Key Takeaways Fortinet shares plunged more than 20% after Q3 earnings, following a YTD rally of over 100%.Strong earnings and billings growth were overshadowed by slowing service revenue growth.FTNT's forward P/E has fallen to roughly 37X, well below its industry's 56X average. Cybersecurity leader Fortinet (FTNT - Free Report) ) saw its shares plunge 20% on Thursday despite reporting better-than-expected third-quarter results and raising its full-year guidance.
The sharp selloff comes after FTNT had rallied over 100% year-to-date heading into its earnings release on Wednesday evening, as investors grew increasingly optimistic about artificial intelligence-driven cybersecurity demand.
With Fortinet competing against industry heavyweights Palo Alto Networks (PANW - Free Report) ) and CrowdStrike (CRWD - Free Report) ), the correction raises an important question: Is FTNT stock now an attractive buy-the-dip opportunity?
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Fortinet's Q3 Results: What Caused the Selloff?Fortinet reported adjusted Q3 earnings of $0.91 per share, beating expectations of $0.85 and climbing 23% year over year. Revenue increased 20% to $2.08 billion, exceeding estimates of $2.06 billion.
Billings, which measure the value of business billed to customers during a period, rose 29% to $2.34 billion, reflecting healthy demand for Fortinet's cybersecurity solutions.
However, investors were disappointed by slowing product revenue growth, which moderated to 37% from 52% in Q2. More concerning, service revenue increased just 13% year over year, prompting management to lower its full-year service revenue forecast to $5.15-$5.17 billion from $5.18-$5.22 billion.
With expectations elevated following FTNT's massive rally, signs of slowing growth triggered aggressive profit-taking.
That said, it’s noteworthy that the cybersecurity leader has now exceeded the Zacks EPS Consensus for a remarkable 35 consecutive quarters, posting an average earnings surprise of 17.74% in its last four quarterly reports.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Fortinet's Growth Outlook Remains EncouragingEncouragingly, Fortinet raised its FY26 revenue outlook to $8.125-$8.215 billion, implying approximately 20% annual growth at the midpoint.
Management also increased its full-year billings forecast to $9.57-$9.72 billion, representing 28% annual growth at the midpoint. Plus, Fortinet expects adjusted earnings of $3.54-$3.58 per share, implying over 28% growth from EPS of $2.76 in FY25.
Demand for next-generation firewalls, secure networking, and AI-driven cybersecurity solutions should remain important growth catalysts as enterprises strengthen their digital infrastructure.
Furthermore, Fortinet expanded its share repurchase authorization by $1.2 billion, providing additional support for shareholder returns.
Bottom Line: Time to Buy the Dip in FTNT?Fortinet's post-earnings plunge appears to present an intriguing buying opportunity for long-term investors, particularly as FTNT now trades at a more reasonable 37X forward earnings multiple, down from roughly 50X before its earnings release.
This also represents a steeper discount to its Zacks Security industry average of 56X, making Fortinet's valuation increasingly attractive given its strong cybersecurity growth prospects.
For now, FTNT sports a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), although slowing service revenue growth remains a concern that investors should monitor.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of June 24, 2026 through September 1, 2026, inclusive ("the Class Period"). The lawsuit alleges that FuelCell made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose to investors that: (i) the Company's manufacturing capacity was inadequate to generate the production rate required under the capital equipment purchase agreement (CEPA) with Fit Energy USA LP for up to 380 MW of fuel cell power for data centers; (ii) the Company's annualized production rate for deliveries under the CEPA with Fit Energy was slower than expected; (iii) as a result, the Company was incurring higher product costs and manufacturing overhead expenses; (iv) as a result of the slower production rate, the Company was reasonably likely to incur charges in connection with the CEPA; and (v) the foregoing was a known trend affecting the Company's profitability.
On September 2, 2026, FuelCell announced its third quarter 2026 financial results, reporting a net loss of $45.3 million. The Company stated that this reflected "a higher gross loss than the prior year period," caused by "product costs and manufacturing overhead that currently exceed the contractual pricing established under the CEPA with Fit Energy." Additionally, FuelCell stated that the annualized production rate was "below the production volume at which we expect our cost structure to align with market-based pricing for orders of this scale," and charges totaling $17 million were incurred, reflecting "the impact of contractual pricing provisions with specific inventory and purchase commitments arising as a result of Phase 0 of the CEPA." On this news, the price of FuelCell shares declined by $2.68 per share, or approximately 15.69%, from $17.08 per share on September 1, 2026 to close at $14.40 on September 2, 2026.

Ripple keeps scoring institutional wins, yet XRP keeps sliding, now sitting beneath a key moving average that has blocked every recovery attempt since October 21. The reason buyers are not showing up reveals a structural disconnect between Ripple's business and…

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is currently priced at $1.28. This is a 3.4% decline in the last 24 hours and 3.8% below its 20-day moving average of $1.33. The 20-day moving average is calculated by averaging the closing prices of the past 20 sessions. When XRP trades below this average, it typically means recent buyers are at a loss.
This drop adds to an ongoing downturn, with XRP down about 14% in October alone. Its last daily close above $1.40 was on October 11, when it reached $1.41, and it is currently trading approximately 65% below its all-time high of $3.65 from July 17, 2025.
Ripple’s Positive News Has Not Lifted the XRP Price
Despite several positive developments for Ripple—the company most closely associated with XRP—buyers have shown little interest, pushing XRP down more sharply than Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) over the past day.
Ripple secured several key institutional deals in the week of October 26. Notable wins include final U.S. approval for a national trust bank that can hold digital assets for clients and a deal with Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD | HOOD Price Prediction) to expand its RLUSD, a dollar-backed token. On October 28, Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) began offering RLUSD to both retail and institutional clients, and BNY (NYSE: BK) is adding custody support for XRP and RLUSD.
Since its December 2024 launch, RLUSD has grown to a market value exceeding $2.6 billion. However, because RLUSD is a stablecoin, it is designed to maintain a value of $1. This means that RLUSD holders can trade or move it on platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood without needing to buy XRP.
Additionally, Ripple’s revenues benefit the company directly, so XRP holders don’t receive any of them. Consequently, Ripple’s advancements influence XRP prices only through market sentiment, which must translate into actual purchases to drive price changes.
Spot XRP ETFs Saw No Inflows While Sellers Held XRP Under $1.33
Buyer response has been lackluster. Data from SoSoValue indicates that spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which hold XRP and can be traded like stocks, saw no net inflows on October 27 or 28. These funds currently hold about $1.51 billion, suggesting no new capital has entered the market since Ripple’s recent announcements.
From October 22 to October 28, XRP closed below $1.33 every day. It briefly rose to $1.32 on October 29 but then retreated to $1.28. Currently, XRP is trading at its 200-day moving average of $1.28, a key indicator for assessing long-term trends.
It is also 8.6% below its 50-day average of $1.40, suggesting that the overall upward trend is under pressure while recent momentum has shifted downward.
Since October 26, XRP has been trading within a narrow range between $1.27 and $1.34. This range consists of support—prices where buyers typically come in—and resistance—prices where sellers tend to dominate. The last time XRP approached the $1.40 mark was on October 21, when it nearly reached that level but closed at $1.36 following a sell-off.
The rebound days on October 26 and 27 saw significantly lower trading volumes than the sell-offs on October 2 and October 8. Rallies on thinner volume often stall because fewer buyers are willing to invest as prices rise.
By comparison, in the last 24 hours, Bitcoin fell 0.5%, Ethereum dropped 1.3%, and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) declined 1.5%, while XRP fell 3.4%, the weakest performer of the four.
This month has brought a more balanced picture, with XRP’s 14% drop closely tracking Ethereum’s 12.4% and Solana’s 13.9%, while Bitcoin is down only 3.1%. As of 2026 so far, XRP is down roughly 31%, steeper than Bitcoin’s 7.5% and Ethereum’s 20.8%.
Can the XRP Price Turn $1.33 Back Into a Floor and Reach $1.40? XRP’s weak performance today likely stems from its trading behavior around Ripple’s announcements. Historically, XRP tends to attract buyers before Ripple shares news. But when positive news arrives without new investment, some buyers cash out, a trend known as “sell the news.” In contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum are less influenced by company-specific news and therefore tend to see smaller price drops.
For XRP to climb back to $1.40, it likely needs new investment flowing into spot XRP ETFs or increased demand tied to the growth of RLUSD and BNY’s trade-finance initiatives. Without positive fund flows, Ripple’s headlines might lift sentiment but won’t move the price much. This could keep XRP below the $1.33 level longer, and a close under $1.27 could trigger further declines.
The first milestone is closing above $1.33, which XRP last did on October 21. The next target is a close above the week’s high of $1.34, while the 50-day average sits at $1.40.
XRP last saw significant buying pressure in August, when prices skyrocketed from $1.11 to $1.52 between August 19 and August 23 before cooling off at $1.43. A breakout above $1.34 without accompanying fund inflows could spark another short-lived rally.

With HYPE surging toward its all-time high and a major Wall Street player eyeing its market, the path to $150 hinges on one factor that crypto markets have almost no control over.
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.
Both ChatGPT and Grok say Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE) is unlikely to reach $150 by the end of 2026. HYPE trades at $95 following an impressive 18.3% surge in just 24 hours. This rise comes just as HYPE approaches its record high of $98, set on September 23, making the $150 Hyperliquid price prediction a significant leap.
Over 30 days, HYPE has fluctuated, closing as low as $76 and as high as $94.
A report says the Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE | ICE Price Prediction), the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, plans to launch a U.S. market for Hyperliquid perpetual futures—contracts that track a cryptocurrency’s price and have no expiration date. This initiative is being developed in partnership with trade(xyz), although it still awaits regulatory approval. Notably, billionaire investor Stan Druckenmiller backs the venture.
Despite the enthusiasm for $150—an increase of 58.4% from the current price—both AI models have provided their probabilities and year-end price estimates for HYPE.
What Would $150 Mean for Hyperliquid’s Market Cap?
A cryptocurrency’s market capitalization equals the coin’s price multiplied by the total number of tokens in circulation. If HYPE hit $150, its market cap would reach about $35.9 billion, based on 239.4 million HYPE tokens in circulation. In comparison, HYPE’s current market cap is about $22.7 billion, placing it 11th among all cryptocurrencies.
A significant challenge facing HYPE is supply dilution. HYPE’s market cap is only 0.25 times its fully diluted valuation—the potential value if all 1 billion tokens were on the market. As locked tokens become available, a $150 price would require a larger market cap, since fully diluted HYPE is valued at $90.1 billion now and could rise to $150 billion if the price hits $150.
Grok’s analysis estimates about 250 million HYPE in circulation, slightly higher than the count.
HYPE holders often look at Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) as a benchmark; Solana ranks 7th with a market cap of $59.9 billion. To match Solana at current supply levels, HYPE would need to trade at approximately $250, or around $240 using Grok’s estimates, which is based on Solana’s $60 billion market cap. At $150, HYPE would still be substantially smaller than Solana.
Catalysts That Could Push HYPE Toward $150
The primary catalyst for HYPE’s price growth is the ICE initiative, but this plan is still in its early stages and requires regulatory approval, with no specific date announced. Since August, Hyperliquid has lobbied U.S. regulators to allow regulated firms to offer perpetual futures on its blockchain. So far, the only market response has been the 18.3% price jump after the report.
Lookonchain, a platform that monitors large wallet activity on the blockchain, reported $52.7 million in whale long positions over five days, suggesting significant investment if HYPE rises. However, during the same period, whales also sold $53.3 million worth of HYPE, so buying and selling nearly offset each other, suggesting major holders aren’t significantly influencing the price.
HYPE is trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages, with average closing prices of $80, $85, and $66, respectively. ChatGPT estimates a 65% chance that HYPE will set a new record within 30 days, while Grok gives it a 62% probability. ChatGPT further notes that a quick price move above $98 is less valuable than a sustained breakout above that level.
Where Do ChatGPT and Grok See HYPE Finishing 2026?
Both AI models believe that HYPE is likely to remain below $150 in 2026. ChatGPT gives a 35% chance of closing above $150 by year-end, while Grok estimates 28%. Grok also mentions that reaching a price significantly above the record will require clearer progress in the U.S. market.
For year-end price predictions, ChatGPT expects HYPE to settle at around $115, while Grok anticipates $118. Both forecasts suggest gains from the current $95 price, though they fall far short of the $150 target. This $150 goal is a tougher challenge than the previous $90 target mentioned in an October 24 analysis.
If access to U.S. markets is further delayed or blocked, both models predict that HYPE could fall to as low as $55. ChatGPT describes $55 as a stress scenario, suggesting lower prices, while Grok points to lows in the mid-$70s, which aligns with the $76 closing price on October 25.
Can Hyperliquid Close Above $150 Before 2026 Ends?
HYPE is more likely to close 2026 below $150, with the probability of closing above it closer to Grok’s 28% than ChatGPT’s 35%. The rally’s primary catalyst still requires regulatory approval, and such approvals rarely align with the fast-paced crypto market. HYPE first needs to establish a stable position above $98, followed by a significant regulatory milestone, before a $150 target can be seriously considered.
If approvals come through before December 31, the $150 target may become a serious possibility, but any delay could push HYPE’s price lower, potentially testing the $55 mark. So does Hyperliquid’s $150 price prediction hold up? Only if approval arrives first.

SlowMist’s Yu Xian: The Binance attacker’s on-chain operations were crude and had prior rehearsals, with EIP-7702 used solely to streamline bulk fund siphoning.
SlowMist founder Yu Xian posted that attackers adopted EIP-7702 on Ethereum primarily to facilitate the bulk siphoning of tokens from Binance-associated hot wallets. On-chain data shows the attackers' operations were relatively crude, and they conducted several hours of rehearsal preparations before the actual token heist. One can refer to the first five transaction records of the relevant addresses for details. Yu Xian noted that the EIP-7702 mechanism itself has no issues, and even without the protocol, there would still be other ways to achieve similar effects.

Arbitrum, a leading Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, is reporting a significant milestone with perpetual trading activity surging on its network. Variational, a decentralized trading platform operating on Arbitrum, reached an all-time high of $448 billion in cumulative trading volume across both real-world asset (RWA) and cryptocurrency markets this month.
Perpetual Trading Activity Expands EcosystemThe $448 billion volume marks a notable increase in trading activity for Arbitrum and highlights the network’s extensive reach beyond traditional crypto derivatives. Variational’s performance underscores how decentralized finance protocols are diversifying to accommodate both RWA and digital asset derivatives.
Variational’s contribution to Arbitrum’s cumulative volume highlights the growing influence of decentralized perpetual trading platforms and signals expanding user adoption across the network’s diverse markets.
Perpetual contracts give traders the ability to gain leveraged exposure to a range of assets without the need to own them directly. This capability broadens access for market participants and supports greater flexibility in portfolio management.
Mini dictionary: Variational is a decentralized trading platform on Arbitrum that offers perpetual futures contracts for cryptocurrencies and real-world assets, enabling margin and leveraged trading without ownership of underlying assets.
While the volume surge shows impressive activity, analysts caution that rising trading volumes across Arbitrum do not automatically translate into increasing demand or price growth for the native ARB token. Key metrics such as open interest and user participation will be crucial indicators of whether the ecosystem can sustain this momentum.
MetricCurrent ValueReferenceCumulative Trading Volume$448 billionVariational on ArbitrumKey Support Level (ARB)$0.16Crypto With Gopal analysisImmediate Resistance (ARB)$0.178–$0.180Crypto With Gopal analysisPotential Target (ARB)$0.20Crypto With Gopal analysisARB Price Forms Triple Bottom PatternThe ARB token, which powers the Arbitrum network, has been attempting to recover from a recent decline. Technical analyst Crypto With Gopal identified a potential triple-bottom formation near the $0.16 region on the one-hour chart. This pattern suggests that buyers are actively defending this support zone after a period of selling pressure.
Retaining the $0.16 support is key for those hoping for a reversal, as a breakdown below this region would likely invalidate the pattern and could trigger additional downside. Conversely, resistance remains around $0.178 to $0.180. A confirmed breakout above this area could lead to renewed bullish momentum, potentially bringing the $0.20 price target into view.
Crypto With Gopal indicated that holding $0.16 is vital for ARB, while a breakout above $0.178–$0.180 would represent confirmation of a bullish reversal and may drive the price toward $0.20.
The analyst further explained that recurring tests of support are a sign of persistent buying interest. However, he noted that a sustained move above resistance is still necessary before any strong recovery is likely. Until this occurs, the ARB token may remain in a consolidation phase.
Relationship Between Network Growth and Token DemandDespite the record trading volume on Variational, analysts emphasize that growth in ecosystem activity does not automatically result in appreciation of the ARB price. Differentiating between network adoption and direct token value is essential, as increased trading may signal robust ecosystem health while still requiring buyer conviction to impact token price.
The coming days are expected to be pivotal as investors focus on whether ARB can maintain its critical support and break through resistance. A successful breakout could set the stage for a short-term rally towards $0.20.

CubeSmart (CUBE - Free Report) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.66 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.65 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.65 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an FFO surprise of +1.54%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this self-storage company would post FFO of $0.64 per share when it actually produced FFO of $0.63, delivering a surprise of -1.56%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus FFO estimates two times.
CubeSmart, which belongs to the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Other industry, posted revenues of $293.97 million for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.14%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $285.08 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future FFO expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
CubeSmart shares have added about 11.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13.1%.
What's Next for CubeSmart?While CubeSmart has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's FFO outlook. Not only does this include current consensus FFO expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for CubeSmart was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus FFO estimate is $0.66 on $290.33 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.57 on $1.15 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, REIT and Equity Trust - Other is currently in the top 38% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
American Healthcare REIT (AHR - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026. The results are expected to be released on November 5.
This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.56 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +27.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.5% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
American Healthcare REIT's revenues are expected to be $770.48 million, up 34.5% from the year-ago quarter.
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important November 3, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased DICK’S Sporting Goods common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the DICK’S Sporting Goods class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/dicks-sporting-goods/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 3, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Dick’s cleanup efforts concerning Foot Locker’s inventory were not complete, and, in fact, Foot Locker remained saddled with unproductive and stagnant legacy footwear; (2) Foot Locker heavily relied on legacy footwear products that were particularly vulnerable to intensifying promotional pressures across the athletic footwear industry; (3) in turn, Dick’s was significantly exposed to an industry-wide environment of excess inventory and resulting promotional activity; (4) accordingly, Dick’s was unable to achieve the sales growth, margins, and profits it touted to investors; and (5) as a result of the above, defendants’ positive statements about Dick’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

In brief Polymarket put its exchange in cancel-only mode and paused relayer actions as users report funds withdrawn without permission. A wallet flagged as the suspected attacker’s holds about $2.65 million in POL, per Arkham data, after multiple USDC.e-to-POL swaps through Relay. Hudson Rock says a DebugBear-hosted script containing wallet-draining code hard-codes that same address as its fallback recipient. Polymarket users are reporting that the prediction market’s frontend may be compromised, with assets being withdrawn from accounts without permission.
The platform’s status page shows its trading API in a major outage and the exchange in cancel-only mode, meaning traders can pull existing orders but not place new ones. Relayer actions, which submit users’ signed transactions to the blockchain, are also paused.
Polymarket later confirmed that one its third-party providers was compromised. "We have referred this to relevant law enforcement," the company said on X. "Anyone who has been impacted will be made whole."

Arkham data shows that a wallet identified as the suspected attacker’s, 0x3F99139F1C5854bb628c2e576Aaf638e99dFfc18, holds about $2.65 million in POL, Polygon’s native token. It received multiple recent swaps from USDC.e, a bridged version of the USDC stablecoin, into POL through Relay, a cross-chain swapping service.
The first transactions began about an hour ago, and the wallet has shown no activity in the last five minutes.
Researchers at Hudson Rock said a script loaded from DebugBear, a web performance monitoring service, contains code that looks for a logged-in user’s trading session and attempts to sell their positions and transfer the assets.
The firm said the same wallet address is hard-coded in the script as its fallback recipient, and that Polymarket’s production site code records the script’s removal. Hudson Rock said it has not established how the compromise started or how many users were affected.
Polymarket has not yet said what caused the incident. In May, a private key compromise drained roughly $700,000 from an internal top-up wallet. A month later, a compromised third-party vendor let hackers inject malicious code into the frontend and steal about $3 million from fewer than 15 accounts, and Polymarket promised to refund users in full.

Polymarket put its international exchange in cancel-only mode after a third-party provider was compromised. Arkham data shows about $2.65 million in POL tied to the attacker. Trading resumed around 3pm ET.
@Polymarket put its international exchange into cancel-only mode on Thursday after users reported unauthorized withdrawals. The prediction market said one of its third-party providers had been compromised, referred the matter to law enforcement and promised to make every affected user whole. Trading resumed at about 3pm ET.
The incident affected Polymarket's international platform, not its separate US exchange. Prediction News reported that the offshore platform was hit, rather than the CFTC-regulated US entity.
What Happened and How Polymarket RespondedAccording to Unchained, the exchange was in cancel-only mode by 2:05pm ET, with relayer actions paused. At 2:33pm ET, Polymarket said it had fixed an issue affecting its international platform, that one of its third-party providers was compromised and that the matter had been referred to law enforcement. Its status page marked the incident resolved at 3:05pm ET.
In cancel-only mode, users can cancel open orders but no new orders or trades are processed. Polymarket later said trading was fully back online and that it is fully reimbursing all affected traders.
Polymarket has not published a loss figure or named the provider. Blockchain analytics firm Arkham data cited by Decrypt shows a wallet flagged as the suspected attacker holds about $2.65 million in $POL, following multiple USDC.e-to-POL swaps through Relay. Other trackers have put the figure slightly higher, with one social media account alleging losses of $2.68 million, as reported by crypto.news.
A person familiar with the matter told CNBC the issue stemmed from a hack of DebugBear, a UK-based website performance monitoring company, according to a report by RG.org. DebugBear said it was impacted by an ongoing security incident and asked customers using its real user monitoring product to remove its embed code. Polymarket has not confirmed the provider's identity.
Second Vendor-Linked Attack Since JuneThe breach follows a similar incident in June. Security firm Halborn reported that Polymarket users lost an estimated $3 million in a supply chain attack, in which the attacker compromised a third-party vendor to insert malicious code into the Polymarket frontend. The Defiant reported that the company pledged full refunds to fewer than 15 affected accounts.
The repeated pattern points to a wider risk for crypto platforms. Attacks routed through outside vendors can bypass smart contract code altogether, which means a platform's own audits may not catch them. Polymarket has not yet released a detailed technical report on the latest incident.

Decrypt: Polymarket Pauses Trading as Prediction Market Investigates Security Incident
Halborn: Explained, The Polymarket Hack (June 2026)
Top crypto exchange Binance is suspected of having been hacked for more than $5 billion, according to data from the on-chain intelligence platform Arkham. The exchange said it is investigating the incident but has not yet provided details on what happened.
Binance Appears to Suffer Hack of Over $5 Billion
According to Arkham data, the hacker appears to have stolen over $5.6 billion from the exchange’s wallets. The largest of these coins is USDT, which is worth nearly $1.6 billion. Other coins include Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, Tron, and RLUSD.
Binance confirmed in an X post that its team was aware of reports of a potential security issue and was actively investigating. “User funds are completely safe,” the top crypto exchange assured. It also mentioned that it will provide more updates once the security teams are done reviewing all relevant information.
Binance’s founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao also said that the exchange appears to have been hacked. “It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m),” CZ said in an X post. He also mentioned that users’ funds are safe despite this.
User funds are safe!
It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).
I don’t manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.
— CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance) October 29, 2026
Meanwhile, Tether and Circle confirmed they froze the stolen USDT and USDC assets, worth $1.567 billion and $800 million, respectively. It is worth noting that the hack comes on the same day that crypto prediction market platform Polymarket suffered a security incident, in which some users’ funds were drained.
It also comes just over a month after fellow crypto exchange Bitget suffered an exploit of nearly $400 million. If confirmed, the Binance hack could become the largest crypto hack to date, surpassing the $3.5 billion LuBian hack in 2020 and the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in 2025.
Cryptocurrency markets declined sharply on Thursday following reports of significant suspicious activity involving Binance-affiliated wallets. The incident prompted a wave of selling as concerns over a possible security breach unsettled investors across the sector.
Suspicious Transfers Raise ConcernsBlockchain security group Blockaid reported that it had flagged transactions totaling around $3.3 billion in suspicious transfers related to Binance-linked addresses. Meanwhile, analytics platform Arkham Intelligence estimated that wallets tagged “binance-hacker-1029” controlled approximately $5.84 billion in assets. Neither platform confirmed that the reported figures equated to the actual value lost to an exploit, but the volume of activity was enough to stoke fears of a large-scale security incident.
The reports triggered a negative response across digital asset markets, with the native token BNB seeing some of the heftiest losses. Ongoing uncertainty surrounding the legitimacy and scale of the potential breach appeared to fuel further liquidations.
Price Action and Market ImpactBNB, which operates as the primary cryptocurrency of the BNB Chain, traded near $702 after dropping 7.2% within a 24-hour window. Major cryptocurrencies also declined in tandem. Bitcoin, the world’s largest digital asset, slipped 3.1% to roughly $78,674, while Ether retreated 4% to $2,263 based on CoinGecko data provided during the drawdown.
The broader market reflected similar weakness, with total cryptocurrency market capitalization decreasing by 3.3% to settle around $2.73 trillion. At the same time, trading activity surged as participants repositioned, with 24-hour market volume rising by nearly 29% to register $89.4 billion.
Binance has launched an investigation into a potential security issue, assuring users that all funds remained “completely safe.” Both Tether and Circle reported that they had frozen over $2.3 billion in stablecoins believed to be connected to the suspicious activity.
Response from Major PlayersIn response to unfolding developments, Binance stated that it was actively probing the situation and reiterated that no user assets were at risk. Tether and Circle, two of the leading stablecoin issuers, took preventive action by freezing assets exceeding $2.3 billion that were associated with flagged wallet addresses.
These coordinated responses underscored the rapid actions taken by key industry actors during suspected security events. The intervention by both firms aimed to limit the movement and possible laundering of stolen funds if a breach were ultimately confirmed.
Significant price volatility often accompanies news of security threats in the crypto space. For traders monitoring sudden shifts like BNB’s rapid decline and increased trading volumes, CryptoAppsy’s real-time charting and smart price alert tools can offer a timely way to track critical price movements and set customizable notifications as events unfold.
The digital asset sector has faced ongoing scrutiny surrounding cybersecurity vulnerabilities, which has prompted some market analysts to call for improved transparency and quicker communication when incidents are detected.
While the exact details and financial impact of the Binance wallet activity remain uncertain, investors and market observers will be closely following updates as the investigation proceeds.
