[Analyst says wait for a pullback rather than chase XRP’s rebound]

Vandell Aljarrah, co-founder of crypto investment analysis and consulting platform Black Swan Capitalist, said investors may be better off waiting for a further pullback rather than chasing XRP’s recent rebound, according to The Crypto Basic. Aljarrah said investors who have not accumulated as much XRP as they wanted should avoid getting swept up in the rally and instead look for a better entry point if the token corrects again. The outlet added that any further pullback would not necessarily mean a return to the August low of $0.978. XRP was trading at $1.59, up 23.96% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.

[Kalshi seeks rules ahead of launch for stock-based perpetual futures]

Prediction market platform Kalshi is preparing to launch Perpetual SFPs, or perpetual futures tied to individual stocks, and has moved to establish listing and trading rules for the products.

According to the Federal Register, Kalshi submitted a proposed rule change to the U.S. SEC on Sept. 18 covering listing and trading standards for the products, and also applied to the U.S. CFTC for approval the same day.

[BTC may see profit-taking near $90K, but pullback would fit uptrend]

Bitcoin may face heavier profit-taking as it approaches $90,000, but any such move would likely be a natural correction within an uptrend rather than a trend reversal, CryptoQuant said, according to Cointelegraph. The analytics firm said the average cost basis for BTC moved within the past one to three months was $64,300, and the upper price zone where profit-taking could increase was around $90,300. That area overlaps with an on-chain supply cluster at $88,000-$90,000, which it identified as the next major resistance zone. Even if selling pressure rises there, CryptoQuant said it would not necessarily mean the uptrend has broken. From the current price of $86,000, the firm added, there appears to be little clear resistance before that zone, while technical indicators, valuation metrics and on-chain data continue to point to a bull market.

[Aave founder clarifies V4 misconceptions, says markets isolate risk and share liquidity]

Aave founder Stani Kulechov addressed several misconceptions about Aave V4 in a post on X. Responding to claims that V4 does not isolate risk by market, Kulechov said hubs and spokes are separated by risk level by default, while each spoke lending market can share liquidity through the hub within predefined limits.

He also pushed back on criticism that the hub-and-spoke structure fragments liquidity, saying the design instead lets multiple markets share liquidity to improve capital efficiency. On claims that V4 is no different from curated vaults, Kulechov said new spokes can use liquidity from the hub without having to bootstrap separate liquidity from scratch. He added that V4 currently has $1.2 billion in deposits and has been deployed on Ethereum, Avalanche and Arc.
