Trump projected to win 2024 US Presidential Election, world leaders congratulate him

Donald Trump is projected to win the 2024 US Presidential Election, with Vice President Kamala Harris expected to concede in a speech at Howard University. The stock markets have responded positively to the news, with the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and DOW all rising. The Kremlin has released a statement expressing their belief that any ruling political party in the US is "anti-Russian" and that they are under "no illusions" about a Trump victory. Seven states have approved measures to protect abortion rights. However, The Associated Press has not yet formally called the race due to outstanding votes in Wayne County, Michigan and Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

  • Bullish and Four Other Institutions Form Issuer-Led Tokenized Securities Alliance

    On September 24, CoinDesk reported that Bullish (NYSE:BLSH), along with shareholder services and market infrastructure company Equiniti, has formed the 'Issuer-Led Tokenized Securities Alliance' in collaboration with Alpaca, Apex Fintech Solutions, and DriveWealth. The alliance advocates for tokenized stocks to be directly linked to the issuer's official shareholder register, preserving voting rights, dividends, and corporate action rights, thereby avoiding synthetic products that only provide price exposure without legal rights. Key focus areas include shareholder rights protection, interoperability between traditional and on-chain infrastructure, issuance, transfer, settlement custody, and secondary market trading arrangements. This move follows the U.S. SEC's innovation exemption on September 17, which allows limited on-chain trading of U.S. listed stocks.

  • Bitget CEO: Recent Platform Attack Not Due to Key Leak, No Accurate Time for Withdrawal Recovery

    On September 25, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen publicly addressed the platform's recent attack during a live stream, stating that the platform is currently preparing to restore withdrawals, but there is no accurate timeline for recovery yet. Both internal and external technical teams at Bitget are working to identify the issues and develop solutions, aiming to restore relevant services as soon as possible. Gracy Chen noted that the method of attack in this theft incident differs from previous security events experienced by other exchanges. According to the current investigation, hackers did not execute the attack through key leaks; instead, they bypassed certain systems and initiated withdrawals through the system. She mentioned that a key leak would be the worst-case scenario, but this incident is not one of those. Due to the involvement of multiple cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks in this incident, Bitget cannot directly reopen withdrawals for the time being. Withdrawals will only be restored after confirming that funds are completely secure and a more robust handling plan is established. Gracy Chen stated that the platform has completed a comprehensive loss prevention measure and that no further attacks will occur; withdrawals will be reopened once the security issues are more definitively addressed.
  • Revolut Faces Data Breach Again, Involving Third Party DriveWealth

    On September 25, BeInCrypto reported that the U.S. brokerage DriveWealth confirmed unauthorized access to its network due to a social engineering attack from September 4 to 5.

Recent users were not affected. The leaked data may include names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, employment and identity information, as well as some account numbers; however, passwords, payment card information, bank details, and identification documents were not compromised. DriveWealth has directly contacted the affected customers, and Revolut followed up with an email. Additionally, another incident in September involving a spoofed government email affected approximately 680 customers.
