Odaily reports: The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is working to increase the release frequency of the closely watched Commitments of Traders (COT) report to twice a week by the end of this year.The report is currently published every Friday, detailing buying and selling activity in commodity markets and distinguishing between hedge funds and other asset management institutions and commercial trading participants. Producers rely on this report to help inform hedging decisions, while speculative traders use the data to observe changes in market positioning and whether related bets have become overly concentrated. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said last week at an agricultural commodity futures conference in Kansas that the plan to increase the report's release frequency stems from demand from the agricultural community.
OpenAI announced the release of GPT-6.1 Terra, focusing on enhancements to visual reasoning, computer operation, factual accuracy, and software engineering capabilities. The model is designed for daily office workflows and high-frequency automation tasks, capable of processing technical drawings, completing forms, editing videos, and developing software. In terms of performance, OpenAI reported that GPT-6.1 Terra reduced its factual error rate in internal complex prompt tests from 53.6% (observed in GPT-5.6 Terra at low reasoning intensity) to 16.7%, with the error rate further dropping to 4.3% under highest reasoning intensity. In the Terminal-Bench 4.0 programming benchmark, the model achieved a task completion rate of 50.3% at peak reasoning intensity, surpassing GPT-5.6 Terra's 21.5%.
According to official announcements, Bitget CFD has added a Standard+ trading mode, further expanding users' diversified trading options. Under this mode, trades incur no fixed commissions, are subject only to standard overnight fees, and utilize a unified spread model. All trading instruments carry a .p suffix (e.g., XAUUSD.p), covering the full range of available assets, while underlying configurations such as tiered leverage and contract sizes remain consistent with ECN mode. Users can switch to this mode for trading provided their accounts hold no open positions or pending orders. Web users can navigate to "Account Preferences" – "Account Mode" to open the switching pop-up window. App users must upgrade Bitget App to version 2.95.0 or later and tap "Account Mode" on the trading page to switch. Currently, Bitget CFD supports four account modes: Standard+, ECN, Zero Commission, and Pro, allowing users to flexibly choose based on their trading frequency and strategic requirements.
Galaxy Research has published an analysis stating that over the past three weeks, approximately 40 inscriptions composed of random letters have appeared on the Bitcoin network each day, with content that appears to be encrypted text but is not actually cryptographic information. The relevant addresses had previously inscribed the U.S. Constitution onto the Bitcoin network in May. The study found that after analyzing 562 texts, the frequency distribution of the 26 English letters was nearly uniform, clearly differing from normal English and substitution cipher characteristics; metrics such as word length distribution and repeated word frequency also indicated that these texts were likely generated by a random letter generator.Galaxy Research refers to the operator as "Babel Scribe," believing that the activity is more likely testing a data publishing tool on the Bitcoin mainnet rather than attempting to convey hidden messages. The on-chain transaction structure, the continuous use of change addresses, and the regular timing of publications all display characteristics of automated scripts. Related activities also include test texts, random words in different languages, binary data, and the subsequent inscription of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. It is estimated that the project has transferred in approximately 3.33 million satoshis in total, of which about 24% was used to pay miner fees, with the remaining funds still held in the relevant addresses. The researchers suggest that there is no need to interpret these garbled texts as hidden messages.
Odaily News: Solana research and development company Anza has announced that Alpenglow will go live on Solana mainnet-beta on October 21 at approximately 22:50 (UTC+8), with the migration completed within a single slot. The upgrade, which took 18 months of development, will replace the TowerBFT consensus protocol that Solana has used since the public network's launch, reducing block finality time from several seconds to about 150 milliseconds. Alpenglow combines the latest consensus research with erasure-coded data dissemination technology and is designed for use cases such as high-frequency trading, institutional financial services, Web3 applications, and the AI agent economy.
On October 10, amid continued Middle East conflicts, an attack on Riyadh Airport in Saudi Arabia resulted in three deaths and multiple injuries, while the frequency of airstrikes involving Houthi forces and the Saudi-led coalition significantly increased.

Hunter Biden on Wednesday released a forensic report produced by Groom Lake regarding the LAPTOP Meme coin launch, and called out the anonymous market maker involved in the issuance, stating that "the market maker who botched the launch should buy back all the tokens and burn them."The report shows that a wallet possibly controlled by "Market Maker 1" received $500,000 before the launch, but only deployed approximately $5,200 at launch, accounting for about 1%. All liquidity providers combined contributed fewer than 30,000 LAPTOP tokens to the main pool, representing only about 0.003% of the initial 1 billion token supply.The extremely low initial liquidity made LAPTOP's price highly susceptible to being moved by small trades. According to the report, a single $6 buy order could push the quote up by approximately 5%. Combined with high-frequency early trading and liquidity fluctuations, this led to extreme price volatility on launch day.Biden stated that "the biggest winner in this launch was the market maker." The report further supplements previous explanations regarding the failed launch. Last month, the project team attributed the price anomalies primarily to sniper bots and insufficient liquidity.Notably, as of October 7, the 300 million founder tokens held by the project team had still not been transferred. The core of the current controversy remains focused on the market maker's launch execution, liquidity allocation, and whether it improperly profited from the extreme volatility.
Injective has released a new whitepaper, marking the first comprehensive rewrite since the initial version in December 2018. The new version positions Injective as a Layer 1 for institutional-grade finance and asset tokenization, covering the full lifecycle of tokenized assets from issuance and trading to settlement, and introduces native RWA tokenization mechanisms as well as iAssets derivatives. Tokenized assets can be traded on a fully on-chain central limit order book, with uniform price clearing through sealed-bid high-frequency batch auctions; BFT consensus provides deterministic finality, with block times of approximately 600 milliseconds. The new version also covers native EVM and WASM, perpetual contract risk management, and AI agent finance, with on-chain protocol revenue flowing toward regular INJ community buybacks.
Pump.fun co-founder Alon stated that the initial Callout reward mechanism previously led to low-quality spam. The platform has adjusted its algorithm to reduce the marginal returns for high-frequency posting, emphasizing that rewards are tied to the actual trading volume generated by the content.
Odaily News: Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has switched its Zcash system operating software from Zebra to Zakura, reducing the time required for nodes to catch up with the network state from nearly a day to just over 6 hours.The switch was made ahead of Zcash's planned NU7 upgrade. The upgrade aims to reduce block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, requiring network computers to process transactions at three times the previous frequency.Developers aim to implement the mainnet upgrade on November 5, but Gemini has not yet published performance test results for Zakura under the faster block production frequency.

Solana shortened its target slot time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds on Friday, increasing block production frequency by nearly 17%. The computing resources and data volume available per slot are reduced accordingly, while the network's overall transaction processing capacity remains unchanged.This adjustment is the third of four planned phases in the SIMD-0525 proposal. The window during which validators have block production rights for four consecutive slots has been shortened from 1.2 seconds to 1 second, and the estimated duration of an Epoch, fixed at 432,000 slots, has been reduced from about 36 hours to about 30 hours.The next phase plans to further reduce slot time to 200 milliseconds, but a mainnet launch date has not yet been determined, and the implementation condition is that the block skip rate remains stable.
