The institutional landscape for $BTC also showed progress, with Standard Chartered unveiling a new trading solution for affluent clients, scoring +9, and securing a license to provide crypto trading in the UAE, which scored +7.

Caution persists around $SOL, which scored -6 after reports indicated a significant decrease in treasury funds, though the network is preparing for the Alpenglow mainnet upgrade on October 21, scoring +8.

Several assets faced negative pressure, including the detention report of Hex founder Richard Heart, which scored -8, and the decision by a major exchange to delist Epic Chain and Quick, both scoring -7.

Security concerns also impacted the market, specifically an 86,000 USD hack affecting the UNCX Network, which scored -7, alongside the scheduled closure of the Dogecoin ETF, which scored -6.
