VIPGate Research VIP Weekly Report: Crypto Market Under Pressure as Security Incidents Drive On-Chain Capital Rebalancing (October 26–November 1, 2026)

Market expectations for another rate hike in December increased. BTC rallied before retreating and subsequently staged a recovery from its lows last week, ending the week down 2.26%, while ETH recorded a larger decline and greater volatility. PEPE, HYPE, NIGHT, MORPHO, and STX ranked as the top five performers, with 7-day returns of +16.46%, +15.24%, +14.00%, +9.35%, and +7.42%, respectively. On-chain capital flows last week were largely driven by the Binance hot wallet attack, resulting in a clear risk rebalancing rather than a broad-based recovery in risk appetite across multiple chains. Cross-chain capital moved out of high-turnover collateral positions and mainnet asset pools, with Arbitrum leading with approximately $240 million in net inflows. Hyperliquid, meanwhile, recorded around $240 million in net outflows, making it the primary source of capital outflows, although the pace of withdrawals moderated compared with previous periods.
