Market Signal Briefing

Key Takeaways Alibaba's quick commerce segment grew 12% year over year, led by Taobao Instant Commerce.Heavy spending drove a 14% drop in adjusted EBITDA and negative free cash flow for Alibaba.Alibaba aims to build scale and efficiency through Ele.me integration and supply chain leverage.
Alibaba's (BABA - Free Report) aggressive bet on quick commerce is emerging as one of its most ambitious initiatives. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the segment delivered 12% year-over-year revenue growth, fueled by the success of Taobao Instant Commerce, which is rapidly reshaping the company’s e-commerce ecosystem. The platform has boosted user engagement, with average daily orders surpassing 80 million and monthly active consumers nearing 300 million, helping lift Taobao’s MAUs by 25%. These gains highlight Alibaba’s success in capturing demand within China’s fast-growing instant retail market.

This expansion, however, has strained profitability. Adjusted EBITDA declined 14% year over year, while free cash flow turned negative, reflecting the heavy capital demands of scaling instant delivery, fulfillment networks and merchant subsidies amid price wars with Meituan and JD.com.

Looking ahead, Alibaba views this spending as a strategic land grab designed to secure early market dominance. By integrating Ele.me’s on-demand delivery network and leveraging its vast supply chain, the company aims to build operational density that can reduce per-order logistics costs over time. With China’s high population density and strong consumer appetite for convenience, Alibaba is well-positioned to transform quick commerce into a profitable, high-frequency consumption model integrated across its platforms.

A 30 trillion RMB addressable market and the consensus estimate of 5% revenue growth in fiscal 2026 and 12% in fiscal 2027 support a strategic path toward long-term profitability and retail dominance.

Alibaba’s Race Against Quick Commerce ChallengersJD.com (JD - Free Report) is Alibaba’s closest rival in China’s instant retail race. JD.com is rapidly scaling its JD NOW service, partnering with local stores to deliver goods in as little as nine minutes. Leveraging its tightly controlled supply chain and advanced logistics network, JD.com ensures faster, more reliable fulfillment than competitors. However, its heavy investment in instant delivery and subsidies to match Alibaba’s spending spree could pressure margins, intensifying the competition for dominance in China’s quick commerce market.

PDD Holdings (PDD - Free Report) is emerging as a formidable challenger to Alibaba through its ultra-low-cost, asset-light model. PDD Holdings leverages Pinduoduo and Temu to drive massive user engagement and rapid scalability without heavy logistics investment. By prioritizing affordability, social commerce and efficiency, PDD Holdings challenges Alibaba’s capital-heavy model, giving it a strategic edge in global quick commerce and positioning it as a powerful rival in value-driven e-commerce markets.

BABA’s Share Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesBABA shares have surged 96.7% in the year-to-date period, outperforming the Zacks Internet – Commerce industry and the Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector’s growth of 5.1% and 3.3%, respectively.

Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT, ETR:WMT) has announced a new partnership with OpenAI to create AI-first shopping experiences, enabling customers and Sam’s Club members to shop directly through ChatGPT using an Instant Checkout feature.

Under the partnership, shoppers will be able to browse Walmart’s product assortment and complete purchases within the ChatGPT interface.

The AI-driven system, described by Walmart as “agentic commerce,” is intended to anticipate customer needs, helping plan meals, restock essentials, and discover products with minimal manual search.

“This is about moving eCommerce shopping from static search bars to dynamic, proactive AI experiences,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a statement.

“We are running toward a more enjoyable and convenient future with Sparky and through partnerships including this important step with OpenAI.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the collaboration aims to make everyday shopping simpler.

“It’s just one way AI will help people every day under our work together,” Altman said.

No specific launch date for the Walmart-ChatGPT integration has been provided, but the company indicated the feature will be available soon.

Walmart highlighted that it has already incorporated AI across its operations, including enhancing product catalogs, accelerating customer service response times, and optimizing internal production processes.

Employees are also being provided access to AI tools and training, including ChatGPT Enterprise and OpenAI certifications.

Shares of Walmart traded higher on the update, adding 3.4% at about $106.

(“Savara” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SVRA) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Savara securities between March 7, 2024 and May 23, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).Investors have until November 7, 2025 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Allegation Details:

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) the MOLBREEVI Biologics License Application ("BLA") lacked sufficient information regarding MOLBREEVI's chemistry, manufacturing, and/or controls; (ii) accordingly, the FDA was unlikely to approve the MOLBREEVI BLA in its current form; (iii) the foregoing made it unlikely that Savara would complete its submission of the MOLBREEVI BLA within the timeframe it had represented to investors; and (iv) the delay in MOLBREEVI's regulatory approval increased the likelihood that the Company would need to raise additional capital.Plaintiff alleges that on May 27, 2025, Savara issued a press release "announc[ing] that the Company received [a refusal to file ("RTF")] letter from the FDA for the [MOLBREEVI BLA] as a therapy to treat patients with [aPap]." Specifically, Savara revealed that "[u]pon preliminary review, the FDA determined that the [MOLBREEVI BLA] was not sufficiently complete to permit substantive review and requested additional data related to Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC)." On this news, Savara's stock price fell $0.90 per share, or 31.69%, to close at $1.94 per share on May 27, 2025. Next Steps:

October 14, 2025 12:18 PM EDT | Source: MineralRite Corporation
Dallas, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2025) - MineralRite Corporation (OTCID: RITE) ("RITE" or the "Company"), a Texas-based resource development company focused on mineral recovery and strategic asset monetization, today released its quarterly shareholder update outlining progress across multiple operational and capital-market initiatives.

Skull Valley Project
The Arizona State Land Department recently requested minor adjustments to RITE's Mine Operating Plan for its Skull Valley lease. RITE is completing those revisions, after which the lease renewal process is expected to conclude - enabling the Company to advance the next phase of preparatory operations leading toward the eventual recovery of values from the mine tailings.

Form 10 and Regulatory Progress
RITE has completed three rounds of responses to SEC Staff comments on its Form 10 registration statement and is preparing its response to a fourth SEC comment letter. The filing remains effective, and RITE continues as a fully reporting company. During the current federal government shutdown, SEC review activity is temporarily paused until offices reopen.

Share Reclamation and Capital Structure
Following the Company's February 6, 2025 announcement of share-reclamation initiatives, RITE reports that an additional 296 million shares are in the legal process of being returned to treasury, reducing potential dilution and enhancing shareholder value.

Capital Formation and Management Commitment
RITE's consultants - many of whom form part of the management team - continue to demonstrate long-term confidence through direct share purchases made under investment-rights provisions of their consulting agreements. This structure aligns management's financial interests with those of shareholders.

Regulation D Offering
The Company's Rule 506(c) Regulation D offering of Series D Convertible Preferred Shares has been fully subscribed. Remaining shares were acquired by entities controlled by RITE's advisory team, who also hold the Company's Series C preferred shares, and are subject to Rule 144 holding-period restrictions and trading-volume limitations. Even upon conversion, restrictions remain in place for all series of convertible preferred shares and the common shares into which they convert.

"We are extremely pleased that RITE's Regulation D offering was subscribed primarily by long-term, 'strong-hand' investors-insiders who are actively engaged in shaping the Company's strategic direction and who have willingly accepted resale restrictions as a reflection of their confidence in RITE's future," said James Burgauer, President of MineralRite Corporation. "Their continued commitment underscores the alignment between management and shareholders as we execute our long-term growth strategy."

Rule 15c2-11 and Market Status
With the Reg D offering complete, RITE understands that the final step toward the Company's Rule 15c2-11 application with FINRA is to achieve a "no-comment" status with the SEC. At that point in time, the Company expects that the long-standing "unsolicited quotes only" restriction on RITE common stock may be lifted.

Penny Stock Exempt Designation
On September 2, 2025, RITE's securities were designated Penny Stock Exempt by OTC Markets, eliminating certain trading restrictions and improving liquidity. The Company qualified based on its $432 million in previously processed mine tailings classified as chattel (personal property) and its sustained operations exceeding three years.

Regulation A Offering
RITE continues to receive inquiries from several investor groups interested in funding a Regulation A or similar equity financing. While management remains open to pursuing such funding in the future, it is presently focused on strengthening market value and limiting dilution. The Company believes that waiting until RITE's share price more accurately reflects the intrinsic value of its assets and strategic opportunities will enable any future Regulation A offering to be conducted on terms that are more favorable to existing shareholders. Management will continue to evaluate market conditions and capital needs before determining the appropriate timing and structure of any such offering.

Strategic Joint Venture and Future Initiatives
RITE continues to advance discussions with the U.S. affiliate of an international mining and resource-development group under a previously executed Letter of Intent. The contemplated joint venture is expected to lead operations at RITE's Skull Valley site in Arizona while also expanding into select urban-mining and precious-metal recovery initiatives.

Management Statement
"The RITE management team appreciates the continued patience and confidence of our shareholders," said James Burgauer, President of MineralRite. "While we may not issue frequent updates, every project remains active-quietly but steadily-until completion. Our focus is on transparency, disciplined execution, and building long-term value for all stakeholders."

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What’s Happening:

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Fly-E Group, Inc. (“Fly-E” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:FLYE) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Fly-E securities between July 15, 2025, to August 14, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).Investors have until November 7, 2025 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Allegation Details:

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company's projected revenue outlook and anticipated sales. In truth, Fly-E's optimistic revenue goals and demand for its EV products and services fell short of reality; defendants continually praised Fly-E's brand reputation in the industry, cost reductions and favorable pricing from suppliers as a key component for Fly-E's ability to grow its sales network, while simultaneously minimizing risks associated with its lithium battery, supply chain changes and the regulatory environment and possible demand fluctuations for its E-Bikes and E-Scooters.
On August 14, 2025, Fly-E filed with the SEC a form NT 10-Q: Notification of inability to timely file Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The filing revealed a significant 32% decrease in Fly-E's net revenue compared to the same period in 2024. Notably, defendants stated that the primary driver for the revenue decrease was a decline of "total units sold" as customers were less inclined to purchase E-Bikes due to an "increasing number of lithium battery explosion incidents in New York". Although there was mention of sector wide lithium battery incidents in the 10-K filed on July 15, 2025, none were specific to Fly-E's lithium battery. Further, Defendants reiterated the fact that the EV industry is "subject to extensive environmental, safety and other laws and regulations, which include products safety and testing, as well as battery safety and disposal." On this news, the price of Fly-E's declined dramatically, from a closing market price of $7.76 per share on August 14, 2025, to $1.00 per share on August 15, 2025, a decline of about 87% in the span of just a single day. Next Steps:

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Fly-E shares and suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Marion Passmore by email at [email protected], telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.

Key takeaways:

Ether price dropped 8% to $3,940 on Tuesday, triggering $115 million in long ETH liquidations.

A bull flag on the weekly chart suggests a $10,000 target, but bulls must hold $3,800 first.

Ether (ETH) was down on Tuesday, dropping more than 8% from Monday’s highs above $4,300 to trade at $3,940. Despite this correction, traders remain optimistic that the ETH price will rise higher as long as key support levels hold.

Ether wipes out $115 million in long ETH positionsEther’s bearish performance today was accompanied by significant liquidations across the crypto market.

According to data from CoinGlass, more than $650 million leveraged crypto positions have been liquidated over the last 24 hours, with $455 million representing long liquidations.

Long Ether liquidations amounted to $114.5 million, with the tally continuing at the time of publication.

ETH liquidation heatmap. Source: CoinGlassThis means that long traders were caught off guard by Ether’s drop to below $4,000. The largest single liquidation order occurred on the OKX crypto exchange involving an ETH/USD pair worth $5.5 million.

The CoinGlass liquidation heatmap showed several bands of buyer interest below the spot price, with bid orders worth over $743 million sitting between $3,670 and $3,800. This suggested that the ongoing correction might be capped at this level.

Is Ether’s uptrend over?Market analysts suggest that the ETH price is undergoing a technical correction to retest key support levels before resuming its uptrend.

MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said that Sunday’s drop saw the ETH/BTC pair plunge to 0.032, which was an “ideal zone for buys.”

“​​$ETH hit the ideal zone for buys and I think it's ready for a trend switch,” van de Poppe wrote in a Tuesday X post, adding:

“It needs a higher low and then we’re off toward new highs.”ETH/BTC daily chart. Source: Michael van de PoppeFellow analyst Daan Crypto Trades said while the 0.032 level has “held nicely,” the ETH/BTC pair needs to break above 0.041 to continue the uptrend. 

Analyzing the ETH/USD pair, Titan of Crypto said the relative strength index, or RSI, had broken out of a multi-year downtrend, suggesting a massive breakout was imminent. 

If the fractal plays out as seen in July 2020, Ether’s price could continue its uptrend with the upside target set between $8,000 and $10,300, based on Fibonacci levels.

“#ETH breakout is loading.”— Titan of Crypto (@Washigorira) October 13, 2025
Ether’s downside may be capped at $3,800, according to pseudonymous analyst Chimp of the North. 

The analyst shared a chart suggesting that the altcoin could continue its retracement to retest the $3,800  support before launching another rally toward the $5,000 and above.

As Cointelegraph reported, ETH could return to $4,500 over the next few days after the Ethereum futures markets stabilized from Friday’s crypto flash crash. 

Ether’s bull flag targets $10,000From a technical perspective, ETH price is still trading within a bull flag pattern in the weekly time frame, a bullish setup that forms after the price consolidates inside a down-sloping range following a sharp price rise.

Ether is now retesting the lower boundary of the flag, currently at $3,870, which is acting as immediate support. 

The bull flag will resolve once the price breaks above the upper trendline at $4,440, opening the path for the continuation of the uptrend toward the technical target of the bull flag at $10,050 — up 164% from the current price.

ETH/USD four-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewConversely, the RSI has dropped to 54 from 74 over the last seven weeks, suggesting that the ongoing correction may go on for longer as profit-taking continues.

A daily candlestick close below the support level at $3,800 will put Ether's price at risk of dropping first to the 20-week SMA at $3,700 and later to $3,500.

How $800 hardware can sniff Bitcoin miner traffic via satellite Liam 'Akiba' Wright · 35 seconds ago · 4 min read

New research shows many GEO downlinks are unencrypted. If your pool uses Stratum V1 over satcom, passive eavesdroppers can read job templates and IDs.

Oct. 14, 2025 at 3:50 pm UTC

4 min read

Updated: Oct. 14, 2025 at 2:37 pm UTC

Cover art/illustration via CryptoSlate. Image includes combined content which may include AI-generated content.

UC San Diego and the University of Maryland researchers have reported findings showing that roughly half of GEO satellite downlinks carry data without encryption.

Further, data interception can be reproduced with just $800 of consumer hardware.

Per WIRED, the team captured telco backhaul, industrial control traffic, and law-enforcement communications, and reported fixes to affected providers where possible.

UCSD’s Systems and Networking group lists the paper “Don’t Look Up” for CCS 2025 in Taipei, reinforcing that this is not a lab curiosity but a documented, peer-reviewed disclosure pipeline. The method targets legacy satellite backhaul rather than any single application layer.

Moreover, the study covered only a slice of visible satellites from San Diego, which implies a wider global surface.

Bitcoin in space – new risks from cheap hardwareFor Bitcoin miners and pools operating from remote sites, the exposure maps cleanly to one operational choice: transport security on the path that carries Stratum.

Stratum is the protocol that connects miners to pools, distributes work templates, collects shares and block candidates, directs hashpower, and determines how rewards are accounted for.

Historical deployments of Stratum V1 often run over plaintext TCP unless operators explicitly enable TLS, which means pool endpoints, miner identifiers, and job templates can traverse radio links in the clear when satcom backhaul is in play.

The Stratum V2 specification ships with authenticated encryption by default, using a Noise handshake and AEAD ciphers, which closes the passive interception angle and hardens integrity against share hijack attempts that depend on manipulation of upstream traffic.

According to the Stratum V2 security spec, operators can bridge older rigs through a translation proxy, so firmware swaps on ASICs are not required to start encrypting sessions.

This satellite finding does not implicate every “Bitcoin over space” system.

Blockstream Satellite broadcasts public Bitcoin block data as a one-way downlink, and its Satellite API supports encrypted messages from senders, which places it in a different category than GEO backhaul, which transports private control traffic.

Per Blockstream, the service exists to improve network resilience for receiving blocks in regions with poor internet access and not to carry pool credentials or miner control sessions. Blockstream’s May network update confirms ongoing operations and frequency changes, and does not change the threat model for Stratum links that miners control.

Budget pressure matters for security rollouts. Hashrate is hovering near 1.22 ZH/s, and recent miner economics put hashprice around $51 per PH per day in late September, with the forward curve in the high-forties to low-fifties into the first half of 2026.

According to Hashrate Index, the updated Q4 2025 heatmap details country shares, which helps infer where satellite backhaul is more common due to terrestrial constraints. Present revenue conditions mean operators watch operating costs closely, yet the primary expense for transport encryption is engineering time, not new hardware, which lowers friction for near-term hardening.

A simple sensitivity model frames the downside if network portions still send Stratum V1 over unencrypted satellite links.

Security modelingLet H denote total hashrate near 1,223 EH/s, and define p_sat as the share using satellite backhaul, p_geo as the share of those on GEO rather than encrypted LEO or terrestrial, and p_v1 as the share still running Stratum V1 without TLS.

At-risk hashrate equals H × p_sat × p_geo × p_v1. The ranges below illustrate order-of-magnitude exposure and the value of migration to TLS or Stratum V2.

ScenarioAssumptions (p_sat / p_geo / p_v1)EH/s at confidentiality riskLow0.5% / 30% / 20%0.37Base1% / 50% / 40%2.45High3% / 60% / 50%11.01Worst-case5% / 60% / 60%22.01The operational guidance follows directly from the protocol stack.

First, enforce TLS across all Stratum V1 endpoints and on the routers in front of them. Then, prefer Stratum V2 for new links and add an SV1→SV2 translation proxy where hardware constraints exist.

TLS 1.3 handshakes are complete in one round trip, and production measurements show low CPU and network overhead on modern systems.

The performance cost is limited in most deployments, which clears a common objection for remote sites that watch latency and utilization. According to the Stratum V2 spec, authenticated encryption protects both confidentiality and integrity of channel messages, which removes the easy win for passive eavesdroppers documented by the satellite study.

Backhaul choices matter beyond header encryption.Where operators can avoid legacy GEO, an encrypted LEO service or terrestrial path reduces interception risk, although no transport choice replaces endpoint hygiene.

When GEO remains necessary, enforce encryption at every hop, disable insecure management interfaces on satellite modems, and monitor for anomalies in share patterns and endpoint drift that could reveal interference.

The UCSD and UMD work shows that downlink interception is cheap and scalable with commodity hardware, which weakens any assumption that radio links escape attention due to physical distance from the adversary.

Providers, including T-Mobile, addressed specific findings after disclosure, which shows that remediation is practical once visibility exists.

Can this be patched?The next year will determine how quickly pools and miners normalize encrypted transport. One path is secure by default, where pools accept V1 only over TLS and promote V2 broadly. Translation proxies smooth the transition for older fleets, compressing the window for interception.

A slower path leaves a long tail of unencrypted or partially encrypted sites, creating opportunistic exposure for actors with uplink interference capabilities.

A third path resists change and banks on obscurity, which becomes harder to justify as tools from the study percolate and proof-of-concepts move from academia to hobbyist communities.

None of these trajectories requires protocol invention, only deployment choices that align with well-understood primitives.

Confusion around Blockstream Satellite can distract from the actionable fix. Pool credentials do not live in the broadcast of public block data, and its API supports encrypted payloads for user messages, which separates resilience from control-plane privacy.

The service strengthens receive-side redundancy for the Bitcoin network in regions with weak connectivity, and does not replace transport security on miner-to-pool links.

The study makes one point clear for operators who run from the edge on radio backhaul: plaintext control traffic is now trivial to observe, and encrypting Stratum is a straightforward, low-overhead fix.

The operational path is TLS for V1 today, then Stratum V2.

Noderunner riskNode operators, or “noderunners,” face a different risk profile than miners because Bitcoin nodes typically receive and relay public blockchain data rather than private credentials or payment instructions.

Running a full node does not require transmitting sensitive authentication material over a satellite link; the data exchanged, blocks, and transactions are already public by design.

However, if a node relies on GEO satellite backhaul for bidirectional internet access, the same exposure that affects any unencrypted TCP traffic applies: peers, IPs, and message metadata could be observed or spoofed if transport encryption is absent.

Using Tor, VPNs, or encrypted overlay networks like I2P minimizes this footprint.

In contrast to miners using Stratum V1, node operators are not leaking value-bearing control traffic but should still encrypt management interfaces and network tunnels to prevent deanonymization or routing interference.

Vaulta is extending its infrastructure stack with Omnitrove, a treasury management solution that integrates directly with its ecosystem, offering native connectivity and utility for its native token.

Summary

Vaulta announced Omnitrove, a treasury platform set to launch in early 2026, integrating 25+ blockchains, exchanges, and banks into one system.
The platform aims to modernize institutional treasury management with AI-driven forecasting, multi-party controls, and enterprise-grade compliance.
Omnitrove expands Vaulta’s Web3 Banking OS, enhancing interoperability between crypto and traditional finance systems.

According to a press release shared with crypto.news on Oct. 14, the Vaulta Foundation will launch Omnitrove, a new treasury management platform, in early 2026. The platform is designed to function as a central hub within Vaulta’s existing Web3 Banking OS, aggregating data from over 25 blockchain networks, major centralized exchanges, and traditional bank accounts.

Vaulta said Omnitrove will incorporate enterprise features such as multi-party approvals and is planned to include AI tools for real-time forecasting and capital optimization for organizations managing both fiat and crypto assets.

Vaulta’s expansion into enterprise-grade Web3 infrastructure
Vaulta’s introduction of Omnitrove marks a pivotal step in its effort to establish a full-stack operating system for digital finance. While the company’s earlier work focused on the underlying network layer, building scalable, low-cost blockchain infrastructure, Omnitrove extends that foundation into enterprise operations.

The platform’s role as a treasury hub is strategic: it positions Vaulta as a key intermediary between blockchain-based assets and traditional financial systems, where most institutional capital still resides.

“As the digital asset market surpasses $4 trillion and continues to expand, most finance teams are still managing operations through manual spreadsheets; limiting scale, visibility, and risk oversight. Omnitrove is built to change that, unifying fragmented operations and helping institutions maintain stronger financial health,” Vaulta Foundation CEO Yves La Rose said.

To achieve this unification, Omnitrove’s initial connectivity is notably broad. At launch, the platform will integrate with major blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and its own native Vaulta chain, alongside Layer 2 ecosystems such as Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

Notably, this on-chain data will be combined with information from major centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken, as well as traditional bank accounts that are supported.

This multi-source approach is significant because it reflects the real-world composition of an institutional portfolio, which is rarely held in a single venue. The planned out-of-the-box integrations with back-office systems such as QuickBooks and NetSuite further underscore the focus on fitting into existing corporate audit trails rather than forcing finance teams into an entirely new environment.

Embedding deeper utility for the Vaulta token
The launch also deepens the utility of Vaulta’s native token, $A. Within the Omnitrove ecosystem, the token is slated to power a system of platform rebates and incentives. Organizations that stake $A can expect to reduce operational fees and unlock premium features, creating a demand-side use case tied directly to a business expense.

Vaulta is a scalable Banking Operating System acting as a gateway to the Bitcoin ecosystem and a pioneer in decentralized data management. With its high-performance architecture, low transaction costs, and customizable virtual environments, Vaulta’s broader mission has been to bridge Web3 with institutional-grade performance.

On Tuesday morning, The Monad Foundation opened a MON token airdrop claims portal using the popular web3 wallet for authentication.

Key Takeaways
How severe was Bitcoin’s latest drop?
Despite the sell-off, 90% of the BTC supply remained in profit, showing limited panic or forced exits.

What triggered the correction?
Excess leverage caused $132 million in short liquidations, but long-term holders stayed composed, keeping BTC’s base stable.

Bitcoin’s [BTC] latest sell-off looked steep, yet it did not mirror the panic collapses seen in 2022’s Luna or FTX crashes. The evidence points to a leverage reset, not a crisis of confidence.

Over 90% of BTC’s supply is still in profit
Glassnode’s data showed that over 90% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply remained in profit despite the recent decline. That divergence indicated most realized losses came from overexposed traders and top buyers, rather than long-term holders.

That is a critical distinction, as it suggests that the correction was structural rather than emotional.

Source: Glassnode

No sign of 2022-style capitulation
During the Luna and FTX collapses, the Percent Supply in Profit metric fell below 65%, marking panic-driven capitulation phases. Those were textbook capitulations — moments when everyone rushed for the exits.

This time, the setup was completely different.

The recent decline wasn’t fueled by fear or spot holders selling under pressure. Instead, it stemmed from excessive leverage in the derivatives market, which eventually had to unwind.

As the market moved against overexposed traders, their forced liquidations triggered a rapid, mechanical chain reaction – sharp and sudden, but not emotionally driven.

Source: X

Leverage unwound, not confidence
CryptoQuant’s Short Liquidations data revealed that around $132 million worth of shorts were liquidated near the $112,000 price zone. That cascade wiped out over-leveraged traders and dragged prices lower, but it also helped reset the market structure.

The short-squeeze was a clear sign that the market flushed out excess leverage and set a cleaner base for the next phase.

Source: CryptoQuant

Bitcoin long-term holders stayed composed
In past capitulations, long-term wallets sent BTC to exchanges — a classic panic signal.

This time, the Long-Term Holder Supply stayed steady, while the Short-Term Holder Supply rose, showing newer traders led the selling.

That is a sign of growing maturity in the market. Long-term investors did not flinch, and that steadiness helps prevent deeper collapses.

Source: CryptoQuant

Bitcoin’s valuation remains balanced
At press time, Bitcoin’s MVRV Z-Score sat at 2.15, suggesting that BTC was neither overvalued nor deeply discounted.

Historically, readings below 1.0 signal major bottoms, while above 6.0 mark euphoric tops.

Source: CoinGlass

Taken together, the data show this correction was a healthy reset. Leverage unwound, conviction stayed strong, and Bitcoin’s structure looks ready for the next accumulation cycle.

The US Department of Justice has filed a civil forfeiture complaint against approximately 127,271 bitcoin — valued at more than $14 billion — allegedly linked to an international fraud and money laundering network.

Federal prosecutors said the bitcoin, described as “proceeds and instrumentalities” of criminal schemes, was seized from unhosted wallets controlled by Chen Zhi, founder and chairman of the Cambodia-based Prince Holding Group. The funds are now in U.S. custody, per a press release.

The action marks the largest cryptocurrency forfeiture in the department’s history, the DOJ said. 

An accompanying indictment unsealed in the Eastern District of New York charges Chen, also known as “Vincent,” with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. According to prosecutors, Prince Group operated forced-labor compounds across Cambodia where individuals were coerced into running “pig butchering” scams, or fraudulent operations that defrauded victims in the U.S. and abroad of billions of dollars. 

Chen remains at large, US officials said. The FBI’s New York Joint Asian Criminal Enterprise Task Force and the Bureau’s Virtual Asset Unit participated in the investigation.

“As alleged, the defendant directed one of the largest investment fraud operations in history, fueling an illicit industry that is reaching epidemic proportions,” United States Joseph Attorney Nocella said in a statement.

Investigators allege that Chen and his associates laundered criminal proceeds through luxury purchases and high-value assets, including yachts, private jets, rare collectibles, and a Picasso painting acquired via a New York auction house. 

If convicted, Chen faces up to 40 years in prison.

This is a developing story.

Jerome Powell’s update to shake markets up? Whales brace themselves for a dip, but there’s a twist.

Market Sentiment:

Bullish

Bearish

Neutral

Published:
October 14, 2025 │ 2:09 PM GMT

Created by Gabor Kovacs from DailyCoin

Blockchain intelligence company LookOnChain just reported a fresh wave of bearish allocations on several major-cap altcoins, as well as Bitcoin (BTC). In further detail, the three crypto whales in question have made humongous profits during the previous bear cycles.

Highly-Profitable Bear Goes Hard On XRP & ETHWith the most profitable out of the three whipping up $160 million gains from Bitcoin (BTC) & Ethereum (ETH) shorts on last weekend’s crash, two other heavyweight-class crypto players took inspiration, placing cross shorts on Dogecoin (DOGE), Pepe Token (PEPE), Ripple (XRP) Ethereum (ETH), Aster coin (ASTER) & Solana (SOL).

In the first instance, the crypto whale put a brave XRP coin short play with 20x leverage, and is already $263K down in unrealized profits, despite XRP’s price moving just 4 cents above the entry value. An identical play on Ether (ETH) is also down $157K, despite Ethereum’s price dropping back below $4K on Tuesday morning.

Divisive Market Instability Ahead Of FED SpeechHowever, this short-selling crypto whale is up $3 million in unrealized daily profits, as the other three short-selling plays with significantly smaller leverage seem to go their way. With Dogecoin (DOGE), Pepe Token (PEPE) & Aster coin (ASTER) all sharing 3-5x multiplied leverage, the whale expects these altcoins to dip further down.

Due to current market instability, the set of these 5 leveraged short-selling plays on XRP, ETH, PEPE, DOGE & ASTER could go both ways. The overall market sentiment shifted from last week’s greed to fear today, tumbling from 70 to 38 in a matter of days. However, Solana (SOL) might have exceeded expectations of some bears.

The third crypto whale in question poses a different example, with the 20x leveraged Solana (SOL) price play falling short with $1 million in unrealized losses. Ultimately, crypto market watchers are expecting a further dip during the FED Chair Jerome Powell’s speech today.

This assumption might encourage more crypto whales to book profit before the Fed Chair drops knowledge on the economic situation later on today, even though a mention of a Fed rate cut is still plausible.

On The Flipside
Since last Friday, most altcoins trashed their previous resistance thresholds, including XRP below $2.5 & Dogecoin below $0.20.
For some analysts, this serves a favorable entry point as most major-caps are already 25-35% down in monthly terms.
Why This MattersLeveraged trading is at an all-time high, racking up billions in trading volumes daily. However, the adoption of leverage on the crypto markets magnifies liquidation risks due to exposure to potentially larger gains.

People Also Ask:What caused whales to short XRP, PEPE Token & Dogecoin?

The move likely stems from anticipation of the Powell speech, as investors adjust positions based on expected monetary policy shifts.

Why are whales targeting these specific cryptocurrencies?

XRP, PEPE & Dogecoin may be seen as volatile or speculative, making them prime targets for shorting ahead of major economic announcements.

What is the Powell speech?

It refers to a speech by a key financial figure, likely Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, which can influence crypto markets.

How might this affect the average crypto investor?

Shorting by crypto currency whales could lead to price drops, creating risks or buying opportunities for smaller investors.

What should investors do in response?

Stay informed with DailyCoin, monitor market trends, and consider consulting a financial advisor before making moves.

Summarize this article with:

Canary Capital is moving closer to securing regulatory approval for its cryptocurrency investment products. On Friday, the firm filed an updated registration document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its proposed Canary XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). The submission, titled Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Form S-1 Registration Statement, represents another step forward in the ongoing review process that could lead to final market approval.

In Brief

Canary Capital has filed an updated registration with the SEC for its proposed Canary XRP ETF, signaling continued progress toward potential approval.
Analysts believe XRP could see a major price breakout toward double digits once the SEC grants ETF approval.
Canary Capital has also advanced its Solana ETF, the Canary Marinade SOL ETF, which offers a 0.50% expense ratio.

Key Updates in the Amended XRP ETF Filing
According to the filing, the Canary XRP ETF will trade on the Cboe BXZ Exchange using the ticker symbol XRPC. The fund’s main goal is to track the market value of XRP held by the trust, minus any operating expenses or related liabilities. Essentially, it aims to mirror XRP’s price performance through a traditional investment format.

The ETF’s valuation will rely on a pricing reference designed by CoinDesk Indices, which acts as the benchmark provider. This index applies a 60-minute time-weighted average price based on the XRP-USD CCIXber Reference Rate, using transaction data drawn from several leading XRP trading platforms. The approach helps establish a fair and consistent benchmark for the trust’s XRP holdings by smoothing out price volatility and avoiding the influence of short-term price spikes.

Through this structure, investors can gain exposure to XRP without directly holding the cryptocurrency. Buying and selling shares of the ETF through a standard brokerage account removes many of the complexities and risks tied to self-custody, such as private key management and digital wallet security.

To safeguard its digital assets, Canary has partnered with Gemini Trust Company and BitGo Trust Company as custodians. These firms are responsible for securely storing the trust’s XRP and ensuring its protection. The updated document also confirms a reduced sponsor fee of 0.50%, reflecting a lower cost for investors compared to earlier drafts of the filing.

Canary Capital Updates Solana ETF Filing
Alongside progress on its XRP product, Canary Capital has also filed a new amendment for its Canary Marinade SOL ETF, which centers on Solana. The filing notes that the ETF carries a 0.50% expense ratio and will allow investors to receive the full staking rewards generated from Solana’s network, with no portion retained by the sponsor. This structure could make the product more attractive to those looking for both Solana exposure and additional returns through staking.

ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that Canary has filed Amendment No. 6 for the Solana ETF, a signal that the fund may be approaching its final approval phase. 

XRP and Solana See Shifts in Funds Inflows
While anticipation continues to build around both the XRP and Solana ETFs, recent investment inflows into these digital assets have eased. CoinShares’ weekly report on digital asset fund flows, released on October 13, shows that:

Solana saw inflows of approximately $93.3 million last week, reflecting continued investor interest.
XRP recorded around $61.6 million in inflows over the same period, showing steady engagement in the market.
Despite the significant amounts, the report notes that inflows have slowed, suggesting some investors are waiting for the SEC to finalize ETF approvals before committing additional capital.

Financial analyst Zach Rector believes that ETF authorization could provide a major price boost for XRP once the SEC completes its review. He indicated that “after this government shutdown ends the XRP ETFs are going live. We will be well on our way to double digits.”

At the time of writing, XRP was at $2.52, down 2% over the past 24 hours, while Solana was at $203, up about 3% during the same period.

Bulls might need more time to accumulate energy for a continued upward move, according to CoinStats.

Top coins by CoinStatsDOGE/USDThe rate of DOGE has fallen by 4.48% over the past day.

Image by TradingViewOn the hourly chart, the price of DOGE is near the local support of $0.1948. If a bounce back does not occur until the end of the day, traders may witness a level breakout, followed by a test of the $0.19 mark.

Image by TradingViewOn the longer time frame, a further correction remains the most likely scenario. The volume is low, which means traders are unlikely to see sharp moves anytime soon.

In this regard, there is a high possibility of seeing a decline to the $0.18 range.

Image by TradingViewFrom the midterm point of view, the rate of DOGE is far from key support and resistance levels. In this case, one should focus on the interim zone of $0.19. If the weekly bar closes below that mark, the drop may continue to the $0.15-$0.17 zone.

DOGE is trading at $0.1954 at press time.

Yet, on-chain metrics and macro signals suggest this is just a healthy reset, paving the way for stronger rallies ahead. Bitcoin Price Crash Sparks Debate Over Bull Market Fate Matt Crosby.

On October 14, 2025, MicroStrategy made headlines by announcing a significant addition to its Bitcoin holdings, investing $27 million to acquire approximately 1,000 bitcoins. This bold move by the business intelligence firm comes amidst ongoing criticism from prominent Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff, who has repeatedly questioned the prudence of such investments.

Bitcoin has swung wildly this week as the gold price soars and stock markets plunge on fears Trump could reignite the smoldering U.S. trade war with China, with a bitcoin price "flash crash" over the weekend sparking a serious BlackRock warning.

Now, Musk, who has said his new political party would support bitcoin over the U.S. dollar, has praised bitcoin for being "based on energy" and agreed the bitcoin price has soared amid dollar "debasement" designed "to fund the AI arms race."

"AI is the new global arms race, and capex will eventually be funded by governments (U.S. and China). If you want to know why gold/silver/bitcoin is soaring, it's the "debasement" to fund the AI arms race," the ZeroHedge X account posted, adding: “But you can't print energy.”

Musk responded, saying: “True," and adding: "That is why bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.”

Musk, who has said he personally holds bitcoin, ethereum and the meme-based dogecoin, also agreed with a reply to his post that said, “dogecoin is also based on energy.”

Bitcoin, which is secured by a network of so-called miners who use powerful computers to validate transactions in return for newly issued bitcoin, uses as much electricity each year as some small countries, with its energy demands climbing along with its price as more miners join the network.

Musk, who helped Trump back into the White House with campaign rallies and warnings over the spiraling U.S. debt pile that passed $37 trillion this year, dramatically fell out with Trump after he failed to rein in government spending, while Musk’s own department of government efficiency (Doge) initiative has so far failed to make the multi-trillion dollar savings it originally promised.

ForbesSerious BlackRock ETF Warning Issued After ‘Extreme’ $500 Billion Bitcoin And Crypto Price ‘Flash Crash’By Billy Bambrough

The bitcoin price has rocketed higher this year, helped by Elon Musk's continued support for bitcoin and warnings over the future of the U.S. dollar.

Forbes Digital Assets

Musk’s support for bitcoin and crypto has waned from its Covid-era peak, though Musk has continued to give backing to bitcoin, as well as his "favorite" cryptocurrency dogecoin.

Following his White House exit, Musk said his America Party would favor bitcoin over the U.S. dollar, with Musk branding the dollar and other non-asset backed currencies as “trash.”

Disquiet over so-called fiat currencies has grow in the years following the huge 2008 financial crisis bailouts that directly led to the creation of bitcoin and then Covid lockdown stimulus measures that flooded the economy with trillions of freshly printed dollars.

Government stimulus and supply chain-distrupting lockdowns sparked massive global inflation, which some fear has put the U.S. dollar into "death spiral" as the Federal Reserve is forced to create more dollars to pay off interest on its existing debt.
