Over the past week, Strive bought 4,045 BTC, while Strategy bought 267 BTC but also spent $193 million repurchasing STRC shares. The two institutions’ funding priorities were almost opposite.

Strive added to its holdings in several batches from October 12 to 16, at an average Bitcoin price of about $82,803 for the week. Its total holdings reached 36,818 BTC—a move that looks more like a continued effort to build Bitcoin into a core position.

Strategy, by contrast, added about $22 million worth of Bitcoin but spent nearly $200 million on share buybacks. In other words, it is investing in both Bitcoin and its own stock, but the bulk of its spending is still going toward equity.

This combination—one company focused on BTC, the other favoring buybacks—reflects differing views among institutions about asset priorities. The question now is whether this divergence will become the norm or is just a temporary strategy adopted by a handful of companies.

On October 19, JPMorgan Chase was reported to be expanding its deposit token, JPM Coin, to the Ethereum mainnet. According to a single source, the design enables institutional clients to send and receive funds and settle transactions 24/7.

In other words, inter-institutional fund transfers that previously could only be processed during business hours—and might take several days to complete—can now be cleared around the clock using on-chain tokens. JPM Coin has also expanded beyond the bank’s own or permissioned environments onto the public blockchain’s “public rails.”

What makes this different is that it isn’t a stablecoin for everyone. It is a notable attempt to bring a bank-issued deposit token onto a public blockchain: one end connects to traditional bank accounts, the other to the Ethereum mainnet, with both efficiency and risk management in mind.

The questions now are whether other major institutions will follow a similar path or continue keeping their tokenization experiments within their own systems—and how regulators will redraw the boundaries as banks move deposit tokens onto public blockchains.

U.S. PPI surged to 6.3% year over year in September and rose 1.3% month over month, while retail sales increased 0.8% month over month. Taken together, these figures make it clear that inflation “isn’t done yet.”

PPI is a leading indicator of prices paid by end consumers. This time, core PPI rose 0.7% month over month and 5.0% year over year, suggesting that even excluding food and energy, cost pressures are picking up across the board—naturally raising the odds that CPI will come under pressure in the months ahead.

Before the U.S. market opened, futures on the three major stock indexes diverged: Dow futures were still up 0.35%, the S&P 500 was slightly lower, and Nasdaq 100 futures had fallen to -1.25%. This looks more like a shift in market leadership: investors are flocking to traditional sectors that are more resilient to interest rates, while rate-sensitive tech and growth stocks are taking the first hit. Safe-haven trades in U.S. Treasuries are also picking up again.

For crypto markets, this isn’t an isolated data point, but another turn in the interplay between interest rates, risk appetite, and asset rotation. Over the next few months, whether inflation and consumer data continue to “hold firm” will determine whether capital flows back into tech and high-growth stocks or stays in value, defensive, and safe-haven assets for the long haul.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that CPI rose 3.7% year over year in September 2026, while core CPI rose 2.6%. Both figures came in above market expectations and were their highest in recent months.

These hotter-than-expected inflation readings have dashed the market’s earlier optimism that inflation would continue to cool. They effectively add another layer of uncertainty to the outlook for interest rates, putting more pressure on risk assets whose valuations depend on low rates.

The immediate reaction in precious metals was clear: spot gold fell nearly $40 in the short term to around $4,129.60 an ounce, while spot silver dropped about $1 to $58.07 an ounce. Market prices are reflecting concerns about rates staying “higher for longer.”

In this environment, crypto assets may face near-term challenges from funding costs and risk appetite, rather than simply relying on a rapid policy pivot. Whether this inflation rebound can be brought under control will be one of the key variables in assessing the macroeconomic outlook ahead.

🔥 U.S. CPI is released tonight: Which will be affected most—crude oil, Treasuries, or BTC?
Why is the crypto market paying attention to U.S. CPI?
Because inflation data can affect the market’s expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate policy, which in turn influences the dollar, Treasury yields, and crypto asset prices. This time, crude oil prices are also an important driver of inflation.

📊 Market expectations and four key things to watch
The market expects U.S. headline CPI for September to rise 0.6% month over month and 3.6% year over year; core CPI is expected to rise 0.2% month over month and 2.5% year over year.

1️⃣ Crude oil: Inflation and geopolitical risks
Rising oil prices can push up headline CPI, but crude oil prices are also affected by geopolitical developments and supply and demand. If inflation comes in hotter than expected, a stronger dollar could put pressure on oil prices; however, supply risks could still support them.

2️⃣ Treasuries: How will rate expectations change?
Core CPI coming in above expectations could strengthen expectations that interest rates will stay high, pushing Treasury yields higher. If the data is moderate, yields could fall.

3️⃣ BTC: Will risk appetite change?
Hotter-than-expected inflation, a stronger dollar, and rising yields could weigh on BTC. If inflation comes in below expectations, market risk appetite could improve. However, market positioning and fund flows will also affect short-term price movements.

4️⃣ The Fed: Why does this report matter?
The Fed’s next policy meeting is scheduled for October 27–28. This CPI report is an important reference point ahead of the meeting, but a single data point cannot determine the direction of policy.

📌 Three signals to watch tonight:
Whether core CPI month over month comes in above the expected 0.2%;
How much of the rise in headline inflation is due to energy prices;
How the dollar, Treasury yields, crude oil, and BTC react after the data is released.

The same data can affect different assets in different ways. For crude oil, supply and demand and geopolitical risks also matter; for BTC, the broader risk appetite needs to be taken into account.
Rather than betting on a rise or fall in advance, first look at how the data compares with expectations, then watch how the market prices it in.

BNY Mellon and Castle Securities conducted a very different kind of tri-party repo using a 2-year U.S. Treasury note: they first bought it on the Tradeweb platform, then represented it as a token on BNY Mellon’s private digital ledger, and finally used the tokenized Treasury as collateral to secure overnight repo financing (according to a single source).

The key wasn’t the word “token,” but the efficiency: settlement for the repo was completed in minutes, rather than the T+1 timeline common for traditional Treasuries. For institutions managing liquidity in the billions, compressing settlement times effectively creates an extra window in which funds are available.

More subtly, the entire process took place within the traditional system: the custodian bank, mainstream electronic trading platform, and tri-party repo model all remained unchanged. Only the underlying recordkeeping shifted from a traditional system to a private digital ledger. Technically, it’s closer to an “internal blockchain,” but it moves RWA beyond the conceptual stage and into the realm of actual collateral.

What remains to be seen is whether this model will expand to more maturities, more asset classes, and more participating institutions. If one day half the collateral in tri-party repos consists of tokenized Treasuries, the answer to the question “Which is assimilating which: traditional finance or on-chain finance?” may look very different.

Why was a $16.46 million sell order placed at exactly $84,250?

On October 12, BTC hovered around $84,000. You don’t wait for direction to emerge—the price follows when someone makes the first move, and the traces are left on-chain.

AiCoin’s On-Chain Large Orders feature surfaced a massive order on October 12: a sell-to-open short worth $16.4623 million, placed at $84,250 and originating from Hyperliquid. The order was placed at 13:21 and began filling at 14:56. It remained open for 1 hour and 35 minutes, with the largest individual fill worth $718,800. These were actual trades.

But spotting a large order isn’t enough: Who’s selling? Is it worth following? That’s where a second indicator comes in—Smart Money Tracking. On-Chain Large Orders identifies “large trades and orders,” answering “Is big money moving?” Smart Money Tracking plots the marked accounts’ buy and sell points on the candlestick chart, answering “Who is moving?” One flags unusual activity; the other identifies the trader.

Look at the two together: On-Chain Large Orders shows a $16.46 million sell order at $84,250, originating on-chain from Hyperliquid. Smart Money Tracking marks the address’s opening and closing points, so you can see where the trader entered and exited. First identify who it is, then see how they trade.

The market moved in the direction this trade was betting on. From the time it began filling at 14:56 on October 12, the price plunged: down $2,973.44, or about 3.53%, across 207 five-minute candles, hitting a low of $81,033.66.

At 08:05 on October 13, this account began “buying to close” its short: 96.19 BTC at an average price of $81,700, worth $7.8581 million—closing exactly half the position. The remaining 96.19 BTC short stayed open, with an unrealized profit of about $42,300 at the time of the screenshot. After banking a 3.5% gain on half, the trader is letting the rest run.

You don’t have to keep watch yourself. Set up a Smart Money alert, and every time this trader opens, closes, or adds to a position, you’ll get notified. Even if you missed this sell order, the next time they make a move, the alert will reach you before the market does.

Going from “watching prices and guessing the direction” to “seeing who’s making a move” is a whole new level: an anonymous large order becomes trackable address activity that you can review later. Someone always moves before the market takes off; before, you couldn’t see who it was. Now, you can follow their every move.

Crypto KOL realist says he was robbed at knifepoint during a home invasion at his residence in the UK, losing around $800,000 in crypto assets. About $40,000 came from a frequently used wallet, around $720,000 from a Ledger device, and he also lost a Rolex watch. His phone was smashed.

In other words, even if your assets are stored in a hardware wallet, if you and the device are in the same place and you’re coerced into cooperating, “on-chain security” can’t stop a real-world knife. This is what the industry often calls a “wrench attack.”

So far, public information has mainly come from the victim’s account and reports by several crypto media outlets. No official statement from the police or a third party has surfaced, and some details remain unclear.

For large crypto holders—especially highly visible KOLs—incidents like this raise a brutal question: should they focus next on piling on more technical safeguards, or first take a step back from sharing their offline privacy, daily routines, and wealth?

#sk海力士股价下跌7.1% South Korea’s stock market plunged more than 6%, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell for a fifth consecutive trading day.

Beyond the sell-off in semiconductor stocks, there’s another development worth watching: the buybacks that had supported share prices are gradually winding down.

Samsung Electronics completed its buyback in early October, and SK Hynix’s buyback is also nearing its end. The two companies had announced buyback plans totaling around 55 trillion won. Now that this source of buying pressure is weakening, the market faces a question: who will step in to buy?

Foreign investors’ activity offers little reassurance.

As of October 12, foreign investors had sold a net total of around 199 trillion won worth of South Korean stocks this year, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix accounting for about 87% of that total. With funds flowing out of the semiconductor leaders, it is naturally difficult for the broader market to avoid the impact.

Retail investors’ cash reserves are also dwindling. The cash balance in South Korean individual investors’ accounts fell from around 140 trillion won in early June to around 100 trillion won in early October. With fewer willing buyers and less cash available, stabilizing the market is naturally becoming more difficult.

AI is another source of pressure.

Demand for AI chips had been an important factor supporting South Korean semiconductor stocks. But as U.S. chip stocks weaken, the market is taking another look at the returns on AI investment and competition across the industry. For heavyweight stocks such as Samsung and SK Hynix, outflows and cooling expectations are converging, making their share prices more vulnerable to pressure.

For now, the key things to watch are when foreign investors stop selling, whether semiconductor companies’ earnings can meet expectations, and whether demand for AI chips can continue to grow.

When buybacks no longer provide the same support and foreign investors continue to sell, the market will need new catalysts and fresh funds to lift the rally again.
