🔐 CryptoBilis-linked wallet routes 464 ETH to Tornado Cash
A wallet connected to the CryptoBilis thefts has moved 464 ETH through Tornado Cash, according to Ethereum on-chain records.
The funds were routed via an intermediary address and four deposit wallets before reaching the mixer. The source wallet reportedly retained approximately 700 ETH following the transfer.
Tornado Cash remains a common tool for obfuscating on-chain fund flows in crypto theft cases, complicating tracing efforts by investigators.

💰 XRP Ledger patches decade-old bug that could mint unlimited XRP
The XRP Ledger has disclosed and patched a critical vulnerability dating to 2015 that could have allowed attackers to create spendable XRP beyond the network's fixed supply — effectively minting new coins out of thin air for just a few hundred XRP in reserves.
The flaw resided in the payment engine code handling settlements across XRPL's built-in decentralized exchange. Researchers demonstrated that a payment could generate spendable XRP without the sender actually funding it. The bug was fixed in xrpld software and an emergency release was issued. A second vulnerability, affecting the network's Batch transaction feature, could have disrupted transaction validation.
Both flaws were officially disclosed on October 9, 2026. Neither appears to have been exploited before the patch. The fixes were applied without a hard fork, and the network continued operating normally throughout.
🟠 Bain Capital Leads $37.5M Round in Bitcoin Life Insurer
Meanwhile, a life insurance company licensed to operate entirely in Bitcoin, has raised $37.5 million in a new funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto. The raise brings the firm's total capital raised to over $180 million.
Meanwhile offers Bitcoin-denominated life insurance products, positioning itself at the intersection of traditional financial services and the Bitcoin ecosystem. The funding round was announced on October 8.
The investment reflects continued institutional interest in Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure beyond trading and custody.
💰 XRP Ledger Overtakes Ethereum in Tokenized Commodities
XRP Ledger has surpassed Ethereum to become the leading blockchain for tokenized commodity growth in 2026, marking a significant shift in the real-world asset landscape.
The development expands XRPL's profile beyond its established role as a cross-border payments settlement network, adding tokenized commodities as a growing use case on the chain.
Tokenized real-world assets have become one of the most competitive sectors in blockchain infrastructure, with multiple networks vying for institutional issuers and liquidity.
🟠 Bitcoin Amsterdam 2026 set for November at the Sugar Factory
Europe's leading annual Bitcoin conference returns to Amsterdam's Sugar Factory on November 5–6, 2026, bringing together institutional investors, regulators, and developers under one roof.
The event will focus on banks and funds adding bitcoin to their balance sheets, policymakers shaping crypto regulation, and builders driving global Bitcoin adoption — reflecting the increasingly institutional character of the European Bitcoin space.
🟠 6 Million Bitcoin Exposed as AI Cryptography Warnings Grow
Over 6 million Bitcoin are currently held behind exposed public keys, according to the latest data from Glassnode co-founder, raising concerns about long-term wallet security.
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has called for preparations against potential AI-driven attacks on wallet cryptography. Exposed public keys — visible on-chain after a transaction is signed — are theoretically vulnerable to future cryptographic attacks if sufficiently advanced computing, including AI, becomes capable of deriving private keys from them.
The warning adds to a broader conversation in the crypto security community about quantum and AI threats to existing elliptic curve cryptography, which underpins Bitcoin and most major blockchains.
