📰 Here are 6 crypto headlines to start your Friday:

Bitcoin rebounds from $75.2K, crypto ETFs shed over $500M, the White House reviews an SEC broker proposal, Zcash upgrades, WLFI plans buybacks, and insurers reassess crypto risk after the Binance hack.

1/6 Bitcoin reclaimed $76K early Friday after falling near $75.2K. Thursday’s tech selloff drove more than $1B in crypto liquidations. This morning’s U.S. jobs report showed 165K jobs added in October, well above the 65K forecast.

2/6 U.S. spot crypto ETFs saw more than $500M in combined net outflows Thursday. Bitcoin funds alone lost roughly $430M, reversing Wednesday’s return to net inflows.

3/6 The White House is reviewing an SEC proposal on how broker-dealer rules apply to crypto. The SEC’s agenda points to possible changes to capital, customer protection and recordkeeping requirements. The draft text hasn’t been released.

4/6 Zcash’s NU7 upgrade is live. It cuts the target time between blocks from 75 to 25 seconds and reduces the data wallets need to scan for private payments. Actual block times were still adjusting after activation.

5/6 World Liberty Financial plans more $WLFI buybacks after the token fell more than 66% this year. The Trump family-backed project says fees earned on reserves backing its USD1 stablecoin could help fund the purchases.

6/6 The $6.3B Binance hack is putting crypto insurance under the microscope. Reuters reports that underwriters are expected to ask tougher questions at renewal about firms’ exposure to Binance and whether they share the security weaknesses exploited in the attack.

📰 Here are 6 crypto headlines to start your Thursday:

Bitcoin tests $80K, Canary’s staked INJ ETF gets a Nasdaq listing, XRP Ledger patches a bug, American Bitcoin swings to profit, Schroders brings a fund to Solana, and Arkansas sues Kalshi.

1/6 Bitcoin traded near $80,250 early Thursday after Wednesday’s rebound. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs also snapped a three-session streak of net outflows.

2/6 Canary’s Staked INJ ETF gets a Nasdaq listing under $INJC. The fund holds Injective’s native token and stakes it, with accrued rewards reflected in the fund’s net asset value.

3/6 XRP Ledger patches a token issuance bug. The fix went live Wednesday, closing a loophole that could let accounts authorized to burn issued tokens also create them. XRP itself was unaffected.

4/6 American Bitcoin reports $126M in Q3 net income, reversing a $57M loss the prior quarter. The swing was driven mainly by a $197M gain on digital assets. The miner ended the quarter with 8,427 BTC.

5/6 Schroders brings its first fund to Solana. The asset manager launched a tokenized version of its actively managed emerging markets debt strategy on Wednesday through Centrifuge.

6/6 Arkansas sues Kalshi. The state attorney general alleges the federally regulated prediction market is operating an illegal gambling business, adding to the fight over where federal derivatives oversight ends and state gambling law begins.
