Bitget’s COO believes there is no logical reason to expect a traditional altcoin season in the current market cycle. According to him, most altcoins are not introducing groundbreaking technology or significant updates that could drive widespread rallies. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has increasingly decoupled from both traditional markets and the broader crypto space, often surging independently while altcoins continue to struggle.

Future market growth, he argues, will likely be driven by specific narratives — such as real-world asset (RWA) tokens — rather than the broad, “everything goes up” rallies seen in previous cycles. Additionally, the market’s expectations remain unrealistically high, with many investors demanding rapid results. Unlike traditional startups, crypto projects face immediate pressure from retail investors, which can stifle their development and performance.

As a result, many analysts now suggest focusing primarily on Bitcoin, as even Ethereum is showing little momentum. In conclusion, this cycle could become heavily Bitcoin-centric, with only selective altcoins experiencing pumps driven by strong narratives or specific trends.

Hyperliquid has officially activated its HIP-3 update on October 13, marking a major step toward its vision of becoming a true “platform of platforms.” With this upgrade, developers can now independently launch perpetual futures markets directly on HyperCore, expanding the ecosystem’s flexibility and decentralization.

To gain listing rights for new markets, participants must take part in 31-hour Dutch auctions denominated in HYPE tokens. In addition, each participant is required to provide a 500,000 HYPE collateral deposit to ensure commitment and market integrity.

Once approved, market creators will have the ability to configure their own trading parameters and can earn up to 50% of the base trading fees generated by their markets. This model not only incentivizes innovation but also ensures the continued stability of the overall system.

By allowing diverse decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to operate independently while sharing a common infrastructure, the HIP-3 upgrade brings Hyperliquid closer to the core ideals of decentralization. With this evolution, Hyperliquid is positioning itself as a foundational layer — a platform upon which other platforms can be built.

Changpeng Zhao Warns of Fake Meme Coin Airdrops

After the recent hack of the BNB Chain’s official account, scammers have been distributing fake Wallet Connect links to unsuspecting users. In response, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has urged the crypto community to remain vigilant, emphasizing that even verified sources can be compromised.

Reports indicate that the fraudulent domains used in the attack closely imitated the official BNB Chain website, with only a single letter difference in their web addresses — a classic phishing tactic designed to deceive users.

The Inferno Drainer group, active since 2022, is believed to be behind this breach. The group is notorious for developing phishing templates that target crypto wallets and for conducting large-scale phishing operations across the blockchain ecosystem.

Visa Tests Stablecoin Payments

Visa has launched a pilot program aimed at enabling payments to content creators and freelancers using stablecoins.

In this initial phase, the project utilizes USD Coin (USDC), allowing participants to receive payments directly into their crypto wallets.

MSCI considers removing crypto-treasury companies from its indexes

Index provider MSCI has launched a consultation on excluding companies that hold more than 50% of their assets in cryptocurrency. These so-called Digital Asset Treasury Companies include Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which owns the largest corporate Bitcoin reserve in the world.

According to JPMorgan, a potential removal of Strategy from MSCI indexes could trigger large-scale forced selling by ETFs and passive funds — pressuring the company’s stock and indirectly affecting the broader Bitcoin narrative around corporate BTC holdings.

Eric Trump stays with ABTC despite the stock crash
