Of the 171.88 million $ENA in question, 93.75 million is allocated to core contributors and 78.13 million to investors as monthly entitlements. CoinGecko similarly displays figures based on this old monthly calendar. However, on August 27, Ethereum changed the schedule for the remaining $ENA tokens allocated to investors, which were originally planned to be released monthly until March 2028. According to the new schedule, the remaining portion of the investor allocation is planned to be released in a single transaction starting October 5th. Since the project team has not disclosed the exact amount to be released in this transaction, platforms…

According to a Bloomberg report, key elements of the reporting framework include clarified parameters determining which individual and corporate crypto asset users fall under mandatory reporting requirements. The framework also provides technical instructions for platforms regarding customer identification numbers, transaction logs, and account balances. Additionally, it references international standard interpretations where specific technical scenarios are not explicitly addressed under national law. EU-Wide Implementation Further provisions exempt entities that have already registered and fulfilled reporting duties in another EU member state from duplicate filings in Lithuania. The updated reporting directives follow regulatory adjustments implemented earlier in the year governing stablecoins and…

The broader picture was equally stubborn. Bitcoin’s price closed near $84,000 on Sept. 26, fell toward $82,550 to $82,600 on Sept. 28, and then steadied around $83,500 to $83,650 into the month-end. An Oct. 1 bounce pushed it back toward the mid-$84,000s before Friday’s failed breakout. After all that commotion, bitcoin was up only about 0.7% across seven days and still remained roughly 30% below its October 2025 peak just above $126,000. A lot of motion. Not much distance. Polymarket Keeps Six Figures on the Table That hasn’t stopped Polymarket traders from wagering heavily on where bitcoin goes next. Its…

On the 4-hour TradingView chart, $ETH stood at $2,493.31 after falling 0.53% during the displayed period. Its recovery from the recent low had stalled near $2,500, while the latest candles remained below the chart’s falling moving average. Analyst Ella identified $2,500 as the first level buyers need to reclaim in an Oct. 9 post. She described Ethereum’s move from approximately $2,700 to a wick near $2,400 as a decline of close to 11%, with selling accelerating toward the end. Ella said a recovery above $2,500 could ease some of the panic, while failure to regain that level would leave the…

By the Numbers The current state of the tokenization market reveals a robust growth trajectory, with Binance projecting substantial market expansion over the coming years. Despite the impressive growth figures, the current volume of tokenized equities remains negligible compared to the vast equity market. As traders and investors increasingly turn their attention to tokenization, its potential to reshape market dynamics becomes more pronounced. Tokenization refers to the process of converting rights to an asset into a digital token on a blockchain. This process enhances access, liquidity, and efficiency in equity markets, making it easier for investors to participate. Binance, as…

By the Numbers The crypto market’s overall performance remains mixed, but Chainlink’s substantial migration may attract further attention to its capabilities. As institutions look to leverage efficient cross-chain solutions, Chainlink’s role becomes more significant. This could lead to increased trading volumes and heightened interest in its offerings in the coming weeks. Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts on various blockchains to connect with real-world data. Its CCIP allows for seamless integration of tokenized assets across different networks, which is crucial for enhancing the functionality of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. The recent upgrade is a strategic move…

Myriad: Where does Ethereum go next? Click to make your prediction. The committee’s amendments do not carry over to that text, so their backers would have to table them again for the floor debate that begins Oct. 13. Neither measure is law, and both still have to get through the rest of the legislative process. The stablecoin amendment, filed by Nicolas Sansu of the left-wing GDR group and 16 co-signers, goes after what the authors call “a hole in the legislation.” Today, swapping Bitcoin for a stablecoin triggers no tax in France, because the state only collects when gains are…

From Simple Bot to Full-Scale Crypto Platform According to Rogozov’s letter, the tool launched five years ago as “a simple wallet bot that made it easy to buy Toncoin and Bitcoin for Telegram users.” Since then, it has expanded into what he calls a full-scale crypto platform, giving millions of people access to hundreds of assets, multi-chain trading, earn products, tokenized stocks, and gold. That growth is the reason behind the shift: the product outgrew its original name, so it now carries the Walt brand, along with a new logo and updated social handles. Introduction of Telegram’s Gram Wallet The…

2016 Wallets Rule the Roost Wallets created in 2016 ruled the roost last month, moving 1,556.53 $BTC, followed by 2013 wallets, which shifted roughly 888.91 $BTC. The larger sum changed hands across 13 transactions, while the 888.91 $BTC was dispersed through 26 separate transfers. September also delivered something special, as 14 transfers from wallets created in 2010 moved 600 $BTC that had once been exceptionally old block rewards. Decade-Old Coins Return to the Move The average spend was 57.65 $BTC but the most typical transfer was around 25 $BTC, because a few huge spends pulled the average up. Data shows…

The whale was not alone as more than $1.19 billion in crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with $1.05 billion of that coming from longs. $ETH liquidations reached $350 million, more than bitcoin’s $304 million. Bitcoin.com News tracked the same flush as the bitcoin price dropped below $81,000. Thirty Minutes Later While most traders who get liquidated step back, this whale was unfazed and quickly reloaded. To elaborate, about 30 minutes after the forced sale, the whale deposited 10 million USDC in fresh margin and reopened a long of 9,580 $ETH, worth $23.26 million, at $2,428. That was only…
