More →Critical Shiba Inu (SHIB) Warning: Here’s the Latest Threat
The SHIB Army, the collective term for Shiba Inu holders, supporters, traders, and enthusiasts, has once again found itself in the crosshairs of scammers. Such schemes can lead to painful losses, so here’s how users can protect themselves. Recently, an X account falsely claimed a Shiba Inu airdrop was “back,” telling users they were eligible for the dubious campaign after they completed a supposed wallet verification check. The mysterious person or entity also provided a link, but people should not click it, as it was flagged as a scam. Long-time Shiba Inu community member Marzael.shib <a href="https://x.com/Mazrael_shib/status/2109464475833147516" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> that no such token distribution exists, calling the development “a drainer.” “They are flooding the timeline; recommend not clicking and report,” they added. The X account BSCN also sounded the alarm on the matter. The team <a href="https://x.com/BSCNews/status/2109920444170359054" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">said</a> the real danger comes when users connect their wallets and sign malicious approvals. “Those permissions can allow scammers to transfer tokens without stealing a victim’s password,” the warning reads. The popular meme coin boasts a vast and devoted community, making it a frequent target for scammers. Earlier this year, Shibarium Trustwatch (an X account dedicated to warning Shiba Inu users about potential threats) <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/critical-warning-shiba-inu-shib-community-faces-new-threat/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> about numerous fraud attempts involving the SOU NFT. Its team clarified that users will never receive the non-fungible token in question, and that eligible users can claim it only through Shiba Inu’s official website. “Do not click on shared, shortened, or copied links. Scammers often create fake websites that look identical to the real one in order to steal funds. Always type the official address directly into your browser and verify you are on the correct domain before connecting your wallet. Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone under any circumstances,” it added. Prior to that, the same X account <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/critical-warning-concerning-shiba-inu-shib-users-details/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> that bad actors created a malicious website impersonating Shiba Inu’s official platform. The fake site includes “special” promotions and false claims of collaborations and presale bonuses, designed to lure people into connecting their wallets. The meme coin’s price has plunged by nearly 12% over the past week. However, the main reason for the drop appears to be the overall decline in the cryptocurrency market during that period, not the scam warning that could have spread panic across the community. As of this writing, SHIB trades around $0.000005163 (per CoinGecko), down 95% from its late-2021 all-time high. Analysts have been relatively sile
CZ questions NDA tied to $80 million Ledger wallet hack
CoinWorld data: Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) questioned on October 11 a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) related to the transfer of ownership of a Malaysian wallet reseller, an incident involving more than $80 million in cryptocurrency losses. The agreement restricted the former owner from publicly discussing the deal before October 19. An investigation revealed the presence of unauthorized hardware components in a certain device. Nevertheless, the ownership transfer of Cryptobilis has little to do with the Ledger wallet hack, and it remains unclear whether the change is related to the hacking theft of cryptocurrency. According to media reports, Cryptobilis changed ownership in March 2026.

According to Bijie News, Goldman Sachs' wealth management business is booming, with client assets reaching $8.4 trillion, mainly driven by large IPOs that have created substantial wealth for high-net-worth clients. In addition, equity business growth remains strong. Pick said, "We are still in an equity-centric world," and despite some cyclical drivers, the Asian market has performed particularly strongly. Pick also mentioned that the backlog of private equity mandates is "slightly frustrating," with many large private investments still locked up, and Morgan Stanley bankers are eager to push these exit deals to completion.
Philadelphia Semiconductor Index component stocks are expected to see more than $1 trillion in market value wiped out.
Cointime news: As market concerns over rising interest rates, excessive valuations, and the costs of AI infrastructure intensify, the total market value of the constituents of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is expected to evaporate by more than $1 trillion, with the index falling as much as 3.1% at one point. Over the past six trading days, the index has fallen about 10% cumulatively, marking its longest losing streak since May 2025, with more than half of its constituents dropping at least 10%. Arm Holdings plunged nearly 20%, Applied Materials fell about 15%, and Intel dropped 11%. Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi of UBS's Chief Investment Office said that pressure on global chip stocks has intensified recently. Although rising competition and financing needs in the AI sector may increase market volatility, this round of declines is more a case of the market readjusting its expectations. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan warned that some investors chasing the AI boom are like "gamblers," and the industry may face financing constraints. September inflation data came in higher than expected, further reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue raising interest rates.
