On October 1 in the Eastern Time of the United States, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said that the period of inflation staying too high has gone on for too long, and there is a risk that inflation will remain elevated for a sustained period. However, he also said that he and his colleagues are weighing a range of economic shocks, need to carefully assess the data to be released in the future, and then decide on the next steps.
The U.S. nonfarm payrolls employment report will be released tonight at 20:30 ——————————————————————— If geopolitical tensions ease at the margin, it will help relieve upward pressure on oil prices, reduce the market risk premium, and create better room for U.S. equities to rebound. On the allocation side, we can focus on sectors with stronger earnings certainty, such as technology, energy, and financials. $NVDA.US
Do transactions always have to be initiated by people?
Recently, a certain viewpoint has been widely shared on X. It goes beyond the familiar ups and downs of crypto prices and short-term battles over candlestick charts, and takes a fresh look at crypto finance in the broader context of the AI wave. Researchers at traditional institutions and asset allocation professionals alike are discussing how our understanding of the crypto market has mostly focused on speculative trading between people. But the core use case for the next generation of crypto finance may be the exchange of value between machines. Before we get into this, let’s start with a simple question: What is money, really? Textbooks tell us that money is a medium of exchange. From ancient times to the present, every monetary system, bank account, and payment clearing network has been designed around people. People hold accounts, initiate transfers, verify identities, and manually approve transaction limits. This system has supported centuries of commercial activity and is highly mature, but it has an inherent weakness: it cannot efficiently serve automated, high-frequency, low-value machine transactions running 24/7.

It focuses on the convergence of AI agents, finance, and Web3 infrastructure, exploring autonomous fund management by AI agents, machine payments, and compliance automation. Traditional finance giants and leading Web3 projects—including Visa, Coinbase, Aave Labs, Chainlink, and Pantera Capital—are gathering to discuss how to build the next generation of on-chain financial infrastructure. The AI & Emerging Onchain Assets Summit is also taking place in Singapore today. Centered on “Value, Real-World Assets (RWA), and Liquidity,” it brings together developers, investors, and ecosystem builders to explore innovative applications for on-chain assets. 2. Domestic developments: Agent payment coordination network launches The world’s largest agent payment coordination network launched in Shanghai: On October 8, a blockchain and AI payment coordination network, jointly promoted by the China Electronics Standardization Institute and several industry-academia-research institutions in Shanghai, officially launched. It aims to standardize the language used by bank cards and e-wallets and advance machine payment standards for the AI era. 3. Key macro and industry themes to watch in October Macroeconomic policy and regulatory outlook: As mid-to-late October approaches, markets are closely watching U.S. macroeconomic data, including September nonfarm payrolls and CPI, as well as the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and Beige Book.

Slow down, enjoy the scenery around you, and don’t forget to cheer yourself on! There’s no need to rush to your destination in life. Take each step at your own pace and keep striving to become a better version of yourself. 😊
Crypto is not only about charts, price movements, and market trends. Understanding the fundamentals and being able to answer simple questions correctly is also an important part of becoming a better market participant.
So today, I’m turning the Red Packet into a small crypto knowledge challenge.
Here’s the question:
What is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization?
Take a moment before answering. Don’t just guess based on which coin you see trending the most. Think about overall market value and the role the asset plays in the broader crypto market.
The goal is simple: test your knowledge, share your answer, and see how many people can get it right.
There is no need to overcomplicate it. Sometimes the simplest questions are a good reminder of how much we actually understand about the market.
🤖 WHY BINANCE INTELLIGENCE COULD MATTER FOR CRYPTO
In my opinion, Binance Intelligence could become more than just another AI chatbot.
What caught my attention is the practical side — helping users understand markets, find relevant information faster, research opportunities and potentially test or implement strategies without needing deep technical skills.
Crypto runs 24/7. There’s endless news, price action, on-chain data, macro events and thousands of tokens.
The problem isn’t finding information. It’s knowing what actually matters.
That’s where AI could make a real difference.
If Binance can connect AI with its trading infrastructure, users may eventually be able to analyze markets faster and interact with digital assets in a much simpler way.
Of course, AI won’t guarantee profits. Markets remain unpredictable, and every strategy can fail.
But AI + crypto could seriously change how people research and use digital assets.
$BTC This drop to 83K—don’t just watch the candlesticks; there’s a lot more happening outside the market BTC dipped to around 82,700 at its lowest today, sliding all the way down from 86,600. It’s down more than 2% over 24 hours. This isn’t just the crypto market acting up on its own. 🌍 First, the bigger picture
Recent Iran-related attacks have pushed oil prices higher again, with Brent briefly climbing above $100. Meanwhile, the US 10-year Treasury yield has moved back up to around 5.3%. Rising oil prices, rising yields, and a stronger dollar are all weighing on risk assets. BTC’s drop from 86K is broadly in line with this macro trend. Then the crypto market added another blow of its own.
💥 More than $400 million in long positions were liquidated over the past dozen or so hours. That explains why the price fell so smoothly—this wasn’t gradual selling; highly leveraged longs were forced out all the way down. Wintermute is now watching the area around 82,500. If that level doesn’t hold, the pressure below could increase significantly. CoinDesk And right then, wallets belonging to the US government moved again. 🏛️ Wallets linked to the US government transferred more than $100 million worth of BTC and BNB, with some BTC going to Coinbase Prime. As soon as the market sees “government + Coinbase,” people start imagining a sell-off. But for now, we can only confirm the transfers, not that the assets have been sold. CoinDesk Now, the ETFs. 💰 October 5: -$89.8 million 💰 October 6: +$118.8 million 💰 October 7, reported so far: around -$66.9 million The flows are choppy—not a one-way exit. More interestingly, in late September, US spot BTC ETFs had just made up for this year’s net outflows, which had once reached as much as $5.8 billion, and returned to net inflows. Farside Investors
📊 Now let’s look at the futures positioning. Binance BTC: OI: around 95,800 BTC Longs among regular accounts: 62.8% Whale positions long: 61.8% Funding rate: -0.00099% This combination has caught my attention. The price is falling, more and more traders are buying the dip, yet the funding rate is still negative. That suggests the market isn’t in a euphoric “everyone is going all-in long” state. Instead, plenty of traders are still willing to hold short positions. And just last week, Citi raised its 12-month BTC target from $82,000 to $113,000, citing the return of ETF inflows and improved activity across the broader crypto market.
Currently showing a stronger bearish divergence than $BTC , and it’s expected to keep falling. Hope everyone makes a fortune from the bearish divergence! Milk Dragon’s fan-appreciation edition: Milk Dragon is also giving everyone a 100 U red-envelope bonus 🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧
