According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned that the rapid advancement of AI could accelerate mathematical attacks against the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), potentially breaking existing cryptographic systems within months under the worst-case scenario, and called on the industry to initiate "bunker mode"—transferring assets to new addresses with previously unexposed public keys to mitigate risk. Several industry insiders, however, expressed reservations. Coinbase Chief Cryptographer Yehuda Lindell stated there is currently "no evidence" that the mathematical assumptions underpinning ECDSA have been weakened; Trezor Bitcoin analyst Lucien Bourdon similarly noted that migrating assets could backfire and inadvertently create opportunities for scams. MetaMask founder Taylor Monahan was even more direct, asserting that if elliptic curve cryptography were truly compromised, "the entire world would go to zero," rendering bunker mode ineffective. Meanwhile, Ethereum has laid out a post-quantum roadmap based on hash-based signatures and ZK proofs, while public blockchains such as Solana and NEAR are also exploring their own quantum-safe alternatives, though concrete deployment timelines remain unset.
Odaily News: Bitget has officially launched its rToken US stock transfer feature, currently supporting 3,000+ US stocks and ETFs. Users can transfer eligible stock assets from traditional brokerage accounts to Bitget, and upon arrival, the stocks will be automatically converted into spot US stock rTokens based on the corresponding share quantity. Bitget charges no fees throughout the entire transfer process.After transfer, the rTokens can be directly integrated into Bitget's Universal Exchange (UEX) ecosystem, where they can be used for wealth management, lending, margin, and other yield-generating products, enhancing the capital efficiency and use cases of stock assets. To coincide with the feature launch, Bitget has simultaneously introduced a reward campaign featuring a total of $1 million in SpaceX stock tokens (rSPCX). Users can earn corresponding SpaceX stock rewards based on their transfer amounts, with rewards distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Users can select the stocks and quantities they wish to transfer on the US stock transfer page and use the in-page reward calculator to view the estimated transfer amount and corresponding campaign rewards.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated: "This feature is designed to help investors consolidate stock assets scattered across different brokerages into a unified ecosystem without selling their existing holdings, enabling flexible allocation across asset classes."
Odaily reports: According to Odaily monitoring, an address currently holds approximately 1.38 million HYPE long positions, with a notional value of approximately $114.63 million and current unrealized profit of approximately $61.256 million. This position accounts for approximately 6.88% of HYPE contract open interest, with a denominator of approximately $1.667 billion in total market notional open interest. This is the first observation; no trades were found in existing records, and the position entry time cannot be determined based on this information. According to the official leaderboard, this address has a daily PnL loss of approximately $6.947 million and a weekly PnL loss of approximately $14.344 million, both ranking No. 1; the leaderboard data is not equivalent to self-calculated realized PnL.Address: 0x082e843a431aef031264dc232693dd710aedca88Contract: HYPECurrent Position: Long, notional value $114,630,100Current Unrealized PnL: $61,256,100Official Leaderboard Account PnL (Last 1 Day): -$6,946,700Official Leaderboard Account PnL (Last 7 Days): -$14,343,600Account Observed Contract Trades Realized PnL: $0.00 (excluding funding fees)Distance from Liquidation Price at Observation Time: 10.30% (not a liquidation prediction)
Benjamin Cowen posted on X that Bitcoin's weekly close above $83,000 means bulls remain in control, and bears still need to prove that market control has shifted. Cowen stated that based on his past experience, adopting a dollar-cost averaging strategy in the second half of U.S. midterm election years is appropriate, a strategy that worked in both 2018 and 2022, and he hopes it will work again in 2026.
Odaily reports: Crypto analyst Darkfost posted on X platform that Bitcoin's current price action is quite similar to the market pattern seen from late 2025 to early 2026, with the price continuing to oscillate around the capital-weighted cost basis, and $80,500 possibly being a key near-term support level. Unlike realized price, which only calculates the purchase price, the capital-weighted cost basis metric weights holding costs based on the scale of invested capital, and is therefore regarded as an important zone for measuring the market's average profit and loss status.Darkfost further noted that the current zone is a key pivot where investors on average are at the critical threshold between profit and loss, and market uncertainty may prompt more investors to take action. The $80,500 level may currently serve as support, but future price action still requires continued attention.
Odaily News: GMGN founder Haze has announced the launch of the first season of the "GMGN Global Championship," inviting users to compete in a 10-day live Memecoin trading competition on the GMGN platform, with the final six traders selected to travel to London for the grand final.The qualifiers will run from October 17 to 27 (UTC). Participants must use their own funds (up to $2,000), create a Solana wallet and an EVM wallet to participate, and will be ranked based on realized profit and loss. A real-time leaderboard will be available throughout the competition, and all trades will be recorded on-chain. GMGN stated that daily winners will receive a platinum GMGN nameplate, with the organizer covering flights, hotels, and visa costs for the London grand final, and the ultimate champion will win a limited-edition Aston Martin Vantage.
Odaily News: Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi stated that the "bunker mode" proposed by Ethereum researcher Justin Drake to address the risk of AI cracking cryptographic signatures amounts to "cryptographic doomerism," and argued that migrating tokens to new addresses is not a real solution.Qureshi said that "bunker mode" can only protect assets that users have not yet transferred out of new addresses. If tokens in other addresses are attacked and heavily sold off, those assets could still lose value. He suggested that blockchain networks adopt a "Cryptographic Recovery Mode," using hash-based backup signature schemes that allow users to bind recovery mechanisms in advance, so that validators can assist in recovering assets after cryptographic signatures are cracked.Previously, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned that with the rapid improvement of AI mathematical capabilities, the ECDSA signature algorithm protecting crypto wallets could face the risk of being cracked within "months rather than years," and advised users to gradually migrate funds to new wallets that have not exposed public keys. Glassnode data shows that approximately 6.26 million BTC are currently held in addresses with potential risk. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily News: Galaxy Research on-chain tracking shows that the US government transferred approximately 9,261 BTC, worth about $770 million, to Coinbase Prime over two days. Since the deposit address was first activated in December 2025, it has cumulatively received 11,567 BTC, of which 6,406 came from wallets already labeled as belonging to the US government, and 5,160 came from previously unlabeled wallets.Of the 9,261 BTC transferred this time, nearly half can be traced back to Bitfinex hacker funds recovered by the US government, with some coming from previously known Binance-related seized assets; among them, 2,456 BTC previously had no clear government attribution label, but because they entered this address through the same path as government funds, they are currently regarded as US government seized assets. The US government currently holds approximately 319,100 BTC, of which about 71% comes from LuBian-related BTC and Bitfinex recovered funds.In January 2025, a US federal court approved the return in kind of seized Bitfinex hacker funds to Bitfinex, and the main address holding approximately 94,600 BTC has still not moved. In October 2025, the US Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit against Chen Zhi and related assets, involving approximately 127,300 BTC; this batch of LuBian BTC entered addresses attributed to the US government between June and July 2024. Since 2013, US government-related addresses have received a total of approximately 555,300 BTC, worth about $16.1 billion at prices at the time; during the same period, approximately 236,200 BTC flowed out, worth about $3.8 billion at prices at the time. After excluding internal transfers between the government's own addresses, this transfer, based on labeled government addresses, ranks 9th among the largest single-day BTC outflows in US government history, and is also the largest since December 2, 2024. BTC being transferred to Coinbase Prime does not mean the US government has already sold it, and on-chain transfers alone cannot confirm the specific purpose of the funds.
Hunter Biden launched a MEME coin based on his laptop, $LAPTOP, and used on-chain data to prove that the founding team did not dump or cash out, despite market makers rapidly exiting at the peak.
Odaily report: Crypto analyst Darkfost posted on X with a chart, stating that compared to the end of August, the Bitcoin market trend has shown a clear shift, which can be observed from changes in the Capital Cost Basis. This metric calculates a weighted realized price based on transaction volume (USD), giving higher weight to BTC purchased at higher prices, thereby more accurately reflecting the actual cost of market capital.Data shows that at the end of August, BTC was still struggling near this key level, but Bitcoin has now closed above the capital cost basis of approximately $80,400 for several consecutive weeks. This means that most of the capital invested in the market is now in slight profit. As investor positions gradually turn profitable, market stability is strengthening by the day, which is a positive signal for the current BTC consolidation phase.
NFT whale Pranksy posted on X claiming that "BAYC has ruined NFT." The underlying technology was overshadowed by image-based projects like BAYC, causing the public to ultimately equate NFTs with "the ape project," followed by years of numerous copycat projects emerging in the market. Addressing this, BAYC co-founder Greg Solano responded that Pranksy had sold a BAYC asset that could have been worth $500 million for merely millions of dollars while continuing to promote numerous "copycat projects." She had founded several NFT-related companies, but these have now been removed from her profile. Solano also angrily retorted, "Either become the change you wish to see, or enjoy the wealth brought by BAYC."
Crypto trader Ansem stated that frequently trading based on short-term candlesticks can easily lead to overtrading. Investors should manage their spot, perpetual contract, and high-risk on-chain trading accounts separately, while continuously seeking out temporarily strong altcoins. He believes that revenues for certain altcoins in this cycle may rise in tandem with price increases, and improved fundamentals could drive sustained institutional buying.
Odaily News: According to on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain, a wallet tagged as an Andrew Tate-linked address transferred 20,950 HYPE, worth approximately $1.87 million, to Binance on October 2.The wallet purchased 122,826.9 HYPE at an average price of $4.48 on November 29, 2024, investing approximately $550,000; it sold 41,430 HYPE within two days, with most of the remainder used for staking.Lookonchain estimates that this address's HYPE holdings have generated a cumulative profit of $7.24 million, representing a return rate of 1317%. The address still holds 42,417 HYPE, valued at approximately $3.7 million at the time based on the then-current price. (Bitcoin.com News)
Crypto analyst Darkfost stated in a post that over the past decade, the amplitude of Bitcoin price fluctuations around the "Power Law" trendline has been gradually decreasing, with market cycle volatility trending toward convergence. The oscillator index peak has declined from +169 in 2018 to +102 in 2025, while its daily change standard deviation has fallen from 4.81 to 2.47, representing a drop of approximately 49%. Darkfost added that as of October 3, the model’s oscillator index stood at +34.5, with Bitcoin trading at approximately $84,700. Based on that day's model parameters, an oscillator index reaching +100 would correspond to a Bitcoin price of roughly $157,800, which is about 86% higher than the current price. He also noted that $157,800 is not a fixed target price, but rather a reference level calculated based on current regression parameters. If the Power Law trendline continues to rise in the future, this reference level will increase accordingly.
Odaily News: Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that based on market valuations disclosed by mutual funds holding Anthropic, Anthropic's valuation has grown 22x since June 2024, roughly 10 times the increase of the Nasdaq 100 Index and Nvidia. Fidelity has the largest exposure to Anthropic, followed by CapGrp and BLK; due to the relatively low weighting of these holdings, mutual funds have only benefited marginally from Anthropic's valuation growth.
Odaily Report: CZ posted a meme on the X platform this morning with the caption "Soon....", and also forwarded a bullish tweet about BNB Chain, which stated that tokenized U.S. stock assets have already been put on-chain, and that BNB Chain is one of the major participants, with advantages including low Gas fees, roughly 0.45-second block times, over 2 million daily active users, and approximately 17 million daily transactions, based on which it argued that BNB Chain will become a market focus in 2026.In response, well-known trader Bonk Guy said CZ is very likely hinting at a potentially explosive "BNB szn" rally, and also said that users should not claim later, when the market starts heating up, that they had not been given a heads-up, adding that "the hint has already been given, you just did not notice it."
Odaily News: Blockworks analyst Shaunda Devens posted on X that Polymarket's current FDV valuation of approximately $1.5 billion for Variational is somewhat overly optimistic. This pricing directly applies Hyperliquid and Lighter-level valuation-to-revenue multiples to a platform that still relies on points subsidies. By comparison, the median first-day "FDV / annualized revenue" ratio for recently launched Perp DEX tokens is only 6.3x (Variational is currently around 57x), and within the first month after TGE, trading volume typically drops sharply by a median of 54%.Shaunda added that if conservative assumptions based on historical precedents are adopted (using the median first-day "FDV/annualized revenue" ratio of 6.3x), Variational's fair valuation would be only $167 million, corresponding to a points price of $4.8–$5.4. Even using the highest recent ratio precedent (Lighter's approximately 21.1x), its valuation would still only be about $558 million, corresponding to a points price of $16–$18.However, Shaunda also explained: "To be clear, given that current market risk appetite is clearly in a Risk-on state, we do not believe Variational's valuation at TGE will fall to the extremely conservative range mentioned above. These historical multiples are listed to illustrate that current pre-market OTC pricing may be overly optimistic."
According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi, a smart money address (0x54e...a3F41) withdrew 133,000 VVV worth $4.14 million from Flowdesk 3 hours ago. This address apparently took profit of $588,000 two weeks ago, and currently holds 233,337 VVV worth $7.45 million, with an unrealized gain of $2.128 million based on an average withdrawal price of $22.78.
Odaily News: According to an MSX announcement, MSX has completed the current cash dividend distribution for 16 US stock and ETF tokenized assets, including Bank of America (BAC), BlackRock (BLK), UnitedHealth (UNH), and Lockheed Martin (LMT), covering the relevant assets with execution dates from September 19 to September 27, 2026. Dividends are settled based on the user's eligible holdings at the corresponding record time. The actual distribution amount is calculated by multiplying the recorded holdings by the per-share dividend amount. The system has automatically distributed the dividends to eligible user accounts, and users do not need to claim them. Users can check the crediting records in the MSX App/Web under "Assets — Deposit — Deposit History." The actual credited amount and records are subject to what is displayed on the account page.
Odaily reports: Several partnership plans previously announced by the Trump family's crypto project World Liberty Financial have yet to materialize, including having Aave support its lending market, using Ethena's stablecoin as collateral, and bringing tokenized U.S. Treasuries and equities onto the World Liberty platform through Ondo.According to Nansen and Arkham data, the "strategic token reserve" previously established by World Liberty has also undergone significant changes, with most of its holdings of LINK, AAVE, ENA, and MOVE subsequently transferred or disposed of, and some assets moved into centralized exchange accounts. Nansen analysis shows that after World Liberty's token purchases were detected on-chain, the relevant tokens typically rose 10% to 26% within a day, but most of those gains failed to hold.World Liberty stated that the company continuously adjusts its strategy based on market changes and business priorities, and emphasized that it has no connection to decision-making by the Trump administration.
