PSA: It’s journalistic malpractice to quote a tech super PAC claiming a voter mandate because its candidates won “29 of 32” general election races without checking how many of those races were competitive. (Pictured: Fairshake’s “victory”, where 81% of their money backed candidates who lost) #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics

If you spend $200K each on ads that never mention crypto for 9 candidates who were guaranteed to win, and $64M on one competitive race which your candidate loses, you don’t get to claim your “90% win rate” proves Americans support your industry’s political goals. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown. https://www.citationneeded.news/2026-election-results/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #AI #artificialIntelligence #USpol #USpolitics #midterms

Crypto- and AI-focused super PACs have poured nearly $250 million into this year’s elections. Tonight we find out what it bought. Here’s my guide to the races to watch, where the money went, and which results could embarrass the industry: https://www.citationneeded.news/2026-election-guide/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #USpol #USpolitics #citationNeededNewsletter

Binance hasn’t REcovered $6B+, it’s COVERING it (reimbursing customers from company funds). Some was frozen, but Binance is not likely to recover even half. Bad headlines like this are a big part of why I started covering crypto. Generalist reporters on deadline far too often end up repeating company spin. #crypto #cryptocurrency #journalism

“On X, prominent traders complained that they had lost money; blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps reported that around 700 users appeared to have been affected, with approximately $2.7 million stolen.” #crypto “Polymarket Halted International Trading After Hackers Drained Accounts”

“Polymarket referred the incident to UK law enforcement and pledged to reimburse affected traders. By Friday afternoon, it said 95% of affected wallets had been refunded. The company said it was returning $3.9 million in total: $2.7 million for stolen funds and another $1.2 million to cover losses linked to the trading pause.” #crypto

North Korea’s timing was inconsiderate; I’m in the middle of an election night guide to crypto and AI super PAC spending (subscribe to get it before Tuesday!). But I wrote up a primer on the Binance hack, answering questions I’ve gotten about North Korea: https://www.citationneeded.news/its-always-north-korea/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #binance #NorthKorea #DPRK

Updated: Binance estimates its losses at ~$3B+, making this the largest exploit in crypto history — twice the size of 2025’s Bybit hack, now in second place. Binance blames a compromised devops laptop. North Korea, also behind Bybit, is the suspected culprit. https://www.citationneeded.news/binance-theft/ #binance #crypto #cryptocurrency

I wrote up what we know about the Binance hack so far. By my best estimate, Binance is out $1.5–$3 billion after stablecoin issuers froze what they could. Changpeng Zhao is promising Binance will cover it, but he’s legally barred from running the company. https://www.citationneeded.news/binance-theft/ #binance #crypto #cryptocurrency
