NEAR Intents Recovers Full $3.8M After Security Breach
NEAR Intents says it recovered the full $3.8 million taken in a security breach after identifying the alleged exploiter and issuing a 48-hour deadline.

General manager Alex Shevchenko said the investigation would stop after the funds were returned. NEAR had previously pledged to reimburse affected users.

The Independent Community Bankers of America has sued the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in federal court, arguing that limited national trust charters for crypto companies exceed the regulator’s statutory authority. The group says the charters give digital-asset firms federal credibility without safeguards applied to insured banks.

Crypto Capital Is Returning, but Investors Are Cutting the Premium
Crypto companies are again chasing multibillion-dollar valuations, though public-market enthusiasm is more selective.

Facts
The supplied candidate identifies PURR perpetual on Hyperliquid and reports a funding_threshold_crossing event.
The candidate reports funding changing from 0.0001343459 to 0.0004011265, liquidity=1.26409e+08, and volume24h=5.18863e+06.
The candidate supplies published_at=2026-10-02T10:03:04.303458+00:00 and score=75, attributed solely to the funding threshold crossing.
The candidate labels its source official, but neither that assertion nor the market data has been independently verified.
Risks
Funding units, settlement interval, threshold definition, and observation timestamps for the two readings are unspecified.
Liquidity and volume units and methodologies are unspecified; reported liquidity does not establish executable order-book depth.
No price history, open interest, spreads, funding persistence, or independent catalyst evidence is supplied.
Funding can reverse quickly; leveraged perpetual positions carry liquidation and execution risks.
The supplied snapshot may no longer represent current market conditions.
