Odaily News: Bitwise has released its first "Institutional Crypto Asset Adoption" report, based on interviews with investment professionals responsible for crypto asset allocation at 15 large institutions. The report states that between Q4 2025 and Q2 2026, the crypto market experienced an overall drawdown of approximately 50%, yet none of the surveyed institutions reduced their crypto asset allocations, and some even increased their holdings further. All surveyed institutions holding crypto assets hold Bitcoin, with most viewing it as a store of value and ranking it alongside gold as a hedge against fiat currency depreciation. The report also shows that the surveyed institutions' crypto asset allocation ratios range from 0.5% to 13% of investable assets, with most concentrated between 1% and 2%.
Jameson Lopp, co-founder of Casa, stated that BitcoinPoliticians, a crowdsourced open-source data project tracking government officials' crypto holdings, has completed a data update based on the latest publicly available financial disclosure filings from this year.

Odaily News: Visa has released its "Money Travels 2026" report, based on a survey of 2,192 U.S. adults, showing that if stablecoins were equipped with bank-grade fraud protection and deposit insurance, consumer willingness to use them would rise from 36% to 56%; if offered through existing financial institutions, willingness would also increase to 45%. The survey also found that 56% of respondents had never heard of stablecoins, and 64% of respondents had greater trust in payment providers than in the technology itself. Currently, the total global supply of USD-pegged stablecoins has exceeded $295 billion, with USDT at approximately $183.4 billion and USDC at approximately $76 billion; Visa's annualized stablecoin settlement volume has surpassed $20 billion, representing more than a 15-fold increase from a year ago.

Aave founder Stani posted on X to clarify views regarding Aave V4, stating that the Hub and Spoke in V4 are isolated by default based on risk profiles, but markets with similar risk can share liquidity through the Hub and increase capital utilization and capital efficiency within set limits. Stani said that completely isolating liquidity could lead to capital fragmentation, reduced utilization, and higher user costs.Stani also stated that V4 has attracted approximately $1.2 billion in deposits and is deployed across multiple networks including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Arc, while also supporting third-party curators such as EtherFi. The V4 codebase is significantly smaller than Aave V3, and Spoke can directly use the Hub's liquidity without needing to build up liquidity from scratch like traditional curated vaults.

Bitget has upgraded its AI assistant, GetAgent, to v2.0, further expanding its AI research scope beyond the crypto market to cover US stocks, CFDs, and on-chain data, establishing a cross-market research framework that spans multiple asset classes including cryptocurrencies, US equities, gold, and crude oil. Through natural language interfaces, users can query market data, screen for trading opportunities, conduct position analysis, and perform trade post-mortems. By integrating relevant market data, events, and fundamental information, users receive structured analyses featuring key price levels, entry conditions, risk boundaries, and invalidation triggers. From a functional and interaction perspective, this update significantly reinforces GetAgent’s continuous research capabilities. Users can configure recurring reports, set up event notifications, and continuously track market movements based on predefined parameters. This evolution extends the AI’s utility beyond single-turn queries to persistent market research and dynamic monitoring, transforming fragmented market insights into cohesive trading plans. As a pivotal element of Bitget’s Agent-native strategy, GetAgent 2.0 is advancing from a basic information retrieval tool to a persistent research assistant. With UEX broadening its coverage to encompass additional crypto assets and traditional financial markets, GetAgent will function as the corresponding intelligent research layer, delivering cross-asset analysis, scheduled reporting, and continuous market tracking to users.
The Market Oversight Division of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that prediction contracts settled based on whether specific individuals mention certain words or attend events face significant market manipulation risks and may only be listed on designated contract markets under limited circumstances.

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.

Odaily News: Following Binance Wallet's announcement of the 4Stock Alpha user holding reward distribution arrangement, the market cap of BNB Chain-listed stock token 4Stock now stands at $13.3 million.Previously, Binance Alpha published the 4Stock holding-related reward distribution arrangement. Rewards for Binance Wallet holding users will be automatically distributed by Four Meme according to its distribution rules, in the form of BNC4, directly to users' Binance Wallet on-chain addresses.For Alpha 2.0 (CEX) holding users, since Four Meme rewards will be uniformly distributed to the Binance Alpha vault contract address, Binance Alpha will calculate user holdings through daily random snapshots and distribute rewards monthly to spot accounts. Users must hold more than 10,000 4Stock in a single day for it to count as a valid holding for that day. Monthly rewards are allocated proportionally based on the ratio of a user's valid holdings to the total valid holdings of all eligible users, and are distributed in the form of BNCB, with 1 BNCB treated as equivalent to 1 BNC4 in reward calculations.
PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that Polymarket odds for "the next Claude Opus model will be released on September 22" rose to 77%, up 50% in 24 hours.Only a new model explicitly named "Opus" by Anthropic counts, such as Claude Opus 5.1, Opus 5.5, Opus 6, etc. Other names such as Sonnet, Haiku, Fable, and Mythos do not count, unless Anthropic officially names it Opus.The release date is based on the calendar date in U.S. Eastern Time.It must actually be made available to the public to trigger settlement. Public betas and open rolling waitlists both count; closed betas, invite-only access, or private access do not count.If the model name, a placeholder, or a mislabel merely appears on Anthropic's official website but the model is not actually usable by the public, it does not count as a release.Settlement will primarily be based on Anthropic's official information, verified in combination with credible media reports.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the opportunity.
Odaily News: Cardano developers can build applications and AI agents that support payments in ADA and Cardano network tokens based on this suite, enabling AI agents to complete on-chain payments for services such as online data and computing resources. Cardano Foundation engineers have completed the relevant specifications and developed the client, server, and Facilitator responsible for verifying and submitting transactions; the first version supports TypeScript, with a Python version planned for release later.Currently, the Facilitator has only completed actual transaction testing on the Cardano pre-production network and is not yet running on the mainnet.
the North Korea-linked threat group TraderTraitor, also known as UNC4899 and Jade Sleet, recently breached an IT services company based in India that is unrelated to the crypto industry. The attackers posted fake job listings on GitHub, using technical interview assignments as bait to carry out phishing attacks targeting DevOps and crypto engineers.After victims download the project, a malicious .terraform.lock.hcl file points to a Terraform Provider domain controlled by the attackers. Upon running terraform init, the malicious Provider module is downloaded and executed, ultimately deploying the Rust/ARM64 backdoors FLATROOF and ROOFDECK on macOS devices. The associated malware can steal credentials and sensitive data, execute shell commands, collect and exfiltrate files, and gain access to cloud services and code repositories.
Odaily reports: AI model developer Typesafe AI has announced the opening of its System One model Jev, removing the waitlist and giving each new user $5 in credits. The project has been developed in stealth for two years and has raised $40 million in cumulative funding.Jev does not support chat; it only accepts facts and closed-ended questions, returning probabilistic results within 70 to 500 milliseconds. Input pricing is $0.042 per million tokens, and output is free. It can answer questions such as buy or sell, yes or no.In a Bitcoin price prediction test, Jev estimated a 55% probability that Binance's one-minute K-line would reach $85,000 before 2027, with probabilities of 48% and 34% for reaching $90,000 and $100,000, respectively; the corresponding Polymarket market probability for $85,000 was 81%.On September 16, Monad Chief AI Engineer Jarrod Watts connected Jev to price data and built a trading bot that submits limit orders to the Kuru on-chain order book approximately every 300 milliseconds. The bot can decide whether to buy or sell based on Jev's judgments and has been open-sourced on GitHub as jarrodwatts/jev-trader. (Bitcoin.com News)

Monitoring by the PPP prediction market tool shows that Polymarket's "Average number of ships transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait by end of September less than 25" probability is currently at 9%, down 38% in 24 hours.This is based on the ship transit data for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait published by IMF Portwatch, specifically the 7-day moving average of "Arrivals of Ships" on September 30, 2026.The statistical scope includes container ships, dry bulk carriers, roll-on/roll-off ships, general cargo ships, and tankers. Ships not tracked by IMF Portwatch are not included.If rounded figures in the chart versus the original unrounded figures in the downloadable file affect the final settlement result, the unrounded figures shall prevail.Settlement can occur once the data is published. If the corresponding data for September 30 is still not published within 14 calendar days thereafter, the latest available data at that time shall be used for settlement.If the initially published data contains obvious entry or data integrity errors, the market may wait up to the end of the 3rd calendar day after the data is published for an official correction. However, "IMF data differing from other institutions' data" does not count as a data error.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.
