Bitcoin long-term holders moved 32,000 BTC to exchanges on October 7 and 8, the second-largest single-day inflow since February 5. US government wallets shifted 17,200 BTC to a custody platform for the US Marshals Service, leaving 14,800 BTC of potential sell pressure. Spent coins averaged 712 days old versus 651 on July 14, and whether new demand absorbs this supply will shape the next move.

LBTC redemptions on the Liquid Network have been paused 35 days after an attacker used an Elements flaw to take nearly 4,000 BTC. About 3,400 BTC came back, leaving 598.5 BTC worth 49.69 million dollars. Blockstream rejected the 10 percent bounty demand, and Elements v23.3.4 is now under external audit. No restart date is set, and holders exiting via Sideswap and Sideshift face weeks of delays.

Hackers allegedly bought the reseller and required them to sign a nondisclosure agreement to stay silent, according to a report. Video evidence shows how they stole more than $80 million by silently corrupting Ledger #Bitcoin wallets. A scam shop in Malaysia had been listed as an "official authorized reseller" for years. Behind the scenes, criminals inserted microscopic spy chips on every wallet. Link:

A Ledger Stax hardware wallet has reportedly been found with unauthorized hardware implants capable of transmitting a user's seed phrase to attackers, marking the first known case of a compromised Ledger Stax. Suspected modifications include: - Nordic nRF9151: a 4G/LTE cellular modem potentially able to transmit stolen seed data. The component is not present in genuine Ledger devices. - Additional chip: an unauthorized component installed alongside the modem. - Hidden antenna: a cable running over the battery connects the modem to an antenna concealed inside the back cover. The discovery raises further concerns about the scope of the ongoing Ledger supply-chain attack. @Ledger Is there a problem with my Stax equipment? Link:

ChainCatcher reports, citing Coinglass data, that a BTC slide below $79,657 would trigger $825 million in cumulative long liquidations across major CEXs. A push above $87,487 would instead liquidate $534 million in cumulative short positions.

Ledger says compromised devices are limited. All October 9 theft cases involve wallets from reseller CryptoBilis. Ledger's systems and direct sales are unaffected. CryptoBilis halted sales. Customers who bought from CryptoBilis should not initialize unused wallets. Those who set up should move funds to a new wallet with a new seed phrase. Ledger warns the threat affects the hardware wallet industry.

Michael Saylor posted Sunday that there is always room for more orange, a phrase market watchers link to more Bitcoin buying. Strategy's Oct 5 SEC filing showed 334 BTC bought for $28.7 million from Sept 28 to Oct 4, lifting holdings to 848,000 BTC. It repurchased 1.77 million STRC preferred shares for $176.3 million. A new SEC update may wait until Tuesday due to the Columbus Day holiday.
