Leading cryptocurrencies plunged on Monday as geopolitical uncertainty and upcoming inflation data kept investors on edge.
Crypto Market PlungesBitcoin nearly slipped below the $81,000 mark before staging a late-evening rebound. Ethereum dipped to the $2,400 level and is now down nearly 10% over the last week. XRP and Dogecoin also recorded steep drops.
Cryptocurrency-related stocks also fell, with Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE:BMNR) closing down 1.08% and 0.83%, respectively.
More than $775 million in cryptocurrency positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, including $493 million in just the last four hours, according to Coinglass data. Long position traders bore the brunt of the losses.

Bitcoin’s open interest slipped 1.64% over the last 24 hours. Retail and whale derivatives traders on Binance, meanwhile, flipped “Bullish” on BTC, increasing their long exposure.
Top Gainers (24 Hours)
Dow Rallies, S&P Near FlatlineStocks had a mixed day on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 195.60 points, or 0.38%, to close at 51,850.55. The S&P 500, in contrast, fell 0.06% to end at 7,807.24, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 0.44% to close at 27,245.90.
Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities continued even after President Donald Trump announced an “energy ceasefire” between the two countries.
The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:USO), which tracks WTI crude oil, sharply rebounded, closing up 1.91% at $151.03 on Monday.
‘Pullback Isn’t the End of Anything’Ali Martinez, a widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader, noted that whales have increased accumulation as Bitcoin fell from $87,000 toward $80,000. However, they believe the asset still needs to clear a key “hurdle” first.
“On-chain data shows nearly 800,000 BTC were previously traded around $84,569. A break above this supply zone would strengthen the case for a move higher,” the analyst predicted.
Technical analyst Kevin said that a year-end pullback was inevitable, although their “plan” remains unchanged: $77,000-$83,000 keeps $93,000-$100,000 in play, while a close below $77,000 opens $67,000-$76,000
“CPI Wednesday is the catalyst. A pullback isn’t the end of anything. It’s the next opportunity for the sidelined and should result in a higher low,” Kevin added.

Morgan Stanley: Storage stocks appear to have the lowest valuations at the cycle peak, but are actually in the most dangerous situation.
Morgan Stanley’s latest report notes that Samsung and SK Hynix currently have a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 3 to 4 times—seemingly cheap but potentially masking a valuation trap at the cycle’s peak. Historically, storage stocks have tended to top out ahead of earnings peaks: leading by roughly 4 months in 2008 and 2012, and about 8 months in 2018. While the AI-fueled storage supercycle remains intact, tight supply-demand, rising prices, and improving earnings still offer support. But with sharp stock price gains and concentrated upward revisions to earnings forecasts, bullish expectations are already fully priced in, leaving further upside under pressure. Morgan Stanley argues that the stronger the storage sector’s fundamentals, the more easily cycle-top risks are underestimated—high growth may not translate to sustained excess returns. The report warns that high profits will eventually draw new production capacity, with supply set to gradually hit the market from the second half of 2027, potentially triggering a new cycle inflection point. Asian storage stocks have rallied roughly 9 times cumulatively since their September 2025 rally, with average consensus earnings per share (EPS) forecasts revised up by 432%. Samsung and SK Hynix’s low P/E ratios may be a classic trap for cyclical stocks near earnings peaks. To justify the upside implied by current share prices, DRAM contract prices would need to rise around 70% quarter-on-quarter—a tall order. Separately, evolving data center architectures could reshape industry chain benefit distribution: in NVIDIA’s NVL72, storage makes up ~29% of a single rack, falling to 19% when expanded to 8 interconnected racks, while network equipment’s share jumps from 10% to 20%—meaning storage makers may not proportionally benefit from AI infrastructure investment growth.

Gemini 4 Argon embedded in the new Antigravity version: three inference tiers are ready but still non-functional.
Beating AI News Flash: Google’s AI coding tool Antigravity’s 2.23.0 update has uncovered the full model identifier for Gemini 4 Argon, including three inference configurations: Low, Medium, and High. The previous 2.22.0 version lacked these elements, while the new update added 4 model IDs and 3 model selection menu names. However, these configurations are currently hidden in the program code, so regular users cannot directly select Gemini 4 Argon yet. Antigravity has also removed multiple old models simultaneously. Gemini 3.1 Pro, 3.6 Flash, and 3.7 Flash were marked for retirement on October 12; the next day, users noticed that only Gemini 3.8 Flash remained in the model list. Another developer found that the three Argon tiers are already ranked among the top three in the client’s recommended model order, but requests to their corresponding interfaces still return 404 errors. Google released Argon as early as September 30, but it is currently mainly available to vetted cybersecurity partners, with plans to later expand access to paid API and Google AI Ultra users.

Analysis: Bitcoin long-term holders have been generating consistent profits since 2023, with their current unrealized profit buffer reaching 72%.
Crypto market analyst Axel Adler Jr says on-chain data shows the average cost basis of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) stands at $48,600, with the current price roughly 72% above that level. This group has remained in profit since January 2023, with its closest approach to the cost line coming in March 2023. The LTH average cost basis has fallen 1.7% since hitting a peak of $49,500 on July 30. Since August 1, 60 out of 74 days have recorded negative weekly changes, with the largest single-week drop hitting 0.34% on August 25, and the current reading standing at -0.06%. The analyst notes this decline remains moderate; a further drop would signal accelerating selling pressure, while a return to positive territory would mean long-term holders are resuming accumulation.
For two days at the start of October the Ontology team was in Seoul, on a booth in the Upbit Zone at Korea Blockchain Week 2026, held at Walkerhill Hotels and Resorts from 30 September to 1 October. Thank you to everyone who came by, to the Korean community who have stayed with Ontology for a long time, and to FactBlock and Upbit for running the zone. This is a short account of what we heard there and what it means for the work ahead.
The conversation at Korea Blockchain Week has moved from trading to rails Korea Blockchain Week has a reputation as a trading crowd’s event, and this year’s programme pointed somewhere else. The main sponsor is the country’s largest exchange, and its own sessions in the zone were about regulation and market structure, public perception, and on-chain technology rather than the next listing. The underlying question was how regulated, everyday finance gets onto a chain without dragging every old problem along with it.
That is a healthy shift, and it is one Ontology was built for. When an industry stops asking what the price will do and starts asking what the plumbing looks like, the identity layer stops being a niche topic and becomes a precondition.
Every regulated rail needs an identity layer Regulated finance runs on knowing who the customer is. Today that means the same passport scan and proof of address copied into every exchange, bank and app a person uses, each copy held by a different team to a different standard. The more of finance that moves on chain, the more copies there will be, unless the model changes.
The model Ontology has worked on since mainnet launched in 2018 is simple to state. A person is verified once by an issuer that a relying party trusts. They hold the result as a verifiable credential. When the next service needs to know they are over 18, or resident in a given country, they present that claim and nothing else. The verifier checks the signature and the credential’s status against the chain and never receives the document.
A week before Korea Blockchain Week, that model was argued for from an unexpected place. On 23 September, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce told SIFMA’s Digital Assets Conference that regulators should move away from prescriptive data collection and toward attribute-based verification, using credentials and zero-knowledge proofs to confirm facts such as age, citizenship or sanctions status without revealing the data behind them. She spoke in a personal capacity and no rule has changed. But when a sitting commissioner describes the selective disclosure model in plain terms, the gap between where regulators are heading and where Ontology already is gets noticeably smaller. We will come back to her speech in detail on Thursday.
What we showed: ONTO Wallet and a reputation people hold themselves The product on the booth was ONTO Wallet, where identity, credentials and the data a person chooses to connect sit in one place, with the holder deciding item by item what each counterparty sees. The most concrete example running right now is gaming. The gaming reputation profile reads a player’s Steam, Twitch and Discord records with their permission and keeps the result with the player.
Gaming is where a verified, portable, user-held record found an audience first. The same infrastructure answers the KYC question above.
Four weeks of identity and data on this account Seoul was a useful reminder that the market still files Ontology under identity and data, and that the timing for that position is better than it has been in years. Over the next four weeks this account will set out each part of it in turn:
Privacy and KYC: what Commissioner Peirce’s speech means for credentials and zero-knowledge checks, and where Ontology fits. DID and data: how ONT ID and verifiable credentials work as one identity and data layer. Reputation: why a reputation worth trusting has to be held by the person it describes, with The Arena as the worked example. If you met the team in Seoul, thank you for coming by. If you did not, the spring privacy series is the best place to start before Thursday.

According to monitoring by MLM On Chain, the wallet associated with TechnoRevenant used 744,000 HYPE (valued at approximately $61.3 million) as collateral on Hypercore to borrow 3 million USDC, then incurred a $1.7 million loss on Papertrade. This loss earned the wallet 136 million PAPER tokens, making it the second-largest holder of PAPER and the trader with the highest realized perpetual contract loss on the platform. To date, the wallet has received 1.051 million USDC in staking rewards, leaving an overall net loss of roughly $650,000. Excluding staking rewards, its average cost basis for PAPER is approximately $0.0125, the highest among the top five PAPER-holding wallets. By contrast, the largest PAPER holder has a cumulative trading volume of $10.1 billion, incurred a $980,000 loss to acquire 252 million PAPER tokens, with a position size nearly double that of TechnoRevenant’s wallet. This address has received over $1.18 million in staking rewards, resulting in an overall net profit of about $200,000, with an average cost basis for PAPER of roughly $0.0039 – less than one-third of TechnoRevenant’s.

Bybit CEO Ben Zhou announced the launch of Bybit Direct Stock during his "Make Your Move" global keynote speech. Users can directly hold and trade real stocks via Bybit, gaining access to over 1,000 trading pairs and assets from the US market, as well as full ownership of the underlying stocks. Ben Zhou noted that these stock assets will be held in the Unified Trading Account (UTA). Going forward, Bybit plans to further support stocks as trading collateral and roll out a stock lending service. Additionally, the platform will facilitate broker transfers, enabling users to move stocks held at brokers such as Futu and Moomoo to their Bybit accounts for custody.
According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, a Bitcoin whale deposited 138 million USDC into Binance. The whale currently holds 200 million USDC and 61.68 million USDT, with a combined value of approximately $262 million.
According to official announcements, privacy stablecoin payment network Payy has initiated a claims process for affected users following the September 24 cross-chain bridge contract hack. The claim application window is 30 days. Eligible claims will be disbursed in USDC on the Ethereum network. Additionally, Payy Wallet is currently suspended and will be fully shut down after the claims window closes. On September 24, Payy’s cross-chain bridge contract on Ethereum was exploited, draining all funds from the contract, resulting in losses of approximately $1.8 million.

South Korean authorities have approved measures to block domestic access to 27 websites operated by unregistered crypto exchanges and other virtual asset service providers, including KuCoin, MEXC, Phemex and Bitrue.
In an announcement on Tuesday, South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) said the decision followed reviews by the Korea Media and Communications Standards Commission on Oct. 6 and 7.
The list also includes CoinW, BTCC, BitMart, BingX, DigiFinex and others. The block applies to crypto platforms that have not registered under the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information, the country’s anti-money laundering legislation.
“With this decision, blocking measures against illegal virtual asset operators will also apply to internet websites, following apps such as those on Apple and Google,” the FIU said, according to a translation.
The measures involve terminating services hosted domestically or blocking access to websites operated overseas.
The move follows earlier restrictions on mobile apps. Cointelegraph reported in April 2025 that South Korea had blocked downloads and updates for 14 unregistered crypto exchange apps on Apple’s App Store, following restrictions on 17 apps through Google Play.
The FIU said authorities assess whether overseas operators target Korean customers by looking at whether platforms offer Korean-language services, market to South Korean users or support transactions in Korean won.
The FIU acknowledged the website blocks could complicate withdrawals for existing users. It said it plans to provide withdrawal guidance and support through the Digital Asset eXchange Alliance, or DAXA, with cooperation from the operators.

South Korea has ordered domestic access restrictions on 27 unregistered cryptocurrency exchange websites, including KuCoin, MEXC and BingX, following regulatory reviews held on October 6 and 7.
Summary
South Korea has ordered access restrictions on 27 unregistered cryptocurrency websites following two regulatory reviews. KuCoin, MEXC, BingX and other overseas exchanges face website restrictions under South Korean financial regulations. Regulators have referred 44 unregistered cryptocurrency operators to investigative authorities over suspected unauthorized business activities. South Korea requires overseas cryptocurrency exchanges targeting local customers to register with financial intelligence authorities. Authorities plan further website blocks and withdrawal guidance for customers affected by the latest restrictions. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced on October 13 that the country’s communications review authority had approved the restrictions at the request of its Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). The decision extends existing controls on foreign crypto exchange applications to websites operating without the required domestic registration.
The affected platforms include KuCoin, MEXC, Phemex, XT.com, Bitrue, CoinW, Poloniex, BTCC, BingX and BitMart. According to the FIU, the measures cover sites that remain operational despite requests to restrict access to unregistered virtual asset service providers.
South Korea crypto exchange ban extends to websites Following two rounds of deliberations, the communications review authority approved restrictions covering 27 websites identified by the FIU. Authorities will block domestic access to websites hosted overseas, while sites with domestic servers or operators will face service termination measures.

— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) October 13, 2026 The latest decision follows South Korea’s restrictions on foreign crypto exchange apps introduced through Google Play and Apple’s App Store. Under the earlier measures, users could no longer install affected applications or receive updates through the platforms’ domestic app stores.
In March 2025, Google Play began restricting 17 unregistered exchange applications following requests from Korean regulators. Apple introduced similar controls in April, targeting platforms that had failed to complete local registration requirements. The government has since continued reviewing overseas operators serving Korean customers without authorization.
The FIU said authorities can now request website restrictions once unregistered business activities are identified, without waiting for completed criminal investigations or confirmed customer losses. The regulator described unregistered virtual asset operations as violations of the Specific Financial Information Act and said early restrictions were intended to prevent consumer harm.
According to the commission, the authorities reached the decision after discussions on how to limit access to operators conducting unauthorized crypto business activities. The process allows communications regulators to examine newly identified websites before approving restrictions.
Unregistered crypto exchanges face penalties and investigations South Korea requires cryptocurrency businesses serving local customers to register with the FIU and meet requirements that include Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification. Foreign operators fall under the same rules when their activities target residents of South Korea.
Regulators assess whether overseas platforms maintain Korean-language websites, promote services to Korean customers or support payments in Korean won. According to the FSC, such activities can establish that an overseas business is operating within the domestic market.
Operating without the required registration carries a possible prison sentence of up to five years or a fine of up to 50 million won. Authorities have referred 44 unregistered virtual asset operators to investigative agencies, although the commission has not stated that all those referrals have resulted in criminal charges or convictions.
The FIU has instructed registered crypto businesses to restrict virtual asset transfers involving identified unregistered operators. Licensed firms that violate applicable transaction restrictions can face administrative sanctions and fines of up to 100 million won per violation.
Credit card purchases involving unregistered virtual asset providers face separate restrictions. The government introduced those payment controls through amendments implemented in May 2024, forming part of its existing enforcement framework against unauthorized crypto transactions.
South Korean regulators have previously taken enforcement action against licensed exchanges for transactions involving unregistered overseas platforms. In April 2026, the FIU disclosed that Coinone had processed 10,113 virtual asset transfers involving 16 unregistered foreign providers, following an inspection that identified multiple compliance violations.
Regulators warn of high fees and customer asset risks The FIU has raised concerns about customer protection at unregistered cryptocurrency businesses. In its October 13 statement, the commission warned that such operators are not subject to the same domestic supervision and safeguards required of registered providers.
According to the regulator, potential risks include exposure of personal information, hacking, money laundering and customers paying for cryptocurrencies they never receive. Authorities cautioned that recovering losses from unregistered operators can be difficult when businesses fall outside established domestic protection arrangements.
A joint investigation conducted by the Digital Asset Exchange Association (DAXA) and registered operators in June 2026 found trading fees ranging from 1.5% to 10% among the businesses examined. The FIU compared those figures with an average fee of 0.16% across South Korea’s five major won-based exchanges.
The investigation found that some operators charged fees reaching approximately 62 times the domestic exchange average. The commission presented the figures as findings from the investigated businesses, not as fee data for every platform covered by the October website restrictions.
During an earlier enforcement review, the FSC reported that the joint investigation had identified 12 operators, including eight unauthorized over-the-counter trading businesses and four overseas exchanges conducting activities targeting Korean customers. The cases were referred to police for investigation.
FIU plans more website blocks and withdrawal guidance The FIU plans to monitor alternative domains that unregistered exchanges may use to continue serving Korean customers. Where authorities identify replacement websites or newly detected operators, the unit intends to request further reviews and access restrictions.
For customers holding funds on affected platforms, the regulator said it would coordinate with DAXA and relevant businesses to provide withdrawal instructions and procedural assistance. The October announcement did not establish a universal withdrawal deadline or confirm that every affected operator had agreed to assist customers.
Currently, 28 virtual asset service providers are registered with the FIU. The commission has advised customers to verify an operator’s registration status before depositing funds and to withdraw assets from businesses identified as unregistered.
The FIU warned customers to be cautious of promotions promising “high returns,” “principal guarantees,” access to “non-public information” or “global listings.” The regulator said such claims could indicate fraudulent activity and advised users against providing private keys, login credentials or identity documents to unregistered operators.
Authorities have invited reports of suspected illegal crypto businesses through the FIU, DAXA and police. The commission said referral-based promotions involving unauthorized operators could expose participants to criminal liability if their conduct amounts to assisting illegal business operations.

Analysis: Bitcoin long-term holders have been generating consistent profits since 2023, with their current unrealized profit buffer reaching 72%.
Crypto market analyst Axel Adler Jr says on-chain data shows the average cost basis of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) stands at $48,600, with the current price roughly 72% above that level. This group has remained in profit since January 2023, with its closest approach to the cost line coming in March 2023. The LTH average cost basis has fallen 1.7% since hitting a peak of $49,500 on July 30. Since August 1, 60 out of 74 days have recorded negative weekly changes, with the largest single-week drop hitting 0.34% on August 25, and the current reading standing at -0.06%. The analyst notes this decline remains moderate; a further drop would signal accelerating selling pressure, while a return to positive territory would mean long-term holders are resuming accumulation.

Altın fiyatları, küresel piyasalarda güçlenen ABD doları, yükselen petrol fiyatları ve tahvil getirilerindeki hareketlilik nedeniyle dalgalı bir seyir izliyor. Ons altın 4.190 dolar seviyelerinde işlem görürken yatırımcıların odağı ABD’den gelecek kritik enflasyon verilerine çevrildi. Uzmanlar, kısa vadede altın fiyatlarında yeni bir düşüş yaşanabileceği konusunda uyarırken özellikle 4.000 dolar seviyesinin önemine dikkat çekiyor. Piyasalarda Fed’in faiz politikasına ilişkin beklentiler de altının yönünü belirleyebilecek önemli faktörler arasında yer alıyor.
Altın Fiyatlarında Son Durum Spot altın, saat 07.27 itibarıyla yüzde 0,50 yükselişle ons başına yaklaşık 4.190 dolardan işlem görerek dalgalı seyrini sürdürdü. İç piyasada ise dolar/TL kurundaki hareketlilik ve küresel altın fiyatlarının etkisiyle gram altın 6.595 TL alış ve 6.651 TL satış seviyelerinde fiyatlandı. Güçlenen ABD doları ve yüksek tahvil getirileri, yatırımcıların faiz getirisi sağlamayan altına yönelik talebini sınırlarken petrol fiyatlarındaki yükseliş enflasyon endişelerini artırıyor. Uzmanlar, küresel ekonomik belirsizliklerin ve Fed’in faiz politikasına ilişkin beklentilerin önümüzdeki dönemde altın fiyatları üzerinde belirleyici olabileceğine dikkat çekiyor.

Yatırımcılar, ABD’de açıklanacak eylül ayı tüketici enflasyonu verilerine odaklandı. Ardından gelecek üretici enflasyonu ve perakende satış rakamlarının da Fed’in para politikasına yönelik beklentileri şekillendirmesi bekleniyor. Piyasalarda Fed’in ekim ayında faiz artırma olasılığı yaklaşık yüzde 17, yıl sonuna kadar en az bir faiz artırımı gerçekleştirme ihtimali ise yüzde 87 olarak fiyatlanıyor. Beklentilerin üzerinde açıklanabilecek enflasyon verileri, faizlerin daha uzun süre yüksek kalacağı düşüncesini güçlendirerek altın fiyatlarında satış baskısını artırabilir.
Uzmanlardan Altın İçin 4.000 Dolar Uyarısı Kitco News’in aktardığına göre Trade Nation Kıdemli Piyasa Analisti David Morrison, altının güçlü bir yükseliş ivmesi kazanabilmesi için 4.000 dolar destek seviyesinin yeniden test edilmesi gerekebileceğini belirtti. UBS analistleri de kısa vadede aynı seviyeye doğru geri çekilme riskine dikkat çekerken, Eylül 2027’ye kadar ons altının 5.400 dolara ulaşabileceğini öngörüyor. Bu değerlendirmeler, kısa vadeli düşüş riskine rağmen bazı kurumların altının uzun vadeli görünümüne yönelik olumlu beklentilerini koruduğunu gösteriyor.
FOREX.com piyasa analisti Fawad Razaqzada, son değerlendirmesinde doların güçlü kalması ve faiz oranlarının yüksek seyretmesi nedeniyle altının toparlanmasının “biraz ivme kaybettiğini” vurguladı.
Petrol fiyatlarındaki oynaklık da enflasyon endişelerini canlı tutarken yatırımcıların Fed’in gelecek faiz kararlarına yönelik beklentileri yakından takip etmesi bekleniyor.
Değerlendirme Altın fiyatları, ABD enflasyon verileri öncesinde kritik bir döneme girerken uzmanlar 4.000 dolar seviyesini önemli bir destek noktası olarak değerlendiriyor. Güçlü dolar ve yüksek faiz beklentileri kısa vadede düşüş riskini artırırken, merkez bankalarının alımları ve yatırım talebi uzun vadeli görünümü desteklemeye devam ediyor. Altının sonraki yönünde ABD ekonomik verileri ve Fed’in para politikası belirleyici olacak.

On Unchained, Alex Shevchenko said the rest of the stolen funds had been traded into XMR, which NEAR Intents is now working to convert after refilling its contracts from its own funds.
NEAR Intents says part of the $3.8 million exploit came back in Monero
Posted October 12, 2026 at 10:16 pm ET.
The attacker who drained about $3.8 million from NEAR Intents returned only part of it in Bitcoin, the protocol’s general manager said on Unchained. The rest came back in Monero (XMR), and the team is still working out how to convert it.
Alex Shevchenko, GM of NEAR Intents, walked through the return in an episode recorded Oct. 8. After the Oct. 1 exploit, his team tracked the stolen assets and believed the non-Bitcoin portion was still sitting on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana. It was not. “So everything was correctly identified on the Bitcoin blockchain,” Shevchenko said on the show, but the other assets had moved through hard-to-trace channels, and “in fact they have been traded into XMR.”
That changed what the attacker needed from NEAR Intents. One reason the attacker made contact, Shevchenko said, was to learn “what is the Monero address to return the funds.”

Funds Back, Conversion Pending
On Oct. 2, Shevchenko posted that the funds “were sent back in full” and that the team was ending its investigation, as Unchained later reported. That day, independent onchain analyst Kuncoro checked the published return addresses and found the Bitcoin one received 34.59 BTC, about 78% of the total, concluding the rest “came back through a different” route; Shevchenko replied, “You are right. It did indeed.” Asked whether NEAR Intents still held the XMR, he said “this part is in process.”
The team has already replenished its smart contracts from its own funds, Shevchenko said, so the remaining step is to “return money back to the pockets.” That means converting the XMR into USDT, and he said companies have raised questions. “They’re asking for the source of funds, and what are we gonna say the source of funds?” he said on the show. Shevchenko did not say how much of the return arrived in XMR. He added that his first time handling the coin “was exactly during the hack.”
An Invite Only the Attacker Could Open
Shevchenko also explained how the two sides got a private line. After the attacker sent an onchain message offering to cooperate and asking for a Signal contact, Shevchenko posted an encrypted message holding a Signal group invite. Only the attacker could read it, because “this encrypted message was encrypted with the public key of the attacker,” he said on the show, which left the attacker as “the only person who is able to decrypt it.”
He also repeated his call for hackers to use bug bounties instead. Since the exploit, NEAR Intents has received several submissions, and one of them was valid and will be paid, Shevchenko said.

Aave V4 is experiencing rising attention as tokenized stocks stimulate growth opportunities within the decentralized lending sector. The surge in activity points to a shift in decentralized finance (DeFi), with traditional financial instruments entering onchain ecosystems and diversifying collateral options for users.
Tokenized stocks drive new DeFi momentumData from Token Terminal shows that Aave V4 has accumulated $4.9 million in Coinbase-issued tokenized stock deposits over a 17-day period. This development signals increasing interest in bridging conventional equity with blockchain-based lending platforms, potentially broadening the scope of collateral choices for DeFi participants.
Tokenized stocks provide exposure to traditional equities through blockchain tokens, enabling users to interact with assets previously unavailable in the DeFi space. Their integration with Aave V4 expands the asset base for collateralized lending and opens the door to new user segments seeking exposure to tokenized financial products.
The value of these deposits, while notable, does not represent the full extent of market activity, as borrowing demand and resulting protocol revenue depend on ongoing adoption, asset liquidity, and the lending conditions specific to tokenized stocks. The future influence of these assets will largely be shaped by their collateral eligibility and the risk management protocols established by Aave.
The introduction of tokenized stocks could significantly scale Aave’s addressable market by connecting traditional finance with decentralized lending frameworks. This link may create new collateral avenues for qualified users and broaden participation in onchain lending.
Market monitoring and the rise of meme tokensAs Aave introduces new assets and users monitor critical resistance and support levels, close tracking of investor behavior and asset timing has become increasingly important throughout the crypto market. In the meme token sector, for instance, internet-driven trends can quickly generate millions in interest. Data provided by Fomo App highlights a trade in the “Niu Lai” token, where an initial investment of $99 grew to about $370,000—demonstrating the fast-moving and volatile nature of this niche market. Platforms like Fomo App now integrate token discovery, social feeds, investor rankings, and trading notifications, serving as a resource for those following meme token activity and broader market sentiment.
Liquidity, effective risk assessment, and responsible collateral management remain fundamental for the tokenized stocks on Aave V4. Future developments in deposits and borrowing activity will help determine whether the initial momentum translates into sustained growth for both Aave and the DeFi market as a whole.
Technical outlook for AAVE priceCrypto analyst Crypto With Gopal has identified a symmetrical triangle pattern emerging on the one-hour chart, with AAVE currently trading close to $168. This technical formation reflects a period of price consolidation as traders weigh the potential for a decisive breakout or breakdown.
The $172–$176 interval stands as the nearest resistance zone for AAVE. Should the price confidently breach this range on strong trading volume, bullish momentum could target the $185 level. Sustained buying pressure above resistance would support higher price targets.
On the downside, $165 acts as a critical support zone. If AAVE falls below this threshold, the price may head toward $155, dampening the current bullish trend. Gopal emphasizes that price direction will be confirmed only by substantial volume and movement beyond these key support or resistance ranges.
At present, trends in tokenized stock deposits and technical indicators function as fundamental signals, but there is no clear evidence linking these deposits directly to AAVE price fluctuations. Traders continue to monitor both technical and onchain developments as market sentiment evolves.
A breakout above the $172–$176 resistance level could shift sentiment for AAVE toward a more bullish outlook, with upside potential beyond $185. However, a breakdown below $165 may prompt a shift toward lower price targets and heightened caution among traders.
Long-term growth for Aave depends on expanding tokenized asset adoption and rigorous management of collateral risks. As AAVE price action remains within defined ranges, analysts and market participants closely observe both fundamentals and technicals to inform their outlook.
Filecoin [FIL] is on a strong bullish run. Since it successfully defended the $1 support level four days ago, the altcoin has closed with higher highs.
Over the past 24 hours, the altcoin flipped the $1.2 resistance and touched a five-month high of $1.27.
As of this writing, Filecoin was trading around $1.24, marking a 14% surge on the daily charts. Over the same period, its trading volume climbed 150% to $269 million, highlighting elevated market participation.
Filecoin is rallying amid rising optimism over the concluding vesting schedule. On the 15th of October, the six-year vesting schedule for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation will come to an end.
The termination will result in annual FIL emissions dropping by a staggering 75%. With the expected supply entering the market falling to 22 million FIL from 89 million, marking over a 67 million drop in releases.
Source: DefiLlama
This change in supply dynamics marks the largest shift in the token supply since its mainnet launch.
Usually, reduced supply in the market increases scarcity, thus reducing market pressure, which helps in strengthening upside momentum.
The derivatives market turns overly bullish
With the market in anticipation mode, speculative demand returned to the market. According to CoinGlass, Filecoin’s Open Interest (OI) climbed 23% to $312 million while the Derivatives volume rose 103% to $613 million.
The rising OI and volume indicated higher participation and capital flows as traders opened new positions, either shorts or longs.
Source: CoinGlass
Meanwhile, the Long/Short Ratio climbed 1 across major tracked exchanges, with the ratio on Binance holding above. Such elevated levels suggest that traders were bullish and mostly took leveraged longs.
Could profit takers derail the momentum?
As expected, the recent price hike attracted profit-taking. Over the past three days, Filecoin Spot netflow has remained positive for three consecutive days.
After FIL rose above $1.2, the altcoin’s netflow rose to $2.5 million on the 11th of October. Over the past 24 hours, the netflow was around $1.74 million.
Source: CoinGlass
A positive netflow for a prolonged period suggested more sales than buys. Historically, higher inflows have increased supply, thus weakening the upside structure.
What’s next?
Filecoin upside pressure momentum currently holds strong despite the profit realization, as the RSI shows.
The altcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits deeply within the bullish zone, holding around 66. Here, the indicator suggests a strong bullish pressure and signals that the trend is likely to hold.
Source: TradingView
Therefore, if the positive sentiment around the vesting schedule holds, and bulls take in profit takers, the altcoin could clear $1.3 resistance and eye a close above $1.32.
However, the risk arising from profit takers is an important note, and if it persists, Filecoin will struggle to hold $1 and potentially revisit $0.93.
Final Summary
Filecoin’s vesting schedule for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation will come to an end on October 15.
Filecoin extended its bullish streak, surging 14% to a five-month high.
Internet Computer [ICP] has emerged among today’s market top gainers by recording a significant 14% daily surge, leading to the current trading price of $3.46.
The bullish move came as buyers extended a recovery that began after the token broke above a descending triangle pattern that had contained its price for weeks.
For many investors, the breakout has shifted attention toward higher resistance levels at around $4.097. It is already evident in the current big players’ behavior. Whales are bagging more orders across Spot and Futures markets, while buyers dominate ICP’s derivatives positioning.
With the token trading above its key exponential moving averages (EMAs), can buyers sustain the rally and push ICP toward $4.097?
Source: TradingView Whale activity strengthens the recovery as buyers dominates Large orders are increasing across both Spot and Futures markets according to the recent Average Order Size data, suggesting that larger traders are becoming more active as ICP advances.
The network’s increasing Spot market buying could provide the missing direct demand for the token’s anticipated rally back to the $4.097 resistance zone.
Source: CryptoQuant That’s not all; the reported dominance of buyers in ICP’s Futures market adds to the positive short-term picture, although leveraged positioning can reverse quickly if momentum fades.
According to the recent Long/Short Ratio data, long positions accounted for 65% of the total open market exposure at the time of writing. This highlights the current market bias and brings the chances for a continuation rally close to certainty.
Source: Coinalyze ICP burn rate points to increased demand On the 10th of October, between 12:30 and 14:00 UTC, the network cycle-burn rate on the dashboard stepped from approximately 48 B cycles/s to about 20 B/s and has since maintained there.
At the same time, the transaction rate across the network stood at 5199 transactions per second at press time, while the Finalization Rate stood at 152 blocks per second.
Source: internetcomputers.org Is $4.097 the next resistance for ICP? The fact that ICP’s price action is still trading above its key EMAs on the daily chart gives buyers a more constructive technical setup. The next level for the network bulls to watch is the $4.097 resistance level, which could become the next major test if buyers maintain control.
A sustained move toward this resistance would keep the momentum going, while a rejection or loss of EMA support could expose ICP to renewed consolidation.
All in all, the combination of a descending triangle breakout, rising whale activity, increasing burn rate, and buyer-dominated Futures positioning favors the bulls.
Final Summary ICP surges by 14% in the last 24 hours after breaking above a descending triangle pattern that had constrained its price for weeks. The network’s rising whale activity across Spot and Futures markets points to a potential continuation rally to the $4.097 resistance.

(Nasdaq: SKYA), a Solana digital asset treasury, announced on October 12 that it will launch a cash tender offer to repurchase up to 95% of its common stock and warrants at $3.00 per share, a 65% premium to its October 9 closing price, while rejecting an unsolicited takeover bid from Forward Industries, according to the company announcement.
The offer targets up to 46.37 million common shares and 20.72 million cash pre-funded warrants, cryptocurrency pre-funded warrants and strategic advisor warrants, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of about $201 million. SkyAI expects to commence the tender on or about October 15 and run it for 10 business days, with the definitive terms set out in offer materials to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
How the Tender Is Funded
SkyAI will fund the buyback using cash on hand and proceeds from selling Solana held in its treasury. The company said it has already sold about 1 million SOL tokens, roughly half of its holdings, and retains about 1 million SOL. The offer is conditioned on Solana’s closing price staying above $100 throughout the offer period, and on at least 50% of each class of securities being validly tendered and not withdrawn.
The $3.00 purchase price represents a premium of more than 100% to the 60-day volume-weighted average price of SKYA. The board framed the tender as a way to give shareholders and warrant holders an option to exit at a premium, while continuing shareholders keep exposure to the company’s stated pivot toward an agentic AI financial platform built on stablecoin rails.
Why SkyAI Rejected Forward Industries
A special committee of independent directors unanimously recommended, and the board agreed, that Forward Industries’ latest non-binding proposal, an exchange of 0.306 shares of FWDI stock for each SkyAI share, undervalues SkyAI and is not in the best interests of its shareholders. Forward Industries, which has built what it describes as the world’s largest Solana treasury, has expanded its Solana position through a series of capital raises and at-the-market offerings.
What Happens Next
SkyAI said the tender has not yet commenced and may not proceed. If more than 95% of any class is tendered, the company expects to buy that class back on a pro-rata basis. SkyAI has also suspended its existing share repurchase program and will not buy shares outside the offer until at least 10 business days after it expires. The Schedule TO filing with the definitive terms is expected by October 15.

Solana’s latest announcement comes at a key moment for the market.
In its official announcement, Solana noted that Pando Finance will list its Solana ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the 13th of October. With an estimated expense ratio of 1.6% annually, the ETF will hold SOL through HashKey, with no staking, leverage or dividend payouts, per the key facts statement. This will make it Hong Kong’s second Solana ETF, after the ChinaAMC Solana ETF.
Viewing from a broad perspective, the timing is when institutional flows are becoming weak. Despite the strong start to the fourth quarter, SOL ETFs turned bearish again, with more than $30 million in outflows this month. In this context, Hong Kong’s new listing could attract new inflows and help curb this downtrend.
Source: X
On the technical side too, the announcement comes at a key moment.
SOL is down over 5% this month, not able to move above $120 before pulling back toward the $95 support zone. Positioning also suggests that bears are taking control, with Solana long/short ratio slipping back into negative territory, suggesting growing bearish sentiment among traders. However, SOL’s 5% drop is still relatively small compared to other large-cap cryptos, suggesting bulls may still be holding their ground.
Naturally, investors are now looking at the listing of Solana’s ETF in Hong Kong. Spot SOL ETFs worldwide have a combined net inflow of $1.9 billion in net assets, with $1.61 billion. Despite the recent outflows, institutional demand remains strong. The question now is whether the newest listing in Hong Kong can set Solana [SOL] up for a bear trap.
Solana’s ETF launch tests the bears
Solana’s Hong Kong ETF launch comes amid bearish positioning and rising liquidity.
According to SolanaFloor, Circle has minted $3.5 billion in USDC on Solana over the past seven days, keeping the network’s stablecoin market cap above $16 billion. This stands out as stablecoin market cap on other blockchains have fallen below critical levels, suggesting that Solana is continuing to attract liquidity.
Meanwhile, one analyst pointed out that much of the downside liquidity has already been washed out, with SOL closing the week down over 8%. As the chart below shows, over $65 million in long liquidations have occurred on the 8th of October, the biggest single-day flush since early June. With many long positions unwound, focus is now on short-liquidity clusters that could spark a potential short squeeze.
Source: Coinglass
That brings the focus back to Solana’s upcoming Hong Kong ETF launch.
With institutional interest being supported, SOL demonstrating relative strength, long positions being unwound, bulls making a comeback, the launch can ignite a short squeeze and rally, and most importantly, can contribute to Solana’s rising ETF trend.
Considering that Q4 started bullishly, a breakout above $125 could become the start of a larger SOL rally.
Final Summary
Hong Kong’s Solana ETF could bring fresh money into SOL.
With liquidity building, SOL could break above $125 and start a bigger rally.
The trader valued the robbery at about $800,000. Transaction records show the Solana address he identified received nearly 719,000 USDC, which later moved on.

Solana has regained its position as the leading blockchain for tokenized equities spot decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, surpassing all other chains after 13 weeks. This development, reported by @SolanaFloor, highlights a significant resurgence in Solana’s activity in this sector. In Q2 2026, Solana recorded $4.8 billion in tokenized-equity DEX volume, a substantial increase from $1.1 billion in Q1, accounting for roughly 97% of cross-chain volume. The return to the top spot suggests renewed interest and participation in Solana-based activity.
Key Takeaways
Solana’s return to the top spot in tokenized equities DEX volume appears to suggest increased activity and interest in the blockchain.
The market pricing implies a potential increase in the likelihood of Solana reaching $190 in October, as evidenced by the activity in prediction markets.
Solana’s Q2 2026 performance showed a significant increase in DEX volume, indicating strong cross-chain dominance.
What to Watch
Market participants will be observing whether Solana can sustain its lead in tokenized equities DEX volume, which could influence its price movements in October. Key indicators include regulatory developments, such as potential SEC approvals of spot-SOL ETFs, and technical developments like the successful activation of Solana’s Alpenglow. Additionally, shifts in decentralized-exchange volume and active addresses on the Solana network will be crucial in assessing the blockchain’s ongoing performance and its impact on market pricing.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Trading below its 200-day average and stuck in a range between $0.00000510 and $0.00000565, with a close outside that band likely to set the next direction.
Zcash (ZEC): Holding above its 50-day average near $1,190 after a sharp September-to-October pullback, with a daily close above $1,350 needed to regain control.
Stellar (XLM): Defending a support cluster of moving averages around $0.192 to $0.193, where a rebound through $0.210 would shift the tone and a breakdown would put $0.185 back in play.
HOT Stories
Solana (SOL): Under pressure near its 100-day average around $107 to $113, where a break above $115 would be bullish and a close below $107 would likely send it toward $100.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Range-Bound Below the 200-Day AverageSHIB trades near $0.00000534 and is down on the day. The token failed to hold above the 200-day average, the black line near $0.00000565. Price has been rejected there several times since late September, and each attempt has ended in a drop.
SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe latest red candle pushed SHIB back toward the orange 100-day average, which sits around $0.00000530. This is now the key support. SHIB touched $0.00000510 earlier this month, and buyers stepped in, so the area has worked before.
Volume is weak, which is a concern. The bounces in October came with very little trading activity. The RSI is near 45, which is neutral to slightly weak. There is no sign of a bottom yet, but SHIB is not oversold either.
You Might Also Like
On the bullish side, a move back above $0.00000565 would be the first sign that buyers are in control again. On the bearish side, if the orange line breaks, the next stop is about $0.00000500, and below that, $0.00000480.
What happens next: for now, SHIB is stuck in a range between $0.00000510 and $0.00000565. A close outside that range will likely decide the next direction.
ZcashHolding Above the 50-Day AverageZEC trades near $1,262 after a rough few weeks. The coin hit about $1,700 in late September, then fell nearly 35% to a low around $1,110 on October 7.
ZEC/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe drop stopped right at the blue 50-day average, near $1,190. Buyers defended it, and the price has climbed back above $1,200, which is a good sign. If $1,190 fails, the next support is the orange average near $980. The long-term trend is still up, and all averages point higher, with the 200-day average far below, near $760.
The RSI is around 50, down from overheated levels in September. That reset is healthy and gives the price room to move up again. Volume has dropped, so the market is quiet and waiting.

On the bullish side, a daily close above $1,350 would open the way back toward $1,500. On the bearish side, ZEC faces resistance near $1,300 to $1,350. Today's candle tried to break above and left a long upper wick, which shows sellers are still active there.
What happens next: the $1,190 support and the $1,300 to $1,350 resistance zone will set the direction. Buyers need a close above $1,350 to regain control.
Stellar Defending the Moving-Average ClusterXLM trades near $0.1971, down about 3% on the day. The token opened at $0.2030 and tried to move higher, but sellers pushed it back from $0.2043. This is the second red candle after a short bounce.
XLM/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe price sits on top of a tight cluster of moving averages. The 200-day average is near $0.193 and the 100-day average is near $0.192. Together, they form a support zone around $0.192 to $0.193. XLM tested it earlier this month, dipped to about $0.185 and recovered fast. That shows buyers want to defend this level.
The RSI is near 48, which is neutral. Volume is low, so traders are waiting. XLM reached about $0.237 in late September, then lost close to 17% in two weeks. The price is now fighting to get back over the 50-day average.
You Might Also Like
On the bullish side, resistance is near $0.204 to $0.210. A daily close above $0.210 would be the first real sign of strength and could open the way back to $0.225. On the bearish side, if support breaks, the next levels are $0.185 and then $0.175.
What happens next: XLM needs to hold the $0.192 to $0.193 zone. A rebound through $0.210 would shift the tone, while a breakdown would put $0.185 back in play.
Solana Pressure Builds SOL is under pressure and trades near $108.91, down about 2% on the day. It opened at $111.21 and ran into sellers at $113.26, just under the 50-day average. This is the second red candle after a short bounce, which shows buyers are still weak.
SOL/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe bigger picture explains the mood. SOL peaked near $125 in late September after a strong rally from the $75 area in August. Since then, it has lost about 13%. Most of the damage came from one large red candle on October 6, when the price fell to about $105.50 before buyers stepped in.
The key level now is the blue 100-day average near $107.50. It sits right under the current price, and the cyan line is very close to it. SOL has bounced from this zone once already. If it breaks below $107, the next target is $100. The orange average near $99 and the 200-day average near $97.50 sit just below that, making the $97 to $100 range the last big support.
You Might Also Like
The RSI is near 42, which is weak but not oversold, so the price can still fall further before a bounce looks likely. Volume is also fading. The sell-off on October 6 came with high volume, but the days after it have been quieter. This suggests there is no panic, but also no strong demand.
On the bullish side, the larger trend is still up. SOL trades above every long-term average, and all of them point higher. The first resistance is $113 to $115, where SOL was rejected today. A daily close above $115 would show that buyers are back and could open the way to $120. On the bearish side, every bounce is a chance for sellers to step in, and a drop to $100 would be a normal pullback, not a broken trend.
What happens next: for now, SOL is stuck between $107 and $113. Traders should watch these two levels. A break above $115 is bullish, while a close below $107 would likely send the price toward $100.
Major cryptocurrencies Shiba Inu (SHIB), Zcash (ZEC), Stellar (XLM), and Solana (SOL) are facing crucial technical levels as price action becomes increasingly range-bound and volumes remain subdued.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Range-bound Below Key AveragesSHIB is trading at approximately $0.00000534, registering a decline on the day. The token continues to face resistance at its 200-day moving average, located near $0.00000565, with multiple failed breakout attempts since late September.
A recent dip pushed SHIB close to its 100-day average, which serves as support around $0.00000530. Buyers previously defended $0.00000510 twice this month, signaling this region’s strength as a short-term floor for the token’s price.
Volume on recent rebounds has remained muted, raising questions about the conviction of bulls. The relative strength index (RSI) sits near 45, suggesting neutral to slightly weak momentum, but not an oversold condition.
For now, SHIB fluctuates between $0.00000510 and $0.00000565, and a decisive daily close beyond this band is likely to establish the token’s next directional move.
Bullish momentum could return if SHIB closes above $0.00000565, while a drop below $0.00000530 would increase the risk of a slide toward $0.00000500 or even $0.00000480.
Zcash (ZEC): Bounces from Key SupportZcash, a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency, trades near $1,262 after a sharp retreat from September’s local high. The coin fell from roughly $1,700 to a low of about $1,110 on October 7, before stabilizing above its 50-day moving average at $1,190.
This moving average has acted as critical support, with price action rebounding as buyers stepped in. Should this support fail, the next significant level lies at the 100-day average, currently near $980. The longer-term trend remains positive, with the 200-day average well below at $760.
The RSI for ZEC is close to 50, reflecting a neutral environment following the recent correction. Trading volumes have also thinned out, indicating a wait-and-see attitude in the market.
To change the short-term narrative, ZEC would need a sustained daily close above $1,350, which could open the way for a push toward $1,500. Resistance in the $1,300 to $1,350 area remains firm as sellers continue to defend this zone.
A failure to hold $1,190 could place bearish pressure on ZEC, with further downside possible toward $980.

XLM opened at $0.2030, encountered selling pressure near $0.2043, and now sits atop a cluster of tightly packed moving averages.
Both the 200-day and 100-day averages cluster between $0.192 and $0.193, acting as key support. This technical zone was briefly breached earlier this month, but buyers returned as the price rebounded from a low of $0.185.
XLM recently lost 17% in two weeks after peaking at $0.237 in late September. Volume has decreased, while the RSI hovers near 48. These metrics suggest a wait-and-see outlook among traders.
A close above $0.210 would signal renewed strength and could set the stage for a push toward $0.225, while a break below support risks a decline toward $0.185 and possibly $0.175.
Solana (SOL): At Crossroads of Support and ResistanceSolana, a blockchain platform known for its high-speed and low-cost transactions, is trading near $108.91, down about 2%. SOL opened at $111.21 and encountered resistance at $113.26, marking the second day of declines after a modest recovery attempt.
After peaking at almost $125 in September, SOL has dropped 13%, mainly due to a single large sell-off on October 6, which pushed the price to $105.50. The current price hovers just above the 100-day moving average around $107.50.
A breakdown below $107 could trigger further declines toward $100, with subsequent support in the $97 to $100 region. Conversely, a sustained daily close above $115 would indicate a shift to bullish momentum and could pave the way for a move to $120.
The RSI stands at 42, reflecting weak trading sentiment, but is not yet oversold. Volume is also lower, indicating limited participation following the recent sell-off.
Kripto para piyasası, küresel piyasalardaki satış baskısının etkisiyle geriledi. Toplam piyasa değeri yüzde 0,94 azalarak 2,81 trilyon dolara inerken Bitcoin ve Ethereum da değer kaybetti. 13 Ekim saat 09.27 TSİ itibarıyla Bitcoin yüzde 0,40 düşüşle 83.492 dolardan, Ethereum ise yüzde 1,25 kayıpla 2.522 dolardan işlem gördü. Asya teknoloji hisselerindeki sert satışlar, Orta Doğu’daki gerilim ve ABD enflasyon verilerine yönelik beklentiler yatırımcıların risk iştahını zayıflattı.
Altcoin piyasasında kayıplar daha belirgin oldu. XRP yüzde 2,88 gerileyerek 1,36 dolara, Solana ise yüzde 3,97 düşerek 108,02 dolara indi. Son 24 saatte Stacks (STX) yüzde 11,65 yükselişle en iyi performansı gösterirken Starknet (STRK) yüzde 18,30 düşüşle en fazla değer kaybeden varlık oldu.
Asya Teknoloji Hisseleri Kripto Paraları Nasıl Etkiledi?
Kripto varlıklardaki düşüşün arkasında, Asya’daki çip üreticilerinin hisselerinde ve ABD teknoloji vadeli işlemlerinde görülen satışlar bulunuyor. Teknoloji sektörüne ilişkin endişeler, yatırımcıların riskli varlıklara olan talebini azalttı.
Güney Kore’nin KOSPI endeksi gün içinde yüzde 6’dan fazla gerileyerek 6.000 puanın altına indi. Böylece endeks, temmuz sonundan bu yana en düşük seviyesini gördü. Sabah işlemlerinde de yaklaşık yüzde 6’lık düşüş yaşandı.
Samsung Electronics ve SK Hynix hisseleri yaklaşık yüzde 8 değer kaybetti. İki şirketin hisselerinde düşüş serisi beş işlem gününe ulaştı. Yapay zeka sektöründeki yüksek değerlemelere yönelik kaygılar ve Çinli bellek çipi üreticilerinin artan rekabeti satış baskısını güçlendirdi.
Diğer piyasalarda da benzer bir zayıflık görüldü. Hong Kong Hang Seng endeksi yüzde 0,4 gerilerken Nasdaq vadeli işlemleri yüzde 0,6 düştü. Bu hareket, Nasdaq’ın pazartesi günü kaydettiği yüzde 0,78’lik kaybın ardından teknoloji hisselerindeki baskının sürdüğünü gösterdi.
Orta Doğu’daki Gerilim Piyasaları Neden Tedirgin Ediyor?
Suudi Arabistan’a yönelik yeni saldırılar ve Hürmüz Boğazı’ndan geçen gemilere yönelik tehditler, enerji piyasalarındaki belirsizliği artırıyor. Bölgedeki gelişmelerin petrol fiyatları ve enflasyon üzerindeki olası etkileri, küresel yatırımcıların gündeminde yer alıyor.
Enerji maliyetlerinde yaşanabilecek artış, enflasyon baskısını güçlendirerek merkez bankalarının faiz politikasını etkileyebilir. Böyle bir senaryo, riskli varlıklar üzerinde ek baskı yaratabilir. Bu nedenle kripto para piyasasındaki hareketleri değerlendirirken jeopolitik gelişmeleri de hesaba katmak gerekiyor.
ABD Enflasyon Verileri Bitcoin İçin Neden Önemli?
Bu haftanın önemli gündem maddeleri arasında ABD Tüketici Fiyat Endeksi (TÜFE) ve Üretici Fiyat Endeksi (ÜFE) bulunuyor. TÜFE çarşamba, ÜFE ise perşembe günü açıklanacak. Her iki veri de enflasyonun yönü ve ABD Merkez Bankasının (Fed) faiz politikası hakkındaki beklentileri etkileyebilir.
Enflasyonun beklentileri aşması, Fed’in daha sıkı para politikası uygulama ihtimalini artırarak riskli varlıklara yönelik baskıyı güçlendirebilir. Verilerin beklentilerin altında kalması ise faiz görünümünün yeniden değerlendirilmesine ve piyasalarda farklı bir fiyatlamaya yol açabilir.
Kripto ETF’lerinde Hangi Varlıklardan Para Çıktı?
12 Ekim’de spot Bitcoin ETF’lerinden 65,40 milyon dolar, spot Ethereum ETF’lerinden ise 85,40 milyon dolar net çıkış yaşandı. Altcoin fonlarında ise para akışları farklı yönlere ilerledi.
SOL ETF’lerinden 699,83 bin dolar, ZEC ETF’lerinden 1,66 milyon dolar, HYPE ETF’lerinden 2,35 milyon dolar ve DOGE ETF’lerinden 399,46 bin dolar net çıkış gerçekleşti. Buna karşılık LINK ETF’leri 1,18 milyon dolar, NEAR ETF’leri 3,98 milyon dolar ve DOT ETF’leri 727,70 bin dolar net giriş kaydetti. BNB, XRP, TRX, LTC, AVAX ve HBAR ETF’lerinde ise net para akışı görülmedi.

Binance will discontinue its Bitcoin mining pool and related services on November 10, 2026, the exchange said in an official announcement published October 13. The shutdown covers Binance Pool, Pool Savings, Cloud Mining, and the Transaction Accelerator, and it requires miners to move their hardware to another pool before the cutoff.
Binance described the decision as part of an ongoing review of its products and services and did not cite a specific reason for the exit.
What Binance Is Shutting Down
The discontinuation covers the core mining pool alongside a cluster of adjacent products, including Pool Savings, Cloud Mining, and the Transaction Accelerator. Telegram hashrate alerts, email notifications, and the mining pool API services will also be retired.
At 07:00 UTC on November 10, Binance will disconnect mining connections and disable its Stratum URLs and mining endpoints. Hashrate submissions and mining shares received after that time will no longer be accepted, processed, or credited.
Binance Pool is expected to keep operating under normal conditions until the cutoff, and eligible mining shares submitted before 07:00 UTC will be included in the final reward calculation. On November 10, Binance will also remove all links to Binance Pool from its homepage.
What Miners Must Do Before the Cutoff
Binance is directing users to disconnect from the pool and reconfigure their miners to a different pool before November 10 to avoid interruptions. Anyone holding active Pool Savings positions should redeem them before the service ends, and miners should complete any required identity verification by 23:59 UTC on November 10 to help ensure eligible rewards are processed.
Outstanding rewards, balances, and settlements will be processed after the cutoff, subject to product rules, account status, and compliance checks. Binance Pool pages will remain viewable for 14 days, until November 24, for historical data and payout records.
An Exchange Steps Back From Mining
The retreat reverses years of mining expansion by the exchange, which had built out cloud mining products and added new coins to its pool. It also lands amid turbulence in the mining sector, where once-leading pool Poolin filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
For affected miners, the practical consequence is a forced migration: those who do not switch pools before the cutoff will see their hardware stop earning until it is reconnected elsewhere.

Binance on Tuesday said it plans to discontinue its crypto mining pool and related services on November 10. The world’s largest crypto exchange is closing services, including Binance Pool, Pool Savings, Cloud Mining, and the Transaction Accelerator, along with related features such as Telegram hashrate alerts, email notifications, and mining pool APIs.
Binance Pool will begin closing crypto mining connections, with disabling mining pool Stratum URLs and mining endpoints first. Hashrate submissions and mining shares submitted after 7:00 UTC on November 10 will no longer get accepted, processed, or credited.
No new rewards, yield, or service benefits will accrue after this time. Binance will process outstanding rewards, balances, refunds, or settlements after 7:00 UTC on November 11.
These are “subject to applicable product rules, account status, risk controls, compliance checks, and applicable laws. Eligibility is determined in accordance with the applicable mining pool product terms,” the leading crypto exchange added.
Binance Pool pages will remain accessible for viewing historical data, account records, and payout status until 07:00 UTC on November 24. After this, all access will be permanently unavailable.
Users are advised to disconnect from Binance Pool and reconfigure miners to point to a different crypto mining pool before the discontinuation. Unsubscribe or redeem active Pool Savings positions. They need to ensure that accounts can receive rewards, refunds, or settlements, including completing required identity verification.
Why Is Binance Discontinuing its Crypto Mining Pool?
Binance cited an ongoing review of its products and services as the reason for discontinuing its Binance Pool mining services and related offerings. The crypto exchange has one of the best Bitcoin mining pools.
Binance has framed the decision as a routine evaluation of its portfolio rather than tying it to external factors such as profitability, regulatory pressure, or market conditions.
The crypto assets impacted based on active workers, include Bitcoin, Zcash, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Cash, and Kaspa. Notably, there are 1.35 million Bitcoin active workers and 1,509 Zcash active workers.
As per the latest data, Binance Pool accounts for almost 65 EH/s of the global Bitcoin hashrate. This corresponds to 7% to 8% of the current Bitcoin hashrate of 968 EH/s. Binance Pool’s exit will not impact the network or BTC price.

Uniswap’s Layer 2 network Unichain is moving to Optimism’s OP Enterprise stack, handing production operations to Optimism while leaving the chain’s user-facing state intact. The testnet migrates on October 13 and the mainnet follows on October 29, according to the Uniswap announcement.
For anyone using the network, the switch is designed to be invisible. Unichain’s chain ID, deployed contracts, balances, and applications all stay the same, and the Uniswap v2, v3, and v4 deployments continue to run without interruption. The migration adds to a busy stretch of Uniswap protocol work, which recently included a StablePair hook for stablecoin pairs.
Why Unichain Is Moving to OP Enterprise
The upgrade prepares Unichain for native interoperability across the OP Stack, the modular framework developed by Optimism. Once interoperability is live, assets can move between Unichain and other OP Stack chains without a bridge, starting with ETH. Moving onto OP Enterprise also gives Unichain first access to native interoperability and OP Stack releases as Optimism ships them.
On the operations side, Optimism will run the production stack: sequencers on mainnet and testnet, RPC access, monitoring, and incident response. Unichain remains a Stage 1 rollup with permissionless fault proofs, and contract upgrades stay under Optimism Governance and the Security Council, as they do today.
What Stays the Same for Users
Uniswap is explicit that “for Unichain users, nothing changes.” Wallets keep addressing the same chain ID, so no reconfiguration is needed, and existing balances, contracts, and applications remain in place.
What shifts is the infrastructure behind the chain. The sequencer, which orders transactions into blocks, is the most consequential operational lever on a Layer 2, and it now sits with Optimism alongside RPC and incident response. The main user-facing benefit, bridge-free asset movement, arrives only after interoperability ships and applies to ETH first.
What Happens Next
The October 13 testnet migration gives developers roughly two weeks to validate tooling and contracts before the mainnet moves on October 29. Unichain users should expect no downtime or required action, and the first visible change will come later as native interoperability begins to roll out. For developers, the testnet window is the moment to confirm that wallets, indexers, and tooling resolve correctly against the new foundation before real value moves across it.
