Bitcoin is looking particularly interesting here as it challenges key resistance at $80k. If it breaks it will confirm a double bottom targeting $100k. Source: Fidelity The double bottom patterns are bullish reversal formations, and their breakout rallies tend to coincide with the depth of the W-trough. In this case, it would translate to 24% upside potential above $82K, translating to the $102K price target. So, Fidelity’s mid-term $100K outlook was spot on, purely based on price technical analysis. Interestingly, the $82K was a crucial on-chain level. It doubled as the average cost basis of U.S. Spot $BTC ETFs. For…

Multiplying each position’s tracked dollar value by its displayed extra reward rate implies approximately $1.994 million annualized at both endpoints. A richer percentage rate coincided with less tracked protection capital, while that indicative aggregate reward amount barely moved. DefiLlama’s $USDC history records a decline from $58,739,617 to $53,437,993. Its $USDT history shows a fall from $69,783,937 to $62,655,694. Those are reductions of $5.30 million and $7.13 million, respectively, adding to $12,429,867. Both comparisons use the Sept. 17 observation at 23:01 UTC and the Oct. 17 observation at 15:01 UTC, in 2026. The timestamps are slightly less than 30 days apart.…

These developments notably emerged during a period of significant exchange outflows, reflecting contrasting signals around Ethereum’s institutional activity. $ETH exchange outflows approach fourth consecutive week Here, it’s worth noting that Ethereum’s spot exchange flows recorded three consecutive weeks of net outflows, extending a sustained withdrawal trend. In particular, the recent weekly reading approached -$1.5 billion, hinting at significant withdrawals from trading platforms. In case netflows remain negative through the weekly close on 19th October, Ethereum will complete its fourth consecutive week of outflows. These sustained withdrawals have reduced exchange-side supply, potentially limiting the amount of $ETH readily available for selling.…

Nowhere does the rule mention bitcoin, and it doesn’t need to. Is Strategy out? Not yet, but the fine print of key importance is that the consultation document ran a simulation on May 2026 data that flagged Strategy, Metaplanet and the uranium holder Yellow Cake for deletion from the MSCI ACWI Investable Market Index. The final list of affected constituents lands on Nov. 11, and the new rules apply after the close on Nov. 30. There is also a buffer, as existing index members generally have to fail the screen in two consecutive annual assessments before they are removed. Ethereum…

The court’s October 15 order declined to reopen the judgment. Judge Hellerstein found that the parties had not satisfied the standards for post-judgment relief. The CFTC’s revised policy position did not require vacatur, and Gemini had litigated the matter for more than three years before voluntarily settling shortly before trial. The $5 million penalty had already been paid, but the permanent injunction also remains in place. The decision has significance beyond Gemini. A change in an agency’s leadership or enforcement priorities does not automatically unwind a final judicial order. Companies considering settlements should therefore assess the enduring consequences of injunctive…

Crypto lending vaults have attracted more than $10 billion in deposits, as investors seek returns on their digital assets, according to the Financial Times. Deposits have risen from $4 billion at the start of last year, highlighting growing demand for strategies that put stablecoins and other tokens to work. Vaults operate through smart contracts on decentralized finance platforms. Each has a “curator”, effectively an investment manager, who selects lending strategies, sets risk limits and collects fees. Returns typically range from 3% to 10%, although riskier strategies can generate as much as 20% or more. The appeal comes with considerable risks.…

What the Data Shows Currently, the crypto market is witnessing a lack of significant trading volume, with Ethereum’s trading activity appearing minimal. This lack of engagement can be partly attributed to traders digesting the implications of major players like Sun moving away from significant cryptocurrency positions. Overall, the market remains cautious, with many investors evaluating their next steps in light of these shifts. Ethereum is a leading smart contract platform that facilitates decentralized applications and financial transactions. Regulatory bodies have heightened scrutiny over major cryptocurrencies, which affects how investors like Sun operate within the market. Sun’s actions in this context…
