🚨NEWS IN: INFLATION COOLS, A CASE FOR DIGITAL ASSETS LIKE ZEC🔥🔥🔥
October 9th: Economists at Citigroup forecast a welcome slowdown, anticipating September's core CPI will rise just 0.28%, down from August's 0.35%. While new tariffs could keep some goods prices firm, a significant cooling in housing inflation is expected to ease overall service costs. A potential government shutdown might delay this critical data, but analysts note that a softer labor market and moderating home prices are reducing the risk of sustained inflation.
In an era of economic uncertainty and unpredictable monetary policy, investors are increasingly seeking assets outside traditional systems. This underscores the value of decentralized, private digital currencies like $ZEC , well known for its privacy, which offers financial sovereignty and protection from inflationary pressures, making them a crucial part of a modern portfolio.

🚨NEWS IN: KERRISDALE SHORTS BITMINE, WARNS OF DAT MODEL COLLAPSE🔥🔥
October 9th. Kerrisdale Capital has announced a short position against Bitmine, a leading Ethereum treasury reserve company. The firm argues the entire Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) model is failing. As near-identical clone projects flood the market, the premiums these stocks once commanded are collapsing.
The ability to grow $ETH per share by issuing stock above its Net Asset Value (NAV) is vanishing. With over $100 billion raised by similar companies, the original scarcity that supported high valuations is broken. As a key example, MSTR's premium has plummeted. Kerrisdale predicts Bitmine's premium will continue to slide, projecting a potential downside of more than 40% as its stock price falls toward its net asset value, stalling its growth mechanism.
October 9th – Four.Meme ($FORM )has officially announced the $BNB meme season is in full swing, signaling a major surge in activity.

This impressive figure is not just a milestone on its own; it represents a revenue stream that is 2.6 times greater than that of its competitor, pump.fun($PUMP ), during the same period. The data clearly indicates where the current momentum and creator engagement in the meme coin space resides.

🚨WHALE WATCH: WHALE WALLET BREACHED, $20+ MILLION STOLEN🔥🔥🔥
October 9th. As reported by MLM Monitor, a significant Hyperliquid whale account was compromised due to an alleged private key leak. The security breach resulted in a complete draining of the wallet, with approximately $17 million in assets stolen directly from its Hyperliquid account.
In a related move, the attacker also withdrew about $3.1 million from the Plasma Syrup Vault.

🚨NEWS IN: THE $75 BILLION ILLICIT CRYPTO PROBLEM HAS PROMPTED OTHER COUNTRIES TO CONSIDER FOLLOWING THE US IN ASSET SEIZURE 🔥🔥
October 9th– A recent Bloomberg report, citing research from blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, reveals that a staggering $75 billion in cryptocurrency is tied to illicit activities and remains "on-chain," potentially within the grasp of global law enforcement. This has led to speculation that various governments may emulate the United States in treating seized digital assets as reserves.
The precedent is already being set. In August, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett confirmed that the US holds between $15 and $20 billion in seized $BTC . Delving deeper into the $75 billion figure, Chainalysis found that illicit entities themselves hold nearly $15 billion directly. The remaining $60-plus billion is located in downstream wallets—those with at least 10% of their funds originating from criminal sources.
A significant portion, over $40 billion, is controlled by darknet market administrators and vendors. Bitcoin dominates this illicit space, accounting for roughly 75% of the holdings, with $ETH and stablecoins also playing a major role. Overall, the value of these directly held illicit assets has skyrocketed by 259% compared to five years ago, with darknet-related wallets showing a compound annual growth rate exceeding 200%.
Despite this massive pool of identifiable assets, the ability of authorities to access the full $75 billion remains in question. While law enforcement efforts have intensified, significant challenges persist in the form of the specialized skills, international cooperation, and substantial funding required to effectively track and seize these digital assets.

🚨NEWS IN: LUXEMBOURG MAKES HISTORY WITH BITCOIN ETF INVESTMENT🔥🔥🔥
October 9th - The Luxembourg National Inter-Generational Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSIL) has announced a landmark allocation of 1% of its holdings to a $BTC ETF. This strategic move establishes FSIL as the first national fund within the entire Eurozone to invest directly in a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund.
This decision falls under a newly revised framework that now permits the fund to dedicate up to 15% of its assets to alternative investments, a category that explicitly includes cryptocurrencies. Established back in 2014, the FSIL was created with the long-term vision of building wealth for the nation's future generations. The fund, which currently manages approximately $730 million in assets, has historically maintained a conservative portfolio heavily weighted toward high-quality bonds. This initial foray into Bitcoin signals a modernizing approach to sovereign wealth management, cautiously exploring digital assets while maintaining its foundational, inter-generational mandate.

This formidable figure not only placed it ahead of $SOL but also brought it remarkably close to Ethereum's DEX volume, highlighting the intense competition and robust activity within the BSC ecosystem .

🚨NEWS IN: US INSTITUTIONAL DEMAND FUELS BITCOIN'S NEXT LEG HIGHER🔥🔥
On October 9, 2025, Bitcoin's market dynamics continue to be shaped by robust capital flows from the United States, providing crucial support for the asset's upward trajectory. This rebound, active since late September, is largely driven by US investors, mirroring a pattern that emerged when BTC first surpassed $100,000 in May.
A critical indicator of this US-driven demand is the activity around Spot $BTC ETFs. These financial products have seen continuous net inflows, with the combined spot exposure from ETFs and CME open interest reaching a significant 29,670 BTC. This level of institutional buying demand is on par with the peaks seen in April and June of 2025, creating a solid foundation for further price appreciation. This sustained interest comes as the market shows resilience, with Bitcoin trading around $121,000 - 123, 500 after recently reaching a new all-time high.
From a technical perspective, the market is currently viewed as an extension of the trend that began in April. For the bullish outlook to remain intact, it is essential for Bitcoin to hold the key support level at $121,000. As long as the price stays above this threshold, the expectation for continued growth is justified. Analysts note that while this is a healthy phase, the market requires participation from other capital sources beyond the US to sustain its long-term upward momentum.
