As global markets edge closer to the highly anticipated Federal Reserve (Fed) decision, Bitcoin investors are treading carefully. Despite improving macroeconomic indicators and easing global uncertainty, caution dominates trading desks as uncertainty over U.S. monetary policy clouds the outlook for risk assets like Bitcoin.

Nordea Bank's €648B Bitcoin fund launch and the Fed's 4% rate cut fuel speculation of a new BTC rally as institutional interest in crypto accelerates.

The much-anticipated Solana (SOL) ETF has officially gone live, triggering a wave of excitement across the crypto market. Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and Grayscale’s SOL ETF (GSOL) made their debut on U.S. exchanges this week, drawing significant investor interest.

BSOL alone posted over $72 million in second-day trading volume, with total net inflows surpassing $116 million. Combined, SOL ETFs now account for more than $430 million in assets, representing roughly 0.4% of the token’s total market cap.

Yet, despite the record-setting launch, Solana’s price remains muted. After briefly touching $201, SOL slipped back below $195, extending a pattern of post-launch consolidation that has left traders wondering whether the ETF hype has already been priced in.

SOL ETF Momentum Builds Despite Market Caution
The Bitwise Solana ETF stands out not only for its volume but for its staking-enabled structure, offering institutional investors up to 7% annual yields without direct exposure to DeFi mechanics.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described BSOL’s launch as “one of the strongest in 2025,” outpacing the Canary Litecoin and Hedera ETFs by a wide margin.

Meanwhile, Fidelity Digital Assets has accelerated its SOL ETF plans by removing the SEC “delaying amendment” from its S-1 filing, allowing automatic approval after 20 days.

This move signals growing regulatory confidence in Solana’s asset class status. Analysts believe this institutional push, alongside expected listings from VanEck and 21Shares, will gradually enhance liquidity and open traditional brokerage access to Solana.

Still, macro factors loom large. Hyblock Analytics noted that “ETF excitement coincides with FOMC week, leading institutions to de-risk temporarily,” suggesting that short-term weakness may mask long-term accumulation trends.

Can SOL Break Free from the $200 Barrier?
Technically, Solana continues to trade within a consolidation band between $188 and $204, with resistance near $207. Momentum indicators such as the RSI hover near neutral levels, signaling indecision.

A decisive hourly close above $200, supported by strong SOL ETF inflows, could trigger a run toward $225 or higher, while a breakdown below $188 risks a retest of $180 support.

For now, Solana’s ETF success has validated its institutional appeal, but traders remain cautious. The “sell-the-news” phase may give way to renewed momentum once inflows stabilize and macro pressure eases. As history has shown with Bitcoin and Ethereum, patience often pays when ETF demand outlasts early volatility.

TLDR:

Solana treasury firms show sustained losses, reflecting weak institutional demand and ongoing selling pressure.
The SOL price has slipped below $200, showing limited support after treasury-related weakness extended across the sector.
Ethereum treasury firms are also facing renewed declines as corporate holders begin offloading crypto positions.
Analysts suggest both ecosystems may need treasury-driven buying before seeing any meaningful market recovery.

Solana’s price has slipped below a key support level as treasury-linked companies tied to the ecosystem continue to weaken. 

Crypto analyst Ted (@TedPillows) noted that Solana treasury firms are performing even worse than those tied to Ethereum. His analysis suggests a lack of strong bidding pressure, leaving Solana exposed to more downside. 

The sell-off across treasury-linked firms appears to mirror the same fragility visible in the broader Solana market. Market watchers say Solana may not find momentum until treasury firms start accumulating again.

Solana Treasury Firms Face Deepening Pressure
The chart shared by Ted illustrates heavy selling across Solana-linked treasury companies. 

Forward Industries, Sol Strategies, Sharps Technology, and DeFi Development Corp. all show prolonged declines. Each firm’s stock has been trending lower for months, marked by lower highs and persistent selling activity.

Solana treasury companies are performing even worse than Ethereum treasury companies.

And this is clearly visible in the $SOL chart.

No strong bidding, and Solana has lost its $200 support zone.

I don't see a way for Solana to rally until treasury companies start aggressive… pic.twitter.com/qnMkD3CsbF

— Ted (@TedPillows) October 30, 2025

Sol Strategies, in particular, has fallen sharply below key support levels, echoing Solana’s broader market weakness. The synchronized drop among these companies indicates treasury holdings linked to Solana have been devalued over time. 

Ted observed that this erosion of balance sheet strength is leaving these firms with little room to stabilize.

He explained that Solana’s market structure is being weighed down by the same problem, weak corporate demand. Without renewed buying activity from treasury-linked entities, Solana’s recovery could remain limited. 

SOL price on CoinGecko
At press time, CoinGecko data showed Solana trading at $186.33, down 2.70% over 24 hours and 2.54% for the week.

Ethereum Treasury Firms Also Struggling
Ted also pointed to fresh weakness among Ethereum treasury-linked firms. 

In his post, he said that Ethereum-related treasury companies had started showing new declines after what appeared to be a short-lived recovery. Some have reportedly begun selling holdings, creating further pressure across the group.

According to Ted, the only path for a sustained Ethereum recovery is through renewed strength from treasury companies. The situation reflects a broader cooling across corporate balance sheets exposed to both Solana and Ethereum. 

Ethereum treasury companies' bottom is not in yet.

Last week, it looked like they had bottomed out, but now they're going down again.

One reason behind this is that some treasury companies have started to sell their holdings, which is a massive red signal.

As I have said… pic.twitter.com/a70TkEpNg5

— Ted (@TedPillows) October 30, 2025

Analysts say the lack of institutional accumulation is becoming more visible across token price charts. 

For Solana, the next strong rally could depend on whether these companies start buying again. Until then, traders may see continued range-bound movement in SOL.

Nordea announced in 2018 that it would ban employees from buying and holding Bitcoin due to concerns that the crypto market was unregulated.

Scandinavia’s largest bank, Nordea, has shifted its stance on crypto in the face of growing adoption and regulatory clarity, announcing its customers can access an external Bitcoin-linked exchange-traded product (ETP) in December. 

The Bitcoin ETP, developed by digital asset investment firm CoinShares, holds Bitcoin (BTC) as its underlying asset, Nordea stated on Thursday. 

The ETP will only be offered as an “execution-only offering, meaning that customers can buy this product, but Nordea does not offer advice on it,” the bank added.

Nordea has over $286 billion in assets under management, according to its half-year results released in July, along with an estimated customer base of over 10 million people.  

Regulations are a key factor in the Bitcoin backflip In 2018, Nordea announced it was banning its employees from buying and holding Bitcoin over concerns the crypto market was unregulated, and it has stated in subsequent earnings reports that it has “no risk appetite or direct exposure to virtual currencies.” 

The change of heart has resulted directly from growing regulations and market maturity, the bank said, citing the European Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) as a specific example. 

“Nordea has closely monitored trends in cryptocurrencies but maintained a cautious approach due to the unregulated nature of crypto-assets and the lack of investor protection and authority supervision that dominated the emergence of digital currencies,” Nordea said. 

“Against this background, Nordea remains open-minded to offering products and services to meet our customers’ needs as the environment matures.” Demand is a key consideration too Along with regulations, Nordea said that demand for cryptocurrencies is growing across the Nordics and was another reason for its decision. 

“The market for crypto-related investment products, especially exchange-traded products, with a cryptocurrency as the underlying asset, has grown rapidly in Europe as institutional and retail investors seek to gain exposure to digital assets within established financial markets.” Crypto ownership across the Nordic regions, which includes Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, is sitting at around 2.1 million people out of an estimated population of over 28 million, according to digital asset company K33’s March Nordic crypto adoption survey. 

Ownership of crypto across the Nordic regions has been steadily growing since last year. Source: K33This figure is up from the 1.5 million recorded last year. Around 28% of all respondents also stated that they planned to buy crypto in the next decade, which K33 estimates would increase ownership to 6.4 million people by 2035.

As a swing trader, Brandt is bearish on Bitcoin, according to his most recent social media post

Peter Brandt, one of the most well-known commodities traders, has stated that he has shorted Bitcoin (BTC).

Despite being a long-term holder of the flagship cryptocurrency, Brandt is currently bearish based on the megaphone pattern. 

"No tips. It is brutal. I hate when I have to bisect my brain. It is actually painful. Mostly happens in stocks," Brandt said in a recent social media post. 

Back in August, Brandt stated that there was a 30% chance that Bitcoin had already topped during the current cycle. The prominent trader predicted that BTC would eventually be able to soar all the way to $500,000 by November 2026. 

Bearish "megaphone" pattern Brandt's assessment is based on the bearish megaphone pattern, which is a formation that is a broadening wedge that is characterized by growing price volatility.

In Bitcoin's case, the pattern spotted by Brandt appears to be a broadening top. The upper trendline and the lower trendline are spreading apart, meaning that both the bulls and the bears are becoming more aggressive. 

A daily close below the lower trendline is likely to see a bearish reversal. 

Do others besides me find it a bit awkward intellectually/emotionally when you hold contrary positions in accounts designed to trade different systems/time frames?

— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) October 30, 2025 The cryptocurrency reached a new all-time high of $126,080 on Oct. 6. However, the leading cryptocurrency is now on track to finish this month in the red (which would be the very first October in the red since 2018). 

Earlier today, the cryptocurrency plunged to an intraday low of $106,464, but it has since recovered back above the $110,000 level.

The immediate focus is whether Dogecoin can stabilize above $0.18 and avoid further declines.Updated Oct 31, 2025, 5:22 a.m. Published Oct 31, 2025, 5:22 a.m.

(CoinDesk Data)

What to know: Dogecoin fell 5.5% to $0.1843 after breaking below the key $0.1940 support level due to institutional selling.Trading volume surged by 180%, indicating significant distribution pressure in the crypto market.The immediate focus is whether Dogecoin can stabilize above $0.18 and avoid further declines.Dogecoin broke below key $0.1940 support during Tuesday’s session, sliding 5.5% to $0.1843 as institutional selling overwhelmed buyers. The breakdown came on a sharp 180% volume surge that underscored renewed distribution pressure across the meme coin sector amid risk-off sentiment in broader crypto markets.

News BackgroundDOGE fell from $0.1951 to $0.1843, marking one of its steepest one-day declines this month. The move unfolded within a $0.0174 trading range, equating to 9.4% intraday volatility, as market participants unwound leveraged positions following repeated rejections at overhead resistance.Trading activity spiked to 1.17 billion tokens, nearly 180% above daily averages, as sell-side flows accelerated through midday hours. Volume sustained above 995 million for several hours, confirming institutional-scale liquidation. Price briefly stabilized near $0.1765, where dip-buying attempts appeared but failed to reverse momentum.The session’s weakness mirrored broader softness across speculative digital assets, though Dogecoin’s 43% year-to-date gain still leaves it among 2025’s stronger major-cap performers. The immediate concern now centers on whether bulls can reassert control following significant technical damage to near-term structure.Price Action SummaryThe breakdown sequence began early Tuesday as DOGE breached $0.1940, a key level that had repeatedly served as a short-term floor in October sessions.Institutional orders hit the market in clusters, driving volumes far above statistical norms and producing a cascade toward $0.1840 intraday.Following a brief recovery attempt, DOGE settled into a narrow $0.1850–$0.1860 range, suggesting stabilization but not confirmation of support.Momentum indicators showed pronounced bearish divergence, with RSI falling toward oversold readings on both hourly and four-hour charts. Meanwhile, futures open interest dipped marginally, indicating some deleveraging among speculative traders.Technical AnalysisDOGE’s technical profile remains fragile following the loss of $0.1940 support. The price pattern has now completed a fifth wave within a corrective sequence, implying that near-term exhaustion could precede an eventual base formation near $0.1840–$0.1765.Volume data reinforces that large participants drove the move: daily turnover eclipsed 1.17B tokens, confirming institutional distribution. The selloff has reduced DOGE’s liquidity footprint, with aggregate daily flows dropping from $20B earlier in October to roughly $5B, a dynamic that limits breakout potential until new demand enters the market.Resistance now aligns around $0.1950, with a more significant supply cluster near $0.218, identified by analysts as the key battleground for bulls attempting to reclaim higher trend structure.What Traders Should WatchTraders are monitoring whether DOGE can hold above the $0.1840 base and avoid a retest of the $0.1765 level that defines short-term structural integrity.A sustained reclaim above $0.1950 would neutralize immediate bearish bias, but continued weakness below this threshold keeps downside targets active.For now, the setup favors cautious positioning as traders await confirmation that selling pressure has exhausted near current supports.More For You

TLDR:Chainlink’s Oracle Network to Secure Ondo Tokenized StocksDriving Financial Institutions Onchain with CCIP Integration

Ondo Finance selected Chainlink as the oracle for pricing its regulated tokenized stocks and ETFs.
The partnership integrates Chainlink’s CCIP as the cross-chain solution for financial institutions.
Chainlink joined Ondo’s Global Market Alliance supporting tokenized assets worth over $300 million.
The integration will enable real-time equity pricing and expand onchain capital markets access.

Chainlink has entered a new phase of institutional adoption. Ondo Finance, a key player in real-world asset tokenization, has selected Chainlink as its official oracle provider for its regulated tokenized stocks platform. 

The partnership aims to establish a trusted foundation for bringing traditional assets onchain. Through Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Ondo will link traditional financial institutions with DeFi networks. 

Chainlink’s Oracle Network to Secure Ondo Tokenized Stocks
Ondo Finance confirmed that its tokenized equities and ETFs will be powered by Chainlink’s institutional-grade data feeds. 

The setup allows accurate and secure pricing for over 100 tokenized assets currently listed on Ondo Global Markets. These price feeds capture corporate actions, including dividends and adjustments, ensuring real-time valuation directly onchain.

According to the press release, the integration makes Chainlink’s data standard central to Ondo’s tokenized stocks. 

The platform’s assets, valued at over $300 million in total value locked (TVL), now gain access to verified, multi-chain data inputs. This structure reduces dependency on offchain systems while improving transparency for institutions adopting DeFi infrastructure.

Chainlink’s collaboration provides Ondo’s ecosystem with interoperability and resilience across multiple blockchains. Each feed delivers custom price data, enabling DeFi protocols to use Ondo’s tokenized assets in lending, yield, and collateral products. 

Ondo’s CEO Nathan Allman stated that the partnership brings DeFi and traditional finance closer, supporting onchain composability for institutional users.

Driving Financial Institutions Onchain with CCIP Integration
Ondo and Chainlink plan to accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized assets by making CCIP the preferred interoperability framework. 

The joint effort targets major financial institutions exploring blockchain for asset management, settlement, and cross-chain operations. Ondo’s network already spans 10 blockchains and over 100 integrated applications, positioning it as a major gateway for regulated digital assets.

Chainlink’s participation in the Ondo Global Market Alliance strengthens this ecosystem further. The alliance includes partners from both DeFi and traditional markets, creating a shared framework for secure asset transfer and pricing. 

The collaboration also connects Ondo with Chainlink’s broader corporate actions initiative, which includes participants like Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear.

Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov said the integration reflects how traditional financial instruments can function securely onchain. By linking Chainlink’s data services with Ondo’s tokenized markets, both companies aim to redefine how real-world assets trade and settle in decentralized environments.

TLDR:Growing Demand for Regulated Bitcoin ExposureCoinShares Expands Its Reach Through Nordea PlatformsGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks

Nordea will launch CoinShares-manufactured Bitcoin ETPs in December 2025 for experienced Nordic investors.
The synthetic Bitcoin ETP allows exposure to crypto within regulated financial frameworks.
Nordea’s execution-only platform will offer access without direct investment advice.
The move signals growing confidence in crypto among European banking institutions.

The move that crypto watchers have waited years for is finally happening. 

Nordea, one of the largest banks in the Nordics, is preparing to introduce Bitcoin-linked exchange-traded products in partnership with CoinShares International Limited. 

The new offering will let its customers access Bitcoin exposure directly through Nordea’s trading platforms. This marks a shift for the bank, which has long approached digital assets with caution. 

The products are expected to go live in December 2025, according to a company release.

Growing Demand for Regulated Bitcoin Exposure
For years, Nordea watched the crypto space from the sidelines. Regulatory uncertainty kept large institutions away. But that picture is changing across Europe. Clearer rules and stronger investor protections are drawing traditional banks back into the fold.

According to the release, Nordea decided to move forward as crypto regulation in the EU matured and demand from clients surged. 

The new CoinShares product is a synthetic Bitcoin ETP, designed for experienced investors looking for alternative asset exposure. It will be listed under Nordea’s execution-only trading platform, meaning the bank won’t provide investment advice on it.

ETPs tied to cryptocurrencies have already gained traction across Europe. Investors view them as a bridge between traditional finance and the digital asset market. With Nordea joining in, the Nordic region could see increased institutional participation heading into 2026.

CoinShares Expands Its Reach Through Nordea Platforms
CoinShares, a leading European digital asset manager, will manufacture and manage the Bitcoin ETPs. 

The firm already offers several crypto-based exchange-traded products listed across European exchanges. Partnering with Nordea gives it direct access to one of the largest investor bases in the Nordics.

This collaboration also signals that traditional banks are becoming more comfortable offering crypto-related investment products. It provides clients a path to gain Bitcoin exposure through familiar banking channels rather than offshore or unregulated exchanges.

The partnership reflects a broader shift in the market. As digital asset regulation strengthens, more banks are expected to integrate crypto-linked financial instruments into their offerings. Nordea’s move with CoinShares may well set the tone for other Nordic institutions to follow.

Key Takeaways
Why did the Fed make this shift?
Policymakers hinted at easing inflation, softer labor market conditions, and rising downside risks to economic growth.

How did Nomura react to the Fed’s decision?
Nomura now expects the Fed to keep rates unchanged in December, instead of cutting them again.

The U.S Federal Reserve has officially entered an easing phase.

In a policy move widely anticipated by markets, the central bank lowered interest rates by 25 basis points on 29 October, setting the new federal funds’ target range at 3.75%–4.00%.

Fed rate cuts stir market sentiment
The decision marks the first rate cut since 2023 and comes alongside confirmation that the Fed will end quantitative tightening (QT) by 1 December, drawing a close to its balance-sheet unwind.

The shift also signals a notable recalibration in the Fed’s priorities.

While inflation remains above the 2% target, policymakers highlighted cooling price pressures, softer labor data, and growing risks to economic momentum as key reasons for pivoting toward support, rather than restraint.

Following the announcement, Nomura revised its outlook for the Fed’s next policy move.

The firm now expects the central bank to hold rates steady in December, reversing its earlier projection of an additional 25 basis point cut. 

Nomura and a strategist at 21Shares weigh in
Remarking on the same, Nomura noted, 

“Data are likely to be modestly dovish in the months ahead, but we doubt the weakness will be sufficient to rekindle FOMC concerns of a deteriorating labor market.”

According to Reuters, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has also cautioned that any additional easing this year will not be guaranteed.

He pointed to internal divisions among policymakers and gaps in available economic data as factors that could slow the pace of future cuts. In doing so, he stressed the need to avoid missteps while conditions remain uncertain.

Sharing further insights, Matt Mena, Crypto Research Strategist at 21Shares, said,

“Overall, Bitcoin’s resilience amid macro crosscurrents and aggressive deleveraging underscores how structural demand – anchored by ETF inflows and a more dovish policy outlook – continues to provide a floor.”

He added, 

“With leverage flushed, policy easing approaching, and structural demand accelerating, the setup into year-end appears increasingly constructive for digital assets – setting the stage for a potential move toward $150K Bitcoin as macro tailwinds and institutional flows continue to align.”

What is the market trend suggesting?
Despite the volatility, Bitcoin [BTC] has held its footing, supported by strong structural demand. U.S-listed Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $6 billion in inflows this month, pushing global crypto ETF AUM towards $300 billion.

Potential policy shifts expanding retirement account access, alongside reduced sell pressure from U.S government BTC holdings, further strengthen the long-term backdrop.

However, sentiment is yet to fully reflect these improving fundamentals.

In fact, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index’s reading of 32 indicated that caution remains the norm in the short term – A sign that bullish continuation may take time to materialize.

The new report by Rocket Travel by Agoda and Skift reveals framework for brands to close the loyalty value gap with seamless redemptions and cash spend

, /PRNewswire/ -- As customer expectations rapidly evolve, their perception of traditional loyalty models evolves with it. As a result, many loyalty programs face a widening "value gap" between what members want and what brands deliver, according to a new report co-developed by Skift and Rocket Travel by Agoda - the strategic partnerships arm of digital travel platform Agoda.

Titled 'The Loyalty Value Playbook: Redemption Experience and Cash Spend as the New Benchmarks for Customer Growth', the report offers a practical blueprint to close the loyalty gap. With 77% of consumers now quicker to drop a program than they were three years ago, this underscores how consumers are increasingly prioritizing loyalty on platforms that deliver value through clarity, flexibility, and relevance throughout the customer journey.

Rocket Travel by Agoda has launched a guide to help companies transform failing loyalty programs based on clear metrics. The guide includes six capabilities that focus on getting the most out of loyalty programs by focusing on best practice in redemption, usability, transparency, and exclusivity:

Flexible Commerce Infrastructure: Streamline checkouts with real-time point balances, instant confirmations, and points-plus-cash options to match modern e-commerce standards.
Data and Personalization Engine: Harness guest behavior and AI-driven insights to deliver tailored recommendations, increasing redemption value and booking conversions.
Partner and Inventory Strategy: Expand high-quality room and experience inventory with competitive pricing and exclusive perks like early check-in or late checkout.
Marketing Technology and Customer Journeys: Minimize point breakage with lifecycle messaging and clear value explanations to spur repeat cash bookings.
Governance and Controls: Enforce fair dynamic pricing with transparent rules and advance notices to sustain guest trust and reduce complaints.
Cross-Functional Ways of Working: Unite loyalty, operations, and data teams to optimize metrics like repeat cash bookings and guest lifetime value.

Rocket Travel By Agoda developed the guide to help companies understand why traditional loyalty programs may need to evolve to meet modern guest expectations, risking lost revenue for brands. For instance, according to Antavo's Global Customer Loyalty Report, only around 50% of loyalty points earned are redeemed, while in a report by Cordial, 43% of customers stopped participating because the rewards took too long to earn.

The playbook is grounded in research, case studies, and interviews with industry leaders such as Flying Blue, Citigroup, and Southwest Airlines. It shows how well-crafted loyalty programs drive repeat bookings and cash spend, strengthening guest relationships. By leveraging zero-friction experiences and AI-driven personalization, it empowers travel brands spanning airlines, hotels, and beyond to meet modern traveler demands, in line with Agoda's commitment to making travel more accessible and rewarding.

"The challenge and opportunity for loyalty programs is that expectations haven't shifted from one set of benefits to another, they have expanded. Travelers still want the traditional perks, but they also expect more, making loyalty harder to manage," says Damien Pfirsch, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Rocket Travel at Agoda. "This report equips travel brands with a playbook to rebuild guest trust through clear, flexible, and relevant loyalty experiences, boosting both point redemptions and cash bookings."

"We're seeing a clear shift toward flexible, accessible, and personalized loyalty. Cardmembers are looking for programs that deliver value in everyday life as well as during larger travel moments," says Chris Besendorfer, Managing Director and Head of Citi Travel & Rewards at Citigroup. "The ability to redeem points for travel, experiences, or essentials across multiple categories has never been more important. Customers want choice and ease, and they expect their loyalty programs to reflect how they live and spend."

"Always start with the customer. Ask what they value, and then consider how partnerships can extend that value beyond the core offering into lifestyle benefits, retail, or other parts of the travel journey, added Jonathan Clarkson, Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Southwest Airlines. Brands that do this effectively will be rewarded with greater loyalty because they seek to be relevant in more ways."

Rocket Travel by Agoda leverages its extensive industry expertise to guide partners in crafting loyalty programs that resonate with their audiences, build loyalty, and support sustainable growth. With a clear focus on personalized and flexible offerings, brands can build lasting customer relationships and elevate their market presence. Download the full report here.

FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX:FFM, TSX:FFM, OTC:MNXMF) earlier this week announced further high-grade copper-gold intercepts from its Green Bay project in Canada. The company said the latest drilling has confirmed a continuous high-grade core zone extending for 800.00 metres in strike length and remaining open at depth and along trend.

The company told investors that the high-grade zone measures between 30.00 and 50.00 metres wide. One key intercept returned 43.00 metres at 7.60% copper, including an internal interval of 15.00 metres at 16.00% copper equivalent. It highlighted that the mineralisation contains gold credits, which adds further value to the system.

Firefly said these results follow a series of announcements after a break in activity during the Northern Hemisphere summer. The company confirmed that drilling and assay work has resumed and is progressing rapidly.

The company stated that its focus is now on upgrading its existing indicated resource of 24.00 million tonnes to between 30.00 and 50.00 million tonnes. It said this will support a scoping study that is scheduled for release at the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Firefly said eight drill rigs are currently operating at Green Bay. Six of these are positioned underground for infill drilling, and two are conducting surface exploration. The company added that it is now targeting areas that have never been tested, including extensions down plunge of the current ore body and potential parallel structures to the east and west.

An updated mineral resource estimate is expected by the end of the current quarter. Firefly said a second resource update is also planned in early 2026, ahead of the upcoming scoping study.

Managing Director Steve Parsons said: “This is copper with gold credits. You know, this is pretty impressive.”

The company expects steady news flow as drilling and exploration continues across the project.

Proactive:

Firefly Metals has found more copper in what it’s called a major exploration breakthrough at the Green Bay copper-gold project in Canada. Joining me with all the details this afternoon is the company’s Managing Director, Steve Parsons. Steve, it’s good to see you again. We’ve been seeing you quite often the last couple of weeks with some great and fantastic news. How are you?

Steve Parsons:

Yeah, I'm good, thanks. Exciting stuff happening at Green Bay at the moment.

Proactive:

Investors have definitely taken this the right way. Your share price is up 15% at the time of this recording. What more can you tell us about the copper you found?

Steve Parsons:

Yeah, so there has been a flurry of announcements coming out recently. That’s because we’re now back on board with all the drilling and all the assays coming back after the summer break in the Northern Hemisphere.

These latest drill results — we’ve been putting several out recently — are showing this high-bright zone that we’ve been having with high-grade copper and high-bright gold.

We’ve now confirmed that we do have a very high-grade core zone that’s about 30 to 50 metres wide and now trends for 800 metres in strike length. It continues on past that. We know that because of the deepest hole that we drilled, which we put out recently. It came back with some very high-grade copper and gold.

So, intersections such as 43 metres at 7.6% copper, with an internal zone going at almost 15 metres at 16% copper equivalent. And remember, this is copper with gold credits. This is pretty impressive — over 800 metres of strike — and it’s completely open as well.

Proactive:

Steve, you’ve also announced to the market that you are set to continue drilling to establish the full extent of this core unit and then feed those results into an updated MRE. We’re expecting that later in the quarter, as I understood. What are you betting on from this updated MRE? And what can investors expect in the coming weeks?

Steve Parsons:

Yeah, so we’ll be updating the market this quarter — sometime leading up to the December break. We're getting these last drill results in.

The real focus since the last resource update 12 months ago has been getting the measured and indicated category expanded — focusing on the infill drilling. That will help get the resource in the indicated category from 24.00 million tonnes up to around 30.00, 40.00, or 50.00 million tonnes — ready for the study.

That study, the PFS or scoping study, will be coming out at the end of the first quarter next year. That’s really important for us to get ready. It allows us to show long mine life and high grades coming out in the study.

Having said that, don’t stop watching, because drill rigs will continue to turn. There are currently eight drill rigs on site — six of them underground. They’re going to carry on drilling. We expect another resource upgrade coming out at the end of the first quarter next year, ready for that study.

There’s going to be discovery and exploration drilling happening around the surface. There are two rigs turning there. And watch this space, because again — we’ve never drilled underneath this ore body, there’s drilling down plunge of the ore body, down onto this 800 metres of high-grade component, and we’ve never drilled for parallel structures either — to the west and east.

So, plenty going on and hopefully lots of news flow over the coming weeks and months.

Proactive:

Quite a fruitful period, to say the least, at Green Bay. This was Firefly Metals' Managing Director Steve Parsons. We'll look forward to having you on board in the coming weeks for more updates. Thank you.

Steve Parsons:

Thank you.
