🎯 Key levels: $82K–$83K is acting as support, with $85K as the level to watch next.

💰 Despite a recent exchange security scare (Bitget), crypto ETFs still pulled in $2.39 billion this week — institutional demand remains strong.

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.
$BTC

$XRP Update 📊

XRP is up 3.73%, riding strong institutional and network activity.

🗳️ Today's event: Shareholders of a company called Evernorth are voting today (Sept 30) on a merger that would list them on Nasdaq under the ticker "XRPN" — and they'd hold at least 473 million XRP on their balance sheet. If it passes and Nasdaq's conditions are met, this brings a major new institutional holder into the XRP ecosystem.

📈 Real network growth: New accounts on the XRP Ledger jumped 535%, and payment volume rose 894% — genuine usage growth, not just price speculation.

💰 Sustained ETF inflows and whale buying are also backing this move.

🌍 Market context: Bitcoin is holding around $83,300, relatively flat, while broader sentiment sits at 71 (Greed).

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — outcomes from votes like this can move price fast either way. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$XRP

$ALGO Update 📊

Algorand jumped 14.6% today, trading around $0.1336 — a standout gain while most of the market is falling.

⚙️ What's driving it: Algorand just deployed a real post-quantum upgrade live on its network — this means the blockchain is now built to stay secure even against future quantum computers, a real technical achievement, not just hype.

📊 Real activity behind it: Trading volume hit $197 million, with institutional money rotating into "quantum-resistant" blockchain projects.

🌍 Market context: Bitcoin is down about 1.1% today near $83,000, and most major coins (ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP) are also in the red — so ALGO bucking the trend is meaningful.

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$ALGO

$QNT Update 📊

Quant (QNT) is up about 60% in 24 hours and trading near $279. It is one of the biggest gainers on Binance today!

🏦 Why it's moving: Big banks in the UK picked Quant's technology for "tokenised deposits." This means turning regular bank money into digital tokens that move faster and more safely between banks.

📈 Real trading behind it: About $245 million was traded on Binance in one day, so this is not a small, quiet move.

📉 Watch out: QNT reached a high of $373 earlier today, then pulled back to about $279. It is also up over 330% in the last 7 days.

🌍 Market mood: Bitcoin is a little lower today (around $83,000), so QNT is rising while the market is flat. The Fear & Greed Index is at 74 (Greed).

⚠️ After a run this big, prices can drop as fast as they rose. Crypto prices go up and down fast. Only invest money you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$QNT

$HBAR Update 📊

Hedera jumped 24.1% over the past week — a real, news-driven move.

🤝 What's driving it: Tech giant IBM just listed a Hedera-based product called "IDTrust" in its official Cloud Catalog — a genuine corporate partnership, not just speculation.

📈 Bigger picture: The broader altcoin market rose 5.35% too, but HBAR's move outpaced that significantly — showing this is a coin-specific story, not just riding a general wave.

🌍 Market context: Bitcoin is holding steady around $84,400, and Ethereum is trading near $2,690 — both relatively calm, making HBAR's standout move even more notable today.

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$HBAR

$AERO Update 📊

Aerodrome jumped 20.7% today, standing out as capital rotates into DeFi and smaller altcoins.

📈 What's happening: While Bitcoin and Ethereum are actually dipping slightly today (BTC down 0.8%, ETH down 0.2%), money is flowing into DeFi — the DeFi sector rose 3% today, and NEAR also saw strong $1.63 billion in trading volume, showing this is a broader rotation, not just one coin.

😃 Overall mood is bullish: The Fear & Greed Index climbed to 74 today (Greed), up from 71 yesterday.

💰 ETF context: Bitcoin ETFs just saw their 7th straight day of inflows ($134M on Sept 25), showing steady institutional interest even as the price cools slightly today.

⚠️ Crypto is highly volatile — always enable 2FA and stay cautious with exchange security. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$AERO

$BTC Update 📊

Bitcoin is trading around $86,000 today, and today is a genuinely big day — a large batch of options contracts expire, which could push price sharply in either direction.

🎯 What's at stake: Analysts say BTC is stuck in a tight range between $85,000 and $88,000 right now, largely because of how these options are positioned. If the price dips toward $85K, buying pressure tends to kick in and support it — but if that floor breaks, the drop could accelerate.

📊 The bigger picture: The crypto market cap sits at $2.97 trillion, up 0.5% today, with the Fear & Greed Index holding steady at 71 (Greed) — same as yesterday.

⚠️ Why today matters: With sell walls at $88K and $90K, and thin support below $84K, today's options expiry could open the door to a move toward $95,000 — or a drop below $80,000, depending on which way it breaks.

⚠️ This is a genuinely volatile setup — sharp moves are possible either way today. Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.

$BTC

$NIL Update 📊

Nillion jumped 43.7% today, trading around $0.13 — one of the biggest movers in the market.

📊 Real activity behind it: Trading volume hit $173.5 million in 24 hours — solid, genuine trading interest, not just a thin, easily-manipulated move.

🌍 Market context: The broader crypto market actually dipped today (down ~2.8% overall, BTC around $84,000), which makes NIL's strong gain stand out even more.

😃 Despite the dip, overall sentiment remains in "Greed" territory (Fear & Greed at 71), unchanged from yesterday — traders are still broadly optimistic.

⚠️ Sharp, fast gainers like this can be volatile and reverse quickly. Crypto is highly volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.
