After Ethereum switched to Proof-of-Stake, over 78% of new blocks once followed OFAC compliance rules, effectively censoring sanctioned addresses 🧐

Now that number has dropped to 37% — a major step toward restoring Ethereum’s neutrality. ⚖️

Looks like the network is slowly shaking off the “Big Brother” vibes and returning to its decentralized roots. 🚫👮‍♂️

💰 10x Research: Bitcoin may be too expensive for retail investors, and that could threaten the extension of the current bull cycle! 🙀

At ~$114K per BTC, analysts argue that diminishing returns and shrinking accessibility make it harder for new retail money to enter the market. 📉

While models like Stock-to-Flow predict $1M, 10x Research sees a more modest $125K top by year-end — questioning whether the “four-year cycle” idea still holds. 🤔

Meanwhile, institutions and “smart money” continue stacking BTC, while small investors are left watching from the sidelines. 🤷

📊 Trading volume on decentralized futures exchanges (DEX) surpassed $2 trillion in Q3 — a new milestone for on-chain derivatives. 🚀

The leaders of the race: Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Aster.

Looks like DEXs are no longer just “alternatives” — they’re quietly eating into CEX territory. 💵🔗

The AASI (Active Address Sentiment Indicator) is flashing a potential Bitcoin bottom signal. 📉➡️📈

🔎 The metric tracks on-chain activity and sentiment among active BTC addresses — and current readings suggest that sellers may be exhausted.

This could mark the calm before the next upward move. 🚀

💰 Institutions are deep in crypto 👀

Bitwise shared a chart showing just how many major banks and financial giants are already involved in the crypto market and blockchain tech. 🏦💻

Still think they’ll let the industry collapse that easily? Yeah, sure… 🤭

🤩 Altseason is coming… just not yet.

According to CryptoQuant, the market is currently in a moderate phase — no signs of extreme overheating. 📊

Analysts believe the true altseason will hit near the end of the cycle, once we see a strong inflow of capital — just like in 2021. 💥

So don’t panic — there’s still plenty of room to run, especially for alts. ✊🚀

🧬 Tick-tock, crypto… Quantum time is coming... ⏳

Researcher Charles Edwards warns that quantum tech could break Bitcoin’s encryption within 2 years — and he’s not alone:

🔴 Jameson Lopp (2024): 50% chance of a quantum breach in 4–9 years.
🔴 Pierre-Luc Daller-Demers (2025): 2–6 years to crack elliptic-curve cryptography.
🔴 McKinsey: “Q-Day” could arrive in 2–10 years.
🔴 Microsoft, IonQ & Meta: BTC could fall once machines hit ~2330 qubits — expected within 4 years.
🔴 US DoD (2025): crypto-breaking computers in ~3 years.

Looks like Bitcoin might soon face its final boss fight — quantum edition. ⚔️💥

🇫🇷 France wants its own Bitcoin reserve — 420,000 BTC worth ~$48B.

Eric Ciotti’s party (UDR) plans to propose a law to create a “national digital gold” reserve — about 2% of total BTC supply — to be accumulated over 7–8 years. 💰

The fund would grow through:

1️⃣ Mining with surplus nuclear & hydro energy ⚡️
2️⃣ Holding confiscated BTC 💼
3️⃣ Daily government purchases of €15M via public savings programs (Livret A, LDDS) 🇫🇷

Goal: strengthen financial sovereignty and diversify France’s reserves.

📈 For the first time ever, stablecoin transaction volume has surpassed crypto trading volume! 💵⚡️

This shift signals growing real-world adoption — from payments and settlements to everyday commerce. 🏪💳

At the same time, it boosts on-chain liquidity, showing that crypto is slowly moving from speculation to actual utility. 🌐

🇺🇸 The Fed cut rates by 0.25% to a range of 3.75–4%, but Powell’s tone was far from dovish 🫤

He hinted at a possible pause in December, said QT is nearly done, blamed the shutdown for uncertain data, and even mentioned that QE could return later — but insisted the current market “isn’t a real bubble.” 🧐

📉 Bitcoin instantly reacted, sliding to $110K — looks like Powell joined team bears today.

🇨🇳 Then came the Trump–Xi meeting, which ended twice as fast as planned and without a joint statement. BTC briefly dipped to $108K. 🙀

📈 Later, markets calmed down after reports that the U.S. will cut tariffs on Chinese goods to 47%, while China agreed to buy U.S. soybeans and keep rare-earth exports flowing for a year. 👀

Trump rated the meeting “12 out of 10,” while traders called it “better than feared.”

🚀 Robert Kiyosaki is calling for Bitcoin at $200K by the end of the year

📝 In his latest post, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author said BTC could double in price, pointing to growing investor demand and macro tailwinds. 👀

The broader backdrop looks supportive — especially after the positive outcome of U.S.–China talks, which eased market tensions.

📈 Bitcoin is already recovering from yesterday’s drop. Could a new ATH be next? 🥹

🤖 Telegram launches Cocoon — a decentralized network for secure and private AI computing

The Confidential Compute Open Network (Cocoon) will let GPU owners earn TON tokens by processing developers’ AI workloads. 🎮

🚀 Telegram itself will be the first major user of the network and plans to promote Cocoon globally, strengthening the link between TON, AI, and Web3.

Looks like Telegram is going all-in on the AI + crypto fusion 🔥

💻📈 Bitcoin mining difficulty hits a new all-time high — 155.97 trillion!

Now miners must compute roughly 155 trillion hashes to find a single block and earn the 3.125 BTC reward (≈ $346K at current prices). 🧐

⚙️ The rising difficulty shows the network’s record-level security and competition — mining has never been tougher, or more expensive.

↗️ Tether has become the 17th largest holder of U.S. government debt, surpassing South Korea 🇰🇷

According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, the company now holds $135 billion in U.S. Treasury bills — a massive amount even by sovereign standards. 💰

Next on the list is Brazil 🇧🇷.

💵 The stablecoin giant is rapidly turning into a major player in the U.S. debt market — another sign of crypto’s growing influence on global finance.

🚀 Ethereum activity hits record highs — both transaction count and number of active addresses have reached new all-time records

🔥 Despite the surge in on-chain activity, gas fees remain near historical lows, showing how much the network has scaled and optimized.

Looks like Ethereum is busier than ever — but cheaper to use than it’s ever been. 💪

🩸 October is shaping up to be a “red” month for Bitcoin, currently down -2.69%.

If this trend holds, it would be only the third negative October in BTC’s history. 🧐

A reminder that sometimes autumn brings not just falling leaves 🍂, but falling prices too.

📊 Since 2013, NVIDIA and Bitcoin have moved almost in sync — but now the chip giant has pulled far ahead: $5T vs $2T.

Some analysts see this as a bullish divergence, hinting that BTC could soon catch up. 📈

Others warn of the opposite — a potential AI bubble ready to burst, which could drag both assets down.💥📉

📈 Zcash (ZEC) has officially surpassed Monero (XMR) by market capitalization!

ZEC hit $381, exceeding its 2021 high (~$370) and bringing its market cap to $6.25B, compared to $5.9B for XMR. 🧐

The key difference lies in regulation: Zcash offers optional privacy, allowing it to remain listed on major exchanges, while Monero’s default privacy settings have led to delistings and lower liquidity. 😎

After trading near $25 at the start of the year, ZEC has surged nearly 900% since September — one of the strongest performances among top cryptocurrencies in 2025. 🚀

🎂 Happy 17th Birthday, Bitcoin Whitepaper!

On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published the now-legendary paper describing a peer-to-peer electronic cash system — the blueprint that changed global finance forever. 🌍💻

17 years later, Bitcoin remains the symbol of decentralization and digital freedom. From a simple PDF to a $2T market — not bad for a Halloween drop. 🎃💰
