State Street Global Advisors: Bank of Japan's hawkish hold signals future rate hikes
According to CoinWorld news, Krishna Bhimavarapu, an economist at State Street Global Advisors, said that the Bank of Japan's "hawkish pause" clearly indicates that it expects further interest rate hikes in the future. The central bank is increasingly confident that its price stability target is being achieved, and that through a self-sustaining wage-price-consumption cycle, inflation expectations can be anchored around 2%. This assessment is clearly more optimistic than the government's cautious stance on whether Japan has truly escaped deflation. However, he pointed out that the still fragile economic growth backdrop provides ample reason not to rush the next rate hike. Japan's third-quarter GDP may show weakening growth momentum, with consumption remaining the weakest link. Therefore, the GDP data will have a significant impact on whether December will become the next window for a rate hike.
The Bank of Japan is accelerating the sale of its ETF holdings, and the market reaction has been muted.
According to CoinWorld news, Japanese stocks reacted mildly to the Bank of Japan's unexpected move to accelerate the sale of its massive ETF holdings, indicating that investors believe the market is capable of absorbing the additional supply. The Bank of Japan said on Friday that starting in January next year, it will increase the pace of ETF sales by nearly threefold to about 860 billion yen (about $5.5 billion) per year. Hit by a global sell-off in technology stocks, the Nikkei 225 index came under pressure in early trading and narrowed its losses slightly in the afternoon. Yukihiro Kawanishi, a senior strategist at Aizawa Securities, said the announcement looked bearish at first glance, but given current average daily trading volume, its actual impact on the market is limited. For some stocks whose free float has shrunk because of the Bank of Japan's holdings, the sales may instead help improve their liquidity. Hiroshi Namioka, chief strategist at T&D Asset Management, said almost no one expected the Bank of Japan to accelerate the pace of ETF sales, and the announcement came as quite a surprise. However, the Bank of Japan likely made the decision after assessing market conditions such as turnover, suggesting it is confident the move will not distort market prices.

North Korea linked to $6.3 billion Binance hack

TRM Labs said it has "high confidence" in this attribution, noting that funds stolen in the Binance and Bitget hacks converged at the same address. Jonathan Levin, co-founder and CEO of Chainalysis, also pointed to TraderTraitor, saying the group stole $6.4 billion, slightly above Binance's estimated $6.3 billion impact.
OneKey founder Yishi: Attackers can steal assets by compromising the signing system.
OneKey founder Yishi posted that the security incidents at Binance and, previously, Bybit show that even if wallet private keys are not leaked, attackers can still steal assets by compromising the signature approval system. BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT holds about 815,000 BTC, worth about $63 billion, and is currently mainly custodied by Coinbase. Although Anchorage Digital has been brought in as an additional custodian, there are currently no plans to transfer assets. Yishi pointed out that BlackRock has not purchased separate insurance for the Bitcoin held by IBIT. Coinbase's commercial crime insurance limit is $320 million, shared by multiple clients, and the custody agreement stipulates that the liability cap for each cold storage address is $100 million. If a major theft occurs and the assets cannot be recovered or full compensation obtained, the losses may be borne by ETF holders. There is currently no evidence that IBIT has become a target of attack.
