ME News reported that Core DAO said in a tweet on November 1 (UTC+8) that it had identified a vulnerability affecting the Bitcoin double-staking layer b14g and is working closely with the b14g team. The Core network remains secure, with consensus, validators, and staking contracts operating normally. CORE staked directly with validators or through other protocols is unaffected. Core is supporting b14g and its exchange partners in tracking and freezing funds. Most of the stolen CORE remains on the Core chain, and exchanges are freezing deposits linked to the attacker. Foresight News previously reported that b14g said about 97 million CORE tokens staked through its platform were withdrawn without authorization at 17:29 Beijing time on October 31 and transferred to the attacker's address. The b14g team paused the affected contract immediately after discovery and is working with the Core team, security partners, and exchanges to track the funds and coordinate their freezing and recovery.

ChainCatcher reports that global markets face a busy calendar in the week of Nov. 2–8, with the U.S. midterm elections, Apple and AMD earnings and October nonfarm payrolls as the main focal points. Rate decisions from the Bank of England and the Reserve Bank of Australia, the result of the Israeli parliamentary election and progress in Russia-U.S.-Ukraine trilateral talks will also draw attention. In tech, Apple and AMD will report their latest results, a key test for confidence in AI-related trades after recent setbacks. Apple is expected to post revenue of about $113 billion in its first report under new CEO Tan Zhu. AMD is expected to report revenue of around $13 billion, with investors focused on progress on Helios cabinets and the MI450 chip. Qualcomm, Super Micro Computer, Coherent, Lumentum and Berkshire Hathaway will also release results. Marvell is in talks to acquire Lumentum and could announce a deal as early as next week, according to reports. Apple Intelligence integration with Qwen from Alibaba is scheduled to begin testing on Nov. 4. On Nov. 3, the U.S. midterms will put all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats up for election. The outcome will shape the ability of the Trump administration to advance fiscal, tariff and industrial policy over the next two years. Final results from the Israeli parliamentary election are expected on Nov. 4. Russia-U.S.-Ukraine trilateral negotiations are due to resume in Abu Dhabi next week. On macro data, the U.S. October nonfarm payrolls report is due. After September added only 29,000 jobs, the market expects 65,000 for October. Strong employment data could reinforce expectations for a Fed rate hike in December, with implications for the dollar, U.S. Treasuries and gold. China will also release October foreign exchange reserves.

Jim Cramer, host of "Mad Money," said Friday that technology stocks may remain volatile after a brutal week of losses. Semiconductor shares erased about $1 trillion in market value Friday. Intel fell more than 28% in one session after its fourth-quarter outlook came in far below expectations. Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Broadcom also declined, helping push the Nasdaq down 2.86%. Cramer said investors are still unsure whether massive artificial intelligence spending is producing returns fast enough to justify technology valuations. He pointed to major earnings, the monthly jobs report and the midterm elections as possible catalysts in the week ahead. "After a brutal week for tech, don't assume the worst is behind us," he said. Cramer advised investors not to try to call a bottom in the Nasdaq. He suggested looking at high-quality companies that are being sold indiscriminately. Intel's update showed that strong data center demand does not guarantee uninterrupted shipments when components are scarce. The company's Data Center and AI unit raised third-quarter revenue 78% to $7.3 billion. Intel flagged wafer and substrate shortages that could limit server deliveries until the second half of 2027. Analysts also tied Intel's weakness to conditions in the PC market. Intel said expensive memory was making large-scale PC sales more difficult. Intel forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion, compared with consensus expectations of about $17.1 billion. It warned that the slowdown could last through the first half of 2027. Cramer's earnings calendar starts with Apple, which reports Monday after the close. He said Apple remains a company he wants to own. He warned that a valuation near 40 times earnings offers little protection against disappointing results. Cramer called AMD's Tuesday report another test for semiconductor stocks after Intel's setback. The iShares Semiconductor ETF fell 8% during the chip selloff. The PHLX Semiconductor Index dropped 7.1%, its second decline of more than 6% in a little over a week. Cramer said Tuesday's midterm elections could prolong volatility if changes in Washington complicate data center development. He warned that political opposition to data centers could delay construction and hurt businesses that rely on AI infrastructure spending. Some states remain receptive to data centers, he noted. Cramer expects Friday's monthly jobs report to show strong hiring with limited wage growth.

BTCFi protocol Troves said on November 1 that its xWBTC/WBTC vault was attacked earlier that day, with initial losses estimated at about 8.6 BTC. The attack appears confined to that vault; no other Troves vaults were affected. According to Troves, the exploit used an outdated rebalancing contract that had been replaced but still held permissions. The team has revoked those permissions and suspended the affected vault and other potentially exposed vaults as a precaution. Troves is working with security partners to trace the stolen funds and assess recovery options. It also sent an onchain message to the attacker offering a 1 WBTC bug bounty for return of the remaining funds. A detailed incident review and a resolution plan for affected deposit holders will follow soon.
