Cryptocurrency analyst Timothy Peterson, in his latest assessment, has made a prediction for a record high price for Bitcoin.
Crypto analyst Timothy Peterson suggests that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) could reach an all-time high (ATH) within the next 90 days, while also sharing a notable price target for a potential short-term decline.
Peterson argued that a new record might be imminent by examining Bitcoin’s past price movements. According to the analyst, in past cycles, whenever Bitcoin recovered from a point where it was 50 percent below its all-time high and rose to 30 percent below the peak, it invariably recorded a new ATH.
Peterson noted that in all of the historical examples in question, Bitcoin hit a new record high within 75 days at the latest, with a median of only 24 days. Arguing that this statistic holds true under different macroeconomic conditions, the analyst stated that in past examples, Bitcoin reached new highs directly without retracing to a new cycle bottom.
Peterson stated that the critical threshold for Bitcoin is around $88,000, predicting that the price could surpass this level later in October. According to the analyst, breaking above this level would signal that a new all-time high is imminent.
On the other hand, Peterson also answered a question regarding how low Bitcoin could fall in its current correction.
When a user asked if Bitcoin would drop to the mid-$70,000 level before returning to an uptrend, Peterson indicated $77,000 as a possible bottom.

Kripto para piyasasında Bitcoin‘in (BTC) geleceğine ilişkin dikkat çekici bir değerlendirme geldi. Dijital varlık yönetim şirketi CoinShares, Bitcoin fiyatının önümüzdeki dönemde yalnızca ABD Merkez Bankası’nın (FED) faiz kararlarından değil, ABD Hazine tahvil piyasasındaki gelişmelerden de önemli ölçüde etkilenebileceğini açıkladı. Özellikle uzun vadeli tahvil getirilerindeki yükseliş, Bitcoin üzerindeki baskıyı artırırken yatırımcıların gözünü ABD ekonomisindeki gelişmelere çevirdi.
CoinShares Açıkladı: Bitcoin Fiyatını Ne Belirleyecek? CoinShares tarafından yayımlanan değerlendirmeye göre Bitcoin’in fiyat hareketleri ile ABD Hazine tahvillerinin getirileri arasındaki ilişki giderek daha fazla önem kazanıyor. Şirket, özellikle uzun vadeli tahvil piyasasında yaşanan değişimlerin Bitcoin yatırımcılarının kararları üzerinde belirleyici olabileceğine dikkat çekiyor. Raporda yer alan verilere göre ABD’nin 10 yıllık Hazine tahvil getirisi yüzde 5,3 seviyesini aşarken, 30 yıllık tahvil getirisi yüzde 5,7’nin üzerine yükseldi. Bu oranlar, uzun vadeli tahvil getirilerinin son yirmi yılı aşkın dönemin en yüksek seviyelerine yaklaştığına işaret ediyor.
CoinShares Araştırma Başkanı James Butterfill, ABD Hazine tahvil getirilerindeki yükselişin nedenlerinin Bitcoin’in gelecekteki performansı açısından kritik önem taşıdığını belirtti. Butterfill’e göre tahvil getirilerindeki artış güçlü ekonomik büyüme beklentilerinden kaynaklanıyorsa Bitcoin üzerindeki baskı devam edebilir. Ancak yükselişin arkasında ABD’nin artan kamu borcu ve mali sürdürülebilirliğine yönelik endişeler bulunuyorsa farklı bir senaryo ortaya çıkabilir. Bu durumda bazı yatırımcılar, geleneksel finansal sistemdeki risklere karşı Bitcoin’i alternatif bir varlık olarak değerlendirmeye başlayabilir. Özellikle ABD’nin borç yüküne ilişkin kaygıların güçlenmesi, Bitcoin’in uzun vadeli yatırım aracı olarak yeniden gündeme gelmesine katkı sağlayabilir.
Bitcoin Fonlarına 11,1 Milyar Dolarlık Giriş CoinShares’in paylaştığı verilere göre kripto para yatırım ürünlerine temmuz ayının ortalarından itibaren yaklaşık 11,1 milyar dolarlık net sermaye girişi gerçekleşti. Bu gelişme, söz konusu dönemde dijital varlık yatırım ürünlerine yönelik güçlü talebin oluştuğunu gösteriyor. Ancak şirket, son haftalık verilerde fon girişlerinin belirgin şekilde yavaşladığına dikkat çekti. Yatırımcıların daha temkinli hareket etmeye başlaması, kripto para piyasasındaki kısa vadeli belirsizliğin devam edebileceğine işaret ediyor. Özellikle Bitcoin yatırım ürünlerine yönelik sermaye akışları, kurumsal yatırımcıların piyasaya bakışını değerlendirmek açısından önemli göstergeler arasında bulunuyor. Fon girişlerinin yeniden hızlanması talep açısından olumlu bir gelişme olarak değerlendirilebilirken, çıkışların artması satış baskısını güçlendirebilir.
Bitcoin Yükselecek mi? Gözler FED ve ABD Tahvil Piyasasında Bitcoin’in önümüzdeki dönemdeki fiyat hareketlerinde FED’in para politikası kararlarının yanı sıra ABD Hazine tahvil getirileri ve kurumsal fon akışları da yakından takip edilecek. CoinShares’in değerlendirmesi, yükselen tahvil getirilerinin Bitcoin için her zaman aynı sonucu doğurmayabileceğini ortaya koyuyor. Özellikle getirilerdeki artışın ekonomik büyümeden mi yoksa ABD’nin mali görünümüne ilişkin endişelerden mi kaynaklandığı, yatırımcıların Bitcoin’e yaklaşımını değiştirebilir.

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg sees an opportunity in Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and other alternative assets even as he warns that 10-year U.S. Treasury yields could reach 8% within four years. His argument: rising borrowing costs could pressure debt-dependent companies and long-duration bonds, encouraging investors to seek alternatives — including cryptocurrency.
"The alternatives are TIPS, well-capitalized companies, commodities, and crypto (which do not issue debt)," McClurg said in an interview with Benzinga.
In his investment thesis, McClurg argues that persistent government borrowing, defense spending and the capital-intensive AI build-out could sustain upward pressure on long-term yields.
Why McClurg Is Watching BitcoinHigher interest rates can weigh on companies that rely on borrowing to fund operations and expansion. Meanwhile, rising yields can hurt existing bond prices, particularly those of longer-duration securities.
McClurg believes investors could look beyond these traditional investments toward assets that do not carry the same debt obligations.
His Bitcoin thesis also rests on global liquidity rather than a simple comparison with equities.
"Bitcoin has time periods correlated to equities, but most time periods are not. The greater correlation is to Global M2 money supply, which is currently growing at a 7% clip, and could grow more if central banks have to print their way out of debt," he said.
That distinction matters because higher interest rates do not automatically benefit Bitcoin. If tighter financial conditions strengthen the dollar, raise real yields or reduce investors’ appetite for risk, cryptocurrency prices could come under pressure even as government debt expands.
Bitcoin ETFs Offer a Regulated Investment RouteInvestors looking for exchange-traded exposure to Bitcoin could examine the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:FBTC). Both seek to track Bitcoin’s price, allowing investors to gain exposure through brokerage accounts without directly managing cryptocurrency custody, and both carry a 0.25% sponsor fee.
Asked wthether he would rather own Bitcoin directly through a spot ETF or does he see a stronger opportunity elsewhere in the digital-asset ecosystem, if his higher-rate scenario plays out, he said that he prefers ETFs.
"ETFs generally charge no fees to trade with a $.01-.02 spread (2-4bps)," he said, contrasting them with exchange trading fees that he said could reach 40–150 basis points at Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN). Actual costs vary by platform, transaction size and market conditions, and ETF investors still pay fund expenses and bid-ask spreads.
The Liquidity QuestionMcClurg’s outlook ultimately depends partly on how global money supply evolves. If central banks expand liquidity to manage mounting debt burdens, Bitcoin could benefit under his thesis. But that outcome is not guaranteed, and Bitcoin remains a volatile asset rather than a dependable hedge against rising rates.
For ETF investors, the key question is whether expanding global liquidity can support Bitcoin even as higher Treasury yields make conventional income-producing investments more attractive.
Papertrade, a fully on-chain perpetual futures exchange built on HyperEVM, went live on October 10, 2026. Bitcoin futures open interest on the platform climbed to $3 billion shortly after launch.
A fast start, measured in notional dollars Trading opened at 10 a.m. ET, or 14:00 UTC. In under 10 minutes, the exchange had recorded $14.4 billion in notional trading volume.
Ether futures open interest reached $2.66 billion, trailing Bitcoin’s $3 billion. Activity was concentrated almost entirely in those two markets.
Open interest is the total value of positions still open at a given moment. Volume counts every trade, including positions opened and closed seconds later. Both figures are notional, meaning they reflect the full size of leveraged bets rather than the cash traders actually posted.
That distinction matters a lot here. Papertrade offers leverage of up to 1,000x on its synthetic perpetual contracts.
At 1,000x, a trader can control $1,000 of exposure with $1 of margin. So billions in notional activity can rest on a far smaller pool of real deposits.
Before launch, the exchange collected pre-deposits estimated at approximately $85 million to $138 million. That money came from more than 11,000 addresses.
How the machine is built Papertrade does not use a traditional orderbook. Positions open and close atomically, in a single step, rather than being matched against resting orders from other traders.
Prices are pulled from the midpoint of Hyperliquid’s best bid and offer. The design aims to avoid slippage and conventional trading fees.
To handle expected launch-day congestion, initial trades were routed through Papertrade’s own frontend. Whitelisted relayers supported that flow.
Risk limits are built in. Each market side carries $1 billion in open-interest headroom, and individual positions are capped at $10 million in atomic size.
The house starts with nothing The most unusual feature sits on the other side of every trade. Papertrade’s house liquidity pool began empty.
That pool is meant to grow as traders lose money. Losing positions feed the house, and the house pays out winners.
The model therefore leans on trader losses or delayed settlement to fund payouts. Combined trader balances and house liquidity are not all available to pay winning trades.
The exchange also carries a profit haircut, or asymmetric profit-and-loss fee, inherited from earlier trading models. In plain terms, winners may not walk away with their full gross gain.
A token minted from losses Papertrade’s native token, PAPER, launched with no initial supply. It comes into existence only when traders realize losses.
While the liquidity pool holds less than $2 million, the protocol mints 100 PAPER for every $1 lost. That rate declines as the pool grows.
Transfers are restricted. Initially, PAPER can only be moved for staking.
What this means for traders and rival venues Papertrade runs on HyperEVM and prices off Hyperliquid, so it is effectively layering a new risk model on top of an existing market’s price discovery. Pricing is only as reliable as the reference market, and any disruption on Hyperliquid’s side could flow straight into Papertrade’s contracts.
The house liquidity pool starts at zero and is fine when traders lose on aggregate. A sharp, one-directional move in Bitcoin or Ether could flip that, with payouts depending on delayed settlement and the haircut mechanics.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) overall volatility has declined sharply in 2026, yet significant extreme price movements have occurred more often than during the full 2018 bear market.
At the same time, Bitunix analysts have highlighted $82,800 as a critical technical level while US spot Bitcoin ETF demand softens, following an earlier price drop that briefly tested near $80,000 as long liquidations topped $1 billion.
Market analysis indicates that Bitcoin recorded 10 trading days in 2026 through early October in which its price moved at least three standard deviations from its recent pattern, measured against the preceding 30-day realized volatility.
That count surpasses the eight such “3-sigma” days registered across all of 2018, a period when Bitcoin lost roughly 73 percent of its value.
Annualized realized volatility has fallen to about 46 percent year-to-date from 84 percent in 2018.
The average size of these extreme moves has also decreased, to roughly 7 percent from approximately 10 percent eight years earlier.
In relative terms, Bitcoin is experiencing more unusually large swings compared with its quieter recent baseline, even though the absolute magnitude of those swings is smaller.
Comparisons with other assets reinforce the pattern. Since 2024, Bitcoin’s annualized volatility has been roughly comparable to Nvidia’s at about 47 percent, yet Bitcoin has logged 26 three-sigma days over that interval versus eight for Nvidia, 16 for the S&P 500, and 12 for gold.
In a normal distribution, about 99.7 percent of observations fall within three standard deviations, making these events statistically rare; a higher frequency therefore signals that the asset remains susceptible to sudden jolts even as average volatility cools.
Standard risk models that rely primarily on recent lower volatility readings may understate tail risk.
Bitcoin continues to exhibit periods of relative calm interrupted by abrupt re-pricing, despite greater institutional participation, the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs, and deeper market liquidity that have dampened ordinary daily fluctuations.
Macroeconomic shocks and crowded positioning in derivatives markets continue to trigger sudden jumps or drops.
This volatility behavior coincides with a more moderate cycle drawdown than in earlier periods.
Bitcoin reached an all-time high near $126,200 in October 2025 before declining toward lows near $58,000 by mid-2026, representing a drop of approximately 53–54 percent.
Previous cycles often produced peak-to-trough declines of 70–82 percent.
By early October 2026, the price was trading in the mid-$80,000 range, about 32 percent below the prior year’s peak.
The post-ETF environment has been associated with more staircase-style price action, featuring gradual advances interrupted by concentrated corrections rather than prolonged cascading liquidations.
The latest correction underscored remaining sensitivity to leverage and external factors.
Bitcoin retreated from a peak near $86,995 on October 5, falling approximately 2.6 percent on October 7 and another 1.9 percent on October 8, and touched an intraday low around $80,400–$80,434.
Over a 24-hour window, cryptocurrency derivatives liquidations exceeded $1.1 billion according to CoinGlass data, with long positions accounting for the large majority (roughly $1.05 billion in reported figures).
Bitcoin-specific long liquidations were near $220 million against substantially smaller short liquidations.
Open interest in Bitcoin futures declined from a recent peak near $28.2 billion.
The move occurred against a backdrop of elevated oil prices, rising Treasury yields, and Federal Reserve minutes that left open the possibility of further policy tightening.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $484.9 million on October 7 and $244.1 million on October 8, totaling $729 million over the two sessions and reversing an inflow of $118.8 million on October 6, according to Farside Investors data.
Bitunix analysts have identified $82,800 as the first key level Bitcoin needs to reclaim in order to regain upward momentum.
Following a rebound toward $82,500 from the recent low near $80,434, the recovery remained unconfirmed while the price traded below that threshold.
A sustained move above $82,800, supported by healthier derivatives positioning and easing ETF outflows, could open the way toward the $85,000–$87,000 region.
Failure to hold the level and a break beneath the recent low near $80,400 would shift focus to the $79,700–$77,000 demand zone, with deeper support potentially in the $70,500–$72,900 area if selling pressure intensifies.
Heavy liquidations by themselves do not confirm a market bottom; price stabilization and renewed spot demand offer stronger confirmation.
Positioning among larger accounts remains mixed, with some groups holding substantially more short exposure and others leaning long, though such data can reflect hedges rather than directional views alone.
For longer-term investors, the combination of lower average volatility and shallower historical drawdowns has made Bitcoin easier to incorporate into diversified portfolios.
For active traders using leverage, however, the quieter day-to-day environment can encourage larger positions that remain vulnerable to the more frequent extreme moves. Whether ETF flows stabilize and whether the $82,800 level is reclaimed will help determine whether the recent decline was a temporary pause or the beginning of a deeper test of lower support zones.
In brief Meanwhile, which calls itself the first life insurer licensed to operate entirely in Bitcoin, raised $37.5 million from existing investors led by Bain Capital Crypto, bringing its total raised to over $180 million. The round follows a record year fueled by its BTC Life 1-Pay single-premium policy for high-net-worth clients abroad. The company is backed by Sam Altman and licensed in Bermuda since 2024. Meanwhile, a life insurance company that operates entirely in Bitcoin, has raised $37.5 million as demand for its unusual policies climbs among wealthy families overseas.
The Bermuda-based insurer said Thursday the funding came from existing investors, led by Bain Capital Crypto, with participation from Haun Ventures, Framework Ventures, Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Morgan Creek Digital.
Myriad: How high will Bitcoin go? Click to make your prediction.Meanwhile, whose backers also include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has now raised more than $180 million in total.
The company bills itself as the first life insurer licensed to run entirely on Bitcoin, with its balance sheet, reserves, and audited financials all denominated in the cryptocurrency. It said it received the first license of its kind from the Bermuda Monetary Authority in July 2024 after two years in the regulator’s sandbox, and holds all policyholder Bitcoin with regulated institutional custodians.
The raise follows what Meanwhile called a record year, driven by international demand. In early 2026 it launched BTC Life 1-Pay, a single-premium whole life policy aimed at high-net-worth clients outside the U.S., its second product after a 10-payment version built for American taxpayers.
Under the single-premium policy, a client pays once in Bitcoin and receives a guaranteed death benefit in Bitcoin for life, with the policy’s value growing in Bitcoin and the owner able to borrow up to 90% of it after the first year with no repayment schedule or margin calls.
Meanwhile said it has signed 15 brokers since launch, including in insurance hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE and Switzerland, and that its net long-term underwriting income has already surpassed last year’s total.
“Wealthy families around the world already hold Bitcoin. What they haven’t had is a regulated way to pass it on,” said Zac Townsend, Meanwhile’s co-founder and CEO.
The funding reflects a broader push to weave Bitcoin into traditional financial products. Delaware Life teamed up with BlackRock last year to offer Bitcoin exposure through a fixed indexed annuity, a sign that insurers are increasingly looking to pair the volatile asset with long-term planning vehicles.

Papertrade has recorded a nominal trading volume exceeding $80 billion, with users incurring a cumulative loss of $4.73 million while attempting to farm PAPER tokens.
According to official website data, Papertrade recorded over $80 billion in cumulative notional trading volume within its first hour of launch. BlockBeats analyzed that the platform’s early trading frenzy may be tied to its unique mechanism. Per its official documentation, the issuance model of Papertrade’s native token PAPER works as follows: for every $1 a platform user loses, the protocol mints a certain amount of PAPER on a curve. When the protocol’s LP balance is below $2 million, the minting rate is fixed at 100 PAPER per $1 in losses; now that the LP pool size exceeds $2 million, PAPER token emissions have entered a decay phase. Likely driven by the above-mentioned "trading losses for tokens" mechanism, data shows that users on the platform have accumulated $4.73 million in total trading losses. Papertrade is a fully on-chain synthetic perpetual trading platform deployed on HyperEVM, which pulls prices from the BBO mid-price of Hyperliquid’s order book. Users trade directly against the protocol’s LP as counterparty, rather than via traditional order book matching. The protocol’s key selling points include high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding fees.

Hedge funds’ net exposure to the US Magnificent Seven climbed to 22%, marking a new record high.
According to Goldman Sachs data, investor bullish sentiment toward large-cap tech stocks has reached an all-time high. Hedge funds’ total net exposure to the U.S. Magnificent 7 tech stocks has risen to 22%, a record high. This figure has surged by 7 percentage points since July, marking the largest three-month increase since 2023, and breaking the previous peak of 21% set in June 2024 (compared to just 8% during the 2022 bear market low). Meanwhile, hedge funds’ total net exposure to U.S. semiconductor stocks has climbed to 12%, only slightly below the 14% peak reached in June 2026, while this metric stood at just 2% at the start of 2025. Current market demand for tech stocks is extremely strong. (The Kobeissi Letter)

Just half an hour after Papertrade’s launch, PAPER token emissions entered decay mode.
According to official data, Papertrade recorded a cumulative trading volume of $39.9 billion in its first 30 minutes post-launch. The platform’s contract open interest also dropped sharply, with Bitcoin and Ethereum contract positions standing at $1.27 billion and $890 million respectively. The initial trading boom may be linked to its project mechanism: per official documentation, PaperTrade’s native token PAPER is minted via a model where the protocol mints a set amount of PAPER on a curve for every $1 a platform user loses. When the LP balance is below $2 million, the minting ratio is fixed at 100 PAPER per $1 of losses; once the LP scale exceeded $2 million, PAPER token emissions entered a decay phase. Papertrade is a fully on-chain synthetic perpetual trading platform built on HyperEVM, which pulls prices from the Best Bid Offer (BBO) mid-price of the Hyperliquid order book. Users trade directly against the protocol’s liquidity provider (LP) as counterparty, rather than through traditional order book matching. The protocol’s key features include high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding fees.
Bitcoin fiyatı, artan satış baskısının etkisiyle 82.000 dolar seviyelerine gerilerken piyasanın yönüne ilişkin belirsizlikler de büyüyor. Fidelity Digital Assets araştırma başkan yardımcısı Chris Kuiper, son yükselişin yeni bir boğa piyasasını başlattığının henüz kesinleşmediğini belirtiyor. LD Capital kurucusu Jack Yi ise düşüşün sürmesi halinde 79.000 ve 75.000 dolar seviyelerinin gündeme gelebileceğine dikkat çekiyor.
Fidelity’ye Göre Ayı Piyasası Henüz Sona Ermedi Mi? Fidelity Digital Assets yöneticilerinden Chris Kuiper, ağustos ayından itibaren görülen yükselişin kalıcı bir yükseliş trendine dönüştüğünü söylemek için erken olduğunu düşünüyor. Ona göre fiyatlardaki toparlanma, daha geniş bir ayı piyasası içinde gerçekleşen geçici bir karşı trend hareketi olabilir. Bu nedenle Bitcoin’in yükselmiş olması, düşüş döneminin kesin olarak sona erdiğini göstermiyor.
Kuiper’in değerlendirmesinde Bitcoin’in geçmişte izlediği yaklaşık dört yıllık piyasa döngüsü önemli yer tutuyor. Önceki döngülerde boğa piyasalarının zirveleri ve ayı piyasalarının dipleri kabaca dört yıllık aralıklarla ortaya çıktı. Bitcoin’in son önemli dip seviyesini Kasım 2022’de görmesi, mevcut döngüde yeni bir dibin Kasım 2026 civarında oluşabileceği ihtimalini gündeme getiriyor.
Bununla birlikte analist, bu döngünün kesin tarihler veren bir takvim gibi değerlendirilmemesi gerektiğini vurguluyor. Bitcoin’in geçmişteki hareketleri her seferinde aynı zamanlamayla tekrarlanmadı. Dolayısıyla fiyat, kasım ayında veya daha sonraki aylarda yeni bir dip oluşturabilir.
Bitcoin 79.000 Doların Altına Gerileyebilir Mi? Ethereum yatırımlarındaki zararlarıyla da gündeme gelen LD Capital kurucusu Jack Yi, Bitcoin’deki düzeltmenin henüz tamamlanmadığını düşünüyor. Bitcoin’in 82.000 doların altına inmesinin ardından son iki gündeki düşüş hızına dikkat çeken Yi, satışların devam etmesi halinde 79.000 doların altının görülebileceğini belirtiyor.
Bu senaryoda 79.000 dolar, kısa vadeli fiyat hareketlerini değerlendirmek için önemli bir eşik haline geliyor. Bitcoin bu seviyenin altına düşerse yatırımcıların bir sonraki odak noktası yaklaşık 75.000 dolar olabilir. Yi’nin değerlendirmesi, bu seviyelerin kesin olarak görüleceği anlamına gelmiyor; olası düşüş senaryosunda izlenmesi gereken bölgeleri gösteriyor.
Kripto para piyasasında bu tür fiyat eşikleri, yatırımcıların risklerini yeniden değerlendirmesine yardımcı olabilir. Ancak tek başına belirli bir seviyenin kırılması, düşüşün ne kadar süreceğini veya fiyatın nerede dip yapacağını kesin biçimde ortaya koymaz.
Bitcoin Fiyatındaki Düşüş Boğa Piyasasının Sonu Mu? Jack Yi, mevcut fiyat hareketini uzun vadeli yükseliş trendinin sona erdiğinin kesin kanıtı olarak görmüyor. Ona göre yaşananlar, boğa piyasası içinde ortaya çıkabilecek olağan bir düzeltme hareketi de olabilir. Bu yaklaşım, Kuiper’in daha temkinli değerlendirmesiyle birlikte ele alındığında piyasanın yönü konusunda iki ihtimalin de açık kaldığını gösteriyor.
Kuiper, ayı piyasasının devam ediyor olabileceğini ve ilerleyen aylarda yeni dip ihtimalinin bulunduğunu vurgularken Yi, düşüşün daha geniş bir yükseliş trendi içindeki düzeltme olabileceğini savunuyor. Bu farklı bakış açıları, Bitcoin’in kısa vadeli fiyat hareketleri ile uzun vadeli piyasa döngüsünü birbirinden ayırmanın önemini ortaya koyuyor.
Yatırımcılar Hangi Seviyeleri Takip Etmeli? Mevcut tabloda 82.000 dolar çevresindeki fiyat hareketleri, 79.000 dolar eşiği ve olası 75.000 dolar bölgesi yakından izlenebilir. Bunun yanında Bitcoin’in haftalık performansı, işlem hacmi ve genel piyasa koşulları da değerlendirmeye dahil edilmeli. Böylece yatırımcılar tek bir fiyat tahminine bağlı kalmadan farklı senaryoları karşılaştırabilir.
Bitcoin’in geçmiş döngüleri gelecekteki fiyat hareketlerini garanti etmez. Bu nedenle kripto yatırımı kararlarında hem olası kayıpları hem de belirsizlikleri hesaba katmak önem taşıyor.

This week, Ethereum researchers warned AI could break the signatures securing Bitcoin and Ethereum "in months, not years" in the worst case, well before quantum computers arrive.
This information didn't sit well with early Bitcoin pioneer and Blockstream CEO Adam Back, who criticized Ethereum's early design decisions in an X post.
Back was particularly critical of Ethereum's early developers, describing them as inexperienced, saying that they "reimplemented around an obviously broken architecture" despite warning attempts.

The Blockstream CEO believes Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto's choice of the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model for the BTC network reflected a deeper understanding of distributed systems and peer-to-peer network design.
"It's almost like Satoshi knew something about distributed systems," Back said in support of Bitcoin's UTXO model.
@seal_kiman @UtxoSaint It's almost like Satoshi knew something about distributed systems (or network / p2p programming) as the UTXO model is well-designed for avoiding them. .eth's were young, naive, no experience/wisdom, reimplemented around an obviously broken architecture. Tried to warn them 🤷♂️
— Adam Back (@adam3us) October 10, 2026 UTXO in this context is short for "Unspent Transaction Output" model, which works like physical cash, where discrete coins or outputs are spent and new ones are created, used by blockchains such as Bitcoin and Cardano.

Ethereum does not use UTXO but rather utilizes an account-based model (similar to a traditional bank ledger), where each user or smart contract has a persistent balance and state that updates directly with each transaction.
While Ethereum currently relies on accounts, ETH researchers have proposed experimental frameworks to introduce optional UTXO-style features, such as Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8141, which introduces a new transaction type (0x06, or Frame Transactions) designed to achieve native account abstraction and post-quantum readiness.
What happened?Ethereum researcher Justin Drake, in an X post on Wednesday, told the crypto industry to start preparing for "bunker mode," warning that artificial intelligence could find a way to break the mathematics protecting Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets in the worst case "in months, not years."

Accordingly, Drake urged large holders to begin a gradual move of their funds to fresh addresses.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin weighed in on Drake's take, saying he wouldn't recommend anyone scramble to move their funds to new wallets at the moment, but added that the risk from AI-accelerated math remains something that should be taken seriously.
"I don't recommend anyone scramble to move their funds to new wallets today. But we should take the risks to cryptography from AI-accelerated math seriously, and minimize our exposure to not just quantum-vulnerable cryptography but also potentially AI-vulnerable cryptography," Buterin wrote on X.

According to official data, Papertrade recorded a cumulative trading volume of $39.9 billion in its first 30 minutes post-launch. The platform’s contract open interest also dropped sharply, with Bitcoin and Ethereum contract positions standing at $1.27 billion and $890 million respectively. The initial trading boom may be linked to its project mechanism: per official documentation, PaperTrade’s native token PAPER is minted via a model where the protocol mints a set amount of PAPER on a curve for every $1 a platform user loses. When the LP balance is below $2 million, the minting ratio is fixed at 100 PAPER per $1 of losses; once the LP scale exceeded $2 million, PAPER token emissions entered a decay phase. Papertrade is a fully on-chain synthetic perpetual trading platform built on HyperEVM, which pulls prices from the Best Bid Offer (BBO) mid-price of the Hyperliquid order book. Users trade directly against the protocol’s liquidity provider (LP) as counterparty, rather than through traditional order book matching. The protocol’s key features include high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding fees.

Fake Ledger websites top Google search results, with related sites attracting over 1 million visits in the past 30 days.
Security researcher @cyberscrilla has discovered a fake Ledger website and app appearing at the top of Google search results, designed to trick users into revealing their 24-word recovery phrases. Reportedly, Google data shows the site has received over 1 million visits in the past 30 days. Earlier, cybersecurity firm Zscaler uncovered in a September investigation that malicious Google ads impersonating Ledger were redirecting users to fake wallet verification pages. Currently, Ledger is probing an alleged wallet theft case involving customers of Southeast Asian dealer CryptoBilis, with an estimated loss of $86 million.

Tom Lee: Ethereum May Surpass $5,000 by Year-End, Expected to Hit $50,000 in This Cycle
Bitmine, an Ethereum treasury firm’s Chairman Tom Lee recently stated that Ethereum is poised to rally to between $25,000 and $50,000 in the current cycle. He noted that ETH has traded in a similar range over the past five years, and its ongoing consolidation may lay the foundation for a larger breakout down the line. Tom Lee also projected ETH’s price will surpass $5,000 by year-end, adding that if Bitcoin climbs above $100,000, ETH could hit roughly $7,500.

Papertrade has recorded a nominal trading volume exceeding $80 billion, with users incurring a cumulative loss of $4.73 million while attempting to farm PAPER tokens.
According to official website data, Papertrade recorded over $80 billion in cumulative notional trading volume within its first hour of launch. BlockBeats analyzed that the platform’s early trading frenzy may be tied to its unique mechanism. Per its official documentation, the issuance model of Papertrade’s native token PAPER works as follows: for every $1 a platform user loses, the protocol mints a certain amount of PAPER on a curve. When the protocol’s LP balance is below $2 million, the minting rate is fixed at 100 PAPER per $1 in losses; now that the LP pool size exceeds $2 million, PAPER token emissions have entered a decay phase. Likely driven by the above-mentioned "trading losses for tokens" mechanism, data shows that users on the platform have accumulated $4.73 million in total trading losses. Papertrade is a fully on-chain synthetic perpetual trading platform deployed on HyperEVM, which pulls prices from the BBO mid-price of Hyperliquid’s order book. Users trade directly against the protocol’s LP as counterparty, rather than via traditional order book matching. The protocol’s key selling points include high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding fees.

Hedge funds’ net exposure to the US Magnificent Seven climbed to 22%, marking a new record high.
According to Goldman Sachs data, investor bullish sentiment toward large-cap tech stocks has reached an all-time high. Hedge funds’ total net exposure to the U.S. Magnificent 7 tech stocks has risen to 22%, a record high. This figure has surged by 7 percentage points since July, marking the largest three-month increase since 2023, and breaking the previous peak of 21% set in June 2024 (compared to just 8% during the 2022 bear market low). Meanwhile, hedge funds’ total net exposure to U.S. semiconductor stocks has climbed to 12%, only slightly below the 14% peak reached in June 2026, while this metric stood at just 2% at the start of 2025. Current market demand for tech stocks is extremely strong. (The Kobeissi Letter)

Papertrade launched in under 10 minutes, with nominal trading volume hitting $14.4 billion.
According to official information, Papertrade generated a notional trading volume of $14.4 billion in less than 10 minutes after its launch. As of press time, open interest for Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts stood at $3 billion and $2.66 billion respectively. The project’s early trading boom may be tied to its unique mechanism. Per the official documentation, the issuance model of PaperTrade’s native token PAPER works as follows: for every $1 a platform user loses, the protocol mints a certain number of PAPER tokens on a curve. When the liquidity provider (LP) balance is below $2 million, the minting ratio is fixed at 100 PAPER per $1 lost; once the LP balance exceeds $2 million, the minting rate begins to decay, with the number of PAPER minted decreasing as the LP balance grows.
Ethereum researchers have raised concerns that advances in artificial intelligence could compromise the cryptographic signatures securing Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets within months, not years, in the most severe scenario. This risk, they claim, could emerge well before the development of practical quantum computers.
Experts debate blockchain security modelsBlockstream CEO Adam Back strongly criticized the original architecture decisions of Ethereum’s early developers, following the AI warning. Back argued that the team behind Ethereum demonstrated inexperience, stating that they rebuilt their protocol “around an obviously broken architecture” despite warnings from others in the industry.
Back praised the technical foresight of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, pointing to the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model chosen for the Bitcoin network. He believes that this design displayed a deeper grasp of distributed systems and peer-to-peer networks.
It’s almost like Satoshi knew something about distributed systems, Back wrote, making the case that Bitcoin’s UTXO model offers structural advantages.
The UTXO model, utilized by Bitcoin and Cardano, functions similarly to physical cash, where distinct coins or outputs are spent and replaced by new ones after each transaction. This approach is fundamentally different from Ethereum’s account-based model.
Ethereum manages balances through persistent accounts, akin to a traditional bank ledger, where each user or smart contract maintains a running balance. Transactions update these balances directly, as opposed to generating new outputs per transaction.
Ethereum seeks post-quantum and AI resilienceIn response to potential advances in AI-powered attacks, some Ethereum developers have outlined proposals to experiment with UTXO-style features. One notable initiative, Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8141, introduces a new Frame Transaction type (0x06) aimed at achieving native account abstraction as well as enhancing resistance to both quantum and AI threats.
Justin Drake, an Ethereum researcher, recently advised the crypto sector to adopt a “bunker mode” mentality, anticipating that AI could soon breach the mathematical protections of current digital wallets.
Drake cautioned that, in a worst-case scenario, AI systems might uncover methods to break private key security on both Bitcoin and Ethereum in a matter of months, urging large holders to gradually move their assets to new addresses as a preventive measure.
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, provided a more tempered perspective. While acknowledging the seriousness of AI-accelerated cryptographic threats, Buterin advised users not to rush into moving their assets immediately but emphasized the importance of minimizing exposure to both quantum- and AI-vulnerable cryptography.
The scrutiny on secure protocols comes at a time when technical innovation is accelerating and market volatility can spike unexpectedly. In a market where a single Fed decision or a sudden altcoin listing can change everything in seconds, jumping between different apps for charts, news, and portfolio tracking is costing investors money. Smart traders are now utilizing privacy-first tools like CryptoAppsy to consolidate everything. Without even the hassle of creating an account, you get real-time charts, smart price alerts, coin-specific news, and critical macro data all on one screen.
Ledger is investigating reports of cryptocurrency losses among customers in Southeast Asia who purchased hardware wallets through CryptoBilis, a reseller listed as an official distributor in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
The incident came to light on Friday, Oct. 9, as blockchain researchers traced funds from suspected victims' wallets. Initial estimates put the losses above $72 million, but subsequent analysis by Bitquery expanded the reported total to $92.9 million across 311 wallets on five networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain and Polygon.
The distinction between a wallet-draining incident and a confirmed compromise of Ledger's own systems is important. Ledger devices are designed to keep private keys offline, but maliciously modified hardware or a compromised supply chain could potentially undermine that protection.
HOT Stories
The precise attack method remains unconfirmed, and the available evidence does not establish that Ledger's core infrastructure was breached.
Ledger said it had asked CryptoBilis to suspend all sales and shipments while its investigation proceeds. It also issued precautionary guidance to customers who purchased devices from the reseller during the previous 90 days.
"Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis," the company said in its statement.
Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis. As a precaution, and pending the results of our investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments of Ledger devices. We recommend Ledger users who purchased from this reseller in the last 90 days to not initiate set up if you have not done so yet. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with new seed). We will continue to inform customers of updates as the investigation progresses. Reach out to Ledger customer support through official channels with any questions: https://t.co/4p918UH8yb
— Ledger Support (@Ledger_Support) October 9, 2026 Ledger advised customers who had bought devices from the reseller but had not yet initialized them not to proceed with setup. Customers who had already configured their devices were advised to consider moving their assets to a new Ledger signer with a new seed phrase.
Blockchain investigator Specter separately reported tracing suspicious addresses that received funds from hundreds of victim wallets across Ethereum, TRON and Bitcoin, estimating losses above $86 million.

Bitquery's analysis identified small test transactions over approximately two weeks before the main outflows, followed by coordinated transfers across multiple networks.
Researchers also observed groups of wallets signing similar requests within seconds of one another. These patterns suggest preparation and a possible common point of control, but blockchain transactions alone cannot establish how the attacker gained access to the wallets.
$10 million in USDT frozen as investigators trace fundsThe investigation has produced several developments in tracking the stolen assets. Tether reportedly froze approximately $10 million in USDT across 20 wallets associated with the suspected theft. The action prevents the affected USDT from being transferred through those addresses, but does not automatically return the funds to victims.
At the analysis cutoff, approximately 14,810 ETH remained in a group of suspected attacker-controlled wallets. Researchers also identified around 203.8 BTC in associated Bitcoin addresses, with those funds reportedly unmoved at that point.
Bitquery's analysis further identified the movement of approximately 1,254 ETH through Tornado Cash and Zcash. The funds reportedly later appeared in three new wallets, including one holding about 2.1 million USDC.
The presence of USDC may provide another potential avenue for intervention, depending on the issuer's assessment and the addresses involved, but a freeze should not be assumed unless confirmed.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, commonly known as CZ, said the information available at the time pointed toward a localized supply-chain incident involving one vendor.
He suggested that a small number of customers may have received counterfeit or tampered devices, while calling on industry participants to help trace and recover the assets. This remains an assessment, not a confirmed finding from Ledger's investigation.
⚠️ Beware if you use a Ledger hardware wallet, especially if you bought one recently. Based on information so far, it seems to be localized to a supply chain attack with one vendor. A small number of people probably bought fake (or tampered) Ledgers. Ledger is one of the most secure and oldest hardware wallets in the industry. Stood the test of time. But these things happen. I expect and know all BNB ecosystem players (and all industry) to help trace and recover the funds.
— CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance) October 9, 2026 Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès also shared photographs of a Ledger Nano X he said he had received from Malaysia. According to Karpelès, the device's shrink-wrap appeared intact, but he found a concealed electronic module where the screen padding should have been.
He said hardware implants had become more sophisticated, potentially making modified components harder to distinguish from original parts.
Karpelès has requested photographs from affected users to help identify similar modifications. However, Ledger has not been shown to have confirmed that the reported module was functional or connected to the CryptoBilis incident.
The latest independent estimate places the reported losses at $92.9 million, but that figure has not been confirmed by Ledger. The cause of the incident also remains unresolved, with the available evidence pointing toward a possible supply-chain issue without conclusively proving that counterfeit or modified devices were responsible.
For now, the confirmed response includes Ledger's investigation and reseller suspension, its precautionary guidance to customers, and the reported freeze of $10 million in USDT. Further conclusions will depend on forensic findings and continued on-chain tracing.
Bitcoin stabilized close to $83,000 following a sharp market downturn, putting it 3.6% lower for the week after hitting a low near $80,400. While most leading cryptocurrencies experienced steeper declines over the same period, select tokens such as NEAR Protocol and Monero limited their losses and, in some cases, recorded notable gains.
Bitcoin market volatility shakes major cryptocurrenciesA series of failed attempts to reclaim the $87,000 mark preceded Bitcoin’s pullback earlier in the week. The slide intensified, sending BTC down to $80,400 before recovering above $83,000. This volatility wiped nearly $7,000 from Bitcoin’s price in just a few days, drawing close scrutiny from market watchers regarding how alternative tokens performed against this backdrop.
NEAR Protocol’s performance illustrated the complexity of the week’s moves. Its token fell only 0.3% over the week, a relatively modest decline considering its 91.7% surge in the previous month. On October 10, NEAR added over 10%, reaching about $5.25. Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, declined 1.3% over the week, outperforming Bitcoin’s loss. However, analysts caution that weekly price changes alone do not reveal whether these movements resulted from fresh buying, inactive holders, or thin trading volumes.
Despite Bitcoin’s recovery, most large-cap tokens fared worse; 13 out of 16 prominent cryptocurrencies underperformed BTC for the week. Among them, Stellar registered the biggest drop, falling 13.5%. XRP lost 9% over the period, even as investment funds tied to XRP attracted $8.2 million in inflows.

ETF fund flows and shifting market dominanceRecent fund movements showed significant outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, which registered $244 million in net outflows in a single day. These outflows coincided with Bitcoin’s price drop, presenting a complex picture for investor demand. In contrast, funds dedicated to XRP saw notable inflows, even as XRP’s price declined.
Bitcoin’s market dominance rose to 59.5%, with its total market capitalization near $1.66 trillion. During the correction, the overall value of the crypto market dropped by approximately $200 billion before recovering to $2.8 trillion. Ethereum rebounded toward $2,500 after declining to $2,400, and XRP recovered from $1.34 to $1.41. Nevertheless, several leading tokens ended the week below their recent highs.
NEAR and Cardano led daily recoveries among larger alternative cryptocurrencies. Cardano climbed roughly 7%, reclaiming $0.255. NEAR’s advance outperformed most rivals. Meanwhile, Bitcoin hovered near $83,000 on October 10, unable to revisit the $87,000 level tested earlier that week.
Although daily rebounds restored some value in the crypto market, several top tokens remained below their recent peaks, and weekly numbers alone offered limited insight into changing investor sentiment.
Analysts note that surface-level weekly figures can obscure underlying trends. Light trading or inactivity can keep price changes muted, while deeper shifts in demand or sharp selloffs followed by rapid recoveries may not appear obvious in broad comparisons. The current period continues to highlight the uncertainties shaping market leadership and short-term direction.
TLDR: The Bitcoin price fell 3.6% for the week after touching $80,400, then recovered above $83,000 following Thursday’s sharp decline. NEAR lost just 0.3% in the weekly comparison after a 91.7% monthly advance, then jumped more than 10% to about $5.25 on October 10. Monero’s 1.3% weekly decline beat Bitcoin’s loss, though price performance alone cannot show whether trading activity or buying demand drove the difference. Bitcoin ETF outflows reached $244 million in one day, while XRP funds saw $8.2 million in inflows even as XRP fell 9% for the week. The Bitcoin price fell to a weekly low near $80,400 on October 8 as a crypto market selloff accelerated. By October 9, BTC had recovered to $83,247, leaving it 3.6% lower for the week. Most large tokens lost more over that same seven-day period.
NEAR Protocol and Monero were exceptions, down 0.3% and 1.3%, respectively, in the weekly comparison. Yet those figures capture only one point in a volatile stretch. NEAR had climbed 91.7% over the prior month, then rose more than 10% on October 10. The Bitcoin price and altcoin moves show resilience in the data, but not its cause.
Source: Coingecko Bitcoin Price Slide Put NEAR and Monero Under Scrutiny The selloff followed several failed attempts by BTC to reclaim $87,000. After slipping below $84,000 earlier in the week, Bitcoin fell to $80,400 on Thursday. The decline erased nearly $7,000 in a few days before buyers lifted BTC above $83,000. Bitcoin price weakness contrasted with the narrower weekly losses in NEAR and Monero.
NEAR’s small weekly drop deserves context. Its token price had climbed 91.7% in the previous month. That run can change how a weekly selloff appears. Even an intraday pullback may leave a token close to its starting price for the week. NEAR then gained more than 10%, reaching roughly $5.25 on October 10.
BTC price rebound shows how quickly the comparison shifted as prices recovered. Monero’s 1.3% loss also compared favorably with BTC. But a small decline alone cannot show whether buyers were accumulating, holders were inactive, or trading was thin.
ETF Flows and Weekend Recovery Point to Uneven Demand Gains were not broad among large-cap coins. Thirteen of 16 tracked major tokens fell more than BTC during the measured week. Stellar posted the steepest decline at 13.5%. XRP lost 9%, despite XRP funds recording $8.2 million in inflows. Bitcoin ETFs, meanwhile, had $244 million in daily net outflows. Those flows complicate a simple demand narrative. Positive fund subscriptions did not protect XRP from falling. BTC declined despite its ETFs recording daily net outflows.
Bitcoin’s dominance increased to 59.5% as its market capitalization stood around $1.66 trillion. The total crypto market value rebounded to about $2.8 trillion after losing roughly $200 billion from its high to low. ETH recovered toward $2,500 after falling to $2,400, while XRP moved from $1.34 to around $1.41. The bounce restored some lost value but left several large tokens below recent levels.
Source: Coingecko NEAR and ADA led the daily rebound among larger altcoins. Cardano rose about 7%, reclaiming $0.255, while NEAR’s advance outpaced peers. The Bitcoin price remained near $83,000 on October 10, below Monday’s $87,000 test and above Thursday’s low. This places the weekly outperformance beside a quick bounce, without confirming a lasting change in market leadership.
That matters for the Bitcoin price beside smaller tokens. Daily changes can look calm if trading is light, but weekly returns alone do not reveal activity. The same result can emerge from steady demand, limited selling, or a sharp drop followed by a rebound.
Tron founder Justin Sun has announced that the network’s post-quantum cryptography is now operational on its testnet, signaling a proactive move to secure blockchain assets against potential threats from quantum computing advancements.
Tron’s quantum resistance initiativeIn a social media post shared on Saturday, Sun stated that Tron developers are closely monitoring developments in both quantum computing and artificial intelligence. He emphasized that Tron is prepared to deploy quantum-resistant solutions to its mainnet whenever necessary.
“We’re committed to keeping user assets secure, and Tron is set to be one of the few major blockchains that is quantum-resistant before Q-Day,” Sun wrote, referencing the anticipated milestone when quantum computers could undermine current security standards.
We’re closely tracking progress in quantum computing and AI, and we’re ready to bring quantum resistance to mainnet at any time, Sun said in a post on X.
The Tron network, established by Justin Sun, is a major blockchain platform focused on decentralized applications and digital asset trading. Its move towards post-quantum cryptography positions it among the leading blockchain projects working to stay ahead of emerging technological risks.
Industry-wide push for post-quantum securityAs interest grows regarding the future capabilities of quantum computers, blockchain security experts have intensified research into quantum-resistant technologies. Many worry that powerful quantum machines will eventually crack elliptic-curve cryptography, which serves as the security backbone for networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Coindesk recently reported that AmericanFortress, a blockchain security company, has unveiled a cryptographic solution designed to protect digital wallets from future quantum attacks. Uniquely, the proposal maintains existing wallet addresses and does not require users to transfer funds, rotate keys, or alter wallet addresses to achieve post-quantum protection.
AmericanFortress shared its technical approach in a paper uploaded to the Cryptography ePrint Archive, a repository for cryptographic research. At the time of publication, the proposal had not undergone peer review.
Mini dictionary: Cryptography ePrint Archive, an online repository for researchers to share papers on cryptography and information security, often prior to formal peer review.
Major blockchain projects respondDevelopers across the industry have accelerated efforts to deploy quantum-resistant measures. Early this year, a consortium led by blockchain security firm Strategy committed $15 million to support Bitcoin quantum security research. The Ethereum Foundation presented a proposal to help migrate accounts to quantum-resistant cryptography, and Algorand revealed plans to introduce quantum-resistant accounts by 2027.
The growing focus reflects increasing concerns that achieving quantum advantage could trigger severe vulnerabilities for current crypto ecosystems unless advanced protections are implemented promptly.

U.S. crypto ETFs tracked across Farside Investors’ Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid and Zcash tables recorded combined net outflows of $1.29 billion during Oct. 5–9, with Bitcoin and Ether funds accounting for most withdrawals.
Summary
Bitcoin ETFs lost $678.9 million despite returning to net inflows on Friday. Ethereum ETFs recorded $542.2 million in withdrawals across five consecutive negative sessions. Solana ETFs shed $25 million, with Bitwise’s BSOL accounting for most weekly redemptions. Zcash and Hyperliquid products posted respective weekly outflows of $30.8 million and $9.4 million. Farside Investors’ daily figures put combined Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF withdrawals at $1.22 billion for the five trading sessions. The other three tracked categories added $65.2 million in net outflows, leaving all five groups negative for the week.
Calculated from those tables, the five categories had attracted a combined $29.2 million during Sept. 28–Oct. 2. Bitcoin’s earlier inflows had offset withdrawals elsewhere, but its reversal pushed the latest aggregate sharply into negative territory.
Bitcoin ETFs lose $678.9 million despite Friday inflows Farside’s Bitcoin table recorded three negative sessions and two positive sessions during Oct. 5–9. Funds lost $89.8 million on Monday before attracting $118.8 million on Tuesday.
Wednesday brought the largest daily withdrawal at $484.9 million, followed by another $244.1 million on Thursday. Friday’s $21.1 million inflow reduced the weekly loss to $678.9 million, compared with $241.1 million in inflows the previous week.
At fund level, Fidelity’s FBTC led withdrawals with $380.3 million, followed by ARK 21Shares’ ARKB at $207.2 million. Bitwise’s BITB lost $45.3 million, while Grayscale’s GBTC shed $47.5 million.
BlackRock’s IBIT finished marginally positive at $1.1 million. Monday and Tuesday inflows totaled $191.9 million, but Wednesday’s $207.7 million withdrawal erased that gain. Thursday brought a further $5.5 million exit before Friday added $22.4 million.
Morgan Stanley’s MSBT gained $7.8 million, and Franklin Templeton’s EZBC added $4.7 million. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust lost $11 million, while VanEck’s HODL finished $1.2 million lower.
Ethereum ETFs record five straight days of withdrawals Farside’s Ethereum figures showed $542.2 million in weekly net outflows, up from $138.1 million during Sept. 28–Oct. 2. Every session in the latest reporting period ended negative.
Monday’s $50.8 million withdrawal was followed by $201.9 million on Tuesday, the largest daily exit. Funds then lost $160.9 million on Wednesday, $72.5 million on Thursday and $56.1 million on Friday.
BlackRock’s ETHA accounted for $477.1 million, or approximately 88% of the weekly total. Its Tuesday withdrawal matched the entire category’s $201.9 million outflow that day.
Grayscale’s ETHE lost $31.9 million, while Fidelity’s FETH recorded $13.4 million in net withdrawals. Bitwise’s ETHW shed $5.9 million, and 21Shares’ TETH lost $7.5 million.
VanEck’s ETHV and Invesco’s QETH posted respective exits of $3.7 million and $2 million. Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust also lost $2 million.
Morgan Stanley’s MSSE added $1.3 million on Thursday, making it the only Ethereum fund in the table with positive net flows for the week. BlackRock’s ETHB and Franklin Templeton’s EZET recorded no net flows.
Solana ETFs shed $25 million across five negative sessions Farside’s Solana table showed withdrawals on every trading day, totaling $25 million. The previous week had ended with a much smaller $800,000 net inflow.
Monday’s $9.2 million exit was the largest daily withdrawal. Tuesday recorded $3.7 million in outflows, followed by $4.8 million on Wednesday, $3.5 million on Thursday and $3.8 million on Friday.
Bitwise’s BSOL accounted for $21 million in weekly withdrawals, with negative flows on four sessions. Farside recorded no net movement for the fund on Tuesday.
The FSOL product lost $2.1 million on Monday, while Grayscale’s GSOL shed $3.7 million on Tuesday. Morgan Stanley’s MSOL partly offset those exits with $1.8 million in Thursday inflows.
VSOL, TSOL and SOEZ recorded no net flows during the period. Farside’s cumulative total for the Solana category stood at approximately $1.58 billion after Friday’s session.
Zcash and Hyperliquid funds add $40.2 million in exits Farside’s Zcash table recorded $30.8 million in weekly withdrawals from ZCSH. Monday brought a $3.6 million exit, Wednesday added $8.5 million, and Thursday recorded $18.7 million. Tuesday and Friday showed no net flows.
The latest loss followed $77.6 million in withdrawals during Sept. 28–Oct. 2. Across the two five-session periods, the table therefore recorded combined redemptions of $108.4 million.
Hyperliquid products lost $9.4 million during Oct. 5–9, reversing the previous week’s $3.4 million inflow, according to Farside’s separate table.
THYP accounted for $12.4 million in withdrawals, split between $2.7 million on Monday and $9.7 million on Thursday. Tuesday’s inflows of $1 million into BHYP and $2 million into HYPG partly offset those redemptions. Wednesday and Friday recorded no net flows across the three products.
China could become a major driver of the next crypto market cycle if it finds a way to reopen access to digital assets. Solana Company CEO Joseph Chee says Beijing is using Hong Kong to test crypto regulations.
Meanwhile, China’s reported Bitcoin holdings and mining activity show why any policy shift could matter to the global market.
China Uses Hong Kong to Test Crypto RulesIn a recent interview, Joseph Chee, CEO of Solana Company, said that China cannot afford to ignore blockchain technology despite its restrictions on cryptocurrency trading.
“They are using Hong Kong as the region to test how the technology will be implemented and are going to find ways to manage it.”
Beijing continues to use Hong Kong as a testing ground for Web3 development. Hong Kong is approving regulated spot ETFs, tightening audit rules for virtual asset service providers (VASPs), and developing stablecoins such as HSBC’s RedCoin.
🇨🇳Crypto bears might have another thing to worry about if this story develops.
Joseph Chee says China is using Hong Kong as a testing ground for crypto regulation while exploring ways to manage digital assets.
“It’s HUGE
I think crypto is gonna go through another super cycle.”… pic.twitter.com/5glnhFsahu
— nordin.eth (@nordin_eth) October 10, 2026 This approach could help mainland China study how crypto markets operate under tighter rules before deciding whether to expand access.
Chee believes that if China allows more crypto trading and blockchain use, the impact could be significant.
“I think the crypto is going to go through another super cycle.”
Why China’s Return Could Matter for CryptoChee pointed to Asia’s large population and its early role in crypto adoption. He said restrictions in China slowed that growth, while the U.S. market gained a larger role.
Despite banning crypto trading in 2021, China holds an estimated 190,000 in government-linked wallets, worth around $15.7 billion. Although the government does not officially buy Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, it remains one of the world’s largest government-linked Bitcoin holders.
China also remains connected to Bitcoin mining. Estimates suggest China-linked miners control around 14% to 20% of the global Bitcoin mining power.
Therefore, a reopening could bring Chinese traders and companies back into the market.
“Chee believes China will eventually find a way to manage cryptocurrencies.”
China Builds Blockchain Infrastructure Beyond CryptoChina is also developing blockchain technology for uses beyond token trading. According to Xinhua, a 19-measure policy aims to build nationwide blockchain and computing infrastructure.
BREAKING: 🇨🇳 China moves to establish a nationwide blockchain network to integrate blockchain technology across its economy.
— Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) October 10, 2026 The plan focuses on bringing blockchain into manufacturing, banking, and data sharing, while improving data ownership rules and cross-border data flows.
This suggests Beijing is continuing to explore blockchain applications even as access to cryptocurrencies remains restricted.

Trump: I have made enormous contributions to world peace, and it is unbelievable that I was not selected for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump posted on Truth Social, stating: "I ended 8 wars, and 2 more are set to end or be resolved. I freed all Israeli hostages, including the last 28 survivors and victims. I released hundreds of hostages from around the world and sent them back home. I won the Venezuela conflict, captured the dictator who tyrannically ruled the country, and prevented Iran—the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism—from acquiring nuclear weapons—wait a minute! Yet despite all I and the U.S. have accomplished, I did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s truly unbelievable!"

Viewpoint: Bitcoin’s current trend resembles that of late 2025 to early 2026, with the $80,000 level serving as a key support.
Crypto analyst Darkfost posted on X that Bitcoin’s current trend closely resembles the market pattern from the end of 2025 to early 2026. Prices are fluctuating continuously around the capital-weighted cost benchmark, with $80,500 emerging as a potential key near-term support level. Unlike the realized price, which only calculates purchase prices, the capital-weighted cost benchmark metric weights holding costs based on the size of invested funds, making it a key indicator of the market’s average profit and loss status. Darkfost added that the current zone is a critical juncture where investors are roughly at the break-even point, and market uncertainty may drive more investors to take action. While the $80,500 level is likely to act as support for now, its subsequent trend remains to be closely watched.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission stated that its regulation on shareholding limits for major shareholders of virtual asset trading platforms is not targeting specific individuals or enterprises.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Lee Won-uk, chairman of South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC), stated that the ongoing Digital Asset Basic Act’s provisions on shareholding limits for major shareholders of virtual asset exchanges are not targeted at specific individuals or firms, but are designed to address the higher public responsibilities exchanges must assume after operating on an institutionalized basis. Currently, South Korea’s virtual asset exchanges operate under a triennial renewal and reporting system, which will be switched to a licensing-based operation system once the Digital Asset Basic Act takes effect. Lee emphasized that virtual asset exchanges possess infrastructure attributes and need to demonstrate the level of public accountability commensurate with their status.
Kripto para piyasasında güvenlik endişelerini artıran yeni bir hack iddiası gündeme geldi. Dünyanın önde gelen donanım cüzdanı üreticilerinden Ledger, bazı kullanıcıların kripto varlıklarının çalındığına yönelik iddiaların ardından soruşturma başlattı. Zincir üstü araştırmalara göre toplam kaybın 86 milyon doları aşmış olabileceği belirtilirken, Binance kurucusu Changpeng Zhao (CZ) da yatırımcıları dikkatli olmaları konusunda uyardı.
86 Milyon Dolarlık Kripto Para Çalındı mı? Güneydoğu Asya’daki bazı Ledger kullanıcılarının kripto para varlıklarını kaybettiğine yönelik iddialar, sektörde büyük yankı uyandırdı. Zincir üstü araştırmacı Specter, Ethereum, TRON ve Bitcoin ağlarında yüzlerce cüzdandan şüpheli adreslere gerçekleştirilen transferleri takip ettiğini açıkladı. Specter’ın tahminlerine göre olayla bağlantılı toplam kayıp 86 milyon doların üzerine çıkmış olabilir. Ancak saldırıların hangi yöntemle gerçekleştirildiği henüz kesinleşmedi. Ledger cihazlarının temel güvenlik altyapısının doğrudan ele geçirildiğine ilişkin doğrulanmış bir kanıt bulunmadığı belirtiliyor.
İlginizi Çekebilir: Bitcoin’in Kaderi Bu Seviyeye Bağlı!
Ledger, güvenlik iddialarının CryptoBilis adlı satıcı üzerinden satın alınan cihazlarla bağlantılı olabileceğini değerlendiriyor. Şirket, soruşturma tamamlanana kadar ilgili satıcının satış ve sevkiyat faaliyetlerini durdurmasını istedi. Ayrıca son 90 gün içerisinde CryptoBilis üzerinden Ledger cihazı satın alan kullanıcıların cihazlarını henüz kurmamaları gerektiği bildirildi. Cihazlarını daha önce kullanmaya başlayan kişilere ise yeni bir kurtarma ifadesi oluşturarak varlıklarını güvenilir yeni bir Ledger cihazına taşımaları tavsiye edildi. Bu uyarılar, donanım cüzdanlarının güvenliğinin yalnızca yazılımsal korumaya değil, cihazların güvenilir kaynaklardan temin edilmesine de bağlı olduğunu yeniden gündeme taşıdı.
Binance Kurucusu CZ’den Ledger Açıklaması Binance’in kurucusu Changpeng Zhao (CZ), olayla ilgili ilk bulguların olası bir tedarik zinciri saldırısına işaret ettiğini belirtti. Zhao’ya göre bazı kullanıcılar, orijinal cihazlar yerine üzerinde değişiklik yapılmış veya sahte Ledger ürünleri satın almış olabilir.
CZ, Ledger’ın kripto para sektörünün en köklü donanım cüzdanı üreticilerinden biri olduğunu vurgularken, olayın şirketin tüm cihazlarının güvenliğinin ihlal edildiği anlamına gelmediğine dikkat çekti.
Zhao ayrıca BNB ekosistemindeki katılımcıların ve sektörün diğer aktörlerinin çalınan kripto varlıkların izlenmesi ve geri alınması konusunda destek sağlayabileceğini ifade etti.
Kripto Para Yatırımcılarını Nasıl Etkileyebilir? Ledger hakkındaki güvenlik iddiaları, kripto para yatırımcılarının donanım cüzdanı kullanırken dikkat etmesi gereken riskleri yeniden gündeme getirdi. Özellikle üçüncü taraf satıcılardan temin edilen cihazların güvenilirliği ve kurtarma ifadelerinin korunması kritik önem taşıyor. Genel değerlendirmede 86 milyon dolarlık kayıp iddiasının henüz kesinleşmemiş olması ve saldırı yönteminin tam olarak belirlenememesi, soruşturmanın sonuçlarını önemli hale getiriyor. Ledger’ın yapacağı yeni açıklamalar, olayın kapsamının netleşmesi ve etkilenen kullanıcıların belirlenmesi açısından yakından takip edilecek.

Strive, Inc., a publicly traded company known for its significant Bitcoin holdings, reportedly generated sufficient cash from its preferred stock activity to purchase 638 Bitcoin this week. This development suggests a possible $55 million withdrawal from the open market for Bitcoin. Strive, led by CEO Matt Cole, has a history of leveraging its preferred stock instruments to expand its Bitcoin treasury, previously reporting substantial acquisitions of the cryptocurrency. However, the specific figures reported in this latest purchase have not been independently confirmed by other sources.

The market appears to interpret this activity as supportive of a positive outlook for Strive’s financial positioning, as it indicates continued robust financial activity and commitment to Bitcoin acquisitions. This reported purchase aligns with Strive’s strategy of utilizing preferred equity proceeds to bolster its Bitcoin reserves. Despite the unverified nature of the exact numbers, the move is consistent with recent patterns of significant cryptocurrency investment by the company.
In the prediction market, this news appears to influence perceptions of Strive’s stock, with the “STRC Hits $100 by December 31” market currently priced at an 85.5% likelihood of reaching this target. This represents a slight increase from recent levels, suggesting that market participants see the potential for further upward movement in Strive’s stock price as a result of these financial activities.
Key Takeaways Strive’s reported purchase of 638 Bitcoin from preferred stock proceeds suggests active financial strategy consistent with ongoing Bitcoin acquisition. The market pricing for Strive reaching $100 by year-end has increased slightly, reflecting confidence in Strive’s financial maneuvers. The specific figures of the Bitcoin purchase remain unverified, but the activity aligns with Strive’s established pattern of Bitcoin investments. What to Watch Observers will focus on whether Strive independently confirms the 638 Bitcoin purchase figures, as well as any additional Bitcoin acquisitions by the company. The impact of this activity on Strive’s stock price will be closely monitored, especially any announcements that could influence the market’s outlook. Watch for further disclosures or market movements that could shift the current pricing of the “STRC Hits $100 by December 31” market.
Raheim Hamilton, the Virginia man who co-created and operated the dark web marketplace Empire Market, was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison and fined $5 million, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 7. As part of his guilty plea, Hamilton agreed to forfeit approximately 1,230 Bitcoin and 24.4 Ether, along with three properties in Virginia.
Hamilton, 30, of Suffolk, ran Empire Market from 2018 to 2020 alongside co-creator Thomas Pavey. The marketplace handled more than four million transactions worth over $430 million and generated nearly $375 million in net drug sales, according to the DOJ’s sentencing announcement.
A Crypto-Only Marketplace Built for Concealment Empire Market let buyers and sellers trade controlled substances, stolen account credentials, stolen personally identifying information, counterfeit currency, and computer-hacking tools. Court records cited roughly 13,314 grams of fentanyl, 446,683 grams of cocaine, 71,992 grams of methamphetamine, and 103,396 grams of heroin sold through the platform.
Every transaction on the site had to be settled in cryptocurrency. Hamilton and Pavey also encouraged users to run funds through tumbling and mixing services and to encrypt their communications, while letting vendors be rated on how well they concealed the drugs they shipped.
The Sentence and the Forfeiture U.S. District Judge Steven C. Seeger imposed the sentence on Monday, October 5, in Chicago. Hamilton had pleaded guilty earlier this year to a drug conspiracy charge. Pavey, 41, of Ormond Beach, Florida, pleaded guilty last year and agreed to forfeit roughly 1,584 Bitcoin, two boxes of 25-ounce gold bars, three automobiles, and two Florida properties; he is scheduled to be sentenced later this month.
The case follows a run of high-profile crypto-linked sentencings, including the 78-month term handed to the so-called “Crypto Godfather” Adam Iza and the industry ban imposed on Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky.
What the Forfeiture Signals The combined forfeiture of more than 2,800 Bitcoin between Hamilton and Pavey underscores how asset seizure now sits at the center of dark web prosecutions. The announcement was attributed to U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros, the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and Homeland Security Investigations.
The case also highlights tumbling and mixing services as a recurring enforcement target, as investigators trace crypto-denominated drug proceeds across blockchains. The scale of any further seizures remains to be seen as Pavey’s sentencing approaches.

Meanwhile, the first life insurer licensed to operate entirely in Bitcoin, has raised $37.5 million in new funding from its existing investors, the company announced.
Bain Capital Crypto led the round, with participation from Haun Ventures, Framework Ventures, Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures and Morgan Creek Digital. The raise brings Meanwhile’s total funding to more than $180 million. Sam Altman is also among its backers.
The company said the round follows a surge in demand for its Bitcoin life insurance policies outside the US, particularly in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, amid broader macroeconomic instability.
“Wealthy families around the world already hold Bitcoin. What they haven’t had is a regulated way to pass it on,” Zac Townsend, Meanwhile’s co-founder and CEO, said in a statement.
“Brokers came to us because their clients kept asking. This round lets us keep up with them.”
In early 2026, Meanwhile launched BTC Life 1-Pay, a single-premium whole life policy aimed at high-net-worth clients outside the US. It is the company’s second product line, after BTC 10-Pay, which is designed for US taxpayers.
Under BTC Life 1-Pay, a client pays one premium in Bitcoin and receives a guaranteed death benefit in Bitcoin for life. The policy’s value grows in Bitcoin, and after the first year the owner can borrow up to 90% of it, with no repayment schedule and no margin calls.
Policies can be owned by individuals, trusts or companies, which the company says makes them suited to succession and estate planning.
Since launch, Meanwhile has signed 15 brokers serving wealthy families, including in Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE and Switzerland. Partners include Lioner, an insurance, trust and family office group with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Zurich, and Apeiron Group, a marketplace for high-net-worth life insurance.
“We’re reaching a turning point where more high-net-worth clients are asking not just how to hold Bitcoin and digital assets, but how to plan around them and ultimately transfer that wealth to the next generation,” said Justin Man, CEO of Apeiron Group. Digital assets.
Meanwhile said its net long-term underwriting income has already passed last year’s total and is on track to more than double in 2026. The company did not disclose specific figures.
“Meanwhile owns every layer of a regulated life insurer and builds it like an AI-enabled startup,” said Stefan Cohen, partner at Bain Capital Crypto. “The growth this year proves the model, and we’re glad to back them again.”
The company’s operating entity, Meanwhile Insurance Bitcoin (Bermuda) Limited, holds the first Class IILT license granted by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. It received the license in July 2024 after two years in the regulator’s sandbox.
The insurer’s balance sheet, reserves and audited financial statements are all denominated in Bitcoin. Policyholder Bitcoin is held with regulated institutional custodians.

ASML to Uniformly Hike Prices of Lithography Machine Components for Samsung and SK Hynix by 10%, As AI Production Expansion Boom Drives Up Equipment Costs.
According to South Korean media reports, ASML has notified Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix that it will implement a uniform 10% price increase on EUV and DUV lithography machine components for the South Korean market. The adjustment covers regularly replaced consumable parts and core components required for fault repairs, including optical systems, light sources, and precision drive units. After consultations between the procurement departments of both sides, the two memory chip giants have accepted the price hike plan, with the adjustment set to take effect in January next year. This uniform across-the-board price increase is relatively rare; ASML previously typically adjusted prices only individually for components facing rising raw material costs or tight supply of specific materials. Meanwhile, the company is in negotiations with key clients over price hikes for new equipment. According to earlier reports, equipment manufacturers including Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron have also raised product prices, and the price hike trend in the semiconductor equipment sector is spreading. AI data center investment is driving memory chip and foundry players to expand production capacity, leading to a concentrated surge in demand for equipment and components. With suppliers taking time to ramp up production, coupled with inflation and raw material cost pressures, bargaining power in the equipment supply chain is shifting toward suppliers. The report noted that TSMC had previously opposed ASML’s equipment price hikes, indicating that different clients still have varying levels of acceptance of rising costs.

Claude Code Projects has fully lifted its waitlist, enabling Pro and Max users who were on the waitlist to now use the service.
Beating AI Express (Insight) – Anthropic announced that all waitlisted Pro and Max tier users who applied for Claude Code Projects have now been granted testing access. The feature launched in September, initially available only to a small subset of users. While its scope has expanded, it remains in Beta testing and is not yet fully open to all paid subscribers. Claude Code Projects functions as a project management agent: users only need to submit requests, and it automatically splits tasks and assigns them to multiple concurrent Claude Code sessions. Each session independently writes code, runs tests, submits pull requests (PRs), and reports back to the manager, eliminating the need for users to assign tasks or track progress manually. These sessions share project data and memory, run on the cloud by default, and can continue operating even when the user’s computer is powered off. For tasks requiring local files or software, users can also designate execution on their own device.

Supermicro contractor pleads guilty; $2.5 billion server order tied to smuggling case.
Beating AI Express News: Ting-Wei Sun, a former contractor of Supermicro, has pleaded guilty in a New York federal court in the U.S. He was involved in illegally diverting servers equipped with NVIDIA high-end AI chips to China, admitting to four charges: conspiracy to violate export controls, conspiracy to smuggle, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, and obstruction of justice. Previously, U.S. prosecutors indicted three people total. Besides Sun, the defendants include Supermicro co-founder Yih-Shyan Liaw and Ruei-Tsang Chang, general manager of the company’s Taiwan office. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) disclosed earlier that between 2024 and 2025, a Southeast Asian middleman purchased approximately $2.5 billion worth of equipment from the involved U.S. server manufacturer. Prosecutors allege that at least $510 million worth of these servers were illegally diverted to China in just a few weeks in 2025. The involved servers were typically first shipped via Taiwan to Southeast Asia, then repackaged and sent to China. To evade inspections, the suspects placed thousands of non-functional dummy servers in warehouses and used hair dryers to remove labels and serial numbers. Prosecutors said Sun participated in arranging the dummy servers and made false statements during inspections by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Supermicro was not named as a defendant in the case and has cut ties with the three involved individuals. An independent investigation released by the company in August found no evidence that current executives were aware of the smuggling scheme.
Meanwhile, a Bermuda-based life insurance company fully licensed to operate in Bitcoin, has secured $37.5 million in a fresh funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto. Other investors included Haun Ventures, Framework Ventures, Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Morgan Creek Digital. Sam Altman is also among the notable backers. This latest capitalization brings Meanwhile’s total raised funds to over $180 million.
Rising demand from wealthy familiesThe company reported that demand for its Bitcoin-denominated life insurance products has been increasing outside the United States, especially in regions including Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Meanwhile attributed this trend to growing macroeconomic uncertainty and an increased focus by high-net-worth individuals and families on succession planning for digital assets.
Zac Townsend, co-founder and CEO of Meanwhile, said that affluent families worldwide often already hold Bitcoin but have lacked regulated solutions for passing those assets on to future generations. Townsend explained, “Wealthy families around the world already hold Bitcoin. What they haven’t had is a regulated way to pass it on.”
We’re reaching a turning point where more high-net-worth clients are asking not just how to hold Bitcoin and digital assets, but how to plan around them and ultimately transfer that wealth to the next generation.
Expansion of product offeringsIn early 2026, the insurer introduced BTC Life 1-Pay, a single-premium whole life policy intended for high-net-worth clients outside the US. This followed the rollout of BTC 10-Pay, a product targeted at US taxpayers. Under BTC Life 1-Pay, policyholders pay a one-time premium in Bitcoin and are guaranteed a death benefit in Bitcoin for life. The policy’s value accrues in BTC, and after the first year, owners can borrow up to 90% of the policy value with no set repayment schedule and no margin calls.
Both individuals and entities such as trusts and companies can own these policies, making them suitable for estate and succession planning needs.
Meanwhile has signed 15 brokerage partnerships since launch, with firms serving clients in Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE, and Switzerland. Key partners include Lioner, a global insurance and trust group, and Apeiron Group, a marketplace focused on high-net-worth life insurance solutions.
Mini dictionary: BTC Life 1-Pay, a type of whole life insurance policy where a single Bitcoin premium is paid upfront, and both the policy’s value and death benefit are denominated in Bitcoin.
Business performance and regulatory standingMeanwhile stated its net long-term underwriting income has already surpassed last year’s total and is projected to more than double in 2026, although specific financial figures were not disclosed. Stefan Cohen, partner at Bain Capital Crypto, commented that the company’s growth in 2026 has validated its business model.
Meanwhile owns every layer of a regulated life insurer and builds it like an AI-enabled startup. The growth this year proves the model, and we’re glad to back them again.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF clients added $22.38 million worth of Bitcoin, extending the fund’s pattern of steady, if uneven, demand.
Farside Investors data shows the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded a net inflow of $22.4 million on October 9, 2026.
What happened at IBIT A net inflow is simple arithmetic. It is the money investors put into the fund minus the money they pulled out.
BlackRock does not keep that Bitcoin in its own vault. Custody of IBIT’s holdings sits with Coinbase Prime, the institutional arm of the US exchange.

The October 9 inflow came during a choppy stretch for the fund. On October 7, IBIT saw a $207.7 million outflow, a far larger move in the opposite direction.
Earlier in October, the fund pulled in $195.6 million within the first week of the month.
Bitcoin’s price has recently hovered in a range between $78,700 and $85,000.
The biggest fund in the room IBIT is BlackRock’s flagship US spot Bitcoin ETF. A spot ETF holds the actual asset rather than futures contracts, so every share is backed by real Bitcoin.
The fund is the largest US spot Bitcoin ETF by assets under management, and leads the category in cumulative flows. Total inflows since launch have exceeded $65 billion.
Broader US spot Bitcoin ETF flows were mixed in early October 2026. IBIT often led inflows on positive days, while the category as a whole saw periods of net outflows.
In July 2026, BlackRock cut the minimum threshold for in-kind Bitcoin-to-IBIT conversions from $25 million to $1 million. An in-kind conversion lets an investor hand over Bitcoin directly in exchange for ETF shares, instead of selling coins for cash first. The program has processed over $5 billion in such swaps.

Bitcoin [BTC] recently faced a sharp rally. However, it’s now showing signs of a potential cooling period. This has happened because investors have started booking substantial profits, despite the price struggling to break past the resistance level.
According to Santiment, Bitcoin recorded roughly $1.03 billion in realized profits in a single day recently. This marked the second-highest profit-taking event of 2026, just below the year’s peak of $1.04 billion.
Source: Santiment However, while profit-taking is a normal part of market cycles, large-scale selling can increase short-term selling pressure and make it harder for Bitcoin to sustain its upward momentum.
This, because the price of Bitcoin is also facing selling pressure. At the time of writing, it was trading at $82,406.58 after falling by 4.5% in a week.
At the same time, the RSI was also in the healthy range, suggesting that bulls may be outpacing bears. Meanwhile, the parallely running Bollinger Bands suggested that BTC entered a steady state with the price moving in a structured channel.
Source: Trading View Can buyers save Bitcoin from falling into sellers’ hands? Needless to say, Bitcoin did face rejection around the $86,500-resistance level. This happened because of significant sell orders that prevented the price from moving higher.
Following this rejection, the world’s largest cryptocurrency moved south toward areas with significant buy orders. In fact, the largest concentration of these bids was reportedly hovering around $81,000.
Source: Glassnode So, given the case in point, if buyers absorb the available selling pressure, this zone could help stabilize the price and act as short-term support. However, if selling intensifies or buyers withdraw their orders, support is not guaranteed to hold.
Still, one thing is clear – Existing holders and investors who accumulated BTC earlier have played a significant role in supporting the rally.
Source: Glassnode However, the reported decline in fresh capital flowing through ETFs, stablecoins, and corporate treasuries may be evidence that new demand may be weakening.
Existing holders can sustain an advance for some time, but stronger inflows from new investors would provide additional buying power and make the rally more sustainable.
Is Bitcoin in a flux? Maybe, especially in the aftermath of BTC ETFs seeing outflows worth $409.71 million in October so far. This implied that maybe everything is not rosy yet.
Source: SoSo Value As it stands, Bitcoin is facing a critical test between profit-taking and fresh demand. The $81,000-zone could provide support, while resistance near $86,500 – $87,000 remains a hurdle.
Final Summary Bitcoin faced rejection around the $86,500-resistance level, where substantial sell orders prevented the price from moving higher. BTC ETFs have recorded outflows worth $409.71 million in October so far.
Bitcoin has never looked calmer on paper. Its annualized realized volatility has settled into a range of 40% to 47% in 2026, a sharp drop from historical averages above 80%.
The catch is that the calm average hides something stranger underneath. According to CoinDesk, extreme price swings are now happening more often than they did in 2018, one of the most chaotic years in the asset’s history.
The numbers behind the calm Realized volatility measures how much an asset’s price actually moved over a given period. Bitcoin’s version of that figure now sits between 40% and 47% on an annualized basis, compared to earlier market cycles that routinely produced volatility readings above 80%.
Implied volatility has followed the same downward path. That figure comes from options prices and reflects how much movement traders expect going forward. Both the backward-looking and forward-looking gauges have been trending lower heading into 2026.
Then there is the less comfortable statistic. Volatility tied to sudden price jumps has climbed by 71% compared to the first year of spot Bitcoin ETF trading. Those jumps are the tail events, the moves far outside a normal day’s range, and they are now landing more frequently than they did in 2018.

A drawdown that broke the old pattern Bitcoin hit an all-time high around $126,200 in October 2025. From there, it slid to lows near $58,000 by mid-2026, a drawdown of approximately 53-54%.
Previous cycles saw the asset shed 70-82% after hitting a peak. As of early October 2026, Bitcoin was trading at roughly $85,000, leaving it about 32% below the prior year’s peak.
The staircase market The pattern now emerging has been described as staircase-style price action. Bitcoin climbs gradually, step by step, then drops abruptly when a correction hits.
That shape explains how average volatility and extreme swings can both move in opposite directions at once. Most days are quiet, which drags the average down. The sharp corrections, when they arrive, are concentrated and sudden, which pushes the tail-event count up.
The shift traces back to the post-2024 ETF era. Spot Bitcoin ETFs opened the door for institutional capital to flow into the asset through familiar brokerage accounts. Institutional participation has helped limit cascading liquidations, where leveraged positions get forcibly closed, triggering more selling and further forced closures. Fewer of those dominoes means shorter corrections and shallower overall drawdowns.
What this means for traders and investors For long-term investors, shallower drawdowns of around 53% compared to historical drops of 70-82% make Bitcoin easier to size into a diversified portfolio without one bad year sinking the whole strategy.
For active traders, low average volatility can encourage taking on more leverage, since daily swings feel manageable. When a tail event arrives, those positions are exactly the ones that get wiped out. The 71% rise in jump volatility since the first ETF year suggests that risk has grown, not shrunk.
If implied volatility keeps falling while sudden jumps keep rising, it could mean the market is underpricing the chance of a sharp move. Traders who sell options to collect premium in quiet conditions would be most exposed to that gap.
Buyers waiting for a classic 80% crash to load up may find this cycle does not deliver one. The drop from roughly $126,200 to near $58,000 shows the asset can still cut its value in half within months, but Bitcoin is spending more time behaving like a mature macro asset while its sharpest moments are arriving more often than in 2018.

ASML to Uniformly Hike Prices of Lithography Machine Components for Samsung and SK Hynix by 10%, As AI Production Expansion Boom Drives Up Equipment Costs.
According to South Korean media reports, ASML has notified Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix that it will implement a uniform 10% price increase on EUV and DUV lithography machine components for the South Korean market. The adjustment covers regularly replaced consumable parts and core components required for fault repairs, including optical systems, light sources, and precision drive units. After consultations between the procurement departments of both sides, the two memory chip giants have accepted the price hike plan, with the adjustment set to take effect in January next year. This uniform across-the-board price increase is relatively rare; ASML previously typically adjusted prices only individually for components facing rising raw material costs or tight supply of specific materials. Meanwhile, the company is in negotiations with key clients over price hikes for new equipment. According to earlier reports, equipment manufacturers including Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron have also raised product prices, and the price hike trend in the semiconductor equipment sector is spreading. AI data center investment is driving memory chip and foundry players to expand production capacity, leading to a concentrated surge in demand for equipment and components. With suppliers taking time to ramp up production, coupled with inflation and raw material cost pressures, bargaining power in the equipment supply chain is shifting toward suppliers. The report noted that TSMC had previously opposed ASML’s equipment price hikes, indicating that different clients still have varying levels of acceptance of rising costs.

Apple places a 30% additional order for iPhone Duo, while the total volume of the iPhone 18 Pro series remains unchanged.
According to sources from Apple's supply chain, the tech giant is making structural adjustments to its 2026 fall new iPhone orders: it has placed an additional 30% order for the iPhone Duo, though the total volume still remains below 10 million units; it has cut orders for the iPhone 18 Pro by 10% to 15%, while increasing orders for the iPhone 18 Pro Max by 10% to 15%, leaving the total order volume for the entire iPhone 18 Pro series unchanged. An Apple supply chain source said, "This means sales are shifting toward higher-value products, which is overall positive for the performance of Apple's supply chain companies."

Claude Code Projects has fully lifted its waitlist, enabling Pro and Max users who were on the waitlist to now use the service.
Beating AI Express (Insight) – Anthropic announced that all waitlisted Pro and Max tier users who applied for Claude Code Projects have now been granted testing access. The feature launched in September, initially available only to a small subset of users. While its scope has expanded, it remains in Beta testing and is not yet fully open to all paid subscribers. Claude Code Projects functions as a project management agent: users only need to submit requests, and it automatically splits tasks and assigns them to multiple concurrent Claude Code sessions. Each session independently writes code, runs tests, submits pull requests (PRs), and reports back to the manager, eliminating the need for users to assign tasks or track progress manually. These sessions share project data and memory, run on the cloud by default, and can continue operating even when the user’s computer is powered off. For tasks requiring local files or software, users can also designate execution on their own device.

Supermicro contractor pleads guilty; $2.5 billion server order tied to smuggling case.
Beating AI Express News: Ting-Wei Sun, a former contractor of Supermicro, has pleaded guilty in a New York federal court in the U.S. He was involved in illegally diverting servers equipped with NVIDIA high-end AI chips to China, admitting to four charges: conspiracy to violate export controls, conspiracy to smuggle, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, and obstruction of justice. Previously, U.S. prosecutors indicted three people total. Besides Sun, the defendants include Supermicro co-founder Yih-Shyan Liaw and Ruei-Tsang Chang, general manager of the company’s Taiwan office. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) disclosed earlier that between 2024 and 2025, a Southeast Asian middleman purchased approximately $2.5 billion worth of equipment from the involved U.S. server manufacturer. Prosecutors allege that at least $510 million worth of these servers were illegally diverted to China in just a few weeks in 2025. The involved servers were typically first shipped via Taiwan to Southeast Asia, then repackaged and sent to China. To evade inspections, the suspects placed thousands of non-functional dummy servers in warehouses and used hair dryers to remove labels and serial numbers. Prosecutors said Sun participated in arranging the dummy servers and made false statements during inspections by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Supermicro was not named as a defendant in the case and has cut ties with the three involved individuals. An independent investigation released by the company in August found no evidence that current executives were aware of the smuggling scheme.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $21.13 million in net inflows on October 9, according to data from SoSoValue. It’s a small number, but it arrived after a rough stretch.
The day before, the same group of funds bled $244.1 million.
Ethereum funds didn’t share the relief. Spot Ether ETFs shed $56.10 million on the same day, their ninth consecutive session of net outflows.
Who did the heavy lifting BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, ticker IBIT, did most of the work. It took in $22.38 million on its own, which is more than the entire category’s net figure.
VanEck’s HODL added $2.33 million.

Fidelity’s FBTC went the other direction, with $3.58 million in net withdrawals. The remaining products posted no net change for the day.
The bigger picture is still red Over the past five trading days, spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded cumulative net outflows of approximately $679 million.
Since the products launched in January 2024, cumulative net inflows have reached roughly $57.11 billion.
Total assets under management across the US spot Bitcoin ETFs now sit at around $105.84 billion. The cumulative inflow figure stands at about 6.38% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.
Ethereum’s losing streak keeps going The Ether side of the ledger tells a gloomier story. The $56.10 million outflow on October 9 marked the ninth straight day of net redemptions for spot Ethereum ETFs.
BlackRock’s ETHA accounted for a considerable share of that withdrawal. That’s an interesting split: the same issuer was the top buyer on the Bitcoin side and a major source of selling on the Ether side.
Major issuers in the space include BlackRock with IBIT and ETHA, Fidelity with FBTC and FETH, VanEck with HODL, and Grayscale with GBTC and ETHE.
Why daily flow data gets so much attention Spot ETFs hold the underlying asset directly. When money comes in, the fund generally needs to own more of the coin; when money leaves, it needs less.
That mechanical link is why trackers like SoSoValue and Farside Investors publish flow figures daily. Institutions watch the numbers as a rough read on how professional money feels about Bitcoin and Ether.
What this means for investors The concentration is worth noting. With IBIT supplying more than the net total by itself, the inflow depended heavily on a single product.
The split between the two assets is the most telling detail of the day. Investors aren’t abandoning crypto ETFs wholesale; on October 9, they were selectively adding to Bitcoin while trimming Ether.

Over $2.4 billion in crypto positions were liquidated this week as Bitcoin fell from $85.7K to $82.5K. Most of the damage landed on traders betting the price would go up.
The sell-off arrived during a rough stretch for markets in general, with bond yields climbing, oil getting expensive and money leaving Bitcoin ETFs.
How the week unfolded In early October 2026, Bitcoin dropped from near $86,600 to intraday lows of approximately $80,350.
Bitcoin pulled back from highs near $87,350 to lows of approximately $80,350–$82,900, depending on the session.
By October 9–10, the price had partly recovered to around $82,500.

Individual 24-hour sessions saw between $696 million and over $1.2 billion in positions wiped out. Added up across the week, the total cleared $2 billion. The figure in the original report puts it at over $2.4 billion.
Long positions made up roughly 85%-93% of liquidations over several days. In single sessions, the forced closures hit somewhere between 100,000 and 180,000 traders.
The broader market felt it too. Total crypto market capitalization dropped roughly $110 billion within 36 hours during the downturn.
The macro backdrop and the ETF exits US Treasury yields climbed upwards of 5.3% during the period, while oil prices moved above $101 per barrel.
US spot Bitcoin ETF flows also turned negative. On peak days, the outflows ran into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
On-chain data added another uncomfortable signal. Short-term holders reportedly sent 55,600 BTC to exchanges at a loss during the decline.
A leverage flush, not a full capitulation Open interest, the total value of outstanding futures and derivatives positions, barely moved and held steady near $150 billion.
It also invites comparison with the last big wipeout. In October 2025, a liquidation event erased $19 billion in positions.
What traders are watching now Technical levels sit around $82,500, with clusters between $81,000 and $84,000. Bitcoin’s partial recovery landed right on that $82,500 line.

Meanwhile, a life insurer licensed to operate completely in Bitcoin, announced $37.5 million in new funding from existing investors.
Bermuda-based Meanwhile, whose backers include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has now raised more than $180 million.
Bain Capital Crypto led the new round, alongside Haun Ventures, Framework Ventures, Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Morgan Creek Digital, it said in a statement.
The round follows increased international demand for Meanwhile’s Bitcoin life insurance policies, particularly in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, amid broader macro instability, according to the statement on Thursday.
“Wealthy families around the world already hold Bitcoin. What they haven’t had is a regulated way to pass it on,” Zac Townsend, Meanwhile’s co-founder and CEO, said in the statement. “Brokers came to us because their clients kept asking. This round lets us keep up with them.”
Passing Bitcoin to the next generationIn early 2026, Meanwhile launched BTC Life 1-Pay, a single-premium whole life policy built for high-net-worth clients outside the United States. It is the company’s second product line after BTC 10-Pay, which is designed for US taxpayers.
Policies can be owned by individuals, trusts or companies, which makes them a fit for succession and estate planning, the company said.
Net long-term underwriting income has already passed last year’s total and is on track to more than double in 2026, the company added, without revealing precise figures.
Cointelegraph reported in June that WTW, a global insurance broker and risk advisory company, had acquired crypto insurance platform Redefind and launched a digital asset protection service that covers expenses related to forensic investigations, asset tracing and legal recovery efforts following theft or loss.
Redefind is a crypto insurance platform that allows individuals and institutions to purchase coverage for digital assets held across different custody arrangements. The company said its system uses cryptographic proof of ownership to verify insured assets.

In this week’s edition of the weekly recap, Bitcoin lost its early-October gains as U.S. exchange-traded funds recorded heavy withdrawals, while the Treasury abandoned two proposed crypto reporting rules. OKX added institutional investors at a $25 billion valuation, and Ethereum developers advanced the network’s next upgrade.
Summary
Bitcoin recovered above $82,000 after falling toward $80,300, but remained lower over seven days. FinCEN withdrew proposed reporting rules covering self-custody wallets and foreign cryptocurrency mixing. OKX added Circle, Ripple, QRT and SC Ventures at a $25 billion pre-money valuation. Bitmine bought 15,112 ETH, raising its Ethereum treasury to more than 6 million tokens. IRS guidance preserved qualifying crypto trusts’ tax classification when staking assets under specified conditions. Bitcoin slides as ETF withdrawals accelerate Bitcoin recovered above $82,000 on Oct. 9 after briefly approaching $80,300. CoinGecko placed BTC near $82,365 during the report’s price check, still roughly 5% lower over seven days. The rebound followed President Donald Trump’s statement ruling out attacks on Iran before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, although he said the U.S. blockade would remain. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $484.9 million on Oct. 7, their largest daily withdrawal since June, followed by approximately $244 million on Oct. 8. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for $207.7 million of the earlier withdrawal, according to Farside Investors. Treasury abandons wallet and mixer proposals FinCEN withdrew two proposed rules through notices filed on Oct. 5. The 2020 wallet proposal would have required financial institutions to keep records for covered transfers above $3,000 and report transactions exceeding $10,000, including qualifying transfers involving self-custody wallets. The bureau also withdrew its 2023 foreign-mixing proposal and the related money laundering finding. FinCEN acknowledged concerns that its definition could discourage lawful activity and create substantial compliance costs. The agency said it would continue monitoring illicit finance, while Coin Center welcomed the withdrawals as a financial-privacy victory. OKX adds investors at $25 billion valuation OKX expanded its strategic investment round with Circle, Qube Research & Technologies, Ripple and Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures. Its Oct. 6 announcement valued the exchange at $25 billion before the new investment, extending the round started by Intercontinental Exchange in March. The four investors already work with OKX across stablecoins, liquidity and custody. CEO Star Xu said the capital would support growth and real-world asset tokenization. Earlier arrangements with ICE included plans for regulated U.S. futures infrastructure and tokenized NYSE equities, subject to regulatory approval. Bitmine’s Ethereum treasury reaches 6.02 million ETH Bitmine added another 15,112 ETH, taking its holdings to 6,016,414 tokens in its Oct. 5 update. The company valued the position at approximately $16.4 billion and said it represented 4.9% of Ethereum’s supply. Its staked balance stood at 5,067,309 ETH, worth roughly $13.8 billion. Bitmine projected $363 million in annual staking revenue using its reported seven-day annualized yield of 2.63%. IRS updates staking rules for qualifying trusts The IRS updated its staking framework on Oct. 6 through Revenue Procedure 2026-20. Eligible investment and grantor trusts can stake proof-of-stake assets while preserving their federal tax classification. Conditions cover exchange listings, custody, independent staking providers, and liquidity management. Rewards must generally reach holders within 60 days after the relevant quarter ends. The guidance addresses trust classification rather than granting a general tax exemption for staking income. Ethereum tests Glamsterdam on Sepolia Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade activated on the Sepolia testnet on Oct. 6, according to community contributor Pooja Ranjan. Testing included a 200 million gas limit, compared with roughly 60 million previously. The upgrade changes block production, execution, and gas accounting. Developers will use the results before setting the next testnet activation, while a final mainnet date remains unconfirmed. Coinbase prepares U.S. access to Deribit options Coinbase announced its Deribit integration on Oct. 7 following an Oct. 1 account migration. Eligible U.S. institutions will access options through Coinbase Prime and its CFTC-regulated futures intermediary. Coinbase expected institutional options trading to become available in the coming weeks. Its retail rollout would begin with eligible customers outside the United States, followed by American retail access later in 2026. Sui’s Hashi secures $500 million in commitments Sui Foundation announced Hashi’s launch coalition on Oct. 8, with more than $500 million in capital commitments and over 20 partners. A phased mainnet rollout was planned for later October. Anchorage Digital joined to provide institutional access through Atlas and Porto. Hashi will support Bitcoin-backed financial products on Sui; the committed capital represents planned backing rather than funds already deposited into live contracts. Ripple Prime expands its Brevan Howard agreement Ripple expanded its brokerage agreement with Brevan Howard, which oversees approximately $35 billion. The Oct. 6 announcement covered multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing across traditional and digital markets. Brevan Howard’s operations chief Alan McGroarty said the platform was expected to improve operational ease and capital efficiency. Funds managed by its affiliates had previously participated in Ripple’s 2025 strategic investment. CFTC seeks input on federal crypto trading frameworks The CFTC opened a public consultation on Regulation CTX and Regulation CAM on Oct. 5. Written comments are due within 60 days of Federal Register publication. Chair Michael Selig described a potential federal registration route for exchanges offering leveraged, margined or financed retail crypto transactions. He said compulsory registration would require congressional action, distinguishing the consultation from an adopted market-wide framework. Winklevoss proposes a spot Zcash ETF Winklevoss Asset Services filed a Zcash application with the SEC on Oct. 6, proposing a Nasdaq-listed spot ETF under WINK. Gemini Trust Company would custody its ZEC. The filing specifies cash-based share creations and redemptions, with the fund holding Zcash directly. Trading remains subject to regulatory clearance, and the application does not establish a launch date. Mashinsky accepts lifetime industry ban Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky agreed to lifetime restrictions under a New York settlement announced Oct. 9. The agreement bars him from the cryptocurrency, securities and commodities industries. Attorney General Letitia James said conditional payments could total $35 million, depending on additional federal forfeiture and whether he serves his full prison sentence. The settlement resolves the state’s 2023 civil lawsuit over Celsius’s promotion. ESMA sets stablecoin remediation deadline ESMA set a January deadline for clearing remaining exposure to non-MiCA-compliant stablecoins at authorized EU crypto firms. Its Oct. 8 opinion gives national regulators until Jan. 8, 2027 at the latest. Regulators may permit temporary liquidation, conversion, withdrawal and safekeeping services for existing customers. ESMA said firms should stop services that allow clients to acquire or increase exposure to affected tokens. XRP Ledger activates bundled transactions XRP Ledger activated its Batch feature on mainnet with support from 30 of 35 validators, according to XRPScan amendment data. Users can combine two to eight transactions in one operation. Official documentation specifies four execution modes, including an all-or-nothing option for linked transfers. Other modes allow one successful action, processing until failure, or independent attempts at each included transaction.
NEAR Protocol (NEAR): Trades near $4.79, below main resistance at $5.60, with $4.35 as key support. RSI in the mid-50s leaves room for a push, but a close above $5.00 is needed first.XRP (XRP): Trades near $1.38, on top of the 200-day average. RSI near 42 and low volume point to indecision, and the $1.33 to $1.40 range decides the next move.Shiba Inu (SHIB): Trades near $0.00000536 after falling below the 200-day average. The 100-day average near $0.00000529 is key support, and SHIB likely stays between $0.00000510 and $0.00000565.Bitcoin (BTC): Trades near $82,949 after bouncing from the 20-day average. The trend remains bullish, with $87,000 as resistance and $80,000 as the first support to watch.NEAR Rally Pauses Below $5.60 ResistanceNEAR trades near $4.79 after a rough few days. The coin ran from about $1.60 in late August to nearly $5.60 in late September, a gain of more than 250%. Since then, price has failed three times to close above $5.60, which makes that level the main ceiling.
NEAR/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe latest red candle was the biggest drop of the move. NEAR fell to $4.44 on high volume, then bounced and is now green. The low touched the 20-day average, which sits near $4.35, and buyers stepped in right there, which is a good sign. A bounce from a rising average often means the trend is still alive. The 50-day average is near $3.67 and the 200-day is near $2.45.

RSI has cooled from the overbought zone and now sits in the mid-50s. That removes some of the heat from the rally and leaves space for another push. Volume fell on today's bounce, so buyers still need to prove they are back.
The wider picture still favors bulls. Every moving average points up, and they sit in the right order. Price is far above all of them, so a pullback has lots of room before the trend breaks. A close above $5.60 would open a new high. If $4.35 breaks, expect a drop toward $3.80 and then the $3.60 area.
What happens next: The first goal is $5.00. A daily close above it would put $5.60 back in play. Until NEAR closes above $5.00, the price will likely move sideways between $4.35 and $5.60.
XRP Price Tests the 200-Day AverageXRP trades near $1.38 after falling from the $1.50 zone. The coin is now right on top of the 200-day average, the black line near $1.38. This is the most important level on the chart, and how XRP closes here will set the next move.
XRP/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe drop was sharp. A large red candle took price through the 20-day and 50-day averages. A long wick then reached $1.32 before buyers pushed price back up. That wick shows demand near the 100-day average, the orange line around $1.335. Earlier, XRP broke above a falling trend line in September and reached $1.65. That move was strong, but price could not hold above $1.55, and the coin has now given back most of those gains.

RSI is near 42, which is weak but not oversold. Volume on the latest candles is low. That means sellers are not very aggressive, but buyers are not either.
Above price, several averages bunch up between $1.40 and $1.46, and they will act as resistance. XRP needs a daily close above $1.46 to show real strength. If XRP holds the 200-day line and closes above $1.40, a move to $1.45 and then $1.50 is likely. If the line breaks, the next support is $1.33, followed by the $1.25 area, where price bounced in mid-September. A close below $1.25 would turn the trend bearish.
For now, the $1.33 to $1.40 range decides the next move.
SHIB Sellers Push Price Below the 200-Day LineSHIB trades near $0.00000536 after a sudden sell-off. Price fell from the $0.00000600 area and dropped below the 200-day average, the black line near $0.00000565. That was the main reason for the fall. SHIB could not hold above this line, and sellers took over fast.
SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe drop stopped at the orange line, the 100-day average near $0.00000529. A long wick went down to $0.00000510, but buyers pushed price back up. Today's candle is green, which shows some demand at this level. The 100-day line is now the key support.
RSI is near 45, which is neutral and slightly weak. Volume on the bounce is low, so buyers are not very confident yet. The drop itself came with higher volume, which gives sellers the edge for now.

Above price, there is a crowded zone. The 20-day and 50-day averages sit near $0.00000545 to $0.00000548, and the 200-day line is at $0.00000565. These levels will slow any bounce. SHIB needs a daily close above $0.00000565 to show real strength. If SHIB holds $0.00000529 and moves above $0.00000548, a test of $0.00000565 is likely. A close above that line could open the way to $0.00000600.
If $0.00000529 breaks, the next support is $0.00000500, where price bounced in mid-September. A close below $0.00000500 would put the $0.00000470 area in play.
For now, SHIB stays in a tight range between $0.00000510 and $0.00000565.
Healthy Pullback Within an UptrendBitcoin trades near $82,949 after a drop from the $87,000 area. Price fell to $80,300 and then bounced back, closing today in the green. The bounce came right at the 20-day average, the light blue line near $80,700. This is a healthy sign in an uptrend.
The 50-day average is near $79,800, the 100-day is near $75,900, and the 200-day is near $75,200. All the main averages point up, and price is well above all of them, so the trend is not in danger yet.
BTC/USDT Chart by TradingViewRSI is near 45. It cooled down from the high levels seen in August and September, which gives room for another move up without being overheated. The latest drop also came with the highest volume in weeks, so sellers are active.
The bigger picture is still bullish. Since August, BTC has climbed from $63,000 to $87,000. A close above $87,000 would open a path to new highs near $90,000.

BTC has failed twice to hold above $87,000, and that level is now strong resistance. If $80,000 breaks, the next support is the 50-day average near $79,800, then $77,000. A close below $75,000 would break the 100-day and 200-day lines and turn the trend weak.
The first goal is $85,000. A close above it would put $87,000 back in play. Until $75,000 breaks, buyers hold control, and dips toward $80,000 look like chances to buy.
Kripto para piyasasında satış baskısı devam ederken Bitcoin (BTC), 80.000 dolar seviyesinin üzerinde tutunmaya çalışıyor. 87.000 dolardan başlayan sert geri çekilmenin ardından 82.949 dolar civarında dengelenen Bitcoin’de yatırımcıların gözü kritik destek ve direnç seviyelerine çevrildi. Özellikle 80.000 dolar desteğinin korunup korunamayacağı, kısa vadeli fiyat hareketleri açısından büyük önem taşıyor. Piyasadaki belirsizlik sürerken XRP, NEAR ve Shiba Inu da satış baskısıyla karşı karşıya kalıyor. Analistler, Bitcoin’in önümüzdeki süreçte göstereceği performansın altcoin piyasasının yönü üzerinde de etkili olabileceğini değerlendiriyor.
Bitcoin’de 80.000 Dolar Desteği Neden Önemli? Bitcoin, 87.000 dolar direncini aşamamasının ardından artan satış baskısıyla birlikte 80.300 dolara kadar geriledi. Ancak 20 günlük hareketli ortalama olan 80.700 dolar çevresinden gelen alımlar, fiyatın yeniden toparlanmasını sağladı. Bu gelişme, piyasada alıcıların henüz kontrolü tamamen kaybetmediğine işaret ediyor. Teknik analizde 80.000 dolar seviyesi kritik destek olarak öne çıkarken, bu bölgenin kaybedilmesi durumunda satış baskısının daha da derinleşebileceği değerlendiriliyor. Olası düşüş senaryosunda 79.800 dolar ilk önemli destek noktası olarak izlenirken, bu seviyenin altında 77.000 dolar bölgesi gündeme gelebilir. Bitcoin’in 80.000 dolar üzerinde kalıcılık sağlaması ise kısa vadeli toparlanma beklentilerini destekleyebilir.
Bitcoin’in yeniden yükseliş ivmesi kazanabilmesi için 85.000 dolar üzerinde günlük kapanış gerçekleştirmesi gerekiyor. Bu senaryoda 87.000 dolar direnci yeniden test edilebilir. Teknik göstergeler ise temkinli bir görünüme işaret ediyor. RSI göstergesinin 45 seviyesine gerilemesi piyasadaki aşırı alım baskısının azaldığını gösterirken, düşüş sırasında işlem hacminin yükselmesi satıcıların hâlâ aktif olduğunu ortaya koyuyor.
Analizde dikkat çeken değerlendirme şöyle:
“Bitcoin’de 87.000 dolar seviyesi iki kez aşılamadı. Buna karşılık 80.000 doların üzerinde kalındığı sürece alıcıların kontrolü tamamen kaybetmediği görülüyor.”
XRP ve NEAR İçin Kritik Fiyat Seviyeleri Bitcoin’deki sert dalgalanmalar altcoin piyasasını da doğrudan etkilerken XRP ve NEAR Protocol kritik fiyat seviyelerinde işlem görmeye devam ediyor. XRP, 1,38 dolar civarında dengelenmeye çalışırken yatırımcıların gözü 1,40 dolar direncine çevrildi. Bu seviyenin aşılması ve üzerinde kalıcı kapanışların gerçekleşmesi durumunda fiyatın önce 1,45 dolar, ardından 1,50 dolar seviyesine doğru yükseliş göstermesi mümkün olabilir. Ancak satış baskısının yeniden artması halinde 1,33 dolar desteği kritik önem taşıyor. Bu bölgenin kaybedilmesi, XRP’de düşüş riskini artırabilir.
NEAR Protocol tarafında ise 4,79 dolar seviyesi yakından takip ediliyor. Son dönemde yaşanan sert fiyat hareketlerinin ardından toparlanma sinyalleri veren NEAR için 5,00 dolar direnci kısa vadeli yön açısından belirleyici konumda bulunuyor. Fiyatın bu seviyenin üzerinde günlük kapanış gerçekleştirmesi, 5,60 dolar direncine doğru yeni bir yükseliş hareketinin önünü açabilir. Buna karşılık 5,00 doların aşılamaması durumunda fiyatın bir süre daha yatay seyretmesi ve 4,35 dolar desteğine doğru geri çekilmesi ihtimali gündemde kalıyor.
Yatırımcıları Ne Bekliyor? Genel değerlendirmede Bitcoin’in 80.000 dolar seviyesinin üzerinde kalıcılık sağlaması, kripto para piyasasının kısa vadeli yönü açısından belirleyici olacak. Özellikle 85.000 dolar direncinin aşılması, piyasadaki toparlanma beklentilerini güçlendirerek Bitcoin’in yeniden 87.000 dolar seviyesine yönelmesini sağlayabilir. Ancak 80.000 dolar desteğinin kaybedilmesi durumunda satış baskısının derinleşmesi ve fiyatın daha düşük destek bölgelerine gerilemesi ihtimali gündeme gelebilir. Öte yandan Bitcoin’deki fiyat hareketlerinin XRP, NEAR ve Shiba Inu gibi altcoinler üzerinde de etkili olması bekleniyor. Bu nedenle yatırımcıların önümüzdeki süreçte Bitcoin’in kritik destek ve direnç seviyelerini, işlem hacmini ve piyasa momentumunu yakından takip etmesi önem taşıyor.

Hacker who stole funds from Ledger transferred $1.07 million worth of ETH to Tornado Cash, with some of the funds flowing into Binance’s hot wallet.
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the suspected hackers linked to the recent crypto heist involving Ledger reseller CryptoBillis — with the stolen amount reportedly nearly $90 million — have transferred 430.2 ETH, valued at around $1.07 million, to Tornado Cash via four wallets. After Tether froze some of the related funds, the suspects reportedly began converting USDT to USDD via SUN.io and USDD’s Peg Stability Module (PSM), while another portion of the funds flowed into Binance’s hot wallet. The suspected wallets flagged by Onchain Lens currently hold approximately $70.6 million in assets, including 11,406 ETH (worth ~$28.35 million), 213.371 BTC (~$17.65 million), 13.646 million USDD (~$13.65 million), and 10.909 million USDT (~$10.91 million). As on-chain funds continue to move, the above tracking data and suspect associations remain to be further verified.

Former Mt.Gox CEO claims to have discovered Ledger hardware wallets implanted with spy modules, which can send mnemonic phrase information via LTE.
Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès revealed in a post that a Ledger hardware wallet he received is suspected to have an implanted spy module. The device originated from Malaysia; its outer packaging’s heat-shrink film was intact, and anomalies were not immediately noticeable upon opening. The implant was hidden in the position of the screen’s original buffer pad. Karpelès further detailed that the module contains LTE communication components, an antenna, eSIM, and a microcontroller connected to Ledger’s SPI bus. It can analyze characters displayed on the device to users and exfiltrate relevant data after the mnemonic phrase is configured. Attackers may subsequently monitor the victim’s wallet address and transfer assets at an opportune moment. He urged users to inspect their devices in accordance with Ledger’s official guidance.

某用户6月抄底80枚BTC浮盈138万美元，一周前存入Ledger现已全部被盗
According to Lookonchain’s monitoring, a user purchased 80 BTC for approximately $65,000 around four months ago, with a total investment of about $5.2 million. The user once recorded an unrealized profit of roughly $1.38 million. However, the user bought a Ledger hardware wallet from third-party dealer CryptoBillis a week ago and transferred all 80 BTC into it, only to have the entire funds stolen now. This incident is linked to recent fund thefts involving multiple CryptoBillis clients, though whether the devices were tampered with, the specific attack method, and the attacker’s identity remain unconfirmed.

Investor Loses 80 $BTC ($5.2M) After Buying Compromised Ledger From Reseller
Poor guy! 4 months ago, he bought 80 $BTC ($5.2M) at a low price of ~$65,000 and was sitting on a $1.38M profit. But a week ago, he bought a Ledger device from reseller CryptoBillis and deposited all 80 $BTC into it. Now he's lost everything.
In brief Bitcoin rebounded 1.38% to $82,837 on Friday after dipping to $80,427 on Thursday, while total crypto market cap rose 2% to $2.8 trillion and the Fear & Greed Index fell to a neutral 56. Bitcoin ETFs shed $484.9 million on Wednesday and $244 million on Thursday as the 10-year Treasury yield hit 5.32%, and Fed minutes point to another hike by year-end. Myriad traders give a 67% chance Bitcoin trades at or below $80,000 before October ends. The crypto markets are breathing today, with the total capitalization up 2.1% to $2.89 trillion on Friday. The bounce recovers only part of the damage, since the market stood above $3 trillion a week ago, when Bitcoin was pressing against its yearly high.
Despite the recovery, traders are still nervous. The Fear & Greed Index dropped to 56, a neutral reading, down from the 71 that put sentiment firmly in “greed” territory on October 2.
Myriad: How low will Bitcoin go? Click to make your prediction.Wall Street is also nervous. Bitcoin ETFs alone shed $484.9 million on Wednesday, their worst day since June 25, and a further $244 million on Thursday, according to Decrypt's ETF tracker.
Bitcoin trades around $82,837 on Friday, up 1.38% on the day, after dipping to $80,427 on Thursday, its lowest level since early September.
Bitcoin ETF flows. Image: DecryptThe daily candle opened at $81,711 and has ranged between $81,553 and $83,443. On the four-hour chart, price still trades below the 50-period exponential moving average, so the short-term trend has not turned.
Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt's parent company Dastan, gives a 67% chance that Bitcoin trades at or below $80,000 at some point in October, with 40% odds for $77,500 and 24% for $75,000.
Bitcoin price data. Image: TradingviewA separate weekly market put 49% odds on Bitcoin finishing the week above $87,500 so traders expect a month of price compression with some space for further downside.
The Average Directional Index, or ADX, which measures trend strength regardless of direction, reads 37.9 on the daily chart, well above the 25 level that confirms a real trend. The directional lines show buyers (DI+) above sellers (DI-), so the trend is still bullish even after the pullback.
The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, gauges buying pressure on a scale of 0 to 100, and its 51.2 reading is neutral, just like the Fear and Greed Index. This is worth checking out, because Bitcoin appears to be cooling down after an overbought phase.
Bitwise Europe's Luke Deans told Decrypt that the $83,000 zone combines the average ETF cost basis with the prior higher-high level, which makes it the first test for the bounce.
Reclaiming it would put the price zone at $84,433 in play, while the September high at $87,354.33 remains the ceiling bulls need a daily close above.

Companies are still buying Bitcoin in 2026. Most of them just aren’t the ones doing it.
Businesses have added 193,000 BTC so far this year, according to a River Financial report published on October 8, 2026. Over the same stretch, individuals were net sellers of 93,000 BTC.
The corporate bid, by the numbers River’s figures put total corporate Bitcoin holdings at 1.64 million BTC. That equals 7.8% of the total Bitcoin supply.
This is the second straight year businesses have been the largest net buyers of Bitcoin, per the report.
Year-to-date business inflows came to $15.7 billion. River’s data shows that is down approximately two-thirds from where things stood at this point in 2025.
The concentration is the real story. Strategy and Strive together added 197,000 BTC, which River says accounts for more than 100% of net business purchases. Strategy alone now holds 848,000 BTC.
Every other Bitcoin treasury company combined contributed just 8,000 BTC.
Miners and individuals move the other way Bitcoin miners are on the opposite side of the trade. River’s report shows miners net sold 32,800 BTC this year.
According to the report, miners sold to fund spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Individuals have had a more complicated year. River’s data shows they were net sellers of approximately 140,000 BTC in the first half of 2026. Then the direction changed.
In the third quarter, individuals flipped to net accumulation of 107,000 BTC. Even with that rebound, the year-to-date total still shows individuals as net sellers of 93,000 BTC.
How we got here River ties the slowdown to fading momentum in Bitcoin treasury strategies after the 2025 crypto bull market. The 2026 numbers show what happens after the party. River’s framing points to reduced demand for the treasury model itself, not just a pause in purchasing.
What this means For anyone watching Bitcoin’s supply and demand, the headline business number can be misleading. A 193,000 BTC net purchase reads like broad institutional adoption. In practice, it reflects the conviction of two companies, offset by net selling from the rest of the corporate field.
The report also suggests corporations may adopt more conservative treasury strategies going forward.
The miner data adds another wrinkle. Selling to fund AI infrastructure means a portion of new Bitcoin supply is being converted into capital for a separate industry. If that shift continues, miner selling may become tied to AI spending cycles rather than just Bitcoin’s own economics.
Their Q3 swing to net buying of 107,000 BTC is the most notable change in direction in the report.
