10x Research's latest crypto market weekly report notes that the crypto market broadly suffered a sell-off last week, with altcoins declining significantly more than Bitcoin. The 141 tokens it tracks fell 14% on average, while Bitcoin dropped only 3% over the same period.10x Research states that trading volume in the crypto market is currently declining, stablecoin supply continues to contract, and ETF fund flows have turned to net outflows, reflecting mounting pressure on market liquidity.However, options market pricing indicates that pressure remains relatively low, while speculative positions in the CME futures market are near highs, suggesting that the derivatives market has not yet fully reflected the weak performance of the spot market.10x Research believes that investors should focus this week on key Bitcoin technical levels, Ethereum position allocation, as well as capital flows and position changes in the altcoin market.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin launched a "paranoid mode" for his AI agent on October 16, designed to conceal user identity, request origins, and payment traces. The solution packages zkAPI, Tor, additional obfuscation traffic, and local large language model prompt rewriting into an OpenAI-compatible daemon, with an outer wrapper designed for the agent framework pi. The system is already running on the Ethereum mainnet and supports ETH and USDC deposits. Vitalik stated that the system is "already quite usable," but starting new conversations is relatively slow, and the agent is confined to a software sandbox.

Odaily reports: Crypto trader Ansem shared his recent investment views, stating that the crypto market is gradually shifting toward a phase that places greater emphasis on individual project fundamentals, capital inflows, and actual business performance. As a result, identifying mispriced assets and determining which teams are truly driving project development will become increasingly important, rather than relying entirely on the price action of major assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.Ansem believes that the investment approach to altcoins in this cycle differs from the past. Assets such as HYPE and ZEC have, even during periods of overall market weakness, decoupled from Bitcoin and Ethereum and charted independent price movements.
