Onchain cost basis provides a test for buyers CryptoQuant places Ethereum’s realized price—an estimate of the market’s average onchain acquisition cost—at $2,310. The level has historically provided support during downturns, and $ETH has rebounded near it several times over the past three days. A sustained decline beneath realized price could increase pressure on holders as the market moves below its aggregate onchain cost basis. However, the indicator does not guarantee either buying support or accelerated selling. Nearby, the $2,328 average cost basis of wallets holding 1,000–10,000 $ETH adds another reference point. This cohort increased its holdings by 40,000 $ETH over…

Unfortunately, customers have started handing their passwords and other login credentials to AI. Even though most banks forbid this, investors were nonetheless spooked by bots attempting to initiate real cash transfers. Axios also reported that some agents appeared to act without a matching customer instruction, including enterprising agents who tried to contact banking call centers. Banks warn about relinquishing account access to AI Although stock prices recovered some of the early losses by close of trading yesterday, losses lingered. Morgan Stanley opened down 1.9% and remained down 1.6% by the end of the business day. Citi gapped down 1.3% and…

The numbers pack a punch. Cumulative protocol revenue, according to the research and advisory firm Castle Labs, exceeded $1.4 billion, with approximately 97% to 99% of eligible net fees historically supporting token purchases. Roughly 48 million $HYPE have been associated with the fund, while reserve yields provide another source of purchasing power. Source: Castle Labs. $HYPE’s 24-hour trading volume recently ranged between $4.6 billion and $7.3 billion, while 30-day volume approached $200 billion to $209 billion. Coinglass.com logs show $11 billion in cumulative open interest on Hyperliquid over the last day. That leaves Hyperliquid sitting pretty atop the decentralized perpetual…

Source: FedWatch But from a macro perspective, this may be more than just random market noise. According to the data from FedWatch, the odds of a rate hike have climbed over 10% and are up from 5.5% only a day ago. With the U.S. inflation at 3.7% in September, a rate hike possibility may become less of a far-fetched idea, especially as the market expectations change. If the odds climb further, Bitcoin might see another macro headwind heading into November. Naturally, that brings the focus to the bigger question: Is Bitcoin heading toward another November sell-off like 2025, or could…

TL;DR: Ethereum Foundation researchers are examining native transaction assertions that could make transaction safety depend on the final state as well as the signed instructions. The official source also identifies specific limits or future steps, so implementation and market impact should not be assumed. Ethereum Foundation researchers are examining native transaction assertions that could make transaction safety depend on the final state as well as the signed instructions. For digital-asset markets, the important issue is less the announcement in isolation than the channel through which it could affect users, capital or network activity. The latest development deserves attention, but its…

Lower yields mean higher bond prices, reflecting Treasury buying while the Fed’s policy range sits at 3.75% to 4%. The Oct. 22 selloff fits a scenario where funding sends investors into bonds and out of riskier holdings. Bitcoin traded with equities, and even gold fell, as the dollar index slipped to its lowest since Oct. 1, with gold’s two usual supports pointing higher. The Gold Council flagged the competition The World Gold Council’s Oct. 19 Weekly Markets Monitor, “Bonds back in the room,” observed Treasuries rallying during the Nasdaq decline despite hot inflation. It raised the possibility that renewed safe-haven…
