Cardano Survives Chain Split After Malformed Delegation Exploit, FBI Joins Investigation

Cardano Survives Chain Split After Malformed Delegation Exploit, FBI Joins Investigation

The post Cardano Survives Chain Split After Malformed Delegation Exploit, FBI Joins Investigation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano faced a rare and serious network disruption this week after a malformed ADA delegation transaction triggered a long-standing code flaw and caused the blockchain to split into parallel chains. The issue, sparked by what the attacker described as a personal AI-assisted challenge, forced exchanges to pause ADA transfers, caused wallet failures on affected nodes, and pushed Cardano into one of the most high-profile recovery efforts in its history. Founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed that the FBI is now investigating the incident as a potential federal cybercrime. Despite the severity of the disruption, the network eventually recovered within 24 hours. Cardano’s response included emergency hotfixes, rapid coordination among stake pool operators, and strong community mobilization. Hoskinson dismissed claims that the exploit halted the network and highlighted the resilience of the system under stress. Make sure to share it when the FUD comes rolling in pic.twitter.com/dt3WSVgYvO — Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) November 23, 2025 How the Exploit Happened The incident began with an obscure deserialization flaw that has quietly existed in Cardano’s codebase since 2022. The bug allows a delegation transaction containing an oversized hash to behave differently depending on node version:  Updated nodes accept the malformed transaction  Legacy nodes reject it This mismatch creates a scenario every blockchain wants to avoid, honest nodes disagree about chain validity. At around 08:00 UTC on November 21, the crafted transaction went live. Instead of standard rejection, it forced nodes to diverge:  Newer nodes processed the transaction and moved ahead  Older nodes stayed on the intended chain  Validators began producing blocks on two separate histories For a short period, Cardano existed as two different chains operating in parallel. Chain Split and Immediate Impact The effects were fast and visible:  Around 30% to 40% of nodes followed the poisoned chain  The rest continued on the healthy chain…

Trading Moment: The probability of a Fed rate cut in December has increased; Bitcoin aims to test the $93,000 resistance level, while Ethereum strives to reclaim the $2,900 mark.

Trading Moment: The probability of a Fed rate cut in December has increased; Bitcoin aims to test the $93,000 resistance level, while Ethereum strives to reclaim the $2,900 mark.

Daily market data review and trend analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market Observation Market sentiment regarding whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in December is fluctuating wildly. Initially, due to slowing inflation and weak labor data, the market widely expected a rate cut, but subsequent hawkish statements from Fed officials significantly cooled this expectation, with the probability of a rate cut briefly falling below 30%. However, dovish signals from New York Fed President Williams on Friday brought the probability of a rate cut back above 70%. Currently, five of the 12 voting members favor maintaining the current interest rate, creating a close race and making the December rate decision highly uncertain. Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at Bank of America, points out that the current liquidity crunch has impacted multiple asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, credit, and bank stocks. Their weakness is sending signals similar to those of December 2018, potentially forcing the Federal Reserve to shift towards easing. Looking back at 2025, the 316 interest rate cuts by central banks globally fueled a liquidity boom, directly driving the AI investment frenzy and cryptocurrency speculation. Looking ahead to 2026, Hartnett predicts the Federal Reserve will stage a "policy capitulation," forced to begin a rate-cutting cycle. At that time, long-term zero-coupon bonds, Bitcoin (a "canary in the coal mine"), and mid-cap stocks sensitive to financing costs will be the main beneficiaries. In the Bitcoin market, sentiment is a mix of panic and speculation. Prices recently fell to a six-month low of $80,500 on Friday, confirming a "death cross" technical pattern. Analyst Mister Crypto pointed out that historically, "death crosses" have led to declines of 64%, 67%, and 71% in January 2022, March 2018, and September 2014, respectively. If prices fail to quickly recover to the cost base, it could confirm a deeper bear market trend, with Bitcoin prices expected to fall further to a low of $74,500. Analyst Rekt Capital also believes that Bitcoin's macro uptrend has been broken, with the current weekly closing price above $86,000, and the next target will be to challenge the $93,000 resistance level. Banmu Xia stated that $80,500 may already be a significant low point in this bear market; however, this does not mean the bear market is over. The bear market has already lasted for more than three months and is expected to continue for another three to four months. Despite market pessimism, Bitcoin rebounded strongly by nearly 10% to $88,000 over the weekend. Analysts such as CryptoMichNL and Crypto Auris believe the price may first retrace to fill the CME gap at $85,200 before challenging the $90,000 to $96,000 range. Aegon identifies key resistance levels at $88,400, $93,600, and $99,420. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley revealed he has been increasing his Bitcoin holdings at the $85,000 level. The Ethereum market also experienced significant volatility, with its price plunging 15% to a four-month low of $2,625, leading to the liquidation of $460 million in leveraged long positions. Spot ETFs also saw net outflows for nine consecutive trading days, totaling $1.33 billion. However, data from the derivatives market offered a glimmer of optimism. Analyst Marcel Pechman pointed out that despite the price decline, funding rates for ETH perpetual futures stabilized, and large traders on the OKX platform were even increasing their long positions, suggesting the market may be brewing a rebound towards $3,200. Analyst Man of Bitcoin believes ETH's price target is $2,889, while Ted stated that if it can successfully recover the $2,800-$2,900 range, it could potentially move towards $3,300-$3,400. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan emphasized that the market has overlooked the upcoming Fusaka upgrade in December, which he believes is an undervalued catalyst that will significantly enhance Ethereum's value capture capabilities and could lead the next rally. Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua also announced that he has fully invested in ETH at around $2,700 and has made it the core holding in his major public blockchain sector. The controversy surrounding Strategy ( MSTR) intensified over the weekend, with a backlash from the crypto community following a research report by JPMorgan Chase regarding MSTR's potential removal from the MSCI index. Meanwhile, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee analyzed that institutional investors are hedging their risk by shorting Strategy (MSTR) stock, which holds 650,000 Bitcoins, due to a lack of liquidity in on-chain derivatives. Analyst RamenPanda stated that MSTR's potential removal from the MSCI index on January 15, 2026, due to its Bitcoin asset ratio exceeding 77%, could trigger a forced sell-off of $8-9 billion, further exacerbating liquidity and stock price pressures. Currently, MSTR's stock price has fallen 64% from its peak, making its "stock issuance to buy crypto" model unsustainable. Furthermore, MSCI's new rules (removing companies with digital assets exceeding 50% from major indices) also have a potential impact on other Bitcoin reserve companies. In terms of project updates, the decentralized AI data network Port3 Network was hacked due to a bridging vulnerability, resulting in the issuance and on-chain dumping of 1 billion tokens, causing a sharp drop in the price of its token PORT3. Binance announced the delisting of PORT3 perpetual contracts, and Bybit also suspended related trading; its market capitalization is currently listed as zero. Meanwhile, the pump.fun project team is accused of cashing out approximately $400 million in the past week, causing its token PUMP to fall below its initial offering price and drop by nearly 30% in the past week. On Friday, Coinbase announced the acquisition of the Solana on-chain trading platform Vector.fun . The price of the Vector-related Tensor (TNSR), which rose from $0.0418 to a high of $0.365 on November 19th, has now fallen back to $0.1485, with the 24-hour increase narrowing to 67%. Furthermore, the highly anticipated Monad token sale on Coinbase has ended, and tokens will be distributed today and listed for trading on Solana. 2. Key Data (as of 13:00 HKT on November 24) (Data source: CoinAnk, Upbit, Coingecko, SoSoValue, CoinMarketCap) Bitcoin: $86,934 (down 7.03% year-to-date), daily spot trading volume $51.05 billion.

Best Cryptos to Buy Now: Why XRP Tundra Tops Expert Recommendations

Best Cryptos to Buy Now: Why XRP Tundra Tops Expert Recommendations

The post Best Cryptos to Buy Now: Why XRP Tundra Tops Expert Recommendations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The post Best Cryptos to Buy Now: Why XRP Tundra Tops Expert Recommendations appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Analysts reviewing the late-2025 landscape are shifting away from sentiment-heavy tokens and looking for systems with verifiable economics, transparent governance and predictable revenue distribution. This shift reflects a broader recalibration: investors are placing greater weight on whether a network can convert real activity into long-term returns rather than relying on market cycles alone. XRP Tundra now appears repeatedly across expert shortlists, not because of marketing momentum, but because its economic structure differs fundamentally from most presale or legacy assets. An institutional acquisition, strictly defined pricing, dual-chain execution and revenue-backed staking make it one of the few early-stage systems positioned for multi-year compounding rather than speculative acceleration. Institutional Control Establishes a Defined Economic Base XRP Tundra’s development changed trajectory after a major institution initiated an acquisition, accelerating the launch to December 15 and formalizing the pricing framework that governs its entry phase. The institution agreed to maintain a final $0.01 retail allocation before institutional pricing replaces it permanently, creating a transparent window that does not fluctuate with market conditions. The due-diligence cycle expanded the project’s verification stack. Independent audits from Cyberscope, Solidproof and FreshCoins accompany full KYC via Vital Block. Contracts are open-source, immutable and deployed with no administrative mint function. All unsold tokens will be burned at launch. For analysts, this creates a clearly defined economic environment — rare for early-phase projects. A breakdown of the acquisition’s implications appears in Token Empire’s recent coverage. Tundra’s Position as the XRPL’s DeFi Layer Is Becoming a Consensus View Experts consistently highlight one of Tundra’s core advantages: its architecture aligns with the XRPL’s emerging demand cycle. As the network moves toward a broader 2026 expansion, analysts expect substantial growth in settlement activity and demand…

Market Crash: Record Bitcoin & Ethereum ETF Outflows

Market Crash: Record Bitcoin & Ethereum ETF Outflows

The crypto market is facing a defining crash in late November 2025, with record Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF outflows. Institutional flight has shattered the bullish narratives from earlier in the year. Bitcoin and Etherum erased significant value in a 24-hour window, driving market sentiment to its lowest point since mid-2023. Bitcoin currently trades near $83,000, a stark 35% retracement from its October all-time highs, while Ethereum clings to support near $2,700. Historic Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Outflows Institutional investors drove the sell-side pressure to historic levels this November. U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs registered a staggering $3.79 billion in collective outflows, shattering the previous record of $3.56 billion set in February 2025. Metrics confirm that institutional players are de-risking aggressively rather than buying the dip. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the world’s largest Bitcoin fund, saw redemptions exceeding $2 billion in November alone. On Thursday, November 20, the 11 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a single-day withdrawal of over $900 million, the second-largest daily outflow since their January 2024 inception. Ether ETFs fared no better, recording total outflows of $1.79 billion. These figures represent a clear vote of “no confidence” from traditional finance sectors regarding the short-term performance of the top two cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin ETFs saw record-breaking net outflows in November. – Source: SoSoValue Smart Money Rotates into Solana and XRP Amidst the sea of red, a peculiar divergence emerged in the ETF sector. While investors fled Bitcoin and Ether, they actively allocated capital to alternative Layer-1 assets. Data shows that Solana and XRP ETFs bucked the macro trend during the same period. XRP ETFs attracted $410 million in net inflows, while Solana ETFs secured $300.46 million. However, the broader altcoin market did not share this resilience. Tokens such as INJ, NEAR, ETHFI, APT, and SUI plummeted between 16% and 18% in 24 hours. The contrast highlights that regulated institutional products for SOL and XRP are seeing demand, while on-chain spot markets for other altcoins are suffering from the liquidity drought.

The Nasdaq 100 currently trades 9.4% below its October 31 record, signaling that risk-off sentiment pervades both traditional equities and digital assets. Derivatives Data Reveals Extreme Fear The derivatives market currently paints a picture of panic and defensive hedging. The “Fear and Greed Index” flashed a score of 11/100 on Friday, indicating “Extreme Fear”, which is the lowest reading since June 2023. Traders are scrambling to protect downside risk. Volatility indices surged, with Bitcoin’s 30-day implied volatility (BVIV) topping 64% and Ether’s jumping to 87%, the highest since April. Bitcoin’s spike in volatility drove the cost of options premiums higher. Order flow on Deribit shows a heavy bias toward put options (bets that prices will fall). In a sign of extreme pessimism, some traders even purchased deep out-of-the-money puts on BlackRock’s IBIT ETF with a strike price of just $15. 15DTE $IBIT calls being bought for $2.2M here pic.twitter.com/FyF1ZiRNle — Salma (@salmaogs) November 20, 2025 Furthermore, bullish speculators faced a total wipeout. Bitcoin Open Interest (OI) crashed from 752,000 BTC to 700,000 BTC in a single day as exchanges liquidated over-leveraged long positions. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates the market is technically “oversold,” the massive reduction in open interest suggests that the market has reset, and few traders are willing to “catch the falling knife” in the immediate term.
