👀👀👀Polymarket CEO teasing the Polymarket token? No f*cking way. $POLY https://t.co/bBlpk12Vgy — Andy (@andyyy) October 4, 2026 One user suggested it could be called “POLY,” while others joked there might be “a Polymarket token before GTA 6?!” Finance blogger ZeroHedge claimed, “Time for a crypto token that actually transcends crypto and goes mainstream.” Balaji Srinivasan booked for Token2049 This year’s Token2049 will take place in Singapore on October 7 and October 8. There are normally two Token2049 events a year, but an earlier event scheduled to take place in Dubai in April was cancelled and pushed back a year due…

Dinari CEO Gabe Otte told Cointelegraph that no specific Korean-listed companies have been selected for the proof of concept and that it has not set a public timeline for commercial availability. The proposed model would use locally listed Korean shares as the underlying assets rather than tokens that simply track their prices, he said. Kakaopay’s agreement with Ondo will initially focus on establishing a framework for sourcing and custodying Korean-listed shares that could later be tokenized. Kakaopay would operate a foreign investor omnibus account to hold and administer the underlying shares. Ondo and Kakaopay will also research token issuance and…

2026 yearly open becomes Bitcoin’s next resistance hurdle Bitcoin continues to battle range highs after sealing its highest weekly close since late January at $86,532 on Bitstamp. Data from TradingView shows brief wicks to $87,000 after the weekly close, as part of Bitcoin’s fourth attempt to break higher since Sept. 21. Bulls have so far failed to reclaim the yearly open at $87,570. $BTC/USD one-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView On lower time frames, liquidity hunts continue to dictate price action. Similar to last week, $BTC/USD saw liquidations of nearby short positions around $85,500, while walls of bids and asks thickened around…

The Numbers As of now, $AAVE’s trading volume is absent, indicating thin market flow, which often leads to increased volatility and uncertainty. Despite this, the interest in projects that facilitate tokenization remains strong, suggesting potential future engagement from both retail and institutional investors. The broader crypto market’s conditions may influence $AAVE’s adoption and performance in the near term. $AAVE is a prominent decentralized finance platform that allows users to lend and borrow cryptocurrencies in a decentralized manner. The focus on tokenization aligns with broader industry trends where traditional assets are increasingly being represented on blockchain networks, enhancing liquidity and accessibility.…

The small increase in dollar sales came alongside much larger declines in participating addresses. Based on the dashboard totals, the average recorded transaction value was about $51.22. Separately, CoinGecko listed Bitcoin near $82,768 and Ethereum around $2,494 on Oct. 10, with total cryptocurrency market capitalization at approximately $2.89 trillion.

Its separately tracked wash-trading volume reached $1.15 million, up 12.45%, bringing combined…

Lloyds said moving assets and payments onto digital infrastructure could also free up capital and liquidity tied up in financial transactions, allowing institutions to deploy those resources elsewhere. “The next phase is about turning those individual use cases into infrastructure that works at scale, with the interoperability and common standards needed to connect digital and traditional markets,” said Rob Hale, co-head of global markets at Lloyds. Lloyds has also tested the technology directly. Earlier this year, the bank worked with Archax and Canton Network on what it described as the UK’s first public blockchain transaction using tokenized deposits to purchase…

Crypto trades around the clock, every day of the year. This has put pressure on the U.S. stock market, which still trades around a weekday session, even as brokerages and alternative trading systems have expanded equity trading well beyond the traditional 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. window. Both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have filed to expand their trading hours, while Robinhood launched its 24 Hour Market in 2023. That service still stops on weekends. Robinhood now plans to fill that gap by offering a selection of stocks and ETFs on Saturdays and Sundays through Bruce ATS, an…

Bitcoin’s horizontal resistance level is around $86,984. The previous intraday wicks tend to go up to around the $87,200-$87,300 level. Bitcoin is trading at $85,468 at the moment, according to CoinGecko. Notably, this test of the resistance level comes just days after Bitcoin broke above the $87,000 level after some surprisingly poor U.S. employment figures. U.S. jobs only grew by 29,000 for the month of September. The unemployment rate also climbed to 4.2%. Bitcoin managed to hold on to the gains just under the $87,000 level after the news. The importance of the level The bulls have failed several times…

Citrini recently identified Pendle as a significant second-order RWA trade in response to Wall Street’s increasing focus on onchain transactions. This recognition could enhance Pendle’s profile in the rapidly evolving financial landscape. The implications of this could lead to greater institutional engagement and a shift in how tokenized assets are viewed in the market. For further details, see Citrini’s tweet here. The Key Development The broader crypto market is currently experiencing mixed signals, with various assets showing differing momentum. Pendle’s recent designation by Citrini as a ‘second-order RWA trade’ marks a pivotal moment as it aligns with Wall Street’s shift…

Inside the New Headquarters and Event Highlights The venue’s scale is hard to overstate. JPMorgan’s new headquarters spans over 12 million square feet, and its modern design reportedly gave the symposium an “inspiring backdrop” for the conversations happening inside. That detail matters beyond aesthetics — it signals that the bank is willing to put its most visible physical asset behind a crypto-related gathering, rather than hosting it somewhere lower-profile. Attendees included influential figures drawn from both the crypto world and traditional finance, a pairing that itself reflects how much those two worlds have started to overlap. For a bank the…
