Bitwise's Q4 staking report shows that Ethereum staking reached 43.8 million ETH, accounting for 35.9% of total supply and hitting an all-time high; net staking inflows in Q3 were 1.99 million ETH, marking six consecutive quarters of net inflows. Solana's active staking increased to 440.5 million SOL. In Q3, Ethereum's average annualized staking yield fell from 2.81% in Q2 to 2.63%, with 96.3% coming from ETH issuance; Solana's gross staking yield dropped from 6.38% to about 6%, with nearly 90% coming from token issuance. The above yields are not net of service provider fees and are not equivalent to the actual yields received by customers.Coinbase stated that staking ETFs and digital asset treasuries are broadening participation channels. Kean Gilbert, head of institutional relations at the Lido Ecosystem Foundation, said that after custodians support staking, institutions can participate through existing custody relationships, and the focus of discussions has shifted to implementation issues such as validator decentralization, code audits, and the proportion of fund staking. Since ETH unstaking may take several weeks, while funds typically need to meet redemptions within one to two days, liquidity remains a constraint for institutions. Gilbert estimates that the average staking ratio for related products in Europe is only 50% to 60%; liquid staking tokens can provide an alternative exit channel, but actual sales depend on market liquidity and price.

Odaily report: Analysts from three Wall Street firms—Cantor Fitzgerald, TD Cowen, and Compass Point—all believe that despite Binance suffering an approximately $6.3 billion hack, there is currently insufficient evidence to suggest the incident will threaten the broader crypto market, and the market's prior recovery trend is unlikely to be interrupted as a result.Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Ramsey El-Assal noted that Tether has frozen over $1.5 billion in stolen assets, Circle has frozen approximately $800 million, and Ripple has frozen about $200 million, with Binance stating that the total frozen stolen funds currently amount to roughly $3 billion. He believes the crypto industry is gradually improving its ability to respond to such security incidents and expects crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy to rebound once market panic subsides, recommending that investors buy on the dip.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza believes the attack exposed security weaknesses in Binance's own transaction signing infrastructure rather than flaws in the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and that the market sell-off may present an opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin and shares of listed companies holding Bitcoin.Compass Point analysts believe Binance has sufficient liquidity to cover the funding gap, and expect its excess USDT reserves, BTC reserves, and USDC funds to be adequate to absorb the losses. However, the firm also warned that Binance compensating customers could put pressure on stablecoin supply and may drive users to migrate from centralized exchanges to competing platforms such as Coinbase, Bullish, and Hyperliquid.

According to CoinDesk and security firm Blockaid, Binance's hot wallet has experienced large-scale abnormal outflows since 04:24 Beijing Time. New addresses are holding over $2 billion in assets, Binance has not yet confirmed an attack; BNB dropped approximately 6% within one hour.
Odaily reports: Bitcoin rose about 0.8% since midnight (UTC) on Monday to $81,400, after briefly falling below $80,000. Ethereum gained 0.9%, Asian chip stocks led a tech rebound, South Korea's KOSPI rose 6.6%, SK Hynix climbed about 11% on roughly 7x year-over-year profit growth, and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.5%.The Federal Reserve is about to announce its rate decision, and the CME FedWatch tool shows the market sees about a 92% probability of rates being held steady. Traders will focus on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference to gauge whether there is any possibility of a rate hike ahead. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $176 million on Tuesday, marking a second consecutive trading day of inflows.On the derivatives side, crypto futures trading volume rose 7.5% over the past 24 hours to $163.2 billion, open interest increased only 1.3%, and liquidations rose 38% to $183.6 million. Bitcoin rose 2.3% while open interest actually fell 0.1%; Ethereum rose 2.7% with open interest up 1.7%, indicating the price rebound has not yet been accompanied by large-scale new leverage. ZEC open interest grew 14%, higher than its 6.3% price gain over the same period, making it one of the large crypto assets with the most obvious new position building.In the options market, Deribit data shows that Bitcoin's one-week put/call skew has dropped from nearly 10% a week ago to less than 1%, indicating that demand for short-term downside protection has weakened somewhat, though the one-month, three-month and six-month tenors remain clearly skewed toward puts. Meanwhile, gold futures open interest fell 10%, while open interest for Tether's gold token XAUT rose 11.6%, showing divergent capital flows. (CoinDesk)
Odaily Report: Bitcoin fell below $80,000 on Tuesday, down about 0.4% since UTC midnight and touching a low of around $79,700.

According to CoinDesk, tech investor and podcast host Jason Calacanis called on investors on Tuesday to sell Bitcoin and pivot to artificial intelligence on the X platform. He predicts that Bitcoin will retest its $57,000 low within the next 12 months and will not set a new all-time high. This level is approximately 28% lower than Tuesday's quote of around $79,600. He argues that Bitcoin has "lost the crowd" and lacks utility beyond serving as a store of value. Furthermore, citing ETF outflows as evidence, he asserts that this trend will continue.
As reported by CoinDesk, Indian cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX has confirmed a loss of $16 million. The incident occurred because its sweeping process failed to withdraw customer deposits from wallets compromised in a July 2025 hack. The exchange stated it would absorb the loss itself and confirmed that active users' funds remain secure.
Odaily reports: Bitcoin's market dominance rose to 60% on Wednesday, reaching its highest level since May of this year and holding near that level, reflecting investors' preference for holding Bitcoin over altcoins. Meanwhile, Bitcoin fell below $82,000 on Thursday, giving back gains from the previous day's brief break above $84,000. Small-cap tokens saw more pronounced declines, with the CoinDesk Memecoin Index dropping over 5%, the Computing Select Index falling 3.5%, and the DeFi Select Index down 2.5%.Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX Group, said that the crypto market's prior outperformance relative to other assets has shifted to trading more closely in line with equity markets, with investors awaiting new industry catalysts. Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Indian exchange Giottus, noted that Bitcoin ETF inflows have yet to form a sustained trend, and investors should avoid chasing rallies while monitoring ETF fund flows and Federal Reserve policy signals.

According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency market has pulled back amid declines in Asian stock markets and rising crude oil prices, with Bitcoin dropping approximately 1.1% over the past 24 hours to around $81,466. Analysts at QCP Capital noted in a Monday report that further weakness in the stock market could dampen demand for Bitcoin, and if the broad deleveraging trend in equities continues, it could spill over into the cryptocurrency market and threaten the $80,000 support level.
a report from blockchain security firm Hacken shows that in Q3 2026, there were 107 security incidents in the crypto industry, with losses amounting to $1.18 billion, up 55% quarter-over-quarter. Of this, approximately $906.8 million in losses involved compromised vendors or development tools, known vulnerabilities that were not patched in a timely manner, and related components not being included in the latest audit scope.Hacken co-founder Andrii Matiukhin pointed out that project teams often only audit critical smart contracts, while wallets, signing systems, and third-party software may not be covered, leading investors to mistakenly believe that the project is secure as a whole. The report states that the largest loss event in Q3 was the attack on Bitget, with losses of at least $352 million, in which attackers exploited a vulnerability in a third-party security product to gain access to withdrawal infrastructure.Hacken also found that the asset security of some derivatives trading platforms and prediction markets relies on inadequate key management arrangements, but no vulnerabilities currently being exploited have been found in the relevant platforms. The company emphasized that security audits cannot replace continuous vulnerability management, and project teams still need to promptly fix known vulnerabilities and ensure that audits cover the system components that actually affect the safety of funds.

market analysts are divided on whether Bitcoin can return to $100,000 before the end of 2026.Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at crypto asset management firm Bitwise, believes that factors such as institutional demand through ETFs and corporate Bitcoin purchases, concerns over inflation and government debt, and an improving regulatory environment are expected to push Bitcoin to higher levels by year-end, potentially even breaking through $100,000.Adam Morgan McCarthy, Head of Research at London-based crypto trading and market data firm LO:TECH, expects Bitcoin to trade mainly in the $85,000 to $95,000 range through year-end. He noted that inflation pressures and the possibility of further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve will continue to weigh on Bitcoin's performance. U.S. consumer prices rose 0.6% month-over-month in September, with core CPI up 0.3% month-over-month, complicating the outlook for monetary policy.Luca Invernizzi, Senior Derivatives Trader at Nomura's crypto unit Laser Digital, said Bitcoin will remain primarily driven by macroeconomic factors and U.S. long-term Treasury yields in the near term. However, market leverage has been largely flushed out, and if Bitcoin effectively breaks above $90,000, it could trigger a new round of short-covering. James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, also believes that the contradiction between inflation and a weakening job market will influence the Fed's subsequent policy decisions and Bitcoin's trajectory.

According to CoinDesk, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis disclosed on Thursday on X that a cryptocurrency scammer who profited from a "task scam" (luring victims with paid review boosting or order brushing, then demanding account top-ups under the guise of a "negative balance") transferred the illicit proceeds to three Ledger hardware wallet addresses. These addresses were subsequently drained by attackers, resulting in a total loss of 60 BTC valued at over $4.9 million, making it one of the biggest victims in this Ledger device intrusion incident.
According to CoinDesk, BlackRock’s third-quarter digital asset AUM surged significantly from $48.8 billion to $79.6 billion, marking a 63% quarter-over-quarter increase. Net inflows during the period totaled $7.9 billion, reversing the $2.2 billion net outflow in the first half of the year. This growth was primarily driven by rising market prices, with market value gains contributing $22.9 billion and new investor capital adding $7.9 billion. Despite this, the current figure remains 23% below the approximately $104 billion peak reached at this time last year, with market value declining by $30.6 billion over the past 12 months. During the quarter, BlackRock’s digital asset products (including the iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT) collectively generated $39 million in fees and securities lending income.
According to CoinDesk, it has been one year since the "October 11 crash" that triggered roughly $19 billion in leveraged liquidations across the crypto market, with analysts warning that the potential structural risks behind the flash crash persist. In October 2025, Bitcoin experienced a sudden flash crash within days of hitting an all-time high above $126,000, plummeting from approximately $122,000 to $105,000 in a short timeframe and triggering the mass liquidation of leveraged long positions.
According to CoinDesk, volatility in the U.S. Treasury market continues to rise, while Bitcoin and U.S. stock market volatility remain at year-to-date lows. Market analysts warn that turmoil in the bond market may gradually spill over into risk assets.
Odaily News: Bitcoin is facing selling pressure, marking its third rejection near $87,000 since September 23. FxPro analyst Alex Kuptsikevich noted that since early last week, BTC has formed a pattern of "rising local lows," but bulls have yet to gain sufficient upward momentum. The price is now approaching the apex of a triangle formed by horizontal resistance and an ascending support line. A breakout from this pattern could bring greater volatility to the market.The total crypto market capitalization has fallen back to approximately $2.93 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. equities have shown relative strength, with the Nasdaq 100 hitting a record closing high and the S&P 500 less than 0.5% away from its all-time high. However, U.S. Treasury yields continue to climb, with the 10-year yield rising to 5.32%, near its highest level since 2002.Market observers believe that for BTC to break through $87,000, sufficient buying pressure is needed to absorb the persistent selling near that level. Once it holds above this threshold, it could open further upside toward its near 8-month high. (CoinDesk)
Odaily reports: A wallet linked to the $387.5 million Bitget exploit transferred 2,746 ZEC into Zcash's Ironwood privacy pool on Wednesday across three transactions, worth approximately $3.9 million.The funds account for roughly 15% of the ZEC stolen on September 24. The Ironwood privacy pool can conceal the sender, recipient, and transfer amount, but investigators may still be able to trace the path of funds returning to public addresses through transaction timing and amounts.

Odaily reports: Aztec Network developer Aztec Labs has relaunched the self-custodial wallet zk.money. The wallet can conceal payment amounts, balances, and recipient information through Aztec Network, and supports transfers via readable names or links.Users can deposit DAI, USDC, or USDT from Ethereum, with USDC and USDT being converted to DAI. Deposit records remain publicly traceable, while subsequent transaction activity remains private.The early Alpha version limits individual deposits, payments, and withdrawals to under $2,500, and screens addresses in accordance with sanctions policy. The software has not yet undergone a full audit and carries security risks. (CoinDesk)
Odaily News: Some analysts expect that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield could rise to 6%, driven by concerns over the federal fiscal deficit, debt growth, and capital competition. Since the end of 2023, the yield has risen to 5.23%, while Bitcoin's price has roughly doubled to $86,000.If yields rise due to fiscal concerns, investors may seek alternatives to government debt, and Bitcoin could benefit; if the rise in yields is driven by the Federal Reserve tightening monetary policy again, Bitcoin could come under pressure. (CoinDesk)
According to CoinDesk, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has continued to climb, with some analysts forecasting it will reach 6% (it last hit this level in 2000). Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, emphasized that the drivers behind the yield increase are critical: if the rise stems from concerns over fiscal deficits and term premiums, investors may shift to alternative assets such as Bitcoin, constituting a bullish development; if it stems from the Federal Reserve resuming its rate-hiking cycle, it would repeat the 2022 scenario of Bitcoin plummeting 64%. Data shows that since the end of 2023, the 10-year yield has risen by 135 basis points to 5.23%, while Bitcoin’s price simultaneously doubled to around $86,000, validating the "decoupling" narrative between Bitcoin and Treasuries amid fiscal concerns. Dan Niles, founder of Niles Investment Management, also noted that the U.S. fiscal deficit accounts for approximately 6% of GDP. Coupled with tech giants undertaking large-scale fundraising that competes with Treasuries for the same pool of capital, yields will continue to be pushed higher.
