Hut 8’s (HUT) Tuesday third quarter earnings report showed record revenue and solid profitability, but the stock tumbled nearly 13% after investors were let down by the lack of an AI hyperscaler tenant announcement at its River Bend site in Louisiana, Wall Street broker Benchmark said in a report on Wednesday. The selloff was “short-sighted and unwarranted,” wrote analyst Mark Palmer, who argued it’s not a matter of if a deal happens, but when. He maintained his buy rating and $78 price target.

According to a Wednesday report from the South China Morning Post, the Solana Accelerate APAC series event being held in Shenzhen on Tuesday was cut short amid claims of overcrowding, “leading the local police to conduct an inquiry on site.” Event organizers confirmed the venue had exceeded capacity and canceled the final hackathon “for public safety,” per the report. The police presence, however, reignited concerns on social media, with attendees reportedly expressing…

Most attendees at a crypto conference in South Florida on Wednesday were eager to talk about the industry—between Labubu-fueled marketing tactics and the local party scene—but Bitcoin’s recent fall to $100,000 wasn’t top of mind for many.

They soaked up the sun and commiserated with colleagues amid the palm trees while they could. The two-day event, dubbed Blockchain Futurist Conference, was set to feature high-profile names including Eric Trump, the U.S. president’s son, but it also drew…

Ethereum developers are moving ahead with a Dec. 3 mainnet fork for the long-awaited Fusaka upgrade, following strong client team support during Thursday’s All Core Devs (ACD) call. The timeline remains technically conditional on Hoodie testnet finalization next week, but with no major issues reported on the first two testnets and all client teams signaling approval, the dates are effectively locked in. Release candidates for mainnet clients are expected Nov. 3, giving node operators one month to make the switch. The progression to Blob Parameter Override (BPO), will get a schedule tweak, however. “BPO one and two on December 9…

Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother, Barbara Fried (a former Stanford Law professor and an accomplice in her son’s crime), published a 64-page document defending her son’s actions and framing FTX’s collapse as a liquidity crisis rather than outright fraud. The document is widely viewed by many as part of a larger, coordinated PR and legal campaign by the Bankman-Fried family aimed at managing the public story and building support before the upcoming appeals in his legal case. Fried’s article also attacks the trial judge, the Justice Department, and the bankruptcy team, claiming they are biased and have misrepresented the facts of the…
