Tonight at 20:30, September CPI will be released. This is one of the most important macroeconomic data releases of the year.

Market expectations (consensus across several institutions):
- Headline CPI: 3.6% (previous: 3.4%), +0.6% month over month
- Core CPI: 2.5% (previous: 2.4%), +0.2% month over month

The key tension: headline and core inflation differ by 1.1 percentage points, almost entirely because of energy. Brent crude is at $106, up 70% year over year. But the Fed is really focused on core inflation—especially the monthly change in core CPI.

Three scenarios:
1. Core CPI rises 0.2% month over month (in line with expectations): The energy-driven explanation holds up, and the Fed can wait. A December rate hike remains the base case.
2. Core CPI rises 0.3% or more month over month: Rate-hike expectations move forward, and the odds of a hike at the October 28 meeting jump from 25% toward 50%.
3. Below expectations: Markets breathe a sigh of relief, and rate-cut expectations revive.

Background: The federal funds rate is 3.75%–4.00%, and the Fed is still in a rate-hiking cycle. Markets price in a 77% chance of no change on October 28 and an 85% chance of at least one more hike before December. New York Fed President Williams said yesterday that there will be one more hike this year, but none in 2027.

Tonight, focus on the monthly change in core CPI—not just the headline number.

Polymarket CEO hints at a token again: this time he mentioned a "chain-based utility asset."

At TOKEN2049 Singapore on October 7-8, Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan was asked about a token and said the platform is exploring a "chain-based asset tied to the ecosystem," emphasizing programmable utility. But — no launch date, no token name, no allocation plan.

This is not the first time:
- October 2025: Coplan posted a cryptic "$POLY" on X
- February 2026: the parent company filed the POLY trademark
- March 2026: the CMO said there would be a token and an airdrop after the U.S. app launch

Background: ICE (NYSE parent company) invested $2 billion in October 2025 at an $8 billion valuation, then invested another $600 million in March 2026. In April, the valuation was rumored to be $15 billion, and in August it was rumored to be $20 billion+

My view: Coplan always "hints" and never officially "announces." A prediction-market leader with no token — that combination itself is the biggest airdrop expectation. But regulation (U.S. business) and IPO options make token issuance complicated. If it really happens, it would be one of the biggest airdrops of 2026; if not, they'll keep teasing it.

Tokenized credit on Solana tops $1.4 billion, ranking third across all chains.

RWA.xyz data (AltcoinBuzz, October 14): Tokenized credit on Solana reached $1.4 billion, ranking third across all chains.

Solana’s official page (data as of the end of July): Non-stablecoin RWA totaled $3.7 billion, with 313,000 holders. The PRIME lending market on Kamino surpassed $350 million in TVL about three months after launch. ONyc’s on-chain market cap was $247 million, with DeFi TVL of $186 million. Around 75% of circulating ONyc is deployed in lending, liquidity pools, and yield strategies.

Solana’s advantage is composability: credit instruments can plug into lending protocols, serve as collateral, trade on DEXs, and settle with stablecoins within the same transaction environment.

In the RWA space, Solana is evolving from a “fast chain” into an “asset chain.”

Binance announces: EPIC and QUICK to be delisted on October 28.

In an announcement on October 14, Binance said it will delist all spot trading pairs for Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK) at 03:00 UTC on October 28. Following the news, QUICK fell by around 10%.

Timeline:
- October 20, 08:30 UTC: No new positions can be opened; positions will be automatically closed and settled at 09:00
- October 21: Spot copy trading will be suspended
- October 28, 03:00 UTC: Spot trading will be delisted and all open orders canceled
- December 28: Withdrawals will be closed

EPIC is the rebranded ERN (Ethernity Chain). It was swapped at a 1:1 ratio in early 2025 and only began trading on Binance in March. QUICK is the governance token of QuickSwap, a long-established DEX on Polygon. Its margin and futures settings were just adjusted in June.

Binance gave no specific reason, saying only that the tokens were being reviewed periodically. Holders have two more weeks to take action—don’t leave it until the last minute.

Justin Sun: TRON’s post-quantum signatures are now on testnet; mainnet can go live “at any time.”

Last weekend, Justin Sun posted that TRON’s post-quantum cryptography had gone live on the Nile testnet, with the goal of becoming one of the few mainstream public blockchains to be quantum-resistant before “Q-Day” (the day quantum computers can break current signatures) arrives.

Technical details (Cointelegraph/AltcoinBuzz):
- Activated on July 2 via Proposal No. 20628, using two NIST-standard algorithms: FN-DSA-512 (Falcon) and ML-DSA-44 (Dilithium)
- Covers transaction signatures, Super Representative block-production signatures, node P2P handshakes, and signature verification in TVM smart contracts
- The trade-off is size: Falcon signatures are up to 667 bytes, while Dilithium signatures can reach 2,420 bytes—far larger than today’s 65-byte ECDSA signatures

A reality check: the testnet code was made public in late June, and the mainnet launch originally planned for Q3 has been pushed back to year-end. “Ready to go live at any time” is more of a statement of intent.

But TRON is betting on its fundamentals: $94 billion in USDT on-chain, 406 million accounts, and $28 billion in TVL. It’s the blockchain with the largest stablecoin settlement volume—and the one with the most to lose if signatures are cracked.

The NFT era has officially come to an end: Blur is shutting down on November 12.

Blur, which once took down OpenSea, announced on October 12 that the blur.io frontend will go offline on November 12. The numbers are brutal:

Monthly trading volume plunged from $1.43 billion in March 2023 to less than $7 million in March 2026—a 99.5% drop. At its peak, Blur accounted for over 70% of Ethereum NFT trading volume. According to Token Terminal, the protocol has generated zero revenue in three years—because it has always charged zero fees. After the BLUR announcement, the token fell another 29%, down 99.8% from its all-time high of $5.

Interestingly, only the website frontend is shutting down; the smart contracts will continue running on-chain, and BLUR holders still control the fee switch. But 99% of users only know how to use the website, so shutting down the frontend is practically the same as shutting down the service.

Founder Roquerre shut down Blast just ten days ago (TVL fell from $2 billion to $32 million). This NFT cycle is truly over.

Another public blockchain has conceded.

On October 12, DATA Network (formerly Story) announced that it would shut down its standalone blockchain and move its AI training data protocol entirely to Sui. The Sui Foundation put up $30 million, becoming its largest institutional token holder.

The numbers are interesting: the Trace registry launched in June and reached 270 million registrations in four months. In the project’s own words, maintaining a separate chain for a single use case means paying for validators, security, and infrastructure yourself—“which is basically rebuilding Walrus and Seal, both of which Sui already has.”

DATA tokens will migrate to Sui at a 1:1 ratio, so holders won’t need to swap their holdings.

The consolidation of public blockchains continues: appchains that can’t afford to operate independently are lining up to join larger ecosystems. Sui’s $30 million investment isn’t just buying a project—it’s buying a ticket into the AI data sector.

Australia is set to cap leverage on crypto derivatives at 2x.

ASIC’s October 12 proposal would extend the existing leverage cap for CFDs (contracts for difference) to derivatives settled in digital assets. The retail leverage cap for crypto CFDs would be 2:1—meaning you’d need at least $5,000 in margin to open a $10,000 position.

The figures speak for themselves: In the 2023–24 financial year, 68% of retail CFD clients lost money net, losing a total of A$458 million and paying another A$73 million in fees. In the six months after the 2021 intervention order took effect, quarterly retail losses fell from A$372 million to A$33 million—a 91% drop.

The proposal would also extend the intervention order by 10 years, to 2037 (it is currently due to expire in May 2027). The consultation closes on November 9.

Leverage is one of the fastest ways for retail investors to lose money, and this time regulators have hit the industry where it hurts.

The U.S. stock market closes, but on-chain trading is just getting started.

Blockworks data (cited by Kobeissi Letter, October 14): More than 70% of tokenized stock trades on BNB Chain take place outside regular U.S. market hours (9:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. ET). The figure is 63% on Solana and nearly 60% on Base.

This isn’t a coincidence—it’s the core value proposition of tokenized stocks: when the U.S. market closes, trading doesn’t have to stop. Investors in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East don’t have to wait for New York to open; they can act as soon as earnings reports or macro news come out.

The market is growing, too: RWA.xyz data shows the total market cap of tokenized stocks is nearing $3.3 billion, up 15% in 30 days. On Solana, trading volume for tokenized assets on Jupiter rose 50% month over month.

Regulation is catching up, too: last month, the SEC introduced an “innovation exemption,” allowing compliant venues to trade tokenized U.S. stocks on public blockchains.

One trusted relayer key. 19,000,000 THEO tokens printed out of thin air.

Autheo’s THEO fell 92% on Base in 24 hours (PeckShield, October 13 data). An attacker obtained a trusted relayer key for the Hyperlane bridge and minted 19 million unbacked THEO, dumped them into liquidity pools in exchange for 700.8 ETH (about $1.76 million), then bridged the funds back to Ethereum mainnet.

The project team issued a security warning on October 12: don’t buy, sell, or bridge tokens until the investigation is complete. Some researchers say the actual amount minted may be as high as 119 million tokens (about 70% of the supply), but the project team has not confirmed this.

Another cross-chain bridge, another cross-chain bridge incident. A single point of failure in the form of a key equals a money printer—and this playbook is still playing out in 2026.

Tonight at 20:30, CPI will determine whether $BTC heads up to $86,000 or down to $80,000.

September CPI will be released tonight at 20:30 Beijing time by the U.S. Department of Labor. Market expectations: headline inflation at 3.6%–3.7% (3.4% in August) and core inflation at 2.5% (2.4% in August). The key figure is month-over-month core inflation: 0.2% or below could fuel rate-cut expectations—a positive for the market; 0.3% or above could bring rate-hike concerns back, and $BTC could head straight to $80,000.

This morning, it was hovering between $83,000 and $84,000 (composite quotes for October 14). The backdrop isn’t very favorable: spot ETFs saw another $65 million in outflows on Monday, bringing October’s total outflows to $451 million; the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is at 5.22%, after hitting a 24-year high of 5.37% last Thursday.

Analysts have drawn a clear line (crypto.news): softer data → rebound toward $86,000; hotter data → drop below $80,000. The Fed’s October 28 rate decision is approaching, and the probability of a rate hike has fallen from 42.5% a month ago to 19.4%—tonight’s data will determine which way it moves.

On CPI night, keep your position size modest. We’ll see what happens tomorrow morning.

A quick recap of today’s market: one pattern really stands out.

BTC hovered around 83,000 today, while ETH barely moved. The broader market was weak overall. But look at what’s rising: PEPE +7.6%, $ZRO +16%, $MET +60%, CHIP +29%, and $RSR surged ahead of its exchange listing. Every one of them had a specific catalyst: a product launch, an exchange listing, an ETF, or a coin-accumulation strategy.

Coins without a story spent the day getting dragged down with the broader market. Coins with a story went their own way.

This shows that the market is currently rewarding “event-driven” moves, not beta. CPI comes out tomorrow, and the broader market’s direction is still uncertain. But investors have already voted with their feet: rather than bet on the market as a whole, they’d rather look for the next asset with a catalyst.

Koreans sent $RSR soaring yesterday. Today, it gave back a quarter.

Upbit listed the RSR/KRW trading pair on October 12 (interactivecrypto), and trading volume immediately surged to 46 times its 30-day average, with the price touching $0.00282 intraday. It gained 34% over five days—then gave back about 25% from its peak within 24 hours.

I’ve seen this script too many times: Upbit lists a token, Korean retail traders pile in with FOMO, and the whales use the opportunity to sell. On the day volume surged 46-fold, sellers were happier than buyers.

The lesson in a nutshell: Before chasing a new Upbit listing, think about whose money you’re making. With this RSR rally, the candlestick chart has already given us the answer.

The AI narrative is picking up steam again—this time, it’s $CHIP.

USD.AI is up +29% in one day at $CHIP (cryptonews.net, October 12). Its strategy is “commit-and-compound”: the operating company buys and holds CHIP for the long term, increasing its share with every purchase. No buybacks and burns—instead, it’s accumulating tokens.

On-chain fund flows show CMF at +0.16, meaning real money is flowing in. Technically, $0.0717 is the near-term high; a breakout could target $0.080 and $0.112. If it pulls back, $0.043–0.053 is the buy zone.

Put simply: VVV made an early move in the AI+DeFi sector, and the market is starting to reprice AI tokens with “real products + real revenue.” CHIP is riding that same narrative.

Hong Kong has listed another SOL ETF today, with fees cut to 60% of the other fund’s rate.

The Pando Solana ETF (02831) was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 13, becoming Hong Kong’s second spot SOL ETF (confirmed by CryptoTimes and several other outlets). Key details:

◆ Management fee of 0.6%, just 60% of the rate charged by the ChinaAMC fund (0.99%); total expense ratio of 1.6% vs. 1.99%
◆ Tracks the Asia-Pacific closing price of the CME Solana Index; physically holds SOL, with no staking, derivatives, or leverage
◆ HashKey handles trading and custody; 100 shares per board lot, with an initial investment of around HK$800
◆ Pando’s third spot crypto ETF (the first two were BTC and ETH)

Background: Global spot SOL ETFs have around $1.9 billion in net assets and cumulative net inflows of $1.61 billion (according to Solana’s official figures). SOL ETFs in the US are still seeing outflows, while Hong Kong is accelerating its listings—the flow of capital is moving in completely opposite directions in the East and West.

My take: A fee war is good news for retail investors. You can buy exposure to $SOL directly through a Hong Kong stock account, without having to manage a wallet—the regulated investment channel just got a little wider.

Big trades on Aptos are now invisible to bots.

**What happened**
On October 13, Aptos launched Encrypted Mempool on mainnet (Cointelegraph): an optional feature that keeps transactions encrypted until their ordering is finalized. Bots can’t see which contracts you’re interacting with or how much you’re transferring—making frontrunning and sandwich attacks ineffective.

**Why it matters**
Sandwich attacks siphoned $60 million from Ethereum traders in a year, and $29.7 million across 6.9 million attacks on Solana in 11 months. In the past, large on-chain trades by whales were exposed for all to see. Now, Aptos lets them put their clothes on first. The target users are spelled out clearly: institutions, AI agents, and large traders.

**My take**
This is a genuine technical upgrade for an L1, not a token-promotion story. $APT may not necessarily rise in the short term, but the “institution-grade trading experience” narrative, alongside the broader trend of bringing RWAs on-chain, is a long-term plus. Just yesterday I said Aptos had graduated (its vesting period ended), and today there’s another technical development—this chain has been busy lately.

$APT holders, do you see this as bullish? Let’s discuss in the comments 👇

Another 16%—this time, it’s $ZRO ’s turn to hand in its homework.

LayerZero is up 16% today, with RSI hitting 76.14—a textbook overbought reading (cryptotimes, October 13). $2.50 is the ceiling right in front of us. A breakout could open up a new story; otherwise, this may just be a one-off pump.

Put simply: ZRO has been riding the cross-chain narrative for years, and every time it’s the same: “pump, then go sideways for six months.” This time, funds are simply rotating into the cross-chain sector, and it’s getting a free ride.

For those chasing the rally: catching a falling knife with RSI at 76—make it look stylish. Until a breakout above $2.50 is confirmed, I’m just watching.
