ZKZK (Zero-Knowledge Proof) technology is recognized as the ultimate form of L2. However, despite its technical superiority, it cannot hide a harsh reality: after token issuance, the value capture of tokens has almost entirely collapsed.
Comparing these three projects:
$STRK: A ZK veteran with strong technology, but on-chain revenue has dropped to a monthly average of $28,000 to $48,000. The token is mainly used for governance and staking. Recently, 25 million STRK tokens have flowed back into the ecosystem, but this is an ecosystem incentive rather than a direct buyback and burn. With massive unlocking, the price remains under long-term pressure, relying more on new narratives like "quantum resistance" to maintain attention.
$ZK: The founder proposed using all network revenue to buy back and burn ZK tokens, which is the right direction, but this mechanism has not yet become a verifiable, sustainable on-chain execution record. Until the proposal is fully implemented and generates substantial buy pressure, the token's value capture remains in a "transitional state."
$POL: Also part of the ZK family, but with clearer mechanism actions. Polygon has deployed a burn contract, with an initial one-time burn of 100 million POL tokens. Thereafter, the community can trigger burns quarterly, and since January 2026, POL has been in a deflationary state. Although the burn is actively managed rather than fully automatic, the supply contraction execution path is much clearer than pure governance tokens.
Summary:
STRK is "very low income, empowerment indirectly transmitted through ecosystem incentives"; ZK is "buyback proposal pending implementation, execution record pending verification"; POL is "burning is underway but manually triggered." 热榜还写350亿美元，Meta这轮发行已经加码。现在该问的，不只是能融多少钱，而是AI业务要多创造多少回报，才能让股东觉得划算。 按Barchart转载的Meta定价通稿，普通股发行从225亿美元提高至250亿美元，公开发行价每股625美元，配合远期出售协议；另一项是125亿美元、代表强制可转换优先股权益的存托股份。基础规模合计约375亿美元，不含承销商额外购买选项。 625美元是本次发行价，不是文章发布时的实时股价，更不是未来股价的保底线。两项发行预计10月29日完成，仍以交割条件满足为前提。今天不能直接写成资金已全部到账。 尤其是普通股这部分，公司仍预计起初不会从远期购买方的出售中收到款项，而在未来结算远期协议时取得资金。发行完成和公司最终收到相应款项，不能合并成同一个时间点。 资金也有成本。优先股的累积股息年率为6.50%，支付受具体条款和董事会宣告等条件约束，可以现金或符合条件的股份支付；未来转换还关系到普通股数量。它不是一笔无成本的AI预算，也不能简单当成普通债券利息。 我的判断：融资扩大，说明公司增加了资金安排，但这本身不能证明AI投入一定划算。接下来应把资本开支、经营现金Anthropic is rushing its IPO, and everyone is asking how high the valuation can be. I want to look at another matter first: if you buy common stock in the future, how much control will you actually have over the company? The company announcement confirmed that it has submitted an S-1, plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, but the number of shares issued and the price range have not yet been determined. This discussion is about the proposed listing structure and should not be understood as the company already being publicly traded. The SEC filing submitted on October 26 begins with a very special governance arrangement. The proposed Class A common stock will have one vote per share; however, the Long-Term Benefit Trust (LTBT) holds Class T shares, which typically have the right to elect and remove Class T directors, who will hold the majority of the authorized seats on the board. The Class T shares themselves have no economic rights. On the other hand, the founder entity plans to hold one Class F share, which carries voting power equivalent to 50.1% of the total votes cast by shareholders on all matters, including the election of non-T directors. This Class F share also has no economic rights. The 50.1% voting power should not be misinterpreted as the founders owning 50.1% of the company's economic interests. This means that economic benefits distribution, voting participation, and board composition decisions are three separate matters that need to be understood independently. Class A shares do have voting rights, but "one share, one vote" does not mean public shareholders can dominate the company's direction. My judgment: beyond valuation, governance arrangements should also be part of investors' evaluation. As a public-benefit company, Anthropic needs to balance shareholder interests, the interests of those affected by its actions, and its specific public-benefit mission. This does not automatically equate to poor returns Order Book Strength Ranking
5-minute median slippage, estimated by order book
$AKE Large buy order cost decreased, small buy orders almost unchanged. Simulated slippage for a 100,000 scale buy dropped from 1.54% to 1.39%. A 10,000 buy still around 0.18%. Order size can be increased, but still verified with the 100,000 level.
$IRYS After enlarging orders, slippage on both entry and exit sides increased significantly. Simulated slippage for 10,000 scale buy/sell is 0.13%/0.17%, and for 100,000 is 1.09%/0.83%. The sign of thin depth is synchronous rise on both sides.
$BTW Large buy order cost increased, small buy orders almost unchanged. Simulated slippage for a 100,000 scale buy rose from 0.56% to 0.69%. A 10,000 buy still about 0.11%. Depth is deteriorating, and similarly, the same order size is more expensive.Robinhood's Q3 report is out: revenue hit a record high, but earnings per share fell 16% year-over-year. Growth hasn't disappeared; the issue is how much of that growth ultimately benefits shareholders. The company's financial report released on October 27 (Eastern Time) shows Q3 net revenue of $1.424 billion, up 12% year-over-year; trading revenue was $867 million, up 19%. However, net profit attributable to Robinhood was $468 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.51, compared to $0.61 in the same period last year. First, let's see who is making money. Options revenue was $399 million, up 31% year-over-year; event contract revenue was $173 million, more than six times that of the same period last year. Conversely, crypto revenue was only $120 million, down 55% year-over-year. Therefore, "trading business growth" does not mean every segment is growing, and crypto trading volume cannot directly substitute for the company's crypto revenue. Next, why didn't profits keep pace? Total operating expenses grew 16% year-over-year, faster than revenue growth; the company mentioned credit loss provisions from credit card business expansion, as well as investments in new businesses and growth. Additionally, this quarter's net profit includes about $67 million in unrealized losses, mainly from revaluation of the market value of its investment funds. These paper losses do not represent cash already paid out. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.60, still down 3% year-over-year. This is a new non-GAAP metric introduced by the company this quarter, which can help break down the impacts but cannot replace the $0.51 figure to claim comprehensive profit improvement. My$BTC is slowly moving up around 80,824.4, with 24h short positions liquidated at 9.15 million USD, while long positions only 5.95 million USD, meaning the main losers are those chasing shorts. Sino-British trade contacts are just background noise for the coin price; without capital or policy implementation, the transmission chain is very long. What supports the price is the internal market structure: options open interest put/call ratio is 0.77, trading put/call ratio is 0.69, with bullish positions and trades dominating; DVOL is 37.5, indicating no one is willing to pay extra for large volatility. Contract open interest is 7.72 billion USD, the latest funding rate is 0.0054%, leverage is not crowded, and longs are not overheated. My judgment is that the short term will continue to operate in the upper half of the range, with a chance to test 81,270.6 again. The condition to turn bearish: price breaks below 79,468.3, while trading put/call rises above 0.77 and DVOL increases, indicating option funds start shifting to defense, at which point the bullish view is invalid.Negotiations are hopeful, and oil prices can fall first; but for refineries to actually get cheaper oil, transportation and costs need to improve together. The news about Hormuz is the easiest to misinterpret as "expectations improving" being "the problem is already solved." Barchart's pre-market report on October 27 linked WTI weakness to hopes for US-Iran diplomatic easing and mentioned regional officials visiting Tehran for talks, with discussions continuing. This was the market report at that time and should not be taken as real-time pricing on October 28, nor should it be used to assert that an opening agreement has been reached. The discussion of "phased opening" is not new today either. Reuters reported on September 24 about the idea of phased progress with measures like restoring Hormuz navigation and lifting blockades, with one difficulty being who makes the first concession. The October 28 Discovery Alert analysis still lists the order of actions and mutual trust as obstacles. Therefore, revisiting old plans and signing and implementing new agreements by both sides should be viewed separately. My judgment: the news first affects risk premiums; truly lowering transportation costs still requires passing three hurdles. First, check if verifiable measures and implementation timelines exist; then see if commercial vessels can pass safely and consistently, not just occasionally; finally, see if insurance, waiting times, and freight rates improve simultaneously. For readers focused on US stocks and inflation, the third step is especially critical. A drop in oil price quotes does not necessarily immediately translate into lower corporate procurement costs; logistics recovery may also require shipowners and insurers to reassess risks. If formal measures begin execution, navigation continues to recover, and transportation costs followSK Hynix has already submitted its report, and the "Earnings Report Coming Soon" on the trending list can be updated. The most striking figure is an 80% operating profit margin, but attributing the entire performance solely to HBM4 would miss important details. The company disclosed on October 28 that Q3 revenue was 104.6155 trillion KRW, and operating profit was 83.3338 trillion KRW, representing a 32% and 38% quarter-on-quarter increase respectively; the officially announced operating profit margin is 80%. This is based on operating profit, not net profit margin. HBM4 is indeed starting to deliver: the company stated that HBM4 shipments officially began this quarter, with expanded sales of high value-added products. However, the same announcement also clearly mentioned a significant increase in server DDR5 sales and continued growth in high-end solid-state drive business for data centers. Product pricing and sales mix jointly affect profitability, and the announcement did not break down all profits into a single HBM4 contribution statement. What deserves more attention is Q4. The company expects HBM4 shipments and revenue to exceed those of HBM3E and plans to increase M15X capacity to its maximum level by the end of the year. This is management's expectation for the future, not sales already completed. Long-term orders also provide clues: the company said it has signed long-term agreements with 14 major customers, corresponding to more than half of total capacity for 2027 and 2028. However, locking in production volume does not mean locking in all prices; the pricing mechanism in the agreements will still reflect market conditions. My judgment: this earnings report proves that AI memory demand is already reflected in operating results; next, we need to see whether HBM4 can take over as expected and how profit margins will look after capacity expansion and continuation#Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？
Wall Street consensus looks like a joke: revenue significantly exceeded expectations, but EPS fell far short, a precise strike hitting a single point, breaking defenses today.
Expectations were too high: before the earnings report, HOOD stock price stayed near the high level of $105 (Wall Street consensus median target price between $113–$122). The market originally expected strong US stock options trading to fully fill the Crypto gap and achieve a revenue beat, but the final $1.424 billion revenue was still about $26.5 million less than consensus expectations.
Rising expenses and bad debt provisions: with the expansion of credit card loan scale, credit loss provisions increased, combined with prior investments in Trump Accounts and Rothera, total operating expenses rose 16% year-over-year.
Introduction of new Non-GAAP metric triggers scrutiny: the company introduced Adjusted EPS ($0.60) this quarter for the first time to exclude a $67 million mark-to-market unrealized loss from its primary market venture capital fund. Some institutional investors remain cautious about the 14% decline in GAAP net profit.Federal Reserve decision: Don’t just focus on whether they raise rates; these four "death spells" are the real threat
Lords, the Federal Reserve decision has landed. The market bets over 89% on no change, seems like no drama? Let me tell you, the interest rate is the obvious card, but the real killer knives are hidden behind.
First, look at the statement wording. Removing or altering words like "timely return"—a single word difference causes a bloodbath between bulls and bears.
Second, look at the dot plot. Since Walsh took office, forward guidance has been consistently weakened; if this continues, the market will be left guessing blindly. A night road without a map is scarier than one full of pits.
Third, look at the press conference. Last time the market read it as dovish, but Walsh’s words crushed risk assets. If tonight he insists on "insufficient restrictiveness," December rate hike expectations will reignite, and the crypto world will take another hit.
Fourth, look at the voting pattern. Dissenting votes are more honest than the decision itself. Two hawkish dissenters mean it’s just a delay tactic; three or more basically lock in a December rate hike.
For $BTC and $ETH, funds have already proactively reduced risk exposure before the decision, hovering around the 80,000 mark. The real market move isn’t tonight, but "what to do in December." Don’t treat the decision like a lottery draw; treat it as a road sign. Misreading the road sign means the faster you run, the worse you die. $BTC $ETH
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Chasing the high right after the financing news? First, clarify whose 63 billion it is.
Here's what I see: Bank of America, Blackstone, Citibank, and Morgan Stanley announced about $63 billion in financing to purchase Broadcom AI accelerators and network equipment, which will then be leased to Anthropic, with delivery expected from 2027. Broadcom itself didn't pay cash upfront; they provided a residual value support (covering hardware depreciation risk). On Tuesday, the stock closed at $342.33 (+4.00%), with a daily high of $345.67 and a low of $336.87; chip stocks like AMD and Micron also rose.
My view: This is a relief from the anxiety of "who will foot the AI bill," not profits already in hand this quarter; treating the lease arrangement as a cash-in to chase is the easiest way to get cut.
Today also includes the Federal Reserve decision and after-hours earnings from Alphabet/Microsoft, so chip sentiment can turn at any time.
What I do: Stand firm and observe, not chasing this wave of financing narrative; if it breaks below the daily low of $336.87 and fails to recover, consider this round of "financing-driven positive" invalid.
Wait for the interest rate statement and tonight's big tech earnings to digest before deciding whether to change stance.
Would you take "bank funding and chipmaker residual value support" as a buying point, or first treat it as a signal to observe?
$AVGO $AMD $NVDA
#Broadcom63BFinancingAnthropic #ChipStockRebound #AnthropicIPOApplicationMaySetValuationRecord I don't play with high leverage; when I see a sharp drop, I first get used to identifying where the risks lie. Datavault AI's stock price plummeted nearly 50%, and the company stated that starting from June 2026, it will no longer be able to withdraw the BTC stored with Biconomy. These coins were previously recorded in its wallet through off-chain transfers.
My judgment is that this is a risk alert for corporate coin holding management, not evidence of a long-term deterioration in Bitcoin's value. Off-chain accounting does not mean the funds can be mobilized at any time; withdrawal obstacles may disrupt the company's financial arrangements. The stock also reflects the market's evaluation of the company's management capabilities, so the drop should not be directly attributed to $BTC. As for me, I hold and do not move, but long-term holding does not exempt one from scrutinizing custody risks.
Leverage easily amplifies sudden risks; there's no need to challenge your own tolerance. For friends holding long-term, this incident may reduce your confidence in the coin accumulation model of listed companies, or will you evaluate each company individually?2026.10.28
Last night staged a grand drama of capital plunder, with Brazil, the largest country in South America, seeing its stock index futures plunge 15%, triggering a circuit breaker! Meanwhile, the US stock market was broadly rising. One side was being drained madly to keep the other alive. In fact, it’s not just Brazil that’s falling, but many governments being slowly "disemboweled" by a dull knife. The most dangerous market structure currently is not the absolute level of leverage being too high, but the "quiet and stubborn crowding." The long ratio remains at the 98th percentile (LSR 2.2798), but the funding rate score is only neutral. Long positions are crowded, yet holders are not paying a significant premium — this provides asymmetric fuel for liquidation, just not yet triggered. Bitcoin funding rate is about 0.0067%/8h, annualized about 7%, far from the extreme crowding threshold of 0.03% (annualized 33%). Therefore, leverage itself is not extreme, but the position direction is highly concentrated. Once key support is broken, the chain reaction of forced liquidations could amplify the drop. Federal Reserve interest rate decision. Futures market pricing maintains about a 90% probability of no rate change. The rate itself is not the risk; the policy tone (hawkish/dovish) is. Plus, with AI-driven tech stocks recently abandoned, this can transmit through cross-asset channels to the crypto market.
Bitcoin: Currently still in a bottoming process. Before a volume breakout above 82,000, maintain a strategy of high shorts and low longs. Note: there is a divergence between spot and futures. Spot CVD is still negative (-5.3K) but has rebounded from -7.5K, showing real buying at low levels; futures CVD is -21.6K and continuing downward, indicating leverage selling pressure is still releasing. Meanwhile, retail and large investors’ behavior is seriously diverging: the account long-short ratio is as high as 2.39 and still rising, with many retail investors holding longs, and new shorts actively entering, rather than longs adding positions.
Support: 79,600-79,800, 78,500-79,000
Resistance: 81,000, 81,828, 82,200
Ethereum: Before a volume breakout above 2,400, any counterattack is seen as a rebound, not a reversal. Maintain a primary logic of high shorts and low longs. Currently in a downtrend structure, price is below EMA30, with EMA60 near 2,384 forming a second resistance. On the 4-hour level, after the 2,281 low, a TD Sequential buy setup 1 appeared, MACD formed a golden cross below zero line, and green bars turned red, showing momentum for an oversold rebound is accumulating. The issue is the sustainability of the rebound depends on whether it can effectively break through the 2,370 resistance. If it can close above 2,370 with increasing volume and further reclaim 2,400, the short-term bearish structure will weaken, and the strategy should shift from "shorting the rebound" to "buying the dip"; before that, buying is better defined as a short-term trade against the daily trend.
Support: 2,333, 2,300-2,309
Resistance: 2,355, 2,370, 2,384, 2,400Just after 2 a.m., I originally wanted to go to the bathroom and then go back to sleep, but I casually opened OKX contract data, and I instantly woke up. Don't be fooled by the sideways movement these past few days—under the appearance of volatility contraction, leverage is stacking to the limit in the same direction. $BTC is currently priced at 80519, hovering around the 80,000 mark, with the 4-hour long-short ratio already surged to 2.38, and open interest stubbornly refusing to drop. Everyone treats 80,000 as a solid bottom, with buy orders layered and ambushed below. With such heavy positions, why would the main force carry the burden for you? Looking at $ETH at 2345, the previous low has already been broken once, but the rebound is weak and feeble. Strangely, open interest has surged dramatically, and the long-short ratio is as high as 2.44—buying more as it falls, retail leverage stacking thicker and thicker. Just a little external pressure will trigger a bloody chain of forced liquidations. $SOL at 100.77 is stuck tightly at the 100 integer level, the 4-hour long-short ratio has soared to 3.16, and the funding rate remains positive, with longs lining up to pay fees to hold positions. Once this thin barrier breaks, the consequences are unimaginable. My judgment is straightforward: with bullish sentiment so crowded, once liquidity enters, it’s easy to trigger a one-sided shakeout. The most typical outcome of this structure is a two-way fight—first sweeping away the long positions piled below, then reversing to harvest the short positions chasing the market. Anyway, I firmly refuse to hold positions and just watch the show. The real confirmation signal worth watching is not the price itself, but whether open interest can be digested during the sideways movement and whether the funding rate turns from positive to negative. Until then, sideways movement is not stability; it’s leverage holding its breath. 🫧 #OctFOMCDecisionThisWe Last week, a16z Crypto officially renamed itself a16z Frontier, expanding its investment scope from the crypto industry to a broader frontier technology field. However, the firm stated it will continue to invest in crypto projects. Similar changes are not isolated cases; since the beginning of this year, crypto investment firms like Paradigm and Framework have successively broadened their investment scope to include AI, robotics, fintech, and other areas. Capital that once firmly bet on the crypto industry is now turning its attention to a wider market. This inevitably raises the question: has the golden age of crypto entrepreneurship ended? I believe that if the so-called golden age refers to an era when a new concept or a token economic model could attract massive funds and rapidly boost valuations, then that phase is indeed passing. But if one thinks the crypto industry no longer offers worthwhile entrepreneurial opportunities, that would be overly pessimistic. What has truly changed is the logic of capital investment and the market's demands on projects. In recent years, the biggest attraction of the crypto industry to entrepreneurs has been its relatively unique financing mechanism. By issuing tokens, projects can obtain funds and liquidity in advance, and when market sentiment is high, even if the product is not yet mature, it can still achieve a good valuation based on future expectations. The problem is that as more projects adopt similar models, the market finds it difficult to continue paying for homogeneous products. When the market is good, these issues are easily masked by rising token prices, but once the market cools, whether projects can sustain operations becomesThe crypto tape is splitting into two markets, and the divergence is becoming harder to dismiss as noise. $BTC is trading near $79,940, back below the $80,000 line after a session range of $79,338 to $80,673. $ETH sits around $2,319, still unable to reclaim $2,340. Yet $ZEC is changing hands near $1,231, having run from $1,178 to $1,265 in the same window, outpacing both majors by a wide margin. That gap tells a story about where capital is actually going. The external backdrop was constructive:I noticed that Solflare's staking service provider experienced a security incident involving validator node keys, which is still under investigation; node rewards are paused, but users' delegated $SOL is controlled by their own keys, so funds are unaffected.
This is somewhat interesting, but I judge it as more of an emotional negative rather than actual fund theft. If panic spreads, high-volatility small coins might be mistakenly sold off, and there is also a risk of misinterpreting sentiment.
I will monitor the investigation progress to distinguish between node failures and ecosystem risks. Which sectors have you all been paying attention to recently, and will they be affected by this kind of news?👀The interest rate meeting at 2 a.m. Beijing time on the 29th is basically set not to raise rates; the real question is whether there will be a hike in December.
The Federal Reserve just raised rates once in September, and the current rate is 3.75%–4.00%. According to futures prices, the probability of no change this time is about 90%, but the probability that rates will be higher than now in December is about 82%, with about 74% for just one 25 basis point hike (1 basis point = 0.01%).
A common misunderstanding is "no rate hike = positive news." In fact, no rate hike has long been priced in, so the crypto price won't gain extra buying pressure because of it.
There are two factors that can truly change expectations.
First, how many people vote for an immediate rate hike. Rabobank expects Hammack, Kashkari, and Logan to vote against, as they did in July. If there are 3 dissenting votes, it indicates more internal urgency, and a December hike is basically confirmed.
Second, what Chairman Warsh says about December during the press conference. If he does not rule out a December hike, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will likely stay near 5%; if he emphasizes "watching the data, no rush," the probability of a December hike will fall, giving risk assets some breathing room.
Additionally, at 8:30 p.m. on the 29th, Q3 GDP and September PCE (the Fed's most watched inflation indicator) will be released. September CPI year-on-year has already reached 3.7%. If PCE exceeds expectations again, the tone just set at the meeting could be overturned within a day.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC To start with the conclusion: I’m not very confident that tonight’s interest rate decision will lead to a "positive news landing and then a takeoff." I reviewed the first six interest rate decision days this year, looking from the opening on the decision day to the close on the third day. BTC fell 4 times, ETH also 4 times, and SOL was even more extreme, falling 5 times out of 6. The only decent rally was in September, when all three coins rose together, with SOL up 16% in three days. The other times were basically "news comes out, price goes down." Of course, six samples are pitifully few, so taking this as a rule would be naive. But it at least shows one thing: the interest rate decision itself is not positive news; the market cares about the expectation gap. Looking at the current market: BTC daily closes around 80,774, pressured below the 20-day and 60-day moving averages, price hugging the lower Bollinger Band, RSI at 44.9, MACD still moving downward below the zero line. To put it bluntly, it’s weak but not collapsed yet. ETH and SOL are more interesting. ETH’s 4-hour Bollinger Band lower band is right around 2300, a level tested several times this week. SOL is only 1.4% away from 100, also a line everyone is watching. What really makes me hesitate is the positions. The long-short account ratios are BTC 1.88, ETH 2.13, SOL 2.91, meaning long accounts are 2 to 3 times the short ones, with SOL the most crowded. The funding rates for all three are around 0.01%. When bulls cluster, if the news is slightly below expectations, the bulls are usually the first to be shaken out. So my view tonight is: if the result matches expectations, the probability is high #Off-exchange leverage What a pity, this teacher took a loan of 400,000 to buy meme coins and altcoins that halved in value. If he had used it to accumulate BTC, it would have been much better. Buying hyperliquid:native is also not bad. I woke up and checked my HYPE holdings, and surprisingly, they have nearly 10% unrealized gains...
Leverage, if you find a profitable strategy, it accelerates making money; otherwise, it accelerates losing money.
Off-exchange leverage has no risk of liquidation on the exchange. Since you have already added off-exchange leverage, you should choose an extremely conservative strategy on the exchange. My advice is to go all-in on BTC; there is no better choice. We still need to respect risk and remain humble about things beyond our understanding. Of course, back in 1994, I also took loans to buy many altcoins, but now altcoins on the main chain of US stock blockchain are no longer a universal dividend; it is extremely fragmented. Only a few altcoins might perform well and survive. In these two cycles, almost no altcoin has outperformed BTC, not even the altcoin leader Ethereum. The industry environment has changed drastically. Buying the wrong altcoins this cycle is not just losing money; it is annihilation, with no chance of recovery.Does stopping inflation equal good news? Osmosis's move isn't that simple.
The Cosmos ecosystem's leading DEX Osmosis passed Proposal No. 1053 with a 91.07% approval rate. OSMO will stop new minting, and staking rewards will be fully supported by protocol revenue, including transaction fees and taker fees. This cuts off the old path of subsidizing LPs and stakers through inflation.
The disappearance of new selling pressure is clearly bullish, but since rewards are now paid by real income, staking yields will fluctuate with trading volume. The logic of retaining users with high APR no longer holds. The valuation anchor shifts from "inflation rate" to "protocol fee revenue." Whether fees can continuously cover rewards and whether trading volume can be maintained are key to whether OSMO can develop an independent market trend.
Observation 1: Changes in actual protocol revenue over the next few cycles; Observation 2: The volatility range of staking APR.
Are you more concerned about the disappearance of new selling pressure or that rewards are now paid by income?
Source: Wu Shuo💻 I treat this message as a code review: The input is Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launching a tokenized Nasdaq-100 fund on Stellar, targeting eligible non-US investors, providing exposure to the Nasdaq 100 index.
My judgment: This is a concrete step in institutional tokenization business expansion, but it should not be directly translated as a positive impact on public chain coin prices. The demand is reasonable, but the delivery quality still depends on how the fund operates; the system’s success cannot be declared just because the interface is online.
Logically, traditional index exposure now has an on-chain carrier, giving those who want to allocate traditional assets on-chain more options. However, "eligible" is a permission check, not all wallets can directly access it; for ordinary users, eligibility might affect experience even more than operational convenience.
The potential bug lies in the connection between assets and tokens. I would focus on checking subscription and redemption rules, fees, custody, and transfer restrictions. Being recorded on-chain does not mean the underlying assets can be redeemed at any time; if these links are unclear, tokenization might just be a frontend change, which is my concern.
If I were to make changes, I would first put the admission criteria, fees, and redemption process in a prominent position before discussing the on-chain experience. Please help me review: For this type of product, should admission, redemption, or circulation be solved first? I put "usability" before "on-chain"—are there any loopholes in this?Brothers, the FOMC decision lands tomorrow night. Don’t rush to bet on the direction yet; first, see who lets go first.
$BTC: Range-bound between 79,400-80,800. Support at 79,400-79,600, obvious selling pressure at 80,500-80,800. ETF net outflow of $772 million over two days; institutions proactively reducing risk before the event—not a panic selloff, just unwilling to bet. If 79,400 holds, consolidation continues; if hawkish tone combines with rising oil prices, the 77K PUT defense line will be targeted.
$ETH: 2,313 is key. The ascending trendline at 2,350 has been broken; funding rate dropped 56% in 24 hours; whales turning bearish. Below 2,313, over $670 million in leveraged longs are clustered, with high liquidation density. Technical expectations disappointed combined with four weeks of ETF outflows, increasing downside momentum for ETH.
Strategy in one sentence: Don’t chase longs or bottom-fish before the FOMC. Watch BTC at 79,400 and ETH at 2,313. A hawkish pause will first wash out leverage, delaying directional moves; a dovish tone combined with ETF inflows will make rebounds more credible, but still not the bull market starting gun.

At 09:10 this morning, OKX's SUI spot price was $0.9298, up about 1.27% from the platform's rolling 24-hour starting point. When the price rises, the app's phrase "no gas fees" can easily mislead people into thinking that on-chain transactions no longer require SUI.
Sui's sponsored transactions address who pays: users do not need to hold SUI in advance; the sponsor provides the SUI objects to pay the fees. The fees still exist, but they are transferred from the user's account to the sponsor's budget. The app lowers the usage threshold, but the network does not magically eliminate computation and storage costs.
Paying does not mean replacing the user's decision on how assets move. According to official documentation, sponsored transactions require both the user and the sponsor to jointly sign the complete transaction data, including the fee data in the signature scope. Who pays the fee and who initiates what operation are two things that need to be understood separately.
Risks lie in the execution phase: if the transaction is submitted by the sponsor, the other party may delay or not broadcast it; reusing the same object version may also cause the transaction to be rejected. The "free" interface promise cannot replace verifying the transaction content, signature scope, and actual execution results, nor is it a guarantee of asset security.

For informational purposes only, not investment advice.If I were to write a strategy, I would add a rule: if the same internal wallet can create and arbitrate some prediction markets, then treat these markets as one group of permission risks rather than independent events. I haven't fully grasped quantitative analysis yet, but I'm increasingly wary of "seeming decentralized." 🤖
According to The Defiant, Myriad Markets' internal admin wallet used for automatically creating and arbitrating some markets was compromised. On October 26, the attacker manipulated the outcomes of 10 prediction markets and claimed rewards; the platform subsequently voided these markets, and affected users will be automatically refunded.
My judgment is that this incident serves as a warning about the reliability of prediction markets, which is more important than which popular topics are involved. If multiple outcomes are controlled by the same permission, then diversifying participation across different topics does not necessarily diversify the underlying risk.
The advantage of this rule is that it shifts the focus from "how popular the topic is" to "who can change the outcome." Automatic refunds help with remediation, but refund arrangements and arbitration mechanisms being trustworthy are two different matters; one cannot substitute the other.
The flaw is that the rule might be too coarse: having admin permissions does not mean the permissions can be used arbitrarily; it also depends on the scope of authorization and the design of checks and balances. I will next focus on whether there are verifiable explanations for permission isolation and arbitration constraints, clarify this condition first, and then discuss the model.【Crypto revenue plummets 55%, Robinhood relies on prediction markets to save the day】
$HOOD The earnings report is a bit disappointing. Crypto trading revenue was cut by 55% year-over-year, down to only $120 million, and quarterly crypto trading volume also dropped 38% year-over-year to about $50 billion. As Bitcoin cools off, the first to suffer are platforms that make money from frequent retail trading.
Fortunately, Robinhood no longer relies solely on crypto trading. Options revenue grew 31% to $399 million, prediction market revenue reached $173 million, a year-over-year increase of over 6 times, and overall trading revenue still grew 19%. The problem is that trading volume is growing faster than revenue, and the prediction market may just be existing players betting in a different place, without bringing in new customers of the same scale.
Earnings per share were only $0.51, below the expected $0.55, and operating expenses increased 16%. This is why the stock fell more than 7% after hours: the new business can indeed take over, but it has not yet fully offset the cooling crypto business and rising costs. For HOOD, what needs to be proven next is that the growth engines have truly diversified, rather than just moving the same batch of retail investors' money from one pocket to another.
#Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ #Strategy pauses additional purchases, Strive and BitMine expand reserves
"MicroStrategy hits the brakes, Strive buys against the trend"
Recently, Bitcoin has stabilized above $80,000. MicroStrategy, which used to issue bonds daily to increase holdings, suddenly stopped, with no new purchase disclosures for several consecutive days. Many have started to wonder if the main buying force has cooled off.
However, cash flow in the market has not dried up. Strive Asset Management has directly raised its Bitcoin allocation limit, and mining company BitMine has converted mining net profits into spot holdings.
The old leader is slowing down, while new forces are stepping up to support. MicroStrategy's next regular quarterly report is in early November; the report will reveal the details then. $BTC [SK Hynix to distribute dividends and repurchase shares worth 100 trillion KRW in one year; memory shortage expected to last until 2030]
AI money has already started flowing into the pockets of chip manufacturers' shareholders. SK Hynix $SKHY reported Q3 revenue exceeding 104.6 trillion KRW, operating profit of 83.3 trillion KRW, with an operating margin as high as 80%. The average DRAM selling price rose over 20% in a single quarter, making this business exceptionally profitable. The company also plans to return about 100 trillion KRW to shareholders this year.
Hynix expects the memory shortage to continue until 2030, with DRAM demand growth exceeding 20% in 2027, and capital expenditures set to increase significantly. From 2027 to 2028, more than half of the production capacity is already locked in by long-term supply agreements. AI data centers are still competing for inventory, giving memory manufacturers both short-term pricing power and order visibility.
However, the 100 trillion KRW is not entirely new repurchases; it includes a previously announced and completed 40 trillion KRW repurchase plan. What truly deserves attention is that while Hynix returns profits to shareholders, it must continue investing heavily in capacity expansion. As long as AI demand holds up, memory manufacturers may continue to benefit from tight supply; if future supply catches up with demand, this round of high profits will also face challenges.$BTC shorts were squeezed overnight, with Binance's Beijing time 5 AM spike directly hitting 81,300, now retreating to around 80,640, up 0.37% in 24h, with spot trading volume at 1.06 billion USD.
TRdesk reports a total liquidation of 140 million USD across the network in the past 24 hours, with shorts at 96 million and longs at 44 million. This time shorts were forced to buy, with BTC liquidations at 34.5 million USD, 79% of which were shorts, the largest single liquidation being 2.6 million.
$ETH followed, rising from 2,297 to 2,364, now at 2,342, with 36.6 million USD liquidated in 24h, even more than BTC, 84% of which were shorts.
Binance BTC contract open interest peaked at 98,100 contracts at 11 PM last night, then dropped steadily to 94,800, now at 95,800 contracts, funding rate at 0.0045%, and the long-short account ratio fell from 2.39 yesterday to 2.02.
My view is that this move was mainly driven by passive short liquidations pushing the price up, not new money entering the market. Before the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision comes out early tomorrow morning, if the 81.3k spike doesn't hold, I won't chase it. $OP
Layer-2 competition is increasingly about more than reducing transaction costs. Optimism’s OP Stack offers infrastructure for building Ethereum-compatible networks, creating opportunities for ecosystem expansion. Yet, more chains do not automatically mean stronger economics. Fragmented liquidity, competition between rollups, and uncertain value capture remain important considerations. The long-term test is whether expanding infrastructure generates durable demand for the ecosystem.$FIL
Decentralized storage has a practical use case: preserving and retrieving data without depending entirely on conventional centralized providers. Filecoin’s challenge is making that alternative competitive on reliability, cost, and ease of access. Storage capacity alone does not prove strong customer demand. The more important indicators are sustained paid usage, useful integrations, and whether storage providers can operate economically over time.$BTC ETF inflows don’t guarantee a price increase. Overall market supply and demand, selling pressure, liquidity, macro conditions, and derivatives positions all play a role.

👇The crypto market in October 2026 appears to be consolidating with narrow rotations on the surface, but underneath, there is a structural shift in the nature of capital. The most prominent signal is the "divergence between the index and breadth." The altcoin season index rose to a one-year high of 66, but only 6 out of 26 narrative categories increased, with the breadth of gain dropping sharply from 92% two weeks ago to 23.1%. Leading sectors are concentrated in infrastructure layers such as on-chain voting, cross-chain bridges, and data availability, while retail-focused sectors like social, Meme, and the Solana ecosystem generally declined. This is not a broad-based altcoin season but a concentrated rotation of existing capital within very narrow tracks. At the sector level, only three asset types truly outperformed Bitcoin in 2026: token trading, AI, and privacy. VVV rose 1,431% for the year, NEAR increased 203%, and ZEC gained 137%. However, DWF Labs also pointed out that the integration of AI and crypto "has not yet been priced in by the market," and DePIN, AI payments, and identity verification may be the next narrative implementation directions—there remains a significant lag between narrative hype and fundamental realization. The generational shift of institutional capital carries more directional significance. Since August, ETFs have replaced corporate treasuries as the marginal buyers of Bitcoin, with IBIT accounting for the vast majority of net inflows into U.S. spot ETFs. But Coinbase's institutional co-CEO clearly stated that the core driver for institutional adoption has shifted from ETFs to stablecoin payments, with stablecoin settlement volumes reaching $400 million per hour, and seven of the world's largest banks are building on Coinbase's infrastructure Whales are dumping their prey; prey worth 482,228 $SOL (approximately 49.17 million USD) is being sent to the market for sale.
In the past three days, three wallets (possibly belonging to the same giant whale) have transferred a total of 482,228 SOL with the intent to sell.
• Total SOL transferred out: 482,228 SOL (approximately 49.17 million USD)
• 171,430 SOL (approximately 17.3 million USD) has been deposited into exchanges.
• More than 310,000 SOL tokens remain unlisted, so selling pressure may continue.
• The claim that these three wallets belong to the same owner is based on on-chain data speculation and has not been confirmed.
I have seen some large holders transfer nearly 50 million USD worth of SOL within three days, with nearly one-third already flowing into exchanges, so future selling pressure remains significant. I believe SOL is very likely to face downward pressure, especially with Bitcoin prices hovering around 80,000 USD and the market awaiting the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting results. I am currently hesitant to try to bottom-fish SOL; I will wait and see if the remaining SOL will be sold to exchanges.
People think this whale is robbing assets or has a premonition, which is why it is fleeing.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
Short-term realization is without doubt
The actual Q3 results have already provided the answer: revenue of 104.6 trillion KRW and operating profit of 83.3 trillion KRW, both exceeding market expectations, with the operating profit margin further climbing to 80%. The company clearly guides that in Q4, HBM4 will surpass HBM3E in both shipment volume and sales revenue, becoming the main product and reaching full production capacity by year-end. This means the ramp-up pace of HBM4 itself has not faltered, and the generational switch from HBM3E to HBM4 is progressing as planned. Looking solely at "whether HBM4 can sustain profitability," the short-term answer is affirmative. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 After the U.S. stock market closed on October 27, the commodity market showed a highly divergent structure: gold barely stabilized around the $4000 level, silver weakly rebounded after hitting a new low for the year, copper maintained a high level caught between AI sentiment and inventory realities, while natural gas moved in the opposite direction due to the split logic between European and American markets. The common thread across these four commodities is the decline in oil prices—progress in Middle East diplomatic mediation has lowered the energy risk premium, but this clue transmits differently across various commodities. #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
Gold: The $4000 Battle, Breathing Room Borrowed from Oil Prices
Spot gold rebounded on Monday from a more than three-month low last Friday, closing up 0.6% at $4020.60/oz, with COMEX December gold futures up 0.8% to $4038.40. However, gold prices fell below $4000 again during Tuesday’s session, trading around $3995 during European hours, down 0.5% on the day.
The direct driver of the rebound was the drop in crude oil prices. StoneX strategist Bob Haberkorn put it precisely: "Crude oil prices fell slightly, providing some support to gold prices, along with some dip-buying." But this support is fragile—it depends on oil prices continuing to fall rather than a fundamental strengthening of gold itself. The suppressing factors are also clear: the US dollar index stands above 102, the market still prices an 80% chance of a rate hike in December, and the 10-year US Treasury yield remains near 5%, so the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold has not materially decreased. The Guotai Haitong metals team pointed out that tensions in the Middle East keep oil prices high, inflationary pressure remains significant, and expectations of Fed rate hikes persist, all suppressing precious metal prices.
Capital flows also send warnings: the world’s largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust, has reduced holdings for four consecutive trading days, with holdings dropping to 1040.79 tons as of October 26. Technically, $4000 is a key support level; a sustained break below could signal further weakness. The real directional choice awaits the Fed decision on Wednesday and the PCE data release on Thursday.
Silver: Weak Rebound After Yearly Low, Bearish Structure Unchanged
Silver’s situation is more passive than gold’s. During the Asian session on Tuesday, spot silver briefly fell to a yearly low of $52.66/oz, then rebounded supported by Middle East diplomatic progress and falling oil prices, trading around $54.36 intraday, up about 0.74% on the day.
However, this rebound is more of a technical correction than the start of a trend reversal. On the daily chart, silver prices remain below the 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages, with lower highs and lower lows intact. The RSI is near 34, oversold but not at extreme levels, and the MACD remains negative, indicating weak momentum. Compared to gold, silver is more sensitive to interest rates—speculative positions are heavier and market depth shallower, so the same capital outflow causes a larger price impact. This is the fundamental reason silver broke below $53.01 to an approximately 11-month low: it faces dual pressure from interest rate headwinds and its industrial attributes.
Policy expectations set a ceiling from another angle. Although a pause in October is fully priced in, the probability of at least one rate hike before year-end remains as high as 82.3%. The FXS Fed sentiment index stays at a hawkish high of 127.51, meaning any rebound is likely to face selling pressure at relatively low levels. Resistance at $55 is the primary barrier; if it breaks below $52.67, it may test the psychological $50 level.
Copper $XCU: AI Sentiment Supports, Inventory and Premium Provide Support, But Upside Is Limited
LME three-month copper rose 0.9% to $14,462/ton on Tuesday, Shanghai copper main contract closed at 108,390 CNY/ton, up 0.19%, with spot premiums widening to a high of 920 CNY/ton.
Copper’s support comes from two levels. On the macro sentiment side, the rebound in AI concept stocks directly supports copper prices, with market expectations that AI infrastructure expansion will drive copper demand, while supply remains constrained, especially in China. On the industrial fundamentals side, mine tightness and smelting production cuts remain the main themes, inventories are being drawn down across the board, and high spot premiums reflect limited available resources. Extreme weather in Chile disrupting output and Norilsk Nickel’s announcement of a nine-month major overhaul of the Nadezhda plant next year, reducing 2027-2028 output, constitute substantial supply constraints.
However, upside space is also clearly limited. During LME Week, Citi observed that market participants generally hold a cautious attitude, worried about weak economic growth, AI investment risks, high energy prices, and US copper tariff policies not meeting expectations. Citi currently maintains a neutral view on copper, believing that while long-term demand is supported, short-term direction lacks clarity until policy and energy markets become clearer. Domestically, the US-China copper arbitrage narrative is nearing its end and the market is entering a seasonal lull; Shanghai copper main contract is expected to trade in the 107,000-109,000 CNY/ton range in the short term.
Natural Gas $NG: Divergent Logic Between Europe and the US, US Weak, Europe Strong
Natural gas shows the most internally divided trend among the four commodities. The US NYMEX natural gas main contract fell over 1%, trading around $2.98/MMBtu, with the North American market relatively independent due to its own production recovery and export bottlenecks, putting price pressure.
The European market moved in the opposite direction. The Dutch TTF near-month contract fell to €96.29/MWh, ending a four-day rally, having closed at a four-year high of €97.19 the previous day. The pullback was triggered by new developments in Middle East diplomatic mediation and some profit-taking by longs. However, the correction is expected to be limited, with core support coming from extremely thin supply buffers: EU underground gas storage fill rates stalled at 74.6%, the lowest for this time of year since records began in 2009; Germany’s storage is just above 61%, while the five-year average is 89%; Norway’s Oseberg field unplanned outage volume was raised from 7.7 million cubic meters per day to 12.7 million; Qatar Energy’s partial cargo deliveries to Italy’s Edison company are not expected to resume until the end of December. Given this inventory base, European pricing logic has shifted from "cost-plus" to "shortage pricing," and the depth of the pullback is expected to be limited until storage is effectively replenished at the "hard bottom."The Treasury "secretly opened the floodgates," pushing yields down
First, let's look at the underlying macro catalyst behind this rebound.
The U.S. Treasury announced it would double its purchases of long-term government bonds—from $20 billion to $40 billion. The direct effect of this move is a temporary suppression of long-term Treasury yields.
Do you understand this chain of events?
Bitcoin fell from 87,000 to 79,000, and one of the main culprits was the 10-year Treasury yield staying above 5%. The risk-free rate was too high, making zero-coupon assets unattractive. When the Treasury steps in to buy long bonds and push yields down, the "opportunity cost pressure" on Bitcoin is marginally eased.
At the same time, market concerns about inflation and government debt are heating up. When investors start to suspect that "the Treasury might be effectively printing money," the narrative of Bitcoin as a "scarce asset" is reactivated.
This is not the power of the "crypto narrative." This is the expectation of "fiscal deficit monetization" that is repricing Bitcoin. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落 ETF single-day outflows narrowed from 117.2 million to 32.6 million, almost just a fraction of the previous day. Is the selling pressure about to end? First, the news. On the capital side: the latest single-day net outflow was 32.6 million (previous day net outflow was 117.2 million), 5-day net inflow remains 294.8 million, 10-day net inflow 128.9 million. On the price side: BTC is at $80,057, 24 hours -0.46%, nearly one week -3.09%; 20-day range from 79,220.1 to 84,899.6. On the sentiment side: the Fear and Greed Index fell from 50 to 48. On the macro side: Dollar Index 102.08 (+0.11%), Gold 4,024.8 (+0.42%, back above 4,000), S&P 500 at 7,676.77 (+0.70%). Next, looking at the capital impact. The significance of the narrowing outflow lies in the speed: if the previous day was a panic sell-off (117.2 million), and the next day only 32.6 million, it means the most panicked batch has already exited. To judge whether the selling pressure is over, the key is to watch the next two days: if it continues to narrow and turns positive, the capital side is repaired; if it expands again, it’s just a brief respite. Implications for BTC: price holding above 80,000, outflow narrowing, gold reclaiming 4,000—these three signals appearing simultaneously indicate the market is repairing rather than collapsing. But the Fear and Greed Index dropping to 48 shows sentiment hasn’t caught up yet; the repair is still in early stages. I will be watching four indicators next: first, whether ETF single-day can turn positive; second, whether BTC can hold 79,Two publicly listed companies hoarding Bitcoin: one is accelerating purchases, the other has paused 🧐
According to the 8-K filed by Strive to the U.S. SEC on October 26, it bought 6,182 $BTC from October 17 to 23 at an average price of about $82,732, bringing its holdings to 43,000 coins. Bitcoin Treasuries notes this is its largest single purchase. According to its supplemental prospectus, the total cost for these 43,000 coins is about $3.8 billion, averaging approximately $87,785 per coin.
In the same week, Strategy did not buy any coins but spent about $205 million in cash to repurchase its own preferred shares STRC. It holds 848,517 coins at an average cost of about $75,446.
This morning at 08:42 (Beijing time), OKEx spot $BTC was about 80,774 USDT. Roughly calculated at this price, Strive’s batch of coins is showing an unrealized loss of about $300 million, while Strategy is still in profit.
My understanding: the company with the higher cost basis is more eager to lower its average price; the one with the lower cost basis is prioritizing its financing instruments. The buying activity of companies hoarding coins is not a straight line; the weekly Monday holdings announcements are more worth watching than slogans.
Do you think Strive buying more as the price falls shows confidence or pressure?
Personal opinion, not investment advice Just after 2 a.m., I originally wanted to use the restroom and then go back to sleep, but I casually checked OKX contract data. After reading it, I was instantly wide awake. Don’t think the sideways movement these days means stabilization; actually, all the leverage is squeezed together!
$BTC current price is 80519, stuck around the 80,000 mark playing tricks back and forth. The 4-hour long-short ratio is as high as 2.38, and open interest stubbornly refuses to drop. Everyone treats 80,000 as a solid floor, lining up below to ambush with long positions. With such heavy weight, how could the main force possibly carry the market upward?
Look at ETH at 2345, breaking below previous lows with a weak rebound. Strangely, open interest keeps surging, the long-short ratio hitting 2.44. The more it falls, the more buying happens; retail leverage keeps stacking up. Even slight pressure triggers a chain of bloody liquidations. Then look at SOL at 100.77, stubbornly stuck at the 100 mark, with the 4-hour long-short ratio rising to 3.16! Funding rates are still positive, longs lining up to pay funding fees. Once this thin barrier breaks, it’s unimaginable.
My view: With the October FOMC decision just around the corner, macro expectations of "higher rates for longer" are suppressing the market, and liquidity is extremely scarce. The bullish sentiment is so crowded now that once liquidity arrives, it’s very easy to trigger a one-sided shakeout. Anyway, I’m firmly empty-handed watching the show. This kind of market tends to get hit from both sides, so keep positions light, control leverage strictly, and prioritize capital preservation. $BTC $ETH $ZEC Why does an increase in Bitcoin ETF inflows not necessarily mean the price will rise?
As the connection between traditional financial markets and crypto assets deepens, Bitcoin spot ETFs have become an important window to observe institutional capital demand. When ETFs show net inflows, the market often wonders if this means more funds are allocating to Bitcoin. However, capital flow is only part of market analysis and cannot be directly equated with a price increase signal.
First, ETF net inflows and overall market demand are not the same concept. Net inflows reflect the subscription and redemption of funds for a specific product over a period, but Bitcoin is simultaneously traded across multiple global platforms. Even if ETFs continuously receive inflows, other market participants may be selling at the same time, and ultimately the price depends on the overall supply and demand balance.
Second, there may be a time lag between capital inflows and price changes. Some investors may position themselves in advance, while others may increase allocations only after the market rises. Therefore, single-day inflows cannot independently prove that a price trend has formed, nor can they guarantee that subsequent funds will continue to flow in.
Third, it is necessary to pay attention to the scale, duration, and market environment of the inflows. Continuous inflows over multiple days may be more informative than single-day anomalies, but still require comprehensive judgment combined with trading volume, market liquidity, macro expectations, and derivatives positions.
Additionally, ETF inflows do not mean all holders are bullish on Bitcoin long-term. Different investors may operate for arbitrage, asset allocation, or short-term trading purposes.
Truly valuable analysis treats ETF capital flows as one observation indicator rather than using it alone to predict price.
If Bitcoin ETFs have consecutive days of net inflows but the price does not show a clear rise, which factors do you think should be further considered? $BTC #Strategy pauses accumulation, Strive and BitMine expand reserves
The leader has something to say
Last week, there was a clear divergence in the allocation of listed companies' digital treasuries.
Strategy did not increase its BTC holdings but instead repurchased about $205 million in STRC preferred shares, maintaining a position of 848,500 shares. Strive increased its BTC holdings by 6,182 coins, but the newly issued preferred shares have a high dividend rate of 15%. BitMine increased its ETH holdings by 10,452 coins, with a total holding of about 6.05 million coins, of which 5.23 million are staked, generating an annualized income of about $318 million.
I believe the competition now is about whose model is more stable. High-interest financing to buy coins can crush cash flow during sideways markets. The comments are accurate: Strategy paused accumulation due to financing constraints, not bearish sentiment. Institutions have not exited but are rotating positions, with Strive and BitMine taking over.
In the market, BTC fell slightly by 0.20%, ETH by 0.19%. BTC experienced a waterfall drop last night; now we watch if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't hold, expect a deeper correction, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Do not chase the rise or kill the fall; set your stop-loss orders properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop-losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $DOOD On October 28, SK Hynix made the latest statement: it believes its current stock price is undervalued.
At the industry level, the structural imbalance between chip supply and demand will continue in the short term.
The company's core optimistic logic lies in: the AI business revenue and cash flow of downstream core customers are improving, and as a result, the customers' ongoing pressure and investment burden on AI funding will be alleviated, which is expected to support the resilience of HBM and AI storage demand.
Market interpretation: This is management's response to the current divergence in the storage sector. Previously, the market was concerned that cloud vendors' AI capital expenditures had peaked and that a turning point in the market cycle was approaching, which was the main reason for the earlier pullback in storage stocks.
However, it should be noted: structural imbalance ≠ overall supply shortage; consumer-grade storage remains weak; this statement is an optimistic guidance from management and cannot directly reverse the already weakening sector trend, so it is still suitable to be regarded as a rebound logic.

The market remains sideways ahead of the FOMC, Bitcoin dominance at 59.79%, funds have not left crypto but are consolidating into $BTC. 👇 First, let's clarify the core facts of today's news: 🏭 SK Hynix's capacity is sold out: On October 28, SK Hynix stated in its earnings call that based on locked-in long-term supply agreements (LTA) and specific customer negotiations, DRAM and HBM capacity through 2029 is fully sold. It's not "strong demand," but the volume for the next three years is already accounted for. 📈 The "backlog order" logic for AI storage: Micron previously informed investors that customers have committed to approximately $22 billion in multi-year agreements to lock in memory supply. This level of visibility turns deals from "hope" into "backlog orders." SK Hynix holds a 56.4% revenue share of the global HBM market in Q1 2026, positioning it at the tightest link in the AI supply chain. 📉 The crypto side mirror: Digital asset investment products have seen continuous outflows in recent weeks, with altcoin participation dropping sharply from 11 assets three weeks ago to only 5 now. Feedback from trading desks is highly consistent: holding $BTC or USDETH's short-term trend remains bearish, with a high probability of continuing to test lower support; whether it can stabilize in the mid-term depends on whether ETF capital outflows slow down and if key levels can hold. Currently, multiple analyses point to further downside rather than an immediate reversal. Where is the short-term resistance? • Continuous capital outflow: In October, the net outflow of spot Ethereum ETFs has exceeded $1 billion, the highest monthly outflow this year, indicating a clear weakening of institutional demand. • Technical and leverage vulnerability: The price is below all short-term moving averages, and open interest still exceeds $30 billion. If key levels are broken, highly leveraged longs may trigger more forced liquidations. • Upgrade catalyst delay: The Glamsterdam testnet was postponed due to security vulnerabilities, removing a potential short-term positive catalyst. What levels to watch below? • Primary support (around $2,220): Multiple analyses regard this as the next key psychological and technical level. If this level is continuously broken, the price may further slide to the $1,850–$1,920 range. • Conditions for rebound: Only by reclaiming and holding above $2,440–$2,520, accompanied by easing selling pressure, can the bearish structure truly improve. $ETH $BTC $ZEC #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Let's review 4 crypto projects together: $WLD (World), $PENDLE, $IO (io.net), and $ENA (Ethena), and paint the most comprehensive and up-to-date picture of on-chain activity, key events, growth levels, revenue, ecosystem health, and upcoming development plans for each project.

Data as of the end of October 2026 shows a clear differentiation. Pendle is transitioning from a subsidiary Just saw this, and my first reaction was: so digital assets can also be used as a tool to consolidate the US dollar's position 🤔 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated at the Ripple Swell conference that digital assets help reinforce the global dominance of the US dollar, and that over 90% of stablecoins are backed by the US dollar.
I've been in the space for only a year, and I used to easily equate "crypto development" with "breaking away from the dollar." After thinking about it, my understanding is that while technology can be decentralized, the unit of account people use may not necessarily change. My judgment is that these remarks have greater significance for payment and settlement scenarios involving dollar-backed stablecoins, and should not be directly interpreted as benefiting all digital assets.
Logically, if stablecoins can truly open up new global markets, then the US dollar might reach more users through these channels. On the other hand, according to him, issuers often use US Treasury bonds as reserves; if the scale grows, then demand for US Treasuries might also increase. These are the two transmission paths as I understand them. I'm not sure if this is correct, but neither directly implies a rise in coin prices.
What I haven't figured out yet is how much of the new usage comes from real payments versus how much is just on-chain fund circulation. This message makes me want to observe the actual use cases of stablecoins more closely, rather than hastily treating official endorsements of digital assets as a blanket positive for the entire market.
