Odaily News: Fission has announced the completion of a $10 million Series A funding round, led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Circle Ventures, Borderless Capital, and Ari Rubenstein, among others. The round was completed in September, with the valuation undisclosed. Fission primarily provides liquidity services for tokenized funds, acting as a buyer to help investors sell their fund shares without waiting for the fund to process redemptions; after users connect their digital wallets and submit sell requests, Fission handles the relevant legal and transaction processes. CEO Jonathan Shaffer stated that for products that typically take around 200 days to sell, investors can sell immediately after paying a fee, with settlement times reduced to 90 seconds or less. Fission was founded in 2024, with a founding team that includes former employees of Point72 and Securitize. Its clients are mainly institutional investors and organizations holding on-chain assets, such as hedge funds holding tokenized private credit or equity assets, crypto institutions managing treasuries, and stablecoin issuers allocating reserves to yield-bearing tokenized investment products.
Odaily News — On October 15, Binance announced that its tokenized stock product bStocks has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), making it the fastest tokenized stock product globally to reach this scale. Since its launch on June 11, 2026, bStocks achieved this milestone in just about four months.
As of now, bStocks' cumulative trading volume has exceeded $40 billion, with average daily trading volume surpassing $300 million and nearly 100 assets listed. Since launch, the 1:1 conversion volume between directly held stocks and bStocks has reached $6 billion. Binance stated that bStocks can be used as collateral in eligible scenarios and supports 24/7 trading, on-chain settlement, and wallet-to-wallet transfers. As asset scale, trading volume, and use cases continue to expand, bStocks is driving tokenized stocks from a single trading asset toward collateral and broader crypto financial applications, further exploring the integration of traditional equity assets with on-chain financial infrastructure.
Odaily reports: According to on-chain analyst Ember Monitoring, PUMP has dropped 16% over the past 24 hours, and one address may have contributed to today's PUMP decline.

Due to selling all at once, the address incurred 5% slippage; had the sale been split into multiple transactions, it was estimated that $5.78 million could have been obtained, whereas the single transaction yielded only $5.483 million — roughly $300K less.
Odaily reports that AllianceDAO co-founder QwQiao posted on X, jokingly discussing the valuation logic behind Anthropic's potential IPO. He said that when calculating Anthropic's expected value, investors should also consider the probability of AI bringing about either extreme prosperity or catastrophic consequences.
QwQiao argues that if AI propels humanity into an era of extreme material abundance, money will lose its meaning; if AI leads to human extinction, money will likewise no longer matter. He jokingly put the combined probability of these two scenarios at 50%, with the remaining 50% being the scenario where humans continue to work and money remains important.
Based on this assumption, QwQiao joked that all target valuations for Anthropic should simply be cut in half.

About 80% of losses were concentrated in the above incidents, while 98 incidents resulted in losses below $10 million, with a median of $670,000.
Smart contract incidents were the most common attack type, involving 71 incidents and causing $228 million in losses. Q3 was the most severe quarter for losses since Q1 2025, when a $1.4 billion loss by Bybit pushed the quarterly total to $1.6 billion.
Approximately $387 million of Q3 losses were returned or reversed, accounting for about 33% of gross losses. Among these, about $272 million was returned in the Liquid Network incident; the Tectonic incident reversed approximately $111.2 million in lending impact by rolling back 114 minutes of blockchain history, and Circle and Tether also froze approximately $340,000 related to funds stolen from Bitget.
