Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown. https://www.citationneeded.news/2026-election-results/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #AI #artificialIntelligence #USpol #USpolitics #midterms

Crypto- and AI-focused super PACs have poured nearly $250 million into this year’s elections. Tonight we find out what it bought. Here’s my guide to the races to watch, where the money went, and which results could embarrass the industry: https://www.citationneeded.news/2026-election-guide/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #USpol #USpolitics #citationNeededNewsletter

Binance hasn’t REcovered $6B+, it’s COVERING it (reimbursing customers from company funds). Some was frozen, but Binance is not likely to recover even half. Bad headlines like this are a big part of why I started covering crypto. Generalist reporters on deadline far too often end up repeating company spin. #crypto #cryptocurrency #journalism

“On X, prominent traders complained that they had lost money; blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps reported that around 700 users appeared to have been affected, with approximately $2.7 million stolen.” #crypto “Polymarket Halted International Trading After Hackers Drained Accounts”

“Polymarket referred the incident to UK law enforcement and pledged to reimburse affected traders. By Friday afternoon, it said 95% of affected wallets had been refunded. The company said it was returning $3.9 million in total: $2.7 million for stolen funds and another $1.2 million to cover losses linked to the trading pause.” #crypto

North Korea’s timing was inconsiderate; I’m in the middle of an election night guide to crypto and AI super PAC spending (subscribe to get it before Tuesday!). But I wrote up a primer on the Binance hack, answering questions I’ve gotten about North Korea: https://www.citationneeded.news/its-always-north-korea/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #binance #NorthKorea #DPRK

Updated: Binance estimates its losses at ~$3B+, making this the largest exploit in crypto history — twice the size of 2025’s Bybit hack, now in second place. Binance blames a compromised devops laptop. North Korea, also behind Bybit, is the suspected culprit. https://www.citationneeded.news/binance-theft/ #binance #crypto #cryptocurrency

Binance says security incident had estimated $6.3B impact, $3B in assets frozen https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/binance-says-security-incident-had-estimated-6-3b-impact-3b-assets-frozen #Business #Crypto #CyberSecurity

I wrote up what we know about the Binance hack so far. By my best estimate, Binance is out $1.5–$3 billion after stablecoin issuers froze what they could. Changpeng Zhao is promising Binance will cover it, but he’s legally barred from running the company. https://www.citationneeded.news/binance-theft/ #binance #crypto #cryptocurrency

i’ve been writing about crypto for a while now, but this new addition to the $TRUMP memecoin website fine print may be the most blatant “lol you suckers are our exit liquidity” i’ve seen so far (CIC Digital is just a shell company Trump uses for the $​TRUMP memecoin and some other projects; it’s wholly owned by Trump’s revocable trust) #crypto #cryptocurrency
