Blockchain analytics firm Global Ledger's latest investigation shows that the Russian cryptocurrency exchange Garantex, which was placed under sanctions by the West, is resuming operations and continues to process funds through a hidden payment architecture. Despite its servers being previously seized and its business being targeted by the international community, on-chain evidence indicates that the platform has quietly restarted recently and has transferred tens of millions of dollars in assets to users. The investigation found that researchers tracked multiple new wallets associated with Garantex on the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks, holding a total of over $34 million in cryptocurrency, with at least $25 million already paid to former users. The flow of funds also reveals how they evade monitoring: Garantex uses mixing tools like Tornado Cash to obfuscate reserves, then jumps across networks via cross-chain bridges between Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, and others, ultimately consolidating into an aggregation wallet before transferring out to multiple payment accounts.

ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin-based stablecoin protocol BSD has officially launched the Dual Stacking feature. Users who lock sBTC collateral in the BSD Vault can now simultaneously earn a 5% sBTC annualized yield. This means the same collateral can serve two roles at once: securing the user's credit line and earning Bitcoin yield. The Vault will begin generating yield in the next Stacking cycle (around December 3), with the first batch of yield expected to be distributed around December 17. According to BSD officials, the protocol's minimum annualized borrowing rate is currently 0%. The borrowing cost for some Vaults is about 0.1%, and after earning a 5% yield on collateral, users' net borrowing cost can drop to -4.9%, meaning users are effectively paid to borrow.

ChainCatcher news, the topic of comparing the valuations of Ethereum and Amazon is causing heated discussion on X. Santiago, founder of Inversion Capital, believes that Ethereum is overvalued. He stated that ETH's price-to-sales ratio (valuation of $380 billion, annual revenue of $1 billion) is much higher than Amazon's; even during the internet bubble, Amazon's price-to-sales ratio never exceeded 28 times. The price Ethereum holders pay for every $1 of revenue is about 146 times what Amazon investors paid back then. He believes Amazon is also a successful network. Whether it's a company or a network, its pricing depends on the economic benefits it generates (revenue and cash flow), and TVL, collateralized assets, or settlement volume are not revenue. Ethereum treasury company SharpLink, on the other hand, stated that traditional valuation models do not apply to Ethereum: Ama

This vision has driven him to invest in several companies exploring cutting-edge aerospace technologies.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) announced on Wednesday that the US services index rose slightly by 0.2 to a nine-month high of 52.6. A reading above 50 indicates the sector is in expansion. The ISM services and materials prices paid index showed the slowest growth rate in seven months. Although still at historically high levels, this figure suggests inflationary pressures have eased somewhat. The overall services index was supported by longer supplier delivery times and further improvement in business activity. The supplier deliveries index rose by 3.3 points, reaching its highest level in over a year. This increase may reflect challenges businesses face with tariffs as they seek product sources in a complex trade environment. The business activity index climbed to a three-month high of 54.5. Meanwhile, order growth slowed from a one-year high. Employment in the services sector showed further signs of stabilizing. The employment index rose to a six-month high of 48.9, indicating a slower pace of job declines. According to an ISM survey

Japan is preparing to reform its Crypto Assets tax rules by imposing a uniform 20% tax rate on trading profits, allowing digital assets to enjoy the same treatment as mainstream investments such as stocks and investment trusts. According to the Nikkei News, this marks a significant shift in Japan's approach to handling profits from Crypto Assets, which is expected to alleviate long-standing frustrations among investors. According to the plan, starting from 2026, the income from Crypto Assets trading will no longer be combined with wages or business income, but will be subject to a separate tax system: 15% will be paid to the central government, and 5% will be allocated to local governments. Currently, the gains from Crypto Assets are taxed at progressive rates, with a maximum of 55%, which can distort investor behavior. In contrast, stock and investment trust gains are uniformly taxed at 20%. Legislators supporting the reform believe that reducing the tax burden can invigorate market trading, encourage innovation in the blockchain and technology sectors, and promote digital assets as a standard investment category.

Bitcoin has fallen 5% in the past 24 hours, dropping to a low of $85,694, and is currently hovering around $86,800, a pullback of 31% from its historical high. Over the past month, the cumulative decline has exceeded 21%, with high Beta assets like Ethereum and Ripple also experiencing declines of 5.6% and 6.5%, respectively. Market risk aversion has increased, with CoinGlass data showing total liquidations reaching $637 million, of which long positions accounted for $568 million.

MicroStrategy holds approximately 649,870 Bitcoins, worth over $56 billion, and their statement has raised investor concerns about supply pressures.
