Volatus Aerospace Inc.

Acquisition includes advanced suite of highly modular dual-use defense assets with near-term commercialization potentialSynergistic with the Company’s new Mirabel Innovation and Manufacturing Centre announced October 21, 2025This adds a line of multiple mass producible strategic UAS to Volatus’s in-house product portfolio
MIRABEL, Quebec, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSXV: FLT; OTCQB: TAKOF; Frankfurt: A3DP5Y/ABB.F) (“Volatus” or the “Company”), a Canadian leader in aerial intelligence and unmanned aircraft systems, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a suite of advanced RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) technologies from Caliburn Holdings LLP., a UK-based aerospace engineering firm. The acquisition marks a major step forward in strengthening Canada’s sovereign aerospace and defense manufacturing capacity.

The Purchase Price will be two million Canadian dollars (CA$2,000,000.00) (“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid in the form of Volatus Common Shares (“FLT Shares”). The Company will be issuing 2,631,579 common shares based on the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) ($0.76) on the date of signing of the definitive agreement.  One half of the FLT Shares (1,315,790) to be issued shall have the customary no-trade hold period of 4 months from the date of issuance and the other half of the FLT Shares (1,315,790) to be issued will have a no-trade hold period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The closing is subject to Board and regulatory approvals.

Separately, the Company has entered into performance-based bonus agreements with new employees transitioning from Caliburn to Volatus based on issuance of RSUs against seven distinct technical and revenue linked milestones in compliance with the equity incentive plan and subject to the Board approval.

Strategic Rationale

The acquisition delivers complete aircraft designs, validated flight-test data, detailed engineering documentation, and assets that form the foundation for a new generation of long-endurance, fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft systems to be manufactured and integrated in Canada. These aircraft are designed to meet operational needs across defense, public security, and critical infrastructure sectors.

At the heart of the acquisition are three scalable UAS platforms ranging in maximum takeoff weight from 100kg to 265kg. The aircraft are capable of carrying or integrating sensors and payloads from 15kg to 50kg; and flight endurance will be from 12 hours per mission to up to 7 days of continuous flight.

These strategic, multi-mission, ultra-long endurance UAS can cover the spectrum for border security, persistent surveillance arctic and maritime patrol, and critical infrastructure right-of-way inspection. The aircraft are modular enough to fulfil major military UAS role, individually and in squadron.

All platforms will be manufactured and integrated at Volatus Innovation and Drone Manufacturing Facility recently launched within YMX Innovation , a newly established national centre of excellence for advanced aerospace systems and the cornerstone of Volatus’ Made-in-Canada strategy, located at YMX International Aerocity of Mirabel. The facility will serve as the primary site for production, integration, and flight testing, supporting both domestic programs and allied export opportunities.

“This acquisition represents more than just new aircraft, it’s about building sovereign capability,” said Glen Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of Volatus Aerospace. “Canada has the talent, infrastructure, and strategic imperative to design and manufacture world-class uncrewed systems right here at home. By bringing this technology to Mirabel, we’re ensuring that critical aerospace innovation, jobs, and intellectual property stay in Canada while strengthening our ability to support NATO and allied partners.”

The original UK engineering team responsible for the aircraft designs will join Volatus and relocate to Mirabel to lead production, testing, and certification efforts. Their integration will ensure a seamless transfer of technical expertise, program continuity, and global market access.

Alignment with National Priorities

This transaction directly supports Canada’s defense-industrial policy objectives, increasing defense spending, repatriating procurement dollars, and expanding domestic manufacturing capacity. As Canada moves toward the 2 percent NATO defense-spending target, Volatus is positioning YMX International Aerocity of Mirabel as a cornerstone of the nation’s aerospace and defense ecosystem.

Today’s announcement perfectly embodies YMX Innovation’s mission: to establish our Aerocity as a national hub for advanced air mobility and next-generation aerospace technologies. By hosting major programs such as Volatus Aerospace’s new RPAS initiative on our campus, we are strengthening Québec’s position as a leader in innovation, technological sovereignty, and industrial transformation within the aerospace sector”, said Yves Beauchamp, President and CEO of ADM Aéroports de Montréal

Through this acquisition, Volatus Aerospace reaffirms its commitment to building a self-sustaining, sovereign aerospace ecosystem, combining Canadian engineering, allied technology transfer, and global market access. The next generation of long-endurance RPAS supporting defense, security, and environmental missions will be proudly designed, built, and supported in Canada.

The Transaction is expected to close on or about November 1, 2025.

Bitcoin's pace has slowed in recent weeks, but the network is far from quiet. Beneath the surface, a rare wave of activity from long-dormant wallets and a growing clash among core developers have brought fresh tension to the world's largest cryptocurrency.

The price move came hours after President Donald Trump said he expected to get a trade deal done with China soon.

Bitcoin price surged to $115,000 on Monday, rising more than 1% in 24 hours, as optimism over easing U.S.–China trade tensions and renewed investor appetite for risk assets lifted global markets. 

According to Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, Bitcoin price may “never fall below $100,000 again” if this week’s macro tailwinds continue.

In a note to clients, Kendrick said that improving trade relations between Washington and Beijing have flipped last week’s market fear into “hope.” 

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s weekend statement that restrictions on China’s rare earth exports could be postponed for a year, combined with reports that Beijing plans to buy large quantities of U.S. soybeans, sparked a relief rally across equities, commodities, and crypto.

China, U.S trade deals and FOMC rate cuts The agreement, expected to be finalized after the upcoming Trump–Xi summit in South Korea, has renewed risk appetite and pushed the bitcoin-to-gold ratio back above pre-October 10 levels — the date when 100% tariff threats sent markets tumbling.

Kendrick pointed to fresh inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs as another key signal of strength. Over $2 billion exited U.S. gold ETFs late last week, and if even half of that re-enters bitcoin funds, he said, it would mark a major vote of confidence. 

The analyst also highlighted macro tailwinds, including expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut at Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting — a move widely seen as bullish for bitcoin. 

Meanwhile, investors are watching a packed earnings calendar from both tech and crypto heavyweights. Microsoft, Meta, and Google are set to report on Wednesday, followed by Apple, Amazon, Coinbase, and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) later in the week.

“If this week goes well — bitcoin may never fall below $100,000 again,” Kendrick said.

Bitcoin price outlook While bulls have made modest progress with Bitcoin, stronger resistance remains overhead at $117,600 and $122,000, leaving bears largely in control. 

If Bitcoin manages to surpass $122,000, professionals note the next target could be the upper boundary of a broadening wedge pattern at $128,000.

Support levels remain critical for maintaining bullish momentum. The key short-term support at $106,900 held throughout last week, helping stabilize the market. 

Falling below this level could open the path toward the $105,000–$102,000 support zone, which has already been tested twice, with a third test raising the likelihood of a breakdown. 

Beyond that, $96,000 represents a crucial long-term support level for the broader bull market, acting as a do-or-die floor if prices decline further.

As of press time, bitcoin was trading at $115,041, up 1.22% over the past 24 hours.

CompaniesOct 27 (Reuters) - Canary Capital told Reuters that it plans to launch the first exchange-traded products in the United States tied to the litecoin and hedera cryptocurrencies on Tuesday morning.

The cryptocurrency asset management firm is forging ahead with the launch in spite of the shutdown of the U.S. government that has stalled or delayed most review functions of the Securities & Exchange Commission.

"We've had several interactions with the SEC" on both filings over the last year, Steven McClurg, Canary's founder and CEO, told Reuters. "We were very much ready to go" before the shutdown.

ETHZilla Chairman McAndrew Rudisill said the firm will continue to repurchase shares while ETHZ “trade at a significant discount to NAV."

XRP is staging a remarkable rebound, rising from early October lows of $1.77 to over $2.60, even as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prolongs its review of pending XRP ETF filings.

The delays have sparked mixed market sentiment, yet XRP’s trading volume and technical setup indicate growing bullish momentum. Over the weekend, XRP surged to $2.68, breaking critical resistance at $2.63 on a 147% volume spike, one of the largest in recent months.

This explosive move coincided with renewed optimism following Ripple’s strategic acquisitions, including the integration of Ripple Prime and GTreasury, which CEO Brad Garlinghouse said place XRP “at the center of everything Ripple does.”

Technical Indicators Strengthen the Bullish Outlook
From a technical perspective, XRP’s chart paints a clear bullish picture. The token has moved firmly above both its 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), key indicators of trend continuation.

It has also formed an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, historically signaling potential for higher highs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains near 70, showing strong demand despite slightly overbought conditions.

Analysts expect a confirmed breakout above $2.70 to set the stage for XRP to reach the $2.90–$3.00 range in the near term. Momentum indicators such as the True Strength Index (TSI) and rising open interest in CME XRP futures, which recently crossed $27 billion in notional volume, reinforce this bullish outlook.

However, traders are watching the $2.54–$2.58 support zone closely. A drop below this range could weaken momentum and invite short-term corrections.

Institutional Flows Signal Confidence in XRP’s Future
While ETF delays have briefly dented sentiment, institutional accumulation around XRP remains strong. The token’s rapid integration into U.S.-listed ETFs, expanding derivatives markets, and corporate adoption, including Evernorth’s treasury allocation, underscore growing confidence in Ripple’s long-term fundamentals.

Institutional demand continues to accelerate through vehicles like the REX-Osprey XRP ETF, which recently surpassed $100 million in assets under management, placing XRP as a mainstream financial instrument rather than a speculative token.

With global crypto market capitalization hovering near $3.8 trillion and the Federal Reserve’s upcoming rate decision expected to ease liquidity constraints, analysts believe XRP could outperform peers in the next leg of the bull cycle.

If buying pressure holds above $2.70, the $2.90 breakout target may only mark the beginning of a broader rally, one that cements XRP’s role at the heart of institutional digital finance.

Ethereum (ETH) has regained its bullish footing, rebounding from $3,850 to over $4,200 in the past few sessions. The steady climb signals renewed buyer confidence and suggests that Ethereum may be gearing up for a potential breakout attempt above the crucial $4,450 resistance zone.

ChatGPT's XRP Analysis has detailed a $2.61–$2.74 range with XRP near $2.68, volume higher and RSI near 41, above the 20- and 200-day EMAs yet below the 50- and 100-day levels. The XRP ETF has exceeded $100M AUM, Evernorth has reached 388.7M XRP, and Brad Garlinghouse has been reported in consideration for Trump's crypto group.

Key Takeaways
Are Ethereum’s layer-2 networks truly secure?
Vitalik Buterin says yes, but Anatoly Yakovenko warns L2s still face major security risks.

How much value do top Ethereum L2s hold?
Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Worldchain together secure over $35 billion in total value locked.

Ethereum’s [ETH] layer-2 networks are under scrutiny after a public clash between Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin and Solana’s [SOL] Anatoly Yakovenko.

The debate is on security; while L2s are meant to inherit Ethereum’s protection, some argue they bring new risks. The dispute has caused discussion among developers and investors about whether these scaling solutions are as safe as promised.

Buterin’s confidence in Ethereum’s L2 security
AMBCrypto previously reported on Vitalik Buterin’s confidence in the security model of Ethereum’s layer-2 networks.

He argued that L2s remain protected from 51% attacks since they inherit Ethereum’s base-layer finality. However, Buterin cautioned that risks emerge when validator sets take on functions outside Ethereum’s direct control, which could undermine those guarantees.

Source: X

His comments come as top L2s hold over $35 billion in TVL, supported by Ethereum’s more than one million validators.

Yakovenko challenges the narrative
There was one loud opposing view, though.

Solana’s Anatoly Yakovenko dismissed Buterin’s claims as “erroneous,” arguing that after years of development, L2s still face the same worst-case risks as cross-chain bridges like Wormhole.

Further, an Ethereum supporter disagreed with Yakovenko, saying there’s “nothing fundamental” stopping L2s from inheriting Ethereum’s security. They also argued that Stage 2 L2s already act like vault contracts with full L1 protection and that Yakovenko’s criticism ignores ongoing upgrades.

Yakovenko pushed back, insisting there is something “fundamental” that still makes it hard for L2s to reach full security.

A challenge, he said, that remains unsolved even after five years.

ETH v SOL: The year gone by
Over the past year, Ethereum and Solana have shown similar price trends, rising and falling almost in sync. Ethereum gained about 15.45%, while Solana climbed 7.39%.

Source: TradingView

Both saw strong rallies mid-year before cooling off in September, then slowly recovered into late October.

At press time, Ethereum held just a slight lead.

On October 27, 2025, the finance world witnessed a groundbreaking development: a major credit rating agency, S&P Global, assigned a credit rating to a Bitcoin treasury company for the first time in history. This move not only marks a significant milestone for Bitcoin's acceptance in traditional finance but also represents a broader shift in the perception of digital assets as credible components of corporate reserves.

The cryptocurrency topped $116K as tensions between the world's two largest economies showed signs of easing.

TL;DR

Standard Chartered indicates that this week could define a new Bitcoin floor at $100,000 due to a confluence of political and economic factors.
The forecast is based on recent trade developments between the U.S. and China.
Flows from gold ETFs and potential Fed rate cuts could favor BTC.

Standard Chartered warns that this week could mark a turning point for Bitcoin, with the $100,000 level emerging as a potential long-term floor.

Geoff Kendrick, the bank’s Head of Digital Assets Research, believes that the combination of macroeconomic factors, capital flows, and diplomatic progress could shape the next phase of the market.

Easing Tensions Between Trump and Xi Jinping
The bank’s optimism is grounded in the latest developments between the U.S. and China. Kendrick highlights that U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent signaled progress, including a one-year suspension of China’s rare earth export controls and an increase in soybean purchases from the U.S. In return, Washington would drop its 100% tariff threat. Final details are expected to be confirmed after the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Korea, scheduled for later this week.

This shift in the trade relationship has had an immediate impact on the markets. The USD–CNH pair fell to year-to-date lows, reflecting a stronger yuan and renewed confidence in global trade stability. The news has reignited risk appetite, benefiting Bitcoin and increasing its correlation with cyclical assets. Additionally, the Bitcoin–gold ratio began rising again, approaching levels seen before the recent tariff tensions, signaling reduced investor fear.

The Path Toward Bitcoin Institutionalization
Kendrick also notes that U.S. gold ETFs lost over $2 billion last week, suggesting a shift in investor preference. If at least half of those flows moved into Bitcoin ETFs this week, BTC would regain attractiveness relative to traditional instruments.

The macroeconomic calendar is adding pressure to markets. On Wednesday, the Fed is expected to announce a 25-basis-point rate cut, while expectations regarding monetary policy independence remain. Simultaneously, five of the largest U.S. companies—Microsoft, Meta, Google, Apple, and Amazon—will release earnings, totaling $15.2 trillion in market capitalization, adding further market volatility.

For Kendrick, a new all-time high could mark the end of the narrative centered on the halving cycle and establish Bitcoin as an asset backed by institutional flows. If the week unfolds favorably, BTC may never drop below $100,000 again, setting a strong floor for its long-term cycle

Q4 exposes the gap between attention-driven narratives and propositions with traceable cash generation. EcoYield enters the market with infrastructure that combines GPU clusters for AI with renewable power generation, two vectors with structural demand and operational metrics.

The design sets out two revenue sources, distributions in stable crypto assets, and governance via EYE, the native token. Pilots in Leeds and Dubai are mapped with deployment timelines, technical specs, and engineering partners responsible for execution.

With that in mind, while names like Ethereum and GhostwareOS also surface, when it comes to a crypto presale, $EYE is drawing most of the attention this quarter.

EcoYield: Real-World Yield Signals for Q4
EcoYield starts from infrastructure with two complementary revenue lines. High-performance compute generates cash by leasing GPU capacity to AI clients and decentralized networks. Solar energy with storage creates a revenue floor by selling surplus to the grid through purchase agreements.

The combination reduces sensitivity to mood cycles and anchors performance in usage and efficiency metrics. The pilots define the operating cadence. Leeds will feature modular compute units with rooftop PV and permits in progress, with rapid deployment after funding.

Dubai will deploy a lot of H100 GPUs integrated with a solar park and battery system, with studies completed and a 16-18 week window to go live. This enables tracking of GPU occupancy, estimated wholesale revenue for compute, and power exports under PPAs.

Execution is supported by engineering partners with an industrial track record. Deseco and JLM Energy, for example, are expected to cover site selection, technical design, and recurring operations with validated rollout standards.

For Q4, attention turns to the Leeds interconnection, physical progress in Dubai, availability of a dashboard with production data, and the first revenue entries. These elements underpin real-world yield in a quarter where energy costs and compute demand shape returns.

Ethereum: Execution and Cost-Curve Watchlist
Ethereum’s Q4 frame centers on steady execution and the cost trajectory. Focus is on the base-layer versus Layer 2 dynamic, with volumes moving to L2s for lower latency and more predictable fees.

The efficiency of the data pathway feeding those L2s, which determines effective per-transaction costs and the appeal of usage-heavy apps, also matters. So does the health of the developer ecosystem, measured by repository activity, release cadence, and maturity of tooling that simplifies life for teams running contracts in production.

Use cases with real traction tend to pull flow, such as corporate payments, games with their own economies, and data infrastructure for AI. When these vectors point to less friction and more predictability, the platform preserves network effects and consolidates an execution narrative, which often anchors longer-horizon positioning.

Compute and clean-energy revenues collected as on-chain stablecoin distributions.

XRP Price Drivers to Watch in Q4
The Q4 read on XRP starts with its role in settlement and remittances and unfolds into adoption and cost vectors. The first set of signals involves on-chain volume in specific corridors, the presence of providers with active integrations, and regular usage in payment flows.

The second tracks cost and settlement time versus alternative rails, plus available liquidity in major pairs, order book depth, and market maker presence. There is also the regulatory axis, which can change incentives for institutions and providers as reporting duties and risk controls advance across jurisdictions.

In scenarios of higher usage and competitive costs, the outlook tends to favor stability and an improved perception of value, an effect that often shows up in XRP price behavior during busier windows. If these vectors move together, XRP price finds stronger technical and informational support through the quarter.

GhostwareOS: Early-Stage Compute Play Under Scrutiny
GhostwareOS is a bet at the intersection of compute and Web3. It is described today as a set of privacy and identity tools for ghosts. The stage is early and validation depends on objective signals. The focus falls on team composition, active repositories, and a public delivery calendar.

Technical partnerships and product validation, such as privacy and identity tools, form the core of due diligence. Without these elements, the narrative becomes subject to attention cycles and volatility rises. In execution scenarios, the project needs to prove practical utility for its tools, active commits and repositories, as well as measurable integrations and adoption.

Conclusion: Q4 Crypto Presale
The Q4 landscape favors execution over narrative. EcoYield occupies the infrastructure lane with two revenue sources. Ethereum organizes the cost and scale axis with L2s growing steadily. XRP remains tied to adoption vectors and settlement cost, which directly shape short-term moves. GhostwareOS stays under observation until there are solid demos and working contracts.

In a quarter marked by selectivity, the central criterion is data visibility and delivered milestones, conditions that tend to support positions when they converge toward real cash-flow cycles. That is what EYE brings together in a project with potential. Join the crypto presale and take advantage of a bonus of up to 65% in Yield tokens.

The Litecoin ETF filing references S-1 registration number 333-282643, first submitted on Oct. 15, 2024. The HBAR ETF filing cites S-1 number 333-283135, initially filed on Nov. 12, 2024. Both products received S-1 amendments as recently as Oct. 7, 2025.

, XRP, and other digital assets. This regulatory shift follows the commission’s approval of generic listing standards for crypto ETFs earlier in September.

Canary Capital has also filed among the wave of spot XRP ETF applications awaiting SEC decisions. Multiple asset managers are pursuing similar products across various cryptocurrencies as institutional adoption of digital assets continues to expand. Data from blockchain analytics shows increased accumulation patterns among large holders ahead of potential ETF launches.

The next step for both Canary products requires the SEC to declare their respective S-1 registration statements effective. Until that happens, the shares cannot begin trading on Nasdaq. The regulator maintains authority to approve these filings at any time, though concerns over market manipulation remain part of its review process for new cryptocurrency investment products.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) rose more than 6% Monday to trade near $0.1536 after Enso confirmed a partnership with USD1, the Trump-backed stablecoin now approaching a $3 billion market value.

Trump-Linked Stablecoin Expands Into Cross-Chain DeFiEnso, a blockchain infrastructure provider, announced that USD1 will use its technology to deploy across multiple blockchains.

The integration allows USD1 to move through more than 250 protocols, giving traders access to deeper liquidity and faster transactions.

Founder Connor Howe said Enso's "shortcuts" are designed to make decentralized finance more efficient and attractive to major institutions.

He added that cross-chain access "enables liquidity and optimal pricing" for projects building on top of Enso.

World Liberty Financial, the issuer of USD1, is part of a broader crypto network backed by the Trump family.

The stablecoin launched in March and has quickly become one of the largest in circulation, supported by regulatory clarity following the Genius Act signed by President Trump in July.

That law gave stablecoins a formal legal footing in the United States and has accelerated capital inflows into the sector.

USD1 Nears $3 Billion ValuationAccording to company data, USD1's total market value is now close to $3 billion, ranking it sixth among global stablecoins.

Roughly 70% of its liquidity remains on BNB Chain, with Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)  accounting for another quarter.

The rest is distributed across Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), Tron (CRYPTO: TRX), and Aptos (CRYPTO: APT).

Following the Enso partnership, USD1 will also appear on platforms such as Dolomite, enabling users to trade, lend, and transfer the token between chains.

Analysts at Keyrock and Bitso expect the stablecoin market to continue expanding, projecting that stablecoins could make up 12% of global payments by 2030.

The broader sector has already grown more than 50% this year to about $308 billion in value.

WLFI Technical Setup Turns Constructive

WLFI Technical Analysis (Source: TradingView)

WLFI has spent several weeks consolidating within a tightening triangle pattern and is now showing signs of a breakout.

The token broke above its descending trendline on Monday, with resistance seen near $0.1600, where the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) sits.

A confirmed close above this level could open a move toward $0.18 and $0.20, key supply zones from earlier in October.

If momentum continues, a broader recovery could extend to the $0.24–$0.26 region.

Support is well-defined at $0.1350, which aligns with the ascending triangle floor and the 20-day EMA.

Holding that base is critical for maintaining bullish structure.

A break below would expose $0.12 and weaken the current trend.

Indicators show improving demand, with the supertrend already turning positive and all major EMAs now stacked below price.

Hive Digital surpassed 22 EH/s in its global Bitcoin mining capacity.
The company is converting a Tier 3 data center in Sweden for its AI cloud.
HIVE’s short-term goal is to reach 25 EH/s before Thanksgiving.

Hive Digital Technologies Ltd. announced a dual strategic milestone: surpassing 22 exahash per second (EH/s) in its Bitcoin mining capacity and accelerating its Hive Digital expansion in AI by repurposing a key data center in Sweden.

The mining company, known for being one of the first publicly traded companies to exclusively use green energy since 2017, has demonstrated exponential growth in 2025. After starting the year with 6 EH/s, Hive has managed to scale its hashrate capacity by over 200%, reaching the current mark of 22 EH/s.

With this momentum, Hive Digital has set an ambitious short-term goal: to reach 25 EH/s by U.S. Thanksgiving. This milestone would solidify its position as a relevant player in the global Bitcoin mining network.

Dual Strategy: Mining and AI Cloud
Parallel to its success in BTC mining, the most significant announcement is the rapid Hive Digital expansion in AI. The company is adapting its infrastructure to capitalize on what it calls the “AI super-cycle.”

The pillar of this strategy is the conversion of its data center in Boden, Sweden, into a Tier 3 facility optimized for the Artificial Intelligence Cloud and High-Performance Computing (HPC). This modernization will allow Hive to offer robust enterprise-scale AI solutions.

To power this new business line, Hive plans to deploy 2,000 latest-generation NVIDIA GPUs at the Sweden site. Furthermore, the company has revealed plans to install another 2,000 GPUs in its Toronto data center by 2026.

This dual strategy allows Hive to use the robust cash flow generated by Bitcoin mining to finance its diversification into the lucrative AI sector, merging blockchain infrastructure with the growing demands of advanced computing.

Bitcoin's making big moves, but not for the reasons many may think.

I personally find it very intriguing to follow not only the intraday moves in top-tier cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC +1.19%), but how such tokens perform over longer near- and medium-term spans.

Since 4 p.m. ET on Friday, Bitcoin has surged 4.3% higher on the back of what I think are three very important catalysts for investors to watch right now.

Aside from the macro noise underpinning broad-based market moves, which also affect Bitcoin, this is a unique digital asset with plenty of its own independent catalysts worth considering.

Let's dive into a few of those key metrics investors are watching, as well as the investment case around why Bitcoin still makes sense as a core holding for any portfolio right now.

More than just a currency or market hedge

Undoubtedly, the first big macro catalyst that's driving interest once again in Bitcoin surrounds the performance of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of global securities. The thinking is that if the U.S. dollar continues to decline in value relative to its global peers, the value of Bitcoin relative to the dollar should increase over time. That thesis has played out to a certain degree of late, given the weakness in the dollar we've seen, and it's a key catalyst investors are watching.

That said, there are competing factors at play driving the U.S. dollar higher and lower on an intraday basis. Hopes that China/U.S. talks will pick up could strengthen the dollar, but bets are that a weakening dollar tied to interest rate cuts courtesy of the Federal Reserve have overshadowed these positive catalysts. So, for now, Bitcoin remains the place for investors who are concerned about dollar weakness to park cash.

However, news around a group of developers on Bitcoin's blockchain who call themselves "Core" announcing plans to tweak Bitcoin's underlying software to increase the amount of information that can be held on a given block have re-infused a narrative around real-world use cases coming down the pike that could drive increased adoption. That's a second catalyst I'm paying close attention to, and think investors should as well.

But perhaps the third and bigger catalyst right now surrounds the so-called Bitcoin-to-gold ratio, in which investors measure the value of Bitcoin relative to other key safe haven assets like gold. With the recent decline in the price of gold, one might think this ratio would be historically depressed. It's lower than it was a week ago, for sure. But if this metric converges over time, the store of value argument may become more pertinent for investors looking for safe havens within their portfolios.

1inch partners with Innerworks to deploy AI-powered DeFi protection.
AI system predicts and neutralizes cyberattacks before they occur.
RedTeam simulations reveal 99% bypass rate for synthetic hacker attacks.

1inch, a decentralized exchange aggregator, announced a partnership with cybersecurity firm Innerworks to implement AI-driven protection for digital assets. The initiative introduces a predictive AI-powered immune system, designed to anticipate cyberattacks and neutralize threats before they occur. The collaboration combines Innerworks’ device intelligence and its RedTeam hacking platform with 1inch’s infrastructure, targeting vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols at scale.

The growth of DeFi has drawn sophisticated attackers capable of exploiting even minor weaknesses. While 1inch maintains strong defenses, the rise of AI-assisted hacking has changed the market. According to Sergej Kunz, Co-Founder of 1inch, AI allows the platform to anticipate malicious activity and adapt defenses proactively.

“By leveraging AI to anticipate their movements, we can proactively adapt our defenses to meet emerging threats. This commitment to continuous testing and improvement is what makes 1inch one of the most secure DeFi projects today.”

He emphasized continuous testing and improvement as the basis for 1inch’s security strategy, aimed at protecting its 25 million users without user intervention.

New layer of security, now live.

1inch integrates Innerworks’ AI-based threat detection — to stay one step ahead of synthetic attacks and bot fraud.

DeFi’s defenses can’t be static. Innerworks feeds real-time intelligence into our system, exposing hacker tactics before they…

From Defense to Digital Immunity
Innerworks’ AI system studies hacker behavior and feeds intelligence directly into 1inch’s defenses. Ethical penetration tests run continuously via RedTeam uncover vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. The system is designed to counter AI-generated synthetic attacks that imitate human activity online. This adaptive approach moves beyond static firewalls, creating a bio-inspired immunity model that evolves as threats change.

“Hackers are no longer just human,” added Oli Quie, Innerworks CEO. 

Oli Quie, CEO of Innerworks, highlighted that modern hackers are no longer purely human. “Hackers are synthetic, powered by AI, and capable of breaching every mainstream solution,” he said. RedTeam simulations show a 99% bypass rate, which Innerworks converts into actionable intelligence for collective defense.

“They are synthetic, powered by AI, and capable of breaching every mainstream solution. RedTeam proves this with a 99% bypass rate. By partnering with 1inch, we are converting this intelligence into a collective immune system that defends crypto – and eventually, the wider internet.”

The integration strengthens 1inch’s DeFi ecosystem, which includes swaps, self-custody wallets, and crypto debit cards, while ensuring security evolves with technological progress. Innerworks’ platform merges ethical hacking, behavioral AI, and decentralized learning to detect fraud and bot attacks. By adopting these tools, 1inch sets a new standard for intelligent, predictive defense in Web3, emphasizing resilience, continuous testing, and adaptive protection across the digital finance sector.

Sergej Kunz concluded, “We’re flipping the script on hackers. By leveraging AI to anticipate their movements, we proactively protect users and the broader crypto network.”

Hong Kong officially launched the ChinaAMC Solana ETF, becoming the third approved crypto spot ETF after Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The ETF debuted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a trading volume of HKD 11.39 million.
The fund allows cash and in-kind subscriptions, charges a 0.99% management fee, and supports trading in HKD, RMB, and USD.

Hong Kong has officially launched its first Solana spot ETF, the ChinaAMC Solana ETF, approved by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) as a Category III product. With this, it becomes the third crypto spot ETF authorized in the city, following those of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

How Did Solana’s ETF Debut Perform?
The ETF began trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a first-day volume of HKD 11.39 million, while the fund’s initial net assets totaled HKD 21.29 million, equivalent to approximately 13,461 SOL. The HKD counter closed at a –0.60% discount, signaling selling pressure. By comparison, its debut volume was about half that of the Ethereum spot ETF launched in April 2024, when three products went live simultaneously.

The ChinaAMC Solana ETF supports both cash and in-kind creations and redemptions, although it does not support staking for additional yield. The fund charges a 0.99% management fee and enables multi-currency trading, supporting Hong Kong dollars, Chinese yuan, and US dollars. These features aim to offer investors greater flexibility and more direct access to the crypto market.

The ETF was approved on October 22, 2025, and issued by China Asset Management (Hong Kong). Analysts note that its launch reflects the strong institutional adoption of digital assets in Hong Kong and the city’s push to diversify investment vehicles within its regulated financial market.

Hong Kong: A Financial Hub for Crypto
The ETF’s debut also demonstrates the ability of spot products to attract liquidity and gauge initial market demand. While the first-day trading volume was moderate compared to Ethereum’s ETF, the introduction of Solana broadens opportunities for investors interested in the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and its expanding decentralized application ecosystem.

Hong Kong continues to strengthen its role as a financial hub integrating regulated digital assets into traditional portfolios, offering structured and supervised alternatives for accessing the crypto market

Just a few weeks after a Singaporean court approved WazirX's parent company's restructuring plan, a decision out of one of India's courts could impact users.

13

An Indian high court issued a ruling that could impact how cryptocurrency exchanges handle claims filed by users following a hack or other incident potentially affecting their holdings.

In a ruling delivered on Saturday, Justice N. Ananad Venkatesh of India’s High Court of Judicature at Madras ordered crypto exchange WazirX’s operator, Zanmai Lab, to furnish a bank guarantee for about $11,800 as part of arbitration proceedings brought by a user over 3,532 XRP (XRP) holdings. Zanmai has custody of the tokens, which were frozen after a 2024 cyberattack resulted in the loss of about $235 million worth of crypto.

Ruling by Justice N. Ananad Venkatesh of India��s High Court of Judicature at Madras“Since the cyber attack took place, there are insufficient crypto currency tokens attributable to the platform’s user liabilities to satisfy unsecured crypto currency claims of its users,” said the Saturday filing.

“Hence, the [company] devised a solution for the benefit of platform’s users through a scheme of arrangement under the Singapore Companies Act, which would provide a mechanism for a fair and orderly manner of distribution pursuant to the scheme under the supervision of the Singapore Courts.”

In the same ruling, Venkatesh declared cryptocurrency was a property “capable of being enjoyed and possessed” and “being held in trust” for legal purposes, such as the claim the WazirX user made regarding her XRP tokens. WazirX is headquartered in India, but its parent company, Zettai, is based in Singapore, making the claims process for users legally complicated.

Last week, WazirX announced that it would restart its operations more than a year after the $235-million hack. The company relaunched trading on Friday as the first step of a phased reboot — the first movement since it halted transactions in July 2024. 

Restructuring plan in SingaporeAfter the 2024 hack, Zettai worked under Singapore’s legal system to develop a restructuring plan for affected users. The country’s high court approved the plan on Oct. 13, setting the groundwork for users to be repaid after more than a year in limbo.

With the court decision out of India — and many WazirX users based in the country — the implications for Zettai’s plan remain unclear. Cointelegraph reached out to WazirX for comment but had not received a response at the time of publication.
