Ondo, Kakaopay Open Korean Stocks to Global Investors

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Ondo Finance and Kakaopay Securities will be looking at tokenizing Korean stocks. The underlying Korean-listed shares will be sourced and held by Kakaopay. Commercial products will await approval in Korea and abroad. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Ondo Finance is teaming up with Kakaopay Securities to explore bringing Korean-listed stocks to international investors through tokenization. The partnership will leverage Ondo’s global tokenized asset distribution network and Kakaopay Securities’ domestic market infrastructure, with the two firms initially considering constructing systems to source, store and potentially tokenise Korean securities. Ondo and Kakaopay Build Tokenized Korean Stock Framework Under the MOU signed on 28 September, the companies agreed on three key areas, namely international distribution of the Korean market’s equity offerings, a research program on tokenization infrastructure and prospects for the global retail investor. The first step will be on the stocks themselves. Kakaopay Securities plans to operate a foreign investor omnibus account that can be used to source, custody and administer Korean-listed shares. Such holdings may be the support for tokenized equity products sometime in future. Ondo and Kakaopay will also explore possible mechanisms for the issuing and redemption of the tokens, as well as the systems needed to ensure that the number of tokens held matches the number of shares held. Read More: Ondo Unlocks $3.6B Tokenized Market With Direct Stock-to-Token Conversions Token Issuance and Redemption Come Next Technical work will be focused on balance management, reconciliation and execution of transitions of the investors from tokenized assets to securities and back. The companies have yet to reveal any of the Korean stocks they might tokenize first. They’ve also not announced when they’d like to launch in the commercial market. Any rollout will require securities laws, regulatory guidance and investor protection requirements in South Korea and the markets in which the products might be distributed. Korean Equities Could Reach a Wider Crypto Investor Base If Korean stocks go onchain, Ondo will already have one of the largest onchain tokenized equities platforms, providing an existing distribution channel. Kakaopay Securities brings with him the local infrastructure to deal with underlying securities. It’s a blend that might bring more Korean companies in line with foreign investors’ investing portfolio other than the traditional brokerage channel. The deal in particular will target the international retail investor, and a joint task force will review the product structures and distribution plans to do so. Tokenized Stocks Reach $3.2B Market It is a partnership at a time of fast expansion of tokenized equities. By late September 2026, the total distributed value of tokenized stocks was approximately $3.2 billion, with the market being very concentrated, mainly with exchange-traded funds and U.S.-listed stocks. Products already account for a major share of the industry for companies like Nvidia, Tesla, Circle and Strategy. The inclusion of Korean stocks would diversify the geographic spread of tokenization projects, and provide crypto investors worldwide with another major stock exchange market where they could gain exposure. Later this year, Ondo and Kakaopay are planning to create a joint task force to further fine-tune the custody model, sharesourcing process and tokenised infrastructure before taking any decision about commercialisation.

Every new acquisition makes the company stronger on the Bitcoin market. The post $72.3B Bitcoin Giant Strategy Fuels Fresh Buy Rumors with Saylor’s Latest Post appeared first on CryptoNinjas.

OKX Eyes 63 U.S. Stocks in Major Tokenized Trading Expansion

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: OKXICE informed the SEC about its plan to establish an online platform called “Tokenized Securities Venue” that would be used by US investors. More than sixty companies are covered by this document, such as 63 NYSE-listed stocks. Crypto-style 24/7 infrastructure would be brought to regulated equity markets by this project. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News This time OKX is entering the world of tokens by investing in American stocks via an alliance between them and Intercontinental Exchange. It follows that this is soon established by the SEC as an interim system for on-chain trading of tokenized US stock securities. A 63-Stock Launch Plan OKXICE has told the SEC that it intends to launch a Tokenized Securities Venue, or TSV, under the regulator’s new Innovation Exemption. Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor and co-chair of OKXICE, said the notice covers more than 60 companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. The initial group is reported to include 63 NYSE-listed companies. Today we are announcing a major step forward for OKXICE, the joint venture between @okx and Intercontinental Exchange, parent company of @NYSE: OKXICE has notified the SEC that we intend to launch our Tokenized Securities Venue (TSV) under the SEC’s new Innovation Exemption. Our notice includes more than 60 companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. This is a landmark step toward a truly global, 24/7 Wall Street — and toward keeping the future of digital finance anchored here in the United States. The digital asset revolution is already transforming our financial system. Tokenized securities are part of what comes next. And we’re just getting started. https://t.co/VGPPPXafXJ — Andrew Cuomo (@andrewcuomo) October 5, 2026 Blockchain based platforms will be used for trading on tokens of conventional stocks/shares. Instead of developing more off-shore cryptocurrencies like this, OKXICE wants to be regulated by US laws. This is a good way to evaluate whether tokens are suitable as investments within current markets of securities. Read More: OKX Review: Wallet, Fees, Mobile App and More (Updated 2026) Tokenization Goes Beyond Price Tracking Tokenized securities must have their own set of rights and privileges associated with them under a SEC regulation. It also provides shareholders with dividend payments and voting privileges. It also permits qualified exchanges to utilize permitted automated markets and liquidity pools through them. It differentiates between regulated tokenized securities and products which merely provide investors with access to stocks via their tokens on blockchains. OKX Brings Crypto Infrastructure to Wall Street OKXICE is a combination of OKX’s digital asset technologies and ICE’s market infrastructures. ICE is a subsidiary of NYSE. This relationship provides an advantage over other cryptocurrency companies which are independent of launching tokenized stocks. OKX is currently operating on an international scale for equity tokens outside of the U.S.; however, this new platform will focus more specifically upon markets that have strong regulations about security issues as well as investors’ protection laws and shareholders’ rights. Thus this collaboration brings blockchain closer than ever before to conventional US stock markets. Read More: OKX Secures Circle, Ripple and Standard Chartered Backing at $25B Valuation The 24/7 Trading Model The project is being framed by Cuomo as an international, round-the-clock Wall Street. While crypto markets are always open to trade 24/7, stocks have set market days for buying and selling securities during business hours. Blockchain technology can link tokenized securities to traditional markets through a network where they are traded on an exchange but retain their own set of rules as opposed to being separated from them. It’s more than just making stock trading like cryptocurrency. However, instead of this approach, OKXICE aims at creating an orderly marketplace for cryptocurrencies that are backed by real-world investments while retaining their ownership rights. September Order of SEC is a temporary, conditional relief for Tokenized Securities Venue and liquidity providers operating under this framework. Relief allows for testing of on-chain stocks trading whereas regulation takes time before implementing long term regulations.

Plume Opens Onchain Access to Fidelity’s $28B Bond ETF Through New nBND Vault

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Plume has introduced nBND, a tokenized vault with a primary asset of Fidelity Total Bond ETF (FBND). FBND is managing a whopping $28 billion but it hasn’t been tokenized or onchained. Plume is aiming for a wider, connected onchain fixed income market, besides short-term U.S. Treasury products. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Plume’s new vault nBND is taking the tokenized financial world deeper into traditional fixed income, pairing blockchain investors back to exposure under the primary backing of Fidelity’s Total Bond ETF. The launch expands the real-world asset market beyond tokenized Treasury bills and money-market products, bringing an actively managed bond portfolio into an onchain structure. Plume Brings Fidelity Bond Exposure Onchain At the heart of nBND is a long-standing exchange-traded fund (ETF) called Fidelity Total Bond ETF (FBND), which has assets worth about $28 billion. Instead of tokenizing the ETF, Plume’s design is to simply have its structure as the primary reserve asset backed by an onchain vault, which is held by the FBND. With the representation of the vault being done through a tokenized network, the actual ETF certificates exist in the traditional financial world. That distinction matters. Fidelity hasn’t tokenized $28 billion of bonds, nor is nBND the same as FBND tokenizing its entire portfolio. Rather it establishes a connection between an existing bond portfolio and financial applications that run on blockchain. Read More: Tokenized iShares MSCI South Korea ETF Arrives on StonkFun for Solana Coin Launches Active Bond Management Enters the RWA Market Unlike currently available Treasury-themed products which are heavily concentrated on fixed-income, FBND offers exposure to a broader range of fixed income. The fund contains government, corporate and mortgage-backed bonds and other fixed-income securities, which provide nBND with a more diversified bond strategy. Institutional investors are not interested in short-duration Treasuries and crave duration and on-chain active management, according to Plume CEO and co-founder Chris Yin. That transition might expand the range of on-chain assets in the real world throughout decentralized finance. Tokenized Treasuries Have Already Reached $15 Billion As tokenized U.S. Treasury assets grow, so does Plume. Based on the data from the company, the segment increased from approximately $12 billion to $15 billion in two months, from April to June. But while the fixed-income market is small by global standards, it’d be shy of $100 trillion more than that. The reluctance to use tokens on the platforms is a significant opportunity for platforms that are seeking a tokenization solution. If this trend is continued with the introduction of Treasury backed tokens, then corporate credit, diversified bond portfolios and actively managed strategies might infiltrate the blockchain market. Read More: Grayscale’s Zcash ETF Debuts on NYSE Arca, Opening Direct ZEC Exposure to Investors nBND Targets Programmable Fixed-Income Assets Plume is marketing nBND as more of a yield product. Potential interactions with onchain applications with tokenized vault positions, the possibility to make financial exposure programmable with possibly meaningful collateral onchain markets. Like a major driver in the adoption of blockchain, programmability, portfolio construction and collateral utility are also themes where Fidelity’s investment product leadership will ignite the potential of traditional investment products on blockchain. The key test now is adoption. While nBND is connecting a big traditional bond fund to the blockchain infrastructure, the volume of cap that enters the vault will dictate the product’s onchain success.

Representative French Hill hopes lawmakers could pass a cryptocurrency market structure bill before the next session of Congress in 2027 as SEC and CFTC actions weren’t sufficient.Representative French Hill, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, said that though US financial regulators were moving forward with addressing digital assets, their actions lacked the long-term stability of legislation from Congress.& In a Wednesday Fox Business interview, the Arkansas lawmaker said the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) had taken steps to address crypto regulations after the US Senate failed to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act last month. Both financial agencies have proposed rulemaking to handle different aspects of overseeing and enforcing crypto regulations, but Hill said their response following the failed CLARITY vote “[fell] short” of legislative solutions.“I still have hope [...] that we can get [CLARITY] passed in the lame duck session of Congress,” said Hill. “We need that permanent law change to make sure America is number one in digital assets and blockchain technology.”Read more

ZachXBT Says Chinese Crime Ring Laundered $1B+ for Lazarus After $1.5B Bybit Hack

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: According to ZachXBT, he had successfully penetrated a Chinese laundering structure that facilitated billions of dollars for North Korea-backed Lazarus. He gambled $349,700 of USDC to advance the scheme and took 5% losses in transactions with the supposed “Jimmy Green” operator. The investigation assisted in the tracing of over $12 million of funds linked to Bybit, including $442,000 in USDT which was ultimately frozen. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Blockchain investigator ZachXBT says he spent months posing as a customer inside a Chinese organized crime network that allegedly laundered more than $1 billion tied to Lazarus Group-linked crypto hacks. 1/ How I infiltrated a Chinese organized crime syndicate that has laundered $1B+ across multiple exploits for Lazarus Group. Posing as a client, I gathered intel that helped action freezes for the Feb 2025 Bybit exploit and attribute illicit activity onchain. https://t.co/jauRRt8875 — ZachXBT (@zachxbt) October 5, 2026 The operation started soon after an exploit on Bybit in February 2025, noticing many people in public Telegram and Discord groups asking for assistance with transactions linked to the stolen funds. Read More: ZachXBT Turns Unwanted Meme Coin Into $30K Venezuela Quake Relief Donation ZachXBT Put $349,700 at Risk to Enter the Network ZachXBT reported that he reached out to various accounts about transactions associated with the Bybit hack and later started communicating with a Telegram user who used the nickname “Jimmy Green.” ZachXBT funded a new address and started to transact with the operator on March 6, 2025 using 349,700 tokens of USDC. He stated that the trades include swapping USD with ETH and USDT with Tron. The investigator intentionally made several trades with a near 5% loss on each trade to establish credibility. That approach enabled him to learn about the network’s alleged “laundering” activity in Hong Kong and mainland China. ZachXBT reported that Jimmy later spoke about intended transfers of assets linked to the Bybit exploit, leading to some transactions on-chain. $12M Cluster Traced Across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Tron The major development happened when an alleged cross-chain transfer screenshot was shared around by Jimmy. ZachXBT stated that he matched in terms of quantum and time to a THORChain transaction that was created within minutes of the message. The operator also gave out a number of Solana addresses. From those addresses, a vast concentration of over $12 million was detected in Bybit’s funds that were transferred among Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. Later, ZachXBT reported that the funds, worth $442,000 (in USDT), were frozen by Tether after the cluster. He added that he noticed a newer laundering approach among Uniswap liquidity pools and illiquid tokens as well. Read More: Echo Protocol Hack Sparks $76M Panic After Hacker Mints Fake eBTC and Drains ETH Bybit Funds Were Not the Only Crypto Trail There were reports that the investigation revealed other illicit crypto traffic connections. ZachXBT reported that Jimmy had previously spoken about the amount of USD 300,000 which was previously frozen. According to onchain analysis, the money was linked to 332,000 USDC still reportedly stolen out of the Poloniex exploit. A second conference included approximately $3 million in fraud funds identified as a Huione Guarantee hot wallet. The investigator stated that his results were shared with “trusted private investigators and law enforcement members. He says his work has helped lock away over $75 million in freezes since 2022. Building on the discovery of the stolen crypto, which was claimed in a recent operation, he says how it can traverse intermediaries long after the original exploit happened.

COINS NEWS

US institutions will gain access to Deribit’s options and perpetual futures through Coinbase, with US retail options expected later this year.Coinbase has completed its integration of derivatives exchange Deribit, opening a regulated route for eligible US customers to global crypto derivatives markets that have historically operated beyond their reach.The exchange announced Wednesday that the integration combines its international derivatives business with Deribit while allowing eligible US customers to access that liquidity through Coinbase Financial Markets, its derivatives unit regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Tether Celebrates 12 Years, USD₮ Surpasses 700M Users

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Tether marked the 12th anniversary of the world’s largest stablecoin by market cap, USD₮. The company claims that USD₮ has expanded from a trader-led electronic dollar to a network with over 700 million people. This milestone underscores the growing potential of stablecoins for crypto trade, payments, remittance and other emerging markets. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Tether is celebrating a significant milestone in the history of crypto. For any company a successful rolling out of USDT to become one of the most popular cryptocurrencies globally is a triumph. In a recent post on X, Tether described USD₮ as a “digital dollar” that started with traders and is now used by more than 700 million people globally. 12 years ago today, USD₮ was born. ???? A digital dollar. Built for traders, now used by 700+ million people. Twelve years. Unstoppable. Happy birthday, Tether. https://t.co/t7GuBiLcir — Tether (@tether) October 6, 2026 Tether Celebrates a 12-Year Milestone USD₮ debuted in 2014 and was one of the first stablecoins introduced that was pegged to the U.S. dollar. The token filled a vacuum of reliable on-chain dollar liquidity on the crypto markets of that period and enabled traders to swiftly transfer their capital without exiting the digital asset community. It seems USD₮ has come a long way since its inception. It is now a standard, widely employed cross blockchain settlement protocol in the modern centralized exchanges, decentralized finance markets, payment systems and international settlement systems. Tether noted this growth in its 12th year anniversary message, which it dubs “unstoppable” after being an integral part of the global crypto economy for 12 years. Read More: Tether to Launch $86B USDT on Bitcoin Via RGB Protocol, Unlocking Private Native Stablecoin Payments How USD₮ Became Crypto’s Dominant Stablecoin Tether’s surge reflects the overall crypto boom. With a rising tide of trade in digital assets, demand for a blockchain dollar rose as well. USD₮ emerged as a vital source of liquidity for several blockchain ecosystems, like Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Avalanche, and several others. Because of its accessibility, it became a popular options trading pair for Bitcoin, Ethereum and thousands of other cryptocurrencies. Beyond Trading Activity USD₮ began as a trading platform but has evolved greatly for its uses. However, in certain areas of the world where access to U.S. dollars is restricted, users have turned to stablecoins as a way to save, pay and transact internationally. USD₮ is being increasingly adopted by businesses and individuals as a tool to transact value with no need for the traditional banking system across the borders. This transition has propelled stablecoins into one of the most rapidly expanding digital assets market segments. Data from the industry reveals the annual dollar valuation on trillions with USDs continuing to be the biggest stablecoin in the market. Read More: Tether Powers Georgia’s Official GEL₮ National Crypto Launch Stablecoins Continue to Gain Momentum The anniversary arrives at a time when the institutions and regulators are paying a higher degree of attention to stablecoins. As the demand for digital settlement intensifies, governments, financial institutions, and payment providers are looking into using blockchain dollars. Meanwhile, big dollar-to-crypto institutions are launching stablecoin-focused services and products, such as payments, trading and treasury. The 12-year milestone is significant for Tether, representing the progress of the stablecoin industry since its inception. What was once a purely digital rendition of the U.S. dollar is now an integral part of crypto market infrastructure, ensuring the liquidity of exchanges and transactions for hundreds of millions of people globally.

Abstract to Shut Down Dec. 15 After Consumer Crypto Model Fails to Scale

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Abstract will close on 15th December, 2026, and users will have to move assets off the network before the time. The fact that it was a consumer-based model with thin liquidity, a small DeFi ecosystem and poor institutionalization movement drove its demise, the chain says. Abstract still garnered a total of 144+ apps were created, over 400,000 users and brands like Disney and Red Bull Racing. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News After about two and a half years, Abstract has ended what has been, in our view, one of the most flashy efforts to create a blockchain for consumer applications. The network indicates its ecosystem expanded, but insufficiently but significantly to attach costs and liquidity for functionality as a standalone chain. Abstract Sets Dec. 15 Deadline for Users Abstract said users must move their assets off the network before Dec. 15, 2026. Funds left on the chain after that date will become inaccessible. https://t.co/0F6yDmUPe5 — Abstract (@AbstractChain) October 6, 2026 Users can migrate using Abstracts’ Migration Hub or the native bridge. Transfers are expected to be in between three and four hours, the project said. It will also have its engineering and ecosystem teams helping projects migrating to other networks where they are based on Abstract. Scam Risk Rises During Migration As part of its warning, Abstract alerted users to scams involving fake “migration sites,” login accounts and unsolicited direct messages. The team advised holders to only use official migration links and check information on Abstract’s official community channels. Phishing attacks can be a risk during shutdown periods when there is a deadline to get assets moved over.

Big brands like Red Bull Racing and Disney were also a part of this chain, as it sought to make blockchain products more accessible for the mainstream community. Its Portal served as a discovery and distribution platform for onchain apps and Abstract Global Wallet aimed at a seamless onboarding and participation process. However, growth reached a plateau later on, the project said. Abstract highlighted thin liquidity, narrow DeFi ecosystem, weak institutional adoption and inadequate wallet fees compared to other networks as key challenges. The team told a news site that they tested a few variations to fine-tune product-market fit and scale the network up for the past year before deciding to shutter it. Consumer Crypto Strategy Reaches Its Limit One of the ideas behind Abstract was that the apps with human consumers could introduce a larger market to the blockchain without the complexities typical of crypto. That worked well for it when it came to drawing readers and brands, but that wasn’t enough to sustain their economic model, the network says. This is an illustration of the difficulties smaller-size chains are facing if they can’t generate deep liquidity, robust DeFi or institutional demand. The choice is part of a series of other blockchain ventures that are also questioning if it is still economically viable to run a separate layer-1 and layer-2 network since the market is becoming increasingly saturated.

Coinbase Pro Returns With Deribit, Unlocking $30B Bitcoin Options Liquidity

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Coinbase Pro returns with Spot, Futures, Perpetuals, Options, and Equities by the end of the year. Deribit is upgraded and has now added over $30B in Bitcoin options open interest. Coinbase is launching a single regulated liquidity pool for U.S. and global crypto derivatives. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Coinbase has been building up its advanced trading business around Deribit, and plans for a broader global trading platform that will return in Coinbase Pro later this year. The company is giving just one account access to derivatives, spot margin, unified portfolios, as well as professional execution tools. Coinbase Pro Returns With a Much Bigger Product Set The professional trading interface, Coinbase Pro, will reappear at the end of 2026 as part of Coinbase’s “Everything Exchange” approach. The re-built platform to accommodate active traders and institutions by providing access to spot, futures, perpetual contracts, options and equities markets from a single platform. According to Coinbase, the new version will feature a higher level of integration of order routing systems, better order execution methods and new tools for advanced volume strategies. Read More: Coinbase Tracks $1.1M Crypto Trail as Microsoft Takes Down 175 EvilTokens Domains Spot Margin Adds Up to 10x Leverage A spot margin is also coming which will be added for customers who are eligible to use it. Traders will be able to leverage up to 10x on select major assets and up to 5x on other supported assets, and deposit collateral from over 15 different eligible assets. The margin system will be integrated with the derivatives business and give its users the leverage they want, but in one single portfolio. Deribit Becomes Core to Coinbase’s Global Derivatives Push The key shift is the integration of Deribit, one of the planet’s largest and most popular platforms for crypto options, which is complete. Deribit adds access to over $30 billion in Bitcoin options open interest as of 30 September and has recorded over $1 trillion in trading volume last year, according to Coinbase. The company will link all U.S.-based and international crypto derivatives into a single regulated liquidity pool. That could enable institutions to trade in greater markets without needing separate offshore exchanges or multiple counterparties and disparate bundles of collateral. Along with spot trading, Coinbase Prime will support eligible institutional traders in accessing options and perpetual futuresarket trading powered by Deribit, along with other services such as custody, financing, and staking. Read More: Coinbase Unveils AiFi After $100M in x402 Transactions, Targeting AI Agent Payments Options and Unified Portfolios Roll Out Next Over the next few weeks, Coinbase is set to launch Crypto options, spot margin, and combined portfolios. Qualifying traders outside of the U.S. should expect first access to options, followed by access for U.S. retail traders later this year. The unified portfolio model aims to allow the trader to use it in offsetting risk among their positions, eliminating risk-locked in margin collaterals. The multi-leg strategy execution, payoff diagrams, Greeks, funding costs, order depth, and liquidity data will also be embedded in the trading interface in Coinbase Advanced. The outcome, one might say reboot, of the latter is what looks like not so much a return of the previous product but a complete rebuild of the entire global derivatives infrastructure on the platform.

OKX Secures Circle, Ripple and Standard Chartered Backing at $25B Valuation

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: OKX raised funding with Circle, Ripple, QRT, and SC Ventures with a valuation of $25B. The deal is a continuation of a previous investment made by NYSE parent ICE. The collaboration fortifies OKX’s stablecoin, liquidity, and custody capabilities. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News OKX, a crypto exchange platform, garnered four big financial and digital asset firms, bolstering its institutional crypto infrastructure efforts. Announced on October 6, the investment builds on OKX’s existing partnerships and supports its plans to expand beyond cryptocurrency trading into tokenized assets and financial services. OKX Attracts Four Investors at $25 Billion Valuation OKX is also an investment of the Big Four that are done by Circle, Ripple, QRT and SC ventures at the pre-money valuation of $25 billion. The investment comes on the back of an investment in the company in March 2026 by ICE which was part of the deal. OKX did not reveal the amounts of the investments made nor the slices of ownership awarded to each investor. The four firms have commercial ties with the exchange, unlike a traditional investment deal whereby strangers are opening an investment avenue. There are USDC infrastructure providers, institutional liquidity providers, stablecoin provider and payment capabilities from Ripple, and custody service providers from Standard Chartered. According to OKX founder and CEO Star Xu, the firm will create a comprehensive financial platform that integrates digital assets along with services typical of traditional financial institutions. Ripple’s RLUSD Strengthens OKX Stablecoin Infrastructure Ripple’s inclusion helps to shore up another financial partnership between the two stablecoins. It has already launched a dollar-backed stablecoin called RLUSD on its centralized order book, which has made its platform capable of supporting trading on the RSG dollar. Ripple managers said the deal may result in more collaboration in payments, stablecoins, and financial services for institutions, among other things. The Circle involvement comes after the integration of USDC on the networks of OKX’s trading infrastructure. The partnerships significantly enhance the relationship that the exchange has with two key stablecoin issuers. Read More: Evernorth Wins Vote for $1B+ XRP Treasury Deal With 473M XRP Nasdaq Debut Nearing Standard Chartered Supports Tokenized Treasury Collateral The partnership is joined by Standard Chartered, which joins with its institutional custody capabilities. The bank has already acted as a custodian for BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund in one collateral framework that was created by OKX. The deal lets eligible institutional clients provide tokenized Treasury assets for the purpose of making trades, while never actually exchanging the asset itself over the exchange. The architecture intended to bring tokens to crypto trading and reconcile the security and custody of real-world assets and the trading of that currency. OKX Targets Institutional Trading and Real-World Assets The investment also equips QRT with liquidity and risk capacity in the OKX markets, while it receives support from a large institutional trading counterparty. The exchange is also taking another step from its initial cryptocurrency business. The new capital will fuel the growth and tokenisation of real-world assets, possibly linking traditional investment vehicles with blockchain trading platforms, said Xu. There were not specific investment amounts, tokenized volumes or timeframe provided for the launch of any other products. Currently, the agreement consolidates the stablecoin issuers, institutional trading know-how and bank-level custody on OKX’s burgeoning digital asset platform.

Russia’s Digital Ruble Hits 220,000 Accounts in One Month, Nearly 4X Official Forecast

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: In its first month, the Russian digital ruble saw more than 220,000 accounts, just under 24 times the central bank’s predicted figure. The CBDC launch coincides with BRICS countries discussing the possibility of linking national digital currencies for cross-border payments. While the initial signups seem promising, some commercial banks and consumers doubt the digital ruble’s utility. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News In the first month since launch, Russia’s digital ruble has exited the experimental phase and opened more accounts than expected. The milestone comes as Moscow accelerates its central bank digital currency (CBDC) strategy and explores potential payment links with other BRICS economies. Read More: Russia Caps Crypto Buying at 300,000 Rubles for Retail Investors Under New Rules Digital Ruble Accounts Surge Past 220,000 in September In September, over 220,000 digital ruble accounts were opened, after the official launch of the currency on September 1. Initially the Russian central bank expected some 60,000 accounts for its first month. On October 6, Deputy Governor Zulfiya Kakhrumanova confirmed the figures in which the demand was much higher than expected. The actual figure is about 3.7 times higher than the initial estimate, which indicates that there was a great amount of initial consumer demand for the new payment option. Yet it is not a measure of the frequency of transactions that Russians are making using the dollar when registering accounts. Banks Prepare for Corporate CBDC Adoption Business involvement may also be an unmissable key to adoption. Russia’s No. 2 bank, VTB, had earlier said that over 1,500 corporate clients were ready to open digital ruble accounts. The digital ruble is not issued by any other organization or individual; it is issued by Russia’s central bank and stands for a claim for the central bank. It doesn’t need to be a privately issued crypto asset but is simply another form of the national currency. BRICS Explores Cross-Border Digital Currency Payments Russia’s launch of CBDC is also tied to the BRICS debate on CBDC payments infrastructure. There are ongoing developments in other countries working on their own digital currencies which may present future potential for interoperability. The officials have considered integration of national CBDC systems to ease cross-border transactions and lessen reliance on the existing payment intermediaries. The program holds special value for Russia, after Western sanctions hindered financial operations with major trading partners. A CBDC payments system is not yet fully operational across the BRICS countries, but a cross-border settlement via a BRICS CBDC network is a potential scenario. Full implementation would involve agreement on technical compatibility and on regulatory coordination and settlement arrangements by the countries concerned. Consumer Resistance Challenges Russia’s CBDC Expansion However, the Digital ruble remains opposed with poor starts. German Gref, Sberbank’s chief executive, has doubted its relevance, saying commercial banks supply advanced digital payment services today. Consumers’ sentiment is also divided. Recently, Vladimir Putin urged financial authorities to improve the clarity of distinguishing between normal electronic payments and the digital ruble. At the same time, Russia’s finance ministry and central bank are starting to explore the possibility of voluntary salary payments with the CBDC. Reuters reports that most Russians are still against getting paid in comparison to crypto coins.

As new overlaps in the traditional and digital markets emerge, demand for institutional-grade infrastructure that can accommodate both has risen, Group COO Alan McGroarty said. Read More: Ripple Eyes Türkiye’s $200B Crypto Market as RLUSD and Bank Custody Gain Ground Prime Brokerage Becomes a Bigger Part of Ripple’s Institutional Strategy Ripple Prime offers more than just crypto-related products and amenities. It offers a variety of digital assets, foreign exchange assets, derivatives and fixed income and other products, allowing large investors to have one relationship with the exchange for multiple markets rather than multiple infrastructure for each market. The platform also expanded into U.S. equity derivatives in 2026, including total return swaps tied to U.S.-listed stocks, indexes and digital assets. That wider range of products is in part why Ripple has aimed at a broader range of firms to include hedge funds and large asset managers and not just crypto-native trading houses. Brevan Howard’s Ripple Relationship Started With a $500M Investment Round The new brokerage deal comes on the back of an ongoing business partnership between the two entities. In 2025, the Brevan Howard affiliates were among the top-10 institutional investors to join Ripple for its $500 M strategic round. That relationship has recently been extended beyond investment to the use of Ripple’s infrastructure in the latest deal. Ripple now has over 85 licenses and provides institutional payments, custody, prime brokerage and treasury management services. XRP and RLUSD Are Not the Main Story Brevan Howard isn’t necessarily buying the XRP or the Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD as part of the deal, the announcement doesn’t specify. It is more about the institutionalized brokerage infrastructure as opposed to direct allocation of crypto-tokens. Aside from that, it matters to a great extent. The agreement solidifies Ripple’s role as a financial services provider bridging traditional and digital markets, and Brevan Howard’s as a provider of a unified platform for managing trading, clearing and financing in both markets.

Bitcoin slips below $84,000 ahead of FOMC minutes

COINS NEWS

Key takeaways Bitcoin briefly fell below $84,000 during Wednesday’s Asian session. Rising oil prices added inflation concerns ahead of the FOMC minutes, keeping interest-rate expectations in focus. BTC’s immediate support lies around 80,000&-82,000, while a sustained break above $87,000 could put $100,000 in focus. Bitcoin weakened Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes and assessed renewed inflation risks from rising oil prices. Bitcoin slipped below $84,000 during Asian trading despite a return to inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.& The moves highlight uncertainty over monetary policy. Although expectations for an October rate increase have eased, the analysis indicates that investors continue to anticipate a significant possibility of further tightening by December. ETF inflows return, but Bitcoin struggles to advance U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $118.8 million in net inflows on October 6, following $89.8 million in outflows on October 5, according to Farside figures cited in the report. The reversal offered a supportive demand signal, but it did not prevent Bitcoin from falling below $84,000 the following morning. The uneven flows suggest that investment demand has yet to provide consistent backing for a sustained advance. Continued inflows would strengthen the recovery case, particularly if accompanied by firmer spot buying. The FOMC minutes could influence expectations for the Fed’s next policy steps. A stronger preference for additional rate increases could pressure both assets. Higher interest rates raise the appeal of interest-bearing investments and increase the opportunity cost of holding gold or Bitcoin. A more patient policy tone could provide support, but rising energy prices complicate that outlook. Oil advanced Wednesday as a storm approaching the Gulf of Mexico and attacks in the Middle East raised concerns about supply disruptions. If higher energy costs sustain inflation, expectations for further monetary tightening could strengthen. Bitcoin price outlook: $80,000 support remains crucial Bitcoin’s daily chart shows consolidation within an ascending broadening wedge, with immediate support around $80,000&-$82,000. Holding that zone would preserve the constructive near-term scenario outlined in the analysis. A sustained move above $87,000 could then put the $100,000 level in focus. A break below $80,000 would weaken that setup and expose the 70,000&-75,000 range. Further losses below $70,000 could bring support around $65,000 into view. On the weekly chart, analysts identify a longer-term support zone between $50,000 and $60,000 and a potential cup formation within an ascending channel. A future breakout above $100,000 could support an extension toward $150,000 under that bullish scenario. Those levels remain conditional technical projections rather than assured outcomes. Bitcoin’s renewed ETF inflows provide encouragement, but stronger and more persistent demand would be needed to absorb selling and sustain a breakout. The immediate technical focus remains on defending $80,000&-$82,000 and overcoming $87,000 resistance.& Meanwhile, the FOMC minutes and energy-driven inflation concerns could influence both Bitcoin and gold through changes in rate expectations. Failure to hold Bitcoin’s nearby support would instead increase the risk of a deeper correction. The post Bitcoin slips below $84,000 ahead of FOMC minutes appeared first on CoinJournal.

Dogecoin dips 5% this week as bearish positioning puts $0.088 support in focus

COINS NEWS

Key takeaways CoinGlass’ long-to-short ratio fell to 0.68, its lowest reading in more than a month. CryptoQuant data flagged overheated spot and futures conditions, with sell-side dominance among large futures orders. Immediate support lies at $0.088, followed by $0.086 and $0.085; reclaiming $0.093 would ease bearish pressure. Dogecoin extended its losses Wednesday, trading near $0.090 as increasingly bearish derivatives positioning and fading technical momentum weighed on the meme coin. DOGE has declined more than 5% so far this week. Although the price remains above its 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages, its failure to recover the 200-day EMA leaves the near-term outlook vulnerable. Market data and price prediction also point to a growing preference for short positions, while large futures orders show stronger selling activity. Dogecoin long-to-short ratio drops to a monthly low CoinGlass’ Dogecoin long-to-short ratio stood at 0.85 on Wednesday, its lowest level in more than a month. A reading below one indicates that short positioning outweighs long positioning within the tracked dataset. The decline therefore suggests traders have become more bearish as DOGE’s weekly losses deepen. However, the ratio measures positioning rather than guaranteeing the direction of the next price move. A crowded bearish trade can also become vulnerable to a reversal if buying demand returns. For now, the reading reinforces the cautious tone surrounding Dogecoin. CryptoQuant’s summary data identified overheating conditions across Dogecoin’s spot and futures markets. The platform also highlighted large orders in the futures market, with sell-side activity dominating. Taken together, those signals suggest elevated trading activity is occurring alongside pressure from sellers. Overheating alone does not establish that prices must decline. In this case, however, the sell-side imbalance and weaker long-to-short ratio support a bearish interpretation of the market snapshot. DOGE struggles below its 200-Day moving average Dogecoin remained below its 200-day EMA near $0.093, making that level an immediate obstacle to recovery. The price continued to hold above the 50-day EMA at $0.088 and the 100-day EMA at $0.086. These levels indicate that some underlying support remains despite the recent pullback. Momentum indicators were less supportive. The Relative Strength Index hovered near 48, slightly below its neutral midpoint of 50, while the MACD line was marginally negative. Together, those readings suggest buyers have lost momentum without the market yet reaching deeply oversold conditions. Immediate support sits around $0.088, where the 50-day EMA aligns with a horizontal price level. If that support fails, the next reference points are the 100-day EMA at $0.086 and the former trendline breakout area near $0.085. A daily close below this zone would weaken the technical structure and bring the deeper horizontal support at $0.070 into focus. For a recovery, DOGE first needs to reclaim the 200-day EMA at $0.093. A sustained move above it would ease immediate bearish pressure and shift attention toward resistance around $0.102. Until then, Dogecoin faces a test of nearby support as bearish positioning and subdued momentum limit its recovery prospects.

DOJ invokes Bitcoin Fog ruling in potential blow to Roman Storm acquittal bid

COINS NEWS

Prosecutors say a recent Bitcoin Fog appeals court ruling supports their argument that Tornado Cash activity in Manhattan was enough to establish venue for parts of Roman Storm’s case in New York.Federal prosecutors cited a recent appeals court ruling involving cryptocurrency mixer Bitcoin Fog as supplemental authority for their opposition to Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm’s acquittal.In a Monday filing, prosecutors cited a Sept. 25 appeals court ruling that affirmed the convictions and sentence of Bitcoin Fog operator Roman Sterlingov.

Kalshi’s 15-min gold markets overtake Ether just weeks after launch

COINS NEWS

Gold recorded 542 million contracts and an estimated $5 million in fees in September, surpassing Ether’s 318 million contracts and $2.6 million, though Bitcoin remained far ahead. Kalshi’s 15-minute gold markets generated nearly twice the estimated trading fees of equivalent Ether markets in September, just weeks after their August launch.& The gold contracts, which let traders take positions on whether gold will rise or fall over 15-minute intervals, generated about $5 million in estimated fees during the month, compared with $2.6 million for Ether contracts, according to Predict Charts. Bitcoin remained the dominant market, generating $60.4 million in estimated fees.The growth in short-duration gold markets comes as Kalshi’s broader commodities business has been expanding.

Pudgy Penguins-backed Abstract to shut down after ‘tens of millions’ in losses

Early adoption of Russia’s central bank digital currency, the digital ruble, has vastly exceeded forecasts, with more than 220,000 accounts opened in its first month, offering an early test of whether CBDCs can move beyond pilot programs and gain real-world adoption.As Reuters reported Tuesday, Russian central bank Deputy Governor Zulfiya Kakhrumanova said the figure far exceeded the roughly 60,000 accounts officials had expected following the CBDC’s Sept. 1 launch.The rollout comes as BRICS, the bloc of major emerging economies that includes Russia, China and India, explores ways to link members’ CBDCs for cross-border payments. As Reuters reported, Russia accelerated development of the digital ruble after Western sanctions imposed over the war in Ukraine cut the country off from parts of the global financial system and complicated payments with major trading partners, including China and India.Read more

Bill aims at stopping US lawmaker bets on their own elections ahead of midterms

COINS NEWS

The No Betting on Your Own Race Act will not be addressed before the 2026 US midterms as Congress is on recess until after the election.A North Carolina lawmaker has introduced legislation aimed at blocking politicians from using prediction market platforms to potentially profit on their own elections.On Monday, Representative Don Davis introduced the No Betting on Your Own Race Act, prohibiting federal candidates, their campaigns, their spouses and children from “buying, selling, acquiring, disposing of, or holding contracts” related to their elections. Davis said that the legislation was designed to prevent market interference, insider trading and lawmakers from “cashing in” on elections, with a proposed $10,000 civil penalty for each violation or three times any potential financial windfall.Although the text of the bill did not explicitly mention prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, it referred to “political event contracts,” signaling that the legislation targeted activities through such companies. Republican House of Representatives candidate Laurie Buckhout received a three-year suspension and a $2,590 penalty from Kalshi in August over trading event contracts related to her race, but did not face civil or criminal charges.Read more

Affluent investors seen boosting crypto exposure: Survey

Polymarket Takes €420K Dutch Gambling Fight to Court Over Crypto Prediction Markets

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Polymarket challenges a court ruling that its prediction markets are illegal gambling in the Netherlands. Dutch regulator Ksa threatened to charge up to €840,000 in weekly penalties, up to a maximum of €420,000. Polymarket says its USDC-settled contracts are more akin to financial derivatives and warrants to be under the financial-market umbrella. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Polymarket is heading to court to dispute the Dutch authorities’ orders and challenge their application of the ban to crypto prediction markets. The dispute could shape how event-based crypto contracts are regulated in one of Europe’s stricter gambling markets. Polymarket Challenges Dutch Gambling Classification Polymarket has filed a lawsuit against the ban on its services in The Hague in the Netherlands. The fundamental issue in this case is whether contracts related to actual outcomes are gambles or more like financial transactions. Polymarket is a game of chance without a licence, according to the Dutch Gambling Authority (Ksa). The platform, however, says that buyers and sellers deal in contracts with values dependent on expectations of future events. Contracts are won and settled in the USDC stablecoin, pegged to the dollar and widely utilized throughout the crypto markets. That structure looks more like derivatives trading than traditional betting, says Polymarket, and thus ought to be regulated by the AFM, not the Ksa. Read More: Polymarket Perps Beta Goes Live for 24/7 Trading €420,000 Penalty Raises the Stakes In January, the regulator banned Polymarket from catering to Dutch users and in February, the ban was revealed. Ksa would impose a fine of up to €840,000 per week because the platform was operating without permission. Dutch users were later banned by Polymarket, who was found to have acted too late by the regulator. It then secured a €420,000 fine and Polymarket’s appeal of the fine was dismissed. The platform gained significant prominence in the Netherlands when investors dumped millions of dollars into the betting on the general elections scheduled in the country next October. Crypto Prediction Markets Face a Regulatory Divide This is just one aspect of the broader issue of classification in blockchain-based prediction markets, as Polymarket’s legal approach emphasizes. The platform permits customers to trade off positions with one another, unlike a gambling establishment. The price changes with the market and traders can sell their holdings before the market closes. Polymarket maintains that those attributes allow more control for participants than a standard gambling product, which is why it deems its contracts to be more like event derivatives. But the Dutch authorities are not as convinced. Peer-to-peer participation does not deceive Ksa into believing that a product is not gambling in nature. Under Dutch law, bets are also restricted to a number of specified events; the category of sports betting is much more defined. For the same reason, even if gambling is approved, it may not be a potent way for the platform to return to the country. Since 2019, the AFM has been limiting trading of binary options to retail investors, causing another hurdle for some event options, found here, to become financial instruments.

OKX Turns Infrastructure Partners into Investors at $25 Billion Valuation

COINS NEWS

OKX has raised new funding at a $25 billion pre-money valuation from Circle, Qube Research & Technologies, Ripple and Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures. The round brings companies already connected to its stablecoin, liquidity and collateral infrastructure onto its shareholder register.The financing extends the March round led by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent of the New York Stock Exchange. Bloomberg reported that ICE invested approximately $200 million at the same valuation. Haider Rafique, the company’s Global Managing Partner, said the funding would support its long-term market infrastructure.OKX founder and CEO Star Xu framed the round as a strategic alignment rather than a capital raise driven by funding needs:Existing Partners Join the Shareholder Register OKX linked each investor, either directly or through its wider corporate group, to an existing part of the exchange’s operations. Circle issues USDC, which is integrated across the platform. Ripple’s competing RLUSD stablecoin is also available through OKX’s unified order book. Circle and Ripple now hold stakes in a platform that supports both USDC and RLUSD. Their participation allows OKX to deepen its relationships with both companies while retaining a multi-stablecoin model.QRT plays a different role. OKX described the quantitative investment manager as a major institutional counterparty that provides liquidity and risk capacity and works with the exchange on new products and markets. Its investment adds an ownership relationship to an existing trading connection. SC Ventures is Standard Chartered’s investment arm. The wider banking group already supports an OKX collateral arrangement by acting as custodian for BUIDL, BlackRock’s tokenised Treasury fund. Eligible institutional clients can use the fund as off-exchange collateral rather than relying solely on assets held directly at OKX.ICE Investment Leads to Tokenised Stock Project ICE’s earlier investment has also developed into an operating partnership. The companies subsequently formed OKXICE, which is seeking US regulatory approval for a tokenised securities venue covering shares in 63 publicly traded companies. The proposed instruments would be offered under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s five-year innovation exemption and are intended to retain rights equivalent to conventional shares. The platform has not received final approval or begun trading. The latest financing extends the same model across more of OKX’s infrastructure. Stablecoin providers, an institutional liquidity counterparty and a banking group supporting collateral custody now have a financial interest in the platform through which their services are distributed. Whether those investments will produce additional product integrations has not been disclosed. This article was written by Tanya Chepkova at www.financemagnates.com.

ECB policymaker warns of fragmentation without digital euro

COINS NEWS

A ECB executive board member said the potential introduction of a digital euro would not ”take over the role of banks,” but ensure they have a role in the EU’s monetary system. A member of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) executive board has warned that other entities could provide alternatives without the central bank’s introduction of a digital euro, potentially weakening Europe’s “resilience and monetary sovereignty.”ECB executive board member Piero Cipollone said on a Tuesday MNI Connect Webcast that without a “pan-European digital payment solution that caters to every type of day-to-day transaction,” the potential for fragmentation could increase across tokenization platforms. He said that the central bank’s goal should be to create a digital euro exchangeable across banks for day-to-day transactions.“Our objective is not to take over the role of banks,” said Cipollone. “On the contrary, the digital euro would equip banks with the infrastructure they need to compete in the digital age and help them expand the reach and use cases of their own solutions.”Read more

Ripple Eyes Türkiye’s $200B Crypto Market as RLUSD and Bank Custody Gain Ground

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Retail trading is estimated to have reached approximately $40 billion in early 2026 and crypto transaction volume has exceeded $200 billion in a year in Türkiye. Ripple continues to build on its local footprint by developing its infrastructure and dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD. Garanti BBVA Kripto has partnerships with Ripple Custody, platforms like BiLira and Bitlo have partnerships with RLUSD. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Türkiye is becoming one of the most dynamic digital asset markets in the world, while ongoing risks to the lira are helping it venture further away from retail speculation into the crypto market. Ripple is zeroing in on that transition as banks, exchanges and businesses are looking for regulated infrastructure to keep digital assets and the dollar safe. Türkiye’s Crypto Market Approaches $200 Billion Total volume of crypto transactions in Turkey has reached $200 billion a year, with crypto inflows of approximately $878 billion since 2021 and up to mid-2025. Retail activity also remains strong. As the early 2026 data shows, trading volume surged by 7% year on year to around $40 billion placing Türkiye in the top five countries for crypto adoption in a submerged global ranking. The market is seeking to go beyond the individual trader, however. Digital assets are being adopted by businesses and financial institutions for actual financial transactions as pressure on the dollar currency grows and liquidity remains constrained. As a result of that environment, there is a more pressing need for investing in stable coins, like Ripple USD, or RLUSD. Read More: Ripple Launches Ripple Mint, Unlocking Scalable RLUSD Access for Global Institutions Ripple Expands Custody Through Garanti BBVA Kripto Crypto regulations became much stricter in Türkiye since 2024. Regulatory authority over cryptocurrencies was assigned to the Capital Markets Board (CMB) by Law No. 7518, and subsidiary rules were included in March 2025 and provided the regulatory framework for crypto asset service providers as well as licensing, capital and anti-money laundering requirements. In addition, further custody conditions were established by the extension of the restrictions in 2026 to solidify the regulatory framework for digital asset companies in the nation. Ripple has taken advantage of that change to further expand its institutional penetration. Garanti BBVA Kripto, digital asset subsidiary of Garanti BBVA, utilizes Ripple Yard, the solutions supplier, to service its Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP operations. Following its successful pilot in 2023, the service was rolled out to the bank’s customers later that year.

The Turkish platforms Bilira and Bitlo are offering to institutions and users this asset, the dolhardollar, in the era when the demand for dollar-backed liquidity is increasing. The shift is particularly important as retail investors turned to cryptocurrencies as a viable alternative when the lira has not been able to withstand the inflationary pressures. Digital asset services are now expanding as banks and financial companies sense more assurance in the certification. Ripple has identified Türkiye as a potential market for their custody, compliance and stablecoin solutions, in addition to a country with high levels of crypto adoption.

Bitcoin slips below $86k as ETF outflows cap recovery efforts

COINS NEWS

Key takeaways Bitcoin has dropped below $86,000 on Tuesday after gaining more than 12% across three consecutive positive weeks. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded an outflow of $90 million following last week’s massive inflow.& Resistance stands at $87,599 and near $90,000, while $85,000 remains immediate support. Bitcoin consolidates after three weeks of gains Bitcoin held below $86,000 on Tuesday, preserving a recovery of more than 12% since mid-September as ETF demand and shifting interest-rate expectations supported sentiment. The cryptocurrency has recorded three consecutive weekly gains and is approaching resistance that could determine whether buyers extend the advance toward $90,000. Its technical structure remains constructive across daily and weekly charts. However, some daily momentum readings have moderated, suggesting consolidation near recent highs rather than an uninterrupted climb. Holding the nearby $85,000 support level would help preserve that bullish structure. A break below it would increase the possibility of a deeper correction. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $241.09 million in net inflows last week, according to SoSoValue data. The result marked a third consecutive positive week, showing that demand through these products continued alongside bitcoin’s price recovery. However, the week began negatively, with the funds recording an outflow of $90 million on Monday.& Repeated inflows provide a supportive backdrop, although they do not guarantee further gains. Their significance will depend on whether buying persists and how it compares with selling elsewhere in the market. An acceleration in inflows would strengthen the demand picture as bitcoin approaches overhead resistance. Conversely, weaker flows could leave the recovery more dependent on other buyers. For now, ETF activity remains one of the factors supporting the recent advance. Weak payrolls reduce October hike expectations Investors also scaled back expectations for another Federal Reserve rate increase after Friday’s weaker-than-expected U.S. employment report. September nonfarm payrolls rose by 29,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, falling short of the expected 90,000 increase. August’s gain was revised down to 133,000 from 162,000. Following the report, CME FedWatch placed the probability of an October rate hike at 18.3% on Monday, down from approximately 70% the previous week. Reduced expectations for tightening can support risk assets by easing concerns about more restrictive financial conditions. However, lower hike odds are not a promise of easier policy. They reflect market pricing that can change as additional economic data becomes available. Bitcoin technical forecast: Weekly resistance stands between BTC and $90,000 On the weekly chart, bitcoin faces initial resistance at $87,599, the 50% retracement between the August 2024 low of $49,000 and the October 2025 record high of $126,199. A successful close above that level would bring the 100-week simple moving average at approximately $89,832 into focus, followed by the psychological $90,000 threshold. Weekly momentum supports the recovery. The Relative Strength Index is around 62 and rising, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence shows expanding positive histogram bars. If resistance holds and a broader correction develops, the cited downside references include the $78,490 Fibonacci level and the 50-day SMA near $77,201. The daily chart shows bitcoin above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages, reinforcing the near-term bullish bias. The daily RSI stands near 67, indicating strong momentum just below conventional overbought territory. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram has eased toward zero, suggesting upward pressure is slowing. Immediate support lies at $85,000. A daily close below that floor would weaken the consolidation structure and expose the 50-day EMA near $79,189. Further below, the 100-day EMA at $75,367 and the 200-day EMA near $74,994 form a deeper support area. More distant horizontal levels sit at $66,500 and $62,300. Bitcoin’s recovery remains intact, but clearing $87,599 would provide stronger confirmation that buyers can carry the move toward $90,000.

Zcash dips below $1,348 as ETF outflows ease and NU7 enters testing

COINS NEWS

Key takeaways Zcash trades around $1,348 on Tuesday, holding modest gains that began Sunday. NU7 is active on the public testnet, with a mainnet decision scheduled for Oct. 20 and deployment targeted for Nov. 5. Improving momentum supports recovery prospects, but ZEC must clear resistance around $1,377&-$1,384.& Zcash is consolidating below $1,348 on Tuesday, maintaining modest gains from Sunday as investors assess slower ETF withdrawals and progress toward the network’s next upgrade. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency faces a mixed near-term picture. Momentum indicators are improving, but its price remains below two important moving averages on the four-hour chart. Meanwhile, smaller withdrawals from Grayscale’s Zcash-focused fund suggest redemption pressure has moderated.& However, outflows remain negative, meaning the latest figures indicate reduced selling through that channel rather than renewed net buying. The combination provides a more supportive backdrop for recovery, although a sustained price breakout has yet to materialize. NU7 tests faster blocks and revised mining rewards Zcash’s NU7 upgrade is now active on the public testnet. Developers are scheduled to decide on mainnet activation on Oct. 20, with Nov. 5 remaining the target deployment date. The upgrade reduces targeted block spacing from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. Producing blocks more frequently could shorten confirmation waits, although it does not guarantee that every transaction will complete three times faster.& Actual block intervals and the confirmation requirements set by individual services still matter. NU7 also introduces a Network Sustainability Mechanism that redirects 60% of transaction fees toward future mining rewards. Another change limits shielded actions to help reduce network spam. If activated on mainnet, the upgrade would disable legacy Sprout version 4 transactions. Users with funds remaining in that pool would need to move them beforehand to retain the ability to spend them through the existing system. These changes remain in testing. Their potential benefits have not yet been deployed across the live Zcash network. Grayscale’s ZCSH fund recorded approximately $3.57 million in net outflows on Monday, according to SoSoValue data. That followed $93.56 million in total withdrawals last week, including three sessions with more than $25 million in outflows each. Monday’s smaller withdrawal represents an improvement from those individual sessions. However, comparing one trading day with an entire week does not establish how the current week will finish. The latest data suggests less immediate pressure from redemptions, while leaving the direction of future flows uncertain. A return to sustained inflows would provide stronger evidence that demand through the fund is recovering. Improving momentum meets overhead resistance On the four-hour chart, ZEC remains below its 50-period and 100-period exponential moving averages at approximately $1,377 and $1,384. That cluster forms the immediate resistance zone. A sustained move above both averages would improve the near-term structure and bring $1,422, the broken Sept. 18 low, into focus. Beyond that level, the Sept. 23 high at $1,679 represents a more distant upside reference. Momentum indicators offer some encouragement. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence has crossed above its signal line, with its histogram expanding into positive territory. The Relative Strength Index is near 50, indicating broadly neutral momentum. The supplied analysis also identifies a bullish divergence, suggesting selling momentum may be weakening, though price confirmation remains necessary. The rising 200-period EMA near $1,281 provides the immediate support reference beneath the current consolidation. Holding that level would preserve the possibility that recent weakness is a correction within the broader recovery. A sustained break below it would weaken that interpretation and expose the next cited support near $1,050. For now, Zcash remains between a rising support average and overhead resistance. Slower ETF withdrawals and improving momentum help the recovery case, but clearing $1,377&-$1,384 would provide a more concrete bullish signal.

Better Markets says CFTC is ‘wrong agency’ to regulate retail crypto

COINS NEWS

Better Markets said the CFTC’s proposed framework to bring certain cryptocurrency transactions and exchanges under its oversight will leave investors less protected than under the SEC. Better Markets says the US derivatives regulator’s push to develop rules for certain retail crypto transactions could leave investors with weaker safeguards, arguing the agency is ill-equipped to oversee the market.& The Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Monday sought public comment on a potential framework for margined, leveraged or financed retail crypto transactions under its existing authority. Benjamin Schiffrin, director of securities policy at Better Markets, a nonprofit financial reform advocacy group, argued that CFTC oversight is less suited than the SEC to protecting retail investors.& “Unlike the SEC, the CFTC lacks an investor protection mandate. Its mission is to regulate the commodity and derivatives markets, which historically have been dominated by large institutions with very little retail investor participation,” said Schiffrin.& Read more

Crypto Licensing Enters a New Era as Global Regulations Accelerate in 2026

COINS NEWS

The global digital asset industry is entering a defining chapter as governments and financial regulators continue to introduce comprehensive frameworks for crypto licensing. After years of uncertainty, many jurisdictions are shifting away from fragmented oversight toward structured authorization systems designed to improve transparency, strengthen consumer protection, and support sustainable market growth. Throughout 2026, crypto licensing has become one of the most discussed topics among blockchain companies, fintech startups, institutional investors, and compliance professionals. Rather than treating regulation as a barrier, an increasing number of businesses now view licensing as a competitive advantage that enables international expansion and builds long-term trust with customers. Regulation Is Moving from Guidance to Enforcement The regulatory landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years. Authorities that once relied primarily on general financial legislation are now introducing dedicated licensing regimes specifically designed for digital asset service providers. This transition reflects the growing maturity of the industry. As crypto-related services become integrated into payment systems, investment platforms, and digital commerce, regulators are demanding higher operational standards from companies that manage customer assets or facilitate digital transactions. Businesses entering the market today are expected to demonstrate more than innovative technology. Licensing applications increasingly require detailed governance structures, risk management policies, cybersecurity frameworks, anti-money laundering procedures, and ongoing compliance programs. The result is a more professional ecosystem where licensed companies are better positioned to attract institutional partnerships and operate across multiple jurisdictions. Europe Continues to Set the Pace Europe remains one of the most influential regions in shaping the future of crypto licensing. The implementation of harmonized regulatory standards across European markets is encouraging companies to rethink their licensing strategies. Instead of maintaining separate compliance approaches for different countries, many organizations are preparing for broader operational frameworks that allow them to serve multiple markets under consistent regulatory expectations. This shift has created significant demand for legal advisors, compliance specialists, technology providers, and licensing consultants capable of guiding businesses through increasingly sophisticated authorization processes. Industry experts note that obtaining a license is no longer viewed as the final objective. Maintaining ongoing compliance has become equally important, requiring regular reporting, internal audits, employee training, and continuous monitoring of regulatory updates. More Jurisdictions Compete to Attract Digital Asset Businesses While Europe remains a major regulatory hub, competition among international jurisdictions continues to intensify. Countries across Asia, the Middle East, North America, and offshore financial centers are refining their licensing frameworks to attract responsible digital asset businesses while maintaining high compliance standards. Many regulators are balancing two important objectives: Encouraging innovation within financial technology. Preventing financial crime and protecting consumers. This balance has resulted in licensing models that differ in complexity, capital requirements, reporting obligations, and supervisory expectations. For businesses planning international expansion, selecting the right licensing jurisdiction has become a strategic business decision rather than simply a legal requirement. Institutional Investors Prefer Licensed Platforms One of the strongest trends observed during 2026 is the growing preference of institutional investors for licensed crypto businesses. Banks, venture capital firms, payment providers, and financial institutions increasingly evaluate regulatory status before establishing commercial relationships with crypto companies. A recognized license demonstrates that a business has undergone regulatory scrutiny and operates within defined legal standards. Although licensing does not eliminate operational risk, it significantly improves credibility and provides additional confidence to partners and customers alike. This trend is encouraging even early-stage blockchain startups to prioritize licensing much earlier in their development cycle than was common just a few years ago. Compliance Technology Is Becoming Essential As regulatory obligations become more sophisticated, technology is playing an increasingly important role in helping licensed companies remain compliant. Modern compliance solutions now automate many previously manual processes, including customer verification, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, suspicious activity detection, document management, and regulatory reporting. Artificial intelligence is also beginning to assist compliance teams by identifying unusual transaction patterns, improving fraud detection, and reducing false-positive alerts. These technological improvements allow licensed businesses to manage growing regulatory responsibilities more efficiently while maintaining operational scalability. Licensing Influences Customer Trust Consumer expectations have also evolved considerably. Retail and institutional users alike are paying closer attention to whether a platform operates under regulatory supervision before depositing funds or using digital asset services. Market participants increasingly associate licensing with transparency, accountability, and stronger operational controls. Although no regulatory framework can completely eliminate business risk, licensed providers generally offer greater visibility regarding governance, complaint handling, compliance practices, and customer protection mechanisms. For many businesses, displaying licensing credentials has become an important component of their overall brand strategy. Challenges Remain for Smaller Businesses Despite the positive momentum, obtaining a crypto license continues to present significant challenges, particularly for startups and smaller technology companies. Application procedures often require extensive documentation, experienced compliance personnel, legal expertise, and ongoing financial commitments. In addition to initial licensing costs, companies must prepare for continuous regulatory supervision, periodic reporting, independent audits, and evolving compliance obligations. These requirements may increase operational expenses, but many industry observers argue that stronger regulation ultimately contributes to a healthier and more sustainable market by discouraging fraudulent operators and encouraging responsible business practices. The Future of Crypto Licensing Looking ahead, industry analysts expect crypto licensing to become even more interconnected across international markets. Greater cooperation between financial regulators may simplify cross-border supervision while improving information sharing related to financial crime prevention and consumer protection. Emerging technologies such as tokenized financial instruments, decentralized finance integrations, stablecoin ecosystems, and blockchain-based payment infrastructures are also expected to influence future licensing requirements. Rather than slowing innovation, modern regulatory frameworks are increasingly being designed to support responsible growth while maintaining market integrity. Companies that invest early in governance, compliance, and licensing are likely to benefit from stronger business relationships, improved customer confidence, and greater access to international opportunities. Crypto licensing is no longer viewed as a niche regulatory requirement reserved for large financial institutions. It has become a central pillar of the digital asset industry and an essential element of long-term business strategy. As governments continue refining regulatory frameworks throughout 2026, licensed businesses are expected to enjoy greater credibility, stronger institutional partnerships, and improved opportunities for global expansion. For companies operating in the rapidly evolving blockchain economy, compliance is increasingly becoming more than a legal obligation; it is a foundation for sustainable growth, investor confidence, and long-term success.

Chinese crime network laundered over $1B for Lazarus: ZachXBT

COINS NEWS

ZachXBT says he infiltrated the network by posing as a customer, gaining information that helped trace funds from the $1.5 billion Bybit hack. A Chinese organized crime syndicate laundered more than $1 billion stolen in multiple crypto exploits for North Korea’s Lazarus Group, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT.& In an Oct. 5 thread on X, pseudonymous blockchain investigator ZachXBT said he posed as a paying client to infiltrate the money laundering network in February 2025, just days after the Bybit hack. He put up $349,700 in stablecoins and took a 5% loss on each order to build trust with one of the network’s operators, known as “Jimmy Green.”ZachXBT said the operations spanned Hong Kong and mainland China, and information supplied by the launderer helped him identify a cluster of more than $12 million in Bybit-linked funds, with Tether later freezing $442,000 in associated USDt (USDT).& Read more

FinCEN withdraws proposed crypto mixing rule over ‘legitimate activity’ concerns

Binance Launches Retail AI Assistant, Repackages Existing Trading Tools

COINS NEWS

Binance has grouped its artificial intelligence products under a new Binance Intelligence brand, combining a newly launched retail market assistant with two trading tools that were already available in some form. Binance AI began rolling out to eligible users in New Zealand on 5 October and is expected to reach additional markets over the coming days. Agent OS has operated since August, while a limited paid beta of Binance AI Pro has been available since March. AI Pro Was Already Available as a Paid Beta Binance says AI Pro will launch in the coming weeks, although the exchange introduced a limited beta on 25 March. The beta cost $9.99 per month after a seven-day trial, with Binance listing a regular monthly price of $29.99. It allowed users to connect AI models to a dedicated sub-account and automate spot and perpetual orders, leveraged borrowing, market monitoring and custom trading strategies. The AI account was separated from the customer’s main account, and its API key could not withdraw or transfer funds. Users had to move capital into the sub-account before the agent could execute trades. The latest version is presented as a no-code workflow builder. Users will be able to describe a strategy in plain language, test it through paper trading and activate it for live execution after reviewing the resulting workflow. Trading will remain subject to the permissions, and limits chosen by the user. Binance has not explained whether the forthcoming release will replace the existing beta, extend it to more users or introduce a different pricing model. Paper trading was not listed among the functions in the March beta announcement, suggesting that the product has changed since its initial release. Binance AI Begins Retail Rollout The clearly new live product is Binance AI, an assistant integrated into the exchange’s app. It provides market briefings, profit-and-loss summaries, price alerts and information on sentiment, macroeconomic developments and activity across crypto sectors. Where personalisation is enabled, the assistant can adapt the information displayed using a client’s holdings, preferences and previous product usage. Its announced functions centre on research and portfolio monitoring rather than automated execution. The service is free. Binance launched it first for eligible users in New Zealand and said a wider rollout would follow, although availability will remain subject to regional eligibility.Agent OS Remains the Developer ToolThe third component, Agent OS, was launched in August for developers and technically experienced users building external AI agents. It connects those applications to Binance functions including market data, trading, wallets, payments and on-chain services. Agents operate through dedicated sub-accounts with permissions set by the user. Withdrawals are prohibited, access can be revoked and an emergency control can disconnect connected agents. As Finance Magnates previously reported, Binance supplies the account connections, execution infrastructure and controls, while the external developer remains responsible for the agent itself. Binance Intelligence gives these products a common name and divides them among developers, app users and traders seeking no-code automation. Their availability remains fragmented, however: the retail assistant is beginning its geographic rollout, Agent OS is already operational, and the next stage of AI Pro has yet to be distinguished clearly from its existing paid beta.

Treasury yields at 5% threaten extending Bitcoin’s best quarter since 2017

COINS NEWS

Weak US jobs data has narrowed expectations for another Fed hike in October, offering Bitcoin some relief as investors continue to embrace the debasement trade. Bitcoin (BTC) is coming off its best third quarter since 2017, but extending the rally may prove more difficult as Treasury yields above 5% offer investors an increasingly attractive alternative to risk assets, according to Delphi Digital.& In its latest weekly newsletter, Delphi highlighted Bitcoin’s 43% gain in the third quarter, followed by a third straight weekly advance last week. However, “the grind higher is happening against real resistance,” Delphi wrote, pointing to the Federal Reserve’s September rate hike and surging Treasury yields, which have reached multi-decade highs.“When a government bond pays over 5% risk-free, every risky asset has to work harder to deserve the money,” Delphi wrote.Read more

Best NFT Gaming Sites to Play in 2026

COINS NEWS

NFT gaming platforms combine blockchain-based tokens with online game and prediction products. This article reviews ten of the more visible NFT-linked platforms in 2026, comparing them on the factors that affect user risk rather than promotional value: licensing and what it protects, game and payment structure, country restrictions, and documented user feedback. One point matters more than any headline figure. Most of these platforms operate under offshore licenses such as Anjouan or Curaçao, which carry limited consumer-protection obligations compared with regimes like the UK or Malta. Several also market themselves as non-GamStop, which means UK users give up access to the Gambling Commission and UK dispute channels. The sections below cover what each platform offers and where its main limitations sit. 1. Roobet Roobet is the best pick in this list of the best crypto gaming sites, positioned as a broad digital gaming hub rather than a single-purpose platform. Launched in 2019, it offers 7,384 games from 81 providers, alongside sports and esports markets. The platform supports major cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, SOL, BNB, XRP, TRX, LTC, and DOGE, while also offering web and mobile-web access. Pros of Roobet Large game library with more than 7,000 titles from dozens of established providers. Broad crypto support makes deposits and account funding flexible for digital-asset users. Combines gaming, sports, esports, proprietary Roobet titles, and loyalty rewards within one account. Cons of Roobet The platform is unavailable in a number of restricted jurisdictions, including the United States and United Kingdom. Mobile access is browser-based, with no dedicated app listed in the provided platform data. The supplied information does not identify NFT ownership, staking, or marketplace functionality as core platform features. Best Features of Roobet 7,384-Game Library: Roobet brings together slots, live gaming, table-style titles, and proprietary Roobet Games from 81 providers. Multi-Crypto Access: Users can fund accounts with major assets such as BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, SOL, BNB, and DOGE. Roobet Rewards: Daily, weekly, and monthly rewards can include cashback, rakeback, RooSpins, and other account bonuses. roobet data 2. WSM WSM is a Wall Street–themed platform offering live-dealer games and branded in-house titles, with a native token, $WSM, used for platform perks. It also accepts BTC, ETH, and $WSM to play on sports and esports markets. Pros of WSM Large game library covering predicting and sportsbook categories. Native token gives access to staking and platform rewards. Reload and match promotions available, subject to conditions. Cons of WSM Users report slow payout times, and support is not available around the clock. Withdrawals above a set threshold require identity verification, and payouts are crypto-only. Loyalty tiers are built around high wagering volumes, offering little to casual users. Best Features of WSM VIP/Loyalty Program: A tiered system that unlocks cashback, faster withdrawals, and account-manager access as wagering volume rises. The tiers are set high, so the benefits apply mainly to frequent, high-volume users rather than casual ones. Welcome Promotion: A first-deposit match with a stated minimum deposit and playthrough conditions that determine how much credit becomes withdrawable. $WSM Token: A native token that can be staked for platform perks. As a crypto asset, its value fluctuates and staking carries the usual lock-up and market risk. 3. Instaspin Instaspin is a modern NFT platform with unique social gaming features. Instaspin offers slots, table games, and live-dealer titles from established providers, with a social feature that lets users view and copy other players’ activity in real time. Pros of Instaspin Clean, easy-to-navigate interface with games grouped by category. Broad selection of slots, table, and live-dealer games. Offers a welcome package, though it carries playthrough requirements. Cons of Instaspin Access is restricted in certain countries. Support is not 24/7, and some users report slow responses and concerns over promotional practices. Operates outside GamStop, so self-excluded UK users lose UKGC recourse if a dispute arises. Best Features of Instaspin Game Library: A categorized catalog of slots, table, and live-dealer titles from established providers. Non-GamStop Access: Available to UK users who have self-excluded from UKGC-licensed sites. This removes access to UK dispute and protection channels, so it is a limitation as much as a point of access. Live and Game-Show Titles: Live-dealer tables and game-show-style formats streamed from major providers, for users who prefer live over automated play. 4. Golden Panda Golden Panda is an Asian-themed platform established in 2024 . The platform offers players 4,000+ games from top providers like Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, No Limit City, Evolution, and Hacksaw Gaming. Pros of Golden Panda Large game library from established providers, including a wide live-dealer section. Offers 24/7 live chat and a match-based welcome promotion with defined conditions. Includes a weekly cashback option without wagering on the cashback itself. Cons of Golden Panda Runs fewer ongoing promotions than comparable platforms. Despite 24/7 chat, users report long queues and unresponsive email support. Regional restrictions apply, so availability depends on location. Best Features of Golden Panda Promotions: A match-based welcome offer with a stated minimum deposit, released in increments against a defined wagering requirement, plus a weekly cashback option. Live Streaming : A large live-dealer section with table games and game-show formats from established providers, including host interaction. 5. CoinPoker CoinPoker is a crypto and NFT poker room that sponsors the Argentina football team. The NFT ecosystem mainly offers games in USDT. However, it allows traders to deposit and withdraw using other cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and BNB. In addition to using USDT for games, it has its token, CHP, which is only used for bonuses. Pros of CoinPoker On-chain RNG lets users independently verify game fairness. Covers a wide range of sports markets in addition to poker. Offers a first-deposit promotion with a stated minimum and conditions. Cons of CoinPoker Focused on poker, with fewer general gaming categories than competitors. Withdrawals are limited to private wallets, with no centralized-exchange support. Requires a self-custody wallet, which adds a step for less experienced users. Best Features of CoinPoker Mobile App: Native apps for iOS and Android, installed directly rather than through app stores. Tournaments: A regular schedule of buy-in tournaments and series with varying formats and prize pools. Entry requires a buy-in, and prize pools are shared among participants. Bad Beat Jackpot: A shared poker prize pool funded by table rake that pays out when a strong hand loses to a stronger one, distributed among players under set conditions. 6. Instant Casino Instant Casino is an online NFT platform launched in 2024. The platform offers about 4,000 games, including slots, classic table games, live prediction games, and specialty games like Bingo and Scratch Cards. The games are powered by top providers such as Microgaming, NetEnt, Evolution, Pragmatic Play, and Red Tiger, providing high-quality graphics and gameplay. With the fast payout system, this business processes withdrawal requests instantly. Pros of Instant Casino Fast withdrawal processing compared with many peers. Offers a welcome promotion and cashback, with cashback free of wagering. Pay’n Play access in supported countries removes a registration step. Cons of Instant Casino Some users report delays with larger withdrawals despite the instant-payout claim. Limited responsible-use tools compared with peers. Not available in several major markets, including the US, UK, France, and Germany. Best Features of Instant Casino Sports Partnership Promotions: Time-limited campaigns tied to a football-club partnership, offering experience-based and merchandise rewards through periodic draws. Provider Drop Campaigns: Participation in a provider-run promotion with periodic prize drops across selected slots and live games, subject to that provider’s terms. 7. Mega Dice Mega Dice gained recognition as the first entertainment hub to operate via Telegram. It allows players to access games and play directly in the app via a Telegram bot. Mega Dice offers 5,000+ games, including slots, game shows, table games, live games, dice games, and sports predicting. Pros of Mega Dice Accessible through both a website and a Telegram interface. Large game library from a wide range of providers. Uses standard security measures, including SSL and two-factor authentication. Cons of Mega Dice Primarily crypto-based, with limited fiat options. Promotions carry high playthrough conditions. Token staking ties users to variable, non-guaranteed returns with lock-up periods, a risk separate from gameplay. Best Features of Mega Dice Telegram Access: Core functions, including deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay, are available through a Telegram bot in addition to the website. Token Staking: The $DICE token can be locked in fixed-term pools for variable returns. Returns are not guaranteed, unstaking carries a withdrawal lock, and the token is exposed to market volatility, so this is a financial-risk feature rather than a reward. $DICE Token: A native utility token used for platform access, governance participation, and promotions. 8. Lucky Block Lucky Block is a cryptocurrency-based online gaming platform launched in 2022. The platform offers a wide range of games, including 4,000 games alongside a sportsbook covering more than 35 sports markets. Aside from featuring games from top providers, it also offers provably fair games using blockchain technology to ensure fair play. Lucky Block integrates its native LBLOCK token, providing users with perks such as rakebacks, cashback, tailored promotions, staking opportunities, and exclusive NFT-based VIP experiences. Pros of Lucky Block Provably fair games verifiable on-chain. Large game library including live-dealer and poker options. Offers instant deposits and quick withdrawals for most methods. Cons of Lucky Block Bonus terms are complex, with layered wagering that makes credit hard to convert to withdrawable funds. Access is restricted in several countries, including the US, UK, Australia, and France. Staking returns are variable and carry standard crypto-asset risk. Best Features of Lucky Block VIP Club: A tier for frequent users offering cashback and rakeback that scale with activity, along with a dedicated manager at higher levels. The thresholds favor high-volume play. Loyalty Program: A tier-based system where users progress by meeting wagering thresholds regardless of outcome, unlocking cashback and free spins. $LBLOCK Staking: Native-token staking with returns that vary by amount and lock-up length. As with any crypto asset, returns are variable and principal is at market risk. 9. Wreckbet WreckBet is a new, pirate-themed gaming platform offering a broad game selection and generous bonuses. It is licensed offshore under Curacao and Anjouan, but not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). Still, it primarily targets and offers services to UK players seeking non-GamStop options. Pros of Wreckbet 24/7 support, generally reported as responsive. Broad game and sportsbook selection for a newer platform. Offers a welcome promotion and weekly reloads, subject to conditions. Cons of Wreckbet Not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission; targets UK users through non-GamStop access, which removes UKGC recourse. Promotions carry high playthrough conditions. Loyalty structure favors high-volume users, offering little to casual ones. Best Features of Wreckbet Sportsbook Promotions: A rewards layer on multi-leg places and a refund mechanism on certain tennis outcomes, both governed by specific qualifying conditions. Loyalty Program: A points-based system that unlocks cashback on losses and free spins as users progress. Milestones are set high, so casual users advance slowly, and it lacks the account-management perks found on some other platforms. 10. BC.Game BC.Game is a leading Web3 entertainment and online gaming platform blending traditional games with blockchain technology to give users immersive gaming experiences. Established in 2017, the platform operates as a licensed crypto gaming hub and sportsbook, offering various online games, sports predicting, and lottery options. Pros of BC.Game Long operating history and a large game library, including in-house titles. Active community features and regular platform updates. Offers a welcome promotion and loyalty rewards with defined terms. Cons of BC.Game Crypto-only, with no fiat support, exposing users to asset volatility and removing chargeback protection. Complex bonus terms with high playthrough conditions. Some users report above-average withdrawal fees. Best Features of BC.Game Community Forum: An official forum covering platform updates, game discussion, support, and token topics, with active user participation. VIP Club: A loyalty program that scales with activity, unlocking periodic bonuses, higher rakeback, and event access at higher tiers. NFT Promotions: Periodic campaigns distributing blockchain-based collectibles across supported chains, which users can hold, trade, or use in platform events. What Are the NFT Gaming Sites? NFT gaming sites are online predicting platforms that use non-fungible tokens as part of the gaming experience. Instead of relying solely on fiat currencies or even cryptocurrencies like some digital entertainment hubs, these sites integrate NFTs for deposits, wagering, rewards, ownership, or access to exclusive features. While the use cases of NFTs in online entertainment are still unfolding, some sites allow players to wager with NFTs directly or use them to unlock special games, bonuses, or VIP experiences. In some cases, owning specific NFTs might give users a stake in the platform’s profits or access to community voting rights. What are the Benefits of Playing at NFT Gaming Hub? The benefits of playing at NFT gaming hub are provably fair gaming, faster and private transactions, exclusive rewards, and passive earning potential through staking. First, the platforms use blockchain technology to ensure game transparency and fairness. Every transaction and game outcome can be verified on the blockchain, enhancing trust between players and operators. Secondly, players enjoy faster, more secure, and more private transactions since they can register with KYC verification at some gaming platforms. Aside from KYC, using cryptocurrencies and NFTs allows for quick, safe, and often anonymous transactions without traditional banking intermediaries, reducing costs and speeding up deposits and withdrawals. Finally, playing at NFT gaming hub can be seen as an entertainment and investment opportunity. Some platforms like Roobet, Mega Dice, and Lucky Block allow players to stake their crypto holdings for a specific period, usually starting at 30 days, in exchange for profits. What are the NFT Gaming Bonuses? Promotional credit on these platforms usually takes the form of welcome offers, free spins, reload credit, and loyalty or VIP rewards. The important detail is not the advertised size of these offers but their conditions. Most come with playthrough (wagering) requirements that determine how much, if any, of the credit can eventually be withdrawn, and these conditions vary widely between platforms. Referral credit is also common, where an existing user and a new user both receive rewards after the new user signs up and meets requirements. The mechanism resembles referral programs on mainstream exchanges; for a comparison on regulated trading platforms, this crypto sign-up bonus guide covers referral offers across major exchanges. What are the Differences Between NFT Gaming Sites vs Traditional Play Hub? The differences between NFT gaming sites vs traditional play hubs are anonymity and privacy, supported currencies, access, rewards, transaction speed, and security. While traditional online gaming hubs often require identity verification and personal details, NFT entertainment systems usually allow players to participate using just a crypto wallet, offering a more private experience. Regarding supported currencies, NFT/crypto predicting sites rely on digital assets, whereas traditional entertainment platforms primarily operate with fiat currencies. In terms of access, NFT gaming sites are usually open to anyone with an internet connection and a crypto wallet, as long as the platform you choose is not restricted in your region. Thanks to blockchain technology, transaction speed is faster on NFT gaming platforms, enabling near-instant deposits and withdrawals. In contrast, traditional gaming transactions can be slower due to banking processes. Lastly, NFT entertained sites operate on decentralized systems, offering transparent smart contracts and provably fair games, while traditional sites rely on centralized systems that require trust in the house’s fairness. How to Choose the Best NFT Gaming Sites to Play? Before using any NFT-linked platform, assess it against factors that affect user protection more than promotional appeal: licensing and regulation, game structure, supported assets, promotional terms, security, user experience, and transaction costs. Licensing and Regulation: Verify that the NFT sites hold a reputable license (e.g., Curaçao, Malta) to ensure that they operate legally and follow regulatory standards for player protection. Game Variety: Look for platforms offering a wide range of games, including slots, live games, table games, and NFT-specific games. Top sites like Mega Dice and BC.Game offers thousands of titles from leading software providers, ensuring quality and diversity. Supported Cryptocurrencies and NFTs: Choose NFT sites that support multiple cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, USDC, etc.) and allow you to use, earn, or trade NFTs easily. Bonuses and Promotions: Evaluate welcome bonuses, free spins, reloads, cashback, and ongoing promotions. Some NFT hubs offer generous packages, but check the wagering requirements and fairness of terms. Security and Privacy: Ensure the site uses strong encryption and privacy measures. NFT sites often allow anonymous play with crypto wallets, reducing the need for personal data submission. The best NFT platforms should have secure NFT wallet integration like MetaMask, Coinbase, Binance, or eToro. User Experience: A smooth, intuitive interface enhances gameplay. Some sites may have cluttered layouts due to many offerings, so choose one that balances features with ease of use. Transaction Speed and Fees: Look for fast deposits and withdrawals with low fees. Crypto transactions offer instant processing compared to traditional fiat methods. If you are new to NFT gaming sites or the crypto space in general, read this guide on how to buy meme coins for a straightforward process to transfer crypto from one wallet to another. How Do NFT Gaming Sites Work? NFT gaming sites work by letting players use NFTs to fund their accounts and play game on classic prediction games, ranging from slots and table games to bingo and crypto-native titles. Instead of crypto or fiat currencies, these platforms use NFTs as a medium of exchange, offering a decentralized and secure gaming environment to play online. But beyond gameplay, some sites are exploring ways to provide NFTs as welcome bonuses, part of loyalty rewards, or even cashback.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial run lacks the crypto rhetoric of his presidential bid

And while he isn’t exactly distancing himself from positions on digital assets, he isn’t putting them at the forefront of his campaign despite substantial exposure to crypto investments and the Buckeye state’s interests.Read more

PI dips below $0.090 as bearish momentum builds despite rising OI

COINS NEWS

Key takeaways PI trades near $0.0865 on Monday, extending its decline for a fifth consecutive day. Futures open interest rises to $10.15 million from $9.78 million, indicating increased outstanding exposure. Support sits at $0.0827 and $0.0801, with initial recovery resistance at $0.0911. Pi Network extends losses despite broader market optimism Pi Network continues to weaken on Monday, trading below $0.090 as its losing streak stretches to five consecutive days. At approximately $0.0865, the token remains under pressure despite relatively upbeat sentiment across the wider cryptocurrency market. The broader Fear and Greed Index stands at 67, according to CoinMarketCap, placing sentiment in greed territory. That reading suggests market participants retain an appetite for risk, but the optimism has yet to translate into a sustained recovery for PI. The divergence highlights the importance of the token’s own price structure. While the wider market mood provides context, PI’s declining price and subdued momentum indicators suggest buyers have struggled to regain control. Its next move will depend on whether nearby support attracts sufficient demand to interrupt the decline or selling pressure pushes the token toward its recent lows. CoinAnk data shows PI futures open interest at $10.15 million, up from $9.78 million the previous day. The increase of approximately 3.8% indicates a modest buildup in outstanding derivatives exposure while the spot price continues to fall. Open interest measures the notional value of active contracts. Its increase points to continued participation, but does not reveal whether that positioning is predominantly bullish or bearish. Consequently, the latest rise should not be treated as confirmation of stronger buying demand. New short positions, additional long exposure or a combination of both could contribute to the increase. For traders holding leveraged long positions, continued spot weakness presents a risk. Rising open interest alongside falling prices makes the direction and resilience of that exposure relevant, although the supplied figures do not establish which side dominates. Moving averages and momentum favor sellers PI remains below its major daily exponential moving averages, reinforcing the bearish technical picture. The 50-day EMA stands at $0.0911, above the current price and acting as the first recovery hurdle. The 100-day EMA sits near $0.0991, while the 200-day EMA is considerably higher at $0.1219. This arrangement shows that PI has yet to reclaim either its shorter-term trend reference or the averages associated with its broader price direction. Momentum indicators also lean bearish. The Relative Strength Index reads approximately 43, below the neutral midpoint of 50. That suggests weaker buying momentum, though the indicator has not reached conventional oversold territory. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence remains slightly negative. Together, the RSI and MACD readings support a cautious near-term outlook, with sellers retaining the technical advantage. Immediate support lies at $0.0827, corresponding to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement measured between $0.1341 and $0.0704. The July 31 low at $0.0801 provides another nearby reference. If PI loses those levels, the $0.0704 swing low becomes the next downside area to monitor. A move toward that level would represent a deeper extension of the current decline rather than confirmation that a rebound is underway. For a recovery, buyers first need to overcome the 50-day EMA at $0.0911. Beyond it, resistance clusters around the 50% Fibonacci retracement at $0.0990 and the 100-day EMA at $0.0991. Reclaiming those barriers would improve the technical picture. Until then, rising derivatives participation offers limited reassurance against the token’s persistent price weakness.

Dogecoin tops $0.096 as ETF inflows and derivatives signal improving sentiment

COINS NEWS

Key takeaways Spot DOGE ETFs attracted $327,360, extending their inflow streak to three weeks. CoinGlass’ long-to-short ratio reached 1.01, indicating a slight bullish tilt. Holding the 200-day EMA near $0.093 preserves the recovery outlook, with resistance at $0.102. Dogecoin is extending its recovery on Monday, trading above $0.096 as continued ETF inflows and improving derivatives positioning support sentiment. The meme coin found support around a key technical zone last week and remains above its major daily moving averages. However, momentum indicators present a mixed picture, suggesting buyers retain an advantage without establishing a decisive acceleration. The immediate test is whether DOGE can defend its 200-day exponential moving average near $0.093 and generate enough demand to challenge resistance at $0.102. DOGE ETFs extend their inflow streak Spot Dogecoin ETFs recorded $327,360 in net inflows last week, according to SoSoValue data. The positive total marked a third consecutive week of inflows, showing that investors continued adding exposure through the products. Although the streak supports the demand picture, ETF flows represent only one part of Dogecoin’s market. The figures do not establish that every allocation came from an institutional investor or that buying through the funds will outweigh selling elsewhere. Continued positive flows would reinforce the recovery case, particularly if allocations increase. Conversely, a slowdown or reversal would weaken one of the supporting factors behind the current advance. For now, the main signal is consistency: the funds have maintained net buying for three straight weeks. CoinGlass’ Dogecoin long-to-short ratio stood at 1.01 on Monday, moving slightly above the neutral threshold of one. The reading indicates a marginal tilt toward long positions within the dataset. It is an improvement in sentiment, but its proximity to one suggests positioning remains nearly balanced rather than overwhelmingly bullish. DOGE’s funding rate also supports that interpretation. After turning positive on September 10, it reached 0.0092% on Monday. Positive funding means long traders are paying short traders, generally reflecting stronger demand for bullish exposure in perpetual futures. However, funding is a positioning indicator rather than a prediction. If price weakens, leveraged longs can come under pressure despite positive sentiment. Together, the two readings suggest improving confidence, while leaving room for caution about the strength of traders’ conviction. The 200-Day EMA anchors the recovery Dogecoin’s near-term technical outlook remains constructive while price holds above the 200-day EMA at approximately $0.093. The shorter moving averages sit below that level, with the 50-day EMA near $0.088 and the 100-day EMA around $0.086. Trading above all three averages supports the current recovery structure. The 200-day EMA is particularly relevant because it forms the nearest major support beneath the reported price. The Relative Strength Index stands near 58, indicating positive momentum without an overbought reading. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, however, has slipped marginally into negative territory. That points to fading upward momentum and suggests DOGE may need further consolidation before attempting a stronger advance. The first notable upside barrier is $0.102, approximately 6% above $0.096. A sustained move above that level would strengthen the case for extending the recovery.& Buyers would need to maintain the breakout rather than briefly push through resistance before retreating. On the downside, losing $0.093 would bring the $0.088 horizontal support and nearby 50-day EMA into focus. The next moving-average support lies around $0.086, with a more distant structural floor at $0.070. DOGE’s outlook therefore remains cautiously bullish. Continued ETF buying and supportive derivatives positioning could help, but defending $0.093 and clearing $0.102 are the key price tests.

HSBC RedCoin Targets 74% Stablecoin-Aware Users Ahead of Hong Kong Launch

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: HSBC has officially unveiled the name of its stablecoin, HSBC RedCoin Of the 1,060 consumers surveyed, 74% now understand at least one use case for stablecoins, indicating rising consumer awareness Limited to P2P transfers and merchant transactions initially, further institutional applications will follow User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News HSBC has unveiled the official name of its forthcoming Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin, HSBC RedCoin, marking a significant step in the bank’s digital asset strategy. The announcement comes alongside new survey data showing strong interest in stablecoins among Hong Kong consumers, even as concerns around regulation and security remain. HSBC Introduces RedCoin Ahead of Stablecoin Launch The upcoming HSBC dollar stablecoin will be called HSBC RedCoin owing the brand name of the Bank and its enduring presence in Hong Kong, the bank confirmed. The stablecoin has not been made available yet. The token will be released under a stablecoins licence issued earlier this year by HSBC and will be introduced in the second half of 2026. The initial rollout will be to the PayMe platform and the HSBC HK Mobile App. HSBC says they will take first cut at the basic payment features in the initial phase. The app will also enable users to transfer funds among themselves and pay merchants with the stablecoin. Later in the stages it is thought that more advanced use cases involving corporate and institutional transactions will emerge. Bruce Maggie Ng, the CEO of HSBC Hong Kong, said that launching the new offering is a part of the bank’s strategy to enable financial innovation while retaining the trust and security of traditional financial institutions. Read More: BlackRock, JPMorgan, Coinbase Join UK Tokenization Taskforce Targeting $88T RWA Market Survey Reveals Strong Stablecoin Awareness The naming came with a study surveying 1,060 HSBC customers aged 18 to 64. 74% of respondents noted they could see at least one practical use for stablecoins, the results indicated. The most popular were person-to-person transfers with 0.53% and digital asset trading at 0.57%. Both cross-border remittances paced at 52% showed that stablecoins are also becoming a means of payment for consumers, not just a speculative investment. Knowledge Gaps Still Exist Yet misconceptions were discovered with the survey even after increased awareness. 26% identified a stablecoin as a fiat-issued digital asset, though 60% did. The other 10% believed that stablecoins do this naturally and automatically for their owners. The results indicate the need for more education about stables and highlight areas where there is a growing understanding of the products. This is especially relevant considering Hong Kong’s focus on the full emergence of regulated crypto products. Security and Regulation Remain Top Priorities General sentiments surrounding consumer confidence were a central theme in HSBC’s study. Among those asked what would build trust in stablecoins, 53% replied with better fraud prevention. Additionally, 51% pointed to the ease of being able to convert stablecoins back into cash and 39% to transparency concerning reserves assets. The findings are consistent with the digital asset regulatory stance of Hong Kong, where investor protection and regulatory oversight are key concerns. RedCoin Begins with Retail Payments Results of the survey are echoed in HSBC’s rollout plan. The bank will initially look at payment applications that are easily understood by consumers before moving on to complex institutional offerings. P2P transfers and P2M payments are activities familiar to many users which might pave the way for stablecoins. The bank will also introduce an education initiative on the redemption mechanism, stablecoin basics and how to avoid scams.

The total gross cash proceeds, before expenses, will be approximately $300 million. This includes approximately $225 million in related private placements, $30 million in convertible note financing, and approximately $48 million in financing from Armada II’s trust account. Investors have also fundee the transaction with XRP, helping the company plan their digital asset holdings.

It has a number of investors among which are such firms as Ripple, Kraken, The SBI Group, GSR, and Arrington Capital. Additionally, the company stated all advanced and delayed funders are still on board with the transaction, to support the transaction’s expected closing. XRPN Trading Could Begin October 8 All other conditions and covenants must be met and all conditions must be waived for the closing of the business combination to occur on October 7. As a result, this merger will result in a new holding company called Ever-North Holdings, Inc. It will start trading its class A common stock on Nasdaq on October 8 under the symbol XRPN. The listing would provide public-market investors with access to a company focused largely on XRP and not on multiple digital assets in its treasure chest. The investors wouldn’t be holding the XRP directly, but instead the stock of Evernorth, which would depend on the capital structure, operating strategy and execution of Evernorth as well.

It will likely invest in opportunities across the XRP ecosystem and keep XRP as its driving asset, on its balance sheet. The shareholder approval will put one last hurdle out of the way before the listing, but closing will depend on the usual closing requirements and Nasdaq approval.

SEC Proposes New Crypto Custody Rules to Unlock Multi-Trillion Dollar Market Access

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: The SEC put forth a new plan for crypto asset custody of advisers and funds. More flexibility may be warranted under the rules via qualified custodians, state trust companies, and limited self-custody options. The proposal is for a modernization of the outdated custody rules, which affect the booming digital asset sector. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has introduced a proposal to create a clearer custody framework for crypto assets held by registered investment advisers and regulated funds. This covers a top challenge for institutions wishing to enter the crypto space: managing digital assets securely, yet in accordance with federal securities regulations. SEC Targets Crypto Custody Barriers for Advisers and Funds The proposed rules would amend the following provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and of the Investment Company Act of 1940: Custody Requirements. Existing custody rules apply primarily to the custodial safeguarding of traditional assets, and the SEC said they failed to consider the needs of blockchain-based assets. As part of the proposal, investment advisers and regulated funds would be able to offer investment strategies regarding cryptocurrencies more easily while adhering to investor protections. The proposal also would add to the venues in which crypto assets could be stored, such as select state-chartered trust companies complete with the necessary safeguards. Read More: SEC Clears Path for Tokenized Stocks With 5-Year Onchain Trading Exemption Self-Custody Could Become Available Under Conditions One significant component of the plan is the provision of the limited self custody of cryptos in certain conditions. Advisers would have had to prove that no approved custodian was available for a specific asset and re-do these tests periodically to ensure it was available. Self-custody would entail further mandates for private key security protocols, cybersecurity measures, asset separation and asset transfer approval processes. Similar conditions may apply to regulated funds that use self custody arrangements subject to the oversight of its board and compliance with safeguards. SEC Seeks Modern Rules for Digital Assets SEC Chair Paul Atkins said crypto has grown from a niche technology into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class, while regulatory frameworks have struggled to keep pace. According to the SEC, new custody rules would boost clarity for advisers and funds looking to gain exposure to digital assets. The proposal further has implications for the financial statement audit, recordkeeping and broker-dealer custody of regulated funds. The aim of the objective is to impel norms that more closely reflect marketplace practices and still temper the risk of loss, theft, misuse and misappropriation. Read More: SEC Eyes Tokenized Stocks Plan That Could Unlock Trillions in Crypto Trading Markets Crypto Regulation Expands Beyond Custody Rules The custody plan is one of a series of measures the SEC has taken to establish a framework for digital asset regulation. Guidance on tokenized securities, regulatory interpretations on crypto assets and ideas about secure investment products have been amongst the latest efforts. The SEC has additionally taken steps connected to tokenized stocks and economic facilities based on the blockchain. The land mentioned blockchain’s potential for modernizing financial markets, but further regulatory activity is needed, the agency said. The public comment period for the custody proposal will remain open for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The SEC is seeking feedback from market participants, advisers and crypto companies prior to finalizing any rules.

Blast Shuts Down After $2B Peak Fades, Urges Users to Withdraw Before Oct. 26

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Blast is shutting down its Ethereum Layer-2 network, due to unsustainable economics and operating costs outpaced by revenues. Users have been encouraged to pull their funds to Ethereum, off chain on October 26, 2026. Blast will have 24 hours withdrawal from positions involved with the unwinding of its Lido-related positions. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News The once-quirky L2 scale-out solution, Blast, is set to deceive and end up suspending operations, realizing its business model was not working. The team believed that operating the chain has become uneconomic since the revenues from any network activity have fallen short of the cost of maintaining the network. The announcement marks a dramatic turn for a project that attracted billions of dollars in deposits and quickly became one of the fastest-growing ecosystems during the peak of the Layer-2 expansion cycle. Blast will be shutting down. We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and… — Blast (@blast) October 2, 2026 Blast Begins Network Wind-Down Process The focus is now on providing a safe and orderly user and developer shutdown, the Blast team says. All users been asked to move assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet including using the Blast Progressive Web App (PWA). The network will be quickening its withdrawal process to 24 hours to make the process easier. Withdrawals, however, will not start up instantly, though. The team needs to distill Blast’s assets in Lido first. This will take about one week. Withdrawals will not be available for a short time. After Lido’s withdrawal process, regular withdrawals will be reinstated with a new 24-hour withdrawal period. The usual Blast withdrawal interface will be available for users until October 26th, 2026. Funds will be recoverable after that date, but users will have to engage directly with Blast contracts to get their funds. Read More: CoinEx Announces Permanent Shutdown After 9 Years, Withdrawals End Dec. 22 From Multi-Billion-Dollar Growth to Shutdown The ambition of Blast was to build a self-sustaining Ethereum L2 which would incentivize users with its native yield generation. Since the project’s launch, it has received a great deal of attention for granting bridging assets ahead of the mainnet launch and providing yield opportunities along with future token rewards. Blast’s strategy was a successful way to generate a significant volume of liquidity and quickly gained community interest. Airdrop-Driven Growth Could Not Sustain Activity Much of the early promotion of Blast stemmed from point programs as well as the distribution of tokens. These systems managed to bring in the capital and consumers; however, prolonging the activity became more difficult after initial hype subsided. Over the last few years, several blockchain networks have been impacted by this challenge. Networks can see significant growth during a time of incentives, but when those incentives tap out, maintaining transaction volume, developer participation, and fee balances can become more challenging. In the end, the team determined that network profit was no longer enough to sustain network expenses for Blast. But Blast’s demise also reflects the maturing industry competition of scaling solutions within Ethereum. The Layer 2 market has grown much larger and various great networks are vying with each other, attracting developers, users, and the development of applications.

$4.2B crypto bank Anchorage Digital cuts 17% of workforce: Report

COINS NEWS

The reported cuts come as Anchorage expands its institutional footprint, including stablecoin issuance and a $100 million investment from Tether.Anchorage Digital, a federally chartered US digital asset bank valued at $4.2 billion earlier this year, has reportedly cut 17% of its workforce, suggesting that the prolonged crypto market downturn is weighing on the company even as it expands its institutional footprint.Citing people familiar with the matter, The Information reported Friday that CEO Nathan McCauley informed employees of the cuts this week. Anchorage had about 400 employees globally as of February, according to McCauley’s congressional testimony at the time, meaning a 17% reduction would amount to roughly 68 jobs if its headcount remained around that level.Cointelegraph reached out to a public relations contact representing Anchorage for confirmation but did not receive an immediate response.Read more

SEC Proposes Last-Resort Crypto Self-Custody for Advisers and Funds

COINS NEWS

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed allowing investment advisers and regulated funds to self-custody crypto assets when no permitted custodian is available. The exception is designed partly for newer or less widely supported tokens, but would come with extensive operational requirements. Self-custody would be a fallback rather than a free choice. Before holding an asset itself, an adviser would have to document that no permitted custodian can provide the service. That assessment would need to be repeated every quarter. The proposal covers registered investment advisers, registered investment companies and business development companies. It remains subject to public consultation and has not yet taken effect. The comment period will run for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. Self-Custody Comes with Strict Controls In the proposal self-custody is treated as a controlled institutional process, not simply permission for an adviser to manage private keys. Firms would need suitable expertise, dedicated client addresses and safeguards preventing one person from moving assets alone. These arrangements imply annual control and cybersecurity reviews, including independent accountant reporting. Clients would receive quarterly statements, while fund boards would oversee both the decision to use self-custody and the protections applied to the assets. The SEC would also formally recognise eligible state trust companies as crypto custodians. Advisers and funds would remain responsible for checking that a provider is authorised, maintains adequate controls and keeps client assets separate from its own holdings.The custody plan follows the SEC’s August Regulation Crypto Assets proposal, which would create new fundraising exemptions for token issuers and define when a crypto asset may cease to be treated as part of an investment contract.A Shift from the 2023 Safeguarding Plan The initiative replaces the approach taken under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler. A 2023 safeguarding proposal sought to broaden qualified-custodian requirements but drew criticism because suitable custodians were unavailable for many crypto assets. The SEC withdrew that proposal in June 2025 without adopting it. The new framework retains controls around custody but adds alternatives where conventional providers cannot support a particular asset. The SEC has not established when a final rule could be adopted. Until then, the proposed self-custody route and the new treatment of state trust companies do not change the existing custody requirements.

NEAR Intents Suffers $3.8M Omni Exploit, Promises Full Compensation After Service Halt

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: NEAR Intents reported security incident resulting in a loss of approximately $3.8M. The exploit was due to a bug in its Omni deposit and withdrawal system. Several networks have been temporarily suspended and the affected funds made whole. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News The services disrupted temporarily by NEAR Intents were in relation to its cross-chain deposit and withdrawal system after identifying a security incident. The protocol said the preliminary loss stands at about $3.8 million, adding that affected funds will be reimbursed in full. Earlier today NEAR Intents services were stopped after a security incident was detected. The incident was caused by a bug in the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure interaction with NEAR Intents smart contract. The preliminary report indicates the total loss of… — NEAR Intents (@near_intents) October 1, 2026 NEAR Intents Traces Exploit to Omni Infrastructure Bug NEAR Intents reports that it was a bug trigger that occurred when the Omni deposit/withdrawal feature interacted with the NEAR Intents smart contract. The vulnerability on the contracts side has already been patched, the team said. NEAR Intents and near.com were anticipated to return to normal operations around an hour after the announcement, with some cross-chain operations requiring more time. In the initial disclosure of the protocol, the attacker was not identified. It has stated the case was reported to the police and security companies as well as blockchain analysis companies are aiding in tracking the stolen assets and determining recovery options. Read More: KelpDAO Sues LayerZero Over $292M rsETH Exploit, Turning a DeFi Feud Into Court Battle 11 Networks Face Extended Deposit and Withdrawal Restrictions Several networks will continue to have their deposits and withdrawals blocked for approximately a further 12 hours until the infrastructure is patched up. The affected networks contain the following such as: BSC, Polygon, TON, Optimism, Avalanche, Stellar, Monad, LayerX, Adi, Scroll and Plasma. Meanwhile, users with assets from such networks on NEAR Intents will be able to swap those assets for others upon the return of the core service. The restrictions place the focus on deposits/withdrawals and not on an outright halt to asset swaps. NEAR Intents Pledges Full $3.8M Compensation The protocol reads that the losses will be covered in full, the immediate financial loss to users of the game affected by the incident will be minimised to approximately $3.8 million. NEAR Intents have yet to release a full technical report on the way it was exploited and the movement of the money after it was extracted from the protocol. A detailed incident report will be expected in the next couple of days. The report will hopefully shed light on the exploitation trajectory, vulnerable parts of the Omni ecosystem, details of the timeframe and of what is being done to remediate everything. Read More: $5.87M Ethereum Exploit Hits TrustedVolumes as 1inch Denies Any Protocol Breach Exploit Follows NEAR Intents’ Role in Blocking Stolen Crypto The incident has come just after NEAR Intents was caught on the hook for blocking money traceable to the recent Bitget hack. Previously, NEAR Intents stated that it had blocked over $50 million in suspicious funds tied to that case and frozen over $500,000. The new exploit has sparked questions about the underlying cross-chain infrastructure of the protocol, mere days after it helped trace and limit the flow of stolen crypto. As of this writing, NEAR Intents has fixed the critical contract element and will work out the other issues on its infrastructure before fully opening all its supported routes for deposits and withdrawals.

Furious debate about THORChain vs NEAR shows idealism has limits

COINS NEWS

The furious debate over Bitget’s $387.7M of hacked funds comes down to whether ideals around “permissionless and decentralized” tech means never intervening — even if you could.After Bitget got hacked on Sept. 24, $387.5 million of stolen funds quickly began moving across chains, with some headed to decentralized cross chain swaps platform THORChain.Chief executive Gracy Chen publicly appealed to the platform to refuse service to attacker-linked addresses. “The industry is watching,” she said.Yet THORChain refused. And that refusal has kicked off a furious debate between those who believe protocols have a moral obligation to block stolen funds, and those hold the cypherpunk ideals of decentralized, permissionless technology sacrosanct. Having previously watched on as the Bybit hackers funneled $1.2 billion through the protocol, it’s pretty clear which side of the argument THORChain is on. Developer Boone Wheeler tells Magazine:Critics argue that THORChain wasn’t quite so idealistic when validators voted to halt the chain in May after an automated system triggered when an attacker exploited a vulnerability and drained over $10 million from one of its vaults.

Ethereum’s zkAPI brings privacy-preserving API payments to mainnet

COINS NEWS

Ethereum’s zkAPI is now live on mainnet, turning an earlier zero-knowledge API payment proposal into a working implementation for private, prepaid access.The Ethereum Foundation announced on Thursday that zkAPI, a system built with the Open Anonymity Project to let users pay for AI and other API services without revealing their billing identities, has gone live on Ethereum mainnet.Users deposit funds into an Ethereum vault, then use zero-knowledge proofs to prove they have enough credit to pay for API requests without revealing which deposits are theirs, according to a post from Vittorio Rivabella, AI coordinator at the Ethereum Foundation’s dAI team.One of the immediate use cases of the system is paying for the use of AI without linking the payment to a user. zkAPI issues short-lived API keys with predefined spending limits. Prompts are sent directly to the AI provider, while usage is settled separately through the payment layer. The project has also released a local client and software development kit, along with a browser-based AI chat implementation.Read more

Bitcoin Posts Best Quarter Since 2024 as ETF Inflows Reach $6.34 Billion

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin ended the third quarter with its strongest quarterly performance since the final three months of 2024, as renewed demand for US spot exchange-traded funds helped it recover from its yearly low. The cryptocurrency gained nearly 43%, rising from $58,562 at the start of July to $83,621 by the end of September, according to CoinMarketCap.Despite the rebound, it remained 33.7% below its all-time high of $126,198, reached on October 6, 2025. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reflected the shift in sentiment, climbing from mostly “fear” readings in July to around 74 by the end of September, within the “greed” range.ETF Flows Reverse Second-Quarter Withdrawals US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $6.34 billion in net inflows during the third quarter, reversing nearly $5 billion in outflows from the previous three months. The recovery accelerated as the quarter progressed. The funds attracted $172 million in July, $3.52 billion in August and $2.65 billion in September. Their largest daily inflow in August came on August 20, when the products added $606.3 million.That period also brought a wave of liquidations in bearish leveraged positions. Short sellers were forced to buy Bitcoin to close their trades, adding to the upward move as the cryptocurrency gained more than $10,000 over several days. ETF flows, however, do not provide a clean measure of directional institutional demand.CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill noted in the interview for Cointelegraph that some professional investors use BlackRock’s IBIT for basis trades, buying the ETF while shorting Bitcoin futures to capture the difference between spot and futures prices. Corporate purchases provided another source of demand. Strategy resumed accumulating Bitcoin after a ten-week pause, purchasing 4,603 BTC for $369.7 million in late August. Two subsequent acquisitions brought its holdings to 847,666 BTC by September 27. The next test is whether sustained spot and ETF demand can replace the temporary buying created by short liquidations. “Aside from external macro numbers, I want to see sustained spot and ETF flows,” Nansen Senior Research Analyst Nicolai Sondergaard told Coindesk.Treasury Yields Remain a Fourth-Quarter Constraint The rally also followed the US Treasury’s decision to increase buybacks of longer-dated government debt, which pushed yields and the dollar lower in August. Conditions subsequently tightened after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and the ten-year Treasury yield climbed above 5%. Softer August inflation data later reduced expectations of another increase in October. Nevertheless, elevated nominal and real yields remain a headwind by increasing the return available from lower-risk assets. Near-term indicators are less uniformly bullish. Bitcoin remains in a bull market but is “showing signs of fatigue,” CryptoQuant Head of Research Julio Moreno wrote in a report cited by The Block. He placed initial support near the 365-day moving average at $80,000. Other analysts identified $80,000–$82,000 as the main support area and $87,000–$88,000 as immediate resistance. Deribit data showed mixed short-term positioning, with traders alternating between demand for downside protection and exposure to a possible October rally.Citi takes a more bullish view over a longer horizon. The bank raised its 12-month Bitcoin target from $82,000 to $113,000, citing renewed ETF demand, stronger crypto-market activity and a more supportive macroeconomic outlook. Its forecast assumes that investment flows continue at a slower but steadier pace.The fourth-quarter outlook will depend on whether sustained ETF and spot demand can offset higher yields once the short-covering impulse fades.

Michael Saylor Eyes $160B Bitcoin Credit Opportunity Beyond Strategy and Strive

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Michael Saylor says Bitcoin issuers can scale hand-in-hand but not compete. From its mere 0.1% of the world’s major markets, it is his estimation that this represents a $160 billion opportunity. Strategy and Strive is developing separate products with the same base of Bitcoin capital. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Bitcoin treasury companies don’t have to bicker with one another as a form of direct zero-sum game, according to Michael Saylor. In a recent post, the Strategy executive chairman argued that firms such as Strategy and Strive can attract different investors while helping expand the broader market for Bitcoin-linked capital, credit and equity products. https://t.co/F6p7yp18nu — Michael Saylor (@saylor) September 30, 2026 Saylor Sees a $160B Opportunity Outside Crypto Saylor begins his discussion with the dimensions of traditional capital markets. Global equity market capitalization reached about $157.8 trillion at the end of 2025, while global fixed-income debt stood at roughly $160.7 trillion. A 0.1% allocation from both markets would vary from about $160 billion, the amount Saylor demonstrated was still a tiny portion of the traditional finance treasury when compared to Bitcoin. According to his plan, Bitcoin is Digital Capital, preferred securities like STRC, SATA are Digital Credit, and MSTR, ASST are Digital Equity. Decisions vary among these groups based on investors’ goals ranging from equity exposure to income to capital appreciation. Read More: Michael Saylor Sparks Fresh Bitcoin Buy Buzz as Strategy Nears $62B BTC Stockpile Bitcoin Connects Strategy and Strive Both Strategy and Strive issue their own securities and make their own financing choices; however, Bitcoin is a central balance-sheet asset. If one company raises capital and purchases Bitcoin, then a stronger demand for Bitcoin can benefit other companies which own BTC indirectly, Saylor suggests. But that’s not all that it takes to drive Bitcoin up. However, price continues to be influenced by the global market demand. Even if they are rivals seeking investors’ dollars, he argues, treasury companies are aligned through exposure to the same underlying asset. More Digital Credit Issuers Could Expand the Market Saylor also thinks that there’s room for other, reliable credit issues to get up and clarify the investment of credit products backed by Bitcoin. The more security, the more of its trading history, its research coverage and degree of institutional familiarity. As investors reach a higher comfort level in assessing products like STRC and SATA, over time they could settle for lower risk premiums. That might make financing more favorable for those with decent balance sheets and management. Saylor reaffirmed that no Bitcoin per se tests out offering any coupon income. There is no risk-reward alignment in Bitcoin’s long-term performance and financing costs, only execution and market conditions and capital management.

In March 2026, one Bitcoin-focused company Strive made a $50 million investment to buy STRC from strategy, which was the issuer’s credit product. Saylor sees this kind of overlap as proof that Bitcoin treasury companies can exist in the same eco-system as competition and customers. His broader thesis is that Digital Capital, Digital Credit and Digital Equity can reinforce one another by bringing more investors, liquidity and financial products into the Bitcoin market.

Illinois will postpone implementation of crypto tax following lawsuit

COINS NEWS

State officials agreed to delay the 0.2% crypto tax for six months after lawsuits and industry pushback claimed the bill was rushed through the legislature.Crypto advocacy organizations behind a lawsuit opposing Illinois’ Digital Asset Tax reported that state officials agreed to delay implementation by six months.In a Thursday filing in the circuit court of Sangamon County, Illinois, the crypto and blockchain advocacy group Digital Chamber said that Illinois would postpone a 0.2% tax on digital assets from Jan. 1 to July 1, 2027. The organization sued Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and the Department of Revenue official David Harris in July, claiming the tax had been “slipped into the state’s budget” without debate or public feedback.“The Parties stipulate that continuing the Tax’s effective date from January 1, 2027 until July 1, 2027 will permit orderly briefing and adjudication of the underlying legal questions without prejudicing any Party’s rights, claims, or defenses on the merits,” the filing said.Read more

MetaMask Exits Ethereum Validators After Security Incident Hits Staking Infrastructure

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: MetaMask is addressing a security incident to its infrastructure of which it is unaware. According to the company, there is presently no risk to the MetaMask wallets. As a precaution, Ethereum validators affected are in the process of being exited. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News MetaMask has announced that it has started rolling out the removal of impacted Ethereum validators due to a security incident impacting part of its infrastructure. Security Update: We are responding to a security incident affecting part of our infrastructure. At this time, we have identified no immediate threat to MetaMask wallets. As a precaution, we are proactively exiting affected validators within our non-custodial staking operations,… — MetaMask ???? (@MetaMask) September 30, 2026 The wallet provider said the problem is under investigation and will be fixed through relationship work done in collaboration with outside service providers and security advisors, and emphasized that users are not immediately at risk for MetaMask wallets. MetaMask Takes Validators Offline After Security Incident MetaMask has yet to reveal the nature, cause or extent of the event. The issue is impacting some of its infrastructure and the company is working to contain and address the issue internally, it said. To safeguard itself, MetaMask is scaling down its validators of its non-custodial staking service. The change should help lower possible risk of exposure until the investigation concludes but so far, the company hasn’t said that any funds or wallet users are being compromised. MetaMask’s model is also non-custodial, which it noted. Withdrawal keys for the assets they stake are not managed by the company. Read More: MetaMask Splits From Consensys as 100M-Download Wallet Targets Open Money Wallet Users Face No Immediate Threat MetaMask specifically separated the infrastructure incident from its wallet product. There is a significant distinction, however, in that the company did not detect any apparent immediate issue with wallets in their use of MetaMask it says, which is important because of the number of people using wallets and the position of the wallet in the Ethereum ecosystem. The company hasn’t made any user movements, wallet or other emergency measure requirements. MetaMask stated it will monitor the situation and share more additional information if appropriate. Lido Validators Enter Exit Process MetaMask Staking validators also saw the impact from the security measures taken by the Lido protocol. MetaMask began proactively taking measures with its operated validators regarding Ethereum, such as initiating withdrawals, said Lido. Lido provided timeline updates on other affected validators, stating that the final affected validators will exit by October 7, 2021. ETH that is taken off the affected validators is not presumed to be immediately returned to the protocol, but a phase where it is slowly made available to the network is assumed. Ethereum Re-Entry Could Take Up to 45 Days Once they have withdrawn, the funds then have to pass through the Ethereum process of validators entering, and their funds being withdrawn. Since the current validator entry queue, Lido hopes up to 45 days for the full withdrawal and re-entry process. This does not mean the report of a lost ETH has been made. Rather, it represents the dynamics of withdrawing validators from the Ethereum protocol to withdraw later on the validators. MetaMask has so far resolved to view the validator exits as a precautionary security feature, not a security flaw affecting the user’s wallets or their ability to withdraw funds.

Base Cobalt Goes Live With Conditional Trades and New B20 Controls for Tokenized Assets

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: The newest Cobalt upgrade by Base has been activated on the mainnet. Traders can send orders which will only be filled when certain criteria are fulfilled. B20 new compliance tools, corporate-action and asset-control tools. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Base has launched its third major network upgrade, Cobalt, which provides increased control over transaction execution, as well as additional growth opportunities for the B20 token standard in onchain asset issuance. The upgrade addresses two aspects: the new advanced trade functionality via validity transactions, and enhanced support for Foundation’s tokenized finance assets. Base Adds Conditional Transactions for Advanced Traders Cobalt introduces Validity Transactions, allowing users to sign and submit a transaction before its execution conditions are satisfied. Instead of repeatedly monitoring the market and resubmitting orders, a trader can specify conditions such as an asset price threshold and a block-number deadline. Base then checks what their requirements are as new blocks come in. The transaction is eligible for inclusion once all of the conditions have been met. A trader, for instance, can place a swap that only takes place when a token sees 4,000 USDC before a particular block. In the case of the price condition not being met before the deadline, no transaction will be added. Users must still select the transaction and define both the conditions and the transaction. They do not trade on Base. Read More: Coinbase Targets $24/5 Stock Perps in First U.S. Push for Single-Stock Crypto Futures Transactions Can Stay Private Until Inclusion Validity Transactions can also be kept private until they get to the onchain. This enables the sophisticated traders to have more control on when they want to expose their orders and will lessen the need for continuously polling blockchain state. It will now be provided via Base’s new Transaction API and will be suitable for strategies that rely on particular timings or onchain conditions. B20 Gets New Controls for Tokenized Assets Cobalt also launches B20, a native token standard for stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets and fungible assets. One new feature, Composite Policies, enables issuers to create AND and OR combinations based on various compliance rules. For instance, a tokenized fund may need a recipient to complete KYC and accreditation requirements and may use separate providers to perform sanctions screening. Also new on Cobalt are scheduled multiplier changes. Issuers can program changes used for corporate actions such as stock splits without minting or burning tokens or changing the underlying raw balance. An additional feature is seizeWithMemo, which allows for transferring balances with seizure functionality since it is enabled for a token. Can be an onchain note that explains what action is being taken as part of the transfer. This does not cause a Base to move into itself. Whether the function is enabled and who can use it will be determined by the issuer. Base Targets 200ms Blocks in Upcoming Upgrades Cobalt is within a longer technological path regarding trading, financing, and payments through tokens. Base will target even shorter block times (200 milliseconds) and reassert its current guarantees on organization. The network will also be supporting protocol-level smart accounts and gas sponsorship and transaction batching, among other EVM enhancements. For asset issuers, traders and developers, the Cobalt is moving Base closer towards an infrastructure that supports programmable financial products instead of just token transfers.

Bloomberg Launches $300B Stablecoin Dashboard With Hourly Onchain Data on Terminal

COINS NEWS

Key Takeaways: Allium has now provided Bloomberg Terminal with hourly stablecoin data. The dashboard includes over 98% of the stablecoin market. Users can follow the movement of supply and mints, burns and transfers and the activity on the different blockchains. User Score8.7 Follow us on Google News Bloomberg is releasing a new stablecoin dashboard on the Bloomberg Terminal, making it possible to bring onchain market data right into the workflow of institutional investors. It’s driven by blockchain data provider Allium and is backed by a stablecoin supply of over $300 billion. Bloomberg Terminal Adds Stablecoin Market Tracking The new dashboard will be offered via RWAS and morphs stablecoin analytics with BWFX’s current fixed-income, foreign exchange and money-market offerings. It includes all stablecoin that have a circulation above $100 million which is more than 98% of the total market. Bloomberg also offers selected smaller assets, and stablecoins that are based on other currencies or commodities than the U.S. dollar. Users can use circular supply, token issuance, burns, transfer volume and velocity to compare the assets. Current information will be updated once an hour and historical information will be updated a day-fresh. Read More: South Korea Targets 2027 Tokenized Securities Launch with Stablecoin Settlement Vision Users Can Break Down Activity by Blockchain The dashboard provides more insight into the performance of select stablecoins on various blockchains. Users can also quickly switch between an asset-level and blockchain-level view, to help them understand where the issuance and transfers are happening. The assets can also be sorted by peg, such as the fiat currencies, commodities or any other stablecoins. This allows investors to have a solid understanding of the liquidity of the stablecoins in question rather than crossing multiple blockchain explorers and analytics sites. Stablecoin Supply Tops $300B Stablecoins have emerged as a key component of the crypto market infrastructure, having a circulatory supply of over $300 billion. Now they are not just involved in crypto trading. Stablecoins are gaining traction as a means of settlement, for cross-border payments, and to transfer cash in tokenized financial systems. They also now closely follow traditional markets, as large issuers have substantial quantities of short-dated U.S. government paper as their reserve assets. Bloomberg’s new product puts that activity on a platform utilized by banks, asset management companies and institutional trading desks. Read More: Coinbase and Spiko Unlock 24/7 Stablecoin Access to Europe’s Regulated UCITS Funds Bloomberg Expands Its Onchain Data Push The stablecoin dashboard expands upon Bloomberg’s long-standing crypto expansion efforts. Since 2014, Bitcoin pricing has been available at the Terminal, and Bloomberg now offers pricing, benchmarks and identifiers and reference data for over 50 institutional-relevant cryptocurrencies. The firm has also created a portfolio level measure of direct and indirect crypto exposure. Its collaboration with Allium pushes that strategy further by adding blockchain-native transaction data to the same environment institutions already use for traditional markets. More recently though, Bloomberg has been pushing its oar into the tokenized-market space with other data partnerships, as part of a generica push for DeFi and traditional-capital market insights to combine in a single institutional workflow.

LATAM stablecoin liquidity may depend on few providers, investor says

COINS NEWS

Researchers in a Latin American stablecoin ecosystem report warned “fragility in the system is concentrated in its thinnest layer,” with just 16 of 494 companies focused primarily on wholesale liquidity, treasury and credit.Latin America’s stablecoin payment ecosystem may depend on a small group of underlying liquidity providers, potentially disrupting customers’ ability to cash out into local currency if a key provider loses banking access, according to Verda Ventures partner Amit Chu.In a newly published report from crypto venture companies Varys Capital and Verda Ventures, drawing on Verda’s Stablescape database, researchers analyzed 494 companies in the region, but found only 16 whose primary business is providing wholesale stablecoin-to-fiat liquidity, corporate treasury and credit, warning that “fragility in the system is concentrated in its thinnest layer.”“There are many sellers of liquidity and very few specialists. What we can’t see from public data is how many of them warehouse the currency risk themselves and how many pass it to the same few desks and exchanges. Our view is that it’s the second, and that’s the fragility the report is pointing at,” Chu told Cointelegraph.& Read more
