Robinhood’s shares fell 3.1% in after-market trading on Monday after the stocks and cryptocurrencies trading app acknowledged a Nov. 3 security data breach in a blog post.

  • “An unauthorized third party obtained access to a limited amount of personal information for a portion of our customers,” the popular trading platform said in the Monday blog post.
  • After Robinhood contained the breach, the hacker(s) demanded an extortion payment, according to the company, which immediately contacted the authorities.
  • The company said the unnamed third party obtained a list of email addresses for about five million people and full names for a different group of approximately two million people.
  • Robinhood assured its customers the attack had been contained and that no personal information such as Social Security, bank account or debit card numbers were exposed.
  • The company also stated that the breach didn’t cause financial loss for any customers.
  • However, the company also said the hack had compromised the personal information of 310 accounts, including name, date of birth, and zip code, and exposed more extensive information for 10 customers.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

Was Sie wissen sollten:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Coinbase’s Base faces builder backlash over creator coin push

Builders on Base are pushing back against the network’s close alignment with Zora, arguing the creator-coin narrative sidelines established projects.

Was Sie wissen sollten:

  • Base has seen a surge in creator-coin issuance via Zora, with daily token mints surpassing Solana in August, boosting onchain activity and attention.
  • Some Base-native projects say marketing and social support has become narrowly focused on Zora-linked initiatives, leaving other established communities without recognition.
  • While Base continues to process more than 10 million transactions per day, critics warn that deteriorating builder sentiment could push projects toward rival chains like Solana or Sui.
