Ledger CEO warns that AI and quantum computing will exacerbate the risk of cryptocurrency theft.

Forward Industries disclosed that as of November 9, it held approximately 8.73 million SOL and SOL equivalents, representing approximately 1.5% of the circulating supply of SOL; it increased its holdings by approximately 226,000 SOL during the quarter, with an average cost of $75. The company secured a $50 million two-year credit line from a federally chartered national bank, secured by SOL, at an interest rate of SOFR plus 150 basis points, to advance its SOL++ strategy. In addition, Forward Industries committed up to $50 million to USHP and acquired a minority stake in Index Industries.

Real estate investment infrastructure company Index Industries has raised $50 million in seed funding, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Polychain Capital, Galaxy Ventures, Wintermute Ventures, and others.

Federal Reserve Governor Bowman said that the Fed gradually cut interest rates last year, then paused, and then resumed cutting rates, and will deal with inflation in the same way in the coming months.

The CEO of Ledger stated that AI and quantum computing technologies are enhancing attackers' capabilities and warned of an increasing risk of hacking in the cryptocurrency space. Last year, $9 billion was stolen from cryptocurrencies; this year, the amount stolen has already reached $12 billion. (The Bitcoin Historian)
