Tron founder Justin Sun said on Nov. 3 that his lawyers had requested sanctions against World Liberty Financial and the company's attorneys over delayed foreign ownership disclosures. Sun accused the President Donald Trump-backed crypto firm of concealing UAE citizenship to avoid federal litigation concerning Sun's $45 million investment. World Liberty argued that UAE citizenship eliminated federal jurisdiction because the lawsuit involved foreign parties on both sides. Sun said he would take the investment dispute to California state court after the federal judge considers the sanctions request. World Liberty has previously denied Sun's fraud allegations and accused Sun of misconduct in a separate defamation case.

South Korea's ruling party leader, Kim Min-seok, has formally proposed another postponement of the crypto income tax. Kim said party members agreed that South Korea should enact the Digital Asset Basic Act first and allow companies and investors time to adjust. The levy is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2027, taxing annual crypto transfer or lending gains above a 2.5 million won ($1,868.7) basic deduction at 22%, including local tax. Approval would postpone the levy for the fourth time.

Binance co-CEO Richard Teng says the crypto industry must draw lessons from the $6.3 billion Binance hack. Teng described a months-long campaign involving fake recruitment, AI tools and a new Ethereum feature that allowed transfers to continue after Binance suspended withdrawals. Ethlabs researcher Derek Chiang argued that EIP-7702 accelerated the theft but does not have a defect. Binance says the exchange has restored 98% of affected assets and rebuilt the wallet system. If an independent review confirms that attackers compromised transaction signers, the risk lies in exchange custody design rather than new features alone.

Bob Peck, a New York Angels board member, says Anthropic's initial public offering could boost technology stocks after AI-related selloffs. Large investors reportedly favor a price near the bottom of a $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion valuation range. Peck says the final valuation could provide a benchmark for hyperscalers worth $2 trillion to $4 trillion. Anthropic's S-1 reports about 900% net revenue retention, although PitchBook analyst Harrison Rolfes expects that figure to decline quickly from a small base, Morningstar reported. A $1.5 trillion valuation would put Anthropic near 43 times trailing sales, while the amended IPO filing shows compute costs growing faster than revenue.

VanEck's Matthew Sigel said an S21 XP miner costing $3,459 needs bitcoin to average approximately $100,000 until the next halving to break even. Sigel's calculation assumes electricity costs $0.08, hashrate remains unchanged and mining rigs depreciate over three years. Sigel expects the next halving in April 2028. Sigel said cash payback by the end of 2028 would require a bitcoin price of approximately $116,000. Bitcoin currently trades at $77,500.

Binance disclosed how a fraudulent job interview compromised an engineer before attackers stole $6.34 billion in cryptocurrency on October 29. Binance said its security team had blocked 57 suspected North Korea-linked cyber threats during 2026, including attempts involving fake interviews. The FBI attributed the theft to North Korea's TraderTraitor operation on October 31. Binance said previously unknown malware avoided endpoint security controls, and attackers later reached the exchange's wallet-signing infrastructure. Binance said it replaced affected devices, revoked exposed credentials and rebuilt compromised wallet infrastructure after the attack.

Existing allocation ratios would remain unchanged, with staking participants receiving 90% of newly issued tokens and the treasury receiving 10%.

Maylea Ma, deputy general counsel at 1inch, expects federal agencies rather than Congress to lead the next phase of US crypto regulation. Ma expects the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Treasury to deliver substantive changes over the next few years. However, Ma warned that engagement with agencies cannot offer the stability the industry sought through legislation. Michael Ho, co-founder of D3, said reversible agency guidance is keeping major investors waiting and that clear legislation will attract institutional capital to tokenized real-world assets.
