#法国推进加密自托管申报提案
$940 million in on-chain transactions a year are being brought into the tax base. Now even cold-wallet addresses have to be disclosed. Fail to report and face an $11,000 fine 🦖

🚨 行情变了群里说

The French National Assembly’s Finance Committee has passed two amendments. One requires taxpayers to report self-hosted wallets worth €100,000 (about $112,000) or more. Failure to report could result in a fine of up to €10,000 (about $11,000). The other extends the 31.4% crypto capital gains tax to transactions converting crypto into EU-regulated stablecoins. Both measures would take effect on January 1, 2027 ⚖️

First, the wallet-reporting measure. It is based on amendment I-CF821, and the threshold is determined by the market value of holdings at the end of each year. If your holdings exceed €100,000, you must report your self-hosted wallets. The official justification is that crypto holdings are being underreported, and that the measure will help combat fraud. But note that this is still only a proposal. It must go back to the National Assembly in plenary, and the entire budget bill must pass by December 10.

The second measure is even tougher. France currently taxes crypto gains at a flat rate of 31.4%, generally applying only when assets are sold or spent. The new amendment, CF1826, would make converting Bitcoin into a stablecoin under the MiCA framework a taxable event too—adding another layer of friction out of nowhere. There is also discussion of extending the exit tax to large crypto holdings and allowing losses to be carried forward for 10 years.

The crypto community’s reaction has been explosive. Rand Hindi, founder of privacy protocol Zama, openly urged people who live in France and hold crypto to leave—and, if they can’t, to hire bodyguards for their families. Nym CEO Harry Halpin pointed out that France’s tax authority has already had cases of employees selling crypto holders’ information to criminals. Centralizing the data in one list is like handing criminals a map ⚠️

This is no exaggeration. Over the past two years, France has been a European hotspot for crypto-related robberies. A Ledger co-founder was kidnapped at home and had one of his fingers cut off. The wife of a Sandbox co-founder was targeted in an attempted kidnapping. A couple in their fifties were forced at knifepoint by fake police officers to transfer $1 million in Bitcoin. Statistics show that, of the 52 physical attacks on crypto holders worldwide through July this year, 39 took place in Europe.

Francois Volpoet, Chainalysis’s head of France, also warned that taxing stablecoin conversions will simply push money toward DeFi and over-the-counter markets. That’s because only MiCA-compliant stablecoins are in the crosshairs, while other tokens remain out of range. He offered a comparison: from July 2024 to June 2025, trading volume for the euro stablecoin EURC in Europe rose by 2,727%, while USDC grew by just 86% over the same period.

My take is that the real story isn’t the 31.4% tax rate—it’s the reporting requirement itself. Tax transparency probably isn’t going away, but creating a list of who holds how much crypto that could be leaked by insiders comes with risks that are out of proportion to the benefits. The most likely short-term outcome isn’t that French people sell their crypto, but that they move their assets and transactions somewhere beyond the reach of regulators.

Two things are worth watching: first, whether the self-hosted wallet reporting clause survives past December 10; and second, where money goes outside MiCA-regulated stablecoins. If trading volumes for other assets rise noticeably, it’ll be a sign that the market has voted with its feet.

Do you think this kind of reporting requirement will spread to more countries? Let’s discuss in the comments.

Only 4.6% away from $100: 12% of leveraged positions exited in a week 🦖

⚡ 有大动静群里说

SOL is currently at $104.59, down 2.1% in 24 hours and 9.3% over the past week. It’s now just about 4.6% away from the key $100 level. But the real shift this time isn’t in the price—it’s in leverage. Over the past week, open interest in SOL futures fell by 12.1%, while funding rates slid from positive territory all the way to zero 📉

This suggests that the leveraged positions built up during the previous rally are now being unwound in an orderly fashion. It’s not panic selling; traders are simply paying down their borrowed positions. Spot prices are still holding firmly above $100, and over the past 30 days, SOL is actually still up around 1.3%. It’s leverage that’s falling—not the underlying holdings.

The timing is even more interesting. Next Wednesday, October 21, Solana is set to launch its next-generation consensus mechanism, Alpenglow. It will activate at epoch 1064. According to the official targets, transaction finality will drop from around 12.8 seconds today to 150 milliseconds—about 85 times faster. Vote transactions will be moved entirely off the block, freeing up block space. The network’s fault tolerance is set at 20% malicious stake plus 20% of nodes going offline ⚡

On one side, the technology aims to cut confirmation times from over ten seconds to a fraction of a second. On the other, market participants are choosing to reduce leverage first. The fact that both are happening at once is what makes this market move worth watching.

My take: paying down leverage before the upgrade is usually healthier than seeing prices drift steadily lower until a cascade of liquidations kicks in. But it’s still worth staying alert. If SOL loses $100, stop-loss orders and liquidation levels could cluster around that key threshold. At that point, the test won’t be sentiment—it’ll be whether spot buyers are willing to step in.

There are two things to watch: first, whether SOL can hold $100 at the daily close; second, whether active addresses and actual network fees pick up on the day the upgrade goes live. No matter how compelling the story sounds, the data will have the final say.

Do you think this is a leverage shakeout ahead of the upgrade, or a turning point for this altcoin rally?

#strive斥资2.8亿美元增持3311枚btc
After pouring in $515 million across two purchases, it now has just 18 more Bitcoin than its rival—and has claimed fourth place among U.S.-listed companies holding Bitcoin 🦖

📈 进群看今日思路

Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company Strive has made another move. It bought 2,822 Bitcoin between October 12 and 13 at an average price of $83,266, spending about $235 million. That brought its total holdings to 35,595 Bitcoin—just 18 more than longtime mining company MARA’s 35,577, putting Strive in fourth place 📈

This didn’t happen in isolation. Just a few days earlier, Strive had bought 3,311 Bitcoin at an average price of $84,500, for about $280 million. Combined, the two purchases total 6,133 Bitcoin and roughly $515 million in spending. Its holdings jumped from 29,462 to 35,595 Bitcoin in one go, an 8.6% increase in a short time 🐋

Here’s the current leaderboard: Strategy is far ahead of everyone with 848,250 Bitcoin, followed by Metaplanet with 44,000, Twenty One Capital with 43,514, Strive with 35,595, and MARA with 35,577. In other words, the gap between fourth and fifth place is just 18 Bitcoin, worth about $1.47 million at current prices. Normal price fluctuations over a single day could easily flip their positions back and forth.

What’s even more worth considering is the cost basis. The average purchase prices for these two buys were $83,266 and $84,500, both above Bitcoin’s current price of $81,716. In other words, they’re already sitting on paper losses. But the price isn’t what they’re focused on—it’s their ranking, and the stock price that ranking can help deliver. The stock is up 87% so far this year. Earlier in the year, Strive also completed an acquisition, bringing Semler Scientific into the fold and adding about 5,048 Bitcoin—turning a healthcare company into a Bitcoin treasury company.

My take: the ranking race among Bitcoin treasury companies is itself fuel for fundraising. The higher a company ranks, the easier it is to issue shares and debt, raise money, and buy more Bitcoin—pushing it further up the rankings. This cycle looks perfect when prices are rising, but it ties companies’ share prices ever more tightly to Bitcoin’s price. If prices fall, fundraising windows and repayment pressures could hit at the same time. Rather than a moat, Strive’s extra 18 Bitcoin may simply put it right on the dividing line.

Do you think these Bitcoin treasury companies competing for rankings is a sign that the industry is maturing, or a warning sign of another cycle of leveraged growth?

The clearing giant that settles $47 quadrillion in securities a year is quietly opening four doors for XRP 🦖
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which oversees $114 trillion in assets, is moving forward with a tokenization settlement initiative involving more than 80 institutions. On-chain researcher SMQKE has uncovered four channels already linking the XRP Ledger to this U.S. securities infrastructure ⚖️

🕐 最新解读群里更新

The first is Ripple Prime, the institutional prime brokerage business built after Ripple acquired Hidden Road. It is now an official member of DTCC’s tokenization working group.
The second is the most significant: DTCC itself acquired blockchain company Securrency and renamed it DTCC Digital Assets. Its protocol natively supports Ethereum, Stellar, and Ripple’s blockchain—meaning DTCC already holds a key that could be deployed directly on the XRP Ledger 🔑
The third is custody network Fireblocks. Also part of DTCC’s working group, it already supports the custody and transfer of XRP Ledger assets.
The fourth is Securitize, which integrated Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin into its platform. In early June this year, it also became an official DTCC participant under the Securitize name.

To put it plainly: of these four channels, only the second is directly controlled by DTCC. The first and third are working group members, while the fourth is a participant. In other words, DTCC has never publicly committed to using XRP for settlement. It has simply put infrastructure that is compatible with XRP on the table. Bulls see potential; bears see four possible connections—not connections that have actually been made.

Do you think these four channels are the beginning of XRP’s real entry into U.S. securities settlement, or just another positive development being overhyped by the market?

A company that accumulated 2 million SOL now has just 600,000 a month later. No explanation for where the other 400,000 went 🦖

📣 盘面异动群里喊

SkyAI, a Nasdaq-listed company that stockpiles Solana, said in a September 14 announcement that it held more than 2 million SOL, worth about $207 million at the time, and reaffirmed its commitment to its Solana reserve strategy. But in a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this Tuesday, its remaining holdings were down to about 600,000 SOL—down 70% in less than a month 📉

The most glaring issue isn’t the drop—it’s the missing 400,000 SOL. In its own buyback announcement on October 11, the company explicitly said it had sold about 1 million SOL and still held about 1 million. But in the latest filing, the figure had dropped by another 400,000. At current prices, that’s worth about $41 million. The filing doesn’t explain where the SOL went, or say how much was sold, when it was sold, or at what price ⚖️

Bastion Trading, the company’s second-largest shareholder with a stake of nearly 10%, flatly rejected SkyAI’s $3-per-share tender offer and demanded at least $3.50 per share. It also asked the company to disclose the dates, amounts, prices, and use of proceeds for all recent token sales, as well as who approved them. Bastion further called for a group of advisory warrants to be excluded, arguing that they were granted to a company controlled by the brother of SkyAI’s chief investment officer.

The company’s plan is to use proceeds from selling tokens to buy back up to 95% of its outstanding shares and warrants, for a total of about $200 million. In plain terms, it’s buying itself back into a much smaller company. And this kind of move isn’t particularly unusual this year. At September’s shareholder meeting, all five directors received more votes against them than in favor—but they all kept their seats because there was no option to vote them out.

My take: A wave of companies hoarding crypto has emerged during this market cycle. Investors have focused on how much they could lose if token prices fall, but SkyAI’s first warning sign isn’t the token price—it’s governance. When a company’s core assets can shrink by 70% in a month, and shareholders have to piece together what happened by asking questions, the basis for its valuation is about more than just the price of SOL 🐋

Meanwhile, SOL is trading at $103.85, down 3.85% over 24 hours. Bitcoin is at $81,518, down 2%, and Ethereum is at $2,421, down 3.55%. The entire crypto-treasury sector is being repriced alongside other risk assets. The further token prices fall, the tighter the cycle becomes for these companies: issuing shares to buy tokens, then relying on those tokens to support their share price.

So, what do you think is the biggest risk for crypto-hoarding companies: token prices or governance? Let’s talk in the comments.

#以太坊跌破2500美元
Ethereum falls below $2,500 after 10 straight days of declines—money had just started flowing back, but it couldn’t stop the slide 🦖

💥 ⏰ 消息群里第一时间说

In the early hours of October 15, Ethereum was trading at $2,428, down 2.83% over 24 hours. The $2,500 threshold had officially been breached. At the same time, Bitcoin fell to $81,528, down 1.81% over 24 hours. More than 83,000 crypto traders were liquidated across the market in the past 24 hours 📉

The trigger didn’t come from crypto. U.S. CPI rose 3.7% year over year in September, above the market’s 3.6% forecast. Oil prices pushed inflation back up. In just one day, the odds of another 25-basis-point rate hike at the Fed’s meeting later this month surged from 22.1% to 53.7%. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 5.308%, nearing a 24-year high. U.S. stocks and silver fell together, and crypto looked like collateral damage.

The starkest contrast is this: Ethereum spot ETFs had just ended a 10-day streak of net outflows, with a single-day net inflow of $24.8394 million. Grayscale’s ETH fund alone accounted for $16.72 million. Money had only just turned positive, yet the price broke below support. That suggests pricing power this time isn’t coming from crypto-market flows—it’s coming from macro factors 🐋

The knock-on effects are showing up too. Ethereum treasury stocks weakened across the board during U.S. trading, with SharpLink leading the declines. Bitmine, the largest ETH accumulator, now holds 6.03 million ETH—about 4.9% of the circulating supply. Every step lower in the token’s price puts more pressure on these companies’ balance sheets and financing narratives. In a downturn, the treasury strategy comes down to who can access cheaper capital.

My take: Ethereum’s fundamentals haven’t deteriorated; it’s been reclassified as a risk asset. This CPI-driven drop has put rate-hike expectations back on the table. As long as oil prices stay high, it’ll be hard for crypto to rally independently before the Fed meeting. The key level to watch now is whether ETH can reclaim $2,500 from $2,428 within two days. If it can’t, the next area to watch is around $2,300 🦕

So, what do you think? Is Ethereum falling along with the broader market, or did it weaken on its own first? Let’s talk in the comments.

From teaching people to code to a $1.1 billion valuation: this crypto education platform is preparing to go public via a direct listing—and turn its own shares into tokens 🦖📈

🚨 行情变了群里说

On October 14, CoinDesk reported that EasyA, founded by the Kwok brothers, had reached an independent valuation of $1.1 billion, officially joining the unicorn club. The company plans to list via a direct listing in the first half of 2027. It won’t go through a traditional IPO or raise new capital; existing shareholders will simply be able to sell their shares on the public market.

What makes this unusual is what the company actually sells. Not coins, and not AI models, but something further upstream: helping public blockchain and AI companies attract developers. Its app now has more than 1.3 million users, and its clients include Ripple and Solana. Tutorials and hackathons help introduce new technologies to developers.

The second part of the story is even more worth watching. The company has already submitted a draft registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and completed a two-year audit by PKF. Co-founder Dominic Kwok made it clear that putting the company’s own shares into circulation in tokenized form is part of the roadmap—and could even happen on day one of the listing. But the specifics of how the shares will be issued and where they’ll trade haven’t been announced yet.

There’s plenty of potential in this direction. Tokenized stocks are attracting the attention of major institutions: brokerages are building on-chain infrastructure, while regulators are laying the groundwork for tokenized securities. Whoever gets it working first could capture the first wave of activity. That said, an independent valuation doesn’t mean the market is willing to pay that price. The share price could chart a completely different course after listing, as has happened in other direct listings.

Here’s another interesting detail: some developers who honed their skills at EasyA hackathons went on to found Cognition, the company behind Devin, an AI coding assistant. Cognition is now valued at around $48 billion. For a platform that teaches developers, its most valuable asset may actually be the people it has identified and nurtured.

My take: the real significance of this news is that the crypto narrative is expanding beyond coins. First came stablecoins and on-chain funds; now it’s equity and education. Whoever can bring traditional assets on-chain will get a ticket to the next wave. But in the short term, this is more of a window to watch than a catalyst for an immediate market rally.

So, what do you think: will tokenized stocks take off first at crypto-native companies, or will major institutions get there first? Let’s discuss in the comments 🔍

138 million crypto transactions. Not a single human paid for them 🦖

👉 进群看盘面

A new North America report from on-chain data firm Chainalysis has uncovered a market that few people have been paying attention to. From last year through the third quarter of this year, AI agents used the x402 protocol, incubated by a U.S.-regulated exchange, to make over 138 million payments on the Base blockchain—all by themselves. They paid for data, computing power, and access to large language models, without a human ever clicking to confirm.

The striking difference shows up in the wallet addresses. Among these AI payments, 88.1% of wallets with an identifiable origin were linked to the U.S., while just 0.1% were linked to China—a gap of nearly 900 times. Eric Jardine, head of research at Chainalysis, offered a straightforward explanation: Chinese developers are more likely to use open-weight models such as DeepSeek and Qwen. Deploying these themselves means they don’t have to pay per query for inference services.

Even more astonishing is the transaction size: more than 87% of x402 payments were between 1 cent and 10 cents, with most worth less than a penny 💸. Traditional credit card networks can’t even cover their processing fees on amounts like these. Only stablecoins can make them work. In July this year, x402 processed around 75 million transactions in a month, but the total value was just $24 million—an average of a little over 30 cents per transaction.

Wallet usage is changing, too. Of the wallets newly funded in the second quarter of 2026, 89.3% received additional funds within 30 days. In the third quarter of 2025, that figure was 70.6%. The time between a wallet receiving funds and making its first x402 payment has also fallen—from an average of 73 days at the end of 2025 to just 18 minutes in the third quarter of 2026.

My take: the real value of this news isn’t the figure of 138 million. It’s that, for the first time, the payment layer of the AI economy has been quantified. Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe have all integrated the x402 protocol. Some in the industry predict there will eventually be 100 billion AI agents transacting online. But the same report also cautions that a high transaction count doesn’t necessarily mean genuine commercial demand. People were already raising concerns about wash trading in the early days. The sector hasn’t generated much revenue yet, but the gateways are already being snapped up.

Put simply, the crypto world has been searching for its next wave of users. The next billion users used to mean emerging markets. Now, more and more people are saying the next billion users could be AI agents. They don’t need to open accounts or verify their identities—just a wallet that can receive stablecoins. That’s a real positive for stablecoins and low-fee blockchains, but for middlemen whose business relies on helping people open accounts, it’s a noose slowly tightening.

Here’s the question: do you think AI agents spending money on their own is real demand, or just another narrative-driven bubble? Let’s talk in the comments 🔍

#9月cpi来袭原油美债走势如何
Gasoline surged 9.1% in a month, Bitcoin got hammered for $1,500 overnight, and the odds of a rate hike more than doubled 💥

🕐 最新解读群里更新

The U.S. September CPI report just came out: inflation rose 3.7% year over year, above the market’s 3.6% forecast and well above August’s 3.4%. Bitcoin promptly fell from above $83,000 to $82,142, while Ethereum dropped 2.8% to $2,440. More than $281 million in positions were liquidated across the crypto market in 24 hours, most of them longs wiped out in a wave during the final four hours.

Let’s lay out the numbers. Gasoline was the biggest driver of inflation this time, surging 9.1% in a single month and accounting for more than half of the monthly increase. The overall energy index rose 5.2%, while core CPI, which excludes food and energy, also climbed to 2.6%—0.1 percentage point above expectations. That shows price increases aren’t confined to oil; they’re gradually spreading to rents, airfares, and services. That’s exactly what the Fed is watching most closely.

The market reacted even faster than the data itself. CME FedWatch showed the probability of a rate hike at the October 27–28 meeting jumping from 22.1% the previous day to 53.7%. The odds of another hike in December also reached 50%. The two-year Treasury yield jumped about 10 basis points to 4.9%, while the 10-year yield surged to 5.329%, nearing a 24-year high. Gold fell back to $4,079, the S&P 500 dropped 0.6%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.8%.

🦖 In plain English: this isn’t just an ordinary pullback. The market is repricing the Fed. Just yesterday, people were saying there might be no rate hikes in 2027; now, overnight, hikes have gone from a tail risk to the mainstream scenario. Bitcoin is currently stuck in the $81,847–$82,305 golden zone. If it closes below $81,603 on the daily chart, the previous low of $80,365 comes into play.

My take: what really matters isn’t today’s drop, but Friday’s PPI. If prices at the producer level also climb, a December hike could shift from an option to a foregone conclusion, and the good times for risk assets will be shorter-lived.

One more thing to keep in mind: oil prices have stayed above $90 for two months. As long as energy prices remain elevated, inflation will struggle to truly cool down.

Do you think this is a short-term wick, or is the rate-hike cycle starting up again? Let’s talk in the comments.

Once sued by U.S. regulators for more than $1 billion—and won in court. Two years later, he was handcuffed in Istanbul 🦖

📣 盘面异动群里喊

Hex founder Richard Heart, whose real name is Richard James Schueler, was taken into custody by local police and Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization in Istanbul on Wednesday morning. The operation was carried out under an Interpol Red Notice. He and his wife were detained. Police had been watching his residence in the Beşiktaş district for some time.

The items seized at the scene speak volumes: more than a dozen phones, several laptops, graphics cards, rifles, handguns, two drones, gold bracelets, and large amounts of cash in various currencies. The information comes from Turkish media outlet Daily Sabah, citing local news agency IHA ⚖️

The longer timeline is even more interesting. In 2018, he launched Hex, marketed as a high-yield blockchain certificate of deposit. In 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accused him and three entities he controlled—Hex, PulseChain, and PulseX—of offering crypto asset securities without registering, raising more than $1 billion. It also accused him of misappropriating at least $12 million to buy luxury cars, expensive watches, and a 555-carat black diamond named The Enigma.

But in February 2025, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction, ruling that his activities had not been clearly directed at U.S. investors. The SEC also failed to amend its complaint before an April deadline, and the case was closed. His lawyer called it a complete victory at the time 💥

So the real key this time isn’t that $1 billion. It’s that the leverage has changed. The Red Notice was issued in 2024 at Finland’s request, and listed just one charge: aggravated tax fraud. Finland had also previously sought him in connection with an alleged assault. Turkish media, meanwhile, described the notice as related to high-value crypto fraud. To be clear, a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant. It is a request by one country for law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest someone, facilitating subsequent extradition proceedings.

Put simply, what brought him down wasn’t securities law, but tax law and international police cooperation. For many founders who register their companies offshore, keep their assets on-chain, and live in a third country, securities lawsuits can be dragged out with jurisdictional arguments and lawyers. But a tax-related Red Notice can get someone stopped directly at an airport or at home. Regulators are shifting their focus from product compliance to people and cash flows ⚠️

One other detail bears watching: it’s still unclear whether Finland has formally requested his extradition from Turkey. That will determine whether this proceeds through the courts or turns into a drawn-out diplomatic standoff ⚠️

Do you think a series of cases like this involving founders will push more project teams to move their companies and teams entirely out of Europe and the U.S.? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Inflation turns back up: September CPI jumps to 3.7% year over year, Bitcoin gets slammed down $1,000 in an instant 🦖

⚡ 有大动静群里说

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released data Wednesday morning showing that the Consumer Price Index rose 0.6% month over month in September, while the year-over-year increase climbed from 3.4% in August to 3.7%, above market expectations of 3.6%. Core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 0.3% month over month and 2.6% year over year, also beating expectations across the board. As soon as the data came out, Bitcoin quickly fell from around $83,300, shedding about $1,000 to trade at $82,800 💥

The bond market took the hardest hit. The 10-year Treasury yield surged 9.3 basis points to 5.308%, while the 2-year yield jumped even more, up 13.1 basis points to 4.924%. Both climbed to levels not seen in more than two decades. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.65%, S&P 500 futures dropped 0.3%, and even gold slid 1.5% to $4,116 an ounce 📉

The strange thing about this report is that the 0.6% month-over-month increase was right in line with expectations. The real shock was buried in the year-over-year figure and core components. Inflation isn’t gradually cooling—it’s quietly picking up speed again. Ahead of the meeting, a number of Fed officials had already floated the possibility of another 25-basis-point rate hike before year-end. Markets had expected the Fed to hold rates steady at this month’s meeting and save any hike for December. Now, an October hike is back on the table ⚖️

In other words, if rate-hike expectations return, the dollar and Treasury yields have room to push higher. Bitcoin, an asset that generates no cash flow, is among the first to take the hit. The $82,000 level it’s now holding isn’t just a technical support level—it’s also a psychological dividing line between bulls and bears. Hold above it, and this is a pullback; fail to hold it, and the trend has reversed.

Do you think this 25-basis-point hike will actually happen in October? Is this move in Bitcoin a pullback or a turning point? Let’s discuss in the comments.

After 10 straight days of outflows totaling $783 million, Ethereum ETF money finally stopped running 🦖

🕐 最新解读群里更新

On Tuesday, Eastern Time, spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $24.839 million in a single day—the first positive day after 10 consecutive trading days of net outflows. One Grayscale ETH product alone contributed $16.7278 million, about two-thirds of the day’s total inflows. All the other products combined brought in only around $8.11 million.

The backdrop: the official topic had logged 10 consecutive days of net outflows. Last week’s net outflows totaled $542 million, the worst weekly figure since January this year. BlackRock’s ETHA alone saw $477 million flow out. According to third-party figures, cumulative outflows over those 10 trading days were around $783 million. By Tuesday this week, the numbers had finally turned green 📈

Here’s the contrast: the money is back, but the price isn’t. Ethereum rose just 0.32% over 24 hours, hovering around $2,505, with a market cap of about $305.9 billion. Bitcoin held at $83,460, proving steadier than Ethereum. On one side, passive ETF money is turning back; on the other, active investors are still waiting on the sidelines.

Now let’s look at the other side of demand. Bitmine, the market’s largest Ethereum buyer, has built up a position of around 6.03 million ETH, close to 5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. At current prices, that’s worth about $15 billion. Its total holdings of crypto, cash, and tradable securities are worth about $16.2 billion. The question is: when this biggest buyer can no longer keep buying, who will take the baton? That’s the key variable worth watching next ⚠️

I have three takeaways. First, a single-day inflow of $24.83 million is just a drop in the bucket compared with the outflows that were often over $100 million. One day of data can’t tell us the trend. Second, the return of inflows to Grayscale ETH, a long-established product, looks more like dip-buying than the start of a new narrative. Third, what Ethereum lacks right now isn’t money—it’s a story. In October, capital rotated into high-beta assets like ZEC and NEAR. Money always flows toward places with greater upside potential.

So I see this ETF turnaround as stemming the bleeding, not a reversal. What would confirm a real reversal is net inflows for at least three consecutive days, alongside the price reclaiming $2,600. Do you still hold Ethereum? Do you think this is a return of capital or the start of a turning point? Let’s talk in the comments 👇

A $1.1 billion penalty could haunt him for life. SBF, who’ll be behind bars until 2043, has taken his case to the Supreme Court 🦖

🔍 进群聊行情

Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the now-bankrupt exchange, was convicted of seven counts of fraud in 2023 and sentenced to 25 years in prison, plus $11 billion in forfeitures. His appeal was rejected by the Second Circuit in June, and now his lawyer, Jeffrey Fisher, says a petition for a writ of certiorari has been filed with the U.S. Supreme Court ⚖️

The timeline gets even more interesting: the Supreme Court originally gave the government until October 15 to respond. That deadline has now been extended to November 16. The justices may not decide whether to take the case until late 2026 or early 2027. If they do, a ruling could come by the end of the current term in June 2027—or during the next term.

His petition makes two arguments. First, the trial court showed the jury evidence about how much money the victims had actually lost. Second, the $11 billion forfeiture crossed the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on excessive fines. The prosecution’s argument is simple: the moment the money was transferred to Alameda, customers had been defrauded, regardless of whether he could pay it back later.

Former federal prosecutor Mark Bini’s take is worth hearing. He says the odds of getting the conviction overturned and a new trial are low. Citing the 2007 Carpenter case rather than the 2025 Kousisis case makes for an uphill legal battle. But the $11 billion figure is very interesting. A more realistic outcome would be a reduced penalty, not a new trial 💥

The real contrast is in the repayment process. The exchange went bankrupt in November 2022 and only began repaying creditors in 2025, using crypto prices from the time of the collapse to calculate payouts. Over those three years, major cryptocurrencies rose in value, and many creditors missed out on those gains. The money was repaid, but not enough 📉

His lawyer added that he doesn’t have a penny to his name. That $11 billion is effectively a debt he’ll owe the government for life—every penny he earns after getting out of prison will have to be handed over.

A case that was already decided is back at the threshold of a bigger question about the rules. Do you think the Supreme Court will take it? Let’s talk in the comments.

France is planning to extend its 31.4% capital gains tax to stablecoins. The first to warn that it could drive traders overseas? Chainalysis 🦖—the very company that helps the government track on-chain funds every day.

📣 盘面异动群里喊

The amendment has already cleared one hurdle: it was adopted by the French National Assembly’s Finance Committee on October 7. The change is fairly specific. Until now, French residents generally didn’t trigger capital gains tax when swapping Bitcoin for another cryptocurrency. The new rule would treat swaps into stablecoins regulated under the EU’s MiCA framework as taxable events, starting January 1, 2027. France’s current crypto capital gains tax rate is 31.4% ⚖️

In other words, swapping into a compliant stablecoin could mean losing more than 30% upfront. Chainalysis France CEO Francois Volpoet put the contradiction plainly: do you want more taxpayers declaring their assets, or a system where tax rates keep rising while the tax base keeps slipping away?

The real question is where this tax applies. It would cover only stablecoins subject to EU rules, effectively creating a tax-driven price gap between compliant stablecoins and others. And money is very good at flowing to wherever the tax rate is lower 📊

The same batch of amendments includes several other measures: self-custody wallets holding more than €100,000 (about $116,000) would have to be declared, with a maximum fine of $11,600 for failing to report; the offshore tax would be extended to crypto holdings worth about $900,000; and losses could be carried forward for 10 years. The Finance Committee has now rejected the budget revenue section by 31 votes to 3. These provisions must go back to the National Assembly for another vote on October 20. None of them is law yet.

There’s another risk that gets less attention: Chainalysis is concerned that requiring people to declare self-custody wallets could expose who owns crypto. By July this year, Europe had recorded 39 of the 52 violent incidents targeting crypto holders worldwide. France alone accounted for 33—that’s 63.5% of the global total ⚠️

My take: France really does want to push trading into regulated stablecoin channels, making it easier to collect taxes and monitor activity. But using tax differences to distinguish compliant from non-compliant stablecoins gives people a clear reason to move their money elsewhere. Greece, meanwhile, is preparing a crypto capital gains tax of just 10%—the exact opposite approach.

Do you think taxing compliant stablecoins will actually bring in revenue, or will it drive both people and trading away? Let’s talk in the comments 👀

An exchange holding about 5% of all Bitcoin has suddenly issued a warning: quantum computers could empty your wallet before you know it 🦖

🧭 群里聊方向

Google researchers previously estimated that a quantum computer capable of breaking Bitcoin’s encryption—what’s known as a cryptographically relevant quantum computer—could appear as early as around 2029 ⚠️

This isn’t science fiction. Bitcoin wallet security is built on two digital signature schemes, ECDSA and Schnorr. Today’s computers can’t crack them, but once quantum computing crosses a certain threshold, attackers could work backward from public keys to derive private keys and transfer the Bitcoin in those wallets straight out.

This week, an exchange that custodies about 5% of all Bitcoin—nearly a million coins—for banks, asset managers, and hedge funds published a blog post with a blunt conclusion: preparations for a post-quantum upgrade must begin now. The reason is sobering: Bitcoin changes slowly. Consensus changes and ecosystem migrations can take years, so we can’t wait until the day quantum computers are publicly announced before taking action 🔐

Its proposal is quite specific: separate the signature container from the signature itself, so the transaction format can directly accommodate new post-quantum signatures. For now, BIP-360 and P2TRv2 appear to be the best options. It also suggests phased protection, allowing active wallets to first adopt a two-lock structure for each coin, where both traditional and post-quantum signatures can authorize spending. That way, no one has to switch everything over at once.

The biggest headache is wallets that have been inactive for a long time—or whose private keys have been lost. The blog warns that once quantum computing reaches the necessary level, coins in these dormant addresses could be quietly swept away before the public notices. How to deal with them is highly contentious, so it recommends discussing them separately rather than holding up the overall upgrade.

My take: the point isn’t that quantum computers are coming tomorrow. It’s that a market worth about $1.3 trillion is being forced, for the first time, to face an adversary it must start preparing for years in advance. Bitcoin has always relied on the community slowly working toward consensus. This time, moving slowly could itself be a risk.

Do you think we should protect old wallets first, or add locks to new wallets first? Let’s talk in the comments 👀

#比特币突破8.4万美元
The one-line takeaway: no more rate hikes needed in 2027. Bitcoin bounced back 1.5% overnight, climbing to $83,900 🦖

🏛️ ⏰ 消息群里第一时间说

New York Fed President Williams’ latest remarks became the direct fuel for this rally. The dollar weakened in response, and Asian stocks turned positive across the board.

But he also left himself some wiggle room, saying there could still be one more rate hike this year. Thursday’s U.S. inflation data will be the real judge.

Let’s get the numbers straight.

Bitcoin rose 1.5% on the day, nearing $83,900 and moving back toward its previous high.
Ethereum gained 2%, returning to around $2,520.
SOL and Dogecoin each rose 2.5%.
Privacy coin ZEC led the way, surging nearly 7% in a day to about $1,270.
XRP, BNB, and HYPE gained 1% to 2%, while Tron (TRX) was the weakest, up less than 1%.

On the macro front, S&P 500 futures rose 0.2%, staying close to last week’s record highs 📈
Asian chip stocks stopped falling, with Samsung and SK Hynix both rebounding and ending a five-day losing streak.
The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index rose 0.7%, recovering from a two-month low.

Oil is adding to the heat: Brent crude rose 0.7% to around $106, while U.S. crude has now risen for five straight days.

In plain English, this isn’t a bull-market signal—it’s a typical rebound in expectations.

Williams said no further rate hikes would be needed in 2027, while also acknowledging that another hike could still be on the table this year.
The market only heard the first half. The dollar came under pressure, and risk assets immediately caught their breath ⚠️

Thursday’s inflation data is the real turning point.
If the reading is cool enough to rule out that final rate hike this year, Bitcoin may get a chance to test $85,000.
If the reading comes in hot, this rally could easily be knocked back to where it started.

So this rise looks more like a dash ahead of the data release.
Rather than chasing prices higher, keep an eye on two things: Thursday’s inflation data, and whether Bitcoin can truly break above $84,000—a resistance level it has repeatedly failed to clear.

A chip hidden inside a wallet’s casing. All it takes is one glance at the screen while setting up the device: 24 words are sent over a mobile network, and $86 million may have vanished as a result 🦖

⚡ 有大动静群里说

On October 13, hardware wallet giant Ledger asked distributors in six countries—Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia—as well as Hong Kong, to stop selling its products and remove all devices from store shelves. The reason: Ledger confirmed that a device had been tampered with ⚠️

The most insidious thing about this chip is that it doesn’t touch the firmware or the security chip that stores the keys. It does just one thing: spy on the screen during setup. When the 24-word recovery phrase appears, it decodes the words and sends them out over an LTE network using a built-in eSIM. In other words, the device’s appearance, packaging, and signature verification all look normal. You’d never know 🔐

It started on October 9, when a problem was reported with devices sold by Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis. On October 10, Ledger officially confirmed that one device had been compromised. On-chain investigator Specter traced suspected thefts totaling more than $86 million across Ethereum, Tron, and Bitcoin. Two other researchers estimated the figure at between $72 million and $86 million. But Ledger stressed that it has yet to verify the number of people affected or the total losses.

The fallout has spread across the industry. European electronics retail giant MediaMarkt announced that it would remove all Ledger products from its physical stores and online platforms. Competitor Trezor also announced on October 13 that it would reduce its network of authorized distributors, effective January 1, 2027, and immediately stop supplying those channels. It emphasized that there is no evidence its own devices have been compromised; the move is a response to recent supply-chain incidents 💥

My take: this incident didn’t pierce the encryption—it exposed the final link in the hardware wallet business model: distribution. The industry has long said hardware wallets are the safest option because the keys stay offline and you get the device directly from an authorized source. But this incident shows exactly the opposite: if someone can tamper with a distributor, the device in your hands could look brand-new, have intact packaging, and run clean firmware—and still be a device with a spy inside.

The bigger problem is that you can’t prove the device is clean using conventional methods. You can verify a firmware change with a signature, and check a chip’s serial number. But an independent add-on that only reads the screen and sends a message leaves the device working as usual. That’s why Ledger’s only response has been to halt sales across the entire region: even Ledger doesn’t yet know at which point in the distribution chain the chip was planted.

For everyday crypto holders, there are three things worth watching next: First, will the investigation extend to markets outside Southeast Asia? Second, will tighter controls on distribution force more people to buy hardware wallets directly from manufacturers? Third, will multisig go from an institutional setup to a standard for individuals? Using devices from different manufacturers to create a multisig wallet means that even if one device is compromised, the funds can’t be moved.

Let’s discuss in the comments: Did you buy your hardware wallet from an official source or a third party? What do you check after unboxing it?

#英国高院裁定钱志敏案适用中国法
Bitcoin has risen 200-fold in ten years: from 2,815 yuan per coin to 560,000 yuan. Victims may ultimately get back only their principal 🦖

🕐 最新解读群里更新

On October 12, the High Court of England and Wales issued a key ruling in the Tianjin Lantian Gerui illegal fundraising case. The property claims of 16,000 Chinese victims to the approximately 61,000 seized bitcoins must be judged under Chinese law. The coins were bought in 2014 at an average price of 2,815 yuan each. Today, each is worth around 560,000 yuan, bringing their total value to more than 34 billion yuan. Victims who register claims are highly likely to recover only their principal plus interest ⚖️

The difference comes down to one word. Under English law, bitcoin is classified as property, so victims can claim ownership of the bitcoins themselves—including the 200-fold increase in value. Chinese law does not recognize bitcoin as property. Judgments involving crypto typically support repayment of the original investment plus interest. Put simply: if you invested 100 yuan and the coins bought with that money rose in value to 20,000 yuan, the law recognizes only your original 100 yuan, plus a little interest. The remaining 19,900 yuan has nothing to do with you.

Lantian Gerui was established in March 2014 and issued 10 wealth-management products promising returns of one to three times the investment. At its peak, it attracted more than 120,000 investors and raised over 40 billion yuan in total. The scheme's operator, Qian Zhimin, also known by the alias “Sister Hua,” used a large portion of the funds to accumulate bitcoin on a certain exchange. Evidence presented in the English court showed that she may have handled as many as 190,000 bitcoins, of which around 120,000 remain unaccounted for 🐋

Repayments collapsed in July 2017. Qian Zhimin fled to the UK using a forged passport. In 2018, she tried to buy a £23.5 million mansion in London with bitcoin, but the deal fell through because she could not explain the source of the funds. In May 2021, UK police seized around 61,000 bitcoins, then worth more than £3 billion—the largest cryptocurrency seizure in law-enforcement history. In November 2025, she was sentenced in London to 11 years and eight months in prison. Accomplices in China had already been sentenced. Across two rounds of compensation, victims have recovered only around 13% of their principal.

What’s even more chilling is that the UK has an asset-recovery incentive scheme called ARIS. If recovered criminal assets have no lawful claimant, 50% goes to the UK Treasury. If victims recover only their principal under Chinese law, the 200-fold increase may have no lawful claimant—and is quite likely to flow into the UK’s coffers. The coins bought with victims’ hard-earned money rose 200-fold, but the gains may end up in another country’s treasury 📈

The ruling is not yet final. The court said the evidence still requires further examination, and the parties may appeal. The 61,000 bitcoins are sitting in a custodial account, fluctuating in value—and continuing to appreciate—every day.

Here’s a point worth remembering: how the property status of crypto assets is determined directly decides whether your coins count as your money. This isn’t a technical issue; it’s a question of jurisdiction. For cross-border crypto, ownership often depends on which country’s court seizes it first, and whether that country’s laws recognize it. The UK High Court ruled that Chinese law applies in the Qian Zhimin case. The implications could affect an entire generation of cross-border crypto holders.

Let’s discuss in the comments: who do you think will ultimately get the 200-fold increase in value? Do the victims have a chance of turning things around on appeal?

#strategy增持250枚比特币
Someone holding 848,250 bitcoins has an average cost of just $75,444 per coin. Their unrealized gains alone amount to $6.6 billion, yet their own company’s stock has fallen 53% over the past year 🦖

💡 群里更新数据解读

That person is Michael Saylor. In his latest Bloomberg interview, he made two predictions: first, Bitcoin is back in a bull market; second, it will break above $100,000 again. His strategy company will keep buying—and won’t stop.

First, the hard numbers: as of October 11, his company held a total of 848,250 bitcoins. At the current price of $83,400, they’re worth about $70.6 billion. The total cost of this Bitcoin stash was around $64 billion, or just $75,444 per coin on average. This holding already exceeds 4% of Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins.

Now, this week’s activity: from October 5 to 11, he spent another $21.5 million to buy 250 bitcoins at an average price of $86,194. The money came mainly from selling his own MSTR shares. Last week, he sold 125,183 shares, raising about $21 million. He still has $18.8 billion worth of stock available to sell, and also spent $192.4 million to repurchase 1,932,145 STRC preferred shares.

The real point of interest is the contrast: the company has been piling up Bitcoin and is sitting on $6.6 billion in unrealized gains, while MSTR stock fell 7% last week, closing Friday at $154.34. It’s down 53% over the past year. The Bitcoin stash profits from having the patience to hold when others don’t dare; the stock losses, meanwhile, test the patience of his own investors. That gap is the signal worth watching next ⚠️

My take: his $100,000 call implies about 20% upside from the current price of $83,400. For someone whose cost basis is only $75,444, it feels more like an effort to boost market confidence. If Bitcoin really gets back above $100,000, the numbers on his 848,250 coins will look very different. On the other hand, if it falls below the $75,444 cost basis, that’s when everyone will have to recalculate 📈

Do you think Saylor will be right about $100,000 this time, or is this another emotional call? Let’s talk in the comments 👀
