France is advancing a proposal on reporting crypto held in self-custody wallets. The topic has already sparked nearly 400 discussions on Square.
For users who hold coins outside exchanges, this could change the rules of the game: reporting requirements are increasingly affecting not only exchanges but also private wallets.
What do you think of this kind of regulation: transparency or pressure on privacy?

Strive bought another 3,311 BTC for $280M, about $84.6K per coin. Earlier this week, the company had already bought 2,000 BTC at ~$84.4K.
While spot ETFs are losing money, corporate treasuries continue to accumulate on dips.
Who will be right: the funds exiting, or the companies entering?

While ETFs are pulling money out of ETH, one large wallet is doing the opposite: it sold 1,074 BTC and bought 35,346 ETH over three days at ~$2,529 (≈$89M).
One whale isn’t the entire market, and ETF outflows don’t always mean equivalent spot selling. But this is an interesting contrast to today’s prevailing sentiment.
An early move into ETH or a bet against the crowd?

$ETH has fallen below $2,500 again and is trading near $2,498, just hours before the CPI report (15:30 Kyiv time).
The pressure is coming from outflows from spot ETH ETFs: $542M in the week through October 9. Earlier this week, ETH touched the $2,406–2,441 zone, while long liquidations reached hundreds of millions.
Levels the analysts are watching: support at $2,400–2,450, resistance at $2,543–2,580. A daily close below $2,338 would open the way to $2,200.
Buy near $2,400, or wait for the CPI first?

At the end of last week, U.S. ETH ETFs recorded 10 consecutive days of outflows. Earlier, according to one report, outflows reached ~$565M in just seven sessions.
For $ETH , this is the main argument against a quick recovery: institutional demand is weak, and today’s CPI could add volatility.
Will the outflow streak end or continue?

At the end of last week, $BTC 's share of the total market capitalization returned to 60%. The topic garnered 97K+ views and over 1,100 discussions.
When Bitcoin dominance rises, altcoins usually lag, and altseason gets pushed back. Liquidity thins ahead of important data releases, so altcoin moves can be sharper.
Is this a long-term trend or a temporary rotation?

Today at 8:30 a.m. ET (3:30 p.m. Kyiv time), the September CPI inflation report will be released. The #CPIWatch topic has garnered over 88 million views on Square.
In August, inflation was 3.4% year over year, and one survey puts the consensus for September at around 3.7%. On October 8, Fed Governor Waller warned that persistent inflation could become entrenched in expectations. The next Fed meeting is October 27–28.
Hotter-than-expected data will fuel talk of a rate hike, while cooler data will give risk assets some breathing room.
How do you trade CPI: before or after the release?

Tuesday evening
The market has calmed down a bit after the day's swings.
$BTC is holding the $83k zone; altcoins are still under pressure.
Tomorrow could be more active — it's worth watching how the market reacts to the news.

SOL-5.27%

A simple thought after a volatile day
When the price jumps back and forth over a few hours, it’s best not to react emotionally.
Many people got caught in liquidations today because they rushed.
Sometimes the best trade is simply to wait it out.
$BTC $ETH

CPI is tomorrow—and things are already getting interesting
The market is in wait-and-see mode.
Today's fluctuations look like preparation for the macro data.
Some are already positioning themselves, while others are simply waiting. Both approaches make sense.

Altcoins are weaker than Bitcoin today
$ETH and $SOL have fallen harder, while $XRP is also under pressure.
A classic market split: Bitcoin is holding up better, while the rest are taking bigger losses.
A little caution wouldn’t hurt on days like these.

$BTC today like on a swing
There was a drop below $81k, then a quick recovery to $83k+.
Volatility returned, liquidations were noticeable.
For now buyers are holding the situation, but the market is clearly nervous.

SK Hynix shares fell 7.1%. It’s one of the topics of the day on Square (430+ discussions).
AI memory had been lifting the tech sector after Micron’s strong report, so the sharp drop in one of the segment’s leaders raises the question of whether the trend is cooling.

$ETH dipped back to $2,406 and recovered to ~$2,500. It’s weaker than $BTC : daily ETH liquidations reached ~$356M versus $298M for Bitcoin.
Additional pressure: according to one report, spot ETH ETFs lost ~$565M over seven consecutive sessions, while ETH reserves on exchanges are rising.
Zones buyers are defending: $2,500–2,520, followed by resistance at $2,548–2,570. A break below $2,400 would weaken the outlook.
Is this a bounce or the start of a reversal?

Strategy bought 250 BTC. That’s noticeably less than the pace at which the company was building its reserve before.
Institutional demand hasn’t disappeared, but it’s becoming more selective: Strive, for example, recently bought 2,000 BTC at ~$84.4K.
Is this a pause before another move, or the new normal?

Evernorth debuted on Nasdaq under the ticker $XRPN and closed its first trading day down 1.05%. It has already racked up 55K+ views on Square.
For a story the market had been discussing for weeks (a treasury of ~473 million XRP and over $1B in investments raised), this is a subdued start.
Next, we’ll watch how the stock trades relative to the value of the XRP on the company’s balance sheet.
Is this a disappointment, or just day one?
