#DOGE #XRP #Bitcoin #ETFs #Crypto #MarketDecline #Stablecoin #Memecoin #ApeCoin #Liquidity #BitcoinResistance #BTC
According to CoinDesk: The cryptocurrency market experienced a downturn as Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $80 million, breaking a seven-day streak of inflows. Leading the decline were major tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP, which fell 5% and 4%, respectively, while Bitcoin struggled to maintain momentum after failing to break the $70,000 resistance level.Key Highlights:Bitcoinโs Struggle: Bitcoin dropped 1% after a failed attempt to rally towards $70,000. This influenced a broader market decline, with the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, which tracks the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, falling by nearly 2%.Major Tokens Drop: Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP led the losses among major tokens, both giving up gains from earlier in the week. DOGE had rallied on Elon Muskโs endorsement, while XRP benefited from positive fundamental developments.ETFs See Outflows: U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs saw $80 million in net outflows, with Ark Investโs ARKB product losing a record $134 million. BlackRockโs iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led inflows with $42 million, while Fidelityโs FBTC and VanEckโs HODL brought in $8 million and $3 million, respectively.Stablecoin Concerns: Traders pointed to a lack of growth in stablecoin volume as a key reason for the marketโs slowdown. Stablecoins, often used as liquidity for quick crypto purchases, have seen stagnant volume since late September, potentially signaling a broader market slowdown.Market Outlook: Despite the dip, some traders expect Bitcoin to reach $80,000 in the coming weeks, especially with the U.S. presidential election drawing near. However, concerns about liquidity and resistance levels remain.Mid-cap and low-cap cryptocurrencies saw little movement, though memecoin BONK and ApeCoin (APE) led losses, each dropping over 7%. Analysts noted that Bitcoinโs failure to break past $70,000 resistance and a pause in stablecoin liquidity are major factors contributing to the marketโs current stagnation.#DOGE #XRP #Bitcoin #ETFs #Crypto #MarketDecline #Stablecoin #Memecoin #ApeCoin #Liquidity #BitcoinResistance #BTC

According to PANews, decentralized oracle provider Chainlink is set to introduce a new blockchain payment solution for financial institutions. Chainlink has partnered with Swift, the global messaging network used by banks and institutions, to demonstrate a new integration that allows institutions to interact with blockchain technology using Swift messages.
At the Sibos conference hosted by Swift in Beijing (UTC+8), Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov highlighted the practical value of this integration. He stated, 'We are currently in the pre-production phase, which means we are about to provide you with functionalities that can be truly implemented within your existing institutional systems.' Nazarov further explained that the solution leverages Swift's established messaging standards to execute pre-settlement and transaction confirmations, which are widely used in traditional finance (TradFi). Once confirmations are completed, Chainlink's infrastructure converts these messages into blockchain events, enabling financial institutions to lock assets on-chain and execute payment operations.
Additionally, Nazarov introduced the newly launched Blockchain Privacy Manager (BPM). This feature, combined with the new Swift integration, allows financial institutions to conduct sensitive transactions, including private tokenized asset trades and cross-border payments.#Chainlink #Swift #Blockchain #PaymentSolution #FinancialInstitutions #DecentralizedOracle #Sibos #TradFi #BlockchainPrivacyManager #CrossBorderPayments #LINK

According to BlockBeats, on October 23, DRW Venture Capital founder Don Wilson expressed in an interview with Coindesk that some legislators and regulators, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, hold a hostile attitude towards cryptocurrency because they 'truly believe in the power of the state,' and cryptocurrency undermines this power.
Wilson stated, 'If their worldview is that more government control makes the world a better place, then they will feel that any effort to slow down the development of cryptocurrency will make the world better, even if it means doing so in a somewhat unfair manner to market participants.'
Chelsea Pizzola, legal counsel for DRW, also mentioned that the company's attempt to register its crypto brokerage Cumberland Securities LLC with FINRA, which also regulates the U.S. market, was rejected. She noted that DRW is not the only firm that has tried to register and acquire a brokerage, sincerely attempting to engage with SEC trading and market staff over the years.
