Every few months, Crypto Twitter dusts off its favorite bedtime story:
“The dollar’s collapsing. The Fed’s out of ammo. Hyperinflation is coming. Bitcoin fixes this.”

It’s a great narrative — apocalyptic enough to get clicks, optimistic enough to sell hope.
But here’s the inconvenient truth: fiat never dies. It just rebrands.

Currencies have been “collapsing” for thousands of years, yet somehow governments always find a new way to print, tax, or distract their way out of the grave. Rome debased its coins, Weimar printed wallpaper, and now we’ve got the digital equivalent — QE, CBDCs, and endless debt ceilings that nobody actually respects.

The dollar’s not strong because it’s backed by gold. It’s strong because it’s backed by debt, guns, and habit. And until something breaks all three at once, fiat’s not going anywhere.

That doesn’t mean crypto’s narrative is wrong — it’s just early. Bitcoin is the antidote to fiat rot… but adoption takes decades, not news cycles. You can’t replace the global reserve currency with a meme and a hardware wallet overnight.

So when you see “the end of fiat” trending, remember:
The end of fiat isn’t an event — it’s a process.
It’s slow, uneven, and happening in the background while everyone argues about rate cuts.

And if you zoom out, maybe that’s the beauty of it.
Fiat doesn’t need to die for crypto to win — it just needs to lose a little credibility every cycle.

🚨 Our Report
It turns out the next crypto crime wave isn’t coming from basement coders with caffeine addictions—it’s coming from the state‑backed, AI‑empowered hackers of North Korea. These groups are deploying large language models and automation tools to scan smart contracts, launch phishing campaigns, and launder stolen crypto with near‑industrial precision. One expert even says that AI, not quantum computing, is the real “soon‑to‑break‑everything” threat to the blockchain world. And with billions already reportedly siphoned off, this isn’t sci‑fi—it’s market reality.

🔓 Key Points

🔐 Relevance
For the savvy investor, this story is a wake‑up call. While everyone’s busy fretting over quantum doomsday or “when will Bitcoin hit $200 k?”, the more immediate threat to value lies in execution risk: protocols, wallets and exchanges getting compromised not because of tomorrow’s tech, but because attackers now use today’s tech smarter and faster.
If a small state‑backed team armed with AI can roll multiple chains in one hit, the idea of “smart contract audit once, ship it, no worries” is obsolete. Risk management must evolve: continuous AI‑aware auditing, better code hygiene, funneling of funds through more vigilantly monitored pathways. For exchanges with huge custody operations, the message is loud and clear: integrate AI‑defence tools or get bypassed.
On a macro level: when hacks scale like this, it drags liquidity, shakes confidence, and heightens regulatory scrutiny. Investors may pivot away from protocols deemed weak or legacy, favoring those with demonstrable resilience—or withdraw entirely until the fever subsides. The criminal narrative is shifting fast: state‑sponsored hackers + AI = crypto’s new “terror twin”. If you thought the doubling of DeFi insurance covers was enough—think again.

The crypto space is tip‑toeing out of its shell, not charging in. Bitcoin is holding above ~$113K, showing structural stability after a bruising liquidation wave earlier in October. Altcoins are inching higher‑‑fear is still the predominant mood (the Fear & Greed index remains in “Fear” territory). Liquidity is returning but conviction isn’t.

Notable Movers

Macro View
Several macro levers are nudging crypto into “risk‑on” mode: improving U.S.–China trade dialogue is boosting sentiment, inflation cooled more than expected, and expectation of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve is high. But all of this is baked into the price partially; the market is still waiting for a trigger that convinces it to sprint rather than trot. On‑chain data: futures funding is normalized, perpetual volumes low—spot accumulation appears to be dominating.

Bottom Line
The market isn’t diving anymore; it’s creeping higher. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the safe benches for now, with altcoins showing selective strength. If Bitcoin breaks above $114K with conviction, we might see broader speculative flows. Until then, expect range‑bound moves and caution prevailing over euphoria.
