Source: CoinGlass Two consecutive negative Octobers could weigh on investor confidence, given that Bitcoin is already down over the month. This is in regard to seasonal rallies and makes it more likely that they will require better confirmation before purchasing. Additionally, a lack of confidence due to lower risk appetite among investors in general could impact altcoins negatively. For Bitcoin to record a sustained recovery, renewed spot demand and improved conviction among buyers need to be realized. Bitcoin whales accumulate as retail selling rises At the same time, while Bitcoin noted difficulty sustaining October’s rally, on-chain data demonstrated a widening…
For Kraken’s depositors, the protection comes at the cost of a lower investment yield. Its published annual percentage yield already accounts for coverage fees set by Firelight and Sentora, which can change monthly. Kraken said it receives none of those fees and neither arranges nor guarantees the payouts. The integration gives Firelight access to a new distribution channel as demand for ways to reduce decentralized finance risk becomes a potential business for holders of cryptocurrency capital. Kraken vault turns protection fees into $XRP-linked income Firelight operates on Flare, where participants supply FXRP, a representation of $XRP created through the network’s…
“Our first major onchain deployment deals were $200M on @ether_fi, and $200M on @LidoFinance, custodied by @Anchorage,” SharpLink wrote. “These investments allow our team to put $ETH to work everyday.” Two Allocations, Different Protocol Scale The allocations are equal in dollar terms but differ substantially against the protocols’ asset bases. DefiLlama listed Lido’s total value locked at about $23.18 billion on Oct. 19, compared with approximately $4.61 billion for ether.fi Stake. Those are protocol-wide benchmarks, rather than measurements of SharpLink’s individual positions. The ether.fi relationship predates the Lido plan. In October 2025, Anchorage said SharpLink planned to deploy $200 million…

For CFD and rolling spot forex advertising, Google recognises licences from the CMA, DFSA and FSRA. In either category, the advertiser must also comply with local law and complete Google’s certification process through its Google Ads account. These are rules for ads targeting the UAE, not just for companies based there. A multi-asset brokerage group therefore needs to check which of its legal entities provides each advertised service. A licence held by one entity, or approval to advertise CFDs, does not automatically cover a crypto campaign run under the same brand. What Changes on 21 October? Licensed crypto exchanges and…
Arcus, launched by dYdX Labs with Robinhood Crypto, combines tokenized stock trading and perpetuals on Robinhood Chain. Tokens Secure a $USDG Loan Previously, Arcus perpetuals required margin in $USDG, the protocol’s settlement stablecoin. Under the new system, traders move eligible holdings into their perpetuals accounts without converting them. Deposited $USDG is used first; any additional margin need automatically creates a $USDG loan secured by the tokens. According to Arcus’s documentation, the loans back cross-margin positions only, where positions share account collateral. Borrowed $USDG cannot be withdrawn or moved to an isolated position, and variable interest accrues while a loan is…

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts to securely interact with real-world data and systems. The jurisdiction over such innovations falls under financial regulators, as the movement of tokenized assets often intersects with compliance and security regulations. This makes…

Borrowers face a contradictory repayment schedule. The notice says all loans must be repaid by Nov. 14, 2026, and operations will cease after that date. But its timeline lists Nov. 19, 2026, at 6:59 p.m. ET as the final deadline for repayments, withdrawals and unstaking.
