The median return for the fourth quarter has decreased to 0.36% compared to the historic average return of 16.97%. Therefore, sustaining the recovery will depend on whether strong Q3 momentum can carry into the new quarter. Whales increase $ETH exposure Ethereum’s strong Q3 performance has attracted the attention of whales. Large holders appear to be adjusting their positioning ahead of further price increases for Ethereum. As a result of this, a wallet associated with Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin transferred 133,298 $ETH, valued…

How the oil offer could affect Bitcoin A supply announcement can change expectations before physical oil arrives. If the DOE offer changes oil-price expectations, the possible path to Bitcoin runs through inflation expectations, bond yields and the outlook for Federal Reserve rates. The available figures do not show that this particular announcement has already moved any of those markets or Bitcoin. The inflation and rate backdrop predates the offer. In its August 26 release, BEA put July headline PCE inflation at 3.7% year over year and core inflation, excluding food and energy, at 3.3%. BEA has scheduled an annual update…

Data from SoSoValue shows that the fund closed its first session without any net inflows. Total trading volume did not exceed $16,700, while net assets under management settled at $50.38 million. The contrast with previous debuts of similar products in the U.S. market is evident, though that does not necessarily define the vehicle’s long-term trajectory. The fund supports both cash creation and redemption as well as in-kind transactions, and charges a management fee of 1.10%. This last detail could weigh on early adoption: cost-sensitive investors can find in the crypto market options with lower fee structures. $TRX Fails to Draw…

Blockchains can be and are being used to improve this system. Tokens trade continuously 24/7, settle faster and increase distribution. Yet, unless the tokens themselves are the assets they’re supposed to represent, then they’re just creating a countless amount of digital wrappers around the actually important paper certificates. Wall Street has already lived through a version of this story, in the Paperwork Crisis. In the late 1960s, an unexpected surge of trading volume overwhelmed the manual, paper-based system used to process and clear stock transactions, causing back offices to fall catastrophically behind. For half a year, the NYSE was forced…

The Numbers Currently, Sui’s trading volume remains unreported, reflecting thin market activity as this new compliance initiative unfolds. However, the integration with Scorechain could signal a shift in market dynamics, encouraging more substantial trading volumes as institutions become more comfortable engaging with Sui’s blockchain.

Sui is a blockchain platform designed to facilitate efficient and secure transactions, focusing on an object-centric model. Scorechain, known for its compliance solutions, monitors cryptocurrency transactions to ensure adherence to regulatory standards, making it a valuable partner for…

Summer of redemptions that put Bitcoin ETFs in the red Damage was done earlier on. The period in June 2026 saw an estimated $4.5 billion in redemptions. Even May was already seeing losses, and in combination, the two months made up for the accumulated loss from which August and September have seen gradual erosion. The same thing under the headline Bitcoin ETFs still $1 billion away from breaking even in 2026, but this particular piece was not accessible via a bot verification screen at the time of writing. This is the narrative of a fund line that sells itself on…

Prysm 7.2.0 and Teku 26.9.1 both support Glamsterdam but will continue using a 60 million gas preference after activation unless validators explicitly change their settings, according to the Ethereum Foundation. Prysm operators must use version 2 proposer settings or the keymanager API, while Teku validators can override the default through their validator configuration. The distinction turns Sepolia into a coordination test for Ethereum’s effort to substantially expand Layer 1 capacity. A higher block gas limit allows more aggregate computation to fit into each block, creating room for more transactions and high-demand applications such as decentralized exchanges and other DeFi protocols.…

That’s where Abrams sees an opening. Open USD, he said, is designed for banking, cross-border payments, card settlement, institutional trading and lending, with an economic model built to reward the companies that drive supply and activity. “When are stablecoins successful? It’s when they recede into the background and just become a core part of your mom’s bank account,” Abrams said. From 140 partners to five founders Open Standard first emerged in June with more than 140 partners across payments, banking, crypto and technology, including BlackRock, BNY and Standard Chartered. The initial announcement rattled competitor Circle CRCL$82.97 as the market worried…

Chainlink added 91,100 $LINK worth about $1.06 million this week, lifting its strategic reserve to 5.86 million $LINK valued near $67.24 million. Payment Abstraction automatically converts enterprise and onchain service revenue into $LINK, helping the reserve add 511,000 $LINK worth roughly $5.52 million over 30 days. $LINK traded near $11.45 after a volatile week, while recurring reserve deposits continued and institutional buyer Caliber maintained a separate $6.5 million $LINK position. Chainlink added another 91,100 $LINK, worth roughly $1.06 million, to its strategic reserve on September 10, extending an accumulation program that has been running since August 2025. The latest deposit…

Purpose of the tracker At its core, the tracker exists to manage complexity. The UK’s crypto regulatory regime is shaping up to be comprehensive, covering multiple types of activity and obligation, and Zumo built the tracker specifically to help firms handle that scale without getting lost in legal paperwork or generic compliance checklists. Founder’s perspective on market differentiation Nick Jones, founder and CEO of Zumo, drew a clear line between his company’s approach and what is already on the market. “Everyone else publishing a UK regime tracker is a law firm or a consultancy,” Jones said. “That work is valuable,…
