Binance reopens withdrawals after the largest crypto hack on record, while Solana's first full week after its upgrade lands at half the prior count and Lighter closes in.
Binance lost $6.3B and reopened withdrawals Sunday. Solana's first full week after its upgrade: 148.3M transactions a day, half the prior count, with Lighter close behind.
The board's total fell 28.2%, Fogo handed second place to Lighter, and Bitcoin briefly dipped below $80,000 while its fees sat near the floor.
Solana switched voting systems and its recorded transactions fell 30.5%. Fogo halved. Bitcoin dipped under $80,000. Quieter networks, or a changed count? This week's brief.
A spy chip in resold Ledger wallets, bitcoin's brief dip under $80,000, and a Solana upgrade on October 21 that changes what gets counted.
Fogo's provisional count rose another 70.5% to 230.6M transactions a day, nearly two-thirds of the whole board's gain. Plus Ledger's spy-chip scare and Solana's counting change.
Ledger's reseller breach and broad ETF outflows led the news. On-chain, one small chain's jump was bigger than the whole board's net rise.
A chain valued at about $25 million recorded 135 million transactions a day, second only to Solana. Plus Ledger's $86M reseller breach and a week of fund outflows.
