[Robinhood says stock token volumes are nearing SEC exemption cap]
Robinhood’s stock token trading volume is approaching the limit allowed under the U.S. SEC’s innovation exemption, Johann Kerbrat, the company’s crypto chief, told The Block.
Kerbrat said the SEC exemption includes limits on trading volume and on the types of assets that can be tokenized. Based on Robinhood’s current stock token volume, the platform is likely to reach the allowed threshold soon, he said. Kerbrat added Robinhood plans to tokenize more U.S. stocks and ETFs as the SEC appears to understand the advantages of tokenization.
Robinhood’s stock tokens are not available to U.S. users. The SEC’s five-year innovation exemption also caps the number of tradable listings and trading volume, while requiring the tokens to carry the same rights as the underlying shares, according to the interview.

[Aave founder says 114 ETH theft involved third-party adapter, not Aave v3]
Aave founder Stani Kulechov said on X the Loop Safe module exploited in the theft of about 114 ETH was a third-party external adapter built on Aave, not an Aave v3 contract, and Aave v3 was unaffected.
Earlier, blockchain security firm SlowMist said a vulnerability in the Loop Safe module linked to Aave v3 was exploited, resulting in the theft of assets worth about 114.09 ETH. The attacker was found to have exploited a flaw that allowed fake Safe wallets to pass authorization checks.

[BTC futures buy pressure hits highest since Aug. 19, analyst warns of long liquidation below $83K]
Bitcoin could face a deeper decline if it falls below $83,000, as newly opened long positions entered above that level may be unwound, on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr. said in a blog post.
He said buy pressure in the BTC futures market had climbed to its highest level since Aug. 19, while open interest increased by about 8,900 BTC over the past 24 hours. Over the same period, BTC rose from $83,400 to $85,300. Even if buy pressure slows, holding above $85,000 could signal the market is preserving those gains, Adler said.

[South Korea tax agency to build 100-blockchain tracking network ahead of crypto tax]
South Korea’s National Tax Service is accelerating the buildout of a transaction-tracking network ahead of virtual asset taxation next year, Seoul Economy reported in an exclusive.
According to the report, citing financial industry sources on Oct. 2, the National Tax Service plans to equip its integrated virtual asset analysis system, which is being built by the end of this year, with a function that can automatically trace transactions across more than 100 blockchains. The agency also plans to track mixing transactions designed to obscure fund flows by blending multiple users’ cryptocurrencies. In addition, it plans to add features that can reverse-analyze mixed transactions and automatically detect suspicious activity, including splitting crypto across multiple wallets or moving it repeatedly.

[Trader Killa says BTC trend reversal is clear, sees $82.5K as key floor]
Crypto trader Killa said on X that BTC is showing a clear trend reversal, while the market still appears skeptical of the rally despite those signals.
Killa said any price pullback should be bought quickly and aggressively. Killa added that during the 2023 bull market, breaks below major lows were capped at as much as 8%, with some limited to 4% to 5% before the uptrend resumed. Using $82,500 as the current key low, Killa said further downside may also remain limited, while adding that leverage should be kept low and risk should be managed.

Citi raised its target price on Strategy (MSTR) to $240 from $136 and maintained a Buy rating after increasing its 12-month Bitcoin price forecast by 39% to $113,400, Walter Bloomberg reported.
Citi estimated about 34 percentage points of the target-price increase would come from Bitcoin’s price gains, while an additional 16 percentage points would be driven by an expansion in mNAV, or market value relative to net asset value. Citi also raised its Bitcoin Yield Multiple for Strategy to 4.0x from 2.5x and, based on that change, assumed an mNAV of 1.24x.
