Former U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to launch his own coin, which is set to take place on Wednesday. While some people speculated that it might be a cryptocurrency, Trump’s project is more of a traditional product than a digital asset.

 
New Coin to Support Presidential Campaign
Donald Trump, who is running for the presidency of the United States again, announced the launch of a new coin to raise funds for his election campaign. The project, titled "Silver Medallion First Edition President Trump," aims to distribute physical silver to Americans who support his political vision and want to see him back in office. Although many of his supporters expected Trump to release a cryptocurrency, this new coin is something entirely different.
 Launch of Limited Edition Coin
Trump announced that the coin will be sold for $100 each through the website RealTrumpCoins.com. The coin will be made of 99.9% pure silver and will only be available in a limited edition. One side of the coin will feature Donald Trump’s likeness, while the other side will display the White House accompanied by the phrase "In God We Trust."
 This coin is expected to be one of several activities that Trump undertakes to secure the necessary funding for his campaign ahead of the upcoming presidential elections in the U.S. The coin comes at a time when Trump is actively seeking new ways to bolster his campaign and ensure he has the resources he needs. He stated that this silver coin is the "ONLY OFFICIAL coin" he has designed and that was minted in the U.S. under his leadership.
 Cryptocurrency Expectations Unfulfilled
In recent months, several meme coins featuring themes related to Donald Trump have appeared in the market, capitalizing on his popularity. However, Trump has distanced himself from these unofficial tokens and emphasized during the introduction of his silver coin that:
"I’ve seen a lot of coins using my beautiful face, but they’re not official. RealTrumpCoin.com is the only place to purchase the official Trump coin."
 At first glance, Trump’s announcement of a new official coin might seem related to cryptocurrency, as many of his fans have been expecting him to introduce a digital asset. For instance, last week, 84% of bettors on the Polymarket platform believed that Trump would come out with his own cryptocurrency. This anticipation was fueled by the launch of the World Liberty Financial project, which was speculated to potentially include an official Trump cryptocurrency.
 World Liberty Financial and the True Purpose of the Coin
The World Liberty Financial project does contain a token called WLFI, but this token lacks the key characteristics of a classic cryptocurrency as many had envisioned. Although WLFI has been presented as a type of digital asset, it is not the classic cryptocurrency that Trump fans hoped for. While speculation continues regarding whether Trump will eventually come up with his own cryptocurrency project, the silver coin remains his current official product and focuses more on traditional investment in precious metals.
Thus, Trump continues to favor physical, tangible assets rather than joining the wave of digital assets that currently dominate the financial world.
Trump's fondness for cryptocurrencies.
Donald Trump also commented on the Fatty token before the presidential campaign. #Fatty caught Trump's attention because one of the characters in the game mimics Donald Trump, and they are also counting on Don's participation in their new video clip. The first episode featured UFC Champion Jiří Procházka and world-famous beauty contest winners. Fatty.io is still in presale, and it is expected to be one of the best launches of this period.

Altcoin trading volume on Binance has skyrocketed to an all-time high, with altcoins now making up 82.3% of the exchange’s total trading activity. This milestone surpasses the 76% peak seen during the 2021 altcoin season, underscoring that the current altseason is gaining unstoppable momentum.

Altcoins Outshine Bitcoin on Binance
According to analysis by CryptoQuant, traders are increasingly favoring altcoins over Bitcoin. Since July, tokens like XPL, ASTR, SOL, ETH, and PUMP have posted significant gains. Notably, ASTR surged more than 250% in just one week after its launch on September 18.
Analyst JA Maartum highlighted that such dominance of altcoins has never been observed before—even during the strongest bull runs of 2021.

Altcoin Season Index Confirms the Trend
The CMC Altcoin Season Index currently shows a 62% rise, signaling that altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin. This mirrors past cycles: Bitcoin rallies first, drawing new capital, and then investors rotate into smaller, riskier assets chasing higher returns.
Top-performing tokens in the past 90 days include:
MYX – +13,226%MemeCore (M) – +3,158%Aster – +2,030%
Altseason is officially considered “active” when at least 75 of the top 100 altcoins outperform Bitcoin over a 90-day period.

Institutions Pour Billions Into Altcoins
The surge is not driven by retail traders alone—institutional capital is also fueling the rally. In August alone, Ether ETFs attracted nearly $4 billion, while ETFs for Solana and XRP accumulated more than $1 billion over the past 12 months.
Recent revisions to SEC rules for crypto ETFs have paved the way for more than 90 new applications, most of them focused on Solana and XRP.

Market Sentiment and Social Buzz
Rising prices of tokens in the Solana ecosystem and the hype around memecoins like Dogecoin and Pudgy Penguins are sparking waves of attention across social media. Google Trends data shows that searches for altcoins hit a new all-time high on August 13, echoing the frenzy of May 2021.
According to Forbes, investor speculation about a potential Fed rate cut in 2025 has also boosted liquidity in risk assets, further supporting altcoin demand. The total altcoin market capitalization has now climbed to $1.65 trillion.

Futures Markets Show Long Bias
On Binance futures, more than 52% of traders currently hold long positions. Open interest in BTC futures exceeds $10 billion, compared to around $7 billion in Ethereum. While Bitcoin remains the market leader, altcoins are clearly riding the strongest wave of demand since 2021.

XRP is once again in the spotlight as major investors continue massive accumulation. After failing to break above $2.95, bulls are regrouping, and analysts suggest the next target could be $4.20.

Whales Show Strong Confidence
While the market wavers in the short term, whales are buying every dip. On-chain data reveals that holders of 10–100 million XRP have accumulated over 120 million tokens in just three days — worth about $340 million. This group now controls more than 8% of XRP’s circulating supply, signaling strong confidence in future upside.

Key Technical Levels
XRP rebounded from support at $2.70 on Monday, rallying as high as $2.92 (+8.5%) before giving back part of the gains. Technical indicators highlight:
Main Support: $2.70, with the “last line of defense” at $2.55 (200-day SMA)Immediate Resistance: $2.95, where both the 50-day and 100-day SMAs convergeKey Barrier: $3.05 – a breakout above this level would confirm a bullish escape from the symmetrical triangleTarget Price: $4.20 – a 47% rally from current levels

What’s Next for XRP?
If XRP consolidates in the $2.88–$2.95 zone and successfully breaks above $3.05, the market could ignite a sharp rally. Analyst Gordon emphasized:
“The next phase of growth for XRP will be fast and aggressive once it breaks out of the triangle barrier.”
Optimism is further fueled by the fact that XRP is heading toward its best quarterly close in history, putting it in a strong position for year-end gains — with some forecasts suggesting targets as high as $15.
XRP now stands at a crossroads: either it clears the key resistances and charges toward $4.20, or it remains range-bound while whales continue to quietly accumulate.

Ethereum is regaining momentum after a series of false breakouts. According to research firm Matrixport, the token bounced from $3,800 to $4,200, setting the stage for a potential bullish breakout. Optimism is fueled not only by technical indicators but also by massive whale accumulation and rising activity in the options markets.

False Breakouts as a Prelude to Growth
Matrixport highlighted that the market has already seen four false breakouts this year, each followed by only limited declines and then sharp recoveries. The current rebound looks similar—ETH climbed back above $4,200, with technical charts pointing to sustained strength.

10x Research adds that options markets are now flashing bullish signals. Traders are targeting strike prices at $4,300 and $4,500, while some are even betting on $5,000 by the end of October. A put-to-call ratio of 0.70 underscores bullish dominance, while the “max pain” level at $4,200 leaves room for further expansion.

Whales Strengthen Their Positions
On-chain data shows that large investors are not exiting the market—in fact, they are doubling down. Over the past few days, whales have withdrawn massive amounts of ETH from exchanges.
🔹 Wallets 0x93c2 and 0x6F9b bought more than $127 million worth of ETH within just a few hours.

🔹 Another address withdrew 3,629 ETH worth $15.2 million from Binance, bringing its total holdings to over $15.3 million.
This accumulation trend reflects strong long-term confidence. Institutional interest is also increasing, with Fidelity recently purchasing $202 million worth of Ether.

ETF Inflows and Rising Trading Volumes
Market sentiment is further boosted by substantial inflows into ETH ETFs. Recent investments exceeded $546 million, adding more upward pressure on prices.
At the same time, trading volume surged by 40% in the past 24 hours, signaling renewed attention from both short-term traders and long-term investors.

Key Levels to Watch
Ethereum is currently trading around $4,185. The critical level is $4,250—if ETH holds above it, doors could open for a rally toward $4,500 and even $5,000. Failure to reclaim this level, however, could trigger a pullback toward $4,000.
Ethereum thus stands at a crossroads: technical signals and whale accumulation strongly favor the bulls, but the market’s ability to sustain this momentum will determine the next move.

Summary
Ethereum has turned a series of false breakouts into a bullish setup. Whale accumulation, ETF inflows, and rising trading volumes create conditions for a potential move toward $5,000. October could prove to be a decisive month for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency.

The Solana ecosystem has been gaining momentum in recent weeks, with market sentiment shifting strongly toward a bullish outlook. Crypto analysts suggest that the fourth quarter could bring a retest—or even a breakthrough—of the token’s previous all-time highs.

Bullish Scenario: Solana Poised for ATH
According to analyst Gem Detecter, Solana’s fundamentals leave room for significant growth. He noted that traders who previously exited the market may now be forced to buy back in at higher prices, creating upward pressure that could drive another major rally in the coming quarter.
Optimism is also fueled by the U.S. SEC’s recent move to lift delay notices on several crypto ETFs, including those tied to Solana. With October deadlines approaching for spot ETF approvals, investors are speculating about potential inflows if SOL-based products gain approval in the U.S.

New Products Boost Investor Confidence
Confidence has also been lifted by the launch of Forward Industries’ SOL Treasury Fund, listed on Nasdaq. Analysts argue that gains could be far larger if ETF products tied to Solana receive regulatory approval.
Prominent analyst Altcoin Gordon echoed this sentiment, calling Solana one of the clearest opportunities for 3x to 5x returns in the current cycle.

21Shares Jupiter ETP: A New Gateway for Institutions
Asset manager 21Shares has officially listed its physically backed Jupiter ETP (AJUP) on the Swiss SIX exchange, giving institutional investors direct exposure to Jupiter, Solana’s leading liquidity hub.
Jupiter processes over 90% of all transactions on Solana, handling weekly trading volumes around $8 billion and lifetime volumes exceeding $1 trillion. With a 2.5% fee, AJUP expands 21Shares’ product suite, which now includes more than 50 crypto investment products managing over $11 billion in assets.
Jupiter itself has grown far beyond its origins as a swap aggregator. Today, it powers perpetual futures, limit orders, dollar-cost averaging strategies, token launchpads, and its liquid staking derivative JupSOL, now the fourth-largest derivative on the blockchain. Meanwhile, its lending platform JupLend attracted more than $750 million TVL within weeks of launching in August 2025.

More Catalysts Ahead
Further momentum may come from CME Group, which plans to launch futures options for Solana and XRP on October 13 after receiving regulatory approval. This move would add another layer of legitimacy to Solana within traditional financial infrastructure.
Prediction markets such as Polymarket currently assign a 99% probability to Solana ETF approval in 2025. Combined with the July launch of the REX-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF, Jupiter ETP, and upcoming ETF deadlines, these catalysts position Solana as one of the strongest contenders for a record-breaking rally by year’s end.

Bottom line: Solana is on the verge of a potential new all-time high. With improving fundamentals, rising demand for DeFi products, the launch of Jupiter ETP, and mounting ETF expectations, the stage is set for a powerful rally.

French banking giant Société Générale is accelerating its push into decentralized finance. Its digital assets division, SG-FORGE, has deployed its euro-backed stablecoin (EURCV) and dollar-backed stablecoin (USDCV) on Ethereum-based protocols Uniswap and Morpho. This move opens the door for spot trading, lending, and borrowing, further bridging the gap between traditional finance and DeFi.

DeFi Unlocks New Opportunities
By shifting to decentralized platforms, clients can now trade these tokens 24/7 without relying on intermediaries. All processes are managed by smart contracts, ensuring transparency and automation.
On Morpho, users can lend and borrow EURCV and USDCV not only against major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin ($113,717) and Ethereum ($4,178), but also against tokenized money market funds such as USTBL and EUTBL. These funds, regulated by France’s AMF, invest in U.S. Treasuries and eurozone government bonds, providing an added layer of stability.
Oversight will be handled by MEV Capital, which will set collateral eligibility rules and step in to manage defaults if necessary. SG-FORGE indicated that the range of acceptable collateral will expand over time.

Liquidity on Uniswap
Alongside Morpho, the stablecoins are now listed on Uniswap, creating a spot market for bank-issued stablecoins. Market maker Flowdesk will provide liquidity, enabling smooth conversions between EURCV and USDCV without relying on traditional banking channels.

Stable Yet Small Players
Compared to market leaders, Société Générale’s stablecoins are still relatively small:
EURCV – Market cap of $66 million (vs. Circle’s EURC at $260 million)USDCV – Market cap of $32.2 million (vs. Tether’s USDT at $174.8 billion)
Despite their modest size, this marks a historic moment—one of Europe’s largest banks is directly bringing its stablecoins into the DeFi ecosystem, opening the door to deeper integration between traditional and decentralized finance.

Michael Saylor, co-founder and leading figure of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), remains steadfast in his Bitcoin mission—even as the company’s stock has fallen 20% since June, while Bitcoin itself has gained roughly 6% and reached record highs.

Saylor: Premiums Always Shift
In an interview with Bloomberg, Saylor downplayed concerns from critics, calling the fluctuations a natural cycle:

“The premium on our shares rises when volatility and debt increase. When those factors ease, the premium narrows again. That’s just the normal dynamic,” he explained.
Under his leadership, Strategy transformed from a traditional software company into the largest institutional Bitcoin holder, effectively turning itself into a proxy for gaining Bitcoin exposure without directly owning tokens. Since 2020, its stock has risen by more than 2,600%, despite the current pullback.

Strategy as a Bitcoin Treasury
For years, Strategy shares traded at more than double the value of the Bitcoin they held. Today, that gap has shrunk—the company is valued at about 1.46 times the $73 billion worth of BTC on its balance sheet.
According to Saylor, this reflects the market still adapting to the idea of “Bitcoin treasury companies,” a model that only recently came into the spotlight as firms began leveraging bonds and equity programs to accumulate crypto.

Size Gives Strategy an Edge
Unlike smaller firms struggling to refinance, Strategy has the size and credibility to retire its convertible bonds and shift toward perpetual preferred shares, insulating itself from debt risk.
But critics warn of potential pain if markets turn. “If Bitcoin drops 50%, investor enthusiasm will fade, NAV will shrink, and hundreds of companies will rethink their treasury strategies,” said Charles Edwards of Capriole Investments.

Competition and ETFs Changing the Game
The landscape around Strategy is getting crowded. Influencers and politically connected investors have launched crypto vehicles via SPACs and reverse mergers, often lacking the liquidity or scale Strategy commands.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs pose another challenge, offering investors exposure without the risks tied to corporate governance or leverage. “Investors are momentum-driven—they buy when prices rise, and lose enthusiasm when they stagnate,” explained Campbell Harvey, finance professor at Duke University.

Bottom line: Even as Strategy’s premium narrows and competition intensifies, Michael Saylor remains convinced his long-term Bitcoin play will endure. For investors, the race to become the world’s “Bitcoin treasury” has only just begun.

The United States is on the brink of a government shutdown starting October 1, as Republicans and Democrats remain deadlocked over healthcare and federal spending. Meanwhile, safe-haven and hedge assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver are rallying. According to Polymarket data, the probability of a shutdown surged by 13% in a single day to 85%.

Market and Crypto Implications
Historically, the S&P 500 weakens in the week leading up to potential shutdown deadlines, sparking unease across both traditional and digital markets. This time, the risks are even greater: a shutdown would halt the release of key economic indicators such as employment figures and the Consumer Price Index.
That would severely limit the Federal Reserve’s ability to make informed policy decisions. Regulatory agencies including the SEC and CFTC would also operate with reduced staff, delaying IPOs and reviews of cryptocurrency ETF applications.
Crypto analysts warn that short-term pressure on U.S. equities and digital assets could intensify, with risk-off sentiment driving heightened volatility. High-beta assets like BTC, ETH, and altcoins may see sharper swings. Just last week, crypto liquidations topped $1 billion twice in a single week.

Lessons From the Past: Bitcoin Down, Gold and Silver Up
A similar scenario played out during the shutdown from December 22, 2018 to January 25, 2019. Bitcoin declined throughout the closure, but surged sharply once the government reopened.
Gold, on the other hand, has been on a relentless climb. On Monday, September 29, the yellow metal hit $3,872 per ounce, marking a 50% year-over-year increase. The trajectory suggests it could soon test the $4,000 threshold. Silver has also spiked to $47 per ounce, its highest level in 14 years, as risk-aversion sentiment intensifies.

Political Tensions and Market Outlook
Political stress mounted further after U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance declared on Monday: “I think we’re heading toward a shutdown.” Immediately after his remarks, Polymarket odds for a shutdown climbed to 85%.
According to analyst Amit Investing, two scenarios are now in play. The first: a sharp 5% market drop, potentially opening buying opportunities for bargain hunters. The second: relative calm, with markets shifting their focus to corporate earnings season set to begin in just two weeks.

Critical Days Ahead
While cryptocurrencies and precious metals benefit from investor anxiety, equity markets face a major test. Unless Congress reaches a budget agreement, the U.S. will enter a shutdown with ripple effects across the government and global financial markets alike.

Saudi Arabia is pushing its gaming ambitions to unprecedented heights with the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts (EA)—the publisher behind blockbuster franchises such as Madden NFL, Battlefield, The Sims, and EA Sports FC. The deal marks a historic milestone in the kingdom’s strategy to diversify its economy away from oil and position itself as a leader in the global gaming industry.

The Largest Leveraged Buyout in History
The transaction is backed by the kingdom’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) alongside Silver Lake Management and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners. The consortium agreed to pay $210 per share in cash, a 25% premium compared to EA’s stock price before reports of the negotiations surfaced.
The deal surpasses the previous record set in 2007 with the $48.4 billion buyout of TXU Corp. To finance the acquisition, JPMorgan Chase & Co. committed a staggering $20 billion in debt—the largest leveraged buyout financing ever. PIF is also rolling over its nearly 10% stake in EA, worth roughly $5 billion, and will contribute the majority of the $36 billion in equity financing.
EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson welcomed the decision, calling it “a strong recognition of the creativity of our teams and the iconic experiences they have built for millions of players around the world.”

Building a Gaming Empire
EA’s flagship franchises like Madden NFL and EA Sports FC consistently rank among the industry’s top sellers. The highly anticipated launch of Battlefield 6 on October 10 further strengthened the case for taking the company private.
This deal is just the latest in a series of massive Saudi investments in gaming. PIF has already poured $30 billion into the sector, acquiring stakes in Nintendo, Take-Two Interactive, and Nexon. Through Savvy Games Group, it bought mobile gaming giant Scopely for $4.9 billion in 2023 and invested $3.5 billion in Niantic, the maker of Pokémon Go.
Now, however, the kingdom is shifting from mobile dominance to securing a major foothold in the console and PC markets, which remain the backbone of the $178 billion global gaming industry.

The Crown Prince and Esports Ambitions
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, himself an avid gamer, has been at the forefront of promoting gaming as part of Vision 2030. Earlier this year, he personally closed the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, awarding a record-breaking $70 million prize pool.
Analysts suggest that aligning EA’s sports portfolio with Saudi Arabia’s heavy investment in the Saudi Pro League could unlock new opportunities across gaming and sports broadcasting.

Two Sides Under Pressure
Both parties face financial challenges. EA has been grappling with layoffs, criticism over failed titles and acquisitions, and slowing sales in the post-pandemic market. On the other side, PIF is increasingly reliant on debt markets to fund its diversification efforts, as lower oil prices weigh on Saudi finances.
Nevertheless, this record-shattering acquisition underscores Saudi Arabia’s determination to spend big in its quest to become a global gaming powerhouse.

Elon Musk has once again shaken the tech world – this time by announcing Grokipedia, a new knowledge database he claims will be a “massive upgrade over Wikipedia.”
The project will be built under his company xAI, which Musk describes as a crucial step toward its ultimate mission: understanding the universe. His Grok chatbot is already being equipped with tools that can automatically detect errors in online content and rewrite them more accurately. These “synthetic corrections,” Musk argues, could serve as the foundation for an alternative to Wikipedia, free from inaccuracies and ideological bias.

Criticism of Wikipedia and David Sacks’ Role
Musk’s comments came in response to entrepreneur David Sacks, who argued that Wikipedia is “hopelessly biased” and run by “an army of left-wing activists.” He highlighted the issue of Wikipedia ranking at the top of Google search results and becoming a training source for AI models – all while ignoring certain outlets.
Sacks pointed to Wikipedia’s blacklist of media sources, which includes Breitbart, Daily Caller, The Epoch Times, and Fox News, while approving sources like The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and The Nation.

AI as a Crowdsourcing Alternative
The question remains whether artificial intelligence can truly handle the challenge that Wikipedia solves through thousands of human editors. A 2024 study found that AI performs well on simple fact-based queries but struggles with complex “why” or “how” questions. It also frequently provides inaccurate references.

Musk vs. Wikipedia: A Longstanding Feud
Musk’s feud with Wikipedia is not new. In 2022, he accused the platform of bias during disputes over the definition of a recession. A year later, he clashed with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, and in 2024 even offered $1 billion if Wikipedia would rename itself “Dickipedia.”
He further stirred controversy by urging people to stop donating to Wikipedia, after reports surfaced that the Wikimedia Foundation spends millions annually on diversity and inclusion projects. Musk has repeatedly labeled it “Wokepedia.”

Grokipedia as “Wikipedia 2.0”?
If Grokipedia comes to life, it would represent one of the most direct challenges ever to the traditional Wikipedia. Musk envisions an alternative database that is more reliable, less biased, and fully integrated with AI.
The real question is whether he can convince the world to move away from a platform that has been trusted for over 20 years toward a new system powered by artificial intelligence.

Do you think Grokipedia can actually replace Wikipedia, or will it just become another one of Musk’s endless experiments?

XRP has seen a surge of interest from large investors in recent days. According to data analyzed by Ali Martinez, whales accumulated over 120 million XRP within 72 hours—worth more than $345 million at an average price of $2.88. This massive buying spree signals confidence in the asset, even as technical indicators flash warnings.

XRP Defends a Critical Support Zone
The accumulation comes as XRP defends the key support area between $2.70 and $2.80—a zone that has historically sparked strong rebounds. Buyers are showing that they view current levels as attractive for long-term positions.
On the daily chart, XRP faces its first major challenge at $2.93. A decisive breakout above this barrier could pave the way toward $3.10–$3.15, and further gains could push it into the $3.30–$3.35 range. These resistance zones will determine whether XRP can sustain its upward momentum.

The Shadow of Bearish Divergence
Despite optimism from whales, a bearish divergence on the weekly chart remains active, flagged by analysts since July. Momentum indicators have yet to fully support the recent rally, leaving room for a potential correction. Unless XRP cancels this pattern with a strong breakout, the risk of retracement remains.

Strong Ties to Bitcoin’s Trajectory
XRP’s short-term movements are closely tied to Bitcoin’s trajectory. If BTC maintains its bullish momentum, altcoins like XRP are likely to follow—often with a slight lag. On the other hand, if Bitcoin’s dominance rises too quickly, capital could flow out of altcoins, restricting XRP’s growth.

Crucial Days Ahead
XRP’s attempt to reclaim the $3 level comes at a decisive moment. Whale accumulation is fueling bullish sentiment, but resistance zones and technical divergences cannot be ignored. The coming days will be pivotal in determining whether XRP confirms its bullish outlook or faces a corrective setback.

Crypto markets can create massive opportunities — but also massive risks. One bold Ethereum trader proved this by turning a modest $125,000 deposit into over $43 million on paper in just four months.

How did he do it?
According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, the trader opened a position on Hyperliquid in May, using a combination of leverage and a compounding strategy — reinvesting every profit back into a single ETH long position.
When Ethereum traded around $1,800, he gradually scaled up until his position ballooned to 66,749 ETH worth over $303 million. At its peak, his equity exceeded $43 million, a staggering 344x return on his original stake.
“He masterfully compounded his gains, rolling every dollar back into ETH longs to build a massive $303 million position,” Lookonchain noted.

The harsh reality
But the wild ride didn’t last. By mid-August, heavy selling pressure from whales hit the market, U.S. Ethereum ETFs reported $59 million in outflows, and top wallets like “0x34f” and “0x806” dumped millions in ETH. Price momentum reversed, and the leveraged trader faced the threat of liquidation.
In the end, he closed the position, walking away with a realized profit of $6.86 million — still an impressive 55x gain on his starting capital, even if far from the paper highs.

The dark side of leverage
High-leverage trading is like a rollercoaster. A single sharp price move can wipe out accumulated gains in seconds. In July 2025, for example, ETH longs alone accounted for $145 million in daily liquidations as bearish momentum swept through crypto.
This trader’s story shows both sides of crypto: the incredible upside potential, but also the brutal risks.

Ethereum today
ETH has retreated from summer highs near $4,700 and now trades in the $3,800–$3,900 support zone. Technical analysts see this range as a key battleground. Whether Ethereum bounces back or breaks lower will determine if we keep seeing stories of million-dollar gains — or just cautionary tales of over-leveraged greed.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has intervened against QMMM Holdings, whose Nasdaq-listed shares skyrocketed by an astonishing 959% in just three weeks. Regulators announced a temporary suspension of trading, citing concerns that the surge was fueled by anonymous social media promotions that may have manipulated investor behavior.

A $100 Million Crypto Fund Sparks Frenzy
The dramatic rise in QMMM’s stock price followed the company’s announcement of plans to launch a diversified cryptocurrency fund worth $100 million. The fund is set to focus on leading digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
The news immediately captured investor attention, triggering unusual volatility in trading. Bets on quick profits sent the stock soaring to extraordinary levels, prompting the regulator’s intervention.

SEC: Protecting Investors From Manipulation
According to the SEC, the action was necessary to safeguard both the market and retail investors. The agency highlighted that anonymous recommendations circulating on social media can distort incentives and fuel speculative bubbles.
“Such an environment can lead to imbalanced decisions by investors who are swayed by false promises,” the SEC stated in its reasoning.
Trading of QMMM Holdings shares was therefore suspended until the situation stabilizes and potential manipulation risks are addressed.

Experts Warn of Speculative Fever
Market analysts interpret the SEC’s move as a warning signal amid rising risks tied to speculation around cryptocurrencies. They caution that similar scenarios could reappear, especially among companies trying to lure investors with promises of quick gains from the crypto boom.
“Investors should always carefully weigh risks and avoid being carried away by the mere prospect of rapid profit,” experts emphasize.

Another scandal is shaking U.S. law enforcement. A former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, who worked alongside the self-proclaimed “crypto godfather,” has pleaded guilty in federal court. Experts say the case represents “a new level of cryptocurrency abuse,” this time directly tied to state authority.

A Policeman Turned Enforcer
The accused, Michael David Coberg of Eastvale, admitted guilt to charges of conspiracy to commit extortion and conspiracy against individuals. Prosecutors revealed that Coberg partnered with crypto entrepreneur Adam Iza, the founder of the now-defunct trading platform Zort. Iza has been held in federal custody since September 2024.
According to court documents, Coberg exploited his badge while still on duty: interrogating victims, staging fake arrests, and helping Iza extort hundreds of thousands of dollars. For his services, he collected at least $20,000 per month. The two even discussed launching a joint business in anabolic steroids.

Brutal Tactics and Intimidation
Investigators outlined disturbing incidents: in 2021, they forced one businessman at gunpoint to transfer $127,000. In another case, they staged a false drug-related arrest of a businessman in Paramount.
“Coberg abused his official power to support fraudulent schemes, which is extremely alarming. The state holds a monopoly on force, and he wielded it for personal gain,” commented expert Kadan Stadelmann.
He added that the case highlights the dangers of off-duty policing without oversight. Combining official authority, violence, and crypto fraud, he said, goes far beyond typical schemes such as fraudulent ICOs.

A Wider Network of Accomplices
Coberg is not the only one implicated. Christopher Michael Cadman and David Anthony Rodriguez have also pleaded guilty for their roles with Iza, with sentencing scheduled for January and November 2026. Another former sheriff’s deputy, Eric Chase Saavedra, admitted guilt earlier in February and awaits sentencing for accepting bribes connected to influencing the LAPD.
During his fraudulent ventures, Iza acquired cryptocurrencies worth over $16 million. Together with his former partner Iris Ramaya Au, who admitted failing to report $2.6 million in illicit income, he spent around $10 million on luxury goods.

Facing Harsh Sentences
Michael Coberg is set to be sentenced on February 17, 2026. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison for extortion, plus an additional 10 years for conspiracy against individuals. The case is shaping up to be one of the starkest examples of how deep the ties between crypto crime and corrupt law enforcement can go.

Japan’s central bank is at a turning point. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) has hinted it may raise interest rates again as early as October, even as sharp disagreements within its board fuel uncertainty and speculation.

Board Split Shakes Market Expectations
At its September 18–19 meeting, the BoJ kept the benchmark rate unchanged at 0.5%. However, the summary of discussions released this week revealed that two of the nine board members supported a hike, with one arguing it might be appropriate to act soon.
Others pushed back, warning that an unexpected slowdown in the U.S. economy could severely impact Japan. Still, the report moved markets instantly: the yen weakened against the dollar while government bond yields climbed, as traders priced in tighter monetary conditions.
Just weeks ago, markets saw only a 40% chance of a rate hike. Following the release of the minutes, odds for a move at the October 30 meeting surged to 70%.

The Surprise Hawkish Turn of Noguchi
What truly shocked markets was the source of dissent. Asahi Noguchi, long considered one of the board’s most dovish members, declared that a rate hike is now “more desirable than ever.” Noguchi had resisted tightening for years, warning of risks to growth. His shift underscores mounting concern within the board that excessively loose policy could prove dangerous in a persistently high-inflation environment.
Analysts call this a turning point: inflation is running above the BoJ’s 2% target, wage negotiations are showing momentum, and arguments for normalization are strengthening. Yet the board remains divided, with some members still pointing to weak household spending and global risks that could derail Japan’s fragile recovery.

Ueda Faces His First Major Test
Governor Kazuo Ueda, the first academic to lead the BoJ, has so far favored a gradual approach. Since taking office last year, he has signaled a slow retreat from ultra-loose policy. But the divisions now surfacing highlight how fragile consensus has become.
Markets and economists see October as decisive. Whether action is taken or not, the question is no longer if Japan will hike rates again, but when.

Inflation Keeps the Pressure On
The BoJ has kept rates steady since July, when it raised them for the first time in 17 years. Inflation has remained above the 2% target, driven largely by food and energy prices. Still, officials insist that sustained wage growth is a prerequisite for committing to further tightening.
The September meeting also brought another signal toward normalization: the BoJ announced plans to gradually scale back its purchases of ETFs and REITs, which markets interpreted as another step toward policy tightening.

Uncertainty Still Dominates
The global outlook remains unpredictable. China’s economy is slowing, while the U.S. is sending mixed signals. Key data due in the coming weeks—including the Tankan business sentiment survey and regional economic reports—may tip the balance in the BoJ’s next decision.
Japan now stands at a crossroads. October could mark the beginning of the end of its decade-long experiment with near-zero interest rates, setting the world’s third-largest economy on a path toward policy normalization.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is signaling a willingness to embrace new crypto projects. Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her pro-innovation stance, recently emphasized that the agency aims to support the development of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization.

SEC on DePIN: Tokens as Incentives, Not Securities
According to Peirce, DePIN represents a completely new way of organizing human activity and allocating capital. These projects operate through peer-to-peer networks and provide real-world services such as cloud storage, telecom bandwidth, mapping solutions, or energy infrastructure.
“Today’s no-action letter shows that this activity allows infrastructure providers to spend their time building the core systems instead of constantly wading through the legal nuances of securities law,” Peirce explained.
The announcement came as the SEC addressed the distribution of DoubleZero’s tokens. The Commission underscored the importance of not holding back innovative projects with unnecessary enforcement actions. DePIN tokens are therefore not classified as securities—they serve as functional incentives and compensation for services or work rendered.
Unlike traditional investment instruments, DePIN tokens do not pass the Howey Test. They are not sold to investors with the expectation of profit but are distributed as rewards to network participants. This distinction fundamentally separates their nature from that of conventional securities.
Among the projects that could benefit from this updated SEC perspective are Bittensor (TAO), Render, Filecoin (FIL), The Graph (GRT), and other well-known DePIN protocols.

RWA Tokenization: SEC Seeks a Path Forward
Peirce also addressed the issue of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, which involves transferring physical or traditional financial assets into digital form on the blockchain.
She highlighted that the SEC is actively engaging with companies working in this field. The agency’s dedicated crypto working group has already consulted with firms such as Wintermute, a leading player in RWA development.
“We are prepared to work with anyone who wants to tokenize, and we encourage them to come and talk to us,” Peirce stated during her virtual address at the Digital Assets Summit in Singapore.

A Shift in the SEC’s Approach
Peirce’s remarks make it clear that the SEC is beginning to differentiate between purely speculative tokens and those with genuine utility in infrastructure or asset tokenization. This shift could help create a more stable and predictable environment for developers, companies, and investors, while strengthening confidence in the U.S. regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin is entering a pivotal moment. In October, the release of Bitcoin Core v30 is scheduled, but instead of consensus, it has reignited fierce debate over how the network should function and respond to new pressures.

OP_RETURN: Gateway to New Opportunities and Risks
The central feature of the update is an increase in the OP_RETURN limit, a function that allows non-financial data—such as messages, proofs, or files—to be attached to transactions. While this data cannot be spent, nodes will still relay and store it.
Supporters argue that expanding OP_RETURN offers individuals a cleaner and safer way to use Bitcoin for data transfer without clogging the system, since these outputs are provably unspendable. Critics counter that it opens the door to spam, illegal content, and risks steering Bitcoin away from its core purpose as a medium of exchange toward becoming a general-purpose data layer. The debate has been ongoing since at least 2010, as documented by BitMEX Research in its review of BitcoinTalk archives.

Strict Rules Versus Openness
Among the strongest critics is developer Luke Dashjr, maintainer of the Bitcoin Knots implementation. He has long argued for stricter data policies, labeling non-financial content as “spam” and pushing for filtering mechanisms to minimize what he considers abuse of block space.
In contrast, Blockstream CEO Adam Back warns that introducing censorship or selective filtering could create a dangerous precedent, potentially exposing Bitcoin to political interference and undermining its resilience.
Controversy also grew after claims that the OP_RETURN expansion was motivated by specific projects. Leaked emails pointed to Jameson Lopp of custody firm Casa, though he denied the allegations in May.

Old Disputes, New Legal Questions
According to Andrew M. Bailey of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, the underlying issue is not new: “Bitcoin has hosted problematic transactions and arbitrary data for more than a decade,” he noted.
What is new are the legal uncertainties. Bailey points out that it remains unclear whether legal protections such as Section 230 would shield node operators from liability for hosting harmful data. He also highlighted unresolved questions about whether different forms of on-chain data—signatures, witness items, or OP_RETURN outputs—carry distinct legal risks.

Open Conflict Within the Community
A pseudonymous developer known as Leonidas, creator of the DOG meme coin on Bitcoin, accused the Bitcoin Knots community of attempting to “censor ordinals and runes transactions” from the network. He claimed Dashjr has reframed the debate by invoking child exploitation material on the blockchain to spark moral panic and discredit opponents.
However, Erin Redwing, CEO of Inscribing Atlantis, argued that the debate over filtering is moot: “The reality is that this data cannot be removed from Bitcoin. Miners can decide which transactions to include in new blocks, but they cannot erase what’s already there.”

Trust in Math Over Human Judgment
Lorenzo, a core contributor to Fractal and founder of UniSat Wallet, emphasized that efforts to preserve Bitcoin’s immutable nature are technically justified. “We view blockchains as carriers of trust, built on cryptographic algorithms. It is this reliance on mathematics, rather than human judgment, that has enabled these systems to sustain long-term value,” he explained.

Dogecoin (DOGE) has shown how fierce the struggle between supply and demand has become. Although the coin briefly climbed to $0.24, it failed to hold this level. Strong selling pressure dragged the price back to $0.23, confirming that $0.24 remains a tough ceiling.

Whales Selling, Market Seeking Balance
A major reason for the failed breakout was whale activity. Large holders sold an estimated 40 million DOGE during the session, reducing their combined balances from around 11.0 billion to 10.75 billion coins. This heavy selling capped the rally despite high spot volumes.
Still, DOGE continues to trade above its 200-day moving average (200DMA) near $0.22. This line is now the key structural support. If shorter moving averages start to turn upward, the market could form a golden cross, a technical signal often seen as strongly bullish.

Price Range and Volumes
Between September 29 at 03:00 and September 30 at 02:00, DOGE moved within a narrow band of $0.23 to $0.24, about 4 percent. The most intense move came between 13:00 and 14:00, when buying pressure generated turnover of $780 million. Price rose from $0.23 to $0.24 but was immediately capped by strong selling.
In the final minutes of trading, DOGE once again touched $0.24 before quickly reversing to $0.23 on nearly $13 million in volume. The session closed with resistance confirmed and price stabilizing in the lower part of the range.

Technical Picture
Support remains at $0.23, where repeated intraday tests and consistent absorption suggest short-term accumulation. Below this, the 200DMA at $0.22 is the key structural line for trend-following investors. Resistance is firmly set at $0.24, where multiple rejections highlight its strength. Only a daily close above this level would open the way to $0.245–$0.25 and then to $0.255.
Overall, DOGE is consolidating between $0.23 and $0.24. A breakout or breakdown from this range will determine the next directional move. As long as DOGE holds above the 200DMA and whale outflows ease, the probability of further upside increases. However, a clean break below $0.23 would shift focus to $0.225–$0.22, potentially turning the current structure into a distribution top.

What Traders Are Watching
Traders are closely monitoring whether a daily close above $0.24 with rising volume can flip this level into support, opening the door to higher targets. They are also watching the defense of $0.23 on pullbacks—failure here would put the 200DMA back into play. Order book flows around $0.24–$0.245 will be key, as thinning sell walls with steady demand could set up an upside breakout.
For now, DOGE remains in a tight consolidation, with volatility building toward the next major impulse. Sustainable breakouts will require not only volume but also market breadth. A crossover of shorter moving averages while price holds above $0.23 would give systematic strategies a clearer technical trigger to re-enter long positions.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken a major step that could reshape the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies. The agency approved the DoubleZero project and confirmed that its token 2Z will not be classified as a security—a sign that may mark a shift from its previously strict stance.

A Historic No-Action Letter
DoubleZero received a so-called “no-action letter” from the SEC. This means the Division of Corporate Finance reviewed the distribution of the 2Z token and decided not to pursue any enforcement actions. According to the company, this represents a breakthrough—clear evidence that a utility-focused token does not have to be automatically treated as an investment instrument.
The DoubleZero project aims to build a global blockchain-based network that leverages underused submarine and terrestrial fiber optic cables. The 2Z token serves a practical purpose within this ecosystem—enabling validators to access bandwidth and earn staking rewards for their contributions.

Parallels With Ripple and Greater Clarity for Crypto Firms
The SEC’s decision echoes the well-known Ripple Labs case. At the time, a federal judge ruled that XRP was considered a security only when sold to institutional investors, while everyday trading on exchanges did not meet that classification. It was a pivotal moment, demonstrating that a token’s status depends on its specific use and context.
Now, this principle has been extended even further—DoubleZero received the green light before its network has even gone live. Analysts describe this move as a milestone that could bring long-awaited certainty to crypto companies and pave the way for new innovative projects.

SEC Removes Delays for Crypto ETFs
Alongside the DoubleZero ruling, the SEC also withdrew delay notices for several cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), signaling that their approval process will move forward more quickly and predictably. This affects products based on Solana (SOL), XRP, Hedera (HBAR), Litecoin (LTC), and Cardano (ADA).
The step comes shortly after the adoption of generic listing standards for crypto ETFs, set to take effect on October 1. These updated rules outline how exchanges and fund managers should list and operate crypto ETFs, allowing the SEC to process applications more efficiently while ensuring compliance with new standards.
Major players such as Bitwise, VanEck, Fidelity, 21Shares, Invesco Galaxy, and Franklin are among the applicants. Thanks to the removal of delays, their products could reach the market sooner—boosting investor confidence and strengthening the sector’s stability.

A Signal of Softer Regulation
The SEC’s decisions on both DoubleZero and crypto ETFs send a clear message: the U.S. regulator is beginning to distinguish between purely speculative tokens and those with legitimate utility. This more nuanced approach could create a stronger framework for innovation while reinforcing the United States’ position in the global cryptocurrency and blockchain industry.

The giants of the Ethereum market are returning. Bitmine has purchased more than 252,000 ETH in just three days, and analysts suggest that the current correction could be nothing more than calm before a major rally.

Key Takeaways
🔹 Ethereum whales, including Bitmine, have accumulated over 252,000 ETH in three days

🔹 Ethereum ETFs, however, saw record weekly outflows totaling nearly $796 million

🔹 Historical patterns indicate Q4 could deliver significant gains and potentially push ETH toward $10,000

Whales Accumulate Massive Amounts of ETH

Bitmine, led by Tom Lee, has embarked on a buying spree, adding 252,441 ETH in just three days. The firm now controls more than 2.2 million ETH, valued at $8.84 billion.

Another notable move came from wallet 0xE37F. Five months ago, it sold 1,857 ETH at $2,251 each, but it has now returned to the market. Today, the wallet acquired 1,501 ETH worth $6.17 million at a price of $4,114 per coin.

These moves highlight a clear trend: whales are building their positions even though a short-term correction could still be on the horizon.

ETFs Report Record Outflows

In contrast to whale activity, Ethereum-linked institutional products are seeing heavy losses. This week, outflows totaled $795.56 million—the largest weekly decline since their inception.
This sudden reversal wiped out much of the momentum gained in August and early September, when inflows pushed total assets under management above $30 billion. Currently, AUM has dropped back to $26 billion.

Could Q4 Be the Breakthrough for ETH?
Ethereum has endured a volatile year with both highs and lows, but the fourth quarter may prove decisive. Historically, when ETH ended Q3 on strong footing, its Q4 gains more than doubled, pushing prices to new highs.

According to analyst TedPillows, ETH has entered a healthy correction after rallying nearly 250% from its lows. Such corrections are typical within major bull trends and often set the stage for the next leg higher.
If history repeats, the current pullback may be the launchpad for another bullish wave—this time potentially carrying ETH beyond the $10,000 mark.

Short-Term Outlook
After last week’s decline, ETH has bounced back above $4,100 and appears stable. The RSI is holding just below 45, signaling the asset is not oversold and still has room to grow if buying activity picks up. On the downside, trading volumes remain muted, showing momentum is not yet strong.

If bulls manage to defend the $4,000 support level, ETH could climb steadily higher. However, if that threshold breaks, the market might see another dip before recovery resumes.
