On-chain analytics platform BubbleMaps has flagged crypto KOL Anglio, who has around 200,000 followers, for alleged insider trading and dumping via linked wallets, accumulating approximately $130,000 in profits. Data shows that among the 534 token recommendations Anglio posted over the past two weeks, five affiliated wallets bought in advance ahead of 61% of these recommendations being published, and dumped just minutes later. His typical operating pattern is as follows: the five side wallets purchase tokens an average of 20 seconds before a recommendation is posted, followed by his public wallet (2ksQ77) stepping in. Once he publicly shares the token pick and prices reach their peak, the side wallets begin liquidating an average of four minutes later, with the public wallet finalizing the sell-off.

Odaily News: Pump.fun co-founder Alon posted on the X platform to announce the latest adjustments to the Callout Rewards algorithm, stating that the new mechanism will introduce a Tailer PNL multiplier. The more profit copiers make, the higher the rewards recommenders receive, while losses will negatively impact rewards. Low-market-cap tokens will be reintroduced into the reward scope, but it must be ensured that copiers have real profit opportunities.Additionally, trading volume will no longer be the sole basis for reward attribution, and the behavior of posting an abnormally large number of trade recommendations daily will be penalized. The Callouts page of the Pump.fun App has added 1-hour and 4-hour PNL metrics for copiers to improve transparency and identify traders who may cause copiers to suffer severe losses shortly after posting callouts. In the future, the Callout Rewards algorithm will continue to be adjusted, and more information about the reward mechanism will be announced subsequently.
on October 14, Tempo announced that payroll platform Deel has become the first customer to use its Zones privacy system in a production environment, with contractor balances and payment histories no longer publicly visible. Funds deposited into a Zone by Deel's treasury department remain visible on the public network, but contractors' recipients, payment amounts, and asset holdings remain private; contractors can view their own balances, while Deel retains access for reconciliation and auditing purposes.Each Zone maintains a private ledger and connects to the Tempo public network through a portal that holds endorsed assets. Deposits and withdrawals still leave records on the public network, including token amounts and public network addresses. Operators can read the private ledger, restrict participants and supported assets, and enforce token issuers' transfer policies. This integration adds privacy features to Deel's existing wallet, which was opened to eligible contractors in over 80 countries in August; embedded wallet service provider Privy supports Zones through its API.

Odaily News: The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has released a report on "debanking," stating that some banks have used public and non-public policies to restrict financial services for multiple industries, including crude oil, natural gas, tobacco, firearms, and digital assets.
