October 29, 2026 put a venue break and a pile of filings on the same day. Attackers began moving assets out of Binance hot wallets. The desk special follows the clock, the freeze, and the bill. This brief does not retell that piece.
The other papers are the rest of the day. The UK Financial Conduct Authority said HTX, formerly Huobi, gave High Court undertakings to stop unlawful crypto promotions to UK consumers, and that the platform is no longer active in the UK. Strategy Inc filed third-quarter results, including a digital-asset gain of about $20.91 billion, and said its chief financial officer will leave on November 5. Coinbase filed a third-quarter deck the same afternoon: total revenue $1,215.6 million, net income $718.7 million. Stablecoin Development Corporation disclosed a holding of about 2.33 billion SKY tokens as of October 26.
Reth shipped version 2.9.0. Kraken reported a short Solana funding delay and marked it resolved the same morning. Figures below come from those documents, not a later market snapshot. See Bitcoin’s history and the exchange glossary.
FCA says HTX will stop unlawful UK crypto promotions
The Financial Conduct Authority said on October 29, 2026 that it had secured High Court undertakings from HTX, the exchange formerly called Huobi. HTX agreed it will not knowingly promote cryptoasset services unlawfully to UK consumers. The FCA said it sued in October 2025 after HTX failed to engage, and that a settlement was reached with Huobi Global S.A. The notice says HTX is no longer active in the UK, consumers can no longer make deposits, and new UK users cannot sign up.
Strategy reports a $20.91 billion digital-asset gain and a CFO exit
Strategy Inc's October 29, 2026 Form 8-K furnished third-quarter results. The press release exhibit reports a digital-asset gain of about $20.91 billion and diluted earnings per share of $44.75. As of October 25, 2026 the company held 848,517 bitcoin, with a cost basis of $64.02 billion. The same release says Andrew Kang resigns as chief financial officer effective November 5, 2026, for personal reasons and with no disagreement, and that STRC daily dividends start November 1, 2026 after the October 28 shareholder vote.
Coinbase's October 29, 2026 earnings deck, filed with that day's Form 8-K, puts third-quarter total revenue at $1,215.6 million, flat on the quarter and down 35% from a year earlier. Transaction revenue was $590.2 million. Subscription and services revenue was $570.2 million, 49% of net revenue. Net income was $718.7 million. The deck's adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP figure, was $332.9 million, up 60% on the quarter. The same deck says prediction-market revenue passed $200 million on an annualized basis.
Stablecoin Development holds about 2.33 billion SKY
Stablecoin Development Corporation's Form 8-K, with an October 29, 2026 report date, says the company engages in SKY-related on-chain activity, including staking. As of October 26, 2026 it held approximately 2.33 billion SKY tokens. The filing furnishes a third-quarter press release as Exhibit 99.1. The share ticker is SDEV on NYSE American. The 8-K itself does not add a revenue figure in that SKY sentence, so this item stops at the token count the filing states.
Binance's incident notice describes unauthorized transfers out of hot wallets beginning October 29, 2026. The company later put the amount affected at about $6.3 billion. Deposits stayed open in the updates that followed. Withdrawals were suspended while the firm said it would cover customers from its own funds and the SAFU reserve. The long clock, the interview lure, and the freeze tally are in the desk special, not in this item.
Paradigm published Reth v2.9.0 on October 29, 2026 at 12:36 UTC. The release replaces revm with evm2. On a test of 500 Ethereum mainnet blocks, the notes report throughput up 10.0% and median block time down 10.5%. The change is breaking for SDK users. The notes say node operators do not change configuration. The downgrade path given in the release is v2.8.1.
Kraken marks a short Solana funding delay resolved
Kraken's status page opened a Solana funding incident at 08:47 UTC on October 29, 2026 and marked it resolved at 09:11 UTC. The notice said deposits and withdrawals might be delayed, and that other funding methods were operating normally. The page did not publish a count of affected transfers. Buys and sells on the spot book were not the subject of this notice.
