There have been no new, clearly datable events in our segment over the past 24 hours, so we are providing a weekly overview. The new development of the week: on 30 October, Trezor officially warned about a Safe 5 sold by CryptoBilis with a reported hardware implant, marking the first time Trezor has been affected by the same supply chain attack we covered for Ledger on 16 and 27 October. With practical advice for Baltic and Nordic buyers.

Crypto 28.10.2026: BTC around $81,000, Fed holds rates

On Wednesday, 28th October, the crypto market concluded a moderately positive day, centred on the Fed's decision to keep rates in the 3.75-4.00% range (10-2 vote). Bitcoin traded around $81,220 (The Motley Fool, ~20:17 UTC, approx. +0.52% in 24 hours) to $80,908 (KuCoin, 00:00 UTC, approx. +0.97%), Ethereum around $2,363 (approx. +0.68%). Both remained in negative territory for the week (BTC approx. -3.4%, ETH approx. -5.1%) after the liquidation wave on 24th October (approx. $436 million). Spot BTC ETFs attracted approx. $286 million on 26th-27th October, but Ether funds remained on the outflow side. In the background: Crypto.com/OG.com US perpetual contracts launch (27.10.), X100 hack (24.10., approx. $4.75 million), and new Bitcoin Core vulnerabilities.

Segment Review 29.10.2026: CASP and Wallet Security

There has been no new, clearly datable significant event in the segment over the last 24 hours – so this is an explanation and watchlist edition. We look at the regional CASP landscape (around 377 licences in the EEA as of 19.10.2026), Payward's 14 October agreement to buy Lithuania's Saldo Bank, and the hardware wallet reseller security story.

Stablecoin Deadline 28.10.2026: CASP Watchlist

Today, we are publishing an explanatory piece as there have been no definitively dated new developments in the Baltic and Nordic CASP segment in the last 24 hours. The focus is on ESMA's 8 October 2026 opinion, which requires MiCA-licensed service providers to cease services for non-compliant stablecoins (e.g., USDT) to EU clients, with an approximate 8 January 2027 deadline for liquidating remaining positions. We also examine the Bank of Latvia's licensing landscape and the region's watchlist.
