Crypto Circle Financial Report Analysis: Raydium Q3 2026
Raydium is one of the most important decentralized exchanges on Solana. The Q3 quarterly report looks impressive on the surface, but there are significant hidden risks in the details
Trading Fees: Reached $57.1 million in Q3, more than tripling from about $17 million in Q2. September alone contributed approximately $44.6 million
Trading Volume: About $16.1 billion, a 17% quarter-over-quarter increase, but 62% concentrated in September
RAY: Rose from $0.63 to $1.91, a quarterly increase of 204%
Buybacks: Approximately $6.2 million spent on RAY buybacks in Q3, a significant quarter-over-quarter increase
LaunchLab Upgrade: In August, external platforms were allowed to open their own launchpads on Raydium
StonkFun Migration: On September 5, a launchpad pairing new tokens with tokenized stocks migrated all issuances to Raydium's LaunchLab
Main Issues:
Growth heavily depends on a single partner. Historically, in similar situations, LaunchLab fees dropped sharply by 79% the month after the partner cooled down
Early October data shows daily fees are about 43% lower than in September
July and August were weak themselves, with almost all the quarter's highlights concentrated in September I really can't suppress the anger in my heart. Crypto, in the past two years, every market cycle has relied on liquidity spilled over from other markets. Last year, there was a big rally because of liquidity coming from the gold market; this big rally is due to liquidity coming from tech stocks. Crypto doesn't create its own wealth; it can only barely rise once by relying on handouts from other markets. This is damn like a stray dog on the roadside! If someone feels pity, they throw a piece of sausage; if no one feels pity, it's just a stray dog on the roadside. —————————————————— Today's market rebound vividly shows the true nature of crypto. Tech stocks in the US and South Korea are both rebounding, but what is crypto doing? It's damn falling! Looking at this comparison chart, it's obvious that the trends are almost opposite. I can only say, crypto is eating leftovers; what future can eating leftovers have? I now believe it's better to play the US stock market. Why? Because the US stock market has ups and downs; those mega-cap stocks, after surging up sharply, will fall a lot. They won't let both shorts and longs be wiped out. But crypto is not like that. Crypto's rises and falls are very one-sided; either it kills all the shorts or kills all the longs. In this situation, making money is as hard as climbing to the sky. But the US stock market, after falling a lot, will have a very good rebound; after rising a lot, there will also be a considerable pullback. The US stock market doesn't cut retail investors as harshly as crypto does. —————————————————— IZcash decision tomorrow: 22,000 old ZEC may be permanently frozen
Zcash's NU7 upgrade proposal (ZIP 2003) will have its final go/no-go decision tomorrow (October 20). If approved, it is targeted to activate on November 5, and the old v4 transaction format will be deprecated.
Affected are the old Sprout pools: about 22,309 ZEC (as of October 17) are inside. Once v4 is disabled, these coins cannot be spent. Note, they are not burned; the door is just closed—the coins remain on the ledger but cannot be transferred out. Only those with Sprout balances in old wallets from 2016–2018 are affected; exchange users are unaffected.
ZEC has been hotly discussed for 4 days on the planet, all about price, but no one has accounted for this technical matter yet. Tomorrow we will see the decision.OP 30 days +66%.
a/ On 10/13, Unichain production chain was handed over to OP custody, mainnet launched on 10/29
b/ Upgrade 20 passed: 50% of Superchain revenue used to buy back OP
c/ OP Stack accounts for 66.8% of Ethereum L2 transaction volume
On the other hand
· Buyback only starts in February 2027, none spent so far
· Token down −97% from peak
· Base left in February taking away 70%+ of sequencer revenue
The chain is growing long, but the token hasn't kept up.WLD has no quantum resistance capabilities at all in terms of quantum security! In summary for WLD (Worldcoin):
The WLD token itself (on-chain transfers, wallet signatures) natively lacks quantum resistance. Only the World ID iris biometric offline multiparty computation AMPC module partially uses quantum-secure cryptography; however, WLD token transaction signatures still use the traditional ETH/ECDSA secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptography, facing the same quantum cracking risks as BTC and ETH.
1. Splitting into two cryptographic layers makes it easy to distinguish
1. WLD token transfers (World Chain, OP Stack Ethereum L2)
- WLD is an ERC20 token, World Chain belongs to Ethereum L2, wallet transaction signatures use ECDSA-secp256k1, the same cryptography as Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets.
- In the future, when fault-tolerant quantum computers mature, Shor's algorithm can derive private keys by exposing public keys, stealing tokens. This part has no built-in post-quantum signature.
- Upgrades can only rely on OP Stack (Optimism superchain)'s overall post-quantum upgrade path; Worldcoin itself has no independent quantum-resistant transformation plan and must upgrade along with the Ethereum ecosystem, with no clear implementation timeline.
2. World ID identity system (the iris recognition set)
- World ID uses zero-knowledge proof ZK to prove real human identity; the underlying Groth16 (BN254 elliptic curve) is also not quantum-resistant;
- But its iris comparison AMPC privacy module uses quantum-secure multiparty computation SMPC, specifically protecting iris biometric data.
👉Key point: This quantum resistance only protects iris privacy, not the security of on-chain WLD token assets, which many people easily confuse.
2. Horizontal comparison with STRK
- STRK: plans to upgrade to an independent L1 in 2027, replacing the entire chain with post-quantum signatures, aiming for native quantum resistance in token transactions;
- WLD: underlying cryptography for token transactions is not quantum-resistant, only the biometric privacy module has quantum security; token asset protection fully inherits Ethereum's quantum risk.
3. Core summary
✅ Worldcoin is not completely without quantum security technology, but it is limited to the iris identity privacy module.
❌ WLD token transfers and wallet asset signatures do not have built-in quantum resistance, sharing the same generation of cryptography as ETH and BTC, and will face threats from quantum computers in the long term.
📌 To achieve quantum resistance at the WLD token layer, it can only wait for the OP Stack superchain to complete the post-quantum cryptography migration, which is a long-term plan with no current implementation.ETF is selling, which is a different matter from whether the price falls or not
$BTC is now 81,139, $ETH 2,378.
This week, spot ETF net outflow is 228 million, with $ETH at 319 million.
Where does the money come from:
The money buying ETFs goes through the subscription and redemption channel, not on the order book.
Redemption requires selling coins to cash out, and the sell orders fall on the spot market.
How is this number calculated:
$BTC net outflow is 228 million, calculated at eighty-one thousand, about 2,800 coins.
These coins are not sold by someone bearish, but the product is shrinking.
Institutions are withdrawing, leverage is clearing, volume is shrinking, three directions pressing simultaneously.
If 81,800 cannot be reclaimed, any rebound is just a rebound.
Next level to watch is 80,000.
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？
#$BTC $ETH #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 看多$BTC $ETH #Institutional funds weaken, who will see the first inflow, BTC or ETH?
Withdrawal has slowed, but the money hasn't truly returned yet. As of October 16, 2026, US BTC spot ETFs have seen net outflows for two consecutive weeks, and ETH for three consecutive weeks; from October 12 to 16, net outflows were $228.4 million and $320.1 million respectively, narrowing by 66.4% and 41% compared to the previous week.
After the Fed rate hike in September, inflation rose again, so patience is still needed to verify fund inflows. BTC outflows have narrowed faster, providing a clue that funds may stabilize first, but moving from reduced outflows to sustained inflows is still one step away. ETFs do not represent all institutions but offer a trackable clue on fund flows.
In the next 3–5 trading days, the focus is on whether the rolling 5-day net flow can turn positive and continue, and whether multiple products can see inflows together, to avoid mistaking a large inflow in a single fund as a broad recovery. For ETH, it is also important to see if ETHA redemptions ease and if ETH/BTC can strengthen. If ETH meets these conditions first, the judgment that BTC stabilizes first should be overturned.Both BTC and ETH are experiencing capital outflows, so why can't the same logic be applied to analyze their market trends?
One of the most common mistakes in market analysis is treating Bitcoin and Ethereum as two completely synchronized assets.
Last week's ETF data is quite worth pondering. From October 12 to 16, the U.S. spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $228 million, while the ETH ETF had a net outflow of about $320 million. Looking at the numbers alone, ETH's outflow amount is even larger.
But we cannot directly conclude that ETH is weaker than BTC here. The fund sizes, market depth, and capital structures of the two are different, so comparing absolute amounts is not entirely fair.
What I care more about is: when institutional funds withdraw in phases, is there other buying interest in the market to take over? If ETFs continue to see outflows but spot prices remain supported, it indicates possible divergence among different capital groups; if capital outflows, volume changes, and price weakness occur simultaneously, the market needs to reassess demand.
Additionally, ETF data itself has a release lag, so you can't use last week's numbers to explain every candlestick today.
So the question arises: if BTC and ETH continue to diverge, which do you think better reflects the true attitude of institutional funds? Is it by looking at ETF net flows, or by observing whether the spot market can absorb selling pressure? #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ $BTC $ETH Last night, Bitcoin surged from 80,600 to above 83,000, then a few bearish candles pushed it back down to 82,200. The rise and fall pattern is very clear.
Three major pressures: September CPI year-on-year at 3.7%, PPI also exceeding expectations, pushing back rate cut expectations; spot ETFs have seen net outflows for the second consecutive week, about $228 million last week; sentiment remains in the greed zone.
The volume above 83,000 did not keep up, no new money to take over. The spike at 80,600 looks more like a panic washout, the pullback is just short covering.
Now 82,200 is stuck in the middle, no chasing the rally, waiting for a pullback to stabilize before making a move. $BTC$ETH This drop looks more like a short squeeze rather than the start of a major crash.
First, look at the positions; they are more useful than the price. If a big drop were really coming, shorts would keep adding positions during the decline, and open interest should rise; this time it’s falling, meaning leverage is being liquidated. The liquidation structure matches this: 97% of the positions liquidated in the last hour were longs, while short covering is almost negligible. This cut is just a leverage purge.
But the idea that it will pump right after the purge doesn’t hold either. ETFs have seen a net outflow of one billion over three weeks, which is real selling pressure that leverage alone can’t explain. Every time the price rebounds to 2,450 to 2,480, it gets pushed back down—there’s real money selling at those levels. A single needle is enough to kill leverage, but pumping requires new money, and new money hasn’t arrived yet.
The bullish case is based on structure. The price dipped to 2,350 but was pulled back, and the lower channel boundary hasn’t been broken—this indicates that what was crushed were leveraged positions, not spot holders running away. After clearing some floating supply, the same buying power can drive a larger rally later.
This bullish view is about structure; the timing isn’t right yet. There are only two reliable signals: reclaiming 2,450 with volume, or ETFs stopping outflows. Until then, don’t mistake a short squeeze for an imminent pump. BlackRock has made a big move again. Just now, a wallet related to an ETF transferred $143 million worth of BTC and ETH to Coinbase Prime, including 883 BTC valued at $72.64 million and 28,957 ETH valued at $70.4 million. The amounts on both sides are almost evenly split. When suddenly a blockchain transfer of over $100 million appears, no wonder the market is getting nervous again.
However, I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon in the crypto space: whenever the keywords BlackRock, Coinbase Prime, and large transfers appear together, people in the comments immediately shout that institutions are about to dump. The problem is, transferring into an exchange doesn’t mean an immediate sell, especially since Coinbase Prime itself handles institutional custody and settlement services. ETF subscriptions and redemptions, account reallocations, and liquidity arrangements could all involve such transfers. You can’t judge what BlackRock intends just based on a single on-chain record.
But the timing is indeed sensitive now. BTC just lost 82,200 on the weekly chart, and ETH has been capped at 2,494. The market is already lacking confidence. If ETF funds continue to flow out and spot selling pressure adds up, BTC’s 80,000 and 78,300 levels will need to be watched carefully, and ETH might retest around 2,380.
Currently, I’m still bullish, but I won’t blindly turn bullish just because institutions are increasing holdings, nor will I rush to short just because of a transfer.$INJ
INJ is still down nearly 2%, why does an improved range position not equal a trend reversal?
In the morning market snapshot, the spot price fell about 1.96% in 24 hours, with a range of 7.803—8.832, and the price is at about 68% of the range.
Negative returns and a relatively high range position can appear simultaneously, reflecting partial recovery from the low but the starting point has not yet been surpassed. Financial applications require real usage and fee support, and cannot be proven to be revalued solely by how far the price is from the low point.
If 8.832 is recovered and a higher low is formed, the repair will be more complete; if 7.803 is lost, a reassessment is needed. Assets that lag during a market rebound should not be preset as the next leader just because they have fallen a lot before.On Monday as soon as the US stock market opened, the Nasdaq jumped 1% directly, AI and chip stocks collectively rebounded, and the screen was full of calls saying "the bottom is in." I haven't moved a single one of my crypto short positions.
Why panic if it doesn't rise, or rush to close if it doesn't improve? Because this is just an emotional rebound at Monday's open, not a trend reversal. The AI deleveraging line is being pressed down bit by bit by financing costs and debt pricing; it won't reverse just because of a few bullish candles on Monday morning. $BTC is still grinding around 82,000, and $ETH can't even hold 2,400 — if a real reversal were coming, the weakest leg would be the first to strengthen, but that's not happening now.
When trading trend positions, the biggest fear isn't holding on, but being shaken out by a rebound candle. My rule is simple: if the framework isn't broken, the position stays; I wait for the market itself to tell me I'm wrong before admitting it.
Are you guys trying to catch this rebound now, or sitting tight like me?8 major altcoins, 7 of them have exchange rates against BTC in the lower half of the 100-day range.
DOGE is only at 9%, XRP 16%, ADA 24%, ETH 27%.
Only AVAX barely stands at 51%.
BTC has only dropped 2.6% in 20 days, altcoins have dropped 10% to 15%, which seems like just a bit more.
But when converted to exchange rates against BTC, it's a different story.
Exchange rates tell the real truth; the USD price is just a packaged facade.
XRP has dropped 13.8% against BTC in 20 days, LINK is even worse, down nearly 20%.
This isn’t just a big drop, it’s continuous bleeding.
Big drops attract bottom-fishers, but bleeding means no one wants to catch the fall.
ETH has dropped 9.4% against BTC in 60 days, and another 9.7% in 20 days, continuously declining over two months.
Every rebound is a sharp altcoin bounce, followed by an even faster fall.
I think the reason is simple: money is moving out of altcoins into Bitcoin, not rotating within altcoins.
Altcoins’ USD prices hold up because BTC supports the overall market.
Once BTC stalls, altcoins will continue to fall.
Now DOGE against BTC is only at 9% of its range, just one step away from its floor.
Breaking below means a new low, and that’s when real bleeding starts.
I’d rather hold Bitcoin and wait than catch altcoins’ falling knives at this point.

Crypto Newsflash: Strategy increased its BTC holdings by 267 last week, preferred stock repurchase authorization raised to $3 billion
The latest 8-K filing submitted to the SEC today and data disclosed by Michael Saylor reveal that behind this seemingly routine weekly report lies a major tactical shift in Saylor's capital operations focus
Last week, only $22.1 million was spent to increase BTC holdings by 267 coins. The total holdings now reach 848,517 BTC, with a total cost of about $64.02 billion, and an average holding price of $75,446 per coin
During the same period, $193.1 million was spent to repurchase and cancel about 1.9388 million shares of its own STRC
The board officially raised the authorization limit for the "Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program" from $2 billion to $3 billion
The money spent on repurchasing preferred stock is nearly 9 times that spent on buying Bitcoin💵
Saylor's core belief has never been just hoarding coins, but maximizing BTC yield and capital structure arbitrage,
When MSTR common stock premium is extremely high, the optimal solution is to print shares to buy BTC;
But when bond market volatility causes its own digital credit securities to trade at a discount or high yield in the secondary market, repurchasing its own preferred stock at a dollar discount is equivalent to directly achieving risk-free net asset value enhancement.$CT has been positioned from 0.3 to just above 0.4, with gains exceeding 25%. It seems profitable, but actually hides a short squeeze risk.
This rally is mainly driven by short covering, combined with expected airdrop hype, causing trading volume to surge sharply in a short time. However, once the short liquidation wave ends and buying momentum falters, the price may quickly fall back.
What’s more concerning is that the top ten holders control about 86% of the supply, indicating highly concentrated holdings and significant selling pressure risk.
Therefore, I chose to take half the profits first and set stop-losses on the remaining position. For such a highly volatile coin, locking in gains and managing risk promptly is more important than greedily chasing the final leg of the rally.
#BTCETHInflowsWatch 白宫加密主管走了，散户的钱该往哪放？ 10月14日，白宫总统数字资产顾问委员会执行主任Patrick Witt借调期满离任。这意味着，这个负责协调美国加密政策的白宫核心团队，目前已经没有公开确认的工作人员。 这不是孤立事件。今年3月，加密与AI事务负责人David Sacks离任；7月，副主任Harry Jung离开。Witt是今年第三位走人的白宫加密要员。人员流失的背后，是他主导的《CLARITY法案》在参议院遭遇阻击——9月15日程序性投票以49比50未能推进。分歧焦点在于稳定币收益处理，以及如何应对总统特朗普本人庞大的加密资产利益冲突。 对市场而言，这件事的直接冲击有限。Witt离任本身不会立刻左右价格，但它印证了一个更关键的事实：立法层面的催化剂，至少要推迟到11月3日中期选举之后，甚至更晚。在10月28日美联储会议之前，主导市场的将是美债收益率、油价和ETF资金流向，而不是监管消息。 对散户来说，这给出了一个清晰的方向：别把仓位押在“监管利好”的预期上。白宫加密政策团队实际上已人去楼空，立法路径暂时堵塞。接下来一段时间，市场定价权更多交还给宏观数据。控制仓位，盯住美债收益率和The storage sector collectively surged tonight, with SK Hynix on OKEx directly hitting 143, approaching a new high for the period. Leading the charge was SanDisk, which doubled with a 15% increase; the entire storage chain is moving.
The driver is all new catalysts today: South Korean Finance Minister Hong Nam-ki made statements at the IMF annual meeting over the weekend, saying the semiconductor boom will last at least until 2027, with a large supply-demand gap; Samsung is reported to be using TSMC's 3nm process to make next-generation custom HBM base dies for Nvidia, and Nvidia also requires Hynix and Micron to unify their processes; the South Korean government today also released 2 trillion KRW to support Hynix's supply chain. These three events combined have triggered a capital rush.
Looking at the market: OKEx xSKHY current price is 142.81, 24h range 132-143.25, MA5/30/120 bullish, super trend at 141.17 below, RSI 62 not overheated. My judgment: HBM leader plus policy endorsement plus earnings expectations (Hynix earnings on 10/28), this wave is a fundamental resonance, not pure sentiment, but the 143 resistance line has been tested for several days; whether it breaks is key.
Watch two signals: a volume breakout above 143 is a new step up; if it doesn't hold, wait for a pullback to 138.5 support; also watch for continuity of HBM supply chain news before the 10/28 earnings.

Not investment advice, DYOR $BTC $ETH $SOL Is it like replaying the August script?
The recent rhythm of BTC, ETH, and SOL indeed shows shadows of the bull market kickoff in August: prolonged narrow-range consolidation grinding the bottom, bulls' patience being worn thin, shorts gradually accumulating positions, and a chip structure similar to that time. BTC first stabilizes the key support, ETH then shows signs of stabilization, and SOL, as a high Beta asset, has the greatest elasticity and often leads once the market starts.
There are also logical similarities: macro expectations combined with capital rotation. If BTC breaks through key resistance, it easily triggers concentrated short liquidations, forming a short squeeze rally. In August, shorts were crowded, and after the breakout, a chain of liquidations rapidly pushed the market higher.
But history does not repeat exactly. The core driver in August was the liquidity boost from U.S. Treasury bonds, which is not entirely the same this round; similar patterns do not guarantee replication. The focus now is whether spot buying can take over and whether SOL can show independent strength, which will determine the sustainability of the rebound.

⬛️ For Meta, I chose Yes, for the following reasons
The Meta threshold is $6.31
▪️ MarketBeat's aggregated analyst EPS expectation is about $6.58 🔺
▪️ FXEmpire's earnings forecast page shows an EPS consistent with the threshold
In terms of business, Q3 revenue is expected to be about $63.3 billion, with an estimated year-over-year growth of 24% and advertising business still supporting growth
Based on the above, I decided on Yes
⬛️ For SPCX, I chose No, for the following reasons
The SPCX threshold is $0.17
▪️ TipRanks' earnings preview gives an EPS expectation of about $0.14 🔻
▪️ Investors' reported forecast range is about $0.14 to $0.23
Overall, there is a clear divergence in SPCX's expected distribution, and the $0.17 threshold is not a low bar, already higher than many analysts' forecasts

It's not news when brokers let you buy crypto; it's news when they let you withdraw it.
▪️ Schwab Crypto launched in April this year; previously, you could only buy and sell BTC and ETH, but not transfer out
▪️ Now starting phased rollout of transfers in and out between eligible clients and external wallets
▪️ Client assets of $13.33 trillion, 40.3 million active brokerage accounts
▪️ At launch in April, figures were $11.9 trillion and 37 million, both numbers have increased in six months
▪️ CEO previously said SOL, AVAX, and LINK would be added by year-end
▪️ Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank is preparing institutional custody, and Standard Chartered has opened direct trading in the UAE
▪️ The three are not opening the same door: trading, custody, withdrawal
The divergence is not whether traditional institutions accept crypto, but at which stage they open the "exit".
When you can only buy and sell, you hold an exposure on the broker's books; only when you can withdraw to a self-custody wallet does ownership truly change hands.
The direction is "custody and transfers before trading volume" — conditions: transfers in and out cover non-eligible clients; invalid if limited to internal transfers only, no external addresses accepted. BTC合约网格拿单心得：这个网格目前拿了321天，投入30000u $BTC，目前赚32936u，收益率109.78%。我从来没动过，没事我也不去看。

On Thursday, PPI was also higher than expected. Normally, Bitcoin should continue to fall. The 80,000 level has already been broken once; on the 15th, the intraday low reached 79,711, and $948 million worth of positions were liquidated that day, 90% of which were long positions. But today, it stands above 82,000. If you were watching the 80,000 line last week, seeing it broken and then recovered, you probably felt a very familiar sensation—not relief, nor panic, but a hesitation of “should fall but doesn’t.” Today, I want to talk not about the price, but about those things beneath the price that are becoming quiet. The first thing to quiet down is selling pressure. Glassnode has a data point worth carefully reviewing today: the proportion of Bitcoin mid-term holders transferring to exchanges dropped from 40.4% in June to 4.4%. A 36 percentage point drop. Mid-term holders are roughly those holding coins for 6 to 12 months. In June, four out of every ten of these holders were moving coins to exchanges. Now, fewer than five out of every hundred. At the same time, the net inflow trend of whales to exchanges turned negative in late August. The selling pressure that lasted over three months during the summer has basically been released. Sellers have become fewer. But the data also offers a very restrained comment: this helps stabilize volatility, while also highlighting the market’s lack of new buying demand.BTC market dominance returns to 60%, and the days of the leading mainstream coins are actually better!
This market rebound shows a very obvious phenomenon: when BTC drops, it can quickly pull back, but many altcoins fall and remain stagnant for a long time.
Now BTC's market dominance is back near 60%, meaning that out of every 100 units of market value in the entire crypto market, about 60 units are concentrated in Bitcoin.
Combined with recent funds clearly favoring BTC, old fork coins like $BCH, which are tied to BTC, have followed the rebound with support. I opened a 50x position at 277.1, now the mark price is 278.7, with an unrealized profit of +28.87%.
My judgment is very clear: in the upcoming short-term market, BTC is very likely still the main player, with funds flowing back to the strong mainstream, so go long on the leading coins accordingly.
Many retail investors are hoping for an altcoin season, but the truly strong force in the market is still BTC. When BTC rises, the leading coins follow; altcoins that rose earlier are actually falling harder.
Funds concentrated on the leaders indicate the market currently recognizes BTC's relative strength more. To go long, focus on the BTC mainstream; small coins that rose earlier are actually the hardest hit by fund withdrawals. #特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点
First, the viewpoint on $xTSLA — meeting the target is the hardest / NO
Known: Delivered 486,532 vehicles (-2.1% YoY, but about 5% above the ~462k expectation); energy storage 13.7 GWh (+9.6%, below some optimistic expectations).
Key validation points:
① Can automotive gross margin stand above 17% (Q2 16.83%, down 4.26 percentage points QoQ);
② Risk of energy gross margin decline;
③ Capex surged to ~$7.5B (last year $2.3B), FCF under pressure (Q2 already -$1.09B);
④ Narrative updates on Robotaxi/FSD/Optimus;
⑤ Regulatory credit decline + Cybertruck weakness (other models -47.9%).
Gross margin QoQ recovery + positive Q4 guidance → rebound; further gross margin decline
So I tend to think: revenue roughly flat, slightly negative. SOL is currently trading around $105–106, rebounding about 2.6% from the 24-hour low of $100.43, but the dense moving average resistance zone at $107–110 is evident. The daily MACD momentum has returned to zero, indicating a counter-trend recovery within a mid-term correction, with no confirmed trend reversal yet.
Today's marginal change lies in the divergence between "ETF outflows vs on-chain expansion": last week, SOL ETF recorded a historic largest single-week outflow of $25.52 million, but this only accounts for 1.5% of the fund's assets, mainly due to interest rate expectations rather than a deterioration in Solana's fundamentals; meanwhile, Circle minted 250 million USDC on Solana today, with RWA scale soaring from $700 million to $4.3 billion in one year, and application revenue in the past 30 days reaching $193.1 million, ranking first among all chains. The Alpenglow upgrade is still scheduled for October 21; if finality is compressed from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds as planned, that will be the key checkpoint to test whether the short-term narrative can be fulfilled.Ethereum ETFs saw $320M in weekly outflows — but here’s the detail most headlines miss: roughly $299M came from a single fund. That’s not the same as every institutional buyer abandoning ETH. Before calling it a broad loss of confidence, I’d want to see whether flows spread across other funds this week.Observation: US stock market opening capital outflow, BTC and ETH rebound synchronously
During the US stock market opening session, the crypto market experienced a synchronous rally
BTC is currently at 82205, up 1.32%, ETH broke through the 2400 mark, now at 2407.9, up 1.25%
Both have a 24-hour trading volume exceeding 5.6 billion, with volume showing signs of recovery.
This rebound is directly related to the capital outflow effect from the US stock market opening. The macro suppression caused by earlier-than-expected CPI and PPI has been somewhat digested in the market.
As trading becomes active after the US stock market opens, some short-term funds choose to flow back into risk assets, driving the oversold market repair.
Technically, BTC has retaken 82000, ETH has reclaimed the 2400 integer level, boosting short-term bullish sentiment.
However, the underlying logic of high macro interest rates remains unchanged; the current rally is still a repair trend under stock competition.
It is necessary to closely monitor the continued trend after the US stock market opens and the breakthrough situation in the dense area of trapped positions above, to guard against a sharp rise followed by a fall. #Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期
Meta is about to release its earnings report on October 21.
Right now, the whole market is watching it closely to see if the huge money it has poured into AI and the revenue from ads can cover this massive gap. Wall Street is no longer buying the hype; Q2 revenue was 60.8 billion, and Q3 guidance is 61 to 64 billion. The numbers look okay, but if ad growth slows even a bit and capital expenditures don’t come down, the stock price is bound to shake.
What’s the impact?
First, the AI concept shakeout will get harsher. For giants like Meta, the market will dig into their books to see how they actually make money. Those AI concept coins in crypto that only have whitepapers and no real products will die once exposed. Capital will completely abandon pure concepts and only recognize projects with real computing power and cash flow.
Second, the emotional pressure on tech stocks will spread. If Meta gets hit because of high spending, Nasdaq will weaken, and Bitcoin will also likely face short-term bloodletting. Plus, with ETF funds flowing out, the market is already short on money, so any external disturbance can create a big hole.
Here’s my take:
Don’t bet on the earnings report, and don’t blindly trust any perfect indicators. Whether it’s US stocks or crypto, the core now is to see who has real substance.
What do you think? $BTC $ONDO
ONDO has not yet turned positive; why hasn't the real asset narrative automatically followed the rebound?
In the morning market snapshot, the spot price fell about 0.77% over 24 hours, ranging between 0.4113 and 0.4455, with the price positioned at about 74% of the range.
There are still transmission links between product demand and governance token buying pressure. Even if yield-bearing assets attract attention, the product scale cannot be directly equated to token cash flow; risk appetite and supply also affect valuation.
If 0.4455 is reclaimed and relative performance against BTC improves, the recovery assessment can be raised; if 0.4113 is lost, the narrative premium should be lowered. Price recovery is not evidence that expense allocation has been realized, and scale growth does not automatically generate yield.【ETH surges then falls back, the 2400 level lost and regained】
The most critical signal today is that ETH quickly gave back gains after a brief surge, with the short-term neckline support at 2400 breached intraday.
1. What changed? ETH rebounded intraday to around 2428 but then quickly dropped back to about 2408, turning the 2400 level from support into a contested zone.
2. Why is this noteworthy? Market sentiment just shifted to greed (index 59), but ETH ETF saw a net outflow of $320 million last week, creating a clear divergence between capital flow and sentiment, with the rebound lacking spot buying support.
3. Which observation is favored? It supports a "corrective rebound after a short squeeze" rather than a trend reversal. Recently, shorts dominated liquidations, and once the buying enthusiasm from bulls chasing prices pushed up by the short squeeze fades, the risk of pullback regains the upper hand.
Next, focus on whether bulls can reclaim the 2400 level and if open interest shows abnormal expansion. Under greedy sentiment, the battle for 2400 is just beginning—who will blink first? Feel free to discuss in the comments. $ETH 【Bitmine Sweeps Up Another 12,500 $ETH — What Does Buying Nearly 5% of Total Supply Mean?】
Over the past week, Bitmine increased its holdings by 12,535 ETH. As of October 18, its position reached 6.0415 million ETH, accounting for about 4.9% of the total ETH supply. This is no longer just a typical institutional buy: a single publicly listed company holding nearly one-twentieth of all ETH forces the market to consider the concentration of holdings.
Bitmine’s increased holdings indicate the company is actively accumulating, but this does not mean there was an equivalent net buy volume in the market during the same period, nor does it prove that retail investors, ETFs, or other institutions are following suit. To assess the strength of the buying pressure, one must look at the sources of its purchases, execution methods, and the concurrent capital flows in exchanges and spot markets.
Bitmine has already staked about 5.067 million ETH, roughly 84% of its holdings. This means a large portion of its tokens have entered the staking system, but staking does not equal permanent lock-up; exit mechanisms and potential future selling pressure still need to be considered.
I believe the continuous accumulation provides a genuine institutional demand signal for ETH, but the more concentrated a single company’s holdings are, the more the market needs to pay attention to its financing capacity and holding strategy. If future accumulation slows, staking scale decreases, or selling begins, today’s bullish narrative will need to be recalculated. $BTC Tonight's US stock market open: Dow slightly down, Nasdaq dozing off, but crypto stocks take the lead—Coinbase up 5.8%, Circle up 3.9%. BTC back to 82k, ETH above 2400, Fear & Greed index at 59: a bit greedy, but not overly so.
On the macro side, CPI/PPI stick like glutinous rice, December rate hike bets mostly settled, 10-year US Treasury nearing 5%. ETFs outflowed $910 million in two weeks, foreigners pulling out; whales crouching to buy—ETH swept 166,000 coins in three days, stablecoin inflows to exchanges surged 40%. In short: retail is bearish, big players are moving bags.
Derivatives hidden risk: $97.87 million BTC longs buried below 80k, liquidation price at 79,828; breaking below could trigger a chain reaction. Key levels to note: 80k is the bottom line, 84,246 is the pivot, only closing above it gives hope.
Bright note: this wave is a technical correction after a sharp drop, not the bull market starting gun. The real tailwind is the FOMC on October 27–28 and the midterm elections on November 3. Expect oscillation mainly between 80k–85k, position sizing is more precious than direction, don't chase highs, don't get carried away.
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ To pour some cold water first, I don't directly count "institutions being able to connect private chains" as a public chain demand explosion. Polygon announced the launch of CDK Besu, supporting banks and financial institutions to deploy private chains based on Hyperledger Besu, and connecting to other blockchains and their liquidity from the start through Agglayer. It currently supports deployment on the Ethereum mainnet. The tools are there, but there is still a barrier before institutions truly move their business over.
I'm cautious for two reasons. First, "supporting deployment" does not equal "already adopted"; this news does not provide the actual scale of institutional use, and the market tends to prematurely count technical availability as commercial implementation. Second, the ability to connect liquidity does not necessarily mean funds will flow out of private chains. My speculation is that if institutions set strict restrictions on asset circulation, the incremental public market brought by connectivity may be limited. This is progress for infrastructure, but it may not support too much imagination for market sentiment.
Of course, the bulls might be right: if we later see institutions continuously running real business and cross-chain usage generates verifiable demand, I will change my view and upgrade it from "just another deployment option" to "an effective business entry point." I'm not denying the technology; I just don't want to pay a premium for adoption that hasn't happened yet. Regarding this release, are people bullish or bearish? Is the lowered deployment threshold enough reason, or must we see actual cross-chain usage?Conclusion first: From 20:00 to 00:00 last night, this 4H candle for $AEON dropped from 0.040 to 0.0348, a decline of 12%, with a trading volume of 16.26 million coins—8 times the average volume.
This was not driven by the overall market. BTC was slightly volatile, ETH rose 1.4%, and the market did not experience a systemic crash. This $AEON K-line is its own issue.
Looking at the 4H structure:
- At 20:00: O=0.04047, H=0.04144, directly dropped to a low close at 0.03477. The upper shadow was exactly the highest point of the day—a typical "pump to lure buyers, then reverse sell-off."
- The following three 4H candles each had lower lows than the previous: 0.03477 → 0.03408 → 0.03554 → 0.0352. The downtrend continues, volume is shrinking, indicating the first wave of sellers has exited, now it’s low-volume turnover at the bottom.
16.26 million AEON, about $650,000 USD in selling pressure, concentrated within 4 hours. Given AEON’s daily trading volume ($14M/24h), this single period accounts for over 30%—not something retail investors can do.
This structure usually corresponds to bulk selling by holding addresses or passive stop-loss by market makers. Either way, it’s unfavorable for short-term holders.
Do you think $AEON can hold at 0.034?Sandisk Opening Analysis $SNDK
Sandisk's opening is a rebound from oversold repair, not a reversal. The fundamental long-term demand for AI storage still exists, but the heavy locked-in positions at high levels and the risk of peak gross margin remain uncertain, so chasing the highs is not recommended. The rebound should first watch for resistance; if it meets resistance at a high point, shorting opportunities can be considered.
#芯片股八连跌后反弹，AI交易能否修复？ [Storage stocks collectively surge, is this AI battle now about who has the bigger warehouse?]
At the opening of the U.S. stock market on October 19, the storage sector collectively strengthened: SanDisk $SNDK rose 4.6%, SK Hynix $SKHY rose 4.5%, Micron $MU rose 3.7%, Western Digital rose 3.1%, and Nvidia also rose 1.4%. The Nasdaq rose 0.9%, the S&P 500 rose 0.54%, while the Dow Jones slightly fell 0.05%. This doesn’t look like excitement across the entire market, but more like capital concentrating bets on specific links in the AI industry chain.
The higher AI computing power stacks, the bottleneck is no longer just the GPU. Both training and inference require high-speed storage and data throughput, so HBM, high-performance NAND, and enterprise-grade SSDs have attracted attention. Storage chips also have cyclical attributes; demand growth combined with tight supply can push both performance and pricing upward.
However, this surge also has another background: storage stocks had just experienced a significant pullback, with the market worried about AI investment returns, financing costs, and competition from Chinese manufacturers. The rebound on October 19 is supported both by industry demand and by oversold recovery.
For now, don’t take a single day of collective gains as confirmation of a new major uptrend.
Focus next on two things: whether storage prices and manufacturers’ performance can continue to exceed expectations, and whether cloud providers will keep increasing investment in AI infrastructure. If stock prices keep rising but demand and profit expectations start to cool, this rally could still collapse.JPM couldn't stand it anymore: Intel was upgraded after a 14% plunge last week, rising 4% pre-market.
Here's what happened:
JPMorgan upgraded $INTC from Underweight to Neutral (target price remains $85): from $142.35 at the end of June to $89.85 last Friday, a 37% drop balanced the risk-reward.
After Chen Liwu took office, execution improved, and AI workloads pushed EPS estimates up to 2027.
Pre-market $INTC reached $93.7, with Nvidia, Micron, and AMD following suit; SOXX +3.5%, aiming to end a 9-day losing streak.
My take:
This isn't bullish, it's "can't fall further": the target price $85 is still below the current price, JPM doesn't dare to say buy.
But the 37% drop has squeezed shorts enough, a rebound could come anytime, just don't chase the highs.
What to do/when it fails:
See if $90 support holds before deciding, don't chase highs; if it breaks below $85, this upgrade logic fails.
Last week's AI infrastructure financing worries were the root cause of the selloff; any more surprises in earnings season will be like catching a flying knife.
The above is just personal observation and not investment advice.
If $INTC rebounds to $100, will you take profits or hold for $120?
$INTC $NVDA $SOXX
#USStockEarningsSeason #ChipSemiconductor[This time Japan is not talking about crypto trading, but directly targeting the entire financial system]
The minutes of the on-chain finance forum released by the Japan Financial Services Agency send a very clear signal: Japan wants to advance blockchain from crypto asset trading to government bonds, securities settlement, and everyday payments. On September 30, the Financial Services Agency, together with relevant departments, held the first forum to discuss the development of on-chain finance in the AI era, with government bonds on-chain also listed as a follow-up research direction.
What is even more worth watching is the implementation path. The Japan Financial Services Agency has already supported a trade settlement pilot project, planning to put trade documents on-chain and explore yen stablecoin payment connections jointly promoted with major Japanese banks. The focus is not on adding another chain, but on whether documents, funds, and settlements can truly be integrated.
I am optimistic about the long-term significance of this, but it is not yet time to directly call it a boon for public chains.
Official support is for financial infrastructure experiments, which does not mean large-scale on-chain transactions have already occurred, nor does it imply that funds will flow to any particular token. What needs to be watched next is whether the pilot can move beyond the verification stage to truly generate transaction volume and stablecoin demand. The Japan Financial Services Agency starting to set the stage is a signal; whether enterprises are willing to use it and whether the business can run smoothly is the next hurdle.Is Musk going to give every American child SpaceX stock?
Today Musk dropped a big move on X: next year, he will give the SpaceX stock he holds to every child in the United States. He added: "This is just the first step in a series of future actions."
Currently, multiple media outlets interpret this as "one share per child." SpaceX's current stock price is around $146, and there are about 72 to 73 million children under 18 in the U.S. Roughly estimating by this measure, the total value is close to $10.5 billion to $10.7 billion.
But this matter is still at the personal statement stage and no formal implementation plan exists yet.
Key facts:
1. SpaceX is already public.
SpaceX will be listed on Nasdaq on June 12, 2026, with the ticker SPCX and an issue price of $135.
2. The scale of the stock gift is large but not fatal to Musk's holdings.
Musk holds a large amount of SpaceX shares; if he really gives away about 73 million shares this time, it accounts for about 1% of his personal holdings.
3. Implementation is not easy.
This includes whether board approval is needed, whether the SEC will review it, how minors open custodial accounts, how gift taxes are handled, and whether distribution will be through "Trump accounts"—none of these have clear answers yet.
4. Children receiving stock does not mean they can spend it immediately.
Minors usually cannot directly hold securities accounts; guardians need to hold them through UTMA/UGMA custodial accounts. Also, selling in the future may involve capital gains tax.
Therefore, this is more like a high-leverage public statement: it looks charitable but simultaneously carries brand, public opinion, political, and capital market communication effects.
What impact will this have on SpaceX's stock price?
In the short term, this is a sentiment-driven positive.
SpaceX is already a company with a very strong narrative: rocket launches, Starlink, AI computing power, satellite internet, Mars plans—each ignites market imagination. Musk throwing out the image of "every child becoming a SpaceX shareholder" will further strengthen its social attention and retail investor goodwill. After the news, SPCX also rose in pre-market trading.
But in the medium term, the stock price must return to fundamentals.
SpaceX's current valuation is not cheap. Its Q2 2026 revenue is about $7.8 billion, growing rapidly year-over-year, but it is still operating at a loss; meanwhile, AI computing power, Starship, and Starlink expansion all require huge capital expenditures.
In other words, the market's valuation already includes very high expectations for future AI, Starlink, and space infrastructure.
This stock gift itself will not directly increase company profits or immediately change financial data. Its bigger role is:
● Strengthening SpaceX's "everyone is a shareholder" narrative;
● Enhancing brand goodwill;
● Increasing retail investor recognition;
● Possibly reducing future regulatory and public opinion pressure;
● Binding the next generation to the SpaceX brand from an early age.
In other words, Musk uses about 1% of his holdings to exchange for a long-term brand asset covering tens of millions of families.
My view:
This is not charity in the traditional sense, nor simple market cap management, but a very Musk-style move:
Using equity as a medium to bind brand, political narrative, capital market sentiment, and next-generation users together.
For investors, in the short term, it can be understood as an emotional catalyst; but what really determines SpaceX's stock price are the following questions:
● Can AI computing power revenue continue to be realized?
● Can Starlink users and ARPU be maintained?
● Can Starship be reliably reused?
● Will huge capital expenditures continue to drag profits?
● How will lock-up pressure, regulatory risks, and merger rumors evolve?
In summary:
The stock gift is the face; fundamentals are the substance. Musk is giving away stock but buying narrative, recognition, and a moat. #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 $SPCX How many Bitcoins $BTC do all publicly listed companies in the world hold in total?
Just checked the data: a total of 1,286,722 Bitcoins are held. The top 100 hold 1,284,004, and all publicly listed companies outside the top 100 combined hold only 2,718.
Among these top 100 companies: MicroStrategy alone holds 848,517 Bitcoins. This accounts for 66% of the top 100.
And 66% of all publicly listed companies.

#OKXTraderVoices After talking about Bitcoin, let's talk about the US stock market. This week continues the Q3 earnings season, with particular attention on Elon Musk's companies SpaceX $SPCX and $TSLA Tesla. Since last week when he launched the flying car attracting a lot of market attention, the stock price effect still seems poor, and this week's earnings report will be the real test.
After market close on Tuesday, 10/20, SpaceX will release its earnings.
After market close on Wednesday, 10/21, Tesla will release its earnings.
On Thursday, 10/22, up to 1.3 billion shares of SpaceX will be unlocked.
On Saturday, 10/24, about 328.4 million shares will expire, with the first trading day being next Monday, 10/26.
Based on past experience, Musk often manages market value intentionally or unintentionally (within SEC compliance) by releasing news about cool high-tech, new infrastructure, and other positive developments when stock performance is poor. Obviously, the current stock performance of SPCX and TSLA is not good, so his flying car and stock donations are more likely a traffic-attracting hedge.
Looking at the actual earnings, both companies roughly meet expectations. SPCX only profits from Starlink, with market revenue expectations around $12.89 billion. This time, it will be important to see if the AI segment's spending and revenue have improved.
If earnings beat expectations, the stock will likely rebound above 150+ to leave room for subsequent selling pressure. If earnings miss expectations combined with massive unlocking, SPCX will probably return to the 13X range in the short term, near the IPO price.
Also, the two earnings reports are released back-to-back, so...Elon Musk said today on X that next year he plans to give one share of SpaceX stock he personally holds to every child in the United States, and he mentioned this is just the first wave. As for what age counts as a child, how the shares will be distributed, and when they will be delivered, he did not specify.
SpaceX closed just above $146 last Friday. There are about 72 million people under 18 in the U.S.; one share each would total over $10 billion. This is his own stock, not new shares issued by the company, so existing shareholders won’t be diluted. He personally holds nearly half of the company’s shares, and the shares given away would be less than 1% of the total shares outstanding, so his voting power basically remains unchanged.
This announcement came shortly after Anthropic said it would put 5% of its shares into a charitable foundation. Musk thinks it’s better to give shares directly to ordinary people. Currently, the U.S. has “Trump accounts” where donated stocks are usually locked for five years; whether Musk will use this approach is still undecided.
Regarding the stock price, the company itself hasn’t fundamentally improved or worsened. In the short term, the topic might attract more attention; but by saying he plans to give away more shares later, he is effectively telling the market in advance that more shares will be released. If there is a five-year lockup, very few people can sell now; once the lockup ends, tens of millions of people holding small amounts might start selling gradually. Ultimately, the stock’s value will depend on who receives the shares, when they receive them, and what the stock price is on that day.#俄美柴油合同推进，签约后15至20天或抵美
Diesel could arrive in 15 to 20 days, but the 15 days haven't started counting yet.
▪️ Novak 10/18: Russian diesel will enter the US market 15 to 20 days after contract signing
▪️ The US Department of Energy has identified the transaction parties and buyers; commercial terms are still under negotiation — contract not yet signed
▪️ The first batch will immediately release 300,000 tons, followed by 500,000 tons next month, totaling 800,000 tons
▪️ 300,000 tons is about 2.2 million barrels, equivalent to four to five product tankers
▪️ 10/15 TASS estimate "at least 2 to 3 weeks," consistent with today's range
▪️ 10/19 Brent fell about 1.5%, closing near $108
The disagreement is not whether the diesel can arrive, but that the "15 to 20 days" count starts from the signing day, not from today.
Signing, loading, crossing the Atlantic, unloading — all four stages must fit within these 15 to 20 days. If negotiations drag for a week, the arrival date shifts back by a week.
800,000 tons is the total volume over two months. The market today is selling "it's coming," not "how much has arrived."
The direction is "geopolitical premium eases first, supply premium arrives later" — conditions: contract signed within October; invalid if terms collapse or sanctions tighten again.Just saw this post, and I almost took “large position” to mean “accurate judgment” 😂 I've been in the circle for a year, and messages with big numbers like this still easily make me pause. But after thinking about it, the size of the funds and whether the judgment is reliable seem to be two different things.
According to Lookonchain monitoring, a certain whale has made a large long position in BTC and ETH, with a total long position size of $140.88 million, including 1,236 BTC (about $102.2 million) and 15,928 ETH (about $38.67 million).
My understanding is that this is more like a snapshot of the position and cannot yet be taken as proof of new market buying; I’m not sure if that’s correct. The data doesn’t provide the entry time, so the current position size doesn’t equal how much money just entered the market; it also doesn’t provide leverage or other positions, so looking only at the long position, we can’t judge how much directional risk it overall carries.
So for someone like me who is still learning, the biggest use of this information is to remind me to gather more data, rather than to guess price movements based on it. If there is also hedging, then the bullishness expressed by this long position might not be as strong as the headline suggests—this is just my speculation.
What I haven’t figured out yet is: when experienced veterans see this kind of whale long position info, do they first check the entry records or check for hedging positions? Which one better helps avoid misinterpretation?
