DEX volumes on the Hedera blockchain surged 151% in the 30 days to October 9, pushing monthly trading to around $110M, yet demand for spot HBAR ETF exposure has not kept pace with on-chain activity.
Decentralized exchange activity on the Hedera network has surged sharply over the past month. According to @MSBIntel, DEX volumes on the @Hedera blockchain climbed 151% in the 30-day period leading up to October 9, pushing total monthly volume to around $110 million.
On-Chain Activity Accelerates The jump in DEX volume fits a broader pattern of rising network activity on Hedera. Data from DefiLlama shows Hedera's 30-day DEX volume sitting near the $95 million mark, with Earlier in October, before the more recent acceleration that took the 30-day figure higher still.
, which analysts tend to view as a stronger signal of genuine network usage than speculative price action alone.
ETF Demand Has Not Followed On-Chain Growth Despite the improvement in DEX metrics, the surge has not translated into a corresponding uptick in demand for regulated spot $HBAR exposure. , and it remains the primary vehicle for investors seeking regulated access to the token. However,
, leaving a clear gap between the network's on-chain momentum and the institutional appetite measured through listed products. Whether the latest DEX volume figures are enough to revive that interest remains to be seen.
For now, Hedera presents a split picture: a network generating meaningful and growing decentralized trading activity, while the broader investment community continues to assess whether that on-chain growth will ultimately support a sustained re-rating of the token.

SushiSwap has deployed Hyperliquid's $HYPE token on Robinhood Chain for the first time, using LayerZero for cross-chain bridging as part of its broader multichain expansion strategy.
SushiSwap Bridges $HYPE to Robinhood Chain via LayerZero@SushiSwap has deployed @HyperliquidX's $HYPE token on @RobinhoodCrypto Chain, marking the first time the asset has been available for trading on the network. The integration was made possible through @LayerZero_Core, which serves as the cross-chain bridging layer connecting $HYPE to the growing Robinhood Chain ecosystem.
The partnership with @LayerZero_Core allows users to buy, trade, provide liquidity, and launch tokens using $HYPE directly on the chain. The move adds a notable DeFi-native asset to a network that has quickly become one of the more closely watched Layer 2 launches of 2026.
What Is Robinhood Chain? Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum L2 for tokenized stocks and real-world assets, built on Arbitrum Orbit. It launched a public testnet on February 10, 2026, and went live on mainnet on July 1, 2026. Tokens that track stocks like NVDA and AAPL trade 24/7 on-chain as Stock Tokens, settle in seconds, and plug directly into DeFi.
SushiSwap's presence on the chain is already well established. All new token launches on Robinhood Chain via RevShare now route exclusively to SushiSwap V3. The addition of $HYPE signals that $SUSHI intends to go further, bringing established DeFi-native assets onto the platform rather than limiting its role to new token issuance.
The launch forms part of SushiSwap's broader multichain strategy , and the team is expected to bring additional assets to Robinhood Chain in the coming months. For $HYPE, the listing represents its first footprint on the L2, opening up a new venue for traders and liquidity providers who are active on the network.
The LayerZero ecosystem includes DeFi projects such as SushiSwap, and these projects use LayerZero to overcome multichain challenges such as liquidity fragmentation. That infrastructure is central to this integration, enabling $HYPE to move across chains without requiring a new native deployment from scratch.

Uniswap has surpassed $6 billion in cumulative protocol fees, with nearly $147 million generated in the past 30 days alone, underscoring its dominance as the leading decentralized exchange.
@Uniswap has crossed a significant milestone, surpassing $6 billion in cumulative protocol fees. According to on-chain data, the decentralized exchange has now generated $6.07 billion in total fees since its launch, cementing its position as the dominant force in decentralized trading.
Fee Surge Fuelled by Multi-Chain Expansion The milestone has been driven in large part by a sharp rise in recent activity. $UNI generated close to $147 million in fees over the past 30 days alone, reflecting a period of sustained trading momentum across the protocol.
Much of that surge can be tied to Uniswap's expanding multi-chain footprint. More recently, Robinhood Chain has become a notable driver of volume.
Fee Switch Adds a New Economic Layer for $UNI Holders Beyond the raw fee figures, a structural shift is underway in how those fees flow.
For a protocol that has quietly processed trillions of dollars in trading volume, the $6 billion fee milestone is less a finishing line than a marker of how deeply embedded @Uniswap has become in on-chain finance.

Uniswap, Sky Ecosystem and Venice AI's VVV token led crypto losses this week, each posting double-digit declines as a broader market selloff hit altcoins hard.
Three altcoins stood out for all the wrong reasons over the past week, posting some of the steepest declines among crypto majors as a broad market selloff weighed heavily on risk assets.
@SkyEcosystem's $SKY fell 20.3%, @AskVenice's $VVV dropped 19.6%, and @uniswap's $UNI lost 16.7%, making them the worst performers of the week among established tokens. @Dashpay's $DASH and @Mantle_Official's $MNT also recorded double-digit losses.
A Difficult Week Across the Board The losses did not occur in isolation.
Altcoins, as is typical in sharp risk-off moves, suffered far steeper pullbacks than Bitcoin itself.
SKY Weighed Down by Multiple Headwinds For $SKY in particular, the selloff was compounded by token-specific concerns. , though the combination of weak sentiment and low liquidity left $SKY especially exposed.
The pattern is consistent with what analysts have flagged as a contraction in risk appetite, where smaller-cap assets tend to amplify Bitcoin's moves on the downside.
With macro pressures including elevated Treasury yields and geopolitical uncertainty still in play, the near-term outlook for altcoins remains cautious.

In an odd twist in the saga of continuous leaks related to the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), an anonymous leaker has said that he/they might leak the entire game.
An anonymous entity (or person) going by the name CyberLeek has apparently revealed that he/they have a complete, playable build of GTA 6 with the full storyline. As part of an announcement on October 10 titled 'The Offer,' the leaker has made the bold claim that he/they will drop the full game build when the CYBERLEEK token reaches a $30 million market cap.
The leaker, CyberLeek, has also made a conditional offer for GTA 6 publisher Take-Two Interactive to avoid having the game dumped. As per the offer, Take-Two needs to commit to providing physical discs of the game and publish an apology. There has been no confirmation regarding the legitimacy of the full game.
HOT Stories
The CYBERLEEK token is a Solana meme coin that the leaker has been using alongside the leaked footage. The market cap of the CYBERLEEK token at the moment is around $2.87 million, not even close to the stated target.
Long history of leaks around GTA 6A new set of leaks began surfacing on Aug. 18 as CyberLeek began releasing snippets of gameplay footage featuring GTA 6's protagonists Jason and Lucia. It showed new activities inside the game.

It seemed like the leaker had direct access to a playable development build rather than just a compilation of previously recorded footage. Also, the leaker was seen using watermarks and links in the leaked content to advertise his cryptocurrency.
Later, Rockstar finally confirmed the leaks and went on to say that it was a heartbreaking experience for its development team to see the unauthorized footage leaked. Meanwhile, Take-Two tried to procure subpoenas from different technology companies, including Microsoft and Discord, to identify the source of the leaks.
After staying relatively quiet for several weeks, CyberLeek dropped another set of leaked gameplay footage (around 25 minutes) on Oct. 8. It was said to feature new cutscenes, first-person driving, and other clips that had never been seen before.
There are still no verifiable claims that CyberLeek has the full story mode of GTA 6 or the promised full build in a deliverable, playable form.
The game is expected to launch on Nov. 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
An anonymous GTA 6 leaker known as CyberLeek has threatened to release the entire game before its November 19 launch if a Solana-based meme coin reaches a $30 million market capitalization, according to a statement published on October 10.
Summary
CyberLeek claims a complete GTA 6 build could be released after CYBERLEEK reaches $30 million. The anonymous account demanded physical game discs and a public apology from publisher Take-Two Interactive. Rockstar has scheduled GTA 6 for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles. CyberLeek previously circulated gameplay footage, including approximately 25 minutes of clips released on October 8. No independent evidence has established that CyberLeek possesses a complete playable version of the game. According to an October 11 report by Wolf’s Gaming Blog, the individual or group behind CyberLeek claims to possess a complete playable version of Grand Theft Auto VI, including its main storyline.

— Goaty (@goatyishere) October 11, 2026 The statement follows the circulation of additional unreleased gameplay footage on October 8, when the same online identity published approximately 25 minutes of material reportedly showing characters, vehicles and activities from the upcoming title.
GTA 6 leaker makes $30 million cryptocurrency demand CyberLeek outlined the proposed arrangement in an October 10 statement titled The Offer, which appeared on a website associated with the anonymous account.
The message links the release of a purported complete GTA 6 build to the market value of CYBERLEEK, a cryptocurrency created on the Solana blockchain. The account claims that reaching a $30 million market capitalization would trigger the release of material containing the entire single-player campaign.
In the statement, CyberLeek wrote: “CYBERLEEK hits 30 million marketcap, the build goes out.” The account further claimed that the material would include the game’s storyline through its ending and credits.
However, the statement does not clearly establish whether the promised release would be a downloadable, playable game or recorded footage showing the campaign. CyberLeek offered to provide additional footage requested by viewers as supposed evidence of access to the complete game.
According to an October 10 report by Dot Esports, the anonymous account offered Take-Two an alternative to the cryptocurrency target.
Dot Esports The publisher could avoid the threatened release by committing to distribute GTA 6 on physical discs and issuing a public apology. CyberLeek has made similar demands about physical game ownership since footage first appeared in August.
Rockstar’s official support documentation confirms that the physical edition of GTA 6 contains a download code instead of a game disc. Rockstar Games Customer Support The company has not publicly agreed to change that arrangement in response to CyberLeek’s demands.
CYBERLEEK meme coin remains below the stated target The cryptocurrency connected to the alleged leaker had a reported market capitalization of approximately $2.87 million on October 11, according to Wolf’s Gaming Blog.
The figure was substantially below the $30 million level specified in CyberLeek’s statement. The reported valuation is a snapshot from October 11 and has not been independently verified against a live Solana liquidity pool or token supply record.
Market capitalization generally represents a token’s circulating supply multiplied by its trading price. It does not indicate how much cash buyers have invested or how much an individual holder could withdraw. CyberLeek previously used footage attributed to GTA 6 to advertise the token.
According to Dot Esports, the account published 15 gameplay clips during August, with some videos containing cryptocurrency promotional material and QR codes. The account reportedly encouraged token holders to participate in polls determining which clips would appear next.
During the August campaign, CYBERLEEK’s market value reportedly reached approximately $23.4 million before falling. Dot Esports reported that the valuation declined to approximately $11 million by August 26 and to roughly $3.2 million the following day.
The publication further reported that the account had withdrawn approximately $250,000 in trading fees during the earlier promotional campaign. That amount has not been independently verified through identified on-chain transactions.
The October 10 announcement introduced another cryptocurrency-related condition, this time linked to the alleged release of the complete game. No verified statement from Rockstar or Take-Two confirms that the token has any official connection to GTA 6.
Earlier GTA 6 footage prompted legal action from Take-Two CyberLeek first attracted attention in August after distributing footage presented as unreleased GTA 6 gameplay.
The material reportedly included scenes involving the game’s two protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Following the initial releases, Take-Two began pursuing legal measures intended to identify the source of the footage.
According to an August 23 investigation by TorrentFreak, Take-Two requested subpoenas involving Microsoft, Discord, X and Google.
The publisher sought records that could help identify individuals associated with distributing copyrighted game material.
Documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York described requests for account records, device information and identifying details associated with the CyberLeek name.
The filings followed copyright removal requests targeting videos circulated through online platforms. TorrentFreak reported that the footage included advertisements promoting CYBERLEEK on Solana.
The publisher’s legal actions concern the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material. They do not independently establish that the account controls a complete version of GTA 6.
In a later August 31 report, TorrentFreak described additional efforts by Take-Two to obtain Discord records while requesting confidentiality around parts of the investigation.
The publisher said the inquiry was continuing and sought additional information connected to accounts involved in distributing footage. Take-Two’s legal filings have not resulted in a publicly confirmed identification of the person controlling the CyberLeek website.
New GTA 6 footage appeared before the latest crypto demand After several weeks without a major public release, CyberLeek circulated approximately 25 minutes of purported GTA 6 gameplay footage on October 8.
The new material reportedly showed first-person driving, vehicle activities, cutscenes and character interactions. An October 9 report by GamesRadar described the footage as the account’s largest recent release.
The publication reported that the clips contained scenes involving Jason and Lucia, including sequences not shown in Rockstar’s promotional trailers.
However, short gameplay clips do not demonstrate that the person distributing them possesses the entire completed game. Footage can originate from a development build containing only selected environments, missions or testing tools.
There has been no public independent examination confirming that CyberLeek can play through GTA 6’s complete campaign. Rockstar has not authenticated the October 10 claim that the leaker possesses the entire game.
The account’s identity remains unconfirmed, and the announcement does not establish whether the person operating its website is the same individual responsible for every earlier video.
Rockstar keeps GTA 6 release scheduled for November 19 Despite the latest claims, Rockstar continues to list November 19, 2026, as the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI. The company announced the date on November 6, 2025, after moving the launch from its earlier schedule.
The game is scheduled for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Rockstar’s official store currently lists the game for preorder, with Lucia and Jason as the central characters in a story set in the fictional state of Leonida.
The developer has provided official trailers, screenshots and information about the game’s setting and characters. Customers purchasing the physical edition are expected to receive a download code, with preloading scheduled to begin November 12.
According to Rockstar’s published purchasing guidance, the physical package will not include a game disc.
The company has not announced a change to the release date or physical distribution plans following CyberLeek’s October 10 statement. Take-Two has not publicly accepted the anonymous account’s demands for physical discs or a formal apology.
Its existing legal investigation has centered on identifying those responsible for distributing unreleased gameplay footage.
According to GMGN data, Solana-based meme coin Super Inu (SI) has surpassed $30 million in market capitalization, with a 24-hour gain of 32.1% and trading volume of $4.3 million. The development comes as SpaceXAI’s official X account—another entity under Elon Musk, following Tesla—has been renamed. The account is now called SpaceX Super Intelligence, with its handle changed from @SpaceXAI to @SpaceXSI, and Musk himself shared a screenshot of the updated account. On October 4, Musk publicly stated, “No longer called AI, SI is better.” He later promised netizens he would rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, and just six days after that announcement, the account has officially been updated. The move follows an executive order signed by Trump earlier, which requires U.S. federal agencies to replace “artificial intelligence” (AI) with “superintelligence” (SI) in official use. While the mandate does not apply to private companies, the official accounts of Tesla and SpaceXAI have already made the switch sequentially. BlockBeats reminds users that related tokens are highly volatile, so investors should exercise caution.
An anonymous leaker known as CyberLeek has claimed possession of a complete, playable build of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), alleging that they have access to the full storyline and gameplay features. This follows a series of unauthorized leaks and mounting anticipation ahead of the game’s official launch.
Leaker’s demands linked to CYBERLEEK tokenCyberLeek announced on October 10 that the complete GTA 6 build would be publicly released if the CYBERLEEK token, a Solana-based meme coin associated with the leaker, achieves a $30 million market capitalization. As of now, the token is valued at approximately $2.87 million, falling significantly short of the stated target.
The leaker also addressed GTA 6 publisher Take-Two Interactive, stating that to prevent the full game leak, the company must distribute physical discs of the game and issue a formal apology. Take-Two Interactive is a leading video game publisher, best known for franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. There has been no verification of CyberLeek’s claims about possessing a finalized, playable version of the game.
The CYBERLEEK token was highlighted in the leaks, with watermarked footage and embedded promotional links directing attention to the asset.
Mini dictionary: Solana meme coin, a type of cryptocurrency token launched on the Solana blockchain, often inspired by internet culture or trending topics.
CyberLeek claimed they would release the entire GTA 6 build “when the CYBERLEEK token reaches a $30 million market cap,” demanding specific concessions from Take-Two Interactive to avoid a mass leak.
Escalation of GTA 6 leaksThe ongoing leak saga intensified on August 18, when CyberLeek began sharing snippets of GTA 6 gameplay featuring characters Jason and Lucia. These leaks included in-game activities and new gameplay footage, suggesting access to a development build rather than previously seen material.
Rockstar Games, the developer behind GTA 6, eventually acknowledged the situation, expressing disappointment at the unauthorized distribution and describing the leaks as distressing for the development team.
Take-Two Interactive pursued subpoenas directed at technology companies such as Microsoft and Discord in an attempt to uncover the identity of those behind the breaches.
On October 8, CyberLeek released roughly 25 minutes of additional gameplay, including unseen cutscenes, new first-person driving segments, and other unreleased content.
The footage released included never-before-seen sequences, raising further concerns within the development community and among fans awaiting the official release.
Remaining uncertaintiesDespite the bold claims, there is still no independent confirmation that CyberLeek possesses a full version of GTA 6 or the complete story mode in a functional format. The authenticity and scope of the leaker’s access remain in question.
Grand Theft Auto 6, developed by Rockstar Games, is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
11 October 2026 | 16:57 A token in a wallet can track Apple or Nvidia one-for-one while the company’s official shareholder register carries a different name. Securitize’s new stock tokens place both parts of that arrangement in view.
Key Takeaways Securitize launched tokenized security entitlements for 12 U.S. stocks on Solana. The company says each token is backed 1:1 by an underlying share. Holders own a security entitlement through Securitize Markets. Dividends and applicable voting rights are designed to pass through that structure. Direct registration depends on a later issuer and transfer-agent process. The words behind Securitize’s new stock tokens On October 8, Securitize launched Securitize Stocks, a Solana-based offering tied to 12 U.S. equities, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Amazon and Netflix. Trading begins through the company’s registered broker-dealer platform for eligible users in permitted jurisdictions, with settlement in USDC.
The significant detail sits in the product’s legal description. Securitize Stocks are security entitlements backed one-for-one by the relevant underlying shares. The company’s disclosure says that holders are not registered shareholders of Apple, Nvidia or the other issuers unless they complete a supported conversion process.
That does not reduce the token to a simple price bet. Securitize says the entitlement is structured to preserve the applicable economic benefits of the underlying security, including dividends and, where the share class carries them, voting rights. It does, however, define the route through which those benefits reach the investor.
Layer one
The token in the wallet
The investor controls a blockchain-issued instrument, subject to the product’s transfer, eligibility and compliance terms.
Layer two
The security entitlement
Securitize Markets maintains the legal claim linking the holder to the underlying stock position and its stated rights.
Layer three
The issuer’s share record
The underlying company’s transfer agent does not automatically record the token holder as a shareholder in the investor’s own name.
The entitlement links the wallet to the share A security entitlement is a familiar part of the U.S. securities system. Many conventional investors also hold shares through a broker or custodian instead of appearing directly on a company’s register. Their economic position depends on a recognised claim maintained through that intermediary.
Securitize applies that model to a blockchain token. The token can move through an onchain environment, while the broker-dealer and related market infrastructure maintain the link to the supporting share. The product therefore combines a wallet-based instrument with the legal framework that normally sits behind a brokerage position.
That arrangement gives the holder more than exposure to a price chart, but it also means the investor should read the entitlement terms as closely as the token’s backing claim. A one-for-one reserve answers one question: whether a corresponding share supports the token. It does not answer every question about corporate actions, transfer restrictions or the investor’s status on the issuer’s books.
Dividends and votes travel through the same structure Securitize says its stock tokens carry applicable economic benefits, including dividends and voting rights where the underlying share class provides them. Those benefits pass through the entitlement structure rather than arising from a wallet address appearing directly on an issuer’s shareholder list.
That becomes relevant whenever the underlying company takes an action beyond ordinary trading. Stock splits, cash or stock dividends, tender offers, mergers, delistings and trading halts all require an operational process. The token holder needs to know who receives the corporate-action notice, how instructions are collected, and how the resulting cash, shares or voting rights are delivered.
These are not unusual concerns created by blockchain. They exist across conventional broker-held securities as well. Tokenization adds another record—the token on the blockchain—which makes it easier for buyers to assume that wallet control alone settles every ownership question.
A wallet key controls the token, not the whole system Private-key control and shareholder registration describe different parts of the same investment. A private key can establish control over a token where the product permits wallet transfers. It cannot, on its own, replace the broker-dealer, custodian, clearing arrangements or transfer agent that support the underlying security.
Securitize’s release places those institutions inside the product’s design. Trading remains subject to onboarding, KYC and AML checks, securities laws and jurisdictional eligibility. The offering is therefore built for regulated securities markets, even though the investor-facing position can sit on Solana.
The company also describes future venues connected to the New York Stock Exchange and OKXICE, where wider trading hours and self-custody are among the intended features. Those venues have not launched, and their operation remains subject to regulatory and operational conditions. They should be treated as part of Securitize’s wider plan rather than as features available to every holder today.
Conversion is possible only under specific conditions Securitize calls its design a convertible entitlement token, or CET. The term matters because it describes a possible route from an intermediary-held entitlement to direct ownership recorded on an issuer’s transfer-agent books.
That route requires the underlying company to adopt issuer-sponsored tokenization and make the relevant transfer-agent process available. Until then, the investor holds the security entitlement described in Securitize’s documentation. Buying a token linked to Apple or Tesla does not create an automatic right to demand direct registration immediately.
Two products carrying the same ticker can therefore give their holders very different rights. A token may track a share price through a derivative, represent a certificate backed by stock, provide a security entitlement, or be issued directly by the company as its own share record. The ticker tells readers which company the token references; the legal terms explain what the investor owns.
That is why disclosure has become central to tokenized securities. The developing U.S. debate is increasingly focused on whether a blockchain balance represents direct ownership, a security entitlement or a separate contractual claim, as seen in the discussion around tokenized-stock investor rights and ownership disclosures.
Before buying a tokenized stock, check this The ticker is only the start of the due diligence.
Read the legal description. Confirm whether the token is a direct share, an entitlement, a certificate or a derivative. Identify the institutions behind it. The broker-dealer, custodian and transfer agent determine how the underlying position is maintained. Check corporate-action procedures. Product terms should explain how dividends, votes, mergers and stock splits reach the holder. Confirm conversion rights today. A future pathway to direct registration differs from a currently available conversion process. Review failure and transfer risks. Read the provisions on custody, insolvency, redemption, smart contracts, liquidity and restricted transfers. The token tells only part of the ownership story Securitize’s launch gives tokenized equities a stronger legal structure than a product designed only to mimic a stock price. One-for-one backing and a defined security entitlement can connect an onchain position to dividends, voting rights and established securities-market infrastructure.
The investor’s wallet still represents only one link in that chain. Before treating a tokenized stock as equivalent to a conventional share, buyers should identify the claim behind it, the institutions responsible for honouring it, and whether direct registration is available under the product’s current terms.

Tokenized securities may involve market, liquidity, custody, counterparty, smart-contract and regulatory risks. Investors should review the applicable product disclosures before investing.

Bitcoin’in 87.000 dolardan başlayan geri çekilmesi hafta sonunda da sona ermedi. BTC yaklaşık 36 saattir 83.000 dolar çevresinde yatay hareket ederken Starknet (STRK) son 24 saatte %53, haftalık bazda ise %105 yükseldi. Celestial piyasa sakinliğine rağmen TIA ve AERO da çift haneli kazançlarla öne çıktı.
Bitcoin’in perşembe günü 80.400 dolara kadar gerilemesinin ardından gelen tepki yükselişi 83.500 dolarda durdu. Şimdi piyasada iki ayrı hareket var: Bitcoin yön bulmaya çalışırken bazı altcoinler sert yükselişler kaydediyor.
Bitcoin Neden 83.000 Dolarda Sıkıştı? Bitcoin ekim ayına güçlü başladı ve ayın ikinci günü 87.000 doların üzerine çıktı. Ancak yükseliş kısa sürdü. Fiyat aynı gün 84.000 doların altına geriledi.
Hafta sonu 85.000 dolara doğru toparlanan BTC, pazartesi sabahı yeniden 86.600 doları denedi. Alıcılar bu seviyeyi aşamayınca satış baskısı geri döndü. Bitcoin önce 83.600 dolara, ardından çarşamba günü 82.400 dolara indi.
Satışlar perşembe günü daha da hızlandı ve BTC 80.400 dolarla birkaç haftanın en düşük seviyesini gördü. Cuma günü gelen tepki ise 83.500 dolarda karşılık buldu. O zamandan bu yana fiyat 83.000 dolar çevresinde hareket ediyor.
CoinMarketCap verilerine göre Bitcoin’in piyasa değeri yaklaşık 1,66 trilyon dolar, piyasa hakimiyeti ise %59,5 seviyesinde. Toplam kripto piyasasının değeri de 2,8 trilyon dolar civarında.
Hafta sonu yeni bir hareketlilik ihtimali de var. Suudi Arabistan’a yönelik yeni saldırılar ve Donald Trump’ın ABD’nin çatışmaya katılabileceğine ilişkin açıklamaları, pazar gecesi veya pazartesi sabahı volatiliteyi artırabilir.
STRK Neden Bir Haftada %105 Yükseldi? Piyasadaki en güçlü hareket Starknet’ten geldi. STRK, son 24 saatte %53’ten fazla yükselerek 0,11 dolara yaklaştı. Haftalık kazancı ise %105’i aştı.
Bu yükseliş, piyasanın büyük bölümünün yönsüz kaldığı bir dönemde gerçekleşti. Bitcoin 83.000 dolar civarında sıkışırken STRK’nın tek günde %53 yükselmesi, altcoinler arasındaki performans farkını belirginleştirdi.
Bununla birlikte kaynak, STRK’daki yükselişin arkasında belirli bir haber veya katalizör göstermiyor. Bu nedenle hareketi belirli bir gelişmeye bağlamak için yeterli veri bulunmuyor.
TIA ve AERO da Yükselen Altcoinler Arasında STRK’nın ardından çift haneli kazanç sağlayan diğer altcoinler Celestia (TIA) ve Aerodrome Finance (AERO) oldu.
TIA son 24 saatte %21 yükselerek 0,60 dolara, AERO ise %15 artışla yaklaşık 1 dolara ulaştı.
Büyük piyasa değerine sahip altcoinlerde ise daha sınırlı hareketler görüldü. Ethereum 2.500 dolar civarında işlem görürken XRP 1,40 doların altına indi. Zcash (ZEC) ve Hyperliquid (HYPE) yaklaşık %1 yükseldi.
BNB, Solana (SOL), TRON (TRX), Dogecoin (DOGE), Monero (XMR), Chainlink (LINK) ve Cardano (ADA) ise hafif kayıplarla işlem gördü.
Böylece hafta sonunda piyasanın genelinde güçlü bir yükseliş yaşanmasa da STRK, TIA ve AERO diğer coinlerden ayrıştı.
Bitcoin’in yeniden 85.000 doların üzerine çıkıp çıkamayacağı kısa vadeli görünüm açısından önemli. Altcoinlerde ise STRK’nın %105’i aşan haftalık yükselişini koruyup koruyamayacağı izlenecek. Ancak mevcut veriler, bu sert yükselişin devam edeceğini garanti etmiyor.

In brief U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are down a net $386.3 million for October after Wednesday’s $484.9 million exit, their worst day since June, despite a $21.1 million inflow on Friday. Ethereum ETFs extended their outflow streak to nine days, losing $635 million in October and nearly $700 million over the full streak. Solana ETFs are also negative for the month, at a loss of $24.8 million after five straight days of outflows “Uptober” isn’t living up to its name for crypto ETFs.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $21.1 million on Friday, according to Decrypt’s ETF tracker. That’s a modest bounce after back-to-back outflows of $484.9 million on Wednesday and $244.1 million on Thursday. Even so, the funds are down a net $386.3 million through the first seven trading days of October.

After the Senate’s failed cloture vote on the Clarity Act triggered heavy outflows in mid-September, Bitcoin ETFs reeled off a nine-session inflow streak worth roughly $3 billion. That run pushed 2026’s year-to-date flows back into positive territory.
Ethereum ETFs have fared worse. The funds shed $56.1 million on Friday, extending their outflow streak to nine straight trading days.

Solana ETFs are also in the red for October, though on a much smaller scale. The funds lost $3.8 million on Friday, their fifth straight day of outflows, bringing October’s net total to a loss of $24.8 million. Their only inflow this month was $1.3 million on Oct. 2.

MAJURO, Marshall Islands, Oct. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Remittix has opened PayFi access to 1,000 invited RTX holders, moving its crypto-to-bank payment platform into a hands-on testing phase ahead of the scheduled November 24, 2026 token launch.
Invited participants can test EUR and USD routes while Remittix prepares additional currencies, assets and networks. The rollout lets users experience crypto-to-bank settlement before wider availability.
The milestone arrives as Bitcoin price prediction models extend toward $200,000 and Solana completes a major speed upgrade targeting 200-millisecond block times. Both developments reflect the scale of crypto’s next adoption cycle, but Remittix offers an earlier opportunity through a utility ecosystem approaching its first public-market launch.
Remittix Opens PayFi to 1,000 Invited Holders
Remittix PayFi is designed to remove the complexity that often separates cryptocurrency from everyday financial activity. A sender can fund an eligible transaction with supported digital assets while the intended recipient receives conventional currency through a compatible bank account.
The current testing phase supports crypto-to-fiat and fiat-to-crypto activity through EUR and USD routes. USDT and USDC are available across selected networks including Ethereum, Celo, Base and Polygon, with wider asset and currency support planned.
This model could serve freelancers, overseas suppliers, families sending remittances and crypto holders withdrawing portfolio value. Recipients do not need to manage tokens, exchanges or complicated off-ramps.
A Connected Ecosystem Strengthens the RTX Story
The Remittix ecosystem extends beyond payments. Its iOS wallet has recorded over 10,000 downloads, an Android edition is awaiting approval and a planned rebuild will connect the project’s major products.
Its trading platform, Remittix Markets, is already used by thousands of traders, offers hundreds of perpetual pairs and has processed more than $50 million in volume. Remittix Earn is approaching release with advertised yields of up to 22% APY on eligible crypto and stablecoin holdings.
Combining payments, asset management, derivatives trading and earning could give RTX multiple sources of recurring demand. A user entering the ecosystem to make a transfer could remain to trade, hold assets or access earning opportunities without moving capital between separate platforms.
Bitcoin Price Prediction Hits $200,000 as Solana Targets $300
Bitcoin recently traded near $83,000 after rebuilding liquidity and institutional demand during 2026. A $200,000 Bitcoin price prediction implies approximately 141% upside from that level and reflects an aggressive scenario driven by ETF adoption, corporate treasury demand and Bitcoin’s fixed supply.
Solana recently traded near $110, making $300 a potential 173% move. Its 200-millisecond block-time upgrade completes a series of cuts from 400 milliseconds and creates up to five block-production opportunities per second.
Bitcoin and Solana require substantial capital to deliver those returns. Remittix enters the same market from a much earlier stage, with PayFi already being tested before RTX reaches public exchanges.
The RTX Pre-Launch Window Is Narrowing
Remittix has raised more than $32 million from over 40,000 participants toward its $36 million hard cap. RTX is currently available at $0.23, while $0.46 is the announced final presale price and planned minimum exchange launch price.
With the November 24 date locked and invited users now testing PayFi, the remaining presale allocation represents the final entry period before open-market trading begins. Remittix is approaching that moment with payments, Markets, wallet adoption and Earn converging around a single token economy.
About Remittix
Remittix is developing a connected PayFi ecosystem for crypto-to-bank and bank-to-crypto transactions. Its products include international payment settlement, a mobile wallet, Remittix Markets and the forthcoming Remittix Earn service.

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded significant outflows this month, marking a notable shift in sentiment among crypto investors. Data from Decrypt’s ETF tracker shows these funds faced back-to-back redemptions, including a $484.9 million exit on Wednesday, their steepest daily withdrawal since June.
Bitcoin ETFs reverse course in OctoberDespite a brief recovery with $21.1 million in inflows on Friday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs finished the first seven trading days of October with a net outflow of $386.3 million. The modest gain failed to compensate for large withdrawals earlier in the week, particularly following Wednesday’s sizable exit and an additional $244.1 million lost on Thursday.
Bitcoin ETFs provide a way for investors to participate in the digital asset market without directly holding cryptocurrencies or managing private wallets. The products mirror the price of Bitcoin and are traded on regular brokerage platforms, attracting both institutional and retail investors since their debut.
October began on a positive note, as the ETFs attracted a combined $292.6 million on the first two days. Another $118.8 million flowed in on October 6. However, these early inflows were overshadowed by the subsequent downturn, erasing previous gains for the month.

In mid-September, following the U.S. Senate’s failed cloture vote on the Clarity Act, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a series of outflows. However, they quickly rebounded with nine straight sessions of inflows totaling roughly $3 billion, which returned year-to-date figures into positive territory for 2026.
Flows in and out of crypto ETFs have become a reliable gauge of market sentiment, as they reflect the willingness of investors to take on or shed digital asset exposure through regulated investment vehicles.
However, the reversal so far in October suggests caution and profit-taking may be returning to the market as uncertainty persists around regulatory and macroeconomic developments.
Ethereum and Solana ETFs deepen lossesEthereum ETFs have recorded a more severe downturn. The funds posted a $56.1 million outflow on Friday, extending their loss streak to nine consecutive trading days in October. During this period, cumulative withdrawals reached nearly $700 million, with the largest single-day loss of $201.9 million taking place on October 6. Despite these losses, Ethereum ETFs still hold $14.5 billion in total net assets and have attracted $13.2 billion in net inflows since their introduction.
Solana ETFs also faced negative flows this month, though on a much smaller scale compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Outflows for Solana ETFs totaled $3.8 million on Friday, the fifth straight day of net redemptions. The funds’ only inflow for October, $1.3 million, occurred on October 2. Overall, Solana ETFs have lost $24.8 million so far this month, while cumulative net inflows since launch stand at $137.9 million.
Solana, a blockchain known for its fast transaction speeds and lower fees compared to some other networks, continues to attract investor attention through ETF products, but recent flow data suggests more caution among holders.
Bitcoin ETFs, despite recent negative momentum, remain the largest by net inflow at $57.6 billion since launch and currently manage $100.6 billion in assets.

Is Tether’s USDT shaping up to be a rebound catalyst this cycle?
The stablecoin’s market cap is set to record its third consecutive daily increase in liquidity. However, the inflows are limited to only $310 billion, limiting risk-on sentiment.
In this context, Tether’s latest move to unfreeze $1.45 million USDT in four THORChain vaults could be sufficient to alleviate concerns about the choppy stablecoin market.
What did Tether’s USDT unfreeze change? To put the recent action into perspective, Tether had frozen four THORChain USDT vaults on the TRON blockchain, disrupting the trading and liquidity functions of the stablecoin. The initiative has been reversed three hours after the implementation, while the remaining 19 blockchain addresses have been frozen.
Source: X The key detail here is TRON’s growing role in USDT transfers.
According to Lookonchain, USDT supply on TRON increased by $18.67 billion over the past year to $94.25 billion. That represented a 24.7% increase.
With that much USDT on TRON, interruptions to liquidity operations could affect traders relying on the network. The vault freeze restricted access to $1.45 million within THORChain’s affected vaults.
Unfreezing them allowed the affected operations to resume. That eased an immediate bottleneck. Whether available liquidity would translate into fresh buying remained a separate question.
Tether’s USDT move puts key on-chain signals in focus The timing of this USDT unfreeze could not have come at a better moment.
Technicals are pointing to a risk-off move, and Bitcoin’s $80,000 level is under pressure. While the continued increase in the stablecoin’s market cap should be bullish, it has not yet led to increased demand for altcoins, evidenced by Google searches for “Buy Altcoins” being at their lowest level since 2026.
The key takeaway?
USDT dominance is retracting from the mid-September resistance level of 6.7%. This shows that the situation regarding liquidity is changing.
Investors who have been accumulating USDT may be reducing the amount of capital on the sidelines as dry powder.
Source: TradingView (USDT.D) Given this situation, it becomes clear that Tether’s decision to move USDT was not random.
By unlocking the four THORChain vaults, Tether allowed the affected liquidity operations to return to normal. This action is expected to ease the liquidity flow and reduce the friction in cross-chain transactions.
With the fall of USDT dominance and the growth of the stablecoin’s market cap, the liquidity conditions will become more suitable for the market rebound.
According to AMBCrypto, this means that the market top is not near. In turn, the fresh inflows of USDT can act as a catalyst for renewed buying if the capital rotates back into risk assets.
Final Summary Tether’s USDT unfreeze could improve liquidity and support market recovery. Rising stablecoin supply could fuel a rebound if investors return to crypto.
Shiba Inu's $SHIB memecoin is closing in on the 1.7 million Ethereum holder milestone, with its real-world holder base likely far larger once multichain addresses on Solana and Shibarium are included.
@Shibtoken's $SHIB memecoin is on the cusp of a significant community milestone. According to @etherscan, the token currently counts 1,698,001 holder addresses on Ethereum, putting it fewer than 2,000 wallets away from the 1.7 million mark.
Steady Growth Through September and October The climb to this level has been methodical rather than explosive. That pace continued into October, with
The steady accumulation is notable because it has come against a backdrop of subdued price action. For many observers, the persistence of wallet growth during quieter price periods is itself a signal of durable community interest.
It is worth noting a caveat on the numbers.
The Multichain Picture Makes 1.7M Look Conservative The Etherscan figure captures only Ethereum-native holdings. When other networks are factored in, $SHIB's true reach is considerably broader.
The token's footprint expanded further still in early October.
Taken together, the Ethereum count approaching 1.7 million is as much a floor as a ceiling. Once Shibarium and @Solana addresses are included, $SHIB's combined holder base already sits well above that figure, illustrating just how far the memecoin's reach now extends beyond its original chain.

The Shiba Inu exchange activity is yet to fully recover from the bearish momentum caused by the recent market drawdown suddenly witnessed across the broad crypto market.
However, recent activity across exchanges per data showcased by crypto analytics platform CryptoQuant suggests that bears are gradually exiting the market.
Shiba Inu netflow at over +65 billion SHIBFollowing the recent market drawdown, activity across all major exchanges turned extremely bearish as the volatility sparked fear among traders, especially retailers.
HOT Stories
While the bearish momentum is gradually beginning to cool, the Shiba Inu exchange netflow has eased from hundreds of billions of SHIB to just 65 billion SHIB as of Saturday, October 10.

Although the current SHIB netflow is still reflecting a positive balance, which still indicates sustained dominance from bear traders, the slowdown to 65 billion SHIB reflects that SHIB sellers have reduced significantly, even though they are not yet fully wiped out.
With the current SHIB netflow still reflecting a positive balance, this means that the amount of SHIB tokens moved to exchanges for sell-off attempts is higher than the amount of SHIB removed from exchanges for buying purposes by just about 65 billion SHIB.
Shiba Inu flips positiveWhile the Shiba Inu exchange activity is already providing promising signals as sell-off pressures begin to fade, its price has also returned to green territory.
This suggests that sentiment is flipping once again and demand may be returning to the SHIB ecosystem. As such, market analysts have predicted that the meme token may be gearing up for a major recovery if the momentum persists.

Shiba Inu is trading near $0.00000541. It fell hard in early October from its late-September high near $0.00000626. The selling may be slowing, though. Exchange data suggests more SHIB is leaving exchanges than entering, which often means holders are not rushing to sell.
SHIB's technical pictureSHIB sits below the long-term average near $0.00000560, and that line is the main trend test. Price has been rejected in the $0.00000550 to $0.00000560 area several times. Support is at $0.00000530.
SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewPrice held there on the latest candle. A deeper wick reached $0.00000510 on October 6, and this is the next floor. Below it sits the round $0.00000500 level.
HOT Stories
On-chain data gives mixed signals. Net flow is about -27.3 billion SHIB, which means more coins moved out of exchanges than in. Exchange reserves dipped slightly. However, the 7-day average inflow rose about 13% in the last day, so some sellers are still active.
If SHIB closes above $0.00000560 with strong volume, buyers take control. The next targets are $0.00000580, then $0.00000600.
Key levels to watchContinued net outflows would support this view. If price closes below $0.00000510, the reversal idea fails. The next support area is between $0.00000470 and $0.00000450, where the summer lows formed.

Exchange flow data tracks how many coins move onto and off crypto exchanges. Coins sent to an exchange are often ready to be sold. Coins withdrawn to a personal wallet are often held for longer.
Over the last 24 hours, about 133.8 billion SHIB flowed into exchanges, while about 161.1 billion flowed out. That gap is the net flow, which came in at about -27.3 billion SHIB. In plain terms, more coins left exchanges than arrived, and that is a mildly bullish sign.
The seven-day trend tells a similar story. Exchange reserves, which are the total SHIB held on exchanges, have been sliding for about a week. The reserve value in dollars fell about 1.5% in the last day and sits near $471.5 million. When reserves shrink, there are fewer coins available for quick selling, which can support price over time.
Shiba Inu, the popular meme cryptocurrency, has seen its exchange netflow drop significantly in the wake of recent market volatility. Data provided by analytics firm CryptoQuant indicates that netflows have decreased to 65 billion SHIB, signaling a shift in market sentiment as bearish pressure tapers off.
Bearish momentum weakensDuring the most recent downturn across the broader cryptocurrency sector, Shiba Inu experienced pronounced selling as increased volatility heightened anxiety among traders, especially retail participants. This led to a surge in tokens being moved onto exchanges as investors attempted to cut losses and exit positions.
CryptoQuant, a blockchain analytics and data provider, reported that these netflows had previously reached hundreds of billions of SHIB tokens. The current figure, at 65 billion SHIB recorded as of Saturday, October 10, marks a substantial decline in selling activity.
A positive netflow means more tokens are being deposited into exchanges for potential sell-offs than are being withdrawn, which usually signals continued selling pressure. However, the reduced magnitude in the netflow shows that the pace of selling is slowing as fewer tokens are sent to exchanges.
This decrease in netflow is interpreted by analysts as an early sign that bearish traders are leaving the market, with the possibility of sentiment shifting in favor of buyers.
Potential recovery aheadWhile there remains a positive balance in SHIB netflows, the size of the current figure suggests that most sellers have already acted, and the severe selling pressure that characterized the recent downturn is easing. This environment is typically favorable for the market, as reduced sell-side activity can pave the way for stabilization or a rebound.
Alongside the improvement in exchange activity, SHIB’s price has returned to positive territory, recording modest gains after the recent decline. This coincides with analysts’ predictions that renewed demand for Shiba Inu could emerge if the reduction in exchange inflows continues.
As participants move away from panic selling, optimistic sentiment may be returning to the SHIB ecosystem. Market commentators explained that the meme coin could be positioning itself for a broader recovery, provided that current trends sustain over the coming sessions.
CryptoQuant’s latest findings are closely watched by traders, as exchange netflows serve as a leading metric to measure market sentiment and potential price direction for Shiba Inu.
With the slowdown in netflow to 65 billion SHIB, while bears still have a presence, analysts highlight that Shiba Inu sellers have thinned significantly and overall sentiment may be turning more positive.
If buying interest continues to rise and exchange netflows drop further or shift negative, it could signal the beginning of a stronger recovery phase for Shiba Inu holders.
Mini dictionary: Netflow refers to the difference between the influx and outflow of cryptocurrency tokens to and from exchanges. Positive netflow indicates more tokens are being deposited into exchanges (potentially to be sold) than withdrawn, while negative netflow suggests accumulation as investors remove tokens from exchanges for holding or storage purposes.
Many participants are awaiting the next significant move, watching closely for sustained increases in demand or shifts in netflow direction that could provide clearer indicators for SHIB’s immediate future.
CoinGecko‘nun son üç saatte en çok aranan kripto paralar listesinde Starknet (STRK) ilk sıraya yerleşti. STRK tokenı 24 saatte %54,1 yükselerek 0,1093 dolara ulaşırken SWARM ENGINE (SWARM) %39,1 artışla ikinci sırada yer aldı. Bitcoin ise fiyatındaki sınırlı değişime rağmen listenin üçüncü sırasında bulunuyor.
CoinGecko’nun trend listesi, son üç saatte en çok aranan kripto paraları sıralıyor; dolayısıyla sıralama yalnızca fiyat artışına dayanmıyor. Ekrandaki verilere göre STRK son yedi günde %102,8 yükselirken SWARM‘ın günlük kazancı %39,1’e ulaştı. İki tokenın aynı anda öne çıkması, listedeki en dikkat çekici gelişme oldu.
CoinGecko’da En Çok Aranan Kripto Para Hangisi? Starknet (STRK), CoinGecko’nun trend listesinde ilk sırada yer alıyor. Tokenın fiyatı 0,1093 dolar seviyesinde bulunurken 24 saatlik işlem hacmi yaklaşık 861,5 milyon dolara, piyasa değeri ise 804 milyon dolara ulaşıyor.
STRK’nin günlük %54,1’lik yükselişi, haftalık performansına da yansıdı. Token son yedi günde %102,8 değer kazanarak listedeki en güçlü performanslardan birini sergiledi.
SWARM ENGINE ikinci sırada bulunuyor. 0,02504 dolardan işlem gören SWARM, son 24 saatte %39,1 yükseldi. Tokenın günlük işlem hacmi yaklaşık 6,59 milyon dolar, piyasa değeri ise 24,57 milyon dolar seviyesinde.
Ancak CoinGecko verileri bu iki tokenın neden en çok arandığını açıklamıyor. Bu nedenle yükselişlerin arkasında belirli bir haber veya gelişme bulunduğunu söylemek için ek doğrulama gerekiyor.
Bitcoin ve Ethereum Kaç Dolardan İşlem Görüyor? Bitcoin, CoinGecko’nun trend listesinde üçüncü sırada yer alırken 82.956 dolar civarında işlem görüyor. BTC’nin son 24 saatteki yükselişi yalnızca %0,2 olurken son yedi günlük değişimi -%2,5 seviyesinde.
Ethereum da listede yer alıyor ancak fiyat performansı Bitcoin’e benzer biçimde sınırlı kaldı. ETH yaklaşık 2.499 dolardan işlem görürken 24 saatte %0,3 yükseldi. Buna karşılık son yedi gündeki kaybı %7,4’e ulaştı.
Bu veriler, trend listesindeki sıralamanın yalnızca fiyat hareketleriyle açıklanamayacağını gösteriyor. Bitcoin ve Ethereum yüksek işlem hacmine sahip büyük varlıklar olsalar da listenin ilk iki sırasını daha sert yükselen STRK ve SWARM aldı.
CoinGecko Trend Listesinde Başka Hangi Altcoinler Var? CoinGecko’nun ekran görüntüsündeki ilk 15 kripto para arasında Starknet ve SWARM dışında Quantus, Aerodrome Finance, NEAR Protocol ve Zcash de bulunuyor.
Aerodrome Finance (AERO), 0,9814 dolara yükselerek son 24 saatte %15,2 kazanç sağladı. Quantus (QTC) %8,0, Grass (GRASS) %8,3 ve Optimism (OP) %4,7 yükseldi. NEAR Protocol (NEAR) ise aynı dönemde %1,3 geriledi.
Listenin tamamında pozitif performans görülmüyor. Uniswap (UNI) son yedi günde %16,3, STONK ise %25 değer kaybetti. Quant (QNT) de günlük bazda %2,2 geriledi.
CoinGecko’nun trend listesi, yatırımcıların hangi kripto paraları araştırdığını gösteriyor; ancak arama ilgisinin tek başına yükselişin devam edeceğini kanıtlamadığı unutulmamalı.

Injective [INJ] gained 10% in the early hours of the 10th of October as bullish trading activity picked up.
Perpetual buying pressure and spot exchange outflows supported the outlook, with traders showing renewed interest in the asset.
Alongside those moves, Injective’s updated white paper and ongoing exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications offered potential catalysts.
Are INJ buyers taking the lead? Across exchanges, INJ’s Taker Buy/Sell Ratio reached 1.14 over the preceding four hours. A reading above 1 indicates that taker buying volume exceeded taker selling volume, pointing to stronger aggressive buying.
However, the ratio measures executed trading volume rather than the number of outstanding long and short positions.
Source: CoinGlass The exchange breakdown showed buying accounted for more than half of recorded volume on several major venues. These included Binance, Bybit, Gate, BingX, Bitunix, and Hyperliquid.
Source: CoinGlass That supported the bullish reading across multiple platforms. The next question is how much exposure traders added alongside those purchases.
Is INJ’s rising exposure supporting the rally? INJ’s OI-Weighted Funding Rate stood at a positive 0.0160%, indicating that longs were paying shorts. That reading supported a bullish positioning bias, without establishing that long positions outnumbered shorts.
Meanwhile, Open Interest increased by $34.88 million to $164.24 million over 24 hours, showing a larger pool of outstanding contracts.
Source: CoinGlass Spot exchange flows offered another supportive signal. Cumulative Spot Netflow reached approximately -$1.6 million over five days. At press time on the 11th of October, Spot Netflow stood at -$311,000, the largest net outflow since the 9th.
Source: CoinGlass Negative Netflows meant more INJ left exchanges than entered them. Those withdrawals could suggest holders were moving tokens into custody, potentially reducing readily available exchange supply.
Still, exchange withdrawals alone cannot confirm fresh purchases. Together, the readings supported the bullish outlook while leaving buyers’ intentions partly open.
Can Injective’s developments sustain investor interest? Beyond trading activity, Injective published an updated white paper outlining its finance-focused development plans. Its regulatory work included publication of an INJ white paper under Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
That process was separate from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversight, rather than a regulatory channel between the two.
Meanwhile, 21Shares and Canary pursued INJ ETF applications, offering another potential source of investor interest.
Injective CEO Eric Chen had suggested a launch could come before 2027, although that remained his expectation. Overall, these developments could help sustain interest. Further upside would still depend on demand holding beyond the initial rally.
Final Summary INJ gained 10%, while stronger taker buying, positive Funding Rates, and rising Open Interest supported bullish positioning. Exchange outflows and ongoing ETF applications added support, although withdrawals alone did not confirm fresh buying.
Iran's top security official: The U.S. response to Iran's latest proposal is 'insufficient'
According to Iran's Fars News Agency, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that the United States' response to Iran's latest proposal is "insufficient". The U.S. needs to clarify issues that remain unclear to the Iranian side. The U.S. has accepted some of our conditions, while other issues remain unclear.

Papertrade responds to allegations of price manipulation and protocol vulnerabilities: The issue arises from loose position limits during its initial launch phase, and parameters have already begun to be tightened.
Papertrade’s official response to allegations of price manipulation exploits and critical protocol vulnerabilities states that it has never been feasible to grant equal priority to small and large orders. Doing so would lead to front-end congestion from spam transactions—a far worse outcome than the current queuing mechanism. Against these constraints, the team has designed the fair launch to be as inclusive as possible. Last night’s manipulation attempt targeting the BTC/ETH pair on Hyperliquid’s Best Bid Offer (BBO) was not a flaw in the six-month-developed mechanism. Such scenarios were already accounted for; the incident only occurred because position limits were set very loosely during the early launch phase to mitigate congestion. Had position limits been imposed during peak queuing demand, it would have only exacerbated slow user experiences. The queuing mechanism itself, due to uncertainty in entry/exit confirmation times, actually provides natural protection against manipulation. As congestion eases, the team has begun tightening position limits at both on-chain and relay levels. In such a system, manipulation attacks are always possible—the key is whether such attempts are economically viable. The official goal is to set parameters such that manipulation is almost never profitable. Even if successful, tail risks are extremely high, and the expected value is negative.

Analysis: 53% of Bitcoin's holdings are concentrated above $83,000, with the $84,000 to $85,000 range serving as a key breakout level.
Crypto analyst Darkfost notes that approximately 53% of total invested capital is concentrated above Bitcoin’s current price level of around $83,000, meaning buying Bitcoin at this level would put your holding cost lower than more than half of existing investors. The $84,000–$85,000 range is the largest cluster of trading positions; many investors react at this key level, making it Bitcoin’s core resistance that it must break through. Moving lower, the $79,000–$77,000 range may act as a support level. If the price fails to effectively break through the $84,000–$85,000 range, the market may first retest this support zone. Once the price breaks above this dense position cluster with significant trading volume and holds steady there, it will mean the cost pressure for most existing holders has been absorbed, and subsequent upward resistance will ease noticeably.

Strive’s CEO followed Michael Saylor’s lead in releasing Bitcoin Tracker information, hinting at an upcoming announcement of additional Bitcoin purchases.
Bitcoin treasury firm Strive CEO Matt Cole, following in Michael Saylor’s footsteps, has released details related to a Bitcoin tracker. He stated “Think ?igger,” hinting that he will announce another Bitcoin purchase next week. Earlier on October 5, Matt Cole disclosed that Strive bought 2,000 BTC at an average price of $84,422 per coin, totaling approximately $169 million, bringing the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 29,462 coins.
Onchain derivatives protocol Variational, built on Arbitrum, has announced a campaign to distribute over $1 million and 150,000 platform points to the chain’s top 10,000 most active perpetual contract traders (excluding market makers) to attract their onboarding. Eligible traders can receive up to 3,000 Variational points, while referrers are entitled to up to $15,000 in rewards. More than 750 new users have already registered via the initiative. On September 24, Variational unveiled its VAR tokenomics: 32% of total tokens will be allocated to a genesis airdrop (distributed proportionally to users’ points, fully unlocked at TGE), 18% to ecosystem reserves (managed by the foundation), and 50% to the team and investors (locked for 12 months post-TGE, then linearly unlocked over a minimum of 3 years). The team plans to hold its token generation event (TGE) in Q4, and will continue distributing 150,000 points weekly until then. Additional airdrop terms include: a minimum of 1 point is required to claim; unclaimed airdrop allocations will be burned; and 100% of protocol revenue will be used for VAR buybacks and burns.

Specter: Arkham Incorrectly Tags Addresses Linked to CryptoBillis Ledger Theft
On-chain analyst Specter has pointed out that Arkham incorrectly tagged a THORChain wallet address as linked to the CryptoBillis Ledger hack, which caused crypto security firm PeckShield to mistakenly assert that the CryptoBillis Ledger attacker had deposited approximately $3.89 million in crypto assets to Binance over the past two days. PeckShieldAlert has responded that it will correct the related labels.
Following the Chinese government’s announcement of plans to establish a new blockchain network nationwide, Conflux (CFX), a Chinese-linked cryptocurrency project, experienced a sharp rise. The altcoin’s price increased by approximately 28%, and the volatility in trading volume was also noteworthy.
A policy document released on October 9 by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council outlines the goals of establishing a national blockchain network and a nationwide integrated computing power network.
Under the new plan, China aims to more comprehensively integrate blockchain technology into its national digital infrastructure. Data sharing, coordination of computing resources, and the development of the digital economy are among the government’s top priorities.
A document jointly released by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council of China explicitly states that establishing a national blockchain network is among the government’s goals.
The document, published under the title “Views on the Development of New Qualified Productive Forces,” states that the real economy and the digital economy need to be integrated more comprehensively. In this context, it is planned that the state will improve data infrastructure, accelerate digital transformation in the manufacturing sector, and support industrial internet projects.
The document also states that China will advance its “Processing Eastern Data in the West” project, establishing an integrated computing power network that connects data centers and computing resources across the country. The planned national blockchain network is expected to be one of the components of this vast digital infrastructure.
The statement did not mention Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other cryptocurrency. Nor did it provide any information regarding whether the planned infrastructure would be a permissionless, publicly accessible blockchain with its own token.
Has China Lifted Its Cryptocurrency Ban? Therefore, the decision does not mean that China is changing its current approach to cryptocurrency trading or lifting its cryptocurrency bans. China has long restricted cryptocurrency transactions while supporting the development of permissioned blockchain technologies for government agencies, companies, and industrial applications.
The new network is likely to be used in areas such as sharing public data, digital identity, supply chain tracking, financial reconciliation, and verification of industry data. However, the document does not specify the network’s technical architecture, launch date, budget, or which institution will operate it.
The National Development and Reform Commission of China’s plan for the period 2026-2030 also envisioned the implementation of a “national blockchain network construction project.” The latest document confirms that this goal has been included in China’s economic transformation plan by the country’s top political and administrative institutions.
The Chinese government’s announcement has increased user interest in Conflux (CFX), which is being promoted as a public blockchain compliant with regulations in the country.
Market participants viewed Conflux as one of the projects that could benefit from China’s plan to expand its blockchain infrastructure, resulting in an approximately 28% increase in the CFX price.
According to shared market data, Conflux’s trading volume in the last 24 hours reached approximately $204 million, while its total market capitalization stands at $357 million. The fact that trading volume accounts for approximately 57% of market capitalization indicates significant buying and selling activity for the altcoin.
On the other hand, CFX’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) rose to 63. This value indicates that the upward momentum is strengthening, but shows that the price has not yet reached the overbought region, traditionally considered to be above 70.

Conflux [CFX] bounced back from $0.047 and broke out of a multi-month descending channel. The token held $0.05 before climbing to a five-month high of $0.064.
At press time, Conflux traded around $0.0604, up 17% on the daily charts. Over the same period, Trading Volume surged 1,071% to $157 million, reflecting a sharp increase in market activity.
The rally coincided with China’s reported call for a national blockchain network, putting Conflux’s domestic positioning back in the spotlight.
Is China’s blockchain push lifting Conflux? Source: X The Chinese Communist Party and State Council called for a national blockchain network as part of a broader economic blueprint.
The proposal also targeted an integrated computing power network, linking blockchain infrastructure with the country’s digital development plans.
Conflux [CFX] describes itself as China’s only regulatory-compliant public, permissionless blockchain. That positioning could explain renewed investor interest following the announcement.
However, the supplied evidence did not confirm a Conflux role in the proposed network. For traders, the immediate question is whether the policy excitement can sustain demand after the initial rally.
Market demand for the asset follows suit Notably, encouraged by recent developments, investors rushed into the market to position themselves strategically.
On the derivatives side, for example, Derivatives Volume climbed 2,007% to $449 million. At the same time, Open Interest surged 44% to $44 million.
Source: CoinGlass Such a massive jump in both OI and volume indicated increased participation with traders taking leveraged bets. Thus, investors aggressively opened new positions, both short and long.
On the spot side, traders also rushed to accumulate. On October 10, Conflux’s buy volume rose to 256 million before dropping to 37 million on October 11.
Source: Coinalyze At the same time, the Buy Delta was positive at around 24 million, a clear sign of aggressive spot accumulation.
Historically, strong demand in both the spot and derivatives markets has preceded further gains on the charts.
Can CFX extend the rally? Conflux made a clear breakout as bullish pressure intensified. Looking at the Relative Strength Index (RSI), it formed a bullish crossover and rose to 68, confirming this trend shift.
Source: TradingView At these levels, the RSI indicated rising buyer dominance. Often, such a setup has preceded a trend extension.
Therefore, if the recent demand holds, Conflux is likely to extend the rally and flip $0.07, leaving $0.077 as the next significant resistance.
However, if speculation around China’s latest decree fades, we could see another drop toward $0.055.
Final Summary Conflux [CFX] broke out of a multi-month descending channel, surging 17% to a five-month high of $0.064. China’s State Council and the Communist Party called for the construction of a national blockchain network as part of its economic strategy.

Specter: Arkham Incorrectly Tags Addresses Linked to CryptoBillis Ledger Theft
On-chain analyst Specter has pointed out that Arkham incorrectly tagged a THORChain wallet address as linked to the CryptoBillis Ledger hack, which caused crypto security firm PeckShield to mistakenly assert that the CryptoBillis Ledger attacker had deposited approximately $3.89 million in crypto assets to Binance over the past two days. PeckShieldAlert has responded that it will correct the related labels.
$291.61 million in token unlocks are scheduled over the next seven days. Aptos has released just 41.18% of its tracked supply. Pump faces a $38.17 million near-term unlock, equivalent to 1.49% of its market cap. Historical post-unlock returns show sharply different outcomes across tokens. Crypto projects are scheduled to unlock approximately $1.139 billion in tokens over the next 30 days, with several concentrated release dates creating potential tests for market liquidity.
DefiLlama data captured on October 11 shows $291.61 million scheduled over the coming week across a universe of 370 tracked protocols.
The aggregate figure provides a measure of upcoming supply, but individual projects face substantially different exposure. Aptos has a relatively small near-term unlock against its market capitalization but a large proportion of supply still restricted. Pump faces a considerably larger immediate release, while Solana has already unlocked nearly 90% of its tracked allocation.
Those differences make project-level analysis more useful than the monthly total.
Pump’s Near-Term Unlock Is Four Times Larger Than Aptos’s Pump (PUMP) has approximately $38.17 million in tokens scheduled to unlock within 24 hours, according to the supplied DefiLlama snapshot.
Against its reported market capitalization of $2.568 billion, the release represents approximately 1.49% of market value.
Aptos (APT) faces a $9.48 million cliff unlock, equivalent to approximately 1.30% of its $730.98 million market capitalization.
The absolute difference is substantial, but the relative market-cap exposure is much closer.

Source: DefiLlama, October 11, 2026. Ratios compare next 24-hour unlock values with reported market capitalizations, not trading liquidity.
Calculations use the prices, market capitalizations and unlock amounts shown in the October 11 DefiLlama screenshots. Ratios are rounded.
The comparison is particularly revealing for Solana. Its scheduled release is worth millions of dollars, but the amount is extremely small relative to its reported market capitalization.
Pump and Aptos present more concentrated near-term supply events.
Market capitalization is not the same as available trading liquidity, however. A token can have a large valuation and relatively shallow order books, making the relationship between unlock size and actual trading volume important.
Aptos Has a Longer-Term Dilution Problem to Monitor Aptos has released 41.18% of its tracked supply, compared with 52.63% for Pump and 89.94% for Solana.
That leaves 58.82% of the tracked Aptos allocation not yet unlocked under DefiLlama’s methodology.
The percentage is significant for long-term valuation because future releases can increase the amount of supply available to trade.
It does not mean all remaining tokens will enter circulation this year, nor does it establish that their recipients will sell.
Aptos also has a scheduled cliff event, which differs from a linear vesting programme. Cliff releases make a specified allocation available at once, while linear vesting distributes tokens over a period.
For APT, the relevant research questions are therefore not limited to the next $9.48 million event. Investors also need to examine the remaining vesting schedule, recipient categories and the frequency of future releases.
The supplied screenshots do not identify the beneficiaries of the upcoming Aptos allocation, so attributing it to insiders, investors or ecosystem incentives would be speculative.
How Much Trading Activity Is Needed to Absorb an Unlock? One useful measure is the ratio between the value of an upcoming release and the token’s average daily spot trading volume.
Unlock-to-volume ratio = Unlock value ÷ Average daily spot trading volume × 100 For example, a $10 million unlock against $100 million in daily spot volume produces a 10% ratio.
The same release against $20 million in daily volume produces a 50% ratio, suggesting a larger potential liquidity challenge.
These are illustrative calculations, not observed trading figures for Aptos or Pump.
The metric also has limitations. Reported volume does not represent guaranteed buy-side liquidity, and a large proportion of trading may be concentrated on a small number of exchanges.
Order-book depth, spreads and exchange inflows provide additional information about whether new supply is reaching the market.
A practical assessment should therefore combine unlock-to-volume exposure with the size of the release relative to market capitalization and the identity of the recipients.
Previous Unlocks Produced Both Gains and Losses Historical performance in the DefiLlama snapshot complicates the assumption that token releases consistently precede price declines.
The platform’s seven-day post-unlock analysis shows:

Source: DefiLlama, October 11, 2026. Historical seven-day returns are not adjusted for broader market movements and do not establish causation.
These returns describe price performance during the periods tracked by DefiLlama. They are not isolated measurements of the unlocks’ effects.
Solana’s particularly large gain, for instance, cannot be attributed to a token release without controlling for broader market movements and project-specific developments.
The data is more useful as evidence of dispersion: the direction and magnitude of post-unlock returns vary considerably.
The Calendar Contains Two Large Supply Clusters The daily unlock chart from TokenomistAI identifies a peak above $100 million in late October and another near $95 million around the beginning of November.
These clusters deserve closer examination because several projects may release tokens within the same period.
An aggregate daily total cannot reveal whether the exposure is concentrated in one large-cap token or distributed among smaller projects.
The next analytical step is to identify which protocols account for those peaks and compare their scheduled releases against spot trading volumes.
The October 11 snapshot establishes the scale and timing of the upcoming supply events. It does not provide sufficient evidence to forecast their price impact.
For the immediate week, Pump and Aptos warrant separate treatment: Pump because of the size of its near-term release, and Aptos because a majority of its tracked supply remains locked.

Snek, Osaka Protocol, Mubarak, and BONE have all posted notable gains this week even as the broader crypto market struggles. Here is what is moving these memecoins.
While the broader crypto market has been under pressure this week, a handful of memecoins have moved sharply in the opposite direction. Four tokens, spanning multiple blockchains, have posted double-digit gains and drawn fresh attention from traders looking for momentum plays outside the major assets.
The Week's Top Memecoin Performers Leading the pack is @Snek on @Cardano, which has climbed roughly 35% over the past week. The token has a track record of sharp moves during broader memecoin rallies, and this week's surge fits that pattern. which many traders see as an unrealised catalyst that could drive further upside if and when those listings materialise.
In second place is @OsakaProtocol $OSAK, up 26.8% on the week.
Third on the list is @mubarak_cto on @BNBChain, recording a gain of 12.7%. The token has attracted attention within the BNB Chain memecoin community, benefiting from the network's low transaction costs and active retail trading base.
Rounding out the group is BONE from @Shibtoken's ecosystem, up 9%. BONE serves as the governance token for the Shiba Inu project's Shibarium Layer 2 network, giving it more utility than a typical memecoin and a built-in community of holders already invested in the broader Shib ecosystem.
What Is Driving the Moves The common thread across all four tokens is their ability to attract speculative capital when the rest of the market stalls. Memecoins have historically acted as an outlet for risk appetite even when blue-chip assets trade sideways or decline, as traders rotate into smaller, high-volatility names in search of short-term returns. This week appears to be another example of that dynamic playing out across multiple chains simultaneously.
As always, the gains carry significant risk. Memecoins can reverse just as quickly as they rally, and thin liquidity can amplify moves in both directions. Traders should exercise caution and manage position sizes accordingly.

Every project claims to have “the strongest community in crypto.” We set out to measure it. On September 28, 2026, we recorded for seven projects their social engagements over 24 hours (LunarCrush), the size and live presence of their Discord and Telegram servers, their subreddits and, above all, what their members actually did this year: votes, fundraising, events, code. The result: XRP leads on volume, Chainlink and Cardano follow, Kaspa and Qubic are the most mobilized small caps, and Dogecoin, with the largest audience of the seven, is not the most active. Here is the ranking, its criteria and its limits.
In Brief XRP is the most active crypto community by volume: 13.1 million engagements in 24 hours and 3.2% social dominance on September 28, 2026, among the top five cryptocurrencies worldwide according to LunarCrush. Chainlink has the largest Discord of the seven (111,365 members) and 6 million daily engagements; Cardano is the only one whose activity can be measured on-chain, with 135 DReps voting down the Cardano Summit budget in May. Kaspa shows the best presence ratio: 4,043 members online out of 53,110 on Discord; Qubic has the second-largest Discord in the ranking (56,740 members) and funded its presence at a tech event through a community crowdfunding closed in 48 hours. Dogecoin has the largest audience (4.4 million X followers, 2.6 million Reddit members) but an official Discord of 530 members and activity driven mostly by the Dogecoin Foundation. Telcoin closes the ranking by volume but stands out for active governance on its forum; Shiba Inu and Hedera are treated separately, for opposite reasons. An active community is measured by what it does, not by the number of followers it displays. We used four families of indicators, all recorded on September 28, 2026. Social engagements over 24 hours and social dominance, as published on the public pages of LunarCrush, which aggregates X, Reddit, YouTube and TikTok. The size and, more telling, the number of members online on official Discord and Telegram servers, read directly from public invitations. The size of subreddits (GummySearch data, updated between September 18 and 23). Finally, verifiable actions in 2026: governance votes, community fundraising, events, code contributions.
Two caveats. X followers and Reddit members are stocks accumulated over years; they measure an audience, not activity. And LunarCrush’s Galaxy Score, often quoted, mixes social signals with market data: a 35% price jump in a single day is enough to send it soaring, as the Hedera case shows.

XRP: The XRP Army Leads on Volume and on the Ground With 13.1 million engagements in 24 hours and 3.2% social dominance on September 28, XRP ranks among the five most discussed cryptocurrencies in the world, behind Bitcoin, Solana and Ethereum. No other community in this ranking comes close: that is more than double Chainlink and nearly five times Dogecoin. The r/XRP and r/Ripple subreddits total more than one million members, and 1.1 million users follow the asset on CoinGecko.
The “XRP Army”, which became Ripple’s secret weapon against the SEC, also has a physical calendar of its own. XRP Las Vegas, a conference organized by community members rather than by Ripple, took place on April 30 and May 1, 2026. In October, XRPL week in New York strings together a developer bootcamp (October 20-22), a 36-hour hackathon (October 24-25) and the merged Swell and XRPL Apex conferences (October 27-29), which expect more than 1,500 attendees according to the official XRP Ledger calendar. The flip side of this intensity: weighted sentiment measured by Santiment hit its lowest point of 2026 in June. An active community is not always a satisfied one.
2. Chainlink: The Largest Discord and the “LINK Marines” The “LINK Marines” do not make much noise on X (1.0% social dominance), but they are where the building happens. The official Chainlink Discord has 111,365 members, the largest of the seven, with 3,666 people online at the time of our snapshot, and the project shows 171 recent commits on GitHub, the most sustained development in the ranking. Chainlink also organizes its communities by region: Hong Kong, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Turkey, Portugal and Spain have official groups, listed on the project’s community page.
A 2026 change worth noting: Chainlink ended its Chainlink Rewards program, which distributed tokens from supported projects to LINK stakers. The June 26 blog post announces the evolution of the Build program after more than 80 supported projects, and the final claims, about $20 million in tokens, closed on July 7, according to the official post. The community remains; the direct incentive is gone.
Cardano is the only project in this ranking where community activity leaves an on-chain trace. In May 2026, delegates (DReps) rejected the request for 7.8 million ADA to fund the Cardano Summit: 65.21% in favor, below the 66.67% threshold, with 135 DReps representing 2.76 billion ADA, according to the Cardano Foundation’s May 30 announcement. The Summit was canceled. A community able to refuse money to its own conference is, at the very least, a community that votes.
In early September, the renewal of the Constitutional Committee was ratified by 69.36% of DReps and 51.18% of stake pool operators, against a 51% threshold, after several calls to vote from the official @Cardano account. On the ground, the Foundation’s first-year review of its events strategy, published in June, reports 20 events, more than 7,500 attendees, 1,139 developers reached and 855 sign-ups to its Academy, according to its June 2026 activity report. With 734,000 members on r/cardano and 2.6 million daily engagements, Cardano combines volume with measurable participation.
Relative to its size, Kaspa is the most present community in the ranking. Its official Discord had 53,110 members on September 28, 4,043 of them online at the time of the snapshot, the highest figure of the seven; its official Telegram had 30,842 members, 1,126 of them online. On CoinGecko, 179,453 users follow KAS, with bullish sentiment at 91.9%. This base carried the Toccata hard fork, activated on June 30, 2026, which gave the network native contracts and ZK verification, a step in the roadmap we covered.
Two particularities. Kaspa no longer has a clearly identified official X account: the historic @KaspaCurrency account now describes itself as an “Unaffiliated commentary account” (bio read on September 28), and the most followed account, @kaspaunchained, with 237,000 followers, presents itself as community-run and non-representative. The community therefore carries its own communication. It also argues: in late September, an exploit on the Kasplex layer 2 revived public criticism from a co-founder about ecosystem governance, without affecting layer 1. A community that argues in public is, here too, a living community.
5. Qubic: The Second-Largest Discord and the “Qubic Maxis” By market capitalization, Qubic should not appear in this ranking. By mobilization, it earns its place. With 100,000 followers on X, ten times fewer than Cardano, the project gathers 56,740 members on its official Discord, the second largest of the seven behind Chainlink, 3,342 of them online during our snapshot, and 18,361 members on Telegram. Its LunarCrush Galaxy Score of 73.8 is the second highest in the ranking, and 93.3% of CoinGecko users following it describe themselves as bullish.
Actions follow. In January 2026, the community itself funded Qubic’s presence at T3chFest in Madrid, Spain’s largest developer event: 6.97 billion QUBIC, about $4,880 at the time, raised in under 48 hours by more than 25 donors, with no project treasury involved, according to the account published on the official blog, whose title claims a spot secured “through pure community power.“
The community is also consulted on what comes next. The recap of the September 17, 2026 All-Hands puts a tokenomics proposal up for Discord feedback: buy QUBIC on the open market and burn it immediately, with a $1 million pilot split into two tickets of about $500,000 over 15 epochs, roughly three and a half months; the text also plans to repay investors 1.25 times their stake over twelve months. The same recap announces, within two weeks, a technical Q&A session open to the community on BPP-9000, the useful mining algorithm of Qubic that since the summer has rewarded the quality of solutions rather than their number.
On the ground, the campaign run with Alchemy Pay from July 29 to August 28 brought in 38 unique buyers for $12,613 worth of QUBIC, 72% of them from Europe, according to the same recap; a new wave is announced for October. On the developer side, the project reports 307 commits to its main branches in four weeks, across more than 20 repositories (a figure provided by Qubic, not comparable with Chainlink’s GitHub snapshot), launched a dedicated @QubicDev account on July 31, and released on August 4 a kit that lets developers test their smart contracts locally for free, according to the August 6 All-Hands recap. Weak spot: only 3,000 members on Reddit and 0.1% social dominance; activity remains concentrated on Discord.
6. Dogecoin: The Largest Audience, Not the Most Active This is the surprise of the ranking. Dogecoin has the largest audience of the seven, 4.37 million followers on X and 2.6 million members on r/dogecoin, the biggest subreddit on this list. But measured activity does not follow: 2.7 million engagements in 24 hours, one fifth of XRP, 0.9% social dominance, and an official Discord server, the one linked from dogecoin.com, with 530 members, 95 of them online. The audience is huge; the mobilization is diffuse.
The highlights of 2026 in fact came from the top. On February 18, the Nasdaq bell ringing for the 21shares Dogecoin ETF came with a “#ChooseMyShibe” campaign credited with more than 1.2 million impressions, according to House of Doge’s press release. In April, MoonPay, the Dogecoin Foundation and House of Doge donated 1 million DOGE to an animal welfare fund. These are organizational operations, not grassroots initiatives. The Dogecoin community remains one of the most loyal in crypto; in 2026, it is no longer one of the most active.
Telcoin closes the ranking by volume, with 383,700 daily engagements, 112,000 followers on X, 19,000 members on r/Telcoin and two modest Discord servers (6,500 and 1,567 members). What sets it apart lies elsewhere: the Telcoin Association runs a governance forum where proposals are genuinely debated. The TEL token evolution proposal, published on June 29, had 41 replies and 3,384 views as of September 28; a September proposal on a telecom partnership had 45, according to the forum’s proposals section. Councils meet every two weeks on the Association’s Discord.
This community also had reasons to get excited in 2026: on June 23, Telcoin launched the first regulated on-chain bank accounts in the United States, under a Nebraska charter, a milestone we covered in June. Its Galaxy Score of 69.6, fourth in the ranking, points to a small but engaged community.
Two Special Cases: Shiba Inu and Hedera The “Shib Army” is, on paper, one of the largest communities in crypto: 3.9 million followers on X, 552,000 members on r/SHIBArmy, 71,439 on Telegram. But its activity indicators are the weakest of the nine projects we examined: a Galaxy Score of 45.7, 55% sentiment, 1.1 million daily engagements, a Discord of 1,844 members, and a lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, silent on X since May 13. A large community, barely active in 2026, according to LunarCrush data.
Hedera is the opposite case: the highest Galaxy Score of all, 88.0, on September 28. But that day, HBAR gained 35% in 24 hours, and the score reflects this rise as much as social activity. The “600,000 members” across platforms claimed on the project’s Community Hub are self-reported. The official Discord, with 13,096 members, 1,413 of them online, and the Hello Future Apex hackathon, with a $250,000 prize pool, are stronger signals, but not enough to place Hedera in the ranking with certainty.
What This Ranking Does Not Tell You It captures a single day, September 28, 2026, and social engagements vary sharply with news and price. It does not distinguish human accounts from automated ones, a bias that affects every platform. It overlooks non-English communities, often active on channels that aggregators do not read, such as Chainlink’s regional Telegram groups or Qubic France. And it says nothing about the quality of a project or the direction of a price: a large community has never stopped an asset from falling.
The next measurable milestones are dated: XRPL and Swell week in New York from October 20 to 29, with its attendance figures, and, for Qubic, the outcome of the token buyback-and-burn proposal debated on Discord, followed by the October Alchemy Pay wave. We will update this ranking in the first quarter of 2027, using the same criteria.
FAQ Which crypto has the most active community in 2026? By volume, XRP: 13.1 million engagements in 24 hours and 3.2% social dominance on September 28, 2026, according to LunarCrush. Relative to size, Kaspa and Qubic are the most mobilized.
Doesn't Dogecoin have the biggest crypto community? The biggest audience, yes: 4.4 million X followers and 2.6 million Reddit members. But its measured activity (2.7 million daily engagements, an official Discord of 530 members) is lower than that of XRP, Chainlink and Cardano.
How do you measure the activity of a crypto community? Through social engagements over a given period (LunarCrush, Santiment), the number of members online on Discord and Telegram, participation in governance votes, and verifiable actions: fundraising, events, code contributions.
Does an active community push the price up? No, not mechanically. Shiba Inu has one of the largest communities and one of the lowest activity levels of 2026; Hedera’s Galaxy Score jumped with its price, not the other way around. Crypto markets remain volatile and carry a risk of capital loss.

Circle's CCTP V2 is now live on Sui Network, bringing native USDC to the chain and eliminating the need for wrapped tokens or third-party bridges.
@Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V2 (CCTP V2) is now live on @SuiNetwork, marking a significant infrastructure upgrade for the layer-1 blockchain.
What CCTP V2 Actually Does The mechanism is straightforward:
The upgrade to V2 brings meaningful speed improvements. For context, transfers from Ethereum under the older model could take considerably longer.
Why This Matters for Sui The practical implication for Sui users and developers is the removal of bridge dependency. That is not a minor footnote. Bridges have historically been among the most exploited infrastructure in crypto, with hundreds of millions of dollars lost to bridge-related hacks in recent years.
This is a cleaner, more secure arrangement than relying on third-party bridged representations of $USDC, which carry counterparty and smart contract risk by design.
on Sui without engineering around bridge limitations or fragmented liquidity. For a network competing for DeFi developer mindshare, that is a meaningful structural improvement even if it does not generate immediate headlines.

Worldcoin [WLD] has rallied 7.4% in the past 24 hours, a relative outperformance of most of the other top 45 crypto assets, as per CoinMarketCap data.
The market-wide correction on the 7th and 8th of October forced nearly $9 million in long liquidations for Worldcoin in two days.
The recent price bounce is starting to yield the opposite effect. There were $1.36 million in short liquidations on the 10th of October, but the crypto market as a whole has been relatively quiet, with only $65.19 million in market-wide liquidations in both directions.
In this context, a 7.4% price leap for Worldcoin could be a sign of early strength after the crypto market sell-off earlier this week.
The bearish long-term Worldcoin view Source: WLD/USDT on TradingView From the September 2025 peak at $2.21, WLD made a steady descent down to $0.2267 by May 2026. This 89.64% downtrend is common among altcoins. Though the recent rally measured 138.8% from the May lows, it was still a long way from the $1.21 halfway point.
Owing to the higher timeframe downtrend, the current weekly swing structure is bearish. Traders and investors can anticipate a move up to $1.21-$1.78 in the coming months while still holding a long-term bearish bias.
The $2.21 high needs to be reclaimed to establish a long-term uptrend.
Multi-year downtrend aside, WLD traders have a buying opportunity now Source: WLD/USDT on TradingView On the 4-hour chart, the structure was bullish. The October correction forced the altcoin to sweep the $0.466 swing low, but the buyers have made a strong reaction from that area.
This reinforced the bullish Worldcoin view for the coming days. Provided Bitcoin [BTC] does not face another sell-off, the chances of a bullish Worldcoin continuation would remain good.
The $0.619 and $0.655 levels are the immediate bullish targets. The June swing high at $0.723 is another feasible price target.
Final Summary Worldcoin was one of the top-performing altcoins in the past 24 hours among the top 50 crypto assets, according to CoinMarketCap data. This relative strength could be a sign of short- to medium-term bullishness. The $0.655 and $0.723 levels are the next price targets.
11 October 2026 | 12:58 Starknet, Celestia and Aerodrome led CoinMarketCap’s daily gainers at the time of writing and yet the information available behind each move is very different.
Key Takeaways STRK led the with a 54% gain over 24 hours. TIA gained 21% as the market assessed its latest upgrade cycle. ARB has a new route for onchain dollar liquidity to prove out. AERO and ETHFI have longer-running ecosystem and token mechanisms in the background. INJ and STX show why a price ranking alone cannot explain a move. One daily leaderboard, several market stories CoinMarketCap’s data on October 11, 2026 at 09:30 UTC placed Starknet (STRK), Celestia (TIA), Aerodrome Finance (AERO), Arbitrum (ARB), Injective (INJ), ether.fi (ETHFI) and Stacks (STX) among the day’s largest gainers. STRK rose 54%, TIA gained 21%, and AERO added 15%.
CoinMarketCap cryptocurrency market data. The ranking captures price performance over the previous 24 hours. The source of the buying may lie in a product release, new liquidity, thinner order books, short covering or traders rotating between sectors. For that reason, the page works best as the beginning of the research process; the wider market evidence has to fill in the rest.
STRK and TIA offer the clearest examples of that difference. Both have recent technical developments for traders to assess, though the practical test facing each network is not the same.
STRK and TIA have new technology for the market to test Starknet’s 54.54% gain followed its October 6 v0.14.4 mainnet upgrade. The release expanded the network’s proving capabilities for more complex transactions, giving developers a broader set of tools for applications that need work to be verified efficiently on the rollup.
STRK had already featured in the market after Starknet completed the v0.14.4 upgrade during a weak Bitcoin session. The relevant follow-up is whether the added capacity translates into developer activity, application use and fees. Those measures would show more clearly whether the upgrade is becoming economically meaningful for the network.
TIA’s advance came during Celestia’s latest mainnet upgrade cycle, which included work related to Fibre, its high-throughput data-availability design. The development concerns the volume of data the network could support for rollups and other chains that publish information externally.
More capacity becomes economically relevant when other networks use it and pay for the service. That question also sat behind Celestia’s earlier Fibre-led recovery: a technical milestone may attract attention, while sustained data publication would show whether it is gaining practical traction.
Technical milestone
A release can attract attention
An upgrade may change what a network can do. It does not show that users have already created new demand for its token.
Liquidity development
A new asset needs lasting use
Integrations matter when users retain deposits, liquidity and borrowing activity after the announcement.
Market movement
A gain can arrive before an explanation
Spot demand, leverage and thinner order books can move a token before a clear project-level event emerges.
ARB has a new route for onchain dollar liquidity Arbitrum rose 8% after USDG went live on the network with integrations spanning Fluid, Morpho, GMX, Maple and Uniswap. A regulated dollar token can add another settlement balance for lending, trading and liquidity provision across an existing DeFi ecosystem.
The announcement gives the market a concrete development to track, but availability alone does not establish adoption. The more meaningful evidence would be whether USDG balances remain on Arbitrum, whether lending markets attract sustained deposits and whether the integrations generate regular activity beyond an initial liquidity push.
AERO and ETHFI have longer-running stories behind them Aerodrome’s 15% move does not come with an equally clear same-day project announcement. Aerodrome and Velodrome have outlined a planned consolidation into Aero, which remains a longer-term part of the ecosystem narrative. It does not, however, provide a confirmed explanation for one daily candle.
ETHFI has another longer-running mechanism for traders to consider. ether.fi’s revenue-funded buyback framework may create recurring token demand when protocol activity remains strong. Yet ETHFI’s recent pullback showed why such a programme does not establish a fixed price floor. Wider market conditions, selling pressure and leverage can still shape the token’s short-term direction.
Both cases offer background rather than confirmation. A broader ecosystem plan or buyback mechanism may explain why a token stays on traders’ radar, while measurable liquidity, revenue or token demand would provide a stronger basis for judging the move.
INJ and STX show the limits of a gainers page Injective rose 7%, while Stacks added 4%. Neither move needs a dramatic public announcement to be genuine. Crypto prices can rise through spot buying, derivatives repositioning and rotation from traders moving through sectors after an earlier rally.
That makes rushed explanations risky. Stacks also appeared among leading gainers during an earlier broad altcoin rebound this month. Reappearing on a ranking points to renewed market attention, but it does not prove that the earlier conditions are still driving the token.
For INJ and STX, the better checks are whether spot volume holds after the move, whether derivatives open interest grows at the same time, and whether order-book liquidity remains deep enough to support the higher price. A gain that survives those tests says more than a position on a daily leaderboard.
Why the rally is uneven The seven gains sit on different foundations. STRK and TIA have recent technical milestones for traders to assess, while ARB has a new route for dollar liquidity. AERO and ETHFI draw attention from longer-running ecosystem and token mechanisms. INJ and STX, meanwhile, have moved without an equally clear public trigger tied to the latest session.
That is what makes the rally uneven. The same 24-hour ranking combines projects with new releases, projects with broader operating narratives and tokens whose move may reflect market positioning more than a fresh development. Network usage, liquidity, protocol revenue and sustained trading activity could show which of those gains has support beyond the first burst of attention.

ZKsync [ZK] remained one of the few tokens to gain more than 10% as the cryptocurrency market regrouped after recent declines.
Its bullish performance coincided with a NextBridge partnership, expected to bring Prividium, its self-governed private ledger for institutions, to Japan.
Even so, the rally faced a test. AMBCrypto analyzed trader activity and found reasons to question whether ZK could sustain its upward movement.
Could ZKsync’s rally face a pullback? The Bollinger Bands chart showed ZK reaching the upper band, where its advance faced resistance. The indicator plots three bands around price. Its outer bands can help identify potential resistance and support, depending on market conditions.
Previous approaches to the upper band had preceded declines. This time, a red candlestick suggested selling pressure had started to emerge.
Source: TradingView If the pullback continues, ZK could approach the blue middle band at $0.0125, near horizontal support at $0.0124. That puts the $0.0124–$0.0125 zone in focus as a potential landing point.
Further selling could push ZK toward the lower band around $0.011, making it another potential support area.
Can ZK bulls defend the next support? Despite the emerging pullback, Bull Bear Power (BBP) suggested bulls retained the upper hand. The chart recorded consecutive positive green bars on the 9th and 10th of October, supporting the bullish momentum reading.
The Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) offered a similar outlook, with dots positioned below ZK’s price.
Source: TradingView That positioning supported the prevailing upward trend, even as the red candlestick signaled near-term selling pressure. Taken together, these indicators leave room for a rebound if ZK retreats toward the middle band.
For bulls, holding the nearby $0.0124 support could help keep that recovery scenario alive.
What does ZKsync’s record holder count suggest? Meanwhile, ZK’s price gains coincided with an increase in its Holder Count. The number reached approximately 186,820, marking an all-time high. The upward trend had developed since mid-September.
Source: CoinMarketCap The growing Holder Count supported the adoption picture, although it did not establish how much those addresses bought.
ZK therefore faced competing signals: resistance near the upper band, bullish trend indicators, and a growing holder base. A pullback toward $0.0124–$0.0125 could test whether that bullish momentum translates into buyers defending support.
Final Summary ZKsync gained more than 10%, but upper-band resistance left a pullback toward $0.0124–$0.0125 in play. Bullish indicators and a record Holder Count supported the recovery outlook, with support holding key to a rebound.
A user named Boblob on X has posted that two wallet addresses are actively exploiting the Papertrade protocol. These addresses, which execute trades on Hyperliquid with each transaction totaling approximately $20 million, have caused ETH price swings of around 10 to 20 basis points and built long positions on Papertrade with a nominal value of hundreds of millions of dollars. The user argues this exposes a critical vulnerability in the current Papertrade protocol that requires urgent fixing, as failure to do so would undermine its long-term sustainability. The claim remains a unilateral allegation from the user at this stage.

STRK's 24-hour price gain has widened to 55%, briefly surging past $0.12.
According to HTX market data, STRK (Starknet) has extended its 24-hour gain to 55%, briefly breaking above $0.12 and currently trading at $0.11, leading the altcoin market rally. On the news front, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated at Token2049 and in subsequent remarks that blockchains need post-quantum readiness and cryptographic agility to counter threats from quantum computing and AI acceleration. He clarified that Starknet is actively considering multiple options, including separating from Ethereum to become an independent Layer 1 (L1) chain, so as to independently control the pace of security migration, with the goal of achieving full quantum resistance by 2027 — earlier than Ethereum’s planned timeline. This "shift to L1 + quantum resistance" narrative quickly became a market focus, driving STRK’s consecutive sharp rally. On the technical and ecosystem front, the v0.14.4 mainnet launched on October 5, expanding SNIP-36 single-proof capacity to approximately 1.1 billion L2 gas, enabling proof verification for larger-scale off-chain computations; the strkBTC incentive program went live on October 2 (with the first 100 bridged BTC covering bridging fees and receiving weekly airdrops), further strengthening the Bitcoin-related narrative.

Ledger-linked attackers deposited 2,990 ETH into Tornado Cash, then bridged the funds to ZEC via NEAR Intents.
On-chain detective Specter revealed in his personal channel that an attacker address, implanted via unauthorized hardware into a Ledger hardware wallet linked to CryptoBilis, deposited 2,990 ETH (valued at approximately $7.45 million) to Tornado Cash between October 9 and 10. Monitoring data shows the attacker had earlier dispersed the funds to 14 addresses, then cross-chain converted the funds to the ZEC network via NEAR Intents for further privacy processing. Signs of address correlation were observed during the fund transfers: some withdrawal transactions reused the wallet addresses used for prior deposits, while other withdrawals were initiated by wallets linked to the wallet that paid gas fees during the theft, enabling researchers to trace the fund flow.

List of High-Risk Ledger Resellers Disclosed, Regional Supply Chain Risks Draw Attention After CryptoBilis Incident
After hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger confirmed that devices sold by its Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis contained unauthorized hardware implants, analyst Darkfost has compiled a "Ledger Dealers to Watch" list, identifying nearby merchants whose supply chains may also be impacted, including Lazada, Shopee, Tokopedia, Bhinnekon, and Metapod. The list marks CryptoBilis as suspended, while the risk exposure of other dealers remains unknown. Darkfost stressed this is speculative, not confirmed, but advised users who purchased Ledger devices from these dealers in the past six months to transfer their assets to secure locations before the issue is resolved. Ledger previously stated the incident appears limited to this single distributor and its local market, adding its own infrastructure, systems, and services were not breached, and investigations are ongoing. Darkfost also recommended users willing to inspect their devices themselves refer to disassembly guides to verify if the hardware has been tampered with.

Next Week's Macro Outlook: CPI Data Tests Fed’s Stance on Pausing Rate Hikes, IMF’s Walsh Speech Takes Center Stage
Next week, global markets will focus on the U.S. September CPI data to assess whether the Federal Reserve maintains its "discontinuous rate hike" stance. While most Fed officials believe another rate hike may be possible this year, recent comments indicate no urgency to act at consecutive meetings. Market pricing for a rate hike on October 28 has fallen to around 19%, while a December rate hike is fully priced in. Geopolitically, the stalemate between the U.S. and Iran and escalating tensions in Yemen continue to support oil risk premiums, with the U.S.-Russia diesel supply deal having limited short-term impact. Below is a key event calendar: Tuesday: Speech by Cleveland Fed President Patrick Harker; Fed Governor Christopher Waller speaks at the India Bloomberg New Economy Forum; U.S. September NFIB Small Business Confidence Index, ADP employment change for the week ending September 26, September existing home sales annualized total; OPEC releases its monthly oil market report. Wednesday: U.S. September CPI and core CPI; Fed officials’ pre-Brown Book comments; Boston Fed President Susan Collins and Fed Governor Michelle Bowman deliver speeches; IEA releases its monthly oil market report. Thursday: U.S. API crude oil inventories for the week ending October 9; U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending October 10, September retail sales, September PPI and core PPI, October New York Fed and Philadelphia Fed manufacturing indexes; G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting. Friday: Fed Chair Jerome Powell attends the IMF Annual Meeting in Bangkok and holds a fireside chat with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva; Cleveland Fed President Patrick Harker speaks again; U.S. September Import Price Index, industrial production; U.S. EIA crude oil inventories for the week ending October 9.

A crypto whale takes a long position on BTC, with unrealized profit exceeding $10 million.
According to TradingBeats monitoring, Hyperliquid whale address 0x8ea8…edbc holds 1,000 BTC long positions, with the position valued at approximately $83.04 million. The address uses 3x full leverage, with an average entry price of around $72,771, current unrealized profit of roughly $10.27 million, and a position return rate of about 37.1%. The address already held around 800 BTC long positions as early as May 11, with an unrealized profit of approximately $5.3 million at that time, before increasing the position size to 1,000 BTC. As of press time, the BTC contract mark price is approximately $83,037, some 14.1% higher than the address’s average entry price. The estimated liquidation price for the position is around $50,382, roughly 39.3% lower than the mark price.
According to Butler’s monitoring, Papertrade was exploited by an address to earn around $1.28 million in profits just roughly 8 hours after its launch. The same trader has accumulated over $13 million in historical profits on Hyperliquid, with a trading volume of $14 billion. Since Papertrade prices its trades based on Hyperliquid’s real-time ETH price, the attacker repeatedly opened large long and short positions on Papertrade while trading ETH on Hyperliquid, briefly pushing prices up or down before closing positions for gains. Data shows the trader executed a total of 305 trades, 296 of which were profitable, giving a win rate of approximately 97%. The average holding time was just 98 seconds, with cumulative trading profits peaking at $1.73 million. However, the attacker later opened 30 short positions on Papertrade at $2507.35, with a notional value of around $297 million, and sold roughly 6,600 ETH on Hyperliquid to drive the price down to $2504.4, but this attempt to close the positions failed. Afterward, ETH’s price rose to $2509.95, triggering full liquidation of the 30 short positions, resulting in a loss of roughly $450,000. The attacker ultimately netted approximately $1.28 million in profits. The Papertrade team may have curbed the attack by blocking the attacker’s position closures, but this is only speculation and has not been confirmed. Analysts noted that if the platform continues to directly use Hyperliquid’s BBO (Best Bid Offer) as its pricing basis, underlying manipulation risks will remain. They recommend adopting Hyperliquid’s official oracle price, which aggregates quotes from multiple trading platforms, to reduce risks from manipulation of a single order book.

STRK's 24-hour price gain has widened to 55%, briefly surging past $0.12.
According to HTX market data, STRK (Starknet) has extended its 24-hour gain to 55%, briefly breaking above $0.12 and currently trading at $0.11, leading the altcoin market rally. On the news front, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated at Token2049 and in subsequent remarks that blockchains need post-quantum readiness and cryptographic agility to counter threats from quantum computing and AI acceleration. He clarified that Starknet is actively considering multiple options, including separating from Ethereum to become an independent Layer 1 (L1) chain, so as to independently control the pace of security migration, with the goal of achieving full quantum resistance by 2027 — earlier than Ethereum’s planned timeline. This "shift to L1 + quantum resistance" narrative quickly became a market focus, driving STRK’s consecutive sharp rally. On the technical and ecosystem front, the v0.14.4 mainnet launched on October 5, expanding SNIP-36 single-proof capacity to approximately 1.1 billion L2 gas, enabling proof verification for larger-scale off-chain computations; the strkBTC incentive program went live on October 2 (with the first 100 bridged BTC covering bridging fees and receiving weekly airdrops), further strengthening the Bitcoin-related narrative.

Ledger-linked attackers deposited 2,990 ETH into Tornado Cash, then bridged the funds to ZEC via NEAR Intents.
On-chain detective Specter revealed in his personal channel that an attacker address, implanted via unauthorized hardware into a Ledger hardware wallet linked to CryptoBilis, deposited 2,990 ETH (valued at approximately $7.45 million) to Tornado Cash between October 9 and 10. Monitoring data shows the attacker had earlier dispersed the funds to 14 addresses, then cross-chain converted the funds to the ZEC network via NEAR Intents for further privacy processing. Signs of address correlation were observed during the fund transfers: some withdrawal transactions reused the wallet addresses used for prior deposits, while other withdrawals were initiated by wallets linked to the wallet that paid gas fees during the theft, enabling researchers to trace the fund flow.

List of High-Risk Ledger Resellers Disclosed, Regional Supply Chain Risks Draw Attention After CryptoBilis Incident
After hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger confirmed that devices sold by its Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis contained unauthorized hardware implants, analyst Darkfost has compiled a "Ledger Dealers to Watch" list, identifying nearby merchants whose supply chains may also be impacted, including Lazada, Shopee, Tokopedia, Bhinnekon, and Metapod. The list marks CryptoBilis as suspended, while the risk exposure of other dealers remains unknown. Darkfost stressed this is speculative, not confirmed, but advised users who purchased Ledger devices from these dealers in the past six months to transfer their assets to secure locations before the issue is resolved. Ledger previously stated the incident appears limited to this single distributor and its local market, adding its own infrastructure, systems, and services were not breached, and investigations are ongoing. Darkfost also recommended users willing to inspect their devices themselves refer to disassembly guides to verify if the hardware has been tampered with.

Next Week's Macro Outlook: CPI Data Tests Fed’s Stance on Pausing Rate Hikes, IMF’s Walsh Speech Takes Center Stage
Next week, global markets will focus on the U.S. September CPI data to assess whether the Federal Reserve maintains its "discontinuous rate hike" stance. While most Fed officials believe another rate hike may be possible this year, recent comments indicate no urgency to act at consecutive meetings. Market pricing for a rate hike on October 28 has fallen to around 19%, while a December rate hike is fully priced in. Geopolitically, the stalemate between the U.S. and Iran and escalating tensions in Yemen continue to support oil risk premiums, with the U.S.-Russia diesel supply deal having limited short-term impact. Below is a key event calendar: Tuesday: Speech by Cleveland Fed President Patrick Harker; Fed Governor Christopher Waller speaks at the India Bloomberg New Economy Forum; U.S. September NFIB Small Business Confidence Index, ADP employment change for the week ending September 26, September existing home sales annualized total; OPEC releases its monthly oil market report. Wednesday: U.S. September CPI and core CPI; Fed officials’ pre-Brown Book comments; Boston Fed President Susan Collins and Fed Governor Michelle Bowman deliver speeches; IEA releases its monthly oil market report. Thursday: U.S. API crude oil inventories for the week ending October 9; U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending October 10, September retail sales, September PPI and core PPI, October New York Fed and Philadelphia Fed manufacturing indexes; G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting. Friday: Fed Chair Jerome Powell attends the IMF Annual Meeting in Bangkok and holds a fireside chat with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva; Cleveland Fed President Patrick Harker speaks again; U.S. September Import Price Index, industrial production; U.S. EIA crude oil inventories for the week ending October 9.

Decentralized trading platform Papertrade has faced allegations of price manipulation after two cryptocurrency wallets reportedly used trades worth around $20 million on Hyperliquid to move Ethereum prices by 0.1%–0.2% while holding positions worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Summary
Papertrade faces allegations that two wallets manipulated Ether prices through large trades on Hyperliquid recently. Researcher claims roughly $20 million orders moved ETH quotes by 10 to 20 basis points. Papertrade uses Hyperliquid order book midpoint pricing for synthetic trades settled against its liquidity pool. Hyperliquid uses separate oracle and mark prices for margin calculations, according to official trading documentation. No verified loss figure or platform response accompanied the initial accusations reported on October 11. Crypto trader Run reported the concerns on October 11 after X user Boblob (@Dr_bobo54) claimed that two wallets were exploiting a weakness in Papertrade’s pricing system. The allegations involve large Ether trades on Hyperliquid and corresponding leveraged positions on Papertrade, which uses Hyperliquid’s order book prices to calculate trading values. Neither the alleged manipulation nor any resulting losses have been independently verified.
The warning follows Papertrade’s recent launch on HyperEVM, the smart contract environment connected to the Hyperliquid blockchain.
Papertrade faces allegations involving $20 million ETH trades According to Boblob, two wallets allegedly executed trades worth approximately $20 million each on Hyperliquid, briefly moving ETH prices by 10 to 20 basis points.
A basis point equals 0.01%, meaning the reported price movements represented changes of roughly 0.1%–0.2%.
The researcher claimed that the wallets simultaneously established long positions on Papertrade with a combined nominal value reaching hundreds of millions of dollars.
Long positions generally benefit when the price of an asset rises. Papertrade’s pricing system allows traders to open or close positions using prices derived from Hyperliquid’s order book. Boblob alleged that the traders exploited this connection by moving the reference price on Hyperliquid while maintaining much larger positions on Papertrade.
The researcher described Papertrade as “getting actively exploited by two wallets” and called for the suspected weakness to be addressed. The statement remains an allegation. No independently verified transaction analysis has established the identities of the wallet operators or confirmed that their trades generated profits through price manipulation.
TokenPost reported on October 11 that the alleged transactions involved positions worth nine figures on Papertrade alongside the reported $20 million orders on Hyperliquid. The report did not provide verified wallet addresses, transaction hashes or an independently established loss calculation.
Papertrade’s pricing system raises manipulation concerns The allegations focus on Papertrade’s decision to use the midpoint of Hyperliquid’s best bid and best offer as its reference trading price.
The best bid represents the highest price a buyer is prepared to pay, while the best offer is the lowest price a seller is willing to accept. Papertrade’s official documentation explains that its smart contracts read the midpoint between those prices to determine the entry and exit prices of positions. Unlike an exchange that directly matches buyers and sellers, Papertrade uses synthetic trades between customers and its liquidity pool.
When a user opens a position, the contract records the current reference price. When the position closes, the protocol calculates the resulting profit or loss using the updated price. The platform offers leverage of up to 1,000 times on supported markets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Its documentation describes trading without conventional order-book slippage or funding payments, subject to limits on the amount of open interest allowed for each market. Rune argued that the arrangement creates a potential weakness because the best available buying and selling prices can change as orders enter or leave the Hyperliquid order book.
The trader pointed to Papertrade’s published risk disclosures, which identify possible manipulation of the best bid and offer as an unresolved concern.
According to the documentation excerpts discussed by Rune, a trader could potentially influence the midpoint by placing an order at a new best bid or offer, even if the order is not executed.
If Papertrade accepts the resulting price without an independent check, a position might be opened or closed using a quotation that does not represent the prevailing market value. The platform’s documentation identifies related concerns involving contract economics, limits on trading exposure, operational protections and permission management.
However, the existence of a documented risk does not establish that a successful exploit has occurred or that users have suffered losses.
Hyperliquid uses different prices for its own trading safeguards Papertrade’s use of the order book midpoint differs from Hyperliquid’s native approach to calculating prices for perpetual futures.
Hyperliquid’s official documentation describes separate oracle and mark prices intended to reduce the effect of abnormal trading activity.
The oracle price uses a weighted median of prices from centralized exchanges. Hyperliquid validators update this value approximately every three seconds. For its mark price, the exchange combines several inputs, including its own market prices and prices from other trading venues.
Hyperliquid uses the mark price to calculate unrealized profits and losses, assess margin requirements and trigger liquidations. Papertrade’s documentation describes a different arrangement in which its synthetic trading contracts directly reference Hyperliquid’s best bid and offer midpoint.
Consequently, Papertrade’s reported exposure concerns its own pricing design. The allegations do not establish that Hyperliquid’s blockchain, native trading engine or oracle system was compromised. The distinction follows earlier problems involving price references used by applications connected to Hyperliquid.
In July, a Hyperliquid-linked SK Hynix perpetual contract experienced a 17.9% price drop after an unusual transaction in South Korea affected the external price used by the contract. The operator, Trade.xyz, investigated the incident after positions were affected by the sudden movement.
Following the investigation, Trade.xyz said it would cover qualifying liquidation losses associated with the pricing anomaly.
The incident involved a separate contract and pricing method. It does not establish the validity of the allegations involving Papertrade.
Papertrade loss claims remain unconfirmed Papertrade’s trading structure places its liquidity pool on the opposite side of customer positions, with profits and losses calculated directly through the protocol. According to its documentation, the pool begins without deposited liquidity and grows as traders realize losses.
The system uses a token called PAPER, which is issued in connection with eligible trading losses. Holders can stake the token to participate in distributions under the protocol’s rules. If the liquidity pool lacks sufficient funds to cover profitable withdrawals, winning settlements can enter a payment queue until funds become available.
An independent description of the protocol’s mechanics confirms that Papertrade positions involve real funds, with payouts depending on the pool’s available liquidity.
The latest manipulation allegations have not established whether the suspected transactions affected that pool, created unpaid claims or resulted in realized withdrawals. Reports circulating on October 11 have focused on the reported trading pattern and pricing concerns without confirming the amount of money allegedly extracted.
The case differs from verified incidents where investigators have identified affected funds and reconstructed transaction records. For example, Float Protocol lost approximately $28,000 in an August pricing attack, according to an investigation by blockchain security company SlowMist.
The firm attributed the exploit to manipulated spot prices that affected how the protocol calculated liquidity-provider share values.
Vesu reported $3 million in affected collateral after incorrect price data triggered liquidations across several lending pools. Vesu attributed the incident to a faulty external pricing feed and began coordinating with other organizations to address the affected positions.
For Papertrade, the available October 11 reports do not include an independently verified assessment of affected positions, confirmed withdrawals or user compensation.
No confirmed public response from Papertrade addressing the two-wallet allegations was identified in the sources reviewed. The platform has not announced a verified loss total, compensation arrangement or timetable for changing its BBO-based pricing system.

A crypto whale traded with 1000x leverage on Papertrade, racking up cumulative losses of roughly $1 million.
According to TradingBeats’ monitoring, address 0x6f25...4acc has recorded a cumulative trading volume of roughly $10.301 billion on Papertrade, with historical trading losses of around $933,200 and currently holds no open positions. All 1,058 settled positions of the address utilized 1000x leverage; 37 were liquidated, leading to total margin losses of approximately 361,000 USDC, involving BTC and ETH. Separately, the address has staked about 84.98 million PAPER tokens, making up roughly 1.59% of the platform’s total staked amount, and has cumulatively claimed around 223,900 USDC in rewards.
Pump.fun co-founder Alon announced in a post that several major adjustments will be made to the Callout Rewards program in the coming days, with some changes set to take effect starting from today’s reward distribution. The adjustments include reducing the reward weight for callouts on low-market-cap tokens; trading volume will no longer be the primary factor determining rewards, as the focus shifts to the actual profits of followers. Going forward, if relevant participants fail to consistently help followers generate profits, their chances of earning rewards will be significantly reduced.

A crypto whale takes a long position on BTC, with unrealized profit exceeding $10 million.
According to TradingBeats monitoring, Hyperliquid whale address 0x8ea8…edbc holds 1,000 BTC long positions, with the position valued at approximately $83.04 million. The address uses 3x full leverage, with an average entry price of around $72,771, current unrealized profit of roughly $10.27 million, and a position return rate of about 37.1%. The address already held around 800 BTC long positions as early as May 11, with an unrealized profit of approximately $5.3 million at that time, before increasing the position size to 1,000 BTC. As of press time, the BTC contract mark price is approximately $83,037, some 14.1% higher than the address’s average entry price. The estimated liquidation price for the position is around $50,382, roughly 39.3% lower than the mark price.

LUMIA fiyatı son yedi günde yaklaşık %100 yükselirken, Aster DEX’te işlem yapan altı cüzdanın toplam gerçekleşmemiş kârı 949 bin dolara ulaştı. Lookonchain’in paylaştığı verilere göre cüzdanlar, 3x kaldıraçla toplam 11,7 milyon LUMIA için long pozisyon açtı. Pozisyonların toplam değeri yaklaşık 1,9 milyon dolar.
Cüzdanlardan birindeki getiri %160’ı aşarken, bu kazançların henüz kesinleşmediğini hatırlatmak gerekiyor. Pozisyonlar açık kaldığı sürece LUMIA fiyatındaki ters hareketler kârı azaltabilir.
LUMIA Yükselişinde 6 Cüzdan Ne Kadar Kazandı? Paylaşılan CoinGecko verisinde LUMIA 0,1673 dolar seviyesinde işlem görüyor ve token son yedi günde %96,4 yükselmiş durumda. Piyasa değeri yaklaşık 40,2 milyon dolar, son 24 saatteki işlem hacmi ise 106,89 milyon dolar.
Lookonchain’in aktardığı verilere göre altı cüzdan, Aster DEX üzerinde toplam 11,7 milyon LUMIA için yükseliş yönlü pozisyon aldı. Bu pozisyonların büyüklüğü yaklaşık 1,9 milyon dolara ulaştı.
Pozisyonlardaki toplam gerçekleşmemiş kâr 949 bin dolar civarında. En yüksek getiri ise %160’ı aştı. LUMIA’nın fiyatındaki hızlı yükseliş, kaldıraçlı işlem açan bu cüzdanların kazançlarını büyüttü.
949 Bin Dolarlık Kâr Kesinleşti mi? Hayır. Açıklanan 949 bin dolar, cüzdanların pozisyonlarını kapatarak elde ettiği kesinleşmiş kazancı değil, açık işlemlerindeki gerçekleşmemiş kârı gösteriyor.
Altı cüzdanın kullandığı 3x kaldıraç, LUMIA yükseldiğinde getiriyi artırıyor. Fiyat ters yönde hareket ettiğinde ise aynı mekanizma kayıpları büyütebiliyor ve pozisyonları tasfiye riskine yaklaştırabiliyor.
LUMIA’nın son haftadaki yükselişi bu işlemleri kâra taşımış olsa da asıl belirleyici, fiyatın bundan sonra nasıl hareket edeceği olacak. Cüzdanlar pozisyonlarını kapatmadığı sürece 949 bin dolarlık tutar değişebilir; dolayısıyla bu rakamı gerçekleşmiş kazanç olarak değerlendirmek doğru değil.

Bitcoin treasury firms remain the most bullish players on the asset in 2026. So far, businesses have bought the largest stash of 193K Bitcoin, nearly 20x more than overall purchases made by nation-states over the same period.
The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) and hedge funds had a small outflow of 594 BTC, while individuals dumped a whopping 93K BTC.
Out of the massive appetite seen amongst businesses, Strategy accounted for over 91% of 2026 BTC purchases, or about 175K BTC. Analysts hailed the buying spree, given that Bitcoin has been stuck in a winter market for most of 2026.
For Phong Le, Strategy CEO, however, the trend was positive and cemented their Bitcoin bet.
The trend towards corporate, institution, bank, and nation-state adoption of Bitcoin is encouraging and makes us even more bullish on Bitcoin.

Other Bitcoin treasury firms acquired 8K BTC, but after adjusting for total business holdings, the stash fell to 193K BTC because miners offloaded 33K BTC as some pursue an AI pivot.
Source: River Why Strategy is betting on Bitcoin’s broader adoption Strategy’s initial Bitcoin bet was to offer amplified exposure to clients via its stock MSTR. The stock would offer several multiples of gains and losses relative to Bitcoin swings.
However, with preferred stocks, the firm doubled down on the ‘digital credit’ model backed by its Bitcoin holdings.
Recently, the firm has been closely tracking a composite Bitcoin adoption index across nations, firms, and associated products tied to the asset. Worth noting that the firm initially floated the idea of becoming the first Bitcoin bank to offer more digital credit products beyond Stretch [STRC].
Currently, the 12% yield paid to STRC and other preferred stocks is generated by diluting MSTR shareholders. In fact, some have criticized the model as a ‘Ponzi scheme’ because the yield is not coming directly from its vast BTC holdings.
It remains to be seen how Strategy will scale its digital credit pipeline.
That said, despite Bitcoin treasury firms leading the demand front by $15 billion in 2026, this was still low relative to 2025.

Strategy has a cost basis of about $75K, while the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF has an average cost basis of $82K. As such, these levels could act as crucial support if the ongoing Bitcoin pullback deepens.

Strive’s SATA program reportedly generated about 55 million dollars this week, enough to buy nearly 638 bitcoins. But this financing capacity depends directly on the preferred stock price. From Wednesday, the stock fell below 100 dollars, preventing the company from continuing its issuances. A limit that recalls the risks of the Strategy-inspired model.
In brief The SATA program reportedly brought in 55 million dollars, the equivalent of 638 bitcoins, according to trackers. The stock closed below its nominal value of 100 dollars for three sessions out of five, slowing new issuances. As of October 2, Strive held 29,462 bitcoins, according to its latest official filing, which also reports 1,304,902 additional preferred shares. Financing stopped below 100 dollars The mechanism relies on a simple logic. Strive, which held 27,462 bitcoins at the end of September, gradually sells SATA preferred shares as part of an “at-the-market” (ATM) program. The company then uses the funds raised to strengthen its bitcoin reserve.
However, this device imposes a condition: the stock must remain above its nominal value of 100 dollars. Yet, this week, SATA only exceeded this threshold on Monday and Tuesday. From Wednesday onward, the price dropped below, thus cutting the main source of financing for purchases.
According to trackers, Strive still raised about 55 million dollars over the week, enough to acquire nearly 638 bitcoins. This estimate is based on trades executed above par and on a ratio calculated from previous company statements. With bitcoin around 82,800 dollars Friday, this amount matches the announced magnitude.
Strive takes the lead over Strategy Michael Saylor popularized this strategy at Strategy thanks to STRC, its perpetual preferred variable rate share. Strive adopts the same principle with SATA, but on a smaller scale.
In its October 5 filing with the SEC, Strive indicates having issued 1,304,902 additional preferred shares between September 25 and October 2. Their nominal value thus exceeds 130 million dollars.
Over the same period, Strategy sold no STRC shares and financed the purchase of 334 bitcoins with common shares, bringing its reserve to 848,000 units. However, Saylor sees Strive as an ally rather than a rival.
Dividends to finance over time This strategy nevertheless has a cost. Each SATA issuance brings immediate funds but also increases the dividends that Strive will have to pay in the future. As of September 30, the company estimated its annualized obligations at 168.2 million dollars, for 1.294 billion dollars of shares issued at par.
Moreover, its portfolio remains exposed to bitcoin fluctuations. As of September 30, Strive held 28,000 BTC purchased at an average price of 90,170 dollars, while their market value reached about 2.34 billion dollars. Bitcoin was then trading below this acquisition cost. The 2,000 bitcoins bought the following week were acquired at about 84,422 dollars each.
The next official filing will be awaited to know the exact balance of the week. Meanwhile, the 638 bitcoins remain an estimate. One thing is certain: Strive’s model works as long as investors accept to buy SATA above its nominal value.

More volatility is expected on Monday morning as usual.
The weekend is going relatively calmly for bitcoin and most of the crypto market, as is typical, but another macro event in the past several hours threatened to disrupt that.
Yemen’s Houthis reportedly attacked the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with at least 12 people killed and over 300 injured. Saudi Arabia’s authorities have vowed to respond to the attack, while the Houthis are yet to comment on it.
Fighting in the region has escalated in the past week or so, as another three people were killed in separate Houthi strikes on two different Saudi airports on October 6 and 7.
International authorities, as well as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, strongly condemned the recent attacks. Rubio even confirmed an American citizen was killed. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump suggested that his country is likely to join the strikes against the Houthis:
“We may. We’re going to look at it. We just found out about the recent attack, so we’ll make a decision. We move very quickly.”
The consequences for bitcoin and the altcoins are not evident yet. BTC has remained close to $83,000, while most alts have remained sideways over the past 24 hours. However, history has taught us that the real volatility arrives on Monday morning when most financial markets start to open.
Recall the events from last week. The tension in the Middle East skyrocketed over the weekend again, with Iran saying it has prepared for a fresh US bombing campaign after Trump’s top security officials met at Camp David on Friday in a meeting focused on that war.
BTC stood in a well-defined range over the weekend, before the fluctuations began on Monday morning with an unsuccessful breakout attempt and a violent rejection.

Russia has introduced new electricity supply rules requiring cryptocurrency mining farms to accept lower-priority power connections, allowing authorities to disconnect their facilities during shortages while protecting electricity supplies for households and other consumers.
Summary
Russia has limited cryptocurrency mining grid connections to Category 4 reliability under government Resolution 1300. Mining farms face priority electricity cuts during shortages as authorities seek to protect other consumers. The October 6 decree covers cryptocurrency mining facilities, mining pools, and companies operating mining infrastructure. Previously submitted grid connection applications remain subject to revised requirements if their processing remains incomplete. Russia introduced Category 4 power connections in February 2026 to manage electricity shortages more effectively. The Russian Ministry of Energy confirmed the changes on October 9 following the government’s adoption of Resolution No. 1300 on October 6. The measure requires cryptocurrency miners and mining infrastructure operators seeking connections to the national electricity grid to use Category 4 power supply reliability, which permits interruptions when electricity is needed elsewhere.
The new requirements apply across Russia, including regions where mining is permitted. They affect new grid connection applications and certain previously submitted requests that have not been completed.
Russia requires crypto miners to accept lower-priority electricity Under the new rules, companies operating cryptocurrency mining farms can connect their equipment to electricity networks only through Category 4 power supply arrangements.
Government Resolution No. 1300 amended the country’s existing electricity connection regulations, introducing a specific requirement for facilities used to mine digital currencies or provide mining infrastructure services.
The measure covers companies operating mining equipment, businesses participating in mining pools and infrastructure providers supporting cryptocurrency mining activities.
Category 4 connections have a lower supply priority than conventional electricity arrangements. Operators accepting these connections must be prepared for interruptions when electricity networks experience shortages or operational problems.
The Ministry of Energy said mining facilities could be disconnected without the advance coordination normally associated with higher-priority electricity users.
According to the ministry, placing miners in this category will help prevent additional electricity demand from reducing the power available to other customers.
The government expects the arrangement to allow mining facilities to use existing electricity infrastructure without requiring the same level of guaranteed capacity provided to higher-priority consumers.
Importantly, the decree does not impose an immediate nationwide shutdown of operating mining farms. It changes the conditions under which mining facilities obtain grid connections and establishes rules for handling electricity shortages. The text does not establish that every facility already operating under a completed higher-priority connection must immediately move to Category 4.
Bitcoin mining farms could lose power during shortages The Category 4 framework was introduced in February 2026 through Government Resolution No. 103, which established a separate electricity connection arrangement for consumers willing to accept a less reliable supply.
The February regulations allow eligible electricity users to obtain connections when the existing grid cannot support another conventional connection without infrastructure improvements.
However, customers using the lower-priority arrangement face restrictions during emergency conditions.
According to the government rules, Category 4 consumers are placed ahead of most other electricity users when authorities prepare emergency power reduction schedules. Their electricity is generally restored after supplies return to higher-priority customers.
For cryptocurrency miners, the October decree makes Category 4 the required reliability category for qualifying new grid connections. Officials explained that the measure would help address unexpected increases in electricity demand from mining facilities, which can operate continuously and require substantial power capacity.
In its statement, the Energy Ministry described the changes as supporting the “efficient use of existing energy infrastructure” while protecting reliable electricity supplies for residents.
Mining operators would remain responsible for managing their operations when electricity becomes unavailable. The regulations do not promise uninterrupted service or require authorities to maintain power for mining equipment during shortages.
The decree’s technical requirements cover grid connection procedures and the equipment needed for emergency electricity restrictions.
Applications may be rejected if the electricity system operator determines that the requested connection cannot meet the applicable technical conditions.
Russia updates mining restrictions in areas facing power shortages The latest rules contain provisions for regions where the government has restricted cryptocurrency mining because of electricity supply concerns.
Under Resolution No. 1300, the treatment of Category 4 mining connections depends on whether the government has imposed a complete mining prohibition in a particular territory. Where a complete ban applies, electricity providers cannot accept new Category 4 connection applications for mining equipment covered by that restriction.
Processing of previously submitted applications and work under certain existing connection agreements must be suspended until the relevant prohibition is lifted. Once a complete prohibition ends, the rules require electricity network companies to resume specified procedures and address affected connection agreements within the periods established by the decree.
The legislation separately provides for certain regions where mining may operate under Category 4 connections despite restrictions that would otherwise apply.
However, qualifying for a lower-priority electricity connection does not automatically exempt mining operators from every regional ban. Russia has expanded its regional mining restrictions several times since legalizing regulated cryptocurrency mining in 2024.
Earlier measures covered parts of the North Caucasus and Siberia, where electricity shortages and growing demand had raised concerns among local authorities.
In August 2026, Russia expanded restrictions on cryptocurrency mining in Moscow, the surrounding Moscow Region and designated areas of Kursk.
Government Resolution No. 936 introduced restrictions beginning August 15, 2026, with an end date of December 31, 2032, unless amended.
Regional energy officials had estimated that cryptocurrency mining consumed approximately one gigawatt of electricity within Moscow’s power system. The figure was cited during discussions about preventing capacity shortages.
Separate regional cryptocurrency mining controls were introduced beginning in January 2025, including seasonal restrictions affecting parts of Buryatia, Zabaykalsky Krai and Irkutsk.
The October electricity connection decree operates alongside the existing restrictions governing where mining activity is permitted.
New power rules affect pending mining connection applications Mining companies planning new facilities must now account for the Category 4 requirement when submitting grid connection requests.
The decree amends the technical connection process and requires qualifying mining facilities to meet the relevant conditions covering system capacity, protective equipment and electricity network operations. For applications already submitted but not yet completed, the new framework may change how electricity providers review requests and issue technical connection conditions.
Government Resolution No. 1300 specifies that when a complete regional mining ban applies, providers must suspend the processing of affected pending applications, the signing of relevant connection agreements and certain previously agreed implementation deadlines.
The legislation sets procedures for restarting those processes when a full prohibition is canceled, including requirements concerning updated connection agreements and applicable charges. In cases where a grid operator cannot approve the necessary Category 4 connection conditions, the regulations provide for rejection or cancellation of applications under specified circumstances.
Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service had separately proposed restrictions preventing electricity companies from conducting cryptocurrency mining or supplying certain facilities and capacity to mining businesses. Bits.media reported on October 10 that the proposal formed part of regulatory discussions concerning electricity providers’ involvement in the mining industry. The October 6 decree does not establish that the antimonopoly proposal has been adopted.
The Ministry of Energy has not announced how many mining farms will require new connections under Category 4 or how much electricity capacity the changes are expected to release for other consumers.
