According to Cointelegraph, the Cardano network experienced a temporary chain split due to a "malformed" delegation transaction. Such delegation transactions refer to transactions that delegate ADA to staking pools, which, while valid at the protocol level, may cause code failures and affect network functionality. According to an incident report released by Cardano ecosystem organization Intersect, the "malformed" transaction exploited an old code vulnerability in Cardano's underlying blockchain software library, causing nodes to diverge in how they processed the transaction, ultimately resulting in a network split. The vulnerability was triggered by an ADA staking pool operator named Homer J, who used AI-generated code to push the transaction and has admitted responsibility for causing the network split. Staking pool operators have been asked to download the latest version of the node software to fix the issue and reintegrate the split chains into a single, complete blockchain. This temporary split has sparked debate within the Cardano community, with some believing Homer J's actions helped expose a critical vulnerability, while others, such as Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, called it an attack on the Cardano network, and the FBI has launched an investigation. One user joked: "No one noticed Cardano's network partition because no one uses it."

Crypto trading indicator analysis platform CoinKarma posted on social media that, based on technical indicator CVD, after BTC lost key medium- and long-term levels this week, it has faced strong selling pressure for several consecutive days, accelerating the decline. However, we also noticed that spot trading volume at BTC daily close has reached recent highs across multiple trading platforms, indicating significant turnover in the market. This kind of heavy turnover and volume-stabilized structure is a typical short-term bottom signal.
On November 23, Bitwise advisor Jeff Park posted on social media that a notable phenomenon in the recent sell-off is that market volatility patterns are more akin to "strike price stickiness" rather than "Delta stickiness." (This means the sell-off was not driven by mechanical dynamic hedging by market makers, but by market participants' concentrated views and actions at specific price points—strike prices.) This is in stark contrast to market behavior during "unlock days." This pattern sends two possible signals: first, traders believe the market may see a quick rebound; second, volatility will likely remain at high levels.
On November 23, AI agent Port3 Network issued a security alert on social media this morning, stating that a hacker exploited a BridgeIn vulnerability to mint an additional 1 billion tokens. To protect users, the team has removed some liquidity and is preparing to communicate with the hacker. On-chain data shows the hacker dumped a large number of tokens on-chain but did not deposit them into CEX. Subsequently, the Port3 team removed on-chain liquidity, preventing the hacker from further cashing out. Some trading platforms also closed deposit channels. The hacker ultimately burned all remaining tokens. Market data shows that as of press time, this incident caused the PORT3 token to drop 82.8%, falling from $0.037 this morning to a low of $0.0066, now rebounding to $0.0086, with a market cap of only $4.05 million and FDV of $8.11 million.
On November 23, well-known Chinese crypto analyst Banmuxia posted on social media that bitcoin's "bullet is in the chamber" moment has arrived, and $80,500 can basically be confirmed as an important low for this bear market, possibly even the lowest point. However, this does not mean the bear market is over. This bear market has lasted for more than three months and could continue for another 3-4 months, but it is a sideways bear market. (ps: This is just analysis; specific trading should be planned accordingly. However, spot can be steadily bought and held until the next bull market ends.)
