Market Signal Briefing

A cryptocurrency analyst has explained how the TD Sequential has accurately spotted XRP trend reversals over the last three months, and It has just flashed again.

TD Sequential Has Given Another Signal For XRP
In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed about the Tom Demark (TD) Sequential signal that has just formed for XRP. The TD Sequential is a technical analysis (TA) indicator that’s used for spotting points of trend reversal in a given asset’s price.

The indicator involves two phases. In the first of these, called the setup, it counts up nine candles of the same color on the asset’s chart. Once the nine candles are in, it signals that the price trend has reached a state of exhaustion. In other words, the asset has reached a point of turnaround.

Naturally, this signal is a bullish one if nine red candles led to the setup’s completion. Similarly, the signal is bearish if green candles were involved instead. When the setup is done, the second phase begins. This phase, known as the countdown, works much like the setup, with the only difference being that it lasts for thirteen candles. The countdown’s finish coincides with another top or bottom for the asset.

XRP has recently completed the former of the two TD Sequential setups on its daily price. Below is the chart shared by Martinez that shows this signal forming for the cryptocurrency.

As displayed in the graph, the 1-day price of XRP has formed a TD Sequential setup with nine green candles. This means that the coin could be due a reversal to the downside, at least from the perspective of the indicator.

During the last few months, the TD Sequential has given several signals for the asset, and interestingly, they have coincided quite well with local tops and bottoms. Considering this trend, it’s possible that the latest sell signal may also lead to a drawdown for the coin.

XRP isn’t the only asset that the TD Sequential has lately been reliable for. As the analyst has explained in another X post, the indicator has also called the recent swings in the Bitcoin price.

From the above chart, it’s apparent that the TD Sequential gave a sell signal for Bitcoin earlier in the day. Since then, the asset has witnessed a retrace, implying that the metric may have once again caught a trend reversal.

Binance.US responded to criticism from Sen. Chris Murphy, who alleged its USD1 listing was payback following Trump's pardon of CZ.

Binance Coin (BNB) is facing renewed selling pressure as the broader crypto market turns cautious. After a 3.84% decline over the past day, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is trying to maintain its crucial $1,000 support level — a price zone that has become a key psychological anchor for traders amid the latest correction.

The Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) memecoin erupted into a double-digit rally on Wednesday amid reports that the project's issuer is in talks to buy crowdfunding platform Republic.

TRUMP Overshadows Bitcoin, EthereumThe Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based token jumped nearly 13%, becoming one of the market's biggest gainers in the last 24 hours. Trading volume surged 50% to $2.75 billion, indicating high liquidity and trader interest.

TRUMP shrugged off declines in blue-chip currencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), which fell 1.54% and 1.18%, respectively.

A New Use Case For Memecoin?The sharp rally comes after Bloomberg reported that Fight Fight Fight LLC, the memecoin's issuer, is considering buying the U.S. operations of Republic, citing people familiar with the matter.

Republic is a retail-focused platform that offers investors a chance to buy equity startup companies and opportunities across a wide range of fields.

If the deal goes through, TRUMP could see increased use in startup fundraising, sources told Bloomberg.

Fight Fight Fight LLC and Republic didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for confirmation.

TRUMP’s Volatile Journey In 2025TRUMP was launched just before President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January. The coin opened to a euphoric rally, before plummeting just as quickly. As of this writing, it was down 88% from its all-time highs.

The coin’s official website states that the memecoin has no connection to any political campaign or government office. However, Trump has been found promoting it on his official social media accounts.

Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $8.36, up 12.95% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Pi Network Ventures has made its first official investment, backing OpenMind, a company developing a decentralized operating system for intelligent machines. OpenMind is creating an open-source platform that allows robots and AI systems to think, learn, and collaborate together, much like an “Android for robots.”

This partnership aligns with Pi Network’s vision to use blockchain to solve real-world problems. Through this investment, Pi Network Ventures aims to grow the utility of Pi and expand its role within emerging technologies such as AI and robotics.

How OpenMind and Pi Network CollaborateOpenMind’s core technology introduces a shared intelligence layer that enables robots and AI systems to coordinate securely across a decentralized network. This approach complements Pi’s philosophy of open innovation powered by distributed infrastructure.

The two companies have already tested their collaboration through a proof-of-concept project. In this pilot, Pi Node operators ran image recognition models for OpenMind, showing that Pi’s 350,000-plus global nodes can handle AI computation for external projects. This expands Pi Node functionality beyond blockchain validation, allowing Node operators to earn Pi by contributing computing power to AI workloads.

This integration could evolve into a decentralized AI computing marketplace, where AI firms pay Pi Node operators in Pi for access to computing resources. Such an ecosystem would connect blockchain and artificial intelligence while driving new demand for Pi tokens.

Pi Coin Price Recovery Strengthens Market ConfidencePi Coin has been rebounding in recent days. The coin is up 30% over the past week, now trading around $0.26. Pi reached its all-time high of $2.98 on February 26, 2025, but fell sharply afterward, hitting an all-time low of $0.1585 on October 11, 2025. Since then, the token has climbed nearly 65% from that bottom.

At present, bulls are attempting a breakout above $0.28, a key resistance level. A decisive close above $0.29 could open the path toward $0.32 and potentially $0.37, hinting at a stronger recovery trend.

As the market awaits the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to hold the $4,000 area as support. Despite the volatility, some analysts have predicted that the King of Altcoins may soon start its long-awaited price discovery rally, while whales pour millions into the cryptocurrency.

Ethereum Price Set For $8,000
On Wednesday, Ethereum fell below the $4,000 level once again, falling to a two-day low of $3,926. After a massive Q3 rally, the King of Altcoin has struggled to hold the crucial psychological barrier as support and has been unable to reclaim the $4,200 resistance for most of October.

Earlier this week, the cryptocurrency retested the key resistance level after surging 7% over the weekend, but retraced on Tuesday alongside the rest of the market. Amid this performance, some analysts suggested that ETH will likely experience more volatility, fueled by the Federal Reserve (Fed)’s interest rate cut announcement.

Daan Crypto Trades noted that ETH’s big test is around its previous cycle highs near the $4,100 level. To the trader, “this is the level to break and hold if the bulls want to get back to the highs in due time.” On the contrary, a new rejection from this area could send the price to retest $3,800 and turn the level into a major resistance in the larger timeframes.

Nonetheless, Crypto Yhodda stated that Ethereum is “getting ready for the last euphoric run,” as its performance resembles its 2021 price action, when the altcoin recorded a massive price discovery rally after breaking out of its four-year consolidation.

Similarly, analyst Crypto Jelle asserted that shakeouts at key support levels are expected, adding that the cryptocurrency’s rally “still looks very promising.” Jelle highlighted an 18-month bullish megaphone formation on Ethereum’s chart, which it broke out of during the Q3 rally.

The analyst emphasized that ETH is still holding the previous highs and the breakout level as support, suggesting that a “hated rally” to the $8,000 target could happen soon.

Whales Bet Big On ETH
Online reports highlighted that large-scale investors have been on a buying spree despite the altcoin’s pullback. As reported by NewsBTC, Santiment data showed that whales added 218,470 ETH in the past week, signaling that major investors are gradually re-entering the market.

Meanwhile, on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that whales continued to buy ETH over the past 24 hours. Notably, two newly created addresses received a total of 33,948 ETH, worth $135 million, from digital asset prime brokerage FalconX on Wednesday morning.

According to Lookonchain, the two addresses likely belong to BitMine, the largest Ethereum-based treasury company, which recently unveiled another 27,316 ETH purchase, worth $113 million.

In a Monday X post, BitMine provided its latest holdings update, which now surpasses the $14.2 billion mark. As of October 27, the company holds 3,313,069 ETH, 192 BTC, an $88 million stake in Eightco Holdings for its “Moonshot” initiative, and unencumbered cash of $305 million.

A month ago, BitMine revealed it had reached the 2% milestone of its goal to own 5% of Ethereum’s total supply. With the recent purchases, the company has achieved 55% of its goal, currently holding 2.75% of ETH’s supply.

As of this writing, ETH is trading at $3,990, a 3.5% drop in the daily timeframe.

XRP price started a fresh increase above $2.550. The price is now facing hurdles above $2.650 and at risk of another decline in the near term.

XRP price failed to continue higher above $2.70 and corrected some gains.
The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.65 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above $2.5120.

XRP Price Holds Support
XRP price formed a short-term top near $2.69 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $2.65 and $2.62 levels.

There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.697 high. The price even spiked below $2.55 but remained stable above $2.50. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.65 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.620 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.650 level and the trend line, above which the price could rise and test $2.680.

A clear move above the $2.680 resistance might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.750 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.80.

More Losses?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.650 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.550 level. The next major support is near the $2.5120 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.697 high.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.5120 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.468. The next major support sits near the $2.420 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.40.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $2.550 and $2.5120.

The Ethereum Foundation has launched a new website designed to onboard more institutions by providing clear pathways for businesses to move from traditional finance to the Ethereum ecosystem. 

In an X post on Wednesday, the Ethereum Foundation unveiled “institutions.ethereum.org,“ developed by its Enterprise Acceleration team, with the aim of showcasing the network and helping guide businesses that are adopting Ethereum. 

“Ethereum is the neutral, secure base layer where the world’s financial value is coming onchain. Today, we’re launching a new site for the builders, leaders, and institutions advancing this global movement,” the post reads.

The website has a simplistic design and showcases institutional use cases such as tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs), stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), privacy tools and layer 2 networks.  

The site also showcases links to data showing that Ethereum hosts 75% of the RWA market share, 65% of all DeFi total value locked (TVL) and 60% of all stablecoin TVL. 

It also highlights major institutions already on the network, accompanied by key examples of their work on Ethereum via onchain data. It points to Visa with its annual $1 billion stablecoin volume, BlockRock’s $1.15 billion worth of tokenized assets under management, and Coinbase’s $15.5 billion TVL via its layer 2, Base. 

There are links to three different sections on the site: “Digital Assets,” which provides an overview of various blockchain sectors, Live Data, and a Library offering “Institutional Insights” from research reports, news articles, and more. 

The launch of the new website marks another push by the Ethereum Foundation to better market the blockchain.

Earlier this year, Ethereum Foundation-backed Etherealize launched to address an apparent lack of institutional education or knowledge about Ethereum. 

Other recent improvements include a new roadmap from the Ethereum Foundation, released in mid-September, outlining plans to introduce end-to-end privacy features to the Ethereum network as part of a rebranding of its “Privacy and Scaling Explorations” initiative to “Privacy Stewards of Ethereum.”

During the same month, the Ethereum Foundation also unveiled a new AI-focused research team, with the goal of developing a strong AI economy of autonomous agents and bots on Ethereum and providing a decentralized AI stack to support developers. 

“Our mission: make Ethereum the preferred settlement and coordination layer for AIs and the machine economy,” noted Ethereum Foundation research scientist, Davide Crapis, via X.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ClaimsFiler, a FREE shareholder information service, reminds investors that they have until December 8, 2025 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Marex Group plc (“Marex” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: MRX), if they purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between May 16, 2024 and August 5, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Marex investors should visit us at https://claimsfiler.com/cases/nasdaq-mrx/ or call toll-free (844) 367-9658. Lawyers at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC are available to discuss your legal options.

About the Lawsuit

Marex and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On August 5, 2025, NINGI Research reported numerous allegations about the Company including, among other things, that it “has engaged in a multi-year accounting scheme involving a web of opaque off-balance-sheet entities, fictitious intercompany transactions, and misleading disclosures to conceal significant losses, inflate profits, and mask its true risk exposure” and that it has “numerous multi-million-dollar discrepancies in intercompany receivables and loans across Marex’s sprawling network of 56+ entities.” The report further identified “a $17 million receivable created out of thin air, a subsidiary whose reported profit was inflated by 150% in group filings before being liquidated, and an asset valued at $14.9 million that was sold to Robinhood for just $2.5 million weeks later, with no reported loss” and that the Company concealed nearly $1 billion in off-balance-sheet derivatives exposure through a Luxembourg fund it both controls and trades with, and that it is using the fund to generate non-cash trading profits and inflate operating cash flow by misclassifying structured note issuance as income.

On this news, the price of Marex’s shares fell $2.33, or 6.2%, to close at $35.31 per share on August 5, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The case is Narayanan v. Marex Group PLC, et al., No. 25-cv-08393.

Meta shares fell nearly 9% in after-hours trading.

Carlos Barria/REUTERS

2025-10-30T02:29:55Z

Meta reported Q3 earnings on Wednesday as shares fell nearly 9% in after-hours trading.
Meta's huge Q3 tax bill and EPS that missed expectations weighed down shares.
AI is enhancing engagement across Meta's social media platforms and driving targeted advertisements.

Meta's third-quarter earnings report did not land well with investors.

In after-hours trading, Meta shares tumbled nearly 9% on Wednesday during the investor call.

Meta beat Wall Street estimates with a reported revenue of $51.24 billion. However, a $15.9 billion tax charge, an earnings per share that missed expectations, and some concerns over whether Meta's huge investments in AI will translate to profit, weighed down the company's shares.

From Meta's burgeoning capital expenditure to what is driving revenue for the company, here are the biggest takeaways from the social media giant's call with analysts.

1. The cost of 'novel capabilities'Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and CFO Susan Li spent a good part of the call discussing the company's soaring AI infrastructure spending.

Meta now expects to spend between $70 billion and $72 billion on infrastructure this year, and also expects expenditure growth in 2026 to be "notably larger" than in 2025 as AI workloads continue to rise.

Li said during the call that Meta plans to "invest aggressively" in both its own data centers and third-party cloud capacity, with infrastructure costs putting "upward pressure" on capital expenditures.

"In the very worst case," Zuckerberg said, Meta would have simply "pre-built for a couple of years," absorbing the extra costs through depreciation while it grows into the added capacity. The greater danger, he said, is "underinvesting" in computing.

"We're really trying to build novel capabilities," said Zuckerberg. "This is not like a check-the-box exercise."

Employee pay is also climbing. Li said compensation will be the second-largest contributor to expense growth in 2026, reflecting a full year of salaries for AI specialists hired in 2025 and new technical recruits in "priority areas."

"Compute and talent are where we're leaning in hardest," Li said. "That's what's going to drive Meta's AI advantage."

2. Reality Lab woesMeta's Reality Labs is still bleeding billions, though losses have narrowed slightly from the previous quarter.

The unit, which houses Meta's virtual reality hardware, AI-powered devices, and metaverse initiatives, reported $470 million in revenue and an operating loss of $4.43 billion for the quarter, compared with a $4.53 billion loss in the second quarter.

Li said Reality Labs' revenue got a temporary boost as retailers stocked up on Quest headsets ahead of the holiday season. But she acknowledged "headwinds" to the Quest headsets this year, since Meta hasn't released a new model.

"We're still expecting significant year-over-year growth in AI Glasses revenue in Q4 as we benefit from strong demand for the recent products that we've introduced," said Li, "But that is more than offset by the headwinds to the Quest headsets."

3. Addressing the tax chargeMeta took a massive $15.9 billion one-time tax charge this quarter, tied to changes under President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed in July.

The company said the new tax law's implementation allowed for a "valuation allowance against our US federal deferred tax assets," resulting in a one-time, non-cash income tax expense.

Li said that despite the hefty charge, Meta expects its overall tax burden to drop going forward. The company anticipates a "significant reduction" in federal cash tax payments thanks to provisions in the new legislation.

According to Li, without the one-off charge, Meta's effective tax rate would have fallen from 87% to 14%. Li said the adjustment "positions us favorably from a cash tax standpoint" as Meta continues its heavy investments in AI infrastructure and data centers.

4. AI is booting engagementZuckerberg said AI is paying off across the company's core apps as well as for advertisements.

Zuckerberg told investors that AI-powered recommendation systems have increased time spent on Facebook by 5%, on Threads by 10%, and boosted video viewing on Instagram by more than 30% over the past year.

"As video continues to grow across our Apps, Reels now has an annual run rate of over $50 billion," said Zuckerberg. "Improvements in our recommendation systems will also become even more leveraged as the volume of AI-created content grows."

Li added that Meta's generative AI features for advertisers, including AI-generated music, are also "driving increased performance" and are expected to be able to offset losses generated by Reality Labs.

Whether the profit AI generates in these areas could offset Meta's planned capex spending remains to be seen.

5. AI glasses are a hot commodityAhead of the call, some analysts had been skeptical about whether the AI-glasses hype would translate to sales. Forrester VP and research director Mike Proulx told Business Insider that while early adoption of Meta's glasses will likely be driven by "tech-curious" consumers, demos may still "far outpace actual purchases."

On the call, however, Zuckerberg said the company's AI-powered glasses could become a "very profitable investment" as sales of its new line surge.

During the call, Zuckerberg told analysts that Meta's collaborations with Ray-Ban and Oakley are "going very well" and that revenue will come not just from device sales but also from the services layered on top of them.

Zuckerberg said the AI capabilities built into the glasses will soon become "the main thing people are using them for," and that Meta's new Ray-Ban Displays sold out in "almost every store" within 48 hours, with demo appointments booked through the end of next month.

This press release corrects and replaces the company’s press release issued today, 10/29, at 4:15 p.m. ET in order to correct a typographical error in the first sub-bullet under “WVE-007 (GalNAc-siRNA)” – “Next steps.”

Dose-dependent mean reductions of Activin E of up to 85% one month post single dose of WVE-007 in INLIGHT clinical trial, exceeding levels that led to weight loss in preclinical models; WVE-007 is generally safe and well tolerated to date

Activin E reduction in lowest dose cohort of INLIGHT was sustained through 6 months, supporting once or twice a year dosing

Multiple clinical data updates from INLIGHT, including body composition and body weight, are anticipated starting in 4Q 2025

Additional updates included announcement of WVE-008, PNPLA3 RNA editing candidate for liver disease, with CTA submission anticipated in 2026

Preclinical data supports Wave’s emerging pipeline of hepatic and extra-hepatic RNA editing and siRNA programs; emerging modality adds capability to simultaneously edit and silence two unique targets with a single oligonucleotide construct

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wave Life Sciences Ltd. (Nasdaq: WVE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on unlocking the broad potential of RNA medicines to transform human health, today announced Activin E target engagement data from its INLIGHT clinical trial of WVE-007, a GalNAc-siRNA, for the treatment of obesity during the company’s annual analyst and investor Research Day.

“We are incredibly excited to be observing potent, durable, and dose-dependent Activin E reductions with just single doses of WVE-007 in the first three cohorts of our INLIGHT clinical trial for obesity. This indicates our preclinical data are translating and affirms we have a potential best-in-class RNAi modality enabled by our proprietary chemistry, including PN,” said Paul Bolno, MD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wave Life Sciences. “We also continue to lead the field in RNA editing. With the successful clinical translation of WVE-006 for AATD, we are further expanding our editing pipeline and have now selected WVE-008 as our PNPLA3 RNA editing clinical candidate for liver disease. WVE-008 is on track to enter clinical development next year with the filing of a CTA. In addition to that, we are pioneering a new modality by uniting editing and silencing in a single oligonucleotide construct. With multiple planned clinical updates across our RNA editing and RNAi programs, Wave is in a unique position to unlock tremendous value from our robust RNA medicines pipeline.”

INLIGHT clinical study and target engagement update:

WVE-007 (GalNAc-siRNA): INHBE silencing approach designed to reduce fat while preserving muscle mass

Wave’s INHBE program has a strong foundation in human genetics. People living with naturally low levels of INHBE have lower levels of unhealthy visceral fat, lower fasting glucose and triglycerides, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Silencing INHBE mRNA aims to reduce Activin E levels, thereby inducing fat loss without impacting muscle mass.In Wave’s preclinical studies of mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO), single doses of GalNAc INHBE-siRNA led to potent and durable Activin E reductions of greater than 70%, and weight loss driven by reduction in visceral fat, without affecting muscle mass. Preclinical studies also support the use of INHBE GalNAc-siRNA as an add-on to GLP-1s or to curtail weight regain following cessation of GLP-1s. These reduced Activin E levels led to adipocyte shrinkage, fewer pro-inflammatory macrophages, less fibrosis, and improved insulin sensitivity in visceral adipose tissue, linking increased lipolysis to lower cardiometabolic risk.Today, Wave announced highly significant, dose-dependent Activin E reductions were observed in the first three cohorts of its ongoing INLIGHT clinical trial evaluating WVE-007 (3:1 active: placebo). The trial is designed to address safety and tolerability as well as target engagement (Activin E reduction). One-month follow-up was available from Cohort 2 (240 mg) and Cohort 3 (400 mg), and six-month follow-up from Cohort 1.At day 29 (one month post single dose), mean Activin E reductions from baseline were all highly significant (p<0.0001 for all doses): Cohort 3 (400 mg): 85% reductionCohort 2 (240 mg): 75% reductionCohort 1 (75 mg): 56% reduction The one-month reductions of Activin E observed in the 240 mg and 400 mg cohorts exceed levels that led to fat loss in preclinical models.In Cohort 1 (75 mg), Activin E reductions were durable throughout the 6-month follow-up, supporting WVE-007’s potential for once or twice yearly doing.WVE-007 is safe and well tolerated to date. An independent data monitoring committee supported dose expansion of the 600 mg cohort and dose escalation beyond that.WVE-007 aims to achieve fat loss on par with semaglutide by six months of follow up post-single WVE-007 dose.Next steps: Wave expects to deliver multiple clinical data updates from INLIGHT, including body composition and body weight: 4Q 2025: anticipated three-month follow-up data from the expanded Cohort 2 (240 mg), as well as data from Cohort 1 (75 mg).1Q 2026: anticipated six-month follow-up data from Cohort 2 and three-month follow-up data from Cohort 3.2Q 2026: anticipated six-month follow-up data from Cohort 3 and three-month follow-up data from Cohort 4. Additional details can be found in the company’s Research Day presentation.

Additional updates from today’s presentation:

WVE-006 (RNA Editing): potential first- and best-in-class therapy for AATD that addresses both lung and liver manifestations of the disease

The ongoing Phase 1b/2a RestorAATion-2 study is evaluating WVE-006, a GalNAc-conjugated RNA editing oligonucleotide, as a treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). The multidose portion of Cohort 2 is currently ongoing with monthly doses of 400 mg. Today, Wave announced Cohort 3 is now underway at doses of 600 mg of WVE-006.In September 2025, Wave announced WVE-006 has already achieved key treatment goals by restoring protein levels associated with lower risk of AATD liver and lung diseases. Total AAT levels reached 13 µM, wild-type M-AAT protein accounted for 64% of circulating total AAT after treatment, with a corresponding reduction in Z-AAT. Notably, WVE-006 restored the ability to dynamically produce therapeutically relevant levels of AAT protein during an acute phase response, with an individual reaching over 20 µM AAT protein.Next steps: 400 mg multidose cohort data expected in the first quarter of 2026; 600 mg single dosing is underway in the third and final cohort, with single and multi-dose data expected in 2026. WVE-008 (RNA Editing): potential first-in-class, disease modifying therapy for PNPLA3-I148M liver disease

Building on the successful clinical translation of Wave’s RNA editing capability, the company has selected WVE-008 as its clinical candidate for PNPLA3-I148M liver disease.There are an estimated 9 million homozygous PNPLA3-I148M individuals with liver disease in the U.S. and Europe. These homozygous carriers have a significantly higher risk of liver-related death compared to heterozygous carriers. Wave’s RNA editing approach aims to achieve at least 50% correction to restore the heterozygous phenotype with low risk of liver disease, similar to the approach with WVE-006.Next steps: Wave expects to file a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for WVE-008 in 2026. Wave’s platform innovations: extra-hepatic delivery and an emerging new modality

Through chemistry optimization tailored to target and cell type, Wave is expanding its emerging pipeline of siRNAs (SpiNAs) and RNA editing oligonucleotides (AIMers) to both hepatic and extrahepatic tissues, including skeletal muscle, heart, adipose, and kidney.Emerging modality adds capability to simultaneously edit and silence two unique targets with a single oligonucleotide construct. Wave presented preclinical data demonstrating that a single GalNAc-oligonucleotide construct upregulated LDLR protein and silenced PCSK9 mRNA.

Key Takeaways
Why did Solana’s price drop after the Bitwise ETF launch?
Despite $69M in inflows, traders took profits, triggering a 5% dip in SOL’s price.

What’s the main risk with the new Solana ETF?
Bitwise plans to stake all SOL in the fund, which could tighten liquidity during large redemptions.

Solana [SOL] didn’t waste time flipping the script.

Hours after the long-awaited Bitwise Solana Staking ETF [BSOL] went live, the token slipped; a classic case of “buy the rumor, sell the news.”

Is this dip simply a pause, or the start of a bigger cooldown?

Inflows strong, but redemption risks emerge
BSOL made a solid entrance yesterday, attracting $69.45 million in first-day inflows and bringing total assets to $289 million; roughly 0.27% of Solana’s market cap.

Source: X

While the launch shows Solana’s strong investor appeal, ETF expert Nate Geraci flagged a structural risk. Bitwise plans to stake 100% of the SOL held in the fund, so liquidity could tighten during large redemptions.

Source: X

According to Bitwise’s filing, if unstaking delays occur, the trust may exchange “Moderately Liquid Solana” (pending cooldown) for “Highly Liquid Solana” via third-party trades.

This is a process that could slightly reduce the fund’s NAV during high-redemption periods.

Ethereum seems to be having difficulty holding onto the $4,000 mark, and recent price movement suggests a possible double top formation, which could be problematic for bulls. ETH has once again been rejected near $4,200, following a promising attempt to regain lost ground earlier this month, indicating that upward momentum may be rapidly waning.

Ethereum’s structure is starting to resemble a double top on the daily chart, with one peak formed in mid-October and another formed more recently. Traditionally, this pattern has been interpreted as a bearish reversal signal, especially when combined with decreasing relative strength and trading volume. This story is supported by the RSI’s 47-point range, which shows neutral-to-bearish momentum and minimal signs of significant buying interest.

ETH/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe 50-day and 100-day EMAs, which both converge just above the current price, present significant technical resistance for ETH. Bullish attempts to break higher are consistently capped by this cluster, which is functioning as a significant ceiling. The 200-day EMA, around $3,600, is still the final line of defense before the market structure turns sharply negative.

HOT Stories

The next downward targets for Ethereum are $3,800 and $3,600, if it is unable to maintain a hold above $3,950-$4,000. A clear break below the latter might intensify selling pressure and possibly validate a more extensive downward trend that lasts into November.

The general mood does not help either; Ethereum is unlikely to survive unharmed as Bitcoin consolidates under pressure from liquidation clusters and general macro uncertainty. ETH is susceptible to an abrupt correction because of the market’s dwindling enthusiasm and low volume, which indicate that traders are adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

Shiba Inu close to losing againShiba Inu is flirting with danger once more, as its price action points to a possible continuation of the downward trend, which could result in an additional zero being added to its valuation. A faltering market is indicated by the meme token’s recent price movement, which has been marked by weak momentum, low trading volume and ongoing resistance from important moving averages.

At the moment, SHIB is trading at $0.0000102, barely above a thin ascending support line that prevents further declines. However, because the asset is still stuck below a group of significant exponential moving averages, this shaky uptrend lacks conviction. The green, orange and black lines, which stand for the 50-, 100- and 200-day EMAs, respectively, continue to function as strong resistance levels, effectively stifling any bullish attempts.

You Might Also Like

The overall trend is still categorically negative from a structural standpoint. SHIB has consistently formed a series of lower highs since peaking near $0.000015 in early September, indicating that sellers are in firm control. In the meantime, the RSI at 40 indicates mild oversold conditions, but it does not really show that buying strength will resume anytime soon. To put it another way, there is not a visible catalyst that could stop this decline.

SHIB has not produced significant inflows or drawn speculative volume — both of which are necessary for a token that mainly depends on retail hype, despite a brief stabilization phase. The next logical stop could be $0.000008, which would essentially add another zero to the price if the present support level around $0.0000095 fails to hold.

For the time being, the market is clearly communicating that sentiment is low and that Shiba Inu’s chances of recovering seem bleak in the absence of a strong fundamental or speculative driver. If buyers do not intervene decisively, SHIB’s next chapter may be characterized by yet another agonizing zero.

Bitcoin strugglingAs momentum wanes and market inflows stop, Bitcoin is still struggling close to the $115,000 mark, which is turning out to be nearly unbreakable. BTC has been consistently rejected despite multiple attempts to regain ground above this crucial resistance, indicating that buyers may be losing steam.

Bitcoin has not shown any clear strength in either direction over the last week, remaining between $112,000 and $115,000. Technically speaking, the structure is starting to level out, which is indicative of declining trading volume and indecision. The 200-day MA is currently lower, near $108,000, providing the only remaining clear support zone, while the 50-day and 100-day moving averages are pushing down on the price.

You Might Also Like

The lack of significant inflows into Bitcoin is concerning. Both exchange and on-chain data show that the amount of new capital coming into the asset has drastically decreased, indicating that both institutional and individual investors are being cautious. The market lacks the liquidity required to overcome strong resistance levels such as $115,000, where sizable clusters of sell orders are concentrated in the absence of new demand.

The Relative Strength Index, which shows no indications of significant accumulation or directional conviction, is one momentum indicator that reflects this sentiment. To put it simply, the market seems to be stuck between waning optimism and cautious realism. The likelihood of a deeper retreat toward $110,000 or even $108,000 increases if Bitcoin is unable to demonstrate consistent movement above $115,000.

In essence, that would reset the short-term structure, potentially trapping late buyers who were hoping for a breakout. As of right now, Bitcoin’s $115,000 price cap remains in place. The idea of Bitcoin breaking higher is still more of a wish than a realistic near-term expectation until inflows resume and conviction grows.

Sigma Prime's Anchor client, now live on Ethereum's mainnet, introduces client diversity to SSV Network's Distributed Validator Technology, enhancing security and performance for Ethereum staking.

In a significant development for Ethereum's staking infrastructure, the SSV Network has announced that the Anchor client, developed by Sigma Prime, is now operational on the Ethereum mainnet. This marks a pivotal moment for the network as it continues to evolve into a multi-client protocol, similar to Ethereum itself, according to SSV Network.

Advancing Client Diversity in SSV Network
The introduction of Anchor, a Rust-based validator client, enhances the SSV Network's Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) by providing a robust architecture and promoting client diversity. This diversity is crucial for minimizing risks associated with a single-client system, which can lead to vulnerabilities if bugs or failures occur. With approximately 14% of Ethereum validators secured by SSV DVT, the addition of a new client strengthens this critical component of Ethereum staking.

Prior to Anchor, the SSV node operated primarily on a single Go implementation. The introduction of Anchor allows for mixed clusters of Anchor and Go SSV, reducing correlated failures and increasing the fault tolerance of Ethereum validators.

Technical Advantages of Anchor
Anchor leverages Rust's memory-safety features and modern concurrency model to offer fewer runtime errors and better predictability. This is expected to result in higher stability for hybrid clusters. Additionally, operators benefit from enhanced observability through built-in metrics compatible with Prometheus and Grafana, along with HTTP APIs and monitoring hooks.

Another advantage of Anchor is its seamless migration path. It uses the same operator key formats as Go-SSV, facilitating easy transitions and hybrid setups with minimal retooling. As SSV technology evolves, Anchor's modular architecture positions it well for adopting future upgrades and features.

Implementing Anchor
For those looking to integrate Anchor into their operations, the process involves several steps, including stopping the existing Go-SSV node, backing up the operator key, and setting up Anchor with the necessary password files. This ensures a smooth transition and prevents conflicts from running dual operator instances.

After migration, operators should verify the node's performance and monitor for any issues. Known migration issues, such as key formatting errors, have been documented and can be resolved through minor adjustments.

Real-world Benefits
For professional node operators and staking services, adopting Anchor can mitigate the risks associated with single-client dependencies. In practice, this means that issues with one client, such as connectivity problems, will not disrupt validator duties in a hybrid cluster. This redundancy ensures continuous operation and reliability, which can be a significant competitive advantage.

As the Ethereum staking landscape continues to grow and evolve, the adoption of client-diverse clusters like those enabled by Anchor can provide operators with greater confidence in their infrastructure's resilience and performance.

Part of Ondo’s mission is to democratize access to US stocks and ETFs to non-US investors using blockchain tech, particularly those who lack access to Wall Street via brokerage accounts in their countries across Asia and Latin America.

“[Tokenized stocks] turn real-world financial products into blockchain-based assets—making them accessible 24/7, transparent, and efficient,” the team behind BNB Chain said.

Ondo’s solution launched on Ethereum two months agoAlmost two months ago, Ondo Global Markets tokenized US stocks and ETFs on Ethereum, securing over $350 million in total value locked and fueling nearly $670 million in onchain volume.

Ondo has become one of the largest RWA tokenization platforms since its launch in July 2021, tokenizing $1.8 billion worth of assets onchain, according to RWA.xyz.

There are roughly 28,370 holders of Ondo-tokenized financial products.
