Ethereum and XRP also remained steady following bullish daily closes, according to the report. However, the supplied technical analysis focuses on Bitcoin. $BTC continues to trade above its 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $80,769 and its 200-day EMA at $76,090. Holding those levels preserves a constructive backdrop, although buyers still need stronger momentum to sustain an extended rally. Bitcoin’s daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator is approaching a crossover above its signal line. A completed bullish crossover would strengthen the case that downward momentum is fading. For now, the signal remains unconfirmed. The Relative Strength Index stands near 51, slightly…

The announcement followed AI developer Anthropic’s proposal to commit 5% of its shares to a new public benefit fund, subject to shareholder approval. At the firm’s current valuation of around $2 trillion, that would be $100 billion. The company could increase that allocation by another two percentage points for every 50% increase in its valuation above a specified baseline. However, this is at its board’s discretion. Anthropic intends to use the fund for charitable donations, direct distributions to selected populations and initiatives addressing AI-related job displacement. Including existing employee and founder pledges, the company estimates that roughly 20% of its…

By the Numbers The broader cryptocurrency market is currently displaying mixed signals. As regulatory developments unfold, the sentiment among traders reflects a cautious optimism. The SEC’s willingness to extend the comment period suggests an openness to community input, which could foster a more favorable environment for crypto projects seeking funding. While market dynamics remain volatile, this regulatory flexibility may pave the way for innovative fundraising opportunities. The SEC oversees securities regulations in the U.S., tasked with protecting investors and maintaining fair markets. In this context, the agency’s proposal for new fundraising exemptions for crypto issuers aims to clarify the regulatory…

In a post on its verified X account, MEXC said instructions would arrive through registered email and in-app messages. “Your assets remain secure,” it said. MEXC did not identify a specific regulator, sanctions measure or licensing action behind the decision, or disclose the number of affected accounts in its announcement. The exchange’s user agreement, marked last updated Oct. 13, lists Russia and Belarus as prohibited jurisdictions. It says MEXC does not provide services or accept user registrations or trading applications in those countries, and requires users not to be residents of prohibited jurisdictions. MEXC also warned that it would never…

That preserves a route to signing for someone who can recover the secret. The bargain is that keeping the smaller signatures requires additional operational discipline. The recovery test reaches wallets and exchanges The current SHRINCS specification lists a 48-byte public key, stateful signatures between 548 and 4,619 bytes, and a stateless signature of 5,777 bytes. “State” is the changing record of which one-time signing slots a key has already used. SHRINCS’ compact component (XMSS) depends on not reusing those slots. Reusing one for different messages can allow an observer to forge signatures. A backup can recover the long-lived secret without…

Source: Stacy Muur Ethereum layer-2 network Blast is among the most prominent casualties. As Cointelegraph reported, the project announced its shutdown earlier this month, citing no “credible path” to economic viability. The decision marked a sharp reversal for a network that once attracted more than $2 billion in deposits. Other projects have encountered different problems. In February, Step Finance shut down following a major treasury breach, while Radiant Capital announced in June that it would wind down operations after failing to recover from a 2024 exploit. Meanwhile, Coinbase-backed Satori Finance ceased operations after concluding that its revenue could no longer…

Our earlier $GENIUS Act overview introduced the legislation following its passage. Businesses now need to move from understanding the framework to evaluating their operations, counterparties, and implementation deadlines. The first distinction concerns timing. The $GENIUS Act, enacted July 18, 2025, does not give every business the same three-year transition period. Section 20 generally makes the Act effective on the earlier of 18 months after enactment or 120 days after the primary federal payment stablecoin regulators issue final implementing regulations. Treasury has identified January 18, 2027 as the expected effective date. A separate restriction on certain offers and sales begins July…

Founder and CEO Andrew Rogozov previewed conversational AI trading in his September 28 rebrand announcement. Walt’s current trading guide instructs users to select a contract, direction, margin and leverage, then review and open the position. Under the planned integration, users could instead instruct an agent to open or close long and short positions through conversation, the release says. From App Controls to Conversation Beyond placing orders, Walt says the agents would analyze portfolio exposure, leverage and liquidation risk; monitor positions around the clock; and adjust take-profit and stop-loss orders on users’ instructions. They would also support simple rules-based strategies, including…
