Industry Regulation and Institutional Developments S&P Global Ratings Launches New Framework: On October 5, S&P Global Ratings officially launched a new risk assessment framework for on-chain lending vaults. Deposits in the sector have reached $10 billion, up from just $1.5 billion two years ago. The framework will assess multiple factors, including credit, liquidity, governance, and blockchain security. Whale Activity and On-Chain Movements: According to on-chain analysts, the founder of POAP transferred 4,000 ETH (approximately $10.79 million) to the Gemini exchange today. They still hold more than 54,000 ETH.
Regulatory and Policy Developments The U.S. introduces a major digital asset tax bill (ADAPT Act) On October 1, U.S. Senator Steve Daines officially introduced the 56-page “Act to Align Digital Assets and Tax Principles” (ADAPT Act). The bill aims to establish clear tax rules for stablecoin payments, network fees (gas fees), staking, and lending. It also proposes that digital assets used to pay network, transaction, or gas fees of $10 or less be exempt from recognizing gains or losses. In addition, it provides tax exemptions or simplified reporting for compliant purchases of goods and services using U.S. dollar stablecoins.
Market Trends and Institutional Updates Macroeconomy and Market Performance Entering October, the market is closely watching the U.S. September jobs report (non-farm payrolls), CPI data, and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy direction. Although the crypto market has recently seen an inflow of funds and a quarterly rebound (such as Bitcoin recovering somewhat over the past quarter), analyses indicate that most mainstream assets still face pressure from macro high interest rates (e.g., U.S. Treasury yields remaining at relatively elevated levels) when viewed against their year-to-date trend. The market is overall searching for direction amid “fragmented repairs” and a shift toward compliance.
RWA tokenization platform listed OpenWorld and VerifyMe have officially announced the completion of their business merger, forming a digital tokenization platform for real-world assets. They began trading on Nasdaq on October 1 under the code “OPNW,” advancing institutional-grade RWA tokenization.

🇨🇳 October 5 | Crypto Market Brief $BNB 🧧 📈 BTC tests $87K again as selling pressure emerges
BTC is currently around $86.2–86.4K, having briefly approached $87K during the day; ETH is around $2.73K, and SOL around $121–122.
BTC has now tested the $86.5–87K area for the second time, but has yet to break above the late-September high of around $87.4K. The total market cap has climbed back to around $3T.
🏦 OKX × ICE: 24/7 U.S. stock trading moves on-chain
The biggest institutional news of the day is here.
OKXICE, formed by OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the NYSE, has filed an application with the SEC to launch a 24/7 U.S. tokenized stock trading platform.
The initial lineup is planned to cover more than 60 companies, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Coinbase, Circle, and SpaceX, with deployment planned on X Layer.
This is no longer “RWA in theory”—it’s an attempt to bring traditional stock markets truly on-chain.
🟠 Saylor sends another signal, but no confirmed BTC purchase yet
Michael Saylor posted “More orange than ever” again.
Naturally, the market began speculating about whether Strategy is going to buy BTC again.
But as of this morning, there is no new 8-K confirmation.
Strategy currently holds 847,666 BTC at an average cost of around $75,437; its most recently confirmed purchase remains the 1,665 BTC bought in late September.
🔥 ETF flows: Still strong on a weekly basis
For the week of September 28–October 2, BTC ETFs saw net inflows of around $241M, while ETH ETFs saw net outflows of around $138M.
SOL ETFs saw around +$2.4M, and XRP ETFs around +$4.7M.
Institutional money hasn’t disappeared from BTC; it has simply shifted from September’s frantic inflows to a noticeably slower pace.
🌡️ Macro: Weak jobs data gives BTC some breathing room
U.S. jobs data was notably weak last week, leading the market to lower its expectations of another rate hike in October.
But $87K remains a key resistance level; if BTC can’t break through decisively, it could return to around $85K to look for support again.
📊 Market Snapshot
BTC ≈ $86.2–86.4K ETH ≈ $2.73K SOL ≈ $121–122 XRP ≈ $1.52 BNB ≈ $797 BTC Dominance ≈ 58% Fear & Greed ≈ 70
🎯 What’s really worth watching today isn’t just whether BTC can break above $87K.
More importantly:
Traditional stocks are moving toward 24/7 on-chain trading, institutions continue to seek compliant entry points into RWA, and BTC is waiting for its next real breakout.
At this stage, the market is choppy and volatile, with buyers and sellers tugging back and forth. Don’t let short-term price swings carry you away emotionally. Plan your take-profit and stop-loss in advance, and refuse to open positions impulsively out of emotion. Opportunities are meant to be waited for, not forced. When you don’t understand, it’s best to choose to stand by. Risk control always comes first—staying alive means you’ll have another round of opportunities.#比特币冲击8.7万美元遇阻回落 #Zcash现货ETF首现周度净流出9360万美元
Bitcoin has taken another shot at $87,000! It briefly neared an eight-month high in early trading—just a few hundred dollars below the late-September peak of around $87,400—before pulling back to trade around $86,000. It’s still up 1%–2% over the past 24 hours, with gains of about 2.7% so far this month. Softer US jobs data fueled rate-cut expectations, lifting risk assets across the board. Total market capitalization climbed back above $3 trillion, and the Fear & Greed Index rose above 70, into “Greed” territory. The “Uptober” narrative is officially underway. October has historically seen sizable average gains, and bulls are eyeing the 2026 opening price of $87,570 as a key resistance level.
Altcoins are mixed, but there are plenty of standouts: Cardano (ADA) surged more than 10% to a five-month high; DOGE led major coins with gains of over 3%; and XRP and BNB followed, rising 1%–2%. On the institutional front, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) now holds more than $72 billion worth of Bitcoin, and Saylor continues to hint at further purchases.
Major regulatory and institutional developments: A joint venture between OKX and ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, has officially filed an application with the SEC. It plans to launch a 24/7 tokenized US stock trading platform under an innovation exemption framework, initially covering 63 NYSE-listed stocks and settling trades in stablecoins such as USDC and USDT—a further step toward the convergence of TradFi and crypto. El Salvador has also received its latest $138 million disbursement from the IMF, while Bitcoin-related exemptions remain in effect.
This week, keep an eye on the Federal Reserve meeting minutes (Wednesday), Treasury auctions, the Ethereum Glamsterdam testnet upgrade, and potential volatility from large token unlocks for HYPE, ENA, APT, and others.
There’s never a shortage of stories in crypto. Can Bitcoin truly break through $87K and open the path to $90K? Could tokenized stocks become the catalyst for the next wave of institutional adoption? Share your thoughts in the comments—is it full speed ahead for Uptober, or is it better to wait cautiously for macro developments to play out? 🚀
