🛠 Ethereum Testnet Update
Ethereum is shutting down its largest testnet, Holesky, after the upcoming Fusaka fork in late September. Active since Sept 2023, Holesky tested staking and updates like Dencun & Pectra.
The new testnet Hoodi is now live and will serve as the main playground for future upgrades. For smart contract & dApp testing, Sepolia is recommended.
Looking ahead:
▪️Nov 2025: Fusaka hard fork → faster, cheaper rollups
▪️2026: Glamsterdam upgrade → block time cut to 6s

The trader, who lost $20 million on futures, said he expects a stock market crash within 72 hours.
According to him, Bitcoin may retest the 2021 ATH ($68,000), and all open long positions will be liquidated — the Fed will not intervene until a major event occurs.

📊 Bitcoin demand hits new all-time high
🔎 According to CryptoQuant, buyer demand for BTC has surged to record levels — around 350,000 BTC were purchased in the past month.
📝 At the same time, Bloomberg reports that long-term holders sold roughly 400,000 BTC, sparking concerns among traders.
However, Glassnode explains this as a natural “redistribution” — older investors are selling coins to new market participants.
Experts suggest the situation isn’t as alarming as it seems — the market may simply be rotating liquidity, not entering a new sell-off phase.

U.S. national debt Is 18 times larger than Bitcoin’s market cap
According to TimechainIndex, the current U.S. debt exceeding $38.1 trillion would amount to 368 million BTC — 18.4 times more than Bitcoin’s current circulating supply and 17.5 times greater than its total issuance of roughly 21 million BTC.
If you compare the pace of U.S. debt growth with Bitcoin issuance, the American debt machine has added the equivalent of a century’s worth of BTC supply since the beginning of the year.
Even at a price of $200,000 per BTC, repaying U.S. debt would require 190.6 million BTC — nine times the entire supply of the “digital gold.”
These comparisons have drawn attention because U.S. politicians have repeatedly claimed that Bitcoin could help the country pay off its national debt.

JPMORGAN CHASE CLOSES STRIKE CEO JACK MALLERS' ACCOUNTS
Banking giant JPMorgan Chase reportedly closed the personal bank accounts of Strike CEO Jack Mallers in September. It claimed to have detected "concerning activity" but providing no further details.
Mallers shared the closure letter on X. The incident reignited concerns about debanking practices targeting crypto executives, despite President Trump's August executive order prohibiting such actions against crypto-related initiatives.

Interesting observation: Almost the entire Bitcoin decline since October 10 has been driven by U.S. trading sessions.
While Asia and Europe showed more balanced or neutral flows, the American sessions consistently added selling pressure — effectively shaping the whole downside move.
Whether it’s macro fear, ETF outflows, or simply U.S. traders hitting the panic button more aggressively, the pattern is hard to ignore.
If sentiment flips in the U.S., the trend could change just as fast.
