The CBOE Volatility Index surges 21.5% in the worst equities selloff since June, but Bitcoin obstinately defends the $80,000 psychological floor on the 39th anniversary of Black Monday. In this episode of Haia Talks, we examine the decoupling between legacy macro fear and crypto volatility, Hacken’s scathing Q3 forensics report revealing that 77% of $1.18B in hacked funds stemmed from off-chain audit scope blindspots, stablecoin annual payment volume jumping 45% to $482B despite a stagnant global supply, Deutsche Bank securing BaFin authorization to roll out institutional crypto custody under MiCA, and Cysic’s zero-knowledge bridge getting drained for $727,000 via an off-chain database exploit.
