NEW: South Korea is likely to postpone its cryptocurrency tax plan for the fourth time, according to a Newsis report.
The presidential office reportedly told local media that it is discussing delaying the tax, which is currently scheduled to take effect in January 2027.
The delay reportedly aims to align with the US timeline under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), which the US is set to implement in 2029. CARF is the OECD’s international standard for bringing digital assets under global tax rules and enabling automatic exchange of transaction data between tax authorities.
THE BLOCK: Bitcoin and gold are the two worst-performing major assets so far in 2026, with $BTC down 7.3% and gold down 7.5%, according to Charlie Bilello, Chief Market Strategist at Creative Planning.
Bilello noted this is the first time the two have ranked at the bottom together in any calendar year in his data.
THE BLOCK: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing criticism after proposing cryptocurrency as a way for the country to bypass potential international sanctions, Reuters reports.
More than 100 economists, including former Bank of Israel officials and Nobel laureates, signed a letter warning that the plan risks economic isolation.
THE BLOCK: Timothy Wadsworth, a 35-year-old man in Rochester, was sentenced to more than 4 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $810,965 for conspiring to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
He used Stripe to process unauthorized credit card payments totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, then moved funds via bank accounts to Coinbase to buy bitcoin ($BTC) and transfer it to co-conspirators. The scheme caused more than $2 million in losses.
THE BLOCK: Open-source Bitcoin hardware maker Foundation said it has identified spam emails that came from its official domains.
The company traced the issue to one or more compromised Cloudflare API keys, which it has since revoked. It also took down the malicious domain used in the emails.
Foundation stated that funds stored on Passport devices remain safe and that the hardware itself was not compromised. This comes amid an unprecedented, AI-fueled global cybersecurity crisis.
THE BLOCK: Franklin Templeton will soon launch ETFs that hold U.S. stocks and reinvest any dividends into bitcoin, with a target of a 5% $BTC allocation, NovaDius Wealth President Nate Geraci said.

THE BLOCK: Indian crypto exchange CoinDCX admits it lost $16M from old wallets compromised in its July 2025 hack after a failed sweeping service let user deposits pile up there.
Its CEO had called breach reports "a false alarm" on Wednesday.
CoinDCX says it absorbed the loss.
THE BLOCK: A researcher published 11 unpatched flaws in VPN service Tailscale, arguing that “infrastructure is vulnerable today.” In lab tests, a user with approved Tailscale SSH access could gain root access and spread to other devices on the network. Tailscale has not yet issued a fix.
Tailscale is a VPN service, built on WireGuard, that people use to log into their own computers and servers from anywhere. Umbrel, a home server platform used to run bitcoin nodes, calls it “the easiest way” to reach an Umbrel remotely in its support docs.
Erica Windisch of Cyberdione Labs ran the tests between Oct. 22 and 24 on Tailscale’s latest client. Her report, linked below, says to turn off SSH forwarding for now.
Tailscale VP of Engineering Mike Shaver said on Reddit that the company has received the report and is “not recommending that everyone disable Tailscale SSH.” He said the issues concern what happens after someone is authorized to connect, which “isn’t the same as an unauthenticated attacker being able to connect to arbitrary machines.” In a reply, Shaver confirmed the flaws affect Tailscale’s own SSH feature, not regular SSH run over a Tailscale connection. Tailscale plans to publish a security advisory with patches.
