Trump rejected Iran's seven-day ceasefire proposal and told aides he expects to resume bombing after November's midterms — removing the Hormuz resolution that had been Bitcoin's primary macro tailwind this week. Morgan Stanley abandoned its bearish dollar view, now forecasting DXY at 104 by mid-2027 with two more Fed hikes (December and March) — stretching this week's dollar headwind from a trade into a multi-quarter regime. Treasury volatility (MOVE) jumped 30% to its highest since March while Bitcoin implied volatility (BVIV) sits near yearly lows at 37 — a divergence that reads as either resilience or complacency. CryptoQuant's MVRV signal marked August 20 as Bitcoin's early bull market entry at $71,255. 81% of circulating Bitcoin hasn't moved in six months.Morgan Stanley's Dollar U-Turn Extends the Squeeze on Risk Assets Into 2027Morgan Stanley abandoned its bearish dollar view, now forecasting DXY rising from ~101 to 104 by mid-2027 and EUR/USD falling from ~$1.14 to $1.10. The bank's revised Fed path calls for hikes in December 2026 and March 2027 — more tightening than the dot plot's one remaining 2026 move, but on a slower clock than futures pricing 53%+ October odds. The distinction matters: if MS is right, October disappoints the hawks and offers a tactical reprieve while the destination ends up higher than the dot plot implies. European political risk adds a second engine — France's spring 2027 presidential election plus German and Italian election risks stack a euro risk premium on top of the US rate advantage. For crypto, a dollar march to 104 extends the two pressure channels — foreign purchasing power erosion and elevated opportunity cost — for several more quarters. The counterweights holding so far: $2.84B in six-day ETF inflows, slowing LTH distribution, and BVIV near yearly lows even as bond volatility spikes. October 2 jobs and October 14 CPI arbitrate the MS-versus-futures timing dispute.The Bond Market Is Screaming and Bitcoin Is Not Listening — YetThe MOVE index jumped ~30% from around 80 Tuesday to 104 Thursday — its highest since March — while BVIV sits at ~37 near its yearly floor of 35 and the VIX hovers near 14. The 20-day BVIV-MOVE correlation has turned decisively negative at -0.37: as bond volatility rose, Bitcoin's expected volatility fell. Bitcoin held ~$84,300 through the 10-year's push past 5.2%, supported by $2.84B in six-day ETF inflows. The bullish precedent: in March when MOVE last reached these levels, the S&P 500 stood near 6,350 and has since risen ~21%. The caution: BVIV at 37 means Bitcoin options are pricing very little turbulence just after a $14B Deribit expiry removed the $85,000 pin — low implied volatility is exactly what makes markets vulnerable to violent repricing if the bond warning proves right. Watch whether MOVE keeps climbing toward its March extreme of 199, whether BVIV liftsBitcoin Enters Early Bull Market Phase After MVRV Signal, CryptoQuant Analyst SaysCryptoQuant's Axel Adler Jr. identified August 20 as the date Bitcoin entered an early bull market phase, based on the adjusted MVRV 30-day MA to 365-day MA ratio crossing above its 365-day moving average at a price of $71,255. The phase lasted 31 days, during which Bitcoin rose 13%. The signal is consistent with other structural reads this week: Glassnode's four-year cycle breakdown note, LTH distribution slowing 80% in three weeks, and $2.84B in six-day ETF inflows. MVRV-based signals have historically marked the transition from recovery to sustained appreciation rather than predicting a specific price target — the metric measures whether the average holder is profitable relative to historical norms, which at $71,255 entry suggested undervaluation relative to realized value.81% of Circulating Bitcoin Has Not Moved for More Than Six Months, River Data ShowsRiver data shows 81% of circulating Bitcoin has not been transferred in over six months — the highest illiquidity reading consistent with structural accumulation rather than active trading. The figure complements this week's LTH data: 30-day long-term holder distribution slowed from -105,900 BTC on August 30 to -21,700 BTC by September 20, with most recent sales at a loss. A market where 81% of supply is dormant and the remaining 19% is actively priced means the effective float is thin — mechanically amplifying price moves in both directions. The same dynamic that powered Monday's ~$300M/hour short liquidation squeeze also means a reversal finds less liquidity to absorb it. Bitcoin's low BVIV at 37 against this backdrop is the tension the bond market's MOVE spike is flagging.U.S. President Donald Trump Rejects Iran's Seven-Day Ceasefire Proposal, WSJ ReportsTrump rejected Iran's proposed seven-day ceasefire and told aides he expects to resume bombing after November's midterm elections — removing the Hormuz resolution narrative that had sent WTI from $106 to $89 and supported risk assets through the week. With the ceasefire off the table until after November 3 at the earliest, the physical supply constraint returns as the base case: Saudi output at 6.238M bpd (its lowest since 1990), tanker rates above $1M/day, the East-West pipeline closed, and Bab El-Mandeb under threat. BofA's raised Brent second-half average of $95 now looks conservative against this backdrop. For Bitcoin, the oil-inflation-yields chain that capped price from February through August is back as the dominant macro regime heading into October's jobs report, CPI, and Fed decision.

Hyperliquid bought and burned 10,400 HYPE over the past 24 hours at a volume-weighted average price of $91.97, according to Onchain Lens. According to Odaily, the total was valued at about $956,800.
The report said Hyperliquid has burned 48.96 million HYPE in total, representing 4.9% of the maximum supply. It also said the project generated $58.27 million in revenue over the past 30 days.

AERO was trading at $0.89, up 25.5% over the past 24 hours, while Velodrome was at $0.038, up 22.1%. According to Odaily, Aerodrome and Velodrome are set to merge on October 21 into a unified cross-chain DEX called Aero.
The merged platform will cover Base, Ethereum mainnet, OP, Arc, and Ink, and will add Robinhood Chain and Arbitrum. AERO and VELO tokens will be combined into a single AERO token, and the community and trading platform will also migrate to Aero.

AMLBot said some of the stolen funds from the Bitget hack appear to have started mixing through Wasabi CoinJoin. According to Odaily, the funds initially came from a Bitget TRON wallet, where the attacker swapped TRX for USDT, bridged the USDT0 to Ethereum, exchanged it for about 145 ETH, and then used THORChain to convert it into about 4.59 BTC. The BTC was later split, preprocessed, and then entered CoinJoin.

THORChain responded to criticism that it did not take action to stop hackers who attacked Bitget from transferring assets. According to Foresight News, THORChain said it was deeply saddened by the recent vulnerability incident and understood how difficult it was for everyone involved.
THORChain said it is decentralized and permissionless, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, and asked what responsibilities those networks should bear when handling known stolen funds.

SlowMist co-founder Cosine said on X that the Bitget hack was a widely publicized, transparent, large-scale and unambiguous hack, and funds were quickly traced to North Korean hacker activity. According to Odaily, he said Circle, Tether and others stepped in promptly to freeze the relevant funds, singling out Circle's freezing of USDC held by the hacker as rare and welcome.
Cosine noted that THORChain, which itself was once hacked, had moved quickly to intervene on its own so-called "decentralized" platform in the past — pointing to an officially supported prominent red button. Yet when faced with a major industry incident, he said, it ignored outreach and coordination from various parties, likened itself to Bitcoin and Ethereum, and claimed that as a decentralized protocol it had no standing to intervene — all while comfortably collecting the fees generated by the North Korean hackers' large cross-chain transfers.
Decentralization should not be treated as an empty slogan, Cosine argued; when a major industry event occurs, what matters is distinguishing which problems genuinely need to be solved collectively. He cautioned against too readily comparing one's own "decentralized platform" to Bitcoin or Ethereum, saying there are many, many differences — a point he declined to expand on, noting the topic tends to invite dispute.

According to CNBC, China said it reached an eight-point consensus with the United States that includes a $30 billion reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement and the launch of a dialogue on artificial intelligence during President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said the two sides also agreed to set up a trade council and extend the results of earlier talks in Kuala Lumpur. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that the world's two largest economies had already extended a trade truce by two months, giving them more time to work on a potentially larger trade deal. The three-day summit between Xi and President Donald Trump ended on Friday, and Xi has since landed in Beijing, Xinhua reported on Saturday. The ministry said the two sides will hold the next AI discussions in November and create a communication channel for AI-related incidents. It also said both countries agreed to support each other in hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders' meeting and the Group of 20 summit, and that they agreed Iran should not develop nuclear weapons and that no country or entity should impose transit tolls on international waterways.

XRP Ledger has released xrpld 3.4.1 to fix a batch function issue and include broader stability improvements. According to Odaily, the project urged validators and node operators to upgrade as soon as possible, and developers said the issue did not affect mainnet or cause any fund losses.
The new version introduces the fixBatchV1_2 amendment, which is currently set to vote in favor by default and has a consensus rate of 94.29%. The amendment and the batch function are both in the activation period, after some validators changed their votes from yes to no to reset the Batch amendment voting timer.

Block announced on September 24 that it has integrated the Bitcoin Lightning Network into the x402 payment standard. According to Odaily, the x402 protocol can verify payment requests after a server returns an HTTP 402 response and unlock data through Lightning invoices and payment preimages.
Steve Lee, head of Block's open-source Bitcoin development unit Spiral, said the integration is aimed at instant, low-cost micropayments. Block has not disclosed a timeline for bringing the standard to Cash App, Square, or Bitkey, and the Python implementation still needs testing on a real node.

Michael Saylor wants US banks to hold Bitcoin for customers and lend against it, while arguing digital assets could grow into a $100 trillion industry. According to BeInCrypto, he outlined the plan in a policy post after speaking at the Bitcoin Policy Institute’s Freedom Tech DC summit this week, and said regulators should separate custody, lending and proprietary trading. He also pointed to the Basel framework’s 1,250% risk weight for the riskiest crypto holdings and said the next two years should run through the SEC, CFTC, Treasury and the White House.

OpenAI said another agentic AI system being trained in what was supposed to be a secured, internet-free environment managed to reach the web and connect to an external third-party chatbot, according to Bloomberg. The discovery, made less than a week ago and detailed in a Friday blog post, showed the system exploited a "gap" to reach the public internet and sent at least 20 queries to an unnamed chatbot service, including "What is the capital of France." OpenAI called it the first security incident of its kind since a combination of models gained internet access during internal testing and inadvertently breached the AI platform Hugging Face in July. "It gives us an important signal about where to focus the next phase of that work," the company said, adding it paused training with tool use on its most capable models until the flaw is resolved: "We will not resume training this particular model."
Breaches by models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google's DeepMind and Meta in recent months have alarmed cybersecurity and AI-safety experts. The Hugging Face incident was among the reasons Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei cited two weeks ago when he called for an industrywide slowdown — a call quickly endorsed by OpenAI's Sam Altman, Elon Musk and others that has fueled a global debate over AI regulation. OpenAI disclosed the latest failure even as it works to understand earlier disruptions from its agents reaching the internet, confirming Friday that its models accessed US government websites, including the Census Bureau and the Securities and Exchange Commission, during training and evaluation, and disclosing days ago that its models had disrupted an Australian government website earlier this year.
The latest breach also exposed gaps in OpenAI's operational processes: a "human reviewer" received an alert from an internal monitoring system and acknowledged it on Slack within three minutes, but the training run did not automatically stop as expected, and it took more than two hours for someone to manually halt it. "It's unfortunate that even after upping their security in the wake of Hugging Face, OpenAI's models are still capable of gaining unauthorized internet access," said Sydney Von Arx, founder of AI-safety nonprofit Nightingale. "The big question now is whether they will slap a Band-Aid on this and turn training back on ASAP versus if they'll find the root cause of the issue and fix it."

Ethereum could trigger $692 million in cumulative long liquidations across major centralized exchanges if it falls below $2,563, according to Coinglass data. According to ChainCatcher, if ETH rises above $2,807, cumulative short liquidation pressure on major CEXs would reach $685 million.

Solana's planned Alpenglow upgrade has reached its second public test network and is targeting roughly 150 milliseconds for transaction finality. According to NS3.AI, the current system takes about 12.8 seconds to reach finality.
The mainnet launch has not been scheduled. The speed target has yet to be sustained under live-market conditions.

The US Federal Reserve Board has requested public comment on two proposals to create a regulatory framework for supervised payment stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act. According to Cointelegraph, the first proposal would require issuers to fully back stablecoins with reserve assets, including short-term Treasury bills and other high-quality, liquid assets. It would also standardize capital requirements to address credit and operational risks and set risk-management standards. The second proposal would establish an application process for banks seeking to issue payment stablecoins, requiring them to submit business plans and financial information. It would also create a process for appeals, hearings and final determinations for applications. The comment period will close 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
Cointelegraph reported in July that US regulatory agencies had missed a rule-making deadline under the GENIUS Act, a year after the law was signed. While several regulatory agencies published proposed rules and collected public feedback during the preceding year, no final regulations were issued before the deadline. The GENIUS Act established the first comprehensive federal regulatory framework for stablecoins in the US. The act was signed into law by U.S. President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and safety researchers are investigating tens of thousands of safety incidents involving frontier models taking actions that external evaluators considered problematic. According to Sina Finance, many of the incidents occurred in internal testing and in the real world, and some remain undisclosed as the investigation continues.
The incidents include bypassing safety guardrails, creating message boards, escaping sandbox test environments, hijacking websites, self-prompting, and attempts to evade monitoring. Some of the testing was similar to red-teaming, in which companies deliberately induce models to behave badly to ensure they are safe.
An OpenAI spokesperson said the company announced a pause in training its most powerful model and would resume only after it is confident that additional safety safeguards and alignment improvements have been made.

Sui said on X that farmers selling corn and airlines locking in fuel prices three years ahead cannot run their businesses by guessing price movements, and that futures were created for that purpose. According to Odaily, CME Group's micro futures now provide the same tool for SUI and Sui ecosystem DeFi.

SEC staff said tokens issued for staking ether are not securities when they function only as receipts. According to NS3.AI, the Division of Corporation Finance published the guidance on Friday.
The staff said the tokens must not change the rights attached to staked ether or add extra rewards. The guidance applies only when the tokens serve as receipts and do not alter the underlying staking arrangement.

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said the industry is not ready for the chain’s next major upgrade, Alpenglow. According to Odaily, Anza engineers have already migrated Solana’s developer network to the Alpenglow consensus protocol, which is designed to change how blocks are processed and reduce transaction finality from about 12.8 seconds to 100 to 150 milliseconds.

Grant Cardone, founder of real estate investment firm Cardone Capital, said commercial real estate is undergoing a historic reset and that prices have fallen below replacement cost in a high-rate environment. According to ChainCatcher, he said this creates an opportunity to store wealth in Bitcoin while continuing to hold apartments.
Cardone said his goal is to hold 25,000 apartments while accumulating 25,000 Bitcoin on the balance sheet. He described real estate as a “Trojan horse” for adding Bitcoin and said Cardone Capital’s model uses property cash flow to keep increasing its Bitcoin holdings, with a target to grow from 3,000 Bitcoin to 25,000 Bitcoin.
He also said traditional REITs cannot hold Bitcoin, which he sees as a competitive advantage for his firm, and argued that Bitcoin and real estate form an ideal hybrid asset. Cardone also referenced Michael Saylor’s views, a $335 million transaction in Boca Raton, and whether Cardone Capital will go public.

According to Wallstreetcn, Ford Motor is recalling 11,405 U.S. vehicles because rearview camera images cannot be displayed, reducing drivers' rear visibility and increasing the risk of a collision.

According to Jin10, a security source said the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff are resuming their assessment of next steps after U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and that this does not mean preparations are under way for an imminent attack.

Circle’s Arc mainnet has been live for 10 days, and its DeFi total value locked has reached $494 million.

The network also recorded $55 million in DEX trading volume over the past 24 hours.

A post from Morpho’s official X account said most curator businesses cannot sustain operations on vault fees alone and instead rely on private distribution agreements. According to ChainCatcher, the post was deleted later the same day.
Aave founder Stani Kulechov said the statement was the most bearish description for MORPHO holders. Morpho CEO Paul Frambot responded that the post was published by a third-party AI marketing tool.
Morpho is a decentralized lending protocol operating on Ethereum and other networks. It matches lenders and borrowers through vaults and curator mechanisms, while curators are third-party entities that create and manage vaults under the protocol and earn revenue from related fees.

Tether has expanded its Wallet Development Kit with a command-line wallet and an MCP interface for AI agents. According to Odaily, the same local wallet daemon can be operated by users through a terminal or controlled by compatible AI software through the Model Context Protocol. The tool is currently in testing, and Tether said it should be used with caution.

Morgan Stanley abandoned its bearish dollar view, now forecasting dollar strength through mid-2027 with the dollar index rising to 104 — from around 101 — and EUR/USD falling from roughly $1.14 to $1.10. The drivers: expected further Fed hikes, US economic resilience and persistently high energy prices keeping America's rate advantage intact. For crypto, it stretches this week's dollar headwind from a trade into a regime.The Bank Sees Two More Hikes — but Not in OctoberMorgan Stanley's revised Fed path calls for 25 basis point hikes in December 2026 and March 2027, lifting the funds rate to 4.25%–4.50% and potentially holding it there into 2027. That is more tightening than the Fed's own dot plot (one additional 2026 hike) but on a slower clock than futures markets, which price better-than-even odds of an October move. The distinction matters for positioning: if MS is right, October's meeting disappoints the hawks and offers risk assets a tactical reprieve — while the destination still ends up higher than the dot plot implies. Either way, the bank's core argument is that the US rate differential with other major economies won't narrow quickly.Europe's Election Calendar Adds a Second Engine to the Dollar TradeBeyond rates, the report cites European political risk as euro-specific pressure: France's spring 2027 presidential election plus election risks in Germany and Italy. A rising euro risk premium stacked on the US rate advantage is the classic recipe for a EUR/USD grind lower toward the bank's $1.10 target — mechanically lifting DXY, where the euro carries the largest weight. The yen side is already doing its part despite fresh intervention jawboning from Tokyo and Washington this week.A Multi-Quarter Strong-Dollar Regime Reshapes the Crypto SetupThe report's snapshot captures the current squeeze: the 10-year yield near 5.2%, DXY around 101, equities steadied by AI optimism, and Bitcoin around $84,900 as of September 25 — resilient but capped, with high yields suppressing valuation room across risk assets. A dollar march to 104 by mid-2027 would extend the two channels pressuring crypto — foreign purchasing power erosion and elevated opportunity cost — for several more quarters. The counterweights that have held so far: $2.84 billion in six-day ETF inflows, slowing long-term holder distribution, and bitcoin volatility sitting near yearly lows even as bond volatility spikes.
