$BTC CFTC Chairman Michael Selig says only federally regulated crypto exchanges will offer leverage, while offshore platforms offering 100x leverage would remain prohibited under longstanding US rules.
Robinhood Adds $25M in $BTC to Its Own Balance Sheet
It's not a huge treasury by corporate standards, but for Robinhood it marks a first: the company has now disclosed its own proprietary BTC holding. A few other big Robinhood updates from 2026:
→ February: Robinhood Chain launched on public testnet (with $ETH used as gas coin)
→ June: WonderFi acquisition expanded its Canadian footprint
→ July: Robinhood Chain mainnet and Stock Tokens rolled out more broadly
→ August: crypto trading launched in the UK 🇬🇧
→ September: new crypto perpetuals and active-trading products were announced
→ October: $25M in Bitcoin added to the company's own balance sheet
A lot has changed from the old image of Robinhood as mainly a retail brokerage. Bitstamp, tokenized stocks, Robinhood Chain and international crypto trading have pushed the company much deeper into digital assets.
The BTC purchase is small compared with dedicated treasury companies, but it is another sign that Robinhood now wants exposure to crypto not only through customer activity, but also on its own books.
LTHs staying in profit is a strong structural signal. Unlike previous bear markets, holders aren't showing widespread capitulation, suggesting the long term $BTC structure remains resilient despite the volatility.

$ARB Fluid is bringing the USDG stablecoin to Arbitrum through its liquidity service, providing immediate market depth followed by lending to maximize capital efficiency onchain.
يقول مات هوغان، كبير مسؤولي الاستثمار في Bitwise، إن بيتكوين تسير على الطريق لتصبح #ذهبًا_رقميًا، مع استمرار انخفاض تقلباتها. فقد انخفض التقلب السنوي لـ$BTC من 66% خلال العقد الماضي إلى 44% خلال العام الماضي. ويشير انخفاض التقلبات إلى نضوج فئة الأصول، مما يعزز مكانة بيتكوين كمخزن للقيمة على المدى الطويل، بدلًا من كونها مجرد أصل مضاربي عالي المخاطر.
إذا استمر هذا الاتجاه، فقد يزداد تشابه نظرة المستثمرين إلى بيتكوين وتخصيصهم لها مع الذهب!
The U.S. government has moved roughly $103 million in crypto, transferring 833.6 $BTC worth about $71.56 million and 40,285 $BNB worth around $31.63 million.
All BTC was moved to Coinbase Prime, while the BNB took a more complex route through several transactions before reaching an unlabeled address.
Market attention will likely focus on the Coinbase Prime transfer, although an on-chain deposit does not necessarily mean the BTC was sold.
U.S. government-linked wallets still hold roughly $28 billion in crypto, including about 324,000 BTC, so this transfer represents a small portion of its holdings.
The next wallet movements will provide more context on whether the BTC is being prepared for a sale or simply moved for custody and asset management.
Peter Brandt Sees $XRP at $2.16 - But Says XMR, SOL and ETH Look Better
Veteran trader Peter Brandt has mapped out a possible move for XRP toward $2.16, which would mean roughly 43% upside from the $1.51 area shown on his chart. But he also made one thing clear: he still prefers several other crypto charts.
While $BTC remains the only crypto asset Brandt says he cares about fundamentally, his XRP view is based purely on price action. And right now, he sees both opportunity and a major obstacle:
• Bullish Pattern: Brandt sees a cup-and-handle structure that could also form the right shoulder of a larger inverse head-and-shoulders pattern.
• The $2.16 Target: Using a measured move from the pattern, he sees $2.16 as a possible objective if XRP continues higher.
• The Main Problem: Brandt says XRP has a "ton" of overhead supply from holders who bought higher during the 2025 rally and may sell as price returns toward $2-$3.70.
Brandt also ranked the alternatives. Monero is his clear favorite, while he described Solana's cup-and-handle setup as stronger than XRP's and said Ether has congestion without the same level of overhead supply.
If $XRP can absorb that selling pressure, $2.16 stays in play. But Brandt's warning is simple: chart targets are never guaranteed, and patterns can change fast.
Do you think XRP clears the overhead supply and reaches $2.16, or do XMR, SOL and ETH offer the cleaner setups?

The Coinbase Premium is showing an interesting shift. After months of mostly appearing more frequently as negative readings, positive prints are $BTC recovers from the $58K-$60K region.
Not a confirmed flip yet, but the change suggests US spot demand may be starting to return. Worth watching closely.

#Solana just posted another major network milestone: 14.2B non-vote transactions in Q3, up 45% QoQ. That kind of growth highlights accelerating network activity and adoption.
Two of the biggest crypto treasuries reported their weekly buys
Strategy added 334 $BTC between October 1 and 4, spending about $28.7M at an average price of ~$85,839. Total holdings are now 848,000 BTC, with an average cost of ~$75,441 per coin.
The interesting part is that this was Strategy's smallest positive Bitcoin purchase of 2026. In the same week, the company spent $176.3M on buybacks of its STRC preferred shares. So for now, a big chunk of the capital is going into supporting the preferred stock rather than stacking more BTC.
BitMine kept its streak going and bought another 15,112 $ETH last week. The treasury now holds 6,016,414 ETH, about 4.9% of the total supply, which puts it at 99% of its "Alchemy of 5%" goal. And over 5 million of those ETH are already staked.
Strategy is clearly managing its capital structure right now, while BitMine keeps buying every single week and is almost at its target. It'll be interesting to see what BitMine does once it hits 5%

Strive has purchased 2,000 BTC for roughly $169 million, at an average price of about $84,422 per Bitcoin. The latest purchase brings the company's Bitcoin treasury to 29,462 BTC.
That makes this one of Strive's largest Bitcoin purchases to date, and it comes as the company continues aggressively expanding its BTC treasury.
Strive also acquired 8,137 BTC during Q3 alone, showing just how quickly its Bitcoin accumulation strategy is accelerating.
Another 2,000 BTC added. Strive clearly isn't slowing down.
SEC approves first-ever 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
• The SEC approved Cboe BZX to list six new Volatility Shares ETFs, including 3x Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, along with 3x gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas ETFs.
• This is the first US approval of 3x leveraged $BTC and $ETH exchange-traded products.
• These are based on CME futures contracts, not spot Bitcoin or Ethereum holdings.
$ETH has spent 10 days trapped inside a 5.4% range.
But history doesn't support the "volatility explosion" call. Across 51 similar setups since 2018, the following week was calmer than normal 2 out of 3 times, with direction basically a coin flip.
