ApeChain, the Yuga Labs-backed Layer 3 network built for the ApeCoin ecosystem, celebrated its first anniversary last month. After a brief rise in on-chain value and activity, ApeChain has been mostly in decline since its launch, while its native token ApeCoin (APE) has also struggled to regain its NFT-era highs. When it launched at ApeFest in Hong Kong on Oct. 20 last year, the project promised a variety of features such as fast transactions, non-fungible token (NFT) staking, and multiple utility-cases for APE, which was launched two years prior to the network's debut.At first, the launch of ApeChain — which was initially proposed to the ApeCoin DAO by a team including leads at Horizen Labs, Arbitrum developer Offchain Labs, and the Arbitrum Foundation — sparked a surge in activity as the network was supported by “Banana Bill,” an initiative with over 100 million APE tokens aimed at incentivizing developers and apps.To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

The cryptocurrency market has been struck by another wave of red candles, plunging 4.1% in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have all suffered notable declines, with all large market-cap cryptocurrencies falling below support levels that held last week. The downturn gained momentum after claims surfaced on X suggesting that Wintermute, one of the industry’s largest market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over alleged issues linked to the October 10 crash. Rumors Of A Lawsuit Against Binance Add To Anxiety Market unease deepened after rumors circulated on X claiming that Wintermute, one of the industry’s leading market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over losses incurred during the October 10 crash. The speculation began when a user known as WhalePump Reborn claimed that Wintermute had lost hundreds of millions and was preparing legal action, describing the situation as “not going to be pretty.” This was followed by another detailed post from a popular X account known as StarPlatinum, which addressed rumors that Wintermute was pursuing legal action against Binance over what it called unfair ADL executions during the massive liquidation event in early October. As noted by the post, Binance’s system overload during the crash led to automatic deleveraging (ADL) at extreme price points, causing an estimated $19 billion to $20 billion in liquidations in just 24 hours, the largest single-day wipeout in crypto history. Notably, Wintermute’s portfolio across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana fell by about $65 million following the crash, though no on-chain patterns indicated forced liquidations or large withdrawals. Binance, for its part, had acknowledged system overloads at the time but denied any preferential treatment or technical fault that could have led to any unfair losses. Wintermute Founder Refutes Claims Of Lawsuit As panic spread through the market, Wintermute’s founder, Evgeny Gaevoy, took to X to dispel the rumors entirely. Quoting an earlier post from October 11, Gaevoy reiterated that Wintermute had never planned to sue Binance and saw no reason to do so in the future. “We never had plans to sue Binance, nor see any reason to do it in future,” Gaevoy said on X. “I should probably ask to make a note of all the people spreading baseless rumors, but most of people believing these have goldfish memory capacity, so I wont,” he added. He also described the circulating claims as complete bullshit in a direct response to the WhalePump Reborn post. The Wintermute rumors are part of various factors that are causing the price of cryptocurrencies to crash. Another factor could be the Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinting that the central bank may not pursue additional rate cuts anytime soon. Adding to the selling pressure were outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to data from Farside Investors, Spot Bitcoin ETFs started November with outflows on Monday, bringing the trend to four consecutive days of outflows. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $104,502, down by 2.8% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading at $3,490, down 6.0% in 24 hours. Dogecoin is trading at $0.1618, down 6.8% in 24 hours.

Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy has dismissed widespread speculation that his firm intends to sue Binance over losses from October’s historic crypto crash, stating “literally nothing changed” since his earlier clarifications and the company never had such plans. The clarification comes after days of social media speculation linking the market maker to potential litigation over auto-deleveraging executions during the October 10-11 flash crash that liquidated $19 billion in positions and briefly erased $600 billion from the crypto market cap. literally nothing changed since this tweet and we never had plans to sue binance, nor see any reason to do it in futureI should probably ask to make a note of all the people spreading baseless rumors, but most of people believing these have goldfish memory capacity, so I wont https://t.co/0oHShby0Uk— wishful_cynic (@EvgenyGaevoy) November 3, 2025 Gaevoy labeled the rumors as “larp” when directly asked whether he had signed a non-disclosure agreement with Binance or coordinated with other market makers to pursue joint legal action. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao amplified the denial by quote-tweeting Gaevoy’s post, writing, “If someone made you believe otherwise, it’s time to click unfollow.“October Crash Stir ADL ControversyThe October 10 selloff was triggered by President Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, creating panic across global markets. Bitcoin plummeted to $104,782 during the 48-hour period, while Ethereum and major altcoins lost between 15% and 20% of their value. Binance’s trading infrastructure buckled under the strain, with API failures returning HTTP 503 errors and Reduce-Only orders being rejected during peak volatility.The exchange’s Auto-Deleveraging mechanism was activated, resulting in short liquidations at prices up to five times the prevailing market rates. Binance spent $188 million from its insurance fund and issued $283 million in refunds for oracle-related depegs, though ADL losses were excluded from compensation.Gaevoy had previously stated in a video that Wintermute was “ADL’d at completely ridiculous prices” and mentioned that the firm was evaluating legal options. These remarks fueled speculation about the lawsuit.

No large withdrawals exceeding $10 million or liquidation patterns involving Aave or Compound were detected; however, a single 1,000 BTC inflow worth approximately $61 million occurred on October 4, just days before the crash.Market Structure Under ScrutinyThe October event exposed structural vulnerabilities in crypto derivatives markets, where notional liquidation figures vastly overstate actual capital losses. Speaking with Cryptonews, Sam Seo, chairman of the Kaia DLT Foundation, said the actual capital lost by traders is likely “in the range of 5% to 15% of the headline number,” translating to between $950 million and $2.85 billion in real losses. He warned that “the remaining 85-95% was simply phantom leverage, synthetic exposure that was rapidly unwound.“ Most people on Crypto Twitter freaked out over the $19B in liquidations. But real trader losses are far smaller than that, may be only 15% of the total figure.#CryptoCrash #Liquidations #BTChttps://t.co/d0IJDFeaNC— Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) October 17, 2025 Bitcoin futures open interest collapsed by more than 30% during the selloff, erasing over $10 billion in notional positions in one of the largest single-day declines on record, comparable to the May 2021 liquidation and the FTX unwind in 2022.Patrick Heusser, head of lending and TradFi at Sentora, also explained that “liquidations [are] a speedometer for deleveraging intensity, not a profit and loss statement,” noting that exchanges settle these events using margin and insurance funds. Despite the chaos, Bitcoin recovered to $114,000 by October 13, supported by $420 million in spot ETF inflows that helped stabilize prices.‘Uptober’ Turns Red for First Time Since 2018According to Reuters, October marked Bitcoin’s first monthly loss since 2018, snapping a seven-year winning streak and ending nearly 5% lower for the month despite reaching an all-time high above $126,000 just days before the crash. The reversal came as broader risk appetite weakened, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pushing back against market expectations for continued rate cuts and a government shutdown blocking crucial economic data. Analyst Scott Melker has earlier called Bitcoin’s resilience “a small miracle” after the liquidation, stating “I don’t think we’re entering a bear market” and noting “this isn’t 2017. Nor is it 2021. What happened last week was purely structural.“Bitcoin opened November trading at $106,961, down 0.7% as whale profit-taking and continued ETF outflows pressured prices below $107,000. For the first time in seven months, institutional demand has fallen below the pace of new coin issuance, indicating that large buyers are stepping back.Source: X/@caprioleioMarkets now price a roughly 70% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in December, down from 94% a week earlier, as policymakers deliver mixed signals on growth and inflation.Analysts remain cautiously optimistic that November could restore typical seasonal strength, as Bitcoin has historically averaged returns exceeding 40% during the month.Speaking with Cryptonews, MEXC Research Chief Analyst Shawn Young noted that “accumulation of coins by major market participants, the trade agreement between Washington and Beijing, and moderately positive stock market performance are paving the way for a possible recovery in November.“VALR CEO Farzam Ehsani also warned that the market structure remains fragile, stating, “any change in the Fed’s tone or a new round of geopolitical tension could dramatically shift the balance of power,” keeping Bitcoin likely range-bound between $107,000 and $113,000 as participants await clearer macro signals.The post Wintermute Denies Binance Lawsuit Plans Amid Market Maker Rumors appeared first on Cryptonews.

[PRESS RELEASE – Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 3rd, 2025] GrantiX, the world’s first sustainable, multi-chain impact platform bridging traditional charities with blockchain donors, announced the upcoming launch of its mainnet ecosystem, uniting the $1.57 trillion impact-investing market with the transparency and scalability of Web3. Built on Arbitrum and designed to be blockchain-agnostic, GrantiX enables users to fund and track real-world social impact projects directly on-chain. Its AI-driven ecosystem connects verified social entrepreneurs with crypto investors through an integrated DeFi, SocialFi, and gamified Learn-to-Earn model, turning charitable giving into measurable, revenue-positive impact. “GrantiX is a natural progression for a world ready to take responsibility for its own quality of life,” said Dr. Konstantin Livshits, founder of GrantiX. “Blockchain finally gives us the tools to make philanthropy transparent, efficient, and scalable. GrantiX was born at the intersection of social entrepreneurship and investment, uniting people who create change with those who fund it.” Unlike traditional nonprofits or hype-driven Web3 projects that depend on grants or token speculation, GrantiX sustains itself through DeFi and CeFi integrations, impact staking, and transaction-based donations. The platform supports round-up contributions, decentralized endowments, and tokenization advisory services for social enterprises, bringing sustainable funding to causes worldwide. GrantiX’s technology has already processed more than 15,000 donations totaling $200,000, distributed $50,000 in grants to verified social entrepreneurs, and attracted more than 10,000 users organically without paid marketing. Its MVP is fully developed, with all smart contracts audited by CertiK, ensuring top-tier security ahead of its December mainnet launch. “GrantiX’s success will become the best proof that Web3 and blockchain emerged not in vain,” said Anton Yanushkevich, CEO of GrantiX, an advisor with over 10 years of experience in Web3, and the founder of Cryptemic FZ-LLC. “We are creating a transparent, efficient, and decentralized infrastructure that channels global resources into measurable good, restoring faith in what technology can achieve for humanity.” The platform’s AI Evaluation and Risk Management Layer adds an analytical backbone to its mission by assessing project efficiency, analyzing user behavior to match funding with causes likely to gain traction, and flagging early risks such as fund misallocation or reputational issues. This transparency-first approach ensures that every cent donated through GrantiX is traceable, verifiable, and aligned with impact performance. With over $850,000 in angel funding secured, GrantiX’s ecosystem already includes more than 40 active projects addressing causes from disaster relief and mental health to child welfare, seniors, animals, and environmental sustainability. The next phase includes IDO and IEO presales, CEX listings, and a global marketing rollout backed by more than 50 Web3 partners and ambassadors. Industry analysts view GrantiX as a key bridge between off-chain philanthropy, which exceeded $592 billion in 2024 (Giving USA), and emerging crypto philanthropy, which surpassed $1 billion in donations according to The Giving Block’s 2025 report. By combining transparency, AI analytics, and multi-chain accessibility, GrantiX brings new efficiency to a sector where traditional aid models are under strain amid declining government support. The December launch positions GrantiX to redefine the intersection of blockchain, AI, and impact investing, creating what the team calls an “impact layer for Web3,” a model where doing good becomes part of digital utility itself. About GrantiX GrantiX is a sustainable, multi-chain impact platform connecting donors, social entrepreneurs, and investors on-chain. Through its AI-powered Web3 ecosystem, GrantiX brings transparency and efficiency to global impact investing.

Veteran decentralized exchange (DEX) Balancer v2 suffered a major hack on Monday, losing over $128 million and raising questions about whether users can trust even long-established, audited decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.On-chain data showed roughly $128 million in digital assets sent to the hacker’s wallet across multiple blockchains, including 6,587 WETH (~$24.5 million), 6,851 osETH (~$26.9 million), and 4,260 wstETH (~$19.3 million), according to PeckShield. This marks Balancer’s largest hack to date.The losses affected several networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Sonic, and Berachain. Balancer’s native token, BAL, fell 11.1% to $0.87, according to CoinGecko. Meanwhile, the protocol’s total value locked (TVL) fell from $776 million to $406 million over the past 24 hours, according to DeFiLlama.To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

One of Ethereum’s leading DeFi protocols, Balancer, which also functions as an established automated market maker (AMM) on the network, suffered a significant exploit today (November 3), resulting in losses exceeding $70M. On-chain data shows that multiple Balancer liquidity pools were drained in rapid succession, with the stolen tokens quickly transferred to a newly created wallet controlled by the attacker. We’re aware of a potential exploit impacting Balancer v2 pools. Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority. We’ll share verified updates and next steps as soon as we have more information. — Balancer (@Balancer) November 3, 2025 What we Know About the Balancer Hack So Far The attack targeted Balancer’s V2 vaults and liquidity pools, exploiting a vulnerability in smart contract interactions. Preliminary analysis from on-chain investigators points to a maliciously deployed contract that manipulated Vault calls during pool initialization. Improper authorization and callback handling allowed the attacker to bypass safeguards. This enabled unauthorized swaps or balance manipulations across interconnected pools, resulting in the rapid depletion of assets. The exploiter initiated a series of transactions starting with a key Ethereum mainnet transaction (0xd155207261712c35fa3d472ed1e51bfcd816e616dd4f517fa5959836f5b48569), which funneled assets to a new wallet under their control. Funds were then consolidated, likely for laundering via mixers or bridges. Balancer’s composable design, where pools interact heavily, amplified the flaw. Similar issues have plagued AMMs before, often tied to how they handle deflationary tokens or pool rebalancing. Full forensic details are still emerging, with auditors like PeckShield and Nansen involved. There is no evidence of a private key compromise; this was a pure smart contract exploit. The swift execution of the transfers suggests the attacker had a deep understanding of Balancer’s smart contracts, potentially exploiting a flaw in how the platform handles swaps or manages pool balances. DISCOVER: The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now Balancer Reacts, Community on Edge At the time of writing, Balancer has posted just one update, confirming the hack and assuring the community an investigation is underway. The DeFi protocols post on X reads: “We’re aware of a potential exploit impacting Balancer v2 pools. Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority. We’ll share verified updates and next steps as soon as we have more information.” The lack of communication has fueled uncertainty within the DeFi community, as users scramble to understand the scope and cause of the breach. Blockchain analysts have advised traders to refrain from interacting with Balancer pools until further information is released, warning that additional vulnerabilities may still be present. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Meanwhile, Balancer’s native token, BAL, has declined by over 15% in the past 24 hours, due to both shaky market conditions and investor unease with the latest eight-figure exploit. Worryingly, this is not Balancer’s first encounter with hackers. In fact, the platform has now suffered three major security incidents in five years, an unsettling record for one of DeFi’s longest-running protocols. In 2020, attackers exploited Balancer’s handling of deflationary tokens, draining roughly $500,000. Then, in 2023, another vulnerability in its “boosted pools” led to $900,000 in losses despite prior security warnings. The latest $70M attack dwarfs those previous incidents, making it Balancer’s most severe exploit to date and one of the largest DeFi hacks of 2025.

As of now, over $128 million has been drained by the hacker across multiple chains to which the Balancer protocol is forked. Over $99M has now been stolen from Ethereum, while $12.8M has been drained from Berachain, $6.8M from Arbitrum, $3.9M from Base, $3.4M from Sonic, $1.58M from Optimism, and $232K from Polygon. The hack on the smaller chains represents a significant percentage of the network’s TVL (Total Value Locked). For example, per DefiLlama data, Sonic has just $150M in TVL and has been drained for $3.4M, approximately 2% of the total value locked on the network. It is concerning from an optics point of view that the attack appears to be still ongoing, with more funds being lost even now, and no update from the Balancer team since 10:00 UTC.

Unfortunately, crypto hacks happen all the time. Every time funds are stolen from a top-tier dApp, it becomes a huge morale dent for users and developers. The Bybit hack garnered negative press but subsided quickly when the exchange assured the community that it would continue processing transactions regardless of the $1.3 billion loss. Today, however, is yet another sad day for Balancer and DeFi. Earlier today, Balancer, one of the OG DeFi protocols, was hit (again), and the results are bad, not for the dapp but for the entire DeFi scene and Ethereum layer-2s. Before today, Balancer managed over $775 million, but the protocol is quickly bleeding. We’re aware of a potential exploit impacting Balancer v2 pools. Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority. We’ll share verified updates and next steps as soon as we have more information. — Balancer (@Balancer) November 3, 2025 DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 Balancer Hack: Over $120M And Rising Lost To understand what’s going on, we must first know what Balancer does. For beginners, Balancer is a decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol on Ethereum. From the dapp, developers on other Ethereum-compatible chains can also build programmable liquidity solutions. That you can fork Balancer V2’s code is a bonus. If you don’t have liquidity, you can supply assets and allow users to trade them while earning a yield from any custom liquidity pool straight from Balancer. But here’s the problem: Balancer only relied on a single core contract to manage all vaults. The design was intended to boost gas efficiency, but this became the single largest flaw, now affecting not only Balancer but also all other deployments that relied on its code.
