According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the wallet address of Irish drug trafficker Clifton Collins, who was previously rumored to have lost his private keys, has seen fund transfers resume after lying dormant for over 10 years. The address has deposited 500 BTC (worth approximately $41.52 million) into Coinbase Prime, following a period during which roughly 6,000 BTC under his ownership were inaccessible.
Odaily report: According to XWIN monitoring, Bitcoin on-chain data reveals a divergence between whale behavior and the spot market. Large holders holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have seen their 60-day net accumulation shift from a decrease of 62,600 BTC to an increase of 5,230 BTC, with major whales shifting from distribution to accumulation.Binance's USDT reserves have increased from approximately $790 million to $1.76 billion. US spot buying has not increased in tandem, with the Coinbase Premium Index at approximately negative 0.1416% and exchange net inflows of 8,428 BTC per week. STH-SOPR is approximately 0.9982, with short-term holders still near the break-even point and selling at small losses.XWIN stated that the market's underlying structure is improving, but a sustainable rebound still requires stronger spot demand. XWIN suggests monitoring whether the Coinbase Premium Index, exchange net flows, and STH-SOPR can rise above 1.
Odaily News: Payment technology company Marqeta will expand its partnership with Coinbase to provide enterprises with payment card services backed by customers' stablecoin assets.

CryptoQuant posted on X platform stating that with the Ethereum leveraged positions on Binance being cleared, the ETH market structure has become healthier, but there is still a lack of clear catalysts to drive prices higher.CryptoQuant noted that going forward, key focus should be on whether USDT flows back into Binance and whether the Coinbase Premium Index can turn positive. If these signals emerge, they could shift the Ethereum market outlook toward bullish.
According to AI monitoring, two wallet addresses linked to the Worldcoin project deposited 14.475 million WLD tokens valued at approximately $7.2 million into Coinbase within the past 24 hours, with their specific purpose remaining unclear.
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.
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a BlackRock ETF-linked wallet transferred $203 million worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum to Coinbase Prime in the past hour, including 860.393 BTC valued at $71.54 million and 52,488 ETH valued at $131 million.
According to K33 Research, the US government transferred approximately 17,733 BTC to Coinbase Prime this week, including 12,267 BTC linked to the Bitfinex hack incident. Following the transfer, the government’s tagged holdings decreased from 324,527 BTC to 306,795 BTC. If untagged suspected government wallets are included, the total BTC transferred to Coinbase Prime reaches approximately 21,500. Analysts believe this transfer is highly likely a custody operation rather than a liquidation—Coinbase Prime has served as the custodian for the US Marshals Service since 2024. Coins associated with the Bitfinex case remain in the claims process, with the Department of Justice requiring restitution to victims in BTC; the no-sale order for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve also only applies to fully confiscated assets. Additionally, roughly 1,200 BTC originating from FTX and HashFlare were transferred simultaneously and may be disbursed to victims in cash through compensation channels. Notably, the completion of the transfer of approximately 15,000 Bitfinex-claim-related BTC within two days suggests that a distribution plan or relevant rulings may be advancing.
According to on-chain analyst Ember Monitoring, 3 Pump.fun team or early investor wallets (96HiV4...NKVWM9, ERRGqu...dukdNYa, 85WTuj...RqMD4ERS) transferred 1.458 billion PUMP to Coinbase Prime 5 hours ago, worth $7.58 million. These 3 wallets have an allocation of 70 billion PUMP, which has been unlocking since July. The 1.458 billion PUMP transferred to Coinbase Prime this time represents their unlocked amount for this month.
Odaily reports, according to on-chain analyst Aunt Ai, a smart money wallet with a cost basis as low as $3.77 has once again reduced its VVV position after a half-month gap, with estimated profits exceeding $9.848 million per token. Three hours ago, this smart money wallet deposited 100,908 VVV to Coinbase, worth approximately $2.34 million. Over the past four months, this smart money wallet has cumulatively deposited 562,000 VVV at an average price of $21.26, with a total value of $11.97 million; if sold, the return rate would reach 464%.
according to on-chain analyst Ember, treasury company SkyAI (Nasdaq: SKYA), which holds 2 million SOL, is liquidating its SOL reserves. Half an hour ago, it transferred 211,623 SOL to Coinbase Prime. SkyAI announced yesterday that the company had recently sold approximately 1 million SOL. Combined with the 211,000 SOL transferred to the exchange today, SkyAI is estimated to have sold approximately 1.25 million SOL in the past 5 days, worth $138 million. According to the announcement, the company plans to sell its SOL reserves and acquire 95% of its outstanding shares.
Odaily News: On-chain analyst Murphy posted on X platform that from October 7 to 8, Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) transferred approximately 32,000 BTC to exchanges, marking the second-largest single-day inflow since the major sell-off on February 5 this year. However, during the same period, a U.S. government-related wallet transferred approximately 17,200 BTC to Coinbase Prime. Given that this platform serves as the official custodian and trading service provider for the U.S. Marshals Service, the related transfer does not necessarily indicate a sale. After excluding this portion, the notable potential selling pressure amounts to approximately 14,800 BTC, primarily from long-term holdings with coin ages of 6 to 12 months and 3 to 5 years.Murphy noted that the long-term holder coins spent on October 8 had an average coin age of 712 days, higher than the 651 days on July 14, indicating that earlier holdings are gradually participating in turnover. He believes that long-term holder distribution during the bull-bear transition phase is not necessarily bearish. The phased release of selling pressure helps with coin redistribution, and the key lies in whether market demand can effectively absorb it. If new capital can digest the supply, sufficient turnover may actually reduce resistance for subsequent market movements.
According to SolanaFloor, SkyAI, Solana's treasury company, transferred SOL worth approximately $51 million to Coinbase about 5 minutes ago. This brings its total token deposits to exchanges over the past 3 days to $114.87 million.
Odaily News: According to Lookonchain monitoring, 3 wallets suspected to belong to the same whale deposited 2,903 ETH worth $7.22 million into Coinbase after being dormant for over 9 years. These wallets received the ETH at $9.9 nine years ago, and currently have a profit of $7.19 million, representing a 250x return.
According to Rafael (@n3ocortex), co-founder of the on-chain analytics platform Glassnode, public keys for approximately 6.26M BTC (31.2% of total supply) are now publicly visible on-chain, marking a further rise from 24.8% in early 2021 and returning to 2016 levels. Specifically, address reuse has led to the exposure of public keys for 4.33M BTC, with an additional 1.71M BTC exposed due to P2PK script types (including 1.10M BTC attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto), and 222K BTC exposed via Taproot addresses. At the institutional level, exchanges collectively hold 1.79M BTC with visible public keys, with exposure rates varying significantly across platforms: 10% for Coinbase, 83% for Binance, and 100% for Bitfinex; 49% for Grayscale, 99% for Revolut, and 100% for Robinhood. Fidelity accounts for just 2%, while the exposure rate for holdings by the US, UK, and Salvadoran governments remains at 0%.
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, FalconX transferred 96,600 HYPE from its hot wallet to Coinbase, worth $8.01 million.
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.
According to Coinbase's official blog, Coinbase announced that it will provide stablecoin services for Samsung Wallet, with USDC launching as the default U.S. dollar stablecoin in the U.S. market during the last week of October 2026. When users deposit into their stablecoin balances, USDC will automatically appear as the default option. The related assets will be held in custody by Coinbase Prime Vault through its NYDFS-compliant custody service, operated in collaboration with licensed stablecoin infrastructure provider Bastion. To date, USDC's circulating supply has already grown by 72% in 2025 to exceed $75 billion, and the number of wallets holding the asset has increased by 59% to nearly 7 million.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi, three new addresses withdrew 23,456 ETH from Coinbase 3 hours ago, worth $60.37 million, at an average withdrawal price of $2,574.06.
