$SOL Day five after the upgrade: Alpenglow went live on mainnet on October 21. According to Anza, the finality time fell from about 12.8 seconds to around 150 milliseconds. The technology is a major positive, but the price is showing a “sell the news” reaction: Kraken data shows SOL at about $101.3, with a 7-day range of $99.7–$108.5. It briefly surged to near $109 after the upgrade, then pulled back.
Key levels (based on the past 7 days of hourly data, for observation only): • Below: 98.8–99.7, the low zone for the past week. A break below it would signal weakening short-term sentiment. • Above: 102.6 and 108.5. The former has repeatedly acted as recent resistance; the latter is the weekly high.
Catalysts: JPMorgan launched a tokenized money market fund on Solana, and Samsung Wallet has announced that it will support cross-border USDC transfers by the end of this month. Solana’s on-chain TVL is about $5.73 billion, and its stablecoin supply is about $15.8 billion. Fundamentals are improving, but capital flows are being weighed down by net outflows from spot ETFs.
Risks: Continued ETF outflows, rising Treasury yields weighing on altcoins, and some validator nodes still undergoing upgrades mean network performance remains to be seen.
Which do you think will get there first: the “technology upgrade” or the “price”? Data: Kraken, DefiLlama. Not investment advice. #Solana #Alpenglow
I took a look at DefiLlama’s public-chain TVL rankings, and the landscape is pretty interesting:
• Ethereum: about $48.56 billion, still far ahead • Base: about $6.01 billion • BSC: about $5.79 billion • Solana: about $5.75 billion • Tron: about $5.47 billion • Bitcoin on-chain: about $4.29 billion
There’s less than $600 million separating second through fifth place, so the rankings could change at any moment. Looking at on-chain fees across the industry, the total was about $62.9 million over the past 24 hours, down 4.13% day over day. Tether contributed about $17.27 million and USDC about $6.84 million, so stablecoin issuers remain major fee earners.
TVL is just one way to measure the amount of capital locked up. It doesn’t equal activity, and you shouldn’t focus only on a single day’s figures. It’s a good idea to look at fees and user numbers too.
Data source: DefiLlama. Which public chain do you think will break into the top three next?
Bitcoin hashrate back above 1 ZH/s: Miners pivot to AI, but the network gets more crowded
Bitcoin hashrate back above 1 ZH/s: Miners are “pivoting to AI,” but the network is getting more crowded Here’s the bottom line: publicly traded mining companies are shifting power and data centers toward AI/high-performance computing, while Bitcoin’s total network hashrate has returned to a 7-month high. These two things aren’t contradictory, and it’s worth taking a closer look. 1. What the data says • According to BlocksBridge Miner Weekly, Bitcoin’s 7-day average hashrate has climbed back above 1 ZH/s (= 1,000 EH/s), its highest level since March 3. • The October 16 difficulty adjustment was +5.92%, bringing difficulty to 140.58T. • Current data from mempool.space: difficulty adjustment progress is about 67.6%, with the next adjustment estimated at around +4.9%, roughly around October 29 (depending on block production speed).
$ETH has traded in the $2,280–$2,525 range over the past 7 days and is currently around $2,350, down about 2.4% from $2,409 a week ago.
Key levels: • $2,280 is this week's low; a high-volume break below it would signal a weaker short-term structure • $2,525 is this week's high; a sustained move above it on strong volume would be needed to confirm a rebound • Ethereum's on-chain TVL is about $49 billion (DefiLlama), making it the public blockchain with the largest concentration of DeFi funds
Catalysts: A recent pickup in DEX trading volume, on-chain stablecoin flows, and progress on upcoming network upgrades. Risks: Tighter US dollar liquidity, continued stablecoin supply outflows, and a decline in overall market risk appetite could all weigh on the price.
These are price levels to watch, not a forecast. Please manage your position size and risk accordingly. Do you think ETH is more likely to hold $2,280 or fall below it this week? Data sources: Kraken, DefiLlama. Not investment advice. #ETH #以太坊 #OnChainData
A weekend look at on-chain DEX trading: According to DefiLlama, total DEX volume over the past 24 hours was about $6.97 billion, down 9.0% day over day. Volume over the past 7 days totaled about $51.8 billion, up 23.4% week over week.
By platform, Uniswap V3 recorded about $820 million (-13.6%), Uniswap V4 about $660 million (-27.1%), PancakeSwap AMM V3 about $690 million, and Aerodrome Slipstream about $320 million (-9.4%).
My take: Overall volume picked up over the week, but there was a noticeable dip on the weekend’s daily figures—a common pattern of quieter weekend trading. V4’s daily decline was steeper than V3’s. It’s best not to read too much into short-term volume swings; weekly averages offer a steadier picture.

Stablecoins shed $5.1 billion in 17 days: Is capital exiting or taking a breather?
Weekend recap: today, let’s skip the candlestick charts and talk about the market’s “dry powder”—stablecoins. Prices reflect sentiment, while stablecoin supply shows how many dollars are actually sitting on the sidelines, ready to be put to work. Looking at these on-chain data points together tells us more about what happened this week than looking at BTC’s price movements alone. 1. Total supply: $5.1 billion shed in 17 days According to DefiLlama, as of October 24, the total stablecoin supply across the market was about $302.8 billion. A few key milestones: • May 17: Year-to-date high of about $315.5 billion • August 11: Interim low of about $298.3 billion
Weekend trading is subdued, with major coins edging lower. $BTC is around $80,550, down about 0.6% from today’s open ETH is around $2,367, down about 0.7% SOL is around $101.5, down about 1.1% BNB is holding steady near $731 Weekend liquidity is thin, so sharp wicks are more likely than usual. If you’re keeping your position light, don’t rush to chase—direction should be clearer after the U.S. market opens on Monday. Are you sitting on the sidelines or positioning this weekend? #加密市场 #BTC #WeekendMarket
On-chain market snapshot (as of October 20–21, 2026): The crypto market is broadly trading sideways with a neutral bias. BTC is fluctuating slightly in the $82,000–$83,000 range, with a market cap of approximately $1.66–$1.67 trillion; ETH is around $2,448. The total market cap is approximately $2.8–$2.9 trillion. $BTC $ETH Total DeFi TVL is around $90 billion. Ethereum remains dominant, with TVL of approximately $50.28 billion (about 56% of the total), up 1.4% over 24 hours. Next are Base (about $6.2 billion), Solana and BNB Chain (about $5.9 billion each), Tron (about $5.5 billion), and Bitcoin DeFi (about $4.4 billion). Ethereum had approximately 464,000 active addresses and 1.75 million transactions over the past 24 hours; daily DEX trading volume was about $1.14 billion. Stablecoin supply remains high (about $143.7 billion on Ethereum). Overall on-chain activity is steady, with some signs of accumulation by large holders, but spot demand is weak. The market is in a wait-and-see consolidation phase.
