The cancellation has different consequences for the positions behind different bots. OKX says it will sell positions in Grid and Smart Portfolio bots. Positions managed by DCA, Recurring Buy and TWAP/Iceberg bots will be held after migration, although those bots will still close. An automatic sale may incur trading fees or slippage and produce a realized gain or loss; the outcome depends on a user’s holdings and execution. The migration concerns selected USD trading pairs, not every dollar market on the exchange. USDT-USD is exempt. OKX US says account balances, deposits and withdrawals are unaffected. The announced sales concern the…

A better net figure can result from shrinking positions on both sides when shorts fall faster. In this snapshot, aggregate futures long exposure did not expand. The individual products did not move uniformly. Standard CME futures accounted for 4,310 $BTC-equivalent of the reduction in reported shorts, while their leveraged-fund longs increased 1,175 $BTC-equivalent. Longs fell in CME micro futures and both Coinbase products, more than offsetting that increase. The standard-CME move reversed the widening of net shorts in the Sept. 22 snapshot. That earlier report covered standard CME alone; the latest totals include all four products. Asset managers’ net long…

The coin is currently sitting on the blue average, which is near $2,505. It remains below the cyan average at around $2,555 and the green average near $2,600. The strongest support level lies lower: the orange average sits near $2,340, while the black long-term line is near $2,298. The whale’s liquidation thresholds sit precisely at that black line. Pressure on $ETH rises If $ETH falls to that point, the position could be forced to close, leading to increased selling and a quicker price drop. This week, the selling pressure was unmistakably strong. During the drop, volume increased and the RSI…

The figures are estimates, not an audited measure of money entering the market. Crypto transaction statistics can include assets moving repeatedly between wallets, exchanges and counterparties. The IMF’s assessment places Ghana fifth among crypto markets in sub-Saharan Africa based on the data it reviewed. Ghana’s $21B crypto market is leaning on stablecoins Stablecoins are one of the fastest-growing parts of Ghana’s digital-asset market, according to the IMF report. Trading remains a major use, while some users hold dollar-linked tokens as protection against inflation and currency fluctuations. Cross-border settlement is gaining ground in Ghana’s informal and semi-formal business economy. Retail remittance…

Digital Dollar Services Bring New Oversight Proposals The reporting expansion follows NCUA’s work under the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, the federal payment stablecoin law. On May 15, the agency proposed operational and risk management standards for licensed issuers. Chairman Kyle Hauptman emphasized alignment with proposed standards for bank subsidiaries. Commercial partnerships are creating potential routes for smaller institutions to offer digital dollar services alongside these regulatory initiatives. A Sept. 10 agreement between crypto exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) and payments infrastructure provider Moov would connect Coinbase’s stablecoin infrastructure with Moov’s payment platform, whose customer base…

“This brings the basis trade onto a single platform,” Ondo Perps said. The launch covers NVIDIA ($NVDAon), Tesla (TSLAon), Alphabet (GOOGLon), Micron (MUon), Circle (CRCLon), SpaceX (SPCXon) and Sandisk (SNDKon). The other tokens are $SPYon, QQQon, gold-linked GLDon, silver-linked SLVon and Roundhill Memory ETF’s DRAMon.

One Holding, Two Roles Under the workflow, a trader could buy $NVDAon, allocate it as collateral and short the NVIDIA perpetual contract. The token holding supplies both the long exposure that offsets the short…

The employment backdrop weakened as U.S. employers added 29,000 jobs in September and unemployment reached 4.2%, according to the September employment figures released Oct. 2 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. July and August gains were revised down by a combined 60,000. Mena argued that softer hiring gives the Federal Reserve room to hold rates into 2027, describing a weekly decline of more than 35% in hike odds. Separately, derivatives exchange CME Group’s FedWatch rate probabilities reflect prices of contracts tied to future interest rates; they represent traders’ expectations. Fund Buying Supports the Recovery as Rate Risks Remain Alongside the…

US government bond yields climbed sharply before easing on Thursday. The 10-year Treasury yield reached a 24-year high of 5.35%, while the 30-year yield rose above 5.70%. Higher yields increase the appeal of interest-bearing assets and can reduce appetite for riskier investments such as cryptocurrencies. Yields subsequently eased to 5.23% and 5.60%, after President Donald Trump said the US would not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s September meeting minutes, released Wednesday, showed that officials expected another interest-rate increase before year-end without specifying its timing. Furthermore, US spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $160.7 million and…

Legally, OpenWorld became a subsidiary of VerifyMe. For financial reporting purposes, however, SEC filings describe the transaction as a reverse acquisition, with OpenWorld treated as the accounting acquirer. That distinction changes how the deal should be read. OpenWorld has effectively gained control of an existing public-company structure while bringing its real-world asset tokenization, stablecoin infrastructure and capital-markets operations into the listed entity. But one part of its original public-market strategy did not make it through the shareholder vote: the proposed corporate mechanism for creating dedicated blockchain common stock. SEC Filings Show Why OpenWorld Is the Real Acquirer The legal structure…

Crucially, the Solana debut doesn’t mean $SHIB is leaving Ethereum. The original form of $SHIB is an ERC-20 token. Nor does it mean Shibarium is moving to Solana. Sunrise is simply bringing in the canonical Solana representation of the asset to be able to trade within Solana’s markets. Wormhole Labs-powered Sunrise is an asset gateway designed to bring assets from external ecosystems to Solana. This includes the creation/recognition of a canonical Solana token, provisioning liquidity, and integration with wallets, DEXs, and aggregators. That’s important to note because otherwise multiple unofficial versions of the same cryptocurrency can exist on a blockchain.…
