Roman Storm and the XRP army aren’t happy former SEC boss Jay Clayton is Trump’s new AI czar, Peter Brandt flips bullish and says Bitcoin may reach as high as $600K by 2029.

Need to know what happened in crypto today? Here is the latest news on daily trends and events impacting Bitcoin price, blockchain, DeFi, Web3 and crypto regulation.

TL;DR

• Fiserv’s digital-asset platform is live, with Bank of North Dakota’s Roughrider Coin as its first production use case.
• Roughrider Coin transactions are processed on Solana, while VersaBank serves as issuer and Fireblocks supplies tokenization and security infrastructure.
• The deployment gives Solana a live role inside a regulated interbank payment product rather than another retail crypto application.

Solana has picked up a very different kind of workload: moving a bank-backed stablecoin inside a US financial institution network.

Fiserv said on October 1 that its digital-asset platform is now live with financial-institution clients. The first production use case is Roughrider Coin, a dollar-backed stablecoin created for Bank of North Dakota and designed to make interbank money movement more efficient across the state.

Transactions run on Solana.

Roughrider Coin is not simply a token deployed by an anonymous smart-contract team.

VersaBank serves as issuer, Fireblocks provides digital-asset infrastructure and tokenization services, and Fiserv connects the product into financial-institution systems. Solana handles blockchain transaction processing underneath that structure.

That division of roles is what makes the deployment interesting.

Traditional banks are unlikely to replace their entire technology stack with a crypto wallet. They are much more likely to adopt blockchain settlement when it is embedded inside vendors, compliance systems and operational processes they already understand.

Bitcoinist has followed the same pattern in other markets. SoFi launched a bank-issued stablecoin across Ethereum and Solana, while Western Union rolled out USDPT on Solana.

The network’s reputation was built heavily around fast trading, memecoins and decentralized exchanges.

Stablecoins are changing the composition of activity. Bitcoinist reported this summer that Solana’s stablecoin market cap crossed $15 billion, giving payment and treasury applications a much deeper liquidity base.

A state-linked banking use case pushes the network another step in that direction.

It does not mean Bank of North Dakota is speculating on SOL. The blockchain is being used as settlement infrastructure beneath a dollar-denominated financial product.

One bank stablecoin is useful evidence, but Fiserv’s distribution is what could make the story much larger.

The company supplies technology to financial institutions at scale. If its digital-asset platform becomes something banks can adopt through an existing vendor relationship, blockchain settlement stops being a bespoke innovation project and starts looking more like another banking feature.

Roughrider Coin is the first live use case. The number of institutions that follow will tell us whether it becomes a template.

TL;DR

• WISeKey’s redomiciliation from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands became legally effective on October 1 through a merger into WISeQey Corp.
• Existing WISeKey securities continue trading through October 2, with WISeQey ordinary shares expected to begin trading under WQEY on Nasdaq and SIX on October 5.
• The company says its operating headquarters and underlying businesses remain in Switzerland.

WISeKey has completed the legal restructuring that turns the listed cybersecurity group into WISeQey Corp., setting up a new WQEY ticker for next week.

The cross-border merger became legally effective October 1, with Swiss-based WISeKey absorbed into its British Virgin Islands subsidiary. WISeQey is the surviving company.

The corporate domicile changes. The business says its operational headquarters and place of effective management will remain in Switzerland.

WISeKey says its current Nasdaq ADSs and Swiss Class B shares will continue trading through the close on October 2.

WISeQey ordinary shares are then expected to begin trading under the ticker WQEY on both Nasdaq and the SIX Swiss Exchange at the market open on October 5.

The transaction also changes how existing securities convert. Each WISeKey ADS is due to be exchanged for one-half of one WISeQey ordinary share, while each Class B share generally converts into one WISeQey ordinary share unless the holder elected the alternative unlisted Class B structure.

This is a corporate reorganisation, not a token migration.

WISeKey operates across cybersecurity, digital identity, semiconductors, space IoT and blockchain-connected products. Its wider group has also been pushing into post-quantum security and decentralised infrastructure.

That puts it near several themes crypto investors follow, but the October 1 event itself is about jurisdiction and listing structure.

Public and regulated markets are already absorbing more digital-asset exposure, from CFTC-regulated crypto derivatives to tokenized equity platforms.

WISeQey’s direct ordinary-share listing belongs to the corporate side of that convergence rather than the token side. Similar convergence is showing up in tokenized bank-deposit infrastructure, where conventional financial claims are being moved onto programmable rails.

The redomiciliation is effective now, but WQEY trading is expected to begin October 5.

That timing matters for holders because a legal merger date and a first trading date are not the same event.

The company says the restructuring is intended to simplify its public-market structure while preserving its international footprint. Investors will soon see the visible result in the ticker. The underlying test, as always, is whether the new structure makes the business easier to finance and operate rather than simply giving it a new corporate wrapper.

TL;DR

• Polymath and Chicago-based CineCity Studios are exploring a platform for financing independent film through regulated digital securities.
• Polymath would provide issuance, investor onboarding, compliance and lifecycle infrastructure, while CineCity contributes production-industry access.
• The platform is being explored; it is not yet a launched investment marketplace.

Real-world asset tokenization is moving into a category that rarely appears beside Treasury bills and private credit: film production.

Polymath and CineCity Studios announced on October 1 that they will explore a tokenized film-investment platform designed to connect independent productions with investors through regulated digital securities.

The idea attacks a genuine financing problem. Independent films often rely on bespoke private deals, a small network of backers and complicated legal structures that make participation difficult to broaden.

Under the proposed model, Polymath would provide the technical infrastructure for issuing digital securities, onboarding investors, managing compliance workflows and maintaining investor records over the life of an investment.

CineCity would bring the production side. Its Chicago campus has hosted work connected to major studios and entertainment companies, giving the project a route into an industry where financing is often fragmented.

The blockchain component does not magically make film investment liquid or low risk. A token representing a regulated security still sits behind real legal rights, project economics and transfer restrictions.

What tokenization can potentially improve is administration: who owns what, who is allowed to buy, how transfers are recorded and how distributions are managed.

That broader infrastructure build is visible in the SEC’s crypto fundraising proposal and its movement toward a clearer digital-asset taxonomy.

Tokenized Treasuries and money-market products were a natural starting point because they already have standardized cash flows and well-understood legal structures.

Film finance is much less uniform. Returns can depend on production budgets, distribution agreements, box office performance, streaming rights and a long chain of contractual claims.

That complexity is exactly why the Polymath-CineCity experiment is interesting. If regulated tokenization can work for an asset class this bespoke, it broadens the range of markets that might eventually move onto programmable ownership rails.

The same shift toward onchain capital-market plumbing is visible in projects such as 24-hour trading infrastructure and institutional tokenized securities.

Neither company says the platform is already open to investors.

The announcement describes a collaboration to explore the model. Regulatory structure, product design, project selection and distribution still have to turn that idea into an investable offering.

That status makes the story more credible, not less. Tokenization has no shortage of grand claims. A measured pilot around a difficult real-world financing market may ultimately tell us more about where the technology is useful than another promise to put everything onchain overnight.

TL;DR

• Visa says roughly 17% of its stablecoin-linked card volume in fiscal 2026 year-to-date came from business and commercial card programs.
• The payments company now supports more than 160 stablecoin-linked card programs across consumer and business use cases.
• The data suggests stablecoins are spreading beyond crypto spending cards into treasury, settlement and cross-border business payments.

Stablecoin cards are beginning to look less like a consumer crypto experiment and more like business payment infrastructure.

Visa published new data on October 1 showing that approximately 17% of stablecoin-linked card volume in its fiscal 2026 year-to-date period came from business and commercial card programs. The company says it now supports more than 160 stablecoin-linked card programs across consumer, business and commercial use cases.

The percentage matters because companies use cards very differently from retail users.

A consumer may use a stablecoin-linked card because it makes a crypto balance spendable at ordinary merchants.

A business may be solving a different problem: cross-border settlement, treasury management, supplier payments or moving money between systems that do not share the same banking hours.

Visa says those use cases are gaining traction as financial institutions and payment providers explore stablecoins as infrastructure rather than as speculative assets.

The pattern is already visible elsewhere in payment infrastructure. Visa itself has already moved stablecoin settlement deeper into institutional treasury operations, while Toss Bank has tested Solana-based remittance rails.

The common denominator is not a new token price cycle. It is money movement.

Stablecoins can settle onchain, but most businesses still operate in a world of bank accounts, invoices, card networks and conventional accounting systems.

Card programs create a bridge. A company can hold or receive digital dollars while still spending through merchant infrastructure that already exists globally.

That hybrid model is likely to be important during the transition period because it does not require every supplier or employee to become a blockchain user.

Regulation will still shape how quickly the model spreads. In Europe, issuers are working inside MiCA and exchanges have already adjusted which stablecoins they support. NewsBTC’s coverage of Circle bringing EURC to Base shows how regulated stablecoin distribution and blockchain liquidity are beginning to reinforce each other.

Consumer activity still makes up the majority of Visa’s stablecoin-linked card volume.

The significance of the 17% figure is that business usage is now large enough to measure as a distinct part of the network rather than a rounding error.

If the share keeps climbing, stablecoins may become most important not because shoppers choose to pay with crypto, but because businesses quietly use tokenized money underneath familiar payment products.

That would be a much less visible form of adoption, and potentially a much larger one.

Most retail traders on Polymarket lose money. A Galaxy Research study of 2.9 million human-paced accounts found that more than 69% finished below break-even. The group recorded aggregate losses of $338.9 million.

The research used Polymarket’s full on-chain history, covering positions, entry prices, holding periods, as well as payouts. Galaxy excluded 125,429 accounts that averaged more than 50 orders per active trading day, treating them as likely automated. These accounts made up just 4.1% of wallets but accounted for 80.8% of all orders.

Behavior of Polymarket Traders

Among the remaining accounts, the median retail account lost around $3, which indicates that most losses were relatively small, while a smaller group lost thousands. Galaxy also found that losing money was linked to higher churn. About 15.2% of accounts did not trade again within 30 days after a loss, compared with 6.1% after a win.

The study also examined whether traders increased risk after winning or losing. Both groups usually returned with slightly smaller positions, but traders reduced risk less after a win.

Specialization was another major finding. Around 44% of traders focused more than 60% of their activity on one topic. However, specialists were slightly less likely to be profitable than generalists. Only 28% of specialists finished profitably, compared with 30.4% of generalists.

Sports made up the largest specialist group and had the lowest profitability rate. Tech and science specialists performed better, with 41.2% finishing profitably. Galaxy said this could reflect stronger subject knowledge, although the data cannot establish why these traders performed better.

Profitable traders also tended to make larger bets. They also traded more frequently. Holding time, however, did not show a clear link with profitability. Galaxy’s research covered Polymarket’s international platform, not its separate US exchange. It also noted an important limitation: the analysis tracks wallet addresses rather than individual people. A trader using multiple wallets could therefore appear as several accounts.

Legal Woes

The legal problems around prediction markets are starting to pile up as platforms like Polymarket expand into more countries and markets. In the US, cities and states are increasingly arguing that contracts on sports results, player stats, and other uncertain outcomes look a lot like ordinary gambling. Baltimore, for example, sued Polymarket and Kalshi in August, claiming that both platforms were offering sports bets without the licenses required in Maryland.

New York followed in September, suing Polymarket’s US arm over alleged unlicensed gambling and claims that users aged 18 to 20 could trade, despite the state’s 21-year minimum age for mobile sports betting. The legal questions go beyond the US.

South Korean police opened cases against 26 Polymarket users and referred 18 to prosecutors over about $12.7 million in bets. Authorities there are examining whether its trading should be treated as illegal gambling under Korean law.

The International Monetary Fund has approved a disbursement worth SDR 101.96 million ($138 million) for El Salvador after granting the government a waiver for its failure to meet a condition related to Bitcoin accumulation.

The IMF Executive Board completed the second and third reviews of El Salvador’s Extended Fund Facility program on October 1.

Limits for Bitcoin Accumulation

The IMF said El Salvador’s economy has performed better than expected, helped by improved security and stronger investor confidence. The country has also made progress in reducing fiscal imbalances. Its reserve and liquidity buffers have strengthened, while fiscal consolidation has broadly stayed on track. However, some program conditions were not met. One of them involved the government’s Bitcoin accumulation. The IMF granted waivers based on “corrective measures and renewed commitments” from the Salvadoran authorities.

Under the latest program commitments, El Salvador is not expected to accumulate more Bitcoin beyond documented donations. The IMF also said the government is working to reduce its role in BTC-related activities, which includes plans to improve transparency around public-sector crypto holdings and strengthen rules governing crypto-asset companies.

“Efforts will continue to reduce the state’s involvement in Bitcoin-related activities, strengthen crypto‑asset regulation and governance, and enhance transparency regarding public-sector crypto‑asset holdings. No further Bitcoin accumulation is envisaged beyond the documented donations.”

Chivo’s Government Role Shrinks

The government’s Chivo digital wallet has also moved toward private control. According to the IMF, majority ownership and control of Chivo have been transferred to a private operator. The remaining public-sector exposure should eventually be unwound.

El Salvador agreed to a 40-month IMF program in February 2025. The program provides total access of about $1.4 billion. The latest disbursement is part of that broader financial arrangement. The IMF said the country still needs to carry out further reforms to strengthen public finances, rebuild external reserves and improve financial-sector resilience. Pension and civil service reforms are also expected to move forward after earlier delays.

The IMF also called for stronger governance and greater transparency while highlighting areas such as public-sector reporting, beneficial ownership disclosures, asset declarations, and anti-money laundering rules. These reforms were crucial for maintaining economic stability.

In Trump AI news, The Wall Street Journal reported on October 3 that Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will lead the administration’s AI response and chair a new White House task force.

Clayton told the Journal that he will lead a White House task force to assess both the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence. The task force is expected to outline the federal government’s responsibilities regarding this technology, with a 120-day timeline.

“The president requested the formation of a group to ensure that we maintain our leadership in superintelligence and prioritize the interests of the American people,” Clayton stated.

According to a senior White House official, the team will be called the “Super Intelligence Force” (SI), a name that President Donald Trump prefers over the term AI. CNBC has reached out to the White House for comments but has not yet received a response.

This follows a meeting at the White House where leaders from AI companies met with Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson. After the meeting, developers said they supported voluntary safety standards that Trump described as “morally binding.”

While Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, advocate for federal regulations on advanced AI models, Trump has previously opposed any form of AI regulation.

The entity that sets AI rules will significantly influence valuations across the sector. The direction these valuations go is yet to be seen, but AI regulation seems a matter of when, not if.

Who is Jay Clayton, and Who Is He Replacing as Head of the AI Task Force?

Clayton previously served as Chair of the SEC and as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. In July, the Senate confirmed him as the Director of National Intelligence, a position that oversees 18 U.S. intelligence agencies.

Venture capitalist David Sacks previously managed AI and cryptocurrency responsibilities for the administration. In March, he announced that his tenure as a special government employee had ended.

Sacks also serves as a co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, an official advisory group of external experts focused on technology, scientific research, and innovation policy.

What Could This Task Force Mean for AI and Crypto?

Market Cap

24h 7d 30d 1y All Time

A 120-day timeline, the establishment of a formal task force, and a clear commitment to maintaining U.S. leadership in “superintelligence” have created expectations for forthcoming policy updates.

The mix of voluntary standards, Trump’s inclination toward limited regulation, and the new superintelligence task force could shape views of AI platforms, chip manufacturers, and software companies.

As this news dropped, Bitcoin was trading at $85,000, up +0.5% over the past 24 hours, while the broader crypto market was up +0.6% as the total crypto market cap shot back above $2.94 trillion.

The President’s meme coin, TRUMP, is down -0.5% since yesterday, trading for just over $2, and still -97% down from its all-time high of $73.43, a move that has caused politicians, analysts, and everyday investors to accuse Trump of pump-and-dumping his own token, something the President vehemently denies.

A British businessman was beaten with hammers by masked intruders who broke into his home and threatened to kill his heavily pregnant wife unless he handed over hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of cryptocurrency.

The couple, who have asked to remain anonymous, told the BBC that the attack was “horrific” and left them fearing for the life of their unborn child.

Police are investigating the incident, which took place at the couple’s home in Solihull in December last year. Crimestoppers is offering a £10,000 reward for information leading to those responsible.

The attack is being described as a so-called “wrench attack” — a form of physical coercion increasingly associated with cryptocurrency holders, in which criminals target investors directly to force them to surrender digital assets.

Hardware Wallet Targeted in Latest European Crypto Robbery

The man, referred to by the BBC as James, said three masked men forced their way into his home and subjected him to a 45-minute assault.

“The door gets pushed open, I can see gloves coming in, balaclavas,” he said. James attempted to fight back but was repeatedly struck in the face, head, and ribs with hammers.

His wife, who was seven months pregnant at the time, was held down on the sofa by one of the attackers. “He’s got a pillow over her face,” James said. “He’s literally suffocating her on the sofa. I can hear her screaming, ‘I can’t breathe’.”

The couple initially did not know what the attackers wanted. That changed when one of the men demanded that James unlock his phone and hand it over.

According to James, the attackers appeared to know he held cryptocurrency but did not know how to access his funds. Instead, they received instructions from another individual via a live video call.

“I can hear the guy on FaceTime saying: ‘Show me everything on his phone. Show me what apps he’s got’,” James said. The caller eventually identified a cryptocurrency wallet containing a substantial amount of funds.

The situation then escalated, with James saying the attackers threatened to stab his wife and kill their unborn child unless he transferred the cryptocurrency.

“He was basically saying: ‘Look, if you don’t send us this money now, we’re going to stab your wife in the stomach and kill your baby. We’re going to kill your wife’,” James said.

Hundreds of Thousands in Crypto Stolen from Terrified Couple

James eventually transferred his cryptocurrency savings, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, to a wallet controlled by the individual directing the attack remotely.

The criminals also stole several luxury Rolex watches before fleeing in a car driven by a getaway driver. James said he then heard the individual on the video call tell the attackers: “You can have 10 grand each but I am taking the rest.”

His wife, who was in her early thirties and pregnant with the couple’s third child, said she feared James had been killed after seeing him lying unresponsive on the floor.

“It was terrifying,” she said. The baby survived the ordeal and was subsequently born at full term.

Rise in Crypto Robbery Attacks, With Europe the Hotbed

Europe is becoming a no-go zone for crypto people.

The incident highlights the growing physical security risks faced by cryptocurrency holders as digital assets have become increasingly valuable.

Reports of crypto robbery attacks and other forms of physical coercion have emerged in the UK, France and the US, with criminals targeting investors they believe hold significant cryptocurrency wealth.

Unlike traditional bank transfers, cryptocurrency transactions can be extremely difficult to reverse once funds have been sent to an attacker-controlled wallet. Depending on the asset and circumstances, recovering stolen crypto can also prove challenging.

The Solihull attack was captured on home security footage and remains under police investigation.

TOKEN2049 is one of the crypto industry's largest annual conferences, drawing global founders, investors and builders. This year's Singapore edition runs October 7-8, and alongside the main programme, a wave of side events fills the surrounding days, including one from ChangeNOW.

The new report maps the illicit and legitimate uses of crypto privacy tools, drawing on data from TRM Labs, Chainalysis, the RAND Corporation, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Statista, and U.S. Treasury Department disclosures. It argues that the current regulatory focus is aimed at the wrong layer of the transaction stack.

Caroline Crenshaw’s departure from the SEC on January 2 marks a turning point for crypto regulation in Washington. The longtime cryptocurrency skeptic’s exit leaves the commission operating under a 3-0 Republican majority—a historic shift that clears the way for Paul Atkins’ pro-innovation agenda to move forward without meaningful internal opposition.

What Changed at the SEC

Crenshaw spent over a decade at SEC agency, consistently raising concerns about cryptocurrencies, digital assets and investor protection.

Her exit coincides with the broader regulatory reorganization under the Trump administration, which has explicitly positioned itself to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

The commission now operates with fewer members than authorized, as Trump hasn’t yet filled the vacant seats—a strategic pause that effectively gives the Republican-majority commissioners free rein on policy.

Why This Matters Right Now

The timing couldn’t be sharper. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has already signaled plans to introduce an “innovation exemption” that would let crypto startups test new products under lighter regulatory requirements, provided they meet basic consumer protections. [3][7] That proposal was expected within 30 days of December 2, meaning it could arrive any moment. With Crenshaw gone, there’s no institutional voice pushing back on the exemption’s scope or implementation details.

The broader regulatory picture is also shifting. The Senate is scheduled to hold hearings in January on the CLARITY Act—landmark legislation designed to end years of turf warfare between the SEC and CFTC by clearly dividing jurisdiction over different crypto products. [3][7] White House crypto adviser David Sacks said in December the bill is “closer to passage than at any point in the past.” [3] These aren’t minor procedural tweaks. They represent a fundamental reordering of how Washington approaches digital assets.

What’s Next

The real action starts immediately. Watch for the innovation exemption announcement—it could drop with minimal fanfare. Then track the Senate hearings on CLARITY in January. If that bill moves to a floor vote and passes, the crypto industry will have concrete answers about regulatory jurisdiction for the first time in years. Markets have been pricing in regulatory clarity for months. Crenshaw’s departure removes one of the last obstacles to delivering on it.

PEPE just ripped 26% higher on January 2, hitting $0.000005106 as trading volume exploded past $800 million.

That’s no thin pump—retail’s back, Robinhood holders sitting on 8.3% of supply, and a Hyperliquid whale named James Wynn dropped a bombshell prediction: $69 billion market cap by end-2026. If you’re trading memes, this is your wake-up call. Why now? New year FOMO meets bold calls in a market where BTC chills at $88k.

On-Chain Breakdown

PEPE’s ERC-20 on Ethereum. No fancy DeFi twist here—just pure meme liquidity. Volume spiked 370-400% in 24 hours, open interest jumped 82% to $446.5 million on derivatives. RSI hit 67, screaming bullish momentum after breaking $0.0000042 resistance.

Whales aren’t dumping. That official “We ride at dawn” tweet lit socials on fire—crypto Twitter’s buzzing. Supply’s fixed at 420.69 trillion tokens. If Wynn’s right, that’s $0.000164 per PEPE. Math checks out. But Ethereum gas? Still a killer for small trades.

Market Mayhem

Total crypto cap up 1.07% to $2.99T. BTC +1.21% at $88,765, dominance slipping to 59.22%—alts eating its lunch. PEPE led top gainers, outpacing Story (+25%) and Mog. Volumes hit $164B market-wide. No massive liqs reported, but meme sector OI surging means leveraged degens are in.

BTC’s post-halving year ended red for first time ever—down 6% in 2025 despite $126k ATH. ETFs pulled $348M, but macro liquidity rules now. PEPE doesn’t care—it’s riding retail hype while big boys consolidate.

Reactions Pour In

James Wynn, that Hyperliquid ser, straight-up said PEPE hits top meme status like SHIB did last cycle—if bull market holds. “We ride at dawn” from @pepe went viral. Community’s pumping: “PEPE to the moon” threads everywhere. No official team—it’s anon dev vibes.

Exchanges? Volumes exploding on Binance, MEXC. No rugs spotted. Traders on X calling for $0.000026 ATH retest. Sarcasm alert: Great timing for memes while BTC whales accumulate quietly. Holders care about flips, not halving myths.

But is this sustainable? Meme pumps fade fast.

Security Smarts for Degens

Don’t get rekt. PEPE’s been rugged before—no premine, but watch whale wallets. Use hardware for big bags; software wallets fine for sub-$1k. Check Etherscan for suspicious transfers. Avoid leverage over 5x—OI spike means liqs incoming on pullbacks.

Actionable: Set stops below $0.0000042. DCA if you believe Wynn. DYOR on Hyperliquid perps for leverage without CEX KYC. Phishing’s rampant post-pumps—double-check links. If you’re aping memes, keep it under 5% portfolio. Skin in the game matters, but don’t YOLO rent money.

Eyes on This

$0.000005 close today flips structure fully bullish. Watch BTC dominance drop—alts feast. Wynn’s $69B? Ballsy. If ETH L2s cut fees, PEPE volumes could 10x. Macro: Fed liquidity print January 2nd might juice risk assets.

Pullback to $0.0000045? Buy dip. Break $0.000006? Targets $0.00001 easy. Meme season back? You tell me. Trade smart—2026’s rewriting rules.

Circle wants the EU to replace mandatory bank-deposit minimums with more flexible liquidity rules and preserve cross-border stablecoin issuance.

Stablecoin issuer Circle urged the European Commission to revise reserve requirements in its response to a consultation on reviewing the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

In Thursday’s summary of its response, the USDC and EURC issuer said mandatory bank-deposit requirements expose stablecoin issuers to banking-sector credit and counterparty risks.

Circle faced those risks firsthand in March 2023, when USDC temporarily lost its dollar peg after the company disclosed that $3.3 billion of its reserves were held at Silicon Valley Bank. The funds were subsequently made available after US authorities protected the bank’s depositors.

The recent run of inflows into US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has come to a screeching halt. After nine days of net inflows, with a whopping US$3 billion (AU$4.3 billion) entering the funds, Wednesday, 30 September, saw US$148.7 million (AU$214.6 million) in net outflows. The most recent figures for 1 October are not yet available for all issuers, according to data from Farside.

Fidelity’s FBTC saw the largest net outflows, at US$125.6 million (AU$181.2 million), while Bitwise’s BITB and BlackRock’s IBIT fared somewhat better, with US$13.6 million (AU$19.6 million) and US$9.5 million (AU$13.7 million) in net outflows, respectively.

Nevertheless, the strong inflows have offset much of the outflows from earlier this year. As Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas notes, cumulative flows are edging higher, potentially setting a new all-time record soon.

In total, September recorded slightly lower net inflows than August, at US$2.65 billion (AU$3.82 billion) versus US$3.52 billion (AU$5.07 billion). This marks a three-month streak of net inflows, with US$172.43 million (AU$248.69 million) recorded in July, following two months of net outflows totalling almost US$7 billion (AU$10 billion) across May and June.

Institutions Won’t Sell as Bears Go to Sleep

According to BiTBO, major holders of Bitcoin include ETFs worldwide (7%), countries (2.46%), public companies (5.77%), private companies (2.1%) and mining companies (0.49%).Together, these groups hold nearly a fifth of Bitcoin’s total supply. As previously reported, a recent Bitwise survey found that none of the institutional HODLers surveyed sold any BTC during the recent bear market.

Bitcoin is currently trading at US$85,468 (AU$123,239), a 2.1% increase over the past 24 hours. While BTC is still down from its all-time high of US$126,198 (AU$181,970), reached on 7 October 2025, it has gained more than 10% over the past month.

Balchunas said bears would be contemplating hibernation despite the failure of the CLARITY Act and US rate hikes.

That’s gotta be demoralizing for bears even if they won’t admit it. But who knows.. Just my read on situation right now.

Evernorth is taking a leaf out of Michael Saylor’s playbook and will soon bring the crypto treasury model to XRP. In a 1 October post on X, the company announced that a business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II had been approved by shareholders.

Evernorth expects to hold 473 million XRP, making it the “largest publicly traded pure-play XRP treasury company”.

The transaction is expected to close on 7 October, subject to customary closing conditions, with trading expected to commence on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN, subject to Nasdaq listing approval.

The only other publicly known company with a similar playbook is Worksport, which currently holds 115,000 XRP, according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries. The site lists several digital assets held for “payments, settlement, or treasury purposes”, with XRP accounting for 0.14% of the assets tracked.

Bitcoin ranks first, with 93.7% dominance, while 197 companies hold around 1.276 million BTC.

Ethereum comes second with 5.52% asset dominance, while Solana has around 0.55% and BNB 0.14%.

Treasury Idea Not New

While a truly Strategy-style XRP treasury company may seem groundbreaking, it isn’t the first attempt at this. VivoPower launched an XRP-focused digital-asset treasury strategy in 2025 and described itself as the first publicly listed XRP-focused DAT company. However, in February 2026, it announced that it was exiting its digital-asset holdings and would stop acquiring digital assets for its own balance sheet.

XRP is up 1.5% on the news, amid a broader increase in the crypto market. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at US$1.52 (AU$2.19).

As reported yesterday, another boost for the coin came as news from Brazil made headlines. Financial infrastructure giant CSD BR – with access to US$4 trillion (AU$6 trillion) in assets – will test the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for local ownership records, with plans to expand its use.

Evernorth’s XRP Strategy

Evernorth plans to use its XRP holdings more actively than earlier crypto treasury firms, investing in XRP-related infrastructure and pursuing strategies aimed at increasing the amount of XRP backing each share over time. In a statement, the firm said its goal is to give public-market investors a regulated way to gain exposure to the XRP ecosystem while also supporting its broader growth and use.

We plan to enter public markets as blockchain utility continues to grow, and we believe institutional finance will increasingly be built on-chain. Evernorth is designed to accelerate XRP’s role in that work.

Asheesh Birla, founder and CEO of Evernorth

Evernorth’s shareholders include Ripple, SBI Group, Kraken, Pantera Capital, GSR, Arrington Capital and others.

Coin Metrics has rebuilt Ethereum's historical Standard Flow Metrics, raising a timing problem for tests that treat exchange outflows as a trading signal.

The crypto data provider's Oct. 1 notice says it recomputed Ethereum Standard Flow Metrics from the network's first block using its most up-to-date information as part of its Ethereum Point-in-Time release. The affected scope is all ETH Flow Metrics at daily and hourly frequencies, with corrected history available for backfilling.

That creates a practical distinction for investment research. A chart downloaded today can describe past flows using knowledge acquired later. A backtest, which replays a trading rule through historical data, needs the information available when each decision would have occurred. Those are different information sets, even when their observations carry the same dates.

The notice supplies no revision amounts or ETH strategy comparison. The immediate consequence is a need to identify data vintage, meaning the version of the data used in the test; any effect on returns still requires measurement.

Why the same historical date can tell a different story

Coin Metrics' flow methodology makes the distinction concrete. Standard metrics use all addresses currently known to belong to an exchange or other tracked entity, with each address's history starting at its first nonzero balance. Past values can be restated when additional entity addresses are identified.

Its Point-in-Time, or PIT, series instead uses addresses known to belong to the entity during the historical interval. An address contributes from its discovery date, and later discoveries do not rewrite earlier PIT intervals. The provider documents daily and hourly PIT counterparts to Standard exchange-flow metrics.

The underlying issue is attribution. A transfer can be assigned to an exchange retrospectively once the provider identifies the wallet. That fuller reconstruction may be useful for analyzing past supply movements with today's address coverage. Establishing what a trader could have recognized requires the address information and values available at that earlier moment.

Coin Metrics had outlined the recomputation on Sept. 28 to maintain that distinction, expecting ETH completion on Sept. 30. Its completion notice was posted Oct. 1 at 17:04 UTC; notice timing alone does not date every affected value's availability.

Two comparisons must also stay separate. Standard versus PIT tests different address-knowledge rules. Retained Standard history from before and after the rebuild is the comparison needed to measure this particular revision. PIT is a distinct attribution method. A copy of pre-rebuild Standard values preserves a particular version of the Standard product.

CryptoQuant's ETH Exchange Flows documentation explicitly warns that the endpoint does not support PIT accuracy. It says historical values may change as exchange wallets are discovered, added and validated through periodic clustering updates.

CryptoQuant schedules automatic updates for Tuesday at 00:00 UTC each week and says values can change slightly, especially recent observations. Each provider's revisions require their own measurements and update records.

For an analyst, retaining an old query date is therefore insufficient if the historical values are fetched again from a mutable endpoint. The dates of the observations may remain the same while the information used to construct them changes.

The interpretation of an outflow also needs restraint. A withdrawal measures movement relative to attributed exchange wallets. A claim about buying or profitable trading requires additional evidence.

Glassnode's BTC illustration isolates data-vintage risk

Glassnode supplied an illustration of the problem in a March 13, 2026, hypothetical backtest. It used Binance's BTC exchange balance to enter the market when a five-day moving average fell below a 14-day average and exit when the shorter average rose above the longer one.

The test covered Jan. 1, 2024, through March 9, 2026, starting with $1,000 and charging 0.1% per trade. Glassnode said it repeated the test using PIT balances while keeping the signal logic, parameters, dates and fees unchanged. The provider reported worse performance with PIT data than with revised balances.

The useful comparison is that the rule stayed fixed while the data variant changed. A historical balance pattern reconstructed with later knowledge can trigger different decisions from a pattern built from contemporaneous knowledge.

Glassnode supplied this BTC balance result, and the test remains unreplicated in this analysis. Its relevance to ETH is the measurement approach: hold the rule fixed and compare the data vintages. ETH signal and return effects require their own experiment.

The availability clock adds a further constraint. Glassnode's PIT documentation adds two limits to the shorthand promise of replaying the past.

First, PIT history exists only from the date tracking began for each metric. Before July 2025, coverage was limited to BTC, ETH and selected tokens and metrics; tracking expanded across all platform metrics from July 2025. A metric added then does not acquire earlier PIT observations merely because regular historical data exists.

Second, the timestamp attached to an observation is not necessarily when a trader could retrieve it. Glassnode says it has recorded relevant computed_at timestamps since September 2024, omitting the field when unavailable, and that API publication follows computation with a delay.

An unchanged historical value addresses later revision. Replaying a trading decision also requires placing the input after its actual publication. A test that acts before the input could be accessed still uses information from the future.

For Coin Metrics' ETH series, that means documenting each metric's first tracking date and historical customer availability. Glassnode's coverage dates and publication disclosures apply to its own products.

The evidence needed to measure an ETH trading effect

Measuring this rebuild requires paired observations from the same provider and metric, with matching exchange coverage, intervals and dates. For the revision question, that means retained pre-rebuild Standard values alongside the post-rebuild Standard history. For the trading question, it also means an information set demonstrably available at each decision time.

The rule must remain fixed across the comparison: the same entry and exit conditions, parameters and evaluation window. Availability cutoffs and execution timing belong in the test, alongside trading costs. Otherwise, changing the strategy while changing the data would leave the source of any performance difference unclear.

The comparison should then distinguish changed input values from changed signals, changed trades and changed returns. A revision can matter to the dataset without changing a particular rule's decisions.

The decisive follow-up is a paired ETH dataset and a fixed-rule replay that separates data changes from trading changes. Revised history can describe supply with today's address knowledge. A claim that outflows offered a usable trading edge requires reproducible inputs, publication timing and trading decisions.

Bitcoin's recovery above $85,000 faces a demand test after a sharp fall in bets on another Federal Reserve rate hike. A new post-payroll study places the strongest burst of forced buying before Friday's jobs report, while Bitcoin retreated after the release.

Bitcoin was $85,276 around press time, up 0.83% over 24 hours. The Sunday price remained below the $86,000 area reached before payrolls.

For holders tracking Bitcoin's recovery, the gap raises a practical question: who will sustain the recovery after the initial short squeeze? Thursday's ETF inflows provided a buying signal, but incomplete Friday figures leave the industry's response to payrolls unresolved heading into Monday's US session.

The squeeze came before payrolls

Glassnode's Oct. 3 post-payroll study estimated the probability of an additional quarter-point hike at the Oct. 28 meeting fell from 66% on Sept. 28 to 22% by 15:00 UTC on Oct. 2. The estimate comes from Glassnode's calculations using fed funds futures and the effective federal funds rate.

The timing of the strongest forced buying is revealing. Glassnode measured $50 million of short liquidations in ten minutes at 04:20 UTC on Oct. 2, eight hours before the jobs release. By 15:40 UTC, Bitcoin was more than 1% below its immediate pre-release level.

Short sellers can add buying pressure when rising prices force them to close their positions. Once those positions are closed, maintaining the higher price requires other buyers to absorb continuing offers. Friday's sequence supports caution about extrapolating the overnight advance into lasting investor commitment.

Open interest, the value of outstanding futures positions, rose $2.1 billion in the 24 hours before payrolls, according to Glassnode. Positions also grew about 2.5% when measured in coins. Open interest then fell $1.5 billion after continuing to rise for roughly an hour following the release.

The dollar change tracks outstanding exposure and is affected by valuation; investment capital lost is a different measure. The study's sequence links expanding positions to the advance and their subsequent retreat to falling prices, while leaving the cause of the reversal unresolved.

The fund market supplies a separate piece of evidence. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $102 million on Oct. 1, according to Farside Investors' flow table.

That positive session followed Wednesday's redemptions, showing that fund buying had returned before payrolls. It gives the recovery more substance than a short-covering explanation alone. Thursday's flow, however, describes a session before the report, leaving Friday's response to be measured separately.

Repeated inflows would extend Thursday's evidence across more sessions and show whether investors keep committing money after the release. Renewed redemptions would instead put that positive day in the context of a recovery struggling for sustained fund support.

Participation also matters beyond fund subscriptions. In its Sept. 30 market study, Glassnode put combined spot-exchange and US spot-ETF trading volume at about $6.4 billion a day, near the bottom of its range since the ETFs launched. That pre-payroll assessment provides a dated baseline for judging whether activity broadens.

Trading volume measures transactions, including repeated trades. A rise would indicate greater activity, while fund flows provide a separate measure of subscriptions and redemptions. Read together with price, these observations can help distinguish broader participation from an advance dominated by the closing of futures positions.

Monday tests the path from policy relief to buying

The latest observed Fed decision was a rate increase. Its Sept. 16 announcement raised the target range by a quarter percentage point to 3.75%-4%. Falling October hike odds leave that increase in place; a cut would require a separate policy decision.

The September employment report, released on Oct. 2, recorded 29,000 payroll gains and 4.2% unemployment. The Bureau of Labor Statistics described both as little changed. Slower hiring can give policymakers reason for patience, making the report relevant to the next decision even while September's increase remains the policy baseline.

Longer-term rates present another hurdle. Glassnode's Friday intraday study showed short-term yields falling while long-term yields rose, with the ten-year near 5.2%. That divergence matters because a reduced prospect of further Fed hikes can coexist with elevated longer-term borrowing costs.

For Bitcoin, the benefit depends on how investors respond. A more favorable outlook for the next policy meeting may encourage additional exposure. Whether that becomes sustained buying must be observed in the market, alongside the financing conditions investors still face.

The Institute for Supply Management's September services report is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 5 at 10:00 a.m. ET. Its previous August survey combined a headline PMI of 55.4 with employment at 47.8 and a prices index of 72.6: expanding activity, contracting employment and broad input-cost pressure.

That combination makes the next report's details relevant alongside its headline. Softer employment accompanied by easing price pressure could reinforce the argument for policy patience. Persistent price pressure or stronger activity could complicate it. The services release therefore supplies a fresh check on the rate outlook that emerged from payrolls.

The next US ETF sessions will show whether fund investors keep buying as the market absorbs that outlook. Their timing matters: flows reported after the release can extend the evidence beyond the Thursday inflow already recorded, while a completed Friday row would clarify the initial response.

Bitcoin stood above $85,000 in Sunday's snapshot but below its pre-payroll $86,000 area. Sustaining a recovery toward that level with repeated fund inflows and stronger spot participation would weaken the demand concern. Another rejection without those supporting signals would strengthen it. Those combined observations would give holders firmer evidence of follow-through than a lower hike-probability estimate alone.

IMF Praises El Salvador — But Still Tries To Scale Back Its Bitcoin Project

The International Monetary Fund has praised El Salvador for improving its economy — but scolded it at the same time for its ongoing Bitcoin experiment. 

In a statement Friday, the IMF said that it had  approved a $139 million disbursement to the Central American nation while also trying to “reduce the state’s involvement in Bitcoin-related activities.”

El Salvador in 2021 made Bitcoin legal tender, much to the ire of the IMF and other major institutions. The Latin American country was at the time negotiating a development loan with the agency. 

The IMF in September said that El Salvador wasn’t buying bitcoin; the country’s Bitcoin Office has repeatedly said that it does buy the cryptocurrency. 

“Economic activity has exceeded expectations, supported by sustained improvements in security and investor confidence, as macroeconomic imbalances continue to be addressed,” the IMF said. 

It continued: “However, certain performance criteria were not met, including on the Bitcoin accumulation front, for which waivers were granted based on strong corrective measures and renewed commitments.”

The IMF further said that the Salvadoran state’s involvement in Bitcoin-related activities is being unwound and that “no further bitcoin accumulation is envisaged beyond the documented donations.”

Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele in 2022 said the country would buy one bitcoin per day but it was never clear where the money was coming from — or if he was actually buying at all.  

The IMF said in September that El Salvador was — at least for some time —not using public funds to accumulate bitcoin but rather had received bitcoin from private donations. 

El Salvador and the IMF entered a $1.4 billion loan agreement at the end of December but the fund asked for the country to scale back certain aspects of its Bitcoin strategy.  

The Salvadoran state gifted its citizens bitcoin in 2021 and debuted a wallet with the hope of getting more citizens using the cryptocurrency in the dollarized country. 

President Bukele in 2024 admitted that Salvadorans weren’t using the cryptocurrency to buy things as expected, but always boasted that the government was still stacking sats.

South Africa’s Absa Becomes First Bank on the Continent to Custody Bitcoin: Report

South African bank Absa has become the first African lender to custody bitcoin, according to reports. 

As reported first by Bloomberg on Friday, the Johannesburg-based lender will serve institutional clients, mostly by custodying bitcoin — but other digital assets will also be a part of the service. 

Banks worldwide are integrating or offering bitcoin-related products and services. A number of U.S. and European banks have started offering crypto-related services by custodying assets for institutions.

Rob Downes, head of digital assets at Absa’s corporate and investment banking unit, was quoted saying that while bitcoin was the biggest asset the bank would custody, others would follow. 

Absa did not immediately respond to questions from Bitcoin Magazine. 

The African continent has a large crypto-native base, with data firms frequently highlighting the high adoption — particularly in countries where currencies have been significantly debased. 

In Chainalysis’s 2025 report, South Africa’s $36.0 billion in on-chain value made it second in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria alone received $92.1 billion, nearly three times the total of second-place South Africa. 

On the global index, South Africa ranked 30th for crypto adoption. 

The character of its market is different from Nigeria‘s: it’s more institutional, with regulatory clarity resulting in hundreds of licenses being issued to VASPs and attracting professional investors and traditional finance. 

BNY Mellon in 2022 became the first major U.S. bank to offer digital asset custody services. And this month, German multinational Deutsche Bank said it would debut a bitcoin custody service for European corporate and institutional clients later in 2026.

TLDR:

• Horsley says busy investors are the final barrier to crypto adoption after exchanges and custody. 
• Horsley says Bitcoin needs steady gains, not a sharp dip or a run to $150,000 by October’s end.
• Horsley sees no clients or partners waiting on Clarity as institutions keep moving into crypto. 
• Bitwise’s NEAR ETF has drawn over $50 million in net inflows since its late September launch. 

Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, said investors being too busy is now the biggest barrier to crypto adoption. He made the remarks in an interview on Sunday with Wolf Of The All Street.

According to Horsley, regulation and access no longer rank among the industry’s main concerns. He also said institutions are not waiting on Clarity before entering the sector. Separately, Bitwise’s NEAR ETF has drawn over $50 million in net inflows.

Busy Investors and Advisor Demand

Hunter Horsley said crypto has met the “final boss of reasons” people avoid acting. He said the reason is simple: “They’re just busy.” Crypto spent ten years clearing other hurdles, he added.

The most common pushback Bitwise hears now comes from advisors. Many say their clients are not asking about crypto. Some advisors at large firms still do not know they can access Bitcoin. Their firms approved Bitwise products more than a year ago.

Horsley called that situation “almost hard to fathom.” The earlier obstacles, he said, included no exchanges, no qualified custodians, and fears of a government shutdown. Investor attention now ranks ahead of regulation and access.

Some advisors once set clients up with spot Bitcoin or Solana through crypto custodians. They now want to swap into ETF shares, Hunter Horsley said. He said those swaps are due in the third quarter. “Peace of mind, simplicity is the order of the day,” he said.

Price Range Matters for Adoption

Hunter Horsley said Bitcoin’s price needs to rise steadily rather than dip sharply or surge. Rising prices help Bitwise’s sales, but only up to a point. A balanced market, he added, is more conducive to adoption.

A falling market, he explained, leads many investors to wait and see whether prices drop further. A sudden run to $150,000 by the end of October would also cause a pause. Investors would worry that the market had overheated.

Horsley described the ideal as “positive price performance, not too slow, not too fast, and not too high too quickly.” He said the crypto sector is close to that point at present.

Bitcoin traded near $85,200 on Sunday, up 0.5% over 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Bitcoin remained in the “bearish” zone. Chatter fell to “low” from “normal” levels over the past day.

Regulation, Clarity, and the NEAR ETF

Horsley shared remarks on the Clarity legislation. “I don’t see any clients or partners waiting for Clarity,” he said. He said the most regulated institutions are moving forward regardless of the outcome.

Clarity “could be an asset if written well,” Horsley said. Some use cases, he added, would be challenged without that clarity. Hunter Horsley also said the space is not lawless or ruleless, citing the GENIUS Act as “extremely powerful.”

Horsley said there is “no stopping this train.” He also said the SEC’s proposed custody framework does not greatly change how advisors add crypto.

It would open the door to stablecoin holdings, on-chain vaults, and tokenized assets, with use cases expected next year.

Bitwise launched the Bitwise NEAR ETF (NRR) on the New York Stock Exchange in late September. Hunter Horsley said the fund sits “squarely” at the intersection of AI and crypto.

He said index products have lagged single-asset funds so far. “The story is just getting started on the index front,” he said. NEAR’s price rose over 3% in the last 24 hours.

TLDR:

• U.S. ETF inflows reached a record $1.93T through Sept. 29, up $580B, or 43%, from the same 2025 period.
• Q3 delivered a record $771B in U.S.-listed ETF inflows, lifting the monthly pace to roughly $214B in 2026.
• Equity ETFs drew more than $1T in 2026, while fixed-income ETFs attracted over $469B through September.
• Spot Bitcoin ETFs added $2.65B in September, while spot Ether ETFs drew about $832M during the month.

U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds are drawing capital at a record pace, with net inflows reaching about $1.93 trillion through September 29. Bloomberg data compiled by Citadel Securities showed the total running $580 billion, or 43%, above the comparable 2025 period.

The third quarter delivered the strongest contribution, attracting $771 billion and setting a new quarterly inflow record. The pace equates to roughly $214 billion monthly, putting annual flows on track to exceed $2.5 trillion if maintained.

The surge reflects broad demand rather than strength in a single investment category. Equity and fixed-income products have both absorbed substantial capital, reinforcing ETFs as a dominant vehicle for allocating money across markets. That breadth makes the record notable across both risk and income markets.

U.S. ETF Demand Spreads Across Equities and Bonds

State Street Investment Management separately estimated more than $1.54 trillion of U.S.-listed ETF inflows through September. That total already exceeded its $1.52 trillion full-year record from 2025.

State Street projected flows near $2.3 trillion by year-end. Its figures showed equity ETFs leading with more than $1 trillion, while fixed-income products attracted over $469 billion. Within equities, funds tracking U.S. stocks received about $655 billion.

Moreover, technology sector ETFs added more than $59 billion, highlighting the scale of allocations reaching market-leading companies. The State Street and Citadel totals differ as their datasets use different coverage or methodologies.

Neither report reconciled the gap, but both recorded historically strong ETF demand. Industry assets expanded alongside those inflows. Investment Company Institute data placed U.S. ETF assets at $16.27 trillion in August, while indexed funds held $22.4 trillion.

Those indexed mutual funds and ETFs represented 54.3% of combined long-term fund assets, showing how index-linked products now account for more than half of that market.

Record ETF Flows Boost Mega-Cap Exposure and Crypto Access

Citadel estimated the 10 largest S&P 500 companies receive about 41 cents from every dollar allocated to the index. Similarly, the Magnificent Seven receive roughly 35 cents. That structure means large index inflows direct substantial capital toward the biggest companies.

Meanwhile, only 25% of S&P 500 constituents traded above 50-day averages in late September. Crypto ETFs also participated in the broader shift toward regulated fund wrappers, although their flows remained much smaller than traditional ETF totals.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted about $2.65 billion in September, while spot Ether ETFs received roughly $832 million, according to SoSoValue data.These figures show investors using ETFs across stocks, bonds, Bitcoin and Ether. However, crypto remained a small share of the record industry-wide inflow total.
