Odaily: Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei met with senior commanders of the armed forces and issued a directive: maintaining wise combat readiness and confronting the enemy with powerful force is a necessary condition for achieving "maximum deterrence." He ordered that an effective response must be given immediately to any threat at any level and in any form, without geographic limitation. Mojtaba emphasized that if the enemy launches another military or terrorist attack, it will be the Iranian armed forces and the Iranian people who decide when and under what conditions the conflict ends.
He also stressed the need to strengthen the military intelligence system, deepen indigenous defense capabilities in both the "theoretical" and "tactical" domains, leverage new technologies to enhance modern national defense and security capabilities, while strengthening spiritual strength and fighting will, and continuously and unremittingly safeguarding the living needs and logistical support of the armed forces. His directive also called for updating target lists to ensure that all types of tangible and intangible assets of the hostile forces of the United States and Israel fall within the strike range of the Iranian armed forces.
Mojtaba expressed gratitude for the firm stance demonstrated by the resistance fronts of various countries, and pointed out that unity across all domains is a decisive variable with strategic significance in shaping a new political and security order in the West Asia region.

Odaily reports that the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has been negative for 38 consecutive days, with the latest reading at -0.2434%.

Previously, the index stood at 0.0052% on August 24, turning positive for the first time since May 19 and ending a 97-day negative premium streak.
Odaily reports that according to Darkfost monitoring, Bitcoin tested $76,000 yesterday, putting pressure on some short-term holders. Over the past 24 hours, short-term holders transferred more than 36,600 BTC in a loss state to exchanges. Binance's short-term holder activity over the past 7 days remains elevated, with the 7-day cumulative inflow rising to its highest level since October, reaching 45,400 BTC, despite an exploit occurring during the period that led to BTC outflows. Darkfost stated that the increase in inflows and the rising number of loss-making BTC transferred to exchanges indicate that short-term holders have come under pressure in recent days. He noted that intensified short-term holder capitulation typically means the correction is approaching an extreme, and short-term momentum may shift accordingly.
Odaily reported: According to Iran's Mehr News Agency, Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said in an interview that compared with before, Iran's defensive capabilities have not only improved, but have become significantly stronger and more sophisticated. Today, we possess stronger defensive capabilities. Our offensive capabilities have also been significantly enhanced. We have made improvements in both the destructive power and speed of our missiles. Our missiles perform better than before, and our ability to penetrate enemy air defense systems has also been enhanced. If confrontation occurs again, Iran's response will be more powerful, more devastating, and more punitive than ever before, and the United States and the Israeli regime will suffer greater losses.

Odaily: Cryptocurrency exchange Binance said it will publish the results of its proof of reserves on November 2. Binance stated on October 30 that it has recovered approximately 80% of the stolen assets and is still processing the remainder; the proof-of-reserves snapshot is planned to be taken after the buyback is completed. Some users on Platform X have questioned that taking a snapshot after the buyback cannot reflect the previous asset shortfall, and the related insider-job claims currently have no solid evidence to support them.
Blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs attributed the theft to the North Korean hacker group Tradertraitor and said it has high confidence in this judgment. TRM Labs stated that the attackers may have controlled Binance's hot wallet signing system, and the funds were transferred out via ten blockchains in about 20 minutes; Elliptic said that a North Korea-linked group may be involved, but no government or law enforcement agency has yet confirmed the attribution.
Binance said it has discovered other points of intrusion and that there is no evidence that wallet private keys were leaked; co-CEO Richard Teng stated that only Binance's own hot wallet was compromised and that customer funds were unaffected. Binance said withdrawals are expected to resume in stages within about 34 hours, after which it will publish the reserves report and a full technical post-mortem. (Bitcoin.com News)
