Tracked Binance assets fell to $128.31 billion, and the ZK proof of reserves moved to 3 November

Daily on Cardano
The outflows are still running, and the proof of reserves is not on the table yet. DefiLlama tracks Binance assets from $144.9 billion on 29 October to $128.31 billion on 2 November. news.bitcoin.com headlines that drop at about $15.7 billion. The gap between those two prints is about $16.6 billion. That is a calculation, not a third official figure. Binance itself reports $4.649 billion of withdrawals and $1.01 billion of deposits between 06:00 and 15:30 UTC on 1 November, about 2.1 percent of $171 billion. That is one window, not the same span as DefiLlama. The ZK proof of reserves comes on 3 November UTC, after 40 to 50 hours of computation.
The proof-of-reserves snapshot of 31 October shows USDT at $29.48 billion, down $2.54 billion, or 7.95 percent, and bitcoin at 692,187, up 0.52 percent. USDT coverage fell from 103.88 percent to 100.00 percent. The snapshot covers 10 assets. Previously it covered 55. Cointelegraph reports today that OKX recorded $445 million of net inflows, and holds Binance outflows at about $7 billion. Kriptoteme, citing CoinDesk, holds the outflows at about $6 billion, less than 4 percent of reserves, after a 45-hour pause. Those are three different windows. The hack of about $6.3 billion was on 29 October. Binance says it has reimbursed about 95 percent. Yi He rejects the comparisons with FTX. Chainalysis is tracking stolen SOL being swapped into bitcoin. Gate froze two related accounts.

The subject is leveraged transactions for retail customers, Crypto Asset Transactions, under CEA 2(c)(2)(D). A new Crypto Asset Market category is also proposed, modeled on a DCM. Rules do not exist yet. This is a question phase. Kriptoteme and crypto.news record that today.
THORChain halted swaps on 10 networks. A reorg of one ether block caused a double return of 10 ETH. The pause, according to Chainalysis, slowed the laundering of the Binance proceeds.

On Core, about 97 million CORE, about $1.47 million, left 91 positions because a zero-amount withdrawal was treated as a withdrawal of everything. A hard fork on 2 November returned 68,146,177 CORE from three attacker addresses. @BSCNews carries that.
