The U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network has issued an order effectively cutting MEXC Global off from the U.S. financial system. FinCEN alleges that the crypto exchange facilitated at least $16 billion in transactions connected to sanctions evasion, cybercrime and other illicit activity between May 2021 and May 2026, including flows linked to Iran, North Korea and Russia. The order prohibits U.S. financial institutions from transmitting funds to or from MEXC and is scheduled to take effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Treasury said MEXC processed more than $1 billion in daily transactions and held approximately $5 billion in reserves as of September 2026, making the action a significant escalation in U.S. scrutiny of offshore cryptocurrency exchanges.

Bitcoin erased Wednesday's post-election rebound Thursday as a technology stock selloff spread to cryptocurrencies, triggering hundreds of millions in forced liquidations.

Bitcoin fell to about $76,500, down nearly 5% and back near levels seen before Wednesday's jump above $80,000. Ethereum shed more than 5%, while other major tokens suffered comparable losses. Roughly 90% of the top 100 cryptocurrencies were in the red during the selloff, while roughly $428 million in crypto longs were liquidated in one hour.

Wall Street offered no shelter. The S&P 500 lost about 2.6% in late-morning trading, while the Nasdaq sank nearly 4%, approaching a correction, or a 10% drop from its peak.

The election is part of the answer, but anxiety over AI spending and interest rates is making the damage worse.

The election rally meets the AI selloff
Democrats' sweep of Congress initially rattled investors expecting tougher oversight of industries favored by President Donald Trump. Stocks rallied Wednesday as traders bet gridlock would limit major policy changes and falling oil prices would ease inflation. Bitwise Europe analyst André Dragosch also told Decrypt the Democratic sweep was "largely priced in."

Thursday brought a different interpretation. Investors weighed what Democratic control might mean for the data-center boom, particularly in states where voters oppose rising electricity costs and new facilities.

And the new political configuration is already moving things. Voters in at least 29 U.S. jurisdictions backed restrictions on data-center development, although not every measure is binding. UBS estimates potential pauses could threaten 30% of planned U.S. data-center capacity additions in 2028, per Reuters.

"We suspect there is going to be some scrutiny on this aggressive AI buildout," Swissquote senior analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya told Reuters.

Chipmakers and AI infrastructure companies took the hit first. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped about 8%, while CoreWeave and Nebius fell by double digits. Tesla also tumbled roughly 9.5%, extending losses after Elon Musk spent heavily backing Republican candidates. Investors were also questioning the returns on massive AI investments.

The S&P 500 had the biggest bearish intraday movement in months, dropping almost 4% in minutes.


"The market's moving from the promise of AI to the price of AI," Ted Parkhill, chief executive of Incline Investment Management, told Reuters.

The political shift also threatens crypto's ambitions in Washington. Democratic control complicates efforts to revive the stalled Clarity Act, a proposed federal rulebook for digital assets. The new Congress will not take office until January. Politics alone cannot explain Bitcoin losing thousands of dollars in an hour.

Why Bitcoin's rebound fell apart
Wednesday's rally looked dramatic, but much of its buying pressure came from traders closing losing bets against Bitcoin. About $378 million in short positions were liquidated in one hour as Bitcoin pushed above $80,000, according to CoinGlass data.

Today’s reversal flipped the liquidation machinery in the opposite direction. Exchanges automatically close underfunded longs as prices fall, generating more selling and the enormous red candles visible on Bitcoin's hourly chart.



Crypto was already vulnerable before the election. The market had lost roughly $300 billion in value over the previous month, amid concerns about AI spending, rising borrowing costs and the fallout from last week's multibillion-dollar Binance hack.

Traders also expect another Federal Reserve rate increase in December as inflation persists. Friday's October jobs report could alter those bets; higher rates generally hurt demand for speculative investments.

Technically, Bitcoin's still-forming daily candle is threatening a bearish engulfing pattern, potentially swallowing Wednesday's green body and erasing the breakout in a single session.

The hourly chart shows selling through $79,000 to near $76,100. The next test is $75,000, while reclaiming $80,000 could ease the pressure—but Thursday's candle has not closed, so the pattern remains unconfirmed.

Samsung Wallet’s Stablecoin Account is now live for eligible U.S. Galaxy users across roughly 82 million compatible devices. The feature lets users buy, hold, send and receive USDC on Solana directly inside Samsung Wallet, with Coinbase powering USDC as the default dollar stablecoin and Bastion providing regulated custody infrastructure. Users can transfer USDC to compatible wallets and eligible bank accounts in more than 60 countries, moving stablecoins from a specialist crypto product toward a mainstream consumer payments and remittance tool. The service requires a supported Galaxy device running Android 13 or later, a Samsung Account, identity verification and biometric authentication; New York residents are excluded from the initial rollout.

On 29th and 30th October 2026, Polymarket and Binance each dealt with a separate, publicly acknowledged security incident. In both cases, stolen funds in native POL arrived at addresses on Polygon PoS. At the request of the affected parties, the Polygon PoS block producers (anonymous-91 to anonymous-94) added those addresses to the Bor transaction block list.

5 attacker-controlled addresses hold about 70.49M POL: about 23.86M POL (4 addresses) from the Polymarket incident and about 46.63M POL (1 address) from the Binance incident. The funds cannot move, but nothing in the current setup lets them be returned either.

This proposal asks for a coordinated hard fork that, at a fixed block, sets the native POL balance of each listed attacker-controlled address to zero and credits the same amount to a recovery address that Polymarket or Binance has designated and verified. The change is limited to native POL balances in the addresses listed in this PIP. It is an extreme action that should not be reproduced commonly. Section 5 of the Specification and the Rationale state the conditions under which it is justified here.

CFTC Chairman Selig Releases Statement on Equity Perpetual Futures
November 03, 2026

WASHINGTON — CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig today released a statement announcing that perpetual futures contracts on individual equity securities can begin trading for the first time on designated contract markets that are dually registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as notice-registered national securities exchanges to trade security futures products. 

Key excerpts from Chairman Selig’s statement:

“Today, perpetual futures contracts on individual equity securities (the ‘Equity Perps’) can begin trading for the first time on CFTC-registered exchanges.
…

“This expansion marks a significant step towards allowing U.S. market participants, consistent with applicable law, to avail themselves of the advantages of perpetual futures that have led to their emergence as widely sought tools for risk-management and price-discovery. I believe that bringing these types of innovative products into our regulated markets ensures that American investors and traders can access these products within the protections of the CFTC’s proven regulatory framework, rather than being forced to turn to offshore, and often unregulated, venues.
…

“The Equity Perps build on the foundation of the [Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000] and the [CFTC-SEC Memorandum of Understanding]. For too long, regulatory uncertainty left innovative products, such as security futures and equity perpetual futures, stranded in what SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins has aptly described as a regulatory ‘no man’s land’ due to a lack of harmonization between the agencies. The CFTC and SEC have turned the page on that era, and are committed to delivering regulatory clarity for innovative products and a clear path to market, rather than more casualties of jurisdictional disputes.”
