Odaily News: Aerodrome's Slipstream V3 has gone live, introducing protocol-level internal MEV auctions to its concentrated liquidity AMM. The upgrade redistributes value captured by sandwich bots and arbitrageurs to active liquidity providers and sAERO holders, with the protocol expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in related revenue. This version also introduces dynamic fees that automatically increase when market volatility intensifies, and retains Uniswap V3's concentrated liquidity design, achieving capital efficiency up to 4,000 times that of traditional AMMs. Aero plans to merge Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism into a single AERO token, and to launch on Ethereum mainnet in Q2 2026. Aero Lite has already launched Slipstream pools on Circle's Arc, and Dromos Labs is developing pool-level fee rebates and KYC options for institutional clients.
Cathie Wood's ARK Invest has announced the tokenization of its approximately $1.3 billion ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) through Securitize, marking the first fund under ARK to be officially brought on-chain.ARKVX is an actively managed fund with an investment scope covering private and public market technology companies. Its current portfolio includes companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks. The tokenization will not change the fund's investment strategy; rather, it will move existing fund shares onto blockchain infrastructure.The tokenized version will be deployed on Ethereum and made available to eligible investors through Securitize. Securitize will be responsible for fund issuance, investor onboarding, and the related on-chain infrastructure.ARK Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood stated that tokenizing the ARK Venture Fund is a practical implementation of the company's assessment of the future evolution—even "revolution"—of capital markets. She believes that tokenization has the potential to fundamentally change the way investors participate in private and public financial markets.
According to PR Newswire, Bitcoin application layer platform Citrea has announced the acquisition of Crest, a self-custody private Bitcoin wallet. Backed by Founders Fund and Galaxy Ventures, Citrea states the acquisition aims to bring Zcash-style zero-knowledge privacy pools into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Crest founder Meliksah Gurtemel will join Citrea as head of product. Over the next few weeks, Crest will launch a Bitcoin mobile wallet supporting automatic shielding, private BTC transfers, and cross-chain private payments (enabling BTC to be privately swapped for USDC or ETH for payments to EVM addresses). Citrea co-founder and CEO Orkun Mahir Kılıç noted that addressing Bitcoin privacy represents the largest breakthrough for Bitcoin layers to meet genuine user demand, with Crest serving as the primary gateway for both users and liquidity flowing into Citrea.
Odaily News: Colb announced on September 24 that its digital finance AI agent Colbee has launched on WhatsApp. The product simplifies the use of DeFi and on-chain financial products through conversational interaction, allowing users to explore and access related products via natural language without directly operating wallets, networks, or decentralized trading platforms.Colbee previously primarily served accredited investors and has executed over $40 million in crypto asset and tokenized asset transactions based on client instructions and signatures. Currently, it supports 10,163 on-chain operations across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon, including 63 product operations, 3,368 swap routes, and 6,732 cross-chain routes, and has integrated infrastructure such as PancakeSwap. Colbee does not hold users' private keys or funds, nor does it make autonomous investment decisions; every transaction must be reviewed by the user and signed through their own wallet. Some tokenized financial products still require eligibility certification, identity verification, and regional restrictions. Colb plans to increase the platform's TVL to $1 billion by 2027, and its colb.finance currently has a TVL exceeding $108 million.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision released statistical data for the second half of 2025. Banks' prudential risk exposure to crypto assets remained broadly flat overall, but the asset composition shifted: in the Americas, Bitcoin's share fell from 75.8% to 44.2%, Ethereum rose to 38.5%, and Solana and XRP accounted for 7.8% and 5.6%, respectively; stablecoin proportions increased in other regions. In the same period, the volume of crypto asset business conducted by banks in the Americas on behalf of clients grew by 93% to €6.4 billion, while that in Europe decreased by 25% to €1.9 billion.
Odaily News: Binance.US has announced that Binance.US Wallet, a self-custody wallet built into its App, is now available to eligible iOS and Android users. Without leaving the Binance.US App, users can switch between the centralized exchange and the wallet, and access tens of thousands of tokens and hundreds of DApps, with support for major blockchain networks including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Solana, and Robinhood Chain.Binance.US stated that the wallet uses seed-phrase-free key sharding technology, splitting keys for storage across the user's device, personal cloud storage, and Binance.US. Users need at least two of these key shares to access the wallet, and Binance.US holds only one. In addition, users can export their private keys at any time or import the seed phrase of an existing wallet. Binance.US also plans to support cryptocurrency transfers between the exchange and the wallet, buy and sell functionality via convenient payment methods, and more tokens, blockchain networks, and DApps in the future.
veteran trader Peter Brandt stated that his long-term ETH chart shows that if ETH breaks above $5,000, the price could eventually rise to $8,600. The higher target marked on the chart is $8,674.50.Brandt emphasized that publishing a chart or making a price judgment is not the same as an actual trade, and those claiming to have completed a trade need to provide proof of the trade. His commodity trading career began in 1976, and he founded Factor Trading Co. in 1980. (Bitcoin News)
Odaily News: Citrea has announced the acquisition of self-custodial privacy Bitcoin wallet Crest. Crest will become Citrea's flagship privacy product, and its founder Meliksah Gurtemel will join Citrea as Head of Product. Citrea stated that in the coming weeks, Crest will launch a Bitcoin mobile wallet supporting automatic privacy protection, private BTC transfers, and cross-chain access from Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Odaily News: The European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) stated in a joint risk update that advances in quantum computing could weaken the cryptographic systems that secure blockchain transactions, communications, and database security.In March, Google Quantum AI researchers estimated that the number of physical qubits required to break the cryptographic techniques used by many cryptocurrencies may be about 20 times fewer than previously estimated. A computer capable of carrying out such an attack does not yet exist.In February, Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and others proposed phasing out current signature schemes and restricting how unmigrated funds can be used five years after the proposal's activation. The proposal has not yet been adopted. The Ethereum Foundation plans to make Ethereum's execution, consensus, and data layers quantum-resistant by December 2029. (Cointelegraph)
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.
Odaily News: A person familiar with the matter revealed that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating Kalshi for suspected wash trading. Since August, Kalshi traders have executed nearly 1 million trades in the Ethereum futures market, with each trade being almost identical in size, drawing the attention of federal regulators and traders. Kalshi stated that there is no fake trading on the platform, and that the recurring quotes are fixed quotes posted by market makers, which faster traders seize upon. Kalshi co-founder Luana Lopes Lara said that attracting large traders to new markets to promote broader adoption is not uncommon.
Odaily reports: DeFi protocols Camelot and Cypher have announced their integration under a new brand, Frontier, focused on building programmable market infrastructure based on the Uniswap v4 Hooks mechanism. Together, the two had previously processed over $100 billion in spot trading volume across Arbitrum and Ethereum, and supported the launch of more than 45 projects; 15% of the total supply of Frontier's token FRONT will be allocated to holders of both parties, and GRAIL, xGRAIL, CYPH, and xCYPH holders can migrate within 30 days. Frontier has already launched on Robinhood Chain, with plans to expand to Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum, while Camelot and Cypher will gradually cease independent operations.
Wintermute released its weekly market report, as the Federal Reserve voted unanimously 12-0 on September 21 to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%. Sixteen officials project at least one more rate hike this year, with inflation not expected to return to the 2% target until 2029. Two key catalysts previously monitored by the market—the FOMC rate decision and the CLARITY Act—have both materialized: the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate (49-50 vote, falling short of the 60-vote threshold), prompting the SEC and CFTC to immediately state that they would establish crypto regulatory frameworks under their current authority. The market adjusted for only a single trading session before reclaiming its losses. BTC traded between $75,000 and $81,000 this week, closing at $81,159—the first time since last November it has breached the 50-week moving average; ETH gained 6.7%, trading in the $2,350–$2,600 range. Regarding ETF capital flows, net outflows totaled $746 million from Tuesday to Wednesday, partially reversed by $593 million in inflows from Thursday to Friday, resulting in a five-day net outflow of approximately $6 million. Outflows triggered by the CLARITY Act were nearly fully offset within 48 hours. At the start of this week, both BTC and ETH broke above the range resistance ahead of the U.S. equity market open. Fueled by approximately $250 million in short liquidations, BTC briefly surged to $86,000, setting an eight-month high. Wintermute’s analysis suggests:
Odaily reports: Prediction marketplace Trueo plans to migrate from Base to Ethereum, stating that Ethereum's mainnet can provide broader integration opportunities and product development space. Trueo launched on Base in March 2025.After the migration is complete, Trueo will prioritize attracting liquidity and launch a next-generation oracle system for verifying real-world outcomes and settling prediction markets. Trueo stated that integration on Base was primarily limited to its own ecosystem.Trueo co-founder Lumberg said Ethereum is suitable for building a credibly neutral oracle system and prediction marketplace. According to DefiLlama data, Trueo is currently the 14th-ranked platform by total value locked among on-chain prediction markets, with approximately $795,700 in TVL. (Cointelegraph)
Decentralized prediction market Trueo announced its migration from the Base network to the Ethereum mainnet, with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressing his appreciation: "It's great to see a new strong contender emerging for prediction markets on the Ethereum mainnet." The project is committed to decentralization, upholds ethical principles, rejects corporate bloat, and seeks to conduct interesting and meaningful explorations by utilizing prediction markets as an economic primitive.
Prediction market protocol Trueo announced it will migrate from Base to Ethereum mainnet to leverage Ethereum's liquidity, ecosystem integration capabilities, and decentralized infrastructure, while advancing a next-generation oracle system. During the migration, the Base version will continue normal trading, resolution, and redemption; existing markets will remain unaffected. The project team advises users not to create new markets on Base expiring after January 31, 2027.
