🔥 OPEN USD (OUSD) OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES ON ETHEREUM, SOLANA, BASE & TEMPO

⚡️ Open USD, the stablecoin from Open Standard, is now live across four networks: Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Tempo.

🟢 Backed by: Coinbase, Mastercard, Stripe, Visa, Shopify

🖤 Coinbase opens access from Oct. 1

This is a Big Tech payments stablecoin play, not a small crypto token. It is positioning itself to compete directly with USDT and USDC in the enterprise payments market.

🔥🔥🔥 TRUMP ANNOUNCES $200B SOUTH KOREAN INVESTMENT IN U.S. ENERGY

🏙 President Trump announced an approximately $200 billion South Korean investment package for U.S. energy infrastructure, with nuclear power as a key focus.
🖤 Framework to build 8 nuclear power plants in the U.S. (~$120B)
🖤 Large-scale gas-fired power complex in Texas (~6 GW)
🖤 Alaska LNG project under consideration (Seoul says it still depends on commercial terms)
🖤 Part of South Korea’s broader U.S. investment commitments in exchange for lower tariffs

🇺🇸 This is a long-term infrastructure agreement, not $200 billion already fully deployed. Nuclear and LNG projects still depend on regulatory approvals, financing, and construction timelines.

🚨 METAMASK DETECTS INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY INCIDENT, SAYS USER WALLETS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AT RISK

🔴 MetaMask is responding to a security incident affecting part of its infrastructure.
- The company says it has not identified any immediate threat to user wallets
- It proactively withdrew validators from its non-custodial staking operations as a precaution
- The staking service does not hold users’ withdrawal keys
- MetaMask is working with partners and security advisers to investigate the incident

Seed phrases and self-custodied wallets remain under users’ control. Do not click suspicious links or respond to fake “wallet verification” messages impersonating MetaMask.

🔥 FOREIGN INVESTORS SELL ¥1.34 TRILLION OF JAPANESE BONDS IN ONE WEEK

🔴 Foreign investors pulled ¥1.34 trillion out of Japanese government bonds over the past week.
🖤 JGB yields are near their highest levels since 1996
🖤 Rising domestic rates are making Japanese bonds less attractive to foreign capital
🖤 Foreign investors are reducing exposure to Japanese debt — not completely “abandoning Japan”

🇯🇵 Higher Japanese rates are shaking up the yen carry trade. Volatility in JGBs can spill over into U.S. Treasuries, gold, and global risk assets.

🔥🔥🔥 FED’S JEFFERSON: MORE TIME IS NEEDED — OCTOBER HIKE ODDS DROP FROM 38% → 25%

🏙 Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said that after the September rate hike, the Fed may need more time to assess incoming data before deciding on its next move.
🖤 Policy adjustments should depend on data trends, the economic outlook, and the balance of risks
🖤 Inflation remains elevated due to energy, tariffs, and AI-related demand
🟢 Odds of a rate hike at the Oct. 27–28 meeting fell from around 38% to 25%
📈 Markets are leaning more toward a hold in October, with any additional hike increasingly pushed toward December

The Fed is slowing the pace of back-to-back hikes. Short-term rates may ease, but long-term yields remain elevated due to U.S. debt and heavy Treasury supply.

🔥🔥🔥 OIL JUMPS MORE THAN 4%: BRENT ~$102, WTI ~$93

🛢 Oil prices surged on Oct. 1 as Middle East risks returned to the spotlight.
🇺🇸 The U.S. is considering deploying additional troops to the Middle East
🇨🇳 China has halted exports of refined oil products, tightening supply

🔴 Middle Eastern oil flows had just begun recovering, but renewed military headlines pushed prices higher again. As long as Hormuz and the U.S. military presence remain key variables, oil may struggle to sustain a one-way trend.

🔥🔥🔥 $NEAR DROPS 6% AFTER NEAR INTENTS IS HACKED FOR MORE THAN $3.8 MILLION

🔴 NEAR Intents suspended services after a vulnerability in its Omni deposit/withdrawal system caused losses of around $3.8 million. $NEAR fell about 6%.
🖤 The issue involved the interaction between Omni’s deposit/withdrawal infrastructure and the NEAR Intents smart contract
🖤 Most of the funds were drained on BNB Chain, including around 3.87 million USDT
🖤 ZachXBT: the funds were moved through KuCoin and then bridged into BTC
🖤 The team says the contract-side issue has been patched and has committed to fully reimburse affected users
🖤 Deposits and withdrawals across 11 networks — including BSC, Polygon, TON, Optimism, and Avalanche — remain temporarily suspended for roughly another 12 hours

The incident affected Intents, not the NEAR blockchain itself. The token was still sold off before reimbursements reached users.

🔥 NEAR INTENTS ISSUES 48-HOUR ULTIMATUM, DEMANDS HACKER RETURN FUNDS

🏙 Alex Shevchenko, GM of NEAR Intents, said the team has identified the person behind the roughly $3.8 million theft and is demanding the funds be returned within 48 hours under a “responsible disclosure” framework.
🟣 Refund addresses on BTC, BNB, and SOL have been publicly shared
🟣 The window closes after 48 hours, after which the case moves into tracing and legal enforcement
🟣 ZachXBT previously tracked the funds through KuCoin and then into BTC
🟣 The project still says affected users will be fully reimbursed
🟣 There are rumors of Lazarus Group involvement, but nothing has been officially confirmed

The ultimatum adds pressure, but it does not mean the money has been recovered. If the refund wallets are still empty after 48 hours, the chances of recovering the funds on-chain remain low. 😄😄😄

🔥🔥🔥 12:30 UTC TODAY: U.S. SEPTEMBER NONFARM PAYROLLS RELEASE

🇺🇸 U.S. jobs data will play a major role in shaping expectations for the Fed’s October meeting.
🟣 Jobs added: forecast 89,000–90,000 (previous: 162,000)
🟣 Unemployment rate: forecast 4.1% (previous: 4.1%)

📈 Weaker-than-expected jobs data would strengthen the case for the Fed to hold rates this month. A surprisingly strong print could push rate-hike odds back up, with Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar likely to react first.

ILLINOIS DELAYS CRYPTO TAX BY 6 MONTHS AFTER WAVE OF CRITICISM

🔈 Illinois has agreed to delay its 0.2% digital asset tax by six months, from Jan. 1 to July 1, 2027, subject to court approval. The lawsuit challenging the tax’s legality will continue.
🖤 Proposed rate: 0.2% on digital asset business activity
🖤 Applies to purchases, sales, transfers, and certain custody services
🖤 Revenue threshold: more than $100,000 in related activity
🖤 Both sides asked the court for a stay while the constitutional challenge proceeds
🖤 The tax has not been canceled — it is only delayed pending a court ruling
⚡️ To put it simply: a $10,000 buy-and-sell round trip could potentially cost an extra $40 in tax, excluding exchange fees and trading profits/losses.

Do you guys see this as regulation — or a disguised penalty? 😄😄😄

🔥🔥🔥 WEAK NFP NEARLY TAKES AN OCTOBER FED HIKE OFF THE TABLE

🤩 The U.S. September jobs report, released last night, came in much weaker than expected, pushing the probability of a Fed rate hike at the October meeting to very low levels.

📈 Market reaction:
🟡 The probability of an October Fed rate hike dropped sharply to around 16–17%, from roughly 25–28% before the report
🟡 Markets are now leaning toward the Fed holding rates unchanged at the Oct. 27–28 meeting
🟡 Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar came under downward pressure as expectations for further tightening eased

The labor market is cooling, but it has not broken down. The Fed could still keep the door open to a December rate hike if inflation fails to cool.

@BackcomGlobal

🚨 NFP IS DONE — THEN OIL REVERSES THE ENTIRE MARKET

🔴 Just about an hour later, oil rebounded nearly 4%, pushing U.S. Treasury yields back up and triggering a broad market reversal.

📉 The reversal:
🛢 Oil bounced sharply after a deep drop, reviving inflation concerns.
💸 U.S. Treasury yields climbed again after briefly cooling.
📈 U.S. stocks gave back nearly all of their early-session gains.
🟢 Gold and Bitcoin also cooled as yields and the U.S. dollar became less weak.

Markets quickly shifted from “the Fed will hold rates” to concerns that rising oil prices could reignite inflation. One hour was enough to erase most of the initial NFP reaction.

NEAR INTENTS HACKER RETURNS THE FULL $3.8M BEFORE THE 48-HOUR DEADLINE

🟢 NEAR Intents confirmed that the full amount of roughly $3.8 million taken in the exploit has been returned.
🖤 The hacker returned the funds before the 48-hour ultimatum expired
🖤 The team said it will stop the investigation into the incident
🖤 The vulnerability had already been patched
🖤 NEAR Intents had previously committed to fully compensating affected users

From “return the money within 48 hours” to actually getting it back. One of the rare hacks that ended with the full amount returned. 😄😄😄

@BackcomGlobal

⚡️ G7 TO RELEASE 100 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL: FULFILLING AN OLD COMMITMENT, NOT A NEW PLAN

📌 The G7 has agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil over the next four months to complete a commitment first made back in March — this is not a new reserve-release package.
🟡 This is the remaining portion of an existing agreement, not a new measure to push oil prices lower
🟡 The additional supply will be spread over four months, not released into the market all at once
🟡 Oil is still reacting strongly because of concerns over actual supply and geopolitical tensions, not just reserve-release headlines

So the nearly 4% rebound in oil after NFP was not because the G7 “opened a new reserve program,” but because the old commitment was not enough to ease inflation concerns.

🔥🔥🔥 FED’S GOOLSBEE THROWS COLD WATER ON THE POST-NFP RALLY: INFLATION STILL MATTERS MORE

🏙 Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said that despite the weak September jobs report, the U.S. labor market remains broadly stable and inflation is still the issue the Fed needs to focus on more closely.
🖤 The Fed will not overreact to one month of data
🖤 Goolsbee wants to see more evidence that inflation is moving back toward the 2% target
🖤 Both a rate hike and a hold remain on the table
🖤 He did not rule out any decision at the Fed’s next meeting

➡️ Weak NFP has narrowed the door for an October rate hike, but it has not completely closed it. If inflation stays hot, the Fed still has reasons to maintain a hawkish tone.
