Mercado Bitcoin hacked — $11M blocked, services down Brazil's Mercado Bitcoin was hit by a hack on November 2, with $11 million in assets blocked and platform services still suspended. The exchange has promised customers won't lose funds — a reassuring pledge, except it comes with no identified reimbursement source and no deadline attached. "Trust us" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Topic
Crypto & trading — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 9 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 82% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and the other topics.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
What this channel posts

Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
Recent posts
Telegram’s own ‘edited’ marker: 0 of 4 posts held from the last 30 days (0%) carried it when this register last read them. The marker says a post was changed after publishing, not what it said before — this register holds the earlier wording only where an edit fell between two of its own reads (see the edit ledger and how it is measured).
Ethereum patches Glamsterdam bug that could have misrouted staking deposits A flaw in Ethereum's upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade could have accidentally redirected staking deposits to block builders — not exactly where validators want their ETH ending up. Developers initially rejected the fix, then reversed course after testing delays bought them extra time to scrutinize the issue more carefully. Slow timelines occasi…

📰 COLDCARD's X Account Hijacked to Harvest Seed Phrases A phishing post appeared on COLDCARD's official X account, directing Bitcoin users to a fake wallet-migration site designed to steal recovery phrases.

⚖️ Clarity Act Dies in Senate; Regulators Move In With Congress unable to pass the Clarity Act, the SEC, CFTC, and the Fed didn't wait around — they moved within days to draft crypto rules themselves.

Agencies writing their own rules without a Congressional mandate is faster, but far less stable — the ne…
₿ Bitcoin Eyes Breakout at $81.5K — One Wall Remains Bitcoin has clawed back from its latest pullback and is pressing against the upper edge of its consolidation range — again. At around $81.5K, BTC is sitting at a level where a confirmed break could open the door to another leg higher, according to the analysis. The word "confirmed" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Until price actually clears the boundary wit…
📰 Circle Pays $400M to Challenge Tether in Emerging Markets Circle is acquiring payments firm Tazapay for $400M — a bet that USDC can crack the emerging markets where Tether has dominated for years. The strategic logic is blunt: those payment rails and local relationships "take years to build," and Circle is buying them instead. With stablecoins' "next battleground in emerging markets," according to one expert, Cir…

Showing the 12 most recent of 38 posts we hold for @cryptonewspaper. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Posts recorded as deleted after publishing
We recorded 6 posts on @cryptonewspaper as deleted — posts this register held that were missing from the channel’s public page on two separate reads, taken from different network addresses at least an hour apart.
A deletion is not wrongdoing. This register can see that a post it held is no longer on the channel’s public page, and when — not why. Expired ad placements, reposts, rotating links and corrections all look the same. This is a count of recorded detections, not an exact total: it misses deletions we could not see, because only a post we held and later re-read inside the page can be seen to go, and it may include a small number of wrong records. How this is measured.

Mentions
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
