Why This Isn’t Quite “Altcoin Season” Yet Even though some altcoins are performing really well right now, the analyst says it’s too early to call this a full-blown altcoin season. He’s watching something called Bitcoin dominance, basically how much of the total crypto market Bitcoin takes up compared to altcoins.

He said authorities can more easily monitor regulated stablecoin transactions than trades made through decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms or self-hosted wallets. Another amendment backed by the finance committee on Oct. 9 would require French taxpayers to declare self-hosted crypto wallets holding at least €100,000 ($116,000 approximately) in assets,…

Results from a fixed historical replay Coinbase compared Opus 4.5 with Opus 5, Sonnet 4.6 with Sonnet 5, and GPT-5.4 with GPT-5.6 (sol). Every newer version had lower recall, a lower combined precision-and-recall score called F1, and lower dollar-weighted recall.

Both newer models also had lower precision, meaning a smaller share of transactions they classified as fraud were actually fraudulent.…

So far, these factors have temporarily outweighed the rate differential, allowing the yen to strengthen and USD/JPY to decline. Why Is Bitcoin Holding Up Despite FX and Carry-Trade Risks? Despite…
