Allium, a blockchain data infrastructure provider serving Visa, Stripe, and Coinbase, disclosed a security breach.

Core services, including the Allium App, Explorer, and Explorer APIs, are now operational, although some features remain unavailable.

Chinese payments giant Alipay denies supporting cryptocurrency trading through third-party platforms
Chinese payments giant Alipay said it does not support cryptocurrency trading or related services, adding that claims that the platform allows users to buy crypto assets through third parties are false and unauthorized. The statement was issued after P2P trading platform Peer announced beta support for buying and selling USDC using CNY payments via Alipay. The company also urged users to exercise caution to protect their funds and account security.
Jack Dorsey's decentralized messaging app Bitchat topped the App Store's social networking charts in France following nationwide protests and an Orange network outage on October 21. The platform enables offline communication through Bluetooth mesh networks, supports Nostr-based communication, and integrates Bitcoin-backed Cashu eCash payments.
Visa has just taken a significant step toward integrating artificial intelligence into the financial sector, announcing a pilot for AI agent-based commerce. This new initiative allows autonomous systems to initiate and help complete approved B2B invoice payments directly through supplier portals.
The initiative aims to automate processes that previously required manual intervention, increasing efficiency and speeding up corporate transactions. By allowing AI to manage critical steps in the payment cycle, the company seeks to reduce operating costs and minimize errors in high-volume operations.
For the cryptocurrency market, AI adoption by traditional giants like Visa signals a technological convergence that could accelerate digital payment infrastructure. Intelligent automation is likely to create new efficiency standards that the crypto sector can leverage to strengthen its interoperability solutions. 🚀💼
Bitcoin-backed preferred stocks fueled the purchase of 135,979 BTC in just over a year, according to a new report from Fidelity Digital Assets.
The chart shows that, by October 5, this investment strategy accounted for more than 0.5% of the total Bitcoin supply. Between March and May alone, issuing companies raised more than US$ 7 billion to acquire over 95,000 BTC.
Fidelity warns that the strategy is sustainable only if the asset’s appreciation exceeds the cost of the yield. This trend attracts income investors who previously didn’t buy Bitcoin directly but are now doing so through dividend-paying stocks. 📈💰
J.P. Morgan published a long-term report projecting that Bitcoin will outperform major asset classes over the next 10 years. According to the analysis, the digital currency is expected to deliver a compound annual return of 10.0%, significantly exceeding expectations for traditional markets.
The study ranks Bitcoin ahead of real estate (REITs) at 8.2%, large-cap stocks at 7.5%, and U.S. government bonds at 5.6%. Gold, traditionally viewed as a store of value, is projected to return 5.5%, while cash comes in last at just 3.2%.
This projection reinforces the view that Bitcoin is consolidating its position as a high-growth asset, even with expected volatility of 55% per year. The bank considers the cryptocurrency the top bet for investors seeking to maximize long-term returns. 📈
In case you missed it: 🔥 BNB Chain completed its 37th quarterly BNB burn this week, removing 1.65M BNB (approximately US$ 1.2 billion) and reducing the total supply to around 131.5M BNB, bringing it closer to the 100M target.
Strive, a company specializing in Bitcoin treasury management, announced a strategic move to raise US$ 500 million in the capital markets. The transaction will be carried out through the issuance of 5 million shares of a new perpetual preferred stock, known as SATS.
The proceeds raised will primarily be used to acquire more BTC, reinforcing the company's investment thesis and increasing its direct exposure to the market's leading cryptocurrency.
This initiative highlights the growing trend of traditional companies and treasury firms integrating digital assets into their balance sheets in pursuit of diversification and long-term appreciation. 📈
Tether Capital, Tether’s independent investment arm, announced a strategic investment in AIsa, a platform that enables AI agents to continuously access and pay for data, software tools, and computing resources.
As autonomous agents increasingly manage end-to-end workflows, legacy payment and subscription systems create significant operational friction. AIsa addresses this by offering a unified interface where developers can connect agents to more than 5,000 APIs, skills, and models through a single key, supporting per-call settlement in fiat currency or stablecoins within predefined corporate spending limits.
AIsa currently reports more than 250,000 deployed agents and more than 100 million processed transactions.
The number of tokenized stock holders reached 4 million in early October and climbed to 4.3 million just two weeks later.
NVIDIA leads with 617,000 holders, followed by SpaceX and Apple. Together, these three assets account for 32% of all tokenized stock holders, highlighting how investor interest remains concentrated in major technology companies.
Michael Saylor: AI surpasses what your entire team can accomplish in a month
Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, said in an interview with the Bitcoin Policy Institute on October 2 that artificial intelligence reached a significant inflection point earlier this year.
He stated that even if he brought together lawyers, financiers, marketing professionals, executives, and himself in a room for a month, using the most advanced models, the result would still be inferior to what AI could produce. Saylor believes AI agents are increasingly taking over tasks previously performed by humans, with billions of agents operating 24 hours a day in the future.
Altcoins joined the rally. Over the past week, 72.5% of the altcoins tracked outperformed Bitcoin. During the August *squeeze*, the highest proportion recorded was 39%.
Traders have not significantly increased their leverage. Open interest in altcoin perpetual futures contracts—measured in the number of coins—has barely grown over the past 30 days, and fewer than half of the markets have seen an increase in positions. During the overheated periods of February 2021 and December 2024, this same indicator rose sharply, with most markets recording increases.
The altcoin rally is being driven mainly by spot buying, making a sudden wave of forced liquidations less likely. A broad increase in *open interest* would signal that the rally is starting to overheat.
