Hyperliquid has opened another revenue stream relying on USDC reserves: the first payment of 14.58 million USD has arrived, which annualizes to about 193 million USD at the current scale, all used to buy back HYPE.
While others are still debating whether the bubble is real or not, it has already turned idle funds into income, creating a new cash flow beyond fees, truly overwhelming its peers 😅
$BTC $ETH $HYPEInteresting, the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, and HYPE @HyperliquidX actually benefits?
Hyperliquid received its first USDC reserve interest yesterday, about $14.58 million. According to the rules, 90% of the net profit goes into the aid fund to buy $HYPE on the market and then burn it.
Previously, buybacks relied entirely on fees, but now with $5 billion to $6.7 billion USDC on the platform, at about 3%, it can generate over $100 million in buying power annually.
The higher the interest rate, the more buybacks?
Could this be the only coin that actually hopes for rate hikes? 🤪Stagnant Market: Funds Are Flowing In, Prices Not Moving
Funds and prices are in a tug-of-war. $SOL is capped at 120, with low-volume tugging between 119-120; however, the US spot Solana ETF saw a net inflow of $188 million last week, with BSOL alone accounting for $128 million. In Q3, on-chain non-voting transactions reached 14.2 billion, a 45% increase quarter-over-quarter. 119.94 is the pivot point, with support at 116 and resistance between 122-125. Fundamentals are hot, prices are cold—it's the most frustrating.
$XRP is flat at 1.49, with daily volatility under 8 cents. Swell 2026 has pushed spot ETFs onto institutional agendas, and the SEC FAQ classifies "digital commodities," yet spot ETFs still saw a net outflow of $3.28 million. The fundamentals are solid, but it lacks lifting capital.
$ZEC surged 253% before pulling back 21%. Grayscale had a single-day outflow exceeding $30 million and a weekly outflow of $93.56 million; the NU7 testnet will launch on October 6, serving as both a catalyst and a test. BCH failed to break 318, down 1.4%, capped by the 200-day moving average. Volatility does not equal trend.
Fear & Greed index at 65, greed cooling off; stablecoins at 270 billion, still 14 billion short of the May peak, indicating tight liquidity. Funds are flowing in, on-chain activity is rising, but prices remain stagnant—like the oppressive heat before a storm. You can endure it, but don’t force it; set your stop-losses first.

#美联储与欧洲央行将公布9月会议纪要 Will 84000 drop? Holding these two lines means the bull market is just getting started
The most asked question is whether 84000 will drop again. Actually, the price is oscillating between the two lines of 85150 and 83000. Before it breaks out of this range, there's no need to over-interpret the fluctuations. What really matters is watching where the weekly candle closes: only closing above 85150 counts as stepping into the next level, giving a chance to reach above 90,000; otherwise, it's just chaotic fluctuations caused by strong resistance and support. The bigger expectation is to first surge above 90,000, then pull back, and hover sideways near the end of the year for about three months; as long as the step structure forms, the spot orders from 72,000 to 74,000 will move up to 83,000 to 85,150, with about 10% placed near each of these two lines. The volatility signal is still being squeezed and lit up; the longer the pressure lasts, the bigger the potential market moves later. I will firmly hold my spot and large-scale long positions.Yield moves matter less in isolation than in their relative pattern. Bessent’s point is that a broad global repricing of duration sends a different signal from a US-specific loss of confidence.
The quick rebound after weaker payrolls suggests one growth reading was not decisive. If yields remain elevated without diverging from global peers, the message may be broad rate repricing rather than US stress.
#BessentTreasuryYields Personal opinion, not providing any recommendations or guidance. As long as the geopolitical situation does not escalate and no other sudden events occur, the holiday period these two days feels stable, with no major market movements, just slow recovery. The non-farm payroll data was positive, but the benefits were diluted due to geopolitical issues, and the data was overly compared to previous values, leading to alternative interpretations.The CLARITY Act is temporarily stalled, but U.S. crypto regulation has not stopped; instead, it is preparing to move forward on a different path.
On October 4, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that the regulator already holds a large amount of existing statutory authority and will continue to introduce regulatory rules to prepare the digital asset market.
The signal sent by these remarks is clear: even if congressional legislation is not progressing smoothly, the CFTC does not intend to wait forever but is preparing to use its existing powers to promote crypto market regulation. Previously, the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate, and the CFTC has begun studying establishing crypto market rules through its existing powers.
For the crypto community, this has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, regulatory boundaries may gradually become clearer, and trading platforms, digital commodities, and derivatives markets may receive clearer rules in the future. What institutional funds worry about most is often not regulation itself, but uncertainty in rules and policy changes at any time. The clearer the regulatory framework, the more likely traditional financial institutions are to reduce concerns about participating in the crypto market.
But risks cannot be ignored. The executive branch relies on existing authority to advance the rules, but their coverage and legal foundation still have boundaries and may not fully replace congressional legislation. How the subsequent rules divide the regulatory responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC, whether they face legal challenges, and the specific pace of enforcement may all affect market expectations.
My judgment is that in the short term, this is more like a regulatory expectation of positive factors rather than a direct catalyst for immediate incremental capital. BTC may first be influenced by overall risk appetite and institutional capital flows,October 4 · $SOL: The "Stubbornness" Standing at $120
OKEx SOL is currently around $120, up slightly 0.54% in 24 hours, down 1.3% over 7 days, but still up over 15% in 30 days — stronger than Bitcoin.
The warm side: The US spot SOL ETF has had net inflows for 11 consecutive weeks, accumulating about 4.37 million SOL (approximately $450 million) since July 13, with a total net inflow of 1.62 billion. Institutions are quietly accumulating.
The cold side: The active buy-sell ratio is only 0.65, sellers still dominate; whales are unlocking and transferring coins to exchanges, long positions are crowded, and the rebound lacks momentum.
Remember three numbers: 125 above is the real hurdle, only after holding above it can we talk about 130 and 150; 116–118 below is a buffer zone; breaking 113 means liquidity sweep orders are a risk.
Institutions are buying, retail investors are fearful — this kind of divergence is often not the end. But don’t rush, wait until it holds above 125 before trusting it.
$BTC $ETH #美联储与欧洲央行将公布9月会议纪要 #BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出 #贝森特：美债收益率上升符合全球趋势 ## Earnings Report Observer: Micron Raises Guidance, Storage Demand Continues to Strengthen The seller of security was "wrist attacked": Ledger co-founder in France interrupted at home, cold wallets can defend hackers but not masked men
In January 2025, Ledger co-founder David Balland was dragged awake at his home in Vierzon, central France, and taken away separately with his partner. The kidnappers did not hack devices or crack passwords; they directly cut off one of his fingers, sent the video to partners, and forced the transfer of about 10 million euros / 11.5 million USD in crypto assets.
The most ironic metaphor came:
Ledger sells "assets that others can't touch," yet the owner was physically moved. No matter how top-notch on-chain security is, it can't stop "knowing where you live, how many coins you have, and not daring to die." Subsequently in France, there were incidents of a crypto billionaire's father having his finger cut off, Paymium CEO's daughter robbed on the street, and a judge and her daughter kidnapped — criminal groups compiled "hunting lists" by combining KYC leaks, social media flaunting wealth, and exchange address databases.
This case taught all coin holders a lesson:
Hardware wallets manage "coins not being transferred," but not "people not being kidnapped";
Mnemonic phrase splitting, decoy wallets, family anonymity, random travel, and not using real names at meetings;
If really captured: pay a small ransom to save your life, don't be a hero by revealing the seed.
GIGN later raided to rescue, and the last fugitive was caught in Spain in 2026, but a severed finger doesn't grow back.

Expect market shift to start on MondayJust saw "SEC suspends crypto ETF review," my first reaction: Oh no, the copycat ETFs are going to be pushed back again? 😂
But after looking around, I found the headline a bit scary, the reality isn't that bad.
This time it's not that the SEC suddenly turned hostile, nor that Paul Atkins changed his attitude towards crypto.
It's the US government shutdown; the SEC is short on funds and staff, so many normal operations are directly forced to pause.
So the current situation is more like:
It's not that they're rejecting them, it's just that no one is at work today to approve them.
The already listed IBIT, FBTC, Grayscale, etc., can trade as usual, basically unaffected.
The real losers are those still in the queue.
There are still over 90 crypto ETF applications waiting, including SOL, XRP, ADA, LTC.
The market was originally expecting a big ETF package to launch in October, but now, well, the door isn't closed, but the staff have gone home early.
And I think there's something here more worth noting than the suspension of approvals.
Previously, many ETFs needed to wait for S-1 effectiveness before listing, and now that step is also stuck. That means even if the rules have been relaxed and the exchanges are ready, without the final stamp, they still can't launch.
So for now, I don't see this as bearish news.
It's more like the positive developments that were supposed to happen in October have been collectively delayed.
For BTC, the real trouble isn't ETF rejections, but the two most annoying words in the market: waiting.
Waiting for the government to resume, waiting for the SEC to get back to work, waiting for those 90+ ETFs to get back in line I often see people turning 10u into thousands or tens of thousands of U! I just want to ask, how do you convince yourself to get into altcoins? Every time I pay a little attention to this kind of information, all I see is a mountain of corpses and bloodshed.
Turning 10u into thousands or tens of thousands of U does happen, but that's a low-probability event within survivor bias. Behind every screenshot of sudden wealth, there are thousands of zeroed-out screenshots that never get shared.
To be honest, the only way to quickly grow a small amount of capital is almost exclusively through altcoins. BTC and ETH can rise, but turning 10u into thousands of U would take forever. The volatility of altcoins is precisely why they become the vehicle for the "comeback story."
So how do you convince yourself to do it? My answer is: don't try to convince yourself.
If every time you look at altcoin info you see "mountains of corpses and bloodshed," it means your risk tolerance simply doesn't match. Forcing yourself to convince yourself will only make your mindset collapse even worse when you hit zero. Altcoins are not a "whether to do it or not" question, but a "can you bear the cost of going to zero" question.
Those who truly survive in this market never "convince" themselves. They treat their altcoin holdings like a voided lottery ticket—if it hits, it's fate; if not, it's normal. The moment you put 10u in, just consider that money gone.
Either accept the cost of going to zero to gamble, or honestly stick to holding BTC. The worst is chasing sudden wealth but holding on with a saver’s mindset.$BNB: Buy on pullback
Strategy:
· Wait for the price to pull back to the 782-784 range (near the Bollinger middle band) and stabilize before entering a long position.
· The target is first 792.9 (24-hour high); if this is effectively broken, then look at the 800 round number. Set stop loss below 766.9.
Core basis:
1. Moving average support is effective: On the 1-hour level, the price stands firmly above the Bollinger middle band (782.9), the uptrend since 749.9 remains intact, lows are continuously rising, and the short-term bullish structure is sound.
2. Pattern consolidation and buildup: Volume expands on the rise and contracts on the pullback; the current high-level low-volume sideways movement is a typical bullish continuation pattern, bearish momentum is exhausted, and bulls are preparing to launch.
3. Resistance and risk-reward ratio: There is obvious selling pressure at 792.9 and the Bollinger upper band at 794.3, making a direct breakout less likely; buying on the pullback to the middle band support with clear stop loss is better for risk-reward.
$BTC $ZEC
#美联储与欧洲央行将公布9月会议纪要 $BTC's bottom structure has replicated 2023 — and this is crucial.
Everyone is focused on the monthly FVG, expecting the price to pull back and fill it before the next expansion phase. This would be very "clean" and indeed quite beautiful — a perfect re-entry. But I don't think this is the most likely path.
Back in 2023, we had an explosive breakout from the range, leaving an FVG behind. The price did not return there to fill it. Instead, $BTC retested the old range's high, then consolidated sideways before surging upward.
This structure looks exactly the same. If it rhymes, we probably won't see the deep retracement everyone is waiting for.
My strategy: any sweep below the current range low is a buy. I'll add positions there. If we do hit the monthly FVG? Even better — I'll add more. But I won't sit around waiting for the "perfect pullback" because it might never come.
Accumulate structure, not fantasies.$BTC daily chart shows a five-wave rise with no pullback, and a weekly-level correction could start at any time.
In this five-wave daily rally of $BTC, there has been no proper pullback; each time it first sweeps the consolidation zone's low before quickly bouncing up, a classic AMD structure. However, the lower boundary liquidity of the wide weekly oscillation has not been taken out, bullish sentiment is extremely high, and the price is exactly stuck at the POC of the previous consolidation zone ahead, which could trigger a weekly-level downward correction at any moment. The signal is very clear: bullish momentum is fading, ETF inflows are slowing, daily volume and price are diverging, and the main force can no longer squeeze the price into the next range. To push upward again, it must first undergo wide oscillation on the weekly chart, sweep out low-point liquidity, accumulate enough shorts above, and then pull the price up accordingly, which will take considerable time. Do not expect a one-sided weekly trend in the near future.
$BTC Hyperliquid's AQAv2 mechanism generated approximately $14.58M in USDC reserve income within 30 days. It's important to note that this income is separate from trading fees and comes from margin reserves. Ajian believes this represents a significant change in the value capture logic of $HYPE. If this type of income is sustainable, HYPE's valuation logic will be closer to that of a trading platform plus a balance sheet, rather than just a perp DEX token.$PUMP: Buy on pullback
Strategy:
· Wait for the price to pull back to the 0.00620-0.00630 range (near the Bollinger middle band and breakout support) and stabilize before entering long.
· Target the first resistance at 0.00648 (24-hour high); if broken effectively, look to 0.00680. Set stop loss below 0.00600.
Core basis:
1. Bullish moving averages: On the 1-hour chart, price has strongly rallied and stands above the upper Bollinger band, which is widening upwards, showing a strong uptrend since 0.0043.
2. Continuation pattern buildup: After a prior pullback, a strong V-shaped reversal broke multiple resistances. Current consolidation at high levels with low volume is a typical bullish continuation pattern, indicating sustained buying momentum.
3. Resistance and risk-reward ratio: Significant selling pressure exists at 0.00648 and 0.00680, making a direct breakout less likely. Pulling back to the middle band near 0.00616 offers a clear entry and defense point with a better risk-reward ratio.

#美联储与欧洲央行将公布9月会议纪要 #BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出
Currently, funds show a clear divergence: Bitcoin ETFs are seeing renewed inflows, providing support to the overall market; however, Ethereum ETF funds continue to flow out, with institutions remaining cautious about Ethereum. Market sentiment is polarized, with a stronger preference for Bitcoin, while altcoins and Ethereum are viewed with caution, and investors hesitate to increase positions significantly.
$BTC current price is $84,906, up 0.31% in 24 hours, supported by ETF buying, with a support level at 84,000, showing stronger short-term resilience.
$ETH current price is $2,683, slightly retreating in 24 hours, dragged down by continuous fund outflows, performing weaker than Bitcoin, with support at 2,620.
$ZEC current price is $1,305, slightly pulling back in 24 hours, following the overall market trend, with limited independent movement.
Looking ahead, as long as BTC ETFs maintain inflows, the market is unlikely to experience a sharp decline, but continued outflows from ETH will limit the overall rebound potential.
Fund preferences clearly favor Bitcoin, causing sector divergence. The subsequent strategy prioritizes buying dips in Bitcoin, while participating cautiously in Ethereum and ZEC, controlling position sizes, avoiding blind chasing of highs, and continuing to monitor ETF fund developments. $ZEC surged from 480 to a peak of 1698, nearly a 253% increase.
During the same period, $BTC barely moved.
Both are crypto assets,
so why is the gap so large?
The answer isn't in the candlestick charts, but in the narrative.
The market has repriced privacy,
Grayscale's Zcash ETF has risen over 60% in a month,
about 253% year-to-date. Meanwhile, BTC has been stuck in the 84K-85K range for a week,
with a fear and greed index of 65,
still in the greed zone but lower than yesterday.
On the $ETH side, the monthly gain is about 10%,
but there's still 46% room to the all-time high.
Some are repeatedly swing trading in the 2650-2700 range,
while others are waiting for the short liquidation zone near 2,816 to be triggered.

#贝森特：美债收益率上升符合全球趋势 When $SOL prices pull back, accumulate spot positions in stages to avoid chasing highs. This phased approach is well-suited for spot holdings.
Do not chase prices after a surge; prioritize waiting for a pullback to key support levels before building positions in batches.
Short-term support can be seen in the 114-116 range. If the market corrects, this is a good area for the first additional buy; a deeper support zone at 106-108 is a good spot for a second add-on.
For those already holding a base position, the area near 125 above is short-term resistance. When prices surge to this level, there is no need to rush to exit entirely. You can reduce a small portion of your position to lock in profits while retaining most of your base holdings to play for further upside.
Never go all-in on spot positions at once; building positions in tiers can greatly smooth out your cost basis.
$SOL leverages the advantages of high-speed, low-fee on-chain transactions. Currently, many meme projects, on-chain interactions, and new projects choose this public chain for deployment. On-chain activity continues to rise, and hot money will repeatedly come and go.
Compared to historical highs, there is still room for imagination in this cycle. It is a highly elastic Layer 1 token. Provided the overall market environment remains positive, with sustained enthusiasm, there is potential to test higher levels.
However, it is important to objectively recognize that its volatility is much greater than Bitcoin’s. When it corrects, the decline is also sharp. It is a highly elastic asset accompanied by high volatility, so position sizing must be carefully controlled. Avoid holding an excessively large position.
$BTC $ETH #美联储与欧洲央行将公布9月会议纪要 #BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出 This time, the SEC's custody proposal adds options for registered investment advisers and regulated funds: under certain circumstances, they can self-custody, and it also proposes allowing state trust companies to undertake related custody work. Note, this is still a proposal and cannot be taken as all institutions having unconditional approval.
I support giving institutions more choices. Some assets lack suitable custody services, and rigidly applying old rules can indeed cause investment strategies to get stuck in operational steps.
But once institutions manage clients' private keys themselves, many specific issues can no longer be pushed to third parties. Who has signing authority? How to revoke permissions after a responsible person leaves? Can backups truly restore? Can investment managers bypass others to transfer assets? These arrangements must withstand scrutiny and cannot rely solely on "our technology is strong."
Retail investors who manage their own wallets bear their own risks. Institutions that custody clients' money must also explain how authority and responsibility are separated. Technically being able to put coins into a wallet is still far from reliably managing client assets.
What excites me about this news is that institutions can finally design custody processes more aligned with on-chain assets while clarifying responsibilities. Regulators provide operational space, so internal controls must keep pace. When the formal rules and implementation plans come out, I will pay special attention to how independent audits are conducted, not just which institutions announce entry.
#SEC加密资产托管新规，拟放宽机构自托管限制 🔥The faster the rise, the more you need to ask who is taking over
$HYPE, $SUI, and $WLD all collectively rebounded today. The market looks hot, but the fundamentals are weak.
WLD rose nearly 8% in a single day, just a rebound from overselling, not breaking out of the weak range; SUI has risen over 60% in a month, with heavy trapped positions above, creating huge selling pressure on the way up.
Key levels:
HYPE faces strong resistance at 91.3 and 94; SUI needs to hold above 1.20; WLD must defend support at 0.51. None of the three coins have broken resistance; the current move is just a corrective rebound, not a trend reversal.
Capital flow: BTC and ETH spot ETFs both saw outflows; the market lacks incremental funds, making it very difficult for altcoins to rally independently.
The SEC's self-custody and crypto tax cases are long-term themes and insufficient to change short-term market trends. Do not make short-term decisions based on long-term positives.

#BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出 #贝森特：美债收益率上升符合全球趋势 #VanEck：比特币或继续扩大市场份额 The main Robinhood app has over 24 million active users. On-chain, transactions contributed by Robinhood Wallet account for less than 1%.
Even if you include all the long-tail transactions that cannot be identified, the most optimistic estimate is only 5%.
ARK Invest researcher Lorenzo Valente:
"It's like the same group of Degen, just on a new Chain."
This is not a story of "brokerage users going on-chain." This is a Degen party disguised in brokerage clothing.
PONS has dropped more than 58% from its historical high. AI has fallen over 70%. CASHCAT is down more than 50%. The crypto stock Meme project MEME has dropped over 90%.
People who were chasing these tokens a month ago are now cutting losses.
From September 29 to October 2, Pons V2's daily token issuance was 6,768, down about 72% compared to the first half of September. Daily fees dropped from $6.87 million to $1.48 million, a plunge of 78%. During the same period, the daily trading volume on all-chain DEXs fell about 35%.
The token issuance frenzy has cooled, fees have been halved, and PONS's buyback support funds have shrunk accordingly.
When the tide goes out, you can see who’s swimming naked.
After Robinhood Chain launched on July 1, daily active users once surged to 320,000, and the DEX daily trading volume peaked at over $800 million. On-chain data looked very attractive.
But by August, the daily transaction count hit a record 11.6 million, while the average daily active accounts only grew by 3.3%, still 11% below the July peak.
To translate:
Trading volume increased, but the number of people did not.
It’s the same group trading frantically, not new users flooding in.
What is the essence of Robinhood Chain’s growth? It’s driven by crypto-native speculative capital. Meme coins and crypto stock Meme are the hooks, and the bait on the hook is high yield.
When the bait is gone, the fish leave.
Robinhood Chain DeFi TVL is about $1.051 billion, stablecoin market cap about $1.055 billion, and cumulative DEX trading volume has surpassed $75 billion.
These numbers look big. But the underlying user structure hasn’t changed.
Conversion of 24 million users doesn’t happen automatically.
An ordinary stock trader opening the Robinhood app to buy Tesla is separated by a whole universe of cognitive barriers from opening Robinhood Wallet to swap a Meme coin on-chain.
Robinhood needs to answer a core question:
Why would an ordinary stock trader move money from the app to the chain?
If this question has no answer, on-chain growth will always depend on the tides of speculative capital.
At high tide, the data looks good. At low tide, the truth is revealed.
So does Robinhood Chain still have hope?
Yes. But not relying on Meme.
Tenev revealed at Korea Blockchain Week that the company plans to integrate blockchain features into the main app to enable seamless user experience. They also plan to expand the application scenarios of stock tokens globally.
This is the right direction. Not pushing users to the chain, but bringing the chain to the users.
But this path takes time. Tokenized stocks have a long way to go from "synthetic exposure" to real shareholder rights. AMC’s CEO has publicly blasted Robinhood’s stock tokens as "disgusting" "quasi-fake markets."
Cold start relies on Meme, staying depends on product.
Robinhood Chain is stuck in the middle now.
Robinhood has 24 million users, which is its biggest trump card.
But before that card is played, it’s just a card. Not a chip.
The 1% on-chain is the real truth.

Is ETF capital outflow a signal of a market reversal? Don't rush, first look clearly at these dimensions
Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs have seen net redemptions, and the market immediately started speculating whether the trend is reversing. However, ETF capital flows have settlement and disclosure delays, mixed with arbitrage, portfolio adjustments, and tax factors. Treating it as a real-time market indicator risks mistaking noise for signals.
This time it looks more like a phase of profit-taking and position rebalancing rather than a collective institutional withdrawal. There is no volume-driven crash on the charts, contract funding rates have returned to neutral, and stablecoin supply has not significantly contracted, indicating that on-exchange funds remain, but the willingness to chase highs has declined.
Specifically, BTC is repeatedly tugging in a key range, with short-term resistance near previous highs. The first and second support levels still hold on pullbacks and have not been effectively broken, so the bullish structure remains. ETH is weakening in tandem, with a controllable retracement. If core support holds, it can still be seen as a shakeout. OKB fluctuates with the broader market, with support holding nearby and no independent trend emerging yet.
Overall, the long-term logic has not been overturned by single-day ETF data. What really needs tracking is: whether net outflows continue to expand, whether spot prices break support with volume, whether stablecoins continue to flow out, and whether contracts show extreme short squeezes. If these signals do not resonate together, there is no need to equate short-term pullbacks with trend reversals.

Three legendary short trades stand out:
🟠 XRP: ~$2.70 → ~$1.55
10x short with a massive position — an aggressive move that captured a major downside cycle.
🟡 BTC: ~$118K → ~$92K
A high-level short that rode the broader correction instead of chasing the rebound.
🟣 SOL: ~$220 → ~$125
Another well-timed short, staying with the downtrend while momentum remained bearish.

🇺🇸 U.S. September payrolls came in at only 29K vs ~90K expected, while unemployment climbed to 4.2%.
₿ BTC ETFs: the nine-session, roughly $3.1B inflow streak recently snapped, showing institutional demand can shift quickly.
♦️ ETH ETFs: roughly $118M of outflows over three sessions, reversing part of the strong $690M weekly inflow seen previously.
🌍 Geopolitical risk, energy prices, inflation pressure and Treasury yields are keeping the macro backdrop highly sensitive.

#BTC #ETH #XRP #SOL #CryptoMarket #Trading #MarketAnalysis #Bitcoin #Ethereum$HYPE Look at the buyback logic first, don't mix the two types of trading volumes together.
The amount of HYPE traded on the exchange and the fees collected by the Hyperliquid platform are two separate accounts. Token trading activity cannot directly infer an increase in buybacks.
What really matters is the fees allocated to the aid fund, which are automatically converted into HYPE and burned.
So my view is that the buyback mechanism is worth paying attention to, but it depends on how much is actually bought and how long it can be sustained. Simply seeing the token price rise and trading volume expand is not enough to prove that the business is growing in sync.
If this is not distinguished, it’s easy to mistake market hype for revenue growth.
$SOL has already recovered from around 119.6 last night to about 120.6, showing some directional improvement, but the magnitude is still less than 1%.
For now, I see it as a slight correction, no need to raise the target too high all at once.
A more useful signal going forward is whether it can hold above last night’s level during any pullback. If it rises and then falls back completely, it means this improvement is not yet solid.
$BICO has a supply detail worth mentioning today. According to CoinGecko statistics, the circulating supply already matches the total of 1 billion tokens.
This means you can’t apply the same analysis used for low-circulation tokens, but full circulation doesn’t mean there’s no selling pressure; tokens already in circulation can still be sold.
What I want to see more is new demand: whether product usage can bring sustained token demand, and whether spot buying can absorb selling pressure.
Clearer supply is a good thing, but for the price to strengthen, the reasons to buy still need to keep up.Why did PONS's buyback engine fail? A textbook case of a "fee buyback" model
Last month, PONS was still called "the most profitable money printer on Robinhood Chain."
Daily revenue was close to $2 million, with daily buybacks exceeding $1 million. Uniswap Labs personally invested, and the token's market cap surged from $35 million to $500 million in a week and a half, reaching an all-time high of $0.97. Early buyers turned $2,600 into $1.2 million.
At that time, everyone thought PONS had found the perfect solution for Meme coins—using real cash income to buy back and burn tokens, turning speculative assets into cash flow assets.
One month later.
PONS's market cap dropped to $414 million, down more than 58% from the peak of $990 million. Daily revenue fell from nearly $2 million to about $240,000, a decline of about 88%. Daily buybacks plummeted from over $1 million to less than $200,000.
This is not an ordinary correction.
This is a "buyback engine" stalling in broad daylight.
How exactly does PONS's buyback engine work?
Pons is a Meme coin issuance platform on Robinhood Chain. Users issue tokens and trade on the platform, generating fees. The fee distribution path is:
Trading fees → Creators get 70%, protocol gets 30% → 80% of protocol income is used to buy back and burn PONS, 20% for operations.
As of early September, PONS had burned about 29% of the initial supply.
This logic sounds flawless:
The more active the platform → the more fees → the more buybacks → the less circulating supply → the higher the price → attracting more participants → the platform becomes more active.
A perfect positive flywheel.
But the premise of the flywheel is "the more active the platform."
The fatal turning point: activity is not constant, it is variable
Data shows that from September 29 to October 2, Pons V2's daily token issuance averaged 6,768, down about 72% from early September. Daily fees dropped from $6.87 million to $1.48 million, a decline of about 78%.
Token issuance plummeted 72%, fees dropped 78%.
Buyback funds shrank by nearly 90%. Daily buybacks fell from over $1 million to less than $200,000.
What’s more painful is this created a "death spiral" feedback loop:
On-chain speculative activity cools → token issuance and trading volume decline → fee income crashes → buyback scale collapses → price loses support and continues to fall → profit-making effect disappears → participants exit further → activity cools further.
Each link feeds the next. The colder it gets, the more it falls; the more it falls, the colder it gets.
PONS founder Ozzy admitted in response to community doubts on October 3: the buyback rate "has not yet been adjusted," and the previous "claim" step "has not been fully decentralized," with about $440,000 accumulated in the custody account waiting to be claimed for over 5 days without transfer.
In plain language: even the buyback execution itself broke down.
Why is Uniswap's "buyback" more stable than PONS's?
Many compare PONS and Uniswap because both do "protocol income → token buyback."
But their tokenomics underlying logic is completely different.
PONS's model:
Protocol income → 80% used for buyback and burn → reduce circulating supply → support price.
Value capture fully depends on the amount of buyback funds. Buyback funds = fees × 80%. Fees = token issuance × trading volume × rate.
Token issuance is a derivative of the Meme market. When Meme hype fades, everything goes to zero.
Uniswap's model:
Fee switch directs about 17% of swap fees to protocol income, used to buy back and burn UNI, reducing annual supply by about 0.4%. UNI's current daily income is about $129,000, with 30-day income about $4.9 million.
But the key difference is: UNI's value does not rely on buybacks to "support" it.
UNI is a governance token; holders have voting rights on the protocol fee switch and treasury governance. Buyback and burn is a value accumulation bonus, not the sole pillar of price support.
PONS treats buybacks as the engine. Uniswap treats buybacks as turbocharging.
If the engine stalls, the car stops. If the turbo breaks, the car can still run.
This is not just PONS's problem; it's a common issue with the entire model
By 2026, over 100 crypto projects shut down or went bankrupt, with most altcoins retreating 70% to 90% from their highs.
Cases of buyback failure are numerous:
Jupiter: spent over $70 million on buybacks in 2025, JUP fell about 76.7% for the year. Co-founder SIONG publicly reflected: "Buybacks didn't work; maybe we should spend money on user growth?"
Pump.fun: $330 million annual revenue, spent $315 million on buybacks, token dropped 60% after launch.
Helium: founder directly announced stopping HNT buybacks, citing "market almost no reaction to project buybacks."
A tracking of 159 token buyback projects shows: excluding the outlier Hyperliquid, buyback and burn tokens averaged a 56% decline.
One token determines the fate of the entire category.
The rest are all losing money.
PONS's problem is not that the "buyback mechanism is broken."
The buyback mechanism was never "good."
This model's premise is continuous growth in fee income. But Meme market activity is cyclical, sentiment-driven, and unpredictable.
You are using an unpredictable variable to support a mechanism that requires certainty.
It's like building a foundation with sand on the beach. It looks beautiful at high tide, but at low tide, nothing is left.
PONS's lesson is worth remembering for all Meme projects relying on "income buybacks":
When your token price is built on protocol income, you are no longer a Meme—you are a cash flow asset without a moat.
$PONS $HOOD $AI Brazil's election really means one thing for the crypto world: the country with the highest global cryptocurrency usage might see policy changes.
Now that Lula is in power, the central bank is watching exchanges closely. The stablecoin tax issue was just put on pause because of the election, but it's very likely to be picked up again afterward.
What if his opponent comes to power? Scanning through records, this person has never mentioned cryptocurrency. The only related thing is defending the person behind the "Bitcoin Pharaoh" scam.
This is interesting.
In the past, Brazil had the highest adoption rate, retail investors used crypto freely, and policies turned a blind eye. Now, no matter who wins, that lenient window is closing.
One side wants to tax, the other simply doesn't understand.
No short-term impact on the market; Brazil's scale can't support a big move yet. But this is a signal that global regulation is tightening—don't ignore it.
The biggest mistake retail investors make is betting on the election outcome to predict direction. You can't make money gambling on that; what really matters is how much the compliance costs for Brazilian exchanges will rise after the election.
To put it bluntly: policies are never there to protect you, they're there to collect money.
#BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出
#VanEck：比特币或继续扩大市场份额 #SEC加密资产托管新规，拟放宽机构自托管限制 $BTC There's not much to say about this market. $ETH broke through 2700 from 2530, and the 2700-2800 range was basically all short squeeze stop-loss buy-ins to close shorts, further pushing the price up to 2800.
The day before yesterday's non-farm data showed only a 1.11 amplitude, with a high of 2777.83 and a low of 2648; 2700 still couldn't hold. $BTC is recommended to short on rallies, and try to avoid bottom-fishing longs.

BTC 100x leverage is too brutal, small coins with 20x leverage are steadier. Overall slight loss, being alive is what matters $BTC is bearish, currently priced at 84,874.1, close to the previous low; if this level doesn't hold. The volatility is only 0.6%, with short liquidations at 1.08 million USD and long liquidations at 850,000 USD, barely moving against the 8.27 billion USD contract open interest: leverage hasn't been squeezed out, nor has anyone been forced to cover. This +0.32% is not a short squeeze, and there is no passive buying follow-up. What is really active is options: the existing put/call ratio is 0.94, but new trades are at 1.23, with new money buying downside protection; DVOL is only 35.5, so protection is cheap and some have already taken it. On the chart, the 7/25/99 moving averages are still in a bullish alignment, but moving averages lag; the narrow range is holding because no one is selling aggressively, not because someone is buying; the gradually lower highs reflect the current power balance. Breaking below 84,474.6 will set a new low. Conditions to turn bullish: reclaim 84,994.9 and have the traded put/call ratio fall back below 0.94. When watching the market late at night, the tension in my heart is actually tighter than the price. Do you also feel that although prices have dropped, no one really wants to run? BTC once touched 83.9K, ETH hovered around 2.65K, and SOL dropped to about 117. On the surface, it looks like a pullback, but on closer inspection, it seems more like a collective deep breath after leverage was flushed out. Regaining 85K carries more weight than many think; it means the most panicked short-term chips have been digested once. An interesting signal comes from cross-market data. US NFP data cooled down, loosening the grip on risk assets a bit, but BTC and ETH ETFs are still seeing outflows. On one hand, macro pressure is easing; on the other, traditional funds are still cautious. This tug-of-war makes the market hesitant rather than collapsing. The sentiment I see is that FOMO has retreated, and panic hasn't arrived. The chat pace in groups has slowed, there are fewer voices chasing highs, but buy orders for bottom fishing are quietly accumulating. Narratively, SOL's resilience is still being watched, ETH's sluggishness is a bit tiring, and BTC continues to play the role of pace-setter. The bullish path: if 85K can hold steady, altcoin sentiment will warm before prices do, especially for those previously oversold but with active communities. From a cross-market perspective, the combination of a weakening dollar and lowered interest rate expectations is a tailwind for crypto. Potential risk: if ETF outflows continue, the absence of traditional funds will make the rebound fragile. The narrative fatigue in altcoins remains unresolved, and funds may only be willing to stay in B Non-farm positive news triggered a surge and then profit-taking! The market enters a quiet wait over the weekend, with the main event reserved for next week🔥
The crypto market was calm over the weekend. Although crypto trades 24/7 nonstop, weekend funds generally rest, and market trading activity noticeably cools down.
$BTC is stuck consolidating repeatedly in the 84,000-85,000 range. On Friday, it once surged to highs of 86,000 and 87,000, but unfortunately, bulls couldn’t hold the gains, and it pulled back, falling back inside the range.
$ETH remains weak, oscillating narrowly between $2,670 and $2,690, basically following BTC’s moves without independent buying pressure.
$SOL hovers around $120 with slight weekly pullback, but on a monthly scale, its trend is stronger than BTC and ETH. However, weekend volume is too thin, making it difficult to establish a clear short-term trend.
Looking at the macro picture: Non-farm employment data fell far short of expectations, with new jobs well below estimates. The market reignited rate cut expectations, and risk assets rebounded on Friday on the news. But weekend funds did not follow through, and the positive effect was fully digested.
ETF fund flows continue to diverge:
BTC spot ETFs still see sporadic inflows; ETH funds continue to flow out; SOL funds move in and out repeatedly, showing no sign of sustained one-way inflow.
In summary:
Friday’s move was just a news-driven pulse, not a trend reversal. Weekend liquidity was insufficient, and neither bulls nor bears were willing to act.
The real directional decision awaits next week’s market open with fund inflows and further macro data confirmation!
This week is for quiet consolidation and energy gathering; patiently wait for next week’s market battle.Check the market at 1:50 PM
PONS is around 0.4223, my cost is 0.4086, currently a slight floating profit
Can this be considered bottom-fishing? I’m not sure myself
Want to ask you all
First, why I say it’s hard to tell
This morning there was a spike down to 0.4010, I bought in at 0.4086, didn’t catch the lowest point
But I also didn’t chase high, so the position is reasonable
Looking at the market
Support below: the 0.40 to 0.41 range was previously an old supply zone
After breaking through, it turned into a demand absorption zone, which currently looks effective
Resistance above: 0.44 to 0.45 is the moving average pressure zone
Above that, 0.51 to 0.53 is the stage high point of this rally
Long upper shadows prove heavy selling pressure there, don’t expect a quick surge back in the short term
Fundamentally, PONS has had quite a bit of news these days
Founder Ozzy responded to community doubts, saying the buyback and burn is now fully automated
The new mechanism distributes funds every 7 days, then completes buyback and burn within the next 7 days, cycling continuously
There is about $950,000 in the Splitter contract waiting for buyback
If this deflationary logic works, it supports the mid-to-long term
External environment
Last night’s nonfarm payrolls were a surprise, only 29,000 far below expectations, October rate hike probability dropped to about 15%
This should be good for risk assets, but Iran’s attack in the Strait of Hormuz smashed sentiment back down
BTC surged to 87,000 then dropped back to 84,000, this macro and geopolitical clash means altcoin volatility will only increase
My judgment
The 0.4086 cost is temporarily safe, support below at the 0.4010 spike low
If it breaks, stop loss and exit, don’t stubbornly hold
Above, first see if it can hold above 0.44; if not, it’s a weak rebound
Don’t be greedy, exit when it’s time
Do you think this counts as bottom-fishing?
Or catching a falling knife? Tell me in the comments👇

#美联储与欧洲央行将公布9月会议纪要 Solana’s next narrative may be hiding in two draft protocol documents.
One proposal cuts projected SOL issuance by 18.9M over six years. Another replaces today’s tiny ~648 SOL/day fee burn with a resource-based model estimated to burn up to 7,500–9,000 SOL/day at its final stage.
Not a token burn campaign. A rewrite of the network’s supply math.
SOL: ~$120.84 on OKX.During sideways consolidation, don't let "breaking even" turn into a second round of losses
After the non-farm payroll release, $BTC and $ETH spot ETFs simultaneously turned to outflows. The market did not find a clear direction; instead, it exposed a lack of incremental funds. On-exchange capital rotated quickly, with privacy coins, meme coins, and mainstream assets taking turns in the spotlight. Buying in led to pullbacks, selling triggered rallies, and positions were worn thin through constant churn.
In this stock-based market, broad rallies are a luxury. The faster the hotspots, the more retail investors become fuel. The biggest fear now is FOMO: seeing others surge while holding your position still, leading to frequent coin swaps and getting hit from both sides.
What to do when deeply stuck? Don’t rush to "recover all losses at once." First, stop undisciplined position switching and review your initial buying logic: if core assets like BTC and ETH have sound fundamentals, patiently wait for rotation or use small positions to sell high and buy low in batches to reduce cost; if altcoins are driven only by sentiment, reduce positions during rebounds and switch to stronger assets—don’t stubbornly hold onto zero-value narratives. Second, keep some ammunition ready and only act when incremental funds become clear and trends strengthen. Third, lower expectations—breaking even relies on time and structure, not chasing hotspots. Fourth, set a bottom line to avoid deepening losses by averaging down excessively.
In a stock-based market, survival is more important than quick profits. You can lie flat, but don’t do it blindly; either stick to your track and wait for the wind, or minimize operations and wait for signals. Don’t chase every hotspot—your principal is only once.

If we were to narrate today's crypto market, it would be: The wind hasn't stopped, but the umbrella is already folded. It's not that the outlook is negative, but short-term funds are choosing to take profits first.
Scene One: Macro delivers a "lukewarm" report
US nonfarm payrolls increased by only 29,000 in September, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.2%, showing a clear weakening in employment momentum. Logically, this should heat up rate cut expectations; however, the Middle East situation remains tense, and the G7 is considering releasing up to 100 million barrels from strategic reserves.
Scene Two: ETF reverses and slows down
BTC spot ETFs saw about $3.1 billion net inflow over nine consecutive days, but from September 30, there was a net outflow of about $173 million over two days. ETH had net outflows for three consecutive days, with about $55.4 million withdrawn on October 1 alone. SOL spot ETFs had about $188 million weekly inflow last week but turned to an outflow of about $5.9 million on October 1. Coinbase also noted: BTC profit-taking levels have risen to a yearly high, and spot buying momentum is slowing.
Scene Three: Candlestick map
$BTC: Oscillating between 85,000–86,000, 86,000 is the short-term strength/weakness dividing line; only a breakout will indicate a trend, with 82,000 as short-term support.
$ETH: After breaking above 2,600, current price is around 2,700–2,750, with resistance near 2,770; only a break above that targets 2,800.
$SOL: Current price around 120, with 118 as strong support. $BTC BTC/USDT 4H chart, the key levels I’d mark are:
Resistance 1: $85,000–$85,300
Resistance 2: $86,000–$86,500
Major Resistance: $87,300–$87,400
Support 1: $84,500–$84,600
Support 2: $83,500–$83,700 — important, near MA(99)
Major Support: $82,500–$82,700
Deeper Support: $79,800–$80,000
Current price is around $84,910. The 4H structure remains mildly bullish while BTC holds $83.5K–$83.7K.$SAND 😹 Who’s still comfortable holding shorts here?
The order book looks heavily skewed short, which makes a squeeze the obvious risk. Everyone keeps drawing support and resistance, but on thin alts, liquidity often matters more than the lines.
If $SAND gets near $0.08, the short crowd could be in for a nasty surprise. 👀📈
#BessentTreasuryYields #VanEckBitcoinOutlook #FedECBMeetingMinutes $PENDLE surged 6.1% on hot search, but volume is only 0.46 times, I am bearish
$PENDLE is currently at 2.485, up 6.1% in 24h, even hitting CoinGecko hot search. My direction is clear: bearish. The money hasn't followed, this rally feels shaky.
First, volume is leaking. The 24h trading volume compared to the 30-day average is only 0.46, a classic low-volume rise—attention is high, but no real money is entering.
Second, leverage hasn't woken up. Funding rate is 0.0001, neutral zone; despite a 6.1% rise, no one is adding leverage to chase longs, bulls haven't boarded.
Third, the daily chart has long turned bearish. MACD death cross above zero line has lasted 8 days, RSI at 54.3 is neutral with no bounce; the long-short account ratio is 0.6855 favoring shorts, yet price is forcibly pushed up—this is building a ladder.
Resistance above: 2.487 (24h high)
Support below: 2.484 (4h SAR)
Low-volume rise doesn't change the daily death cross; the longer it grinds below 2.487, the more dangerous it gets; only if volume breaks above 2.487 will I admit I'm wrong, otherwise the rebound is a shorting opportunity.
Short directly near 2.485, stop loss above 2.487; if it breaks below 2.484, expect acceleration, first target 2.416.
Watching the market, follow me for the next signal.
$PENDLE $BTCHot Coin Data Rankings｜Last 15 Minutes
$BTC rise is supported by active buying, with open interest basically flat: 15-minute price +0.07%, active buy 75.2%, volume 2.5x. Short-term is slightly strong with trading support, open interest scale has not expanded in sync.

Capital is starting to diverge, with BTC and ETH moving at different paces.
After a brief interruption, BTC spot ETF inflows have resumed, recording net inflows on October 1 and 2 consecutively; in contrast, ETH has faced continuous outflows since September 29, totaling about $135 million.
The market signal is clear: institutions currently favor BTC, with insufficient incremental funds for ETH.
In the short term, BTC pullbacks are still supported by ETF funds; if ETH fails to regain key levels, its weakness may further intensify.
📌 Key ETH levels to watch:
Resistance: 2748–2784
Support: 2668
If broken, next target: 2636
Capital flow is becoming a more important indicator than price; going forward, focus on whether ETF flows continue to diverge.

$BTC $ETH #美联储与欧洲央行将公布9月会议纪要 BTC spot ETF returns to inflows, ETH funds continue outflows: a signal of institutional divergence
Bitcoin spot ETF returns to net inflows, while Ethereum ETF continues outflows, reflecting differing institutional valuations of the two major coins.
There are two reasons for BTC buying pressure: first, on the macro level, weaker employment data eases concerns about rate hikes, and Bitcoin is seen by institutions as a "digital hard asset," prioritized for allocation when liquidity expectations improve; second, after prior chip digestion, prices stabilize, and compliant incremental USD funds re-enter, reinforcing its consensus as a "core crypto asset."
ETH outflows stem from narrative divergence. Ethereum is closer to a "tech platform stock," with complex business and difficult valuation: Layer2 diverts on-chain activity, native Gas revenue falls short of expectations; and without a fixed supply cap, its monetary policy is dynamically adjustable, making certainty weaker than BTC for conservative institutions. When fund preferences return to simpler narratives, some allocations shift from ETH to BTC.
However, short-term flows are lagging and easily disturbed by portfolio adjustments and arbitrage, so they should not be simply linearly extrapolated. Phase outflows do not equal a long-term collapse of ETH’s value, but rather slower institutional adoption.
Worth long-term tracking: whether BTC inflows can form a mid-term trend, whether ETH on-chain revenue and ecosystem data show inflection points, and whether macro liquidity turns. #BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出 $ZEC At this position now, I think the most interesting thing isn't the drop, but that retail investors have already started to jump the gun. 😂
The crazier the rise before, the bigger the divergence now.
ZEC spot ETF saw a net outflow of about $93.6 million this week, while two weeks ago it was still a single-week net inflow of about $98.2 million.
Money's attitude changes faster than people. BeInCrypto
The price is now hovering around $1300, which is quite an awkward spot:
Upwards, there's considerable resistance around $1350–$1380;
Downwards, $1300 is a key round number everyone is watching.
What's even more interesting is the contracts.
ZEC perpetual contracts currently have an open interest of about $624 million, which actually increased by about 7% in 24h, yet the price is still hovering near $1300.
In other words: people haven't fled, leverage is still being pushed in.
With this kind of market, I dare not draw conclusions too early.
If $1300 is really broken down, the people below might all run together;
But if it suddenly spikes up, with shorts so crowded, it could be quite a show.
$ZEC now isn't simply about being bullish or bearish,
It's more like a room full of people holding lighters, just waiting to see who lights first. 😂
What do you think will explode first, the longs or the shorts?🚨 Weekend liquidity is seriously thin — one wrong move and you can get trapped fast!
I honestly thought $ZEC around 1300 could hold, but looking back, my first entry was definitely too rushed. 😅
So I placed a second order and brought my average entry down. Luckily, the rebound came through and I managed to turn the trade into a profit. 🙏
But since the leverage was a little too high, I didn’t get greedy this time. Took the profit and closed everything. 💰
#DailyOrbit Really can't withstand this repeated tug-of-war, please stop pushing the price up.
The 100x full position short on $ETH is still in hand, with an opening average price of 2701.99. The market has slightly rebounded, and the floating profit is being eaten away bit by bit.
The most tormenting is still AAVE; the bulls' resilience is simply outrageous, the floating loss on the short position keeps expanding, the more it rises, the more uncomfortable it gets.
The main market $BTC has been baiting longs all along. Every time it looks like it will crash down, the funds pull it back up.
Clearly, it feels like the bulls are running out of steam, but the market refuses to deliver the expected big waterfall drop. With high leverage positions, every upward pull tests the mentality; can only grit teeth and hold on, waiting for the market to reverse.
