PANews reported on November 3 that Berachain posted on its X platform: "Berachain validators have taken coordinated action to voluntarily suspend the Berachain network so that the core team can implement an emergency hard fork to address the vulnerability attack related to Balancer V2 on BEX. This suspension was proactive, and the network will resume operation soon after all affected funds have been recovered." In addition, Smokey the Bera, an anonymous co-founder of Berachain, stated: "The Bera validator team has proactively suspended chain operations to prevent the Balancer vulnerability attack affecting BEX (mainly the USDe three pools) from spreading further. We have requested the Ethena team to disable cross-chain bridge functionality for transferring assets out of the Bera chain; we have instructed lending markets to disable/suspend USDe deposit operations; we have suspended HONEY minting/redemption operations; and we have communicated with centralized exchanges (CEXs) and other institutions to ensure that relevant addresses are blacklisted. The goal is to recover funds as quickly as possible and ensure the safety of funds for all liquidity providers (LPs). Once the team is ready, it will release the binary to relevant validators and service providers (because this liquidity pool contains non-native assets, unlike simply modifying the Bera chain balance, some slot reconstruction work is required)." According to previous reports, as monitored by PyDun, Balancer and its forked projects have suffered total losses of over $128 million across multiple blockchains.PANews reported on November 3 that Berachain posted on its X platform: "Berachain validators have taken coordinated action to voluntarily suspend the Berachain network so that the core team can implement an emergency hard fork to address the vulnerability attack related to Balancer V2 on BEX.

SEC’s Paul Atkins says crypto companies no longer have ‘burdensome’ regulatory requirements
The post SEC’s Paul Atkins says crypto companies no longer have ‘burdensome’ regulatory requirements appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The SEC is flipping the table on crypto regulation. Chairman Paul Atkins said on Fox Business that the agency wants to roll out a new “innovation exemption” by the end of this year. This rule would let crypto firms launch products straight into the market without having to follow rules that don’t match the technology. The decisions follow months of legal cleanup, as Atkins confirmed the SEC has already dropped several crypto enforcement actions filed under former Chair Gary Gensler, saying those cases were “burdensome” and didn’t make sense anymore. According to the Mornings with Maria interview, this exemption is part of a broader effort to give the crypto industry a stable regulatory floor to build from. “We’re trying to give the marketplace some kind of stable platform upon which they can introduce their products,” Paul said. The SEC has also created a new crypto task force to help structure what he called a “new approach” to crypto oversight. Paul floated the innovation exemption idea back in July, but this is the first time he’s committed to a deadline. Since Donald Trump’s return to the Oval, the vibe at the SEC has clearly changed. Paul made it clear that crypto firms should not have to “comply with incompatible or burdensome prescriptive regulatory requirements.” Paul calls for fewer reports, more IPOs, and tighter rulemaking with CFTC Paul also wants to cut down on how often companies report earnings. He told Maria Bartiromo the current quarterly system is outdated, and backed Trump’s suggestion that companies should report just twice a year. Paul pointed out that before 1970, U.S. public companies didn’t report every quarter. “Foreign companies listed in the U.S. only report every six months,” he said, arguing it’s time to review whether the current structure still makes sense. He also noted…
