“Cryptocurrency investment products recorded their highest weekly inflows of the year last week, totaling $3.55 billion globally, after two weeks of sideways trading.” Bitcoin ($BTC) Topped the Charts! Looking at crypto funds individually, inflows are concentrated in Bitcoin. $BTC experienced inflows of $2.52 billion, while the largest altcoin, Ethereum, saw inflows of $702 million. Looking at other altcoins, XRP saw inflows of $92.3 million, while Solana experienced inflows of $193 million.

Governance contributor Kuzmich proposed the budget link on Oct. 7. In an Oct. 9 response, Jenya_K supported considering it in the 2027 grant request, but said the amount must come from bottom-up planning. Kuzmich’s Oct. 11 follow-up corrected the treatment of staking rebates and tested profits without assumed treasury income. What the counter measures Under Lido’s implemented specification, NEST compares measured staking revenue with a daily baseline of $109,589, approximately $40 million a year. Half the difference feeds a running spending counter. Revenue below the baseline subtracts from that counter, and stronger revenue must repair the shortfall before purchases can…

Institutions could eventually interact with those products without touching the memecoin market that helped create the activity. The causal bridge from meme trading to deeper lending liquidity or institutional use remains hypothetical, but moves such as Pump.fun’s Custom Pairs makes that potential connection timely enough to test. From a memecoin trade to tokenized-asset inventory Tokenization turns exposure to an equity, exchange-traded fund, or another real-world asset into a transferable blockchain token. Issuance alone doesn’t solve demand, market depth, or collateral utility. In a market where a meme is quoted in a tokenized stock, the stock token becomes the settlement side…

It’s new quarter, but same old bitcoin $BTC$83,941.93 price range. The cryptocurrency is still stuck between $82,000 and $85,000, extending more than a week of choppy, sideways price action. Prices briefly topped $85,000 on Wednesday after weaker-than-expected U.S. inflation cooled bets on Fed rate hikes, But bulls couldn’t hold the move and spot ETFs didn’t help.

Yields also rose across other major bond markets, including Europe and Japan, as investors remained concerned about inflation, higher oil prices and the sustainability of government borrowing. The latest $6 billion operation follows the Treasury’s original announcement that it would at least double its long-duration buybacks from their typical $2 billion size. Yields initially fell after that announcement but later reversed sharply higher. The Treasury is effectively repurchasing longer-dated bonds while continuing to finance itself at the front end of the yield curve. That changes the maturity profile of the government’s debt but does not reduce its overall borrowing needs.…
