PANews reported on November 9th that the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center released a technical analysis report on the LuBian mining pool hack that resulted in the theft of a huge amount of Bitcoin. The report indicated that a major hacking attack occurred at the LuBian mining pool in 2020, resulting in the theft of 127,272.06953176 Bitcoins (worth approximately $3.5 billion at the time, now worth $15 billion). The holder of this huge amount of Bitcoins was identified as Chen Zhi, chairman of the Prince Group of Cambodia. Following the attack, the Bitcoins remained untouched in a wallet address controlled by the attackers for four years, almost entirely untouched. This is clearly inconsistent with the typical behavior of hackers eager to cash out and pursue profits, suggesting a precise operation orchestrated by a "nation-state hacking organization." The stolen Bitcoins were only transferred to a new Bitcoin wallet address in June 2024 and have remained untouched ever since. On October 14, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice announced criminal charges against Chen Zhi and the seizure of 127,000 Bitcoins from Chen Zhi and his Prince Group. Evidence suggests that the massive amount of Bitcoins seized by the U.S. government from Chen Zhi and his Prince Group were actually Bitcoins from the LuBian mining pool that had already been stolen by hackers using technical means back in 2020. In other words, the U.S. government may have already stolen 127,000 Bitcoins held by Chen Zhi through hacking techniques as early as 2020; this is a classic case of a "double-cross" operation orchestrated by a state-sponsored hacking group.PANews reported on November 9th that the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center released a technical analysis report on the LuBian mining pool hack that resulted in the theft of a huge amount of Bitcoin.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
