TLDR

Sweden is considering establishing a national Bitcoin reserve to enhance its financial strategy and diversify state assets.
The proposal highlights Bitcoin’s potential as a hedge against inflation and a complementary asset to gold and foreign exchange reserves.
Lawmakers argue that Bitcoin’s global liquidity and capped supply make it an attractive addition to Sweden’s financial reserves.
The motion calls for the government to ensure that Bitcoin’s legal status remains unchanged and unaffected by future policy shifts.
Sweden’s growing interest in Bitcoin aligns with a broader trend of countries accumulating Bitcoin as a strategic financial asset.

Sweden could soon establish a national Bitcoin reserve, positioning itself as a key player in the global financial landscape. On October 1, a parliamentary motion titled “A Swedish Bitcoin Strategy” was introduced by Dennis Dioukarev and David Perez of the Sweden Democrats. The motion calls on the government to explore the creation of a Bitcoin reserve to complement existing financial assets like gold and foreign exchange reserves.

Proposal for National Bitcoin Reserve
The proposed Bitcoin reserve would aim to diversify Sweden’s financial holdings, as it faces growing geopolitical uncertainty. According to the lawmakers, Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against inflation and provide liquidity during crises.

“We believe that Bitcoin is an asset that can offer financial security and stability,” Dioukarev said in a statement.

The motion outlines the potential benefits of adding Bitcoin to Sweden’s reserves. These include diversification, as Bitcoin’s value is independent of any single country’s monetary policy. The lawmakers argue that the cryptocurrency’s capped supply and global liquidity make it an attractive addition to state-held assets.

Additionally, the proposal emphasizes the growing importance of digital innovation. Bitcoin’s rise has led some countries, including the United States, to establish national reserves. Sweden, the motion argues, should also capitalize on this trend to remain competitive on the global stage.

Political Context and Strategic Rationale
The Swedish motion follows a broader trend of countries accumulating Bitcoin as a strategic asset. In the United States, lawmakers recently advanced the GENIUS Act, which supports the creation of a national Bitcoin reserve. Similarly, the UK and Finland have accumulated Bitcoin through legal seizures, and other nations like the Czech Republic are exploring similar options.

Sweden’s proposal comes amid rising calls for financial sovereignty. Lawmakers argue that Bitcoin could safeguard Sweden’s financial autonomy in an increasingly uncertain global landscape.

“In the face of global financial instability, Bitcoin offers an alternative that is not tied to traditional monetary policies,” said Perez.

The Swedish motion also seeks to ensure that Bitcoin’s legal status remains intact. The proposal requests that the government confirm it will not alter the legal definition of tender or introduce a central bank digital currency. This will ensure that Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset remains unaffected by future legislative changes.

Sweden’s stance toward cryptocurrency has been cautious in recent years, with regulators tightening rules on exchanges and miners. However, recent developments suggest that the country is becoming more open to digital assets. Several Swedish companies, including H100 Group AB and Refine Group AB, have recently added Bitcoin to their balance sheets as a treasury asset.

The motion suggests a budget-neutral approach for acquiring Bitcoin reserves. Law enforcement agencies would transfer seized Bitcoin to the Riksbank or another designated authority, rather than auctioning it off. This could help Sweden build a Bitcoin reserve without additional state spending, as the assets are already in government possession.

Bitcoin is now back trading above $115,000, but the recovery comes with a shadow that cannot be ignored. A new gap opened on the CME Bitcoin futures chart, and while the spot market has pushed higher since then, the presence of this gap opens up a bearish scenario. These gaps have a history of pulling Bitcoin back down to fill them, and the most recent one opens up questions about how long the current bullish momentum can last.

Bitcoin Opens Up Huge CME Gap
Crypto analyst Daan Crypto noted on the social media platform X how Bitcoin opened the week with a huge CME gap that has continued higher since the futures open. This gap is important, as it has been a while since Bitcoin opened with such a huge gap.

As shown in the chart image below, this CME gap is between $110,000 and $111,300. Gaps on CME futures have a tendency to close fairly quickly, meaning that Bitcoin often retraces to the level of the gap before resuming its trend. If that happens this time, the short-term structure of Bitcoin’s price action could deteriorate into a bearish momentum. 

Source: Chart from Daan Crypto Trades on X
However, Daan also noted that this gap should not be considered in play unless Bitcoin drops below $111,000. But if that happens, the futures chart could drag spot prices lower and turn recent strength into weakness.

What Does This Mean For Bitcoin?
A CME gap occurs because the Chicago Mercantile Exchange does not trade over the weekend, unlike the spot Bitcoin market, which operates 24/7. When Bitcoin makes a big move on Saturday or Sunday, CME futures reopen on Sunday evening at a different level than they closed on Friday, and this leaves an empty gap on the price chart. 

It’s common knowledge that Bitcoin tends to fill these gaps by returning to the level of the gap before continuing in its trend. If Bitcoin retraces to close this latest gap between the $110,000 to $111,000 range, it would erase the recovery that pushed it to $115,000 and bring the price back into a zone of uncertainty.

According to Daan Crypto, if that were to happen here, then the entire structure would look pretty bad in the short term. However, this might be one of those very few gaps that never closes or not until months later. This would most likely be the case, unless Bitcoin breaks below $111,000. A dip below $111,000 could ultimately see Bitcoin losing the $110,000 price level again. 

If Bitcoin can stay above $115,000 and there’s enough buying pressure, then the gap can be ignored in the short term. The next test will be whether buyers can sustain the recently found momentum and push towards $120,000.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $116,380, up by 1.4% in the past 24 hours.

Institutional investors gain discounted access to AVAX and active treasury management as public debut targets enhanced token utility.

Key Takeaways

Avalanche Treasury Co. (AVAT) will merge with Mountain Lake to create a public vehicle for AVAX exposure.
AVAT offers institutional investors discounted access to AVAX and aims to accumulate over $1 billion in AVAX assets after going public.

Avalanche Treasury Co. (AVAT), a dedicated digital asset treasury company designed to strengthen the Avalanche ecosystem, is set to go public through a merger deal with Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp. (MLAC) valued at over $675 million, according to a Wednesday statement.

The transaction includes approximately $460 million in treasury assets post–private placement financing and aims to create a leading public vehicle for AVAX exposure. The combined company is expected to debut on Nasdaq in Q1 2026, pending approvals.

Operating in close partnership with the Avalanche Foundation, AVAT is launching with an initial AVAX token purchase at a discounted market price and will have an 18-month priority on Avalanche Foundation sales to US digital asset treasury companies.

The structure delivers exposure at a 0.77x NAV multiple, giving investors a 23% cheaper entry point than direct AVAX or ETF alternatives.

“Many institutions have difficulty accessing digital assets or are limited to holding native tokens without yield or ecosystem integration. We created Avalanche Treasury Co. to offer something we believe will be more valuable than passive exposure,” said AVAT CEO Bart Smith.

The company aims to accumulate more than $1 billion worth of AVAX after going public. Ava Labs founder Emin Gün Sirer will serve as strategic advisor, while Chief Business Officer John Nahas will join the public company’s board.

“We are very pleased to welcome AVAT to the Avalanche ecosystem,” said Emin Gün Sirer. “I’m honored to support them as an advisor. Their participation reflects the growing sophistication and momentum shaping Avalanche’s future.”

According to Paul Grinberg, Chairman & CEO of MLAC, the transaction reflects confidence in AVAT’s ability to execute at scale through an experienced team and advisory group.

“Avalanche’s architecture addresses real enterprise needs in ways other protocols simply don’t,” Grinberg stated. “What attracted us to this transaction is AVAT’s operational mandate and building a treasury that actively drives token utility and adoption, not just buying and holding.”

The transaction attracted investment from major institutions, including Dragonfly, ParaFi Capital, VanEck, FalconX, Galaxy Digital, Pantera Capital, CoinFund, IMC, Kraken, and others. FalconX will provide execution and credit services, while Monarq will serve as an asset manager for AVAT.

South Korea’s SK Planet, part of SK Group, has announced plans to purchase MOCA Coin (MOCA) on the open market as it adopts Moca Network’s decentralized identity (DID) infrastructure. 

The initiative will introduce zero-knowledge proof technology and decentralized identity verification across SK Planet’s ecosystem, which serves 28 million users and 95,000 merchant partners.

Enterprise-scale decentralized identity
Moca Network, a project by Animoca Brands, is building a chain-agnostic identity layer designed to give users ownership of their data while ensuring interoperability across platforms. 

By integrating AIR Account and AIR Identity, SK Planet aims to allow merchants to verify user information with explicit consent, while ensuring that private data remains under user control.

“Partnering with Moca Network enables SK Planet to bring decentralized identity and privacy-preserving verification to our millions of customers and merchant partners,” said Kyosu Kim, chief business officer at SK Planet. “By leveraging AIR Kit and AIR Wallet, we can expand the benefits of OKI Club and reward our users with MOCA Coin while giving them greater control over their data. This is a strategic step forward in aligning with global standards for user privacy and digital identity.”

Kenneth Shek, project lead of Moca Network, added: 

“SK Planet’s purchase of MOCA Coin as well as its integration of AIR Kit infrastructure and adoption of zero-knowledge proofs mark an important milestone in returning data ownership to users at an enterprise scale.”

The partnership builds on the February 2025 launch of SK Planet’s OKI Club, which integrated AIR Wallet to let users earn and manage rewards. The company now plans to extend these capabilities with AIR Identity, enabling users to verify credentials and access rewards across multiple platforms, with features including token swaps and staking.

According to social posts and on-chain trackers, XRP appears poised for a sharp move that could leave little time for slow decisions. Trader Altcoin Gordon cautioned that XRP’s upcoming move might unfold quickly and with force, telling traders to be ready before it takes off.

Price has been stuck below $3 for weeks, and September produced no clear upward momentum, leaving traders on edge as regulators and markets add to uncertainty.

Trader Warning Spurs Urgency
Short-term charts show XRP compressing after a slide that began in July when the token crossed $3.60. Based on reports, Gordon’s shared chart points to prices tightening toward a breakout point.

Compression like this stores volatility. It does not promise an uptrend, but when a move comes it can be abrupt. Some traders see that as an opportunity; others see a risk of chasing a quick spike.

Mark my words, the next leg up for $XRP will be fast and aggressive.

You’re either positioned BEFORE it happens, or begin for an entry once it does.

Connect the dots or stay broke. pic.twitter.com/QCCFxyJe4P

— Gordon (@AltcoinGordon) September 29, 2025

Compression And Historical Runs
Reports have disclosed that research groups, including Sistine Research, say this is the third major compression since the last US election cycle.

Past compressions have been followed by big moves. In late 2024, XRP rose from $0.50 to above $3.40 within weeks — a rapid jump that surprised many.

Analysts now point to a range of possible outcomes, with targets that span from $8 to as much as $33 on extreme scenarios based on extensions and past cycle math. Those top-end figures are outliers and should be treated with caution.

XRPUSD now trading at $2.94. Chart: TradingView
On-Chain Flows
On-chain data from Santiment shows large wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP added over $300 million in three days.

Those wallets now hold close to 8 billion XRP, levels last seen in August before earlier rallies. Such accumulation can be bullish, though it can also set up fast squeezes that benefit early sellers.

Momentum, ETFs And Market Sentiment
Meanwhile, market chatter has been shaped by hopes around potential XRP-based ETFs, with a key US decision expected in October. If approvals arrive, funds could flow in quickly.

If regulators delay or deny listings, sentiment could reverse. At the same time, broader crypto strength in Bitcoin and Ethereum has helped lift appetite for large-cap altcoins, and derivatives data shows rising futures volume and open interest around XRP.

XRP Price Action
XRP climbed to $2.94 today, up 3.30% as ETF hopes and technical setups drew attention. The $3.00 mark has become a near-term psychological target for some traders.

Whatever happens next, the market looks set for higher volatility. Investors will need both timing and discipline to navigate whichever direction the next move takes.

Coinbase app integrating 1inch API to enhance token swapsDeFi

Quick Take
Coinbase app will integrate a 1inch swap API that will enhance non-custodial token swaps, the companies announced.
“The integration of the 1inch Swap API by Coinbase represents the DEX aggregator’s most significant U.S. client to date,” they said.
Coinbase's app will integrate a 1inch Swap API aimed at enhancing non-custodial token swaps, the companies said Wednesday.

"The integration of the 1inch Swap API by Coinbase represents the DEX aggregator’s most significant U.S. client to date," according to a statement.

Coinbase appears dedicated to growing decentralized exchange trading across its customer base. In August, the centralized exchange (CEX) said it was launching a DEX integration to give traders the ability to buy and sell "millions" of digital assets previously unavailable to users. The move came on the heels of Coinbase reporting a decline in spot trading volumes and revenue for the second quarter.

Teaming up with 1inch may help boost Coinbase's prospects as it seeks to grow its market footprint. 1inch is a DeFi ecosystem that has 25 million users and handles over $500 million in daily trades, according to the company.

"Together we’re enabling seamless access to DEXes within the Coinbase app," Coinbase's Head of Trading Scott Shapiro said.

In August, 1inch introduced native swaps between Solana and EVM networks, aiming to improve liquidity across ecosystems.

1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz said his company's "non-custodial swap products are the ideal solution for centralized players across both crypto and TradFi as they move to bring assets on-chain in a seamless and secure way."

Coinbase expanding into DeFi also folds into the exchange's plans to position itself as an "everything exchange" where users can trade tokenized stocks or bet on the outcomes of specific events via a prediction similar to Polymarket and Kalshi.

NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Quantum Corporation (NASDAQ: QMCO) between November 15, 2024 and August 18, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important November 3, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Quantum Corporation securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Quantum Corporation class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=43932 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 3, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Quantum Corporation improperly recognized revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025; (2) as a result, Quantum Corporation would need to restate its previously filed financial statements for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2024; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A quiet corner of the tech market has suddenly become the center of attention. Shares of Datavault AI NASDAQ: DVLT, an artificial intelligence (AI) and data monetization company, have skyrocketed over 300% in the last 30 days, placing the stock on trending lists and capturing the interest of growth-focused investors.

For many, a surge of this magnitude raises a critical question: Is this a sustainable breakout or just a temporary, hype-driven rally? A closer look at the events driving this move reveals a rally built on a solid foundation. The company has recently secured a substantial capital infusion and a strategic technology partnership with a major industry player, signaling a significant shift in its operational and investment profile.

A Nine-Figure Deal Fortifies the Balance Sheet
For any small-cap technology company, securing adequate funding is a primary challenge. In late September 2025, Datavault AI announced a strategic investment agreement with Scilex Holding Company NASDAQ: SCLX for $150 million. This deal effectively addresses one of the most significant risks for investors in this space: the constant threat of cash burn and the potential for future stock offerings that can dilute the value of existing shares.

The investment, notably executed in Bitcoin, is structured in two parts. An initial tranche of approximately $8 million has already closed, with the remainder subject to shareholder approval. This capital is to be used for operations and serves as growth fuel earmarked for specific, high-potential projects. To put this into perspective, Datavault AI reported revenue of $1.74 million in the second quarter of 2025. This nine-figure investment represents a monumental increase in the resources at its disposal. According to the company, the funds will be used to:

Build out a proprietary supercomputer infrastructure.
Expand its independent data exchanges, with a strategic focus on the valuable biotech sector.

For investors, this infusion provides a long operational runway, allowing Datavault AI to execute its ambitious growth plans from a position of financial strength rather than necessity.

A Blue-Chip Seal of Approval
Days after securing its financial future, Datavault AI announced a move that provided an endorsement of its core technology. The company announced a multi-million-dollar resource commitment from International Business Machines NYSE: IBM, a global leader in artificial intelligence. This partnership is a signal of deep validation from one of the most respected names in the tech industry, targeting a generative AI market that analysts project could add up to $4.4 trillion in annual economic value.

The commitment includes an estimated $5 million worth of professional services, providing Datavault AI with access to 20,000 hours of expertise from IBM's elite solution architects and AI engineers. This collaboration is designed to accelerate Datavault AI’s product roadmap by integrating its platform with IBM's respected watsonx.ai and watsonx.governance technologies. For a small company, this kind of third-party validation is invaluable. It suggests that after extensive due diligence, IBM sees significant potential in Datavault AI’s technology. This external seal of approval dramatically reduces the perceived technology risk for investors and elevates the company's credibility in a competitive market.

Immediate Execution: From News to Action
A key question for investors following major company announcements is "What's next?" Datavault AI provided a swift and tangible answer. On October 1, the company demonstrated its ability to immediately leverage its newfound momentum by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Korea Aerospace University (KAU).

This strategic move leverages the company's patented VerifyU™ platform to enter the high-value aerospace sector. The partnership aims to pioneer digital credentialing for the industry, beginning with a pilot identity verification initiative in Korea. This development serves as immediate, tangible proof that the company's leadership is effectively converting its recent strategic wins into actionable business development. For investors, it is a key indicator of effective management, showing that the company is already unlocking new, global revenue opportunities.

Current Price$1.36High Forecast$11.00Average Forecast$7.00Low Forecast$3.00Datavault AI Stock Forecast Details

With these catalysts in place, Wall Street is taking notice. Analysts have assigned a consensus Strong Buy rating to the stock, with an average 12-month price target of $7.00. Set against a current market capitalization of approximately $233 million, this target implies substantial upside potential if the company executes its newly funded initiatives.

One notable metric is the stock's short interest, which stood at over 20% of the public float as of mid-September. While this indicates a portion of the market remains skeptical, it also introduces the potential for a short squeeze. If Datavault AI continues to deliver on its plans, traders who bet against the stock may be forced to buy shares to cover their positions, a dynamic that can amplify upward price movement.

Taken together, the recent events represent a fundamental inflection point. Datavault AI has successfully secured its financial future, gained a powerful technology endorsement from an industry leader, and demonstrated its ability to execute on its growth strategy. For investors, this combination of a fortified balance sheet, validated technology, and proven momentum has fundamentally improved the company's risk profile, making it a compelling name to watch in the evolving AI landscape.

MIAMI, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shamis & Gentile, P.A, (“Shamis & Gentile”) issues this corrected notice to clarify the deadline to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff in the securities class action lawsuit Shamis & Gentile filed against Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:CHTR) and certain of its officers and/or directors (collectively, “Defendants”). The original notice issued on August 15, 2025 inadvertently stated that the deadline to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff is October 13, 2025. The correct deadline to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff is October 14, 2025.

The class action, captioned Sandoval v. Communications, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-06747, filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, is on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Charter common stock, purchased call options on Charter common stock, or sold put options on Charter common stock, between July 26, 2024 and July 24, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), and were damaged thereby (the “Class”). The class action is brought under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. Sections 78j(b) and 78t(a); and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the SEC, 17 C.F.R. Section 240.10b-5.

If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired Charter common stock, and/or traded the relevant Charter options, during the Class Period, you have until October 14, 2025 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the Class. For more information go to:

Charter Securities Fraud Class Action

Impacted investors may also contact attorney David Abel at [email protected] or (305) 479-2299. There is no cost or obligation to you.

Charter is a leading broadband connectivity company and cable operator. The Company operates in 41 states with services available to more than 57 million homes and businesses.

The class action complaint alleges Defendants failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and outlook. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the impact of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) Affordable Connectivity Program ("ACP") end was a material event the Company was unable to manage or promptly move beyond; (ii) the ACP end was having a sustaining impact on Internet customer declines and revenue; (iii) neither was the Company executing broader operations in a way that would compensate for, or overcome the impact, of the ACP ending; (iv) the Internet customer declines and broader failure of Charter’s execution strategy created much greater risks on business plans and earnings growth than reported; (v) accordingly, the Company had no reasonable basis to state the Company was successfully executing operations, managing causes of Internet customer declines, or provide overly optimistic statements about the long term trajectory of the Company and EBITDA growth; and (vi) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants materially misled with, and/or lacked a reasonable basis for, their positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, outlook during the Class Period.

On July 25, 2025, Charter issued a press release announcing second quarter 2025 financial results. The Company reported EBITDA of $5.7 billion, which suggested 0.5% growth year-over-year. However, analysts and investors quickly realized that the so-called growth was on account of a $45 million one-time benefit to “other revenue.” Had this event been excluded, EBITDA would have missed consensus estimates by 2.4% and shown a second quarter decline of 0.3% year-over-year.

At the same time, Charter reported total Internet customers decreased by 117,000 for the second quarter of 2025. The decline of Internet customers was nearly double from the 66,000 reported in the prior quarter. Internet customer declines had also increased year-over-year when compared to a loss of 99,000 customers reported in the second quarter of 2024.

These events caused Charter’s stock price to fall $70.25 per share, or 18.4%, to close at $309.75 per share on July 25, 2025.

If you suffered a loss in Charter stock or the relevant options, you have until October 14, 2025 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

SANTA MONICA, CA, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beauty innovator Oliveda International, Inc. (OTCID: OLVI) and its Olive Tree People Inc. subsidiary will be rolling out the longest red carpet ever for ancient olive trees and 69,000 waterless beauty pioneers this weekend in downtown Los Angeles. The companies are creating a once-in-a-lifetime art installation in conjunction with the Million Dollar Theatre on South Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.

The fastest-growing waterless beauty company, Olive Tree People Inc., and the largest olive tree conservation organization are creating a once-in-a-lifetime art installation in downtown Los Angeles and are rolling out what is likely the longest red carpet in history for olive trees and its 69,000 waterless beauty pioneers.

With the kind permission of the City of Los Angeles, the entire stretch of South Broadway will be closed to allow for this very special event.

With this unique art installation featuring hundreds of ancient olive trees on South Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, Olive Tree People will give these magical trees a voice, even allowing their unique frequencies to be heard, creating a magical experience together with artist and two-time Grammy Award-winner, Colbie Caillat.

Founder and CEO Thomas Lommel, commented, "When we first made our olive trees and their frequencies available to everyone in 2015, I dreamed of holding such a concert in downtown LA.

“With this unique event at the Million Dollar Theatre, the oldest theater in Los Angeles and the world's only olive tree art installation, we want to honor the 7,000-year history of olive trees and celebrate our 69,000 waterless beauty pioneers who, in less than two years, have launched the waterless beauty movement in North America on its way to Europe and the rest of the world.

“Waterless beauty is much more than just the new clean beauty. It's where self-love begins and is, therefore, the fastest-growing sector in the entire global beauty industry with Olive Tree People as the pioneer and leading company. In recent months, under the umbrella of Olive Tree People, we have developed new, innovative, and truly unique products and brands, which we are presenting today to our 69,000 Waterless Beauty pioneers and will subsequently introduce to the rest of the world through our Waterless Beauty education program. All of these new products and brands are innovative and, therefore, unique worldwide, based on Waterless Beauty formulations and the unique active ingredient hydroxytyrosol.

“With these unique products and new brands, we expect to exceed our projected hypergrowth of 3000% in 2024 and 2025, and, I am convinced, multiply the value of our company many times over.  By early 2025, the company's value is projected to be well over one billion.”

About Oliveda International, Inc. 
Oliveda International, Inc. and its subsidiary, Olive Tree People Inc., as well as the European companies, Olive Tree People Europe AG and Oliveda Deutschland GmbH, as well as Olive Tree Farmers SL, were founded by the German real estate investor Thomas Lommel and have more than 20 years of experience in management and organic certification growing mountain olive trees, in the extraction of first-class, internationally award-winning extra virgin olive oils, the extraction of hydroxytyrosol, and in the production and distribution of cosmetic and holistic waterless products related to the olive tree. Lommel is the inventor of the Olive Tree Therapy 10 years in 14 days as well as the inventor of olive matcha, which is based on the ground olive leaf. Also unique is the coffee replacement developed by Lommel, which is based on olive leaf and hydroxytyrosol. In addition, Lommel is successfully active in the rapidly growing mindfulness industry with the olive tree sound bath meditation he developed and the frequencies of his olive trees, which he makes available worldwide.

In addition to the registered beauty brands, Oliveda and LA Dope, as well as OLIVE re:connected to Nature, The Intuition of Nature, and Olive Mush, to name just a few brands, Lommel is the region's largest conservationist and protector of over 30,000 one-hundred-year-old mountain olive trees, and, with his Thomas Lommel Foundation, he brings the water that he does not use into his waterless beauty products to the people of Africa by building water wells on site.

In addition to online sales and a Europe-wide branch network of thousands of retail stores, Oliveda Deutschland GmbH operates its own flagship stores in Berlin and Düsseldorf.

The brand's treatment concepts are unique worldwide, and their effectiveness has been confirmed by conventional medicine. Read our book The Olive Tree Therapy 10 Years in 14 Days. Waterless beauty has been called “The Next Big Thing” in articles in U.S. Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, Elle, Madame, Forbes, and many other industry publications, as well as by Mintel, a world-leading futurology institute. Gigi Hadid and many other celebrities are already Oliveda fans and support its success.   Further information on Oliveda International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and associate companies and brands can be found at www.olivetreepeople.com

DIH Holding US, Inc.

NORWELL, Mass., Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On September 18, 2025, DIH Holding US, Inc. (“DIH” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DHAI) issued a press release disclosing that it had received a notice on September 12, 2025, from the Listing Qualifications Staff (“Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it had failed to regain compliance under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Bid Price Rule”), so this matter was an additional basis for delisting. The Company is clarifying that since it was not current in filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025, and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Reports Rule”), this matter was also included as an additional basis for delisting in the September 12, 2025 notice. Therefore, the Company needs to address its non-compliance with the Reports Rule with the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”).

The Company has requested a hearing before the Panel, which has stayed the suspension of the Company’s Common Stock for a period of 15 days. In connection with this request, the Company also requested an extended stay of any further action pending the hearing (the “Additional Stay”) due to its non-compliance with the Reports Rule. At the hearing, the Company will present its plan to evidence compliance with all applicable listing criteria, including the MVLS Rule, the Bid Price Rule and the Reports Rule, and request an extension of time. The Panel has the authority to grant the Company an extension of up to 180 days from the date of the Staff’s delist determination for the MVLS and Bid Price Rules and 360 days from the initial filing delinquency. The Company is considering all options available to it to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the Bid Price Rule and the Reports Rule; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to evidence compliance within the period of time that may be granted by the Panel.

Bitcoin is pressing higher, pushing above the $115,000 level and edging closer to critical resistance. Momentum has returned to the market, with many traders anticipating a bullish move that could test all-time highs and extend the ongoing bull trend. Optimism is building as Bitcoin’s resilience at elevated levels fuels speculation of another aggressive breakout.

However, not all analysts are convinced that the path ahead is clear. Some caution that risks remain beneath the surface, pointing to worrying signals from liquidity data. Top analyst Axel Adler shared fresh insights showing that the average Stablecoin NetFlow to centralized exchanges has gone negative and has been declining since September 22. This trend suggests that fewer stablecoins are entering exchanges to provide spot liquidity, even as Bitcoin trades at elevated prices.

Declining liquidity can weaken market structure and increase vulnerability to sharper moves, particularly if selling pressure resurfaces. While ETF inflows and strong institutional demand continue to support Bitcoin, the imbalance between reduced stablecoin flows and rising price levels highlights a fragile dynamic. For bulls, holding above $115,000 is essential, but the market’s next phase will depend on whether liquidity returns to sustain a lasting rally.

ETF Inflows Support Bitcoin, But Uptober Needs More Fuel
Top analyst Axel Adler noted that institutional flows remain one of the strongest factors supporting Bitcoin’s price at current levels. Over the last couple of days, ETFs recorded inflows of $947 million, a sizable addition of fresh capital that has provided critical support for the market. These inflows demonstrate that institutional demand for Bitcoin remains robust, even as broader liquidity indicators, such as stablecoin flows, show signs of weakness.

Adler emphasized, however, that while ETF inflows are encouraging, they are not yet sufficient to power a full-fledged Uptober rally. Historically, October has been one of Bitcoin’s strongest months, often marked by outsized gains and aggressive breakouts. But for that momentum to unfold again, Adler argues that the market needs broader confirmation, including stronger spot flows and renewed liquidity entering exchanges. Without that added layer of support, rallies risk losing steam against persistent resistance levels, such as the $117,500 zone that has capped upside moves since the summer.

The timing adds to the importance. With Q4 now underway, investors are looking ahead to what could be a defining stretch for Bitcoin’s bull trend. A breakout above resistance, paired with sustained inflows, would fuel optimism of retesting all-time highs. On the other hand, failure to gather momentum could prolong consolidation and keep traders cautious.

Bitcoin Tests $117,500 Resistance as Q4 Begins
Bitcoin is trading around $116,200, showing strength after recovering from lows near $112,000 earlier this month. On the 3-day chart, price action reveals a series of rebounds that continue to press against the $117,500 resistance zone, highlighted in yellow. This level has been a defining barrier since July, repeatedly rejecting attempts to break higher and marking it as the key level to watch heading into Q4.

The structure still reflects consolidation within a broad range, with $110,000 acting as a firm support base. Meanwhile, the 50-period moving average (blue) is providing short-term guidance, showing Bitcoin holding above it for the first time since the September pullback. The 100-period (green) and 200-period (red) averages remain comfortably below spot price, reinforcing the long-term bullish trend.

For momentum to continue, Bitcoin must decisively clear $117,500 and hold above it, which could open the path toward $120,000 and eventually retests of the summer highs near $125,000. Failure to break out, however, risks extending the consolidation phase, with downside targets at $112,000 and $110,000 once again coming into play.

His initial exploration focused on understanding the intricacies of various crypto projects, particularly those focused on building innovative financial solutions. Through countless hours of research and learning, Sebastian developed a deep understanding of the underlying technologies, market dynamics, and potential applications of cryptocurrencies.
As his knowledge grew, Sebastian felt compelled to share his insights with others. He began actively contributing to online discussions on platforms like X and LinkedIn, focusing on fintech and crypto-related content. His goal was to expose valuable trends and insights to a wider audience, fostering a deeper understanding of the rapidly evolving crypto landscape. Sebastian's contributions quickly gained recognition, and he became a trusted voice in the online crypto community.
To further enhance his expertise, Sebastian pursued a UC Berkeley Fintech: Frameworks, Applications, and Strategies certification. This rigorous program equipped him with valuable skills and knowledge regarding Financial Technology, bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The certification deepened his understanding of the broader financial landscape and its intersection with blockchain technology.

In his spare time, Sebastian can often be found immersed in charts, studying 10-K forms, or engaging in thought-provoking discussions about the future of finance.
Sebastian's journey as a crypto analyst and investor has been marked by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and a dedication to sharing his insights. His ability to navigate the complex world of crypto, combined with his passion for financial research and communication, makes him a valuable asset to the industry. As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, Sebastian remains at the forefront, providing valuable insights and contributing to the growth of this revolutionary technology.

The narrative surrounding Ethereum’s future has fundamentally shifted, and is rapidly solidifying its role as the global, compliant settlement layer for traditional finance (TradFi). This strategic transformation is inextricably linked to the dominance of Stablecoins and the explosive growth of Tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs).

Network Effects Of Stablecoins And RWA On Ethereum
In a recent post on X, the Token Terminal highlighted a key insight focusing on why Stablecoins and RWAs matter for the Ethereum market cap. To date, Stablecoins and RWAs are crucial for ETH, as the market capitalization of tokenized assets on ETH acts as the floor for ETH’s market cap.

The reasoning is that as more assets are tokenized on the ETH blockchain, including the massive market of stablecoins and the growing sector of RWAs, the total value locked and secured by the network increases, and the more Ethereum’s market cap benefits.

A Host and Producer of The Edge_Pod, known as DeFi_Dad, has reflected on how rewarding it feels to finally see stablecoins cementing credibility for Ethereum and the decentralized finance (DeFi). 

For years, explaining crypto in real life carried negative associations, which were often tied to price speculation or hype. Meanwhile, the narrative has shifted, and stablecoins have provided a clear, relatable entry point, with investors focused on investing in digital money applications using Stablecoins. 

However, the expert pointed out that the stablecoins are now so mainstream in the media that even government officials and traditional media are taking them seriously. Unlike Bitcoin, which many people only associate with volatile price action, stablecoins provide practical utility and a way to earn 5–10% yields on-chain.

According to DeFi_Dad, most of it is built on ETH and stablecoins, which are like Fundstrat and the ChatGPT moment for crypto, a breakthrough product that clicks instantly for the masses. From there, stablecoins would become the stepping stone into DeFi yield and broader digital asset exposure.

A Stronger Foundation For Future Development
Amid the Ethereum advancements, the new Go-Pulse v3.3.0 has officially been released, a major rebase that is going to make the ETH network even faster and more robust. Richard Heart mentioned that the update from the old Go-Ethereum (GETH) v1.13.13 has gone all the way up to the new v1.16.3, which would deliver substantial performance and efficiency improvements.

Heart credited ETH’s role in the process, noting that the Ethereum mainnet serves as the ultimate testing ground. By proving stability on the ETH, PulseChain is the first to integrate and is the most reliable and optimized software enhancements into its own ecosystem.

The market has rebounded bullishly today, boosting the crypto price prediction for these three altcoins.

Digital asset treasury firm SUIG, the Sui Foundation and Ethena teamed up to create two proprietary stablecoins for the network. Oct 1, 2025, 10:09 p.m.

The Sui blockchain will soon host its first native stablecoins, following a three-way partnership between publicly-traded digital asset treasury firm SUI Group (SUIG), synthetic dollar protocol ENA$0.5779 and the Sui Foundation.

The new tokens, USDi and suiUSDe, are expected to launch later this year, according to a press release. USDi will be backed 1:1 by BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund BUIDL issued with tokenization specialist Securitize. Meanwhile, suiUSDe will mirror Ethena’s $14 billion USDe offering, a synthetic dollar backed by a mix of digital assets and short derivatives.

"We believe this initiative will add another powerful mechanism to drive liquidity, utility, and long-term value across the Sui blockchain, while positioning SUIG as one of the first publicly traded gateways to the global stablecoin economy," Marius Barnett, chairman of SUIG, said in a statement.

The move is the latest example of crypto ecosystems making steps to issue proprietary stablecoins partnering with service providers instead of solely relying on the existing offerings such as Circle's USDC$0.9996 and Tether's USDT USDT$1.0004.

For example, HYPE$46.91, a layer-1 network known for its popular on-chain perpetual swaps exchange, held an auction for the rights of issuing the native USDH stablecoin to curb its reliance on USDC, with Native Markets in partnership with Stripe winning the competition. MegaETH, an Ethereum scaling network designed for fast transactions, also announced to launch a native stablecoin, partnering with Ethena.

In August, the Sui network processed $229 billion in stablecoin transfer volume, outpacing its previous records, according to a Sui Foundation blog post. That kind of throughput is part of what drew Ethena to the chain. "Sui’s performance and composability made it a clear choice," said Guy Young, CEO of Ethena Labs.
