Weekend Edition · Oct 17 — Ledger hack, MSCI index rules, and…

from QuantAlpha Digital Asset Update

Weekend Edition — the week in review. • Ledger wallet users lost over $86 million to devices secretly implanted and sold through Southeast Asian resellers — a supply-chain breach that shakes confidence in cold storage, crypto's default security model. • MSCI will bar non-operating firms from its Global Investable Market Indexes starting November 30, threatening Strategy and Metaplanet — ejection could trigger passive selling that weakens bitcoin treasury-company demand. • Bitcoin dropped below $82,000 midweek after hotter-than-expected core US inflation data revived fears of further Fed rate hikes — a reminder crypto still moves with macro liquidity expectations.
