Bitcoin Depot reports $3.6M theft after corporate IT breach
Hackers breached Bitcoin Depot's internal systems on March 23, stealing roughly 50.903 BTC valued at about $3.6 million. The intrusion was confined to internal wallets and did not impact customer‑facing platforms. Investigations continue into additional costs.

Standard Chartered digital‑asset head Geoffrey Kendrick says a short‑term drop in Bitcoin below $100,000 is now “inevitable” after the Oct. 10 selloff erased a recent push toward his near‑term $135,000 target. He identifies gold‑to‑Bitcoin flows, signs the Fed may halt quantitative tightening, and Bitcoin’s hold above its 50‑week moving average as triggers that would mark a trough and set up the next leg higher. Kendrick argues the decline could be the last opportunity to buy Bitcoin for under six figures, turning a macro‑driven pullback—fueled by U.S.–China trade fears and tighter liquidity—into a strategic entry point for investors.

Dankrad Feist's Ethereum departure situation was a big deal because of the loss of talent itself yes, but mainly because it exposed three major concerns about the biggest smart contracts chain: 1/4

Stablecoin transactions on @spark will soon be private, gasless (pay tiny fees in the stable you’re moving), and benefit from Bitcoin’s neutrality, true decentralization and trustlessness (unilateral exit to L1).
DEX will flip CEX. People see how powerful Bitcoin and Ethereum are, but they overlook the very thing that makes them so powerful: Decentralization. That's the key. Change my mind.
$EXK May regret it but closing up the rest of my position here. This was my largest recent addition so it's nice to get a solid buffer in there especially with a lot of sectors currently bleeding. https://t.co/9KCsShxwRB
