Market Signal Briefing

BNB “mindshare” has surged over 250% in just a week, according to Messari, with one analyst pointing to a market shift toward high-throughput, low-cost chains. 

The native token of BNB Chain crossed over $1,330 for the first time on Wednesday, after registering a gain of over 27% in the last week, according to data aggregator CoinGecko, nearly a week after clocking its previous high of $1,111.

Crypto market intelligence firm Messari said in an X post on Wednesday, BNB’s’ mindshare, which measures public attention, discussion, and awareness, has seen a 251% spike to 5.09% in the last seven days, while its price gains have come alongside “very bullish sentiment.” 

Source: MessariSpeaking to Cointelegraph, Rachael Lucas, an analyst at Australian cryptocurrency exchange BTC Markets, said the surge in sentiment is likely due to BNB benefiting from a shift in market focus toward high-throughput, low-cost chains with active ecosystems.

The token terminal lists BNB Chain fees at an average of $0.46, while an upgrade to increase the gas limit to 100 million per second and reduce the block time to 750 milliseconds went live on Tuesday, up from a 3-second block time and a 47 million gas limit per second.

Memecoins and market cap flip spur investor interest Two of the most significant developments for BNB in the last week have centered on its rising market capitalization and growing interest in memecoins. 

The token’s market capitalization was hovering around $140 billion on Oct. 1 and has since climbed to a peak of over $183 billion on Wednesday, securing a spot as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Traders have also been pocketing significant gains on small-cap memecoins on the BNB Chain over the past week, with some of the most successful traders prioritizing BNB-native memecoins over all others. 

“The memecoin boom has driven retail engagement, while innovations like onchain access to macroeconomic data are attracting DeFi developers.”Ecosystem growth and institutional interest also play a factor BNB announced a $1 billion builder fund on Wednesday to support developers building projects on the chain, including artificial intelligence, trading, wallets and payments-related.

Lucas said initiatives like the builder fund “signal a strong commitment to developer growth, while a surge in memecoin trading has pushed BNB Chain’s network fees and usage to record highs.” 

BNB Chain is leading the market in terms of DEX volume, with over $6 billion recorded and $5.57 million in chain fees, according to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain.

Source: Lookonchain“Institutional interest, such as CEA Industries’ treasury allocation, adds further credibility. While short-term technicals suggest BNB may be overbought, the underlying fundamentals, including real utility and growing developer traction, provide a solid foundation,” Lucas added.

BNB launched its Maxwell upgrade in June, which aimed to create faster blocks, among other goals, and the Lorentz Hard Fork in April, which introduced reduced block times and enhanced validator networking.

User metrics have jumped as wellThe blockchain’s total locked value has been steadily rising and has tapped $9.26 billion, while the number of active addresses spiked to 73.24 million last month, reaching the highest recorded level.

“BNB’s outperformance amid broader market softness suggests capital is rotating into ecosystems showing real usage and growth,” Lucas said. 

“While comparisons to past cycles warrant caution, BNB’s fundamentals, not just price action, are driving this momentum.” Magazine: Bitcoin to see ‘one more big thrust’ to $150K, ETH pressure builds

In brief
Zcash has surged over 140% in two weeks, hitting its highest level since 2021.
Nearly $2 million in short positions were liquidated as the token climbed to $170.
Analysts cite Grayscale access and endorsements from Naval Ravikant as key drivers.
The token belonging to privacy blockchain Zcash has more than tripled in value in under two weeks, reaching its highest price in over three years amid a broader crypto rally that has favored some assets more than others.

Zcash is posting double-digit gains, edging out 26% over the past 24 hours to $170, according to CoinGecko data, after rallying more than 140% in little under 14 days. Nearly $2 million in short positions have been liquidated as a result, CoinGlass data shows.

The rally stems from a combination of new institutional access and influential social media endorsements, experts told Decrypt.

“The recent price rise can be heavily attributed to Grayscale recently allowing eligible investors to gain exposure via their funds, along with prominent voices like investor Naval Ravikant voicing support,” Sean Dawson, head of research at on-chain options platform Dervie, told Decrypt.

The analyst’s comments align with sentiment data from crypto research platform Messari, which shows a 1,000% increase in Zcash's mindshare in recent weeks. 

The token has garnered social media mentions from prominent crypto personalities, including Ravikant, an American venture capitalist, and Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana infrastructure firm Helius Labs, which accelerated its breakout rally after a three-year muted sideways trend, Decrypt previously reported.

Zcash is a privacy-focused crypto that lets users send and receive transactions privately using zero-knowledge proofs to encrypt transaction information. 

Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, Zcash supports fully private transactions through its shielded addresses, which can conceal sender, receiver, and amount information on-chain.

“Bitcoin is insurance against fiat. ZCash is insurance against Bitcoin,” Ravikant wrote, speaking to the privacy nature of Zcash in a tweet on October 1.

Dawson added that in the context of Bitcoin's own surge, “investors are looking for outsized returns in related projects—a ZK version of Bitcoin is appealing.”

Some top altcoins have fared better than others this year, with tokens such as Chainlink, Cardano, Sui, and Dogecoin posting performances ranging from single-digit gains to double-digit losses.

Finding individual “pockets of strength” with altcoins like Zcash is not uncommon despite the current cycle’s largely institutional-driven capital flows, Peter Chung, head of research at Presto Research, told Decrypt on Wednesday.

Binance Coin (BNB) extended its hot streak, trading above $1,310 (up 3% on the day and 30% on the week), as it flipped XRP to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market value. BNB’s market cap now hovers near $182–185 billion, capping a seven-day run that outpaced Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The surge followed a clean breakout above $1,100 and $1,200, with bulls now eyeing $1,360 and the psychological $1,500 handle if momentum holds. On the downside, $1,200–$1,240 is the first support zone traders are watching for a healthy retest.

Record On-Chain Activity and Meme-Season Tailwinds
Currently, BNB Chain is printing cycle-high activity. Daily transactions have ranged 10–17 million, monthly active addresses reportedly hit 60 million, and DEX turnover on BNB Chain just notched $6.05 billion in 24 hours (with PancakeSwap contributing $4.29B).

A memecoin rush has also gripped the network as analytics from Bubblemaps show 100,000+ traders piled into BNB memecoins, with 70% booking gains and $516M in total profits across over 93,000 winners.

CZ-themed tickers like “4” and “Broccoli” helped propel BNB to the top of DEXScreener’s trending lists, while tokens such as PALU and “Binance Life” collectively moved over $300 million in a single session, eclipsing meme volumes on rival chains.

Institutional and enterprise signals are building too, with CEA Industries disclosing 480,000 BNB ($585M) with an aim to reach 1% of supply.

Regionally, a Kazakhstan-backed BNB fund and growing integrations (including Chainlink’s data standard bringing official U.S. macro series like GDP and PCE on-chain) underscore expanding utility across DeFi, prediction markets, and payments.

What to Watch For Binance Coin (BNB): Levels, Catalysts, and Risks
Near term, the setup favors trend continuation while $1,200–$1,240 holds; reclaiming $1,320–$1,360 on rising spot volume would strengthen a run at $1,500. Key medium-term drivers include sustained on-chain throughput, sticky DEX/DeFi fees, and additional institutional balance-sheet exposure or partnerships.

Still, after a parabolic week, the market is sensitive to profit-taking and social-driven froth; some community voices have questioned the pace of gains, raising the usual concerns around leverage and manipulation that typically surface during vertical moves.

Key Takeaways 
Why is AVAX down?
Avalanche dropped by 5% in the past 24 hours, aligning with the correction seen in the crypto markets.

Can activity spark a reversal?
Rising on-chain activity suggested a potential rebound in price action.

Avalanche [AVAX] has recently drawn public attention, reflected in rising on-chain activity. However, its price dropped over 5% in the past 24 hours, at press time, extending to a 7% decline over the week.

This pullback aligns with the broader crypto market correction following last week’s bullish momentum. Notably, the dip attracted a significant buy-in, hinting at possible signs of a reversal.

Whales accumulate!
According to Arkham data, a whale bought about 200K AVAX valued at about $6 million in the past 24 hours. The activity indicated a classic accumulation behavior of informed money during periods of market strength.

At the same time, another whale transferred about $12 million into a Coinbase wallet.

On top of that, activity on the blockchain was also on the rise.

Booming chain activity
On-chain data from DefiLlama revealed that the altcoin saw a $200 million increase in trading volume, as of writing, pushing its cumulative volume past $950 billion.

Decentralized exchange (DEX) activity made up nearly 33% of the total daily volume. Token liquidity stood at approximately $3.74 million, which included user rewards.

Source: DefiLlama

Development activity is continuously growing, which is contributing to the bullish sentiment.

The number of smart contracts on Avalanche’s ecosystem has more than tripled over the past year. As of press time, the cumulative number of contracts was more than 44 million.

The total burned AVAX reached 4.8 million, which reduces the supply. The average burn rate has been 1,250 tokens per day since mid-July.

More activity is expected as the Avalanche blockchain will be hosting FIFA’s NFT tokens for the 2026 World Cup using AvaCloud. As reported by CoinMarketCap, this would power real-world programs.

Will the altcoin reverse the weakening price?
On the charts, AVAX had broken below a narrowing rising wedge pattern. The altcoin confirmed the fall with an equal lower high at the breakout level.

On the four-hour chart, AVAX price was stabilizing around the 0.75 Fibonacci Retracement level. This was after breaking below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

Reclaiming the 200 EMA as support would confirm the reversal. Still, if the current level held, it could be a great zone to go long as it aligned with the Fib level known to spark reversals.

Still, it was unclear.

Source: TradingView

Alternatively, AVAX could drop to $26 to retest the previously broken range high. Since mid-September, the altcoin has traded within a range between $22 and $26.

At present, AVAX is in a state of indecision, especially when viewed against the broader market backdrop. 

Still, both on-chain metrics and technical indicators are beginning to show early signs of a potential reversal.

Peter Schiff warns Bitcoin will be “rugged by gold” as gold price rises.
Schiff predicts Bitcoin will struggle if gold surpasses $4,000 per ounce.
Tech entrepreneur Brian Shuster challenges Schiff, citing Bitcoin’s growth.
Investor Paul Tudor Jones predicts an explosive Bitcoin rally despite Schiff’s view.

The long-standing rivalry between Bitcoin and gold has sparked renewed debate, with economist Peter Schiff reigniting discussions over which asset will dominate in the upcoming market cycle. Schiff, a well-known critic of Bitcoin, warned that gold could soon overshadow digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, in terms of investor interest.

Schiff’s Warning: Bitcoin to be “Rugged by Gold”
In a recent post on X, Schiff expressed concerns that Wall Street’s overly optimistic view on cryptocurrencies might soon face a reality check. He argued that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are on the brink of a significant downturn, which he attributes to gold’s rising appeal. Schiff stated that, should gold surpass $4,000 per ounce, Bitcoin would likely experience a sharp sell-off, dragging other cryptocurrencies down with it.

Schiff, who has long been a gold advocate, noted that the current bullish sentiment surrounding crypto is unsustainable. He predicted that investors could soon shift their focus back to traditional safe-haven assets like gold. As the crypto market faces potential turbulence, Schiff believes that gold’s value will grow as a hedge against uncertainty, gaining momentum among investors.

Brian Shuster Challenges Schiff’s Viewpoint
However, tech entrepreneur Brian Shuster disagreed with Schiff’s bearish outlook on Bitcoin. Shuster argued that the increasing market capitalization and adoption trends of Bitcoin could lead to the opposite effect. He suggested that Bitcoin’s expanding presence in the financial ecosystem might continue to attract more investors, regardless of gold’s performance.

Shuster’s comments sparked a back-and-forth between the two, with Schiff acknowledging the growth in gold’s appeal but reiterating his belief that Bitcoin would face significant challenges. Schiff emphasized that while gold has yet to see widespread adoption, the trend toward investing in gold is gradually gaining traction compared to the previous year.

Paul Tudor Jones Predicts Bitcoin’s Future Surge
While Schiff warns of a potential decline, veteran investor Paul Tudor Jones offered a different perspective. Jones, a well-regarded figure in the investment world, predicted that Bitcoin could see an explosive rally. His bullish outlook contrasts sharply with Schiff’s bearish predictions, showing the division of opinion among prominent investors.

Jones, known for his expertise in macroeconomic trends, sees Bitcoin as a viable asset in the face of ongoing economic uncertainties. His predictions suggest that Bitcoin’s market trajectory could defy Schiff’s expectations, with a potential surge rather than a collapse.

Reliance purchases $17M in XRP, joining a growing trend of corporate adoption.
Corporate XRP holdings now exceed $11.5 billion, with SBI Holdings leading.
Gumi Inc. allocates $13.5M of $38M capital raise to XRP treasury.
VivoPower raises $19M to expand its XRP treasury as adoption continues.

XRP continues to gain traction as a digital reserve asset among corporate treasuries, with recent corporate moves indicating a growing interest in the token. This surge follows the news that Nasdaq-listed Reliance Global Group has added XRP to its digital asset reserves.

The company made a $17 million purchase of the cryptocurrency, contributing to the overall growth of XRP holdings in corporate portfolios.

Reliance’s Strategic Investment in XRP
Reliance Global Group announced on September 30 that it had acquired $17 million worth of XRP. The company emphasized that this purchase is part of a broader effort to diversify its holdings in blockchain-based assets that have strong fundamentals and utility. Reliance Chairman and CEO Ezra Beyman highlighted XRP’s attributes, speed, scalability, and energy efficiency, as key reasons for its inclusion in the company’s long-term strategy.

XRP, which ranks as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is known for its ability to process low-cost, high-speed cross-border transactions. The token’s ability to settle transactions in under five seconds, with fees costing a fraction of a cent, positions it as a preferred choice for companies seeking efficient and scalable solutions.

Global Expansion of Corporate XRP Adoption
The growing interest in XRP as a digital reserve asset extends beyond the United States. Gumi Inc., a Japanese gaming and blockchain company, recently raised $38 million in capital. Of that amount, $13.5 million will be allocated to the company’s XRP treasury. This move is part of Gumi’s broader Digital Asset Token (DAT) initiative, which aims to increase shareholder value through cross-chain integrations and staking, alongside token appreciation.

Meanwhile, VivoPower, an energy company, raised $19 million by selling shares to bolster its XRP treasury. These actions highlight a broader trend among public companies adopting XRP as a strategic reserve asset. The token’s growing adoption is evident as more companies in various sectors are integrating it into their financial strategies.

XRP Treasury Holdings Reach New Heights
Data from Crypto Treasury Tracker reveals that XRP holdings in corporate treasuries have now surpassed $11.5 billion. This increase underscores XRP’s rising prominence as a key asset in the portfolios of publicly traded companies.

The top holder of XRP is SBI Holdings, based in Japan, with an estimated $10.4 billion in XRP reserves. Other notable companies, including Trident Digital and Webus International, are also significant contributors to the growing XRP treasury pool.

Trident Digital, in particular, has been proactive in securing corporate XRP reserves. The company announced plans in June to raise up to $500 million to establish one of the first major corporate XRP treasuries globally.

XRP is surging into the spotlight as CME prepares regulated options, signaling rising institutional demand, growing futures volume, and expanding access to compliant crypto exposure. XRP Options Set to Explode With CME Launch Institutional activity in digital asset derivatives continues to accelerate as market participants anticipate broader access to regulated crypto instruments.

XRP traded near $3 as traders weighed Fed rate-cut bets against U.S. shutdown delays, ETF uncertainty, and growing corporate interest in XRP reserves.

Solana has posted a landmark $2.85 billion in revenue over the past year, firmly establishing itself as one of the most profitable blockchain ecosystems today. According to a recent report from 21Shares, the network averaged roughly $240 million in monthly revenue between October 2024 and September 2025, far surpassing Ethereum's early revenue figures.

After months of sluggish momentum and sideways trading, Dogecoin (DOGE) is entering a critical technical phase that could set the stage for a significant market shift. Recent chart analysis indicates that Dogecoin’s dominance may be on the verge of a significant breakout, a move that could translate into stronger upward momentum for its price. Analysts believe Dogecoin’s current chart setup is similar to previous major bullish cycles, making this a critical period for traders. 

Dogecoin Dominance Breakout To Ignite Fresh Rally   
Dogecoin‘s dominance has spent nearly three and a half years in a controlled downtrend, beginning in 2021, and finally breaking out of this major resistance in late 2024. According to crypto analyst EtherNasyonal on X social media, the market experienced its first key breakout in November 2024, with a successful retest taking place in June 2025. More recently, a minor downtrend also broke out and retested, signaling growing strength in DOGE’s market position.

The accompanying chart shows a “bullish pin bar” on the retest, which EtherNasyonal emphasized is a classic sign of trend reversal and strong buying momentum. This aligns with the growing dominance curve projected well into 2026, potentially positioning DOGE to capture a larger share of the overall crypto market capitalization. If the dominance continues its current trajectory, the analyst expects it to move from 0.95% dominance to almost 5.5%, an increase that could trigger an explosive price action.

EtherNasyonal also reiterated Dogecoin’s unique history and growth in the crypto space. In a previous post, he noted that what began as a light-hearted meme has now evolved into a global financial and cultural phenomenon. According to the analyst, a single image of a Shiba Inu has evolved into a movement built on community, humour, and accessibility. 

He also stated that when SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk first embraced Dogecoin, the coin’s profile skyrocketed. He mentioned that Musk’s lighthearted tweets gave Dogecoin an identity, transforming it from meme to movement. He further added that the meme coin now stands on a more mature foundation, with a loyal global community and integration with various exchange platforms. 

DOGE Resistance Battle Could Define Its Next Move
For months, Dogecoin has repeatedly tested the $0.25-$0.28 resistance zone but has so far failed to break through. Crypto market analyst Matt Hughes pointed out that the current price structure is showing a tightening consolidation near $0.24, indicating growing momentum beneath the surface and signaling that the cryptocurrency may be gearing up for a breakout. 

The analyst noted that a decisive push above $0.27 could trigger a sharp rally toward the final target of $0.36 or higher. Before that, Dogecoin is projected to reach an initial price target zone between $0.31 and $0.32, as illustrated on the chart. Hughes also highlighted a series of higher lows formation, indicating steady accumulation and increased buying pressure—a common pre-breakout behavior.

Bitcoin’s dominance stayed just above 58%, while Ethereum’s market share fell below 13%.

Cryptocurrency liquidations reached $325 million in the last 24 hours, with nearly equal amounts of longs and shorts evaporated, according to Coinglass.

Interestingly, Bitcoin’s open interest dropped 1.31%. A drop in open interest coming alongside a price increase typically indicates short position traders closing their positions.

Meanwhile, nearly 60% of Binance traders with open BTC positions were short as of this writing.

"This suggests that Bitcoin may continue to rally, and that a top is still not on the horizon," Moreno added.

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ted Pillows highlighted the importance of the $4,250-$4,300 support zone for Ethereum.

"If this level holds, Ethereum will start the reversal. Otherwise, expect a drop towards $4,000 in the coming weeks," Pillows projected.

Bitcoin is currently clear of “overbought conditions” and is set to track a steady path upward despite hitting a new all-time high on Monday, according to analysts. 

Bitcoin (BTC) hit a peak high of over $126,000 on Monday, which places it “roughly halfway through its four-year price cycle,” CryptoQuant contributor Arab Chain said on Wednesday. 

“Despite this strong performance, technical indicators suggest the price is still moving within a stable range far from the overbought conditions that typically precede historical peaks,” it added.

Bitcoin shows signs of “upward momentum”Arab Chain stated that Bitcoin “appears to be in a phase of balanced upward momentum,” with its 30-day moving average, which is the average closing price over the last 30 days, being just under $116,000, “suggesting a steady upward trend without sharp deviations.”

It added that Bitcoin’s 30-day standard deviation, or the variability of its returns, was also “relatively low at $4,540, reflecting a compression in volatility, a condition that typically precedes strong price movements, especially upward, if supported by renewed liquidity inflows.”

Bitcoin’s growth ratio has been on an upward trajectory since May 2024. Source: CryptoQuantThe analysts said Bitcoin tends to reach its cycle peak up to 600 days after its halving, where mining rewards are slashed 50%, and if that pattern continues, Bitcoin is now “within the critical window that has previously led to major bull market tops.”

“Stars are aligned” for record Q4 ETF inflows: BitwiseIt comes as Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan predicted on Tuesday that inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) will surge in the fourth quarter.

Hougan said that Bitcoin’s surging price is one of the reasons that inflows into US Bitcoin ETFs “will set a record” in Q4, and will “pull in more money in 2025 than they did in their record-setting first year, when they attracted $36 billion.”

The ETFs have attracted $22.5 billion in inflows in the first nine months of the year, which would put them on pace to end 2025 with approximately $30 billion in flows.

“Here’s a hot take: I’m not worried,” Hougan said. “From where I sit, the stars are aligned for a very strong Q4 for flows—more than enough to push us to a new record.”

He said the “most fundamental” reason he predicts high flows to cap 2025 is that he’s “bullish on Bitcoin returns for Q4.”

Gold (blue) and Bitcoin (orange) ETF inflows by year since launch. Source: Bitwise“Although it’s a bit counterintuitive, higher prices often spur greater demand for Bitcoin ETFs as the media, companies, and everyday investors pivot their attention to Bitcoin,” Hougan said.

He added that in every quarter where Bitcoin saw double-digit growth, inflows to Bitcoin ETFs also saw “double-digit billions in inflows.”

“Debasement trade,” platform approvals put Q4 at a good startHougan said his prediction is also based on a wider range of investors being able to invest in the ETFs as wealth managers open up to them and as traders look to invest in assets that do well with a weakening US dollar.

Wall Street will look for “The Debasement Trade” to buy well-performing assets as the US dollar weakens, Hougan said, and gold and Bitcoin have both performed well so far this year.

“Why does this matter? Because when advisers sit down with their clients for their annual review, they want their year-end printouts to show that they hold the most successful investments. There’s only one way to do that: By buying gold and Bitcoin.”That debasement trade will be helped by some of the largest wealth managers “finally changing” to open up their platforms to Bitcoin ETFs, Hougan said.

He noted a Morgan Stanley report released earlier this month that guides 16,000 advisers said they could “flexibly allocate to cryptocurrency as part of their multiasset portfolio” with a suggested allocation of up to 4% for “risk-tolerant investors.”

Hougan added that Q4 “is off to a great start” with the ETFs taking in $3.5 billion in net flows in the first four trading days.

“We have 64 more days to get another $10 billion,” he said. “I think we’ll do that and then some.”

Trade Secrets: Bitcoin to see ‘one more big thrust’ to $150K, ETH pressure builds 

Key takeaways:

Solana ETFs and ETPs recorded $706 million in weekly inflows, outpacing XRP’s $219 million, per CoinShares.

SOL funding rates stayed below the 6% neutral level, signaling reduced appetite for leveraged bullish positions among traders.

Solana’s native token, SOL (SOL), climbed back to $229 on Tuesday after briefly dipping to $218. The move came as investors responded positively to the US Federal Reserve’s release of minutes from its Sept. 17 meeting, which reaffirmed expectations of additional interest rate cuts in 2025.

Traders remain optimistic that SOL could advance toward the $300 mark, a target that appears realistic given the strong bullish sentiment reflected in derivatives metrics and onchain data.

Blockchains ranked by 7-day fees. Source: NansenSolana recorded a 22% increase in seven-day network fees, driven by rising activity across decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Meanwhile, its main rival by deposits, Ethereum, saw the opposite trend, with network revenue falling 21% during the same period. Solana continues to dominate in transaction count, surpassing the combined total of Ethereum and its layer-2 ecosystem.

Weekly Solana DEX (left) and perpetual (right) volumes, USD. Source: DefiLlamaDEX volumes on Pump rose 78% over the past seven days, followed by a 73% increase on Meteora and a 46% rise on Raydium. Solana regained its leading position in decentralized exchange activity, posting $129 billion in 30-day volume and surpassing Ethereum’s $114 billion, according to DefiLlama data. Notably, the fastest-growing rival, Hyperliquid, has stalled at around $31 billion.

Solana network activity increasesNetwork fees remain a key element for any blockchain focused on decentralized applications, particularly when the revenue helps offset inflationary pressures. Unless the system is centralized, maintaining validators incurs costs, and staking participants expect a reasonable return. In short, weak network activity discourages holding the native token and can trigger sell pressure.

Solana’s total value locked (TVL) rose 8% in 30 days, supporting further growth in network fees. Standout performers included a 20% rise in Kamino deposits, 12% in Drift, and 12% in Orca. By comparison, Ethereum’s TVL increased 3% over the same period, while Tron deposits grew 6%. As a result, Solana has solidified its position as the second-largest network, with $14.2 billion in TVL, representing an 8% market share.

The rapid surge in activity on the perpetual futures trading platform Aster has redirected traders’ focus toward BNB Chain, following a wave of memecoins that soared 150% or more within seven days. As a result, even though SOL’s price rose 3% during the same period, BNB’s remarkable 28% rally weighed on sentiment among Solana ecosystem investors.

Top 7-day performances of BNB Chain tokens, USD. Source: Cryptorank.ioRising inflows to SOL ETPs signal increasing institutional demandData from SOL perpetual futures provides insight into whether traders have lost confidence after the failed attempt to break above $250 on Sept. 18. Many SOL holders are likely frustrated, especially as some rival tokens have recently reached new all-time highs, including BNB at $1,357 on Tuesday and Mantle (MNT) at $2.81 on Wednesday.

SOL perpetual futures funding rate, annualized. Source: laevitas.chThe funding rate on SOL perpetual futures has remained below the 6% neutral threshold, signaling weak demand for bullish leveraged positions. This cautious stance among traders may be partly attributed to the growing traction of competing blockchains, which have drawn attention away from Solana despite record weekly inflows into its exchange-traded products.

CoinShares reported that Solana ETFs and ETPs attracted $706 million in inflows during the seven days ending Sept. 5, far surpassing the $219 million recorded by XRP instruments.

Key Takeaways
What is a Bitcoin ETN?
An ETN is a debt instrument that tracks crypto prices, letting investors gain exposure without owning the actual coins.

What is the Bank of England doing about stablecoins?
It plans to allow exemptions to holding limits for firms and permit stablecoins as settlement assets in its Digital Securities Sandbox.

The United Kingdom is reopening the door for retail investors to access crypto products, as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifts its 2021 ban on Bitcoin [BTC] exchange-traded notes (ETNs).

Bitcoin UK: FCA lifts ban on ETNs for retail investors
Starting the 8th of October, retail investors in the UK can access ETNs linked to Bitcoin or Ethereum [ETH], provided they are listed on a recognized exchange such as the London Stock Exchange.

But, these products must comply with strict listing, disclosure, and distribution rules, offering regulated exposure without requiring direct crypto ownership.

For those unaware, an ETN is an unsecured debt instrument that tracks an asset’s price. While investors gain exposure to Bitcoin’s performance, they do not hold the asset itself.

Needless to say, the move has been welcomed by the crypto industry as noted by Susie Violet Ward, CEO of Bitcoin Policy UK, who said, 

“Access matters, and lifting the ETN restriction is a welcome step in the right direction. What is important now is that the UK builds on this momentum.”

Bank of England puts limits on stablecoin
Meanwhile, the UK’s Bank of England is signaling a more flexible approach to digital assets. BoE plans to grant exemptions to proposed limits on stablecoin holdings.

According to Bloomberg, certain firms, including crypto exchanges that need to hold significant stablecoins for liquidity and settlement, may qualify for these waivers.

The Bank also plans to allow the use of stablecoins as settlement assets within its Digital Securities Sandbox, providing a controlled environment for testing blockchain-based issuance and trading.

The uncanny rise in stablecoin
These changes come as the U.S. GENIUS Act establishes clear rules for dollar-backed stablecoins, setting a competitive benchmark.

Meanwhile, a new contender has emerged on the international stage, and that is China.

Once known for strict crypto bans, the country is now re-entering the market through Hong Kong, with a Central Asia–based issuer, AnchorX, unveiling AxCNH, the world’s first stablecoin pegged to the offshore Chinese Yuan (CNH).

Therefore, as the stablecoin ecosystem evolves, the UK faces mounting pressure to adapt quickly or risk losing ground in a market poised for trillions in global payments.

On October 7, 2025, Hamilton Lane Advisors sold its entire stake in Rubrik (RBRK 5.59%), an estimated $9.44 million trade based on quarterly average pricing for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

What happenedAccording to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dated October 7, 2025, Hamilton Lane Advisors LLC sold all 105,414 shares of Rubrik. The estimated trade value was $9.44 million. After the sale, the fund reported a zero position in Rubrik at the close of the filing period.

What else to knowThis was a complete liquidation of the Rubrik stake, which had represented 7.0% of the fund's AUM in the previous quarter. The post-trade allocation is 0% as of September 30, 2025.

Hamilton Lane's top holdings after the filing:

Blue Owl Capital: $43.50 million (29.3% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025Granite Ridge Resources: $42.57 million (28.6% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025Nu Holdings: $18.04 million (12.1% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025IonQ: $15.99 million (10.8% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025Pagaya: $12.10 million (8.1% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025As of October 6, 2025, shares of Rubrik were priced at $82.21, up 149.5% over the last year, outperforming the S&P 500 by 133.93 percentage points.

Company overviewMetricValuePrice (as of market close October 6, 2025)$82.21Market capitalization$15.74 billionRevenue (TTM)$1.08 billionNet income (TTM)($443.83 million)Company snapshotRubrik offers enterprise data protection, unstructured data protection, cloud and SaaS data protection, data threat analytics, security posture management, and cyber recovery solutions.

The company serves a diverse client base across financial, healthcare, technology, public sector, and other industries worldwide.

It is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with approximately 3,200 employees.

Rubrik specializes in data security and protection solutions, with a focus on safeguarding critical information for large organizations. Its integrated platform addresses a broad range of data security needs for enterprise clients.

Foolish takeCyber resilience leader, Rubrik, debuted on the markets in the middle of 2024 and has already seen its stock rise over 160%.

It looks like Hamilton Lane Advisors enjoyed most of this ride up and cashed out on their winning selection. With Rubrik's price-to-sales ratio rising from 7 to 15 in just one year, there's no denying the promising cybersecurity stock is now home to a lofty valuation.

To put this 15 times sales figure in perspective, if we assume Rubrik will mature to 20% net income margins, it would still be trading at 75 times earnings at today's share price.

However, Rubrik just grew revenue by 51% in its latest quarter, while seeing its existing customers grow their spending with the company by more than 20%.

Already integrated with the preventative cybersecurity behemoths of Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Okta, and Google's Mandiant, Rubrik might quickly grow into its lofty valuation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of National Grid plc (NYSE: NGG) resulting from allegations that National Grid plc may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

SO WHAT: If you purchased National Grid securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=41344 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On July 2, 2025, Reuters published an article entitled “‘Preventable’ National Grid failures led to Heathrow fire, findings say.” The article stated that a “fire that shut London’s Heathrow airport in March, stranding thousands of people, was caused by the UK power grid’s failure to maintain an electricity substation, an official report said on Wednesday, prompting the energy watchdog to open a probe.” Further, the article stated that the United Kingdom’s Energy minister, Ed Miliband, had “called the report “deeply concerning”, after it concluded that the issue which caused the fire was identified seven years ago but went unaddressed by power grid operator National Grid[.]”

On this news, National Grid’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) fell 5%, on July 2, 2024.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. At the time Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ClaimsFiler, a FREE shareholder information service, reminds investors that they have until October 28, 2025 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW), if they purchased the Company’s securities between January 30, 2025 and July 23, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Dow investors should visit us at https://claimsfiler.com/cases/nyse-dow-1/ or call toll-free (844) 367-9658. Lawyers at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC are available to discuss your legal options.

About the Lawsuit

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

On July 24, 2025, the Company disclosed a 2Q 2025 non-GAAP loss per share of $0.42, much larger than the approximate $0.17 to $0.18 per share loss expected by analysts, and net sales of $10.1 billion, representing a 7.3% year-over-year decline and missing consensus estimates by $130 million, “reflecting declines in all operating segments” due in part to “the lower-for-longer earnings environment that our industry is facing, amplified by recent trade and tariff uncertainties.” Further, the Company disclosed that it was cutting its dividend in half, from $0.70 per share to only $0.35 per share, citing the need for “financial flexibility amidst a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment.”

On this news, the price of Dow’s shares fell $5.30 per share, or 17.45%, to close at $25.07 per share on July 24, 2025.  

The case is Sarti v. Dow Inc., No. 25-cv-12744.

About the Lawsuit

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

On this news, the price of KBR’s shares fell $3.85 per share, or 7.29%, to close at $48.93 on June 20, 2025. On June 23, 2025, the next trading day, KBR stock fell a further $1.30, or 2.65%, to close at $47.63 on June 23, 2025.
