    Solana Foundation’s Shanghai Event Cancelled Without Warning On Day Of Launch

    The Solana Foundation’s “Solana Accelerate China 2026” event in Shanghai was called off at short notice on the morning of October 16, Wu Blockchain reported. No reason for the cancellation has been given. Some registered attendees said they waited about 90 minutes at the venue and were still refused entry. Organisers sent an apology email to participants at 12:00 p.m. local time but did not explain what had happened. The event was meant to be one of the foundation’s main outreach efforts to developers and builders in mainland China, where crypto trading and mining have been banned since 2021. The Solana Foundation has not publicly commented on whether the event will be rescheduled.

    Stacks Q3 Report: 735 BTC Staked As STX Staking Climbs 25%

    Bitcoin layer-2 network Stacks said 735 BTC entered its Bitcoin staking system across the first two lock-up cycles, according to its third-quarter ecosystem report. The first cycle, Bond 1, drew 230 BTC from participants including 21Shares, HashKey Cloud, UTXO Management and Sypher Capital. The second cycle more than doubled that figure to 505 BTC. STX staking also grew after the PoX-5 hard fork, rising more than 25% from 392 million to 493 million tokens. Institutional names among early depositors suggest growing interest in earning yield on Bitcoin without moving it off the Bitcoin network. Lock-up cycles let holders commit BTC for set periods in return for rewards.

    South Korea Watches Bond And Currency Markets After Stock Rout

    South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance said it will track whether the recent stock market turmoil spreads into the bond, foreign exchange and money markets, Cailian Press reported. The government and related agencies will step up monitoring of equities and act firmly against any activity that disrupts market order. The ministry said the market’s fundamentals remain sound, citing strong growth expectations, a current account surplus and improving corporate earnings. The statement follows Thursday’s selloff, when the KOSPI closed 7.57% lower and both main indices triggered circuit breakers on the same day for the first time since July 29. Foreign investors have now been net sellers for eight sessions in a row.

    Australia Publishes Draft Law To Adopt OECD Crypto Tax Reporting Rules

    Australia’s Treasury has released draft legislation to bring the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) into domestic law, Cointelegraph reported. The Treasury Laws Amendment Bill 2026: Tax Information Reporting is open for public feedback until October 28. Along with CARF, the bill sets up a separate local reporting regime for crypto assets. Under the framework, crypto service providers will collect user and transaction data and pass it to tax authorities, who can then share it with other participating countries. Australia first signalled its plan to adopt CARF in November 2023 and consulted on the design in late 2024. Cross-border sharing of crypto tax data is expected to begin in 2028.

    OCC Final Rule On GENIUS Act Expected By End Of October

    The US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency expects to publish its final rule implementing the GENIUS Act no later than the end of October, Comptroller Jonathan Gould said, according to journalist Eleanor Terrett. Gould said the rule would be released soon. The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, created the first federal framework for payment stablecoins in the United States. The OCC’s rule will set out how federally regulated banks and non-bank issuers can issue and manage stablecoins under the law. Its release would mark a key step in moving the framework from legislation to enforceable regulation, giving issuers clearer rules on reserves, licensing and supervision.

    Odds Of Bitcoin Price Hitting $100,000 By Christmas Drop Below 10%

    The market-implied chance of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 before Christmas has fallen 2.8 percentage points in 24 hours to 9.7%, according to Nick Forster, founder of options platform Derive.xyz, as cited by Bloomberg. The decline in odds followed BTC’s brief drop below $80,000, its first move under that level in nearly a month, as a selloff in US AI stocks pushed investors out of risk assets. Bloomberg described the crypto market as split. Market forecasters remain positive, while speculative traders have turned defensive and cut risk. Hitting $100,000 by December 25 would require a gain of about 22% from Bitcoin’s current price near $82,000 in just over ten weeks.

    Jio IPO News: Bitget Opens 24/7 Futures Trading On Reliance Jio Before Listing

    Crypto exchange Bitget has listed JIOUSDT, a perpetual futures contract linked to the pre-IPO valuation of Jio Platforms, the digital services arm of Reliance Industries. Bitget’s chief executive announced the launch and said it is the first pre-IPO perpetual contract tied to an Indian company on a global exchange. The product lets traders take long or short positions on Jio’s implied value 24 hours a day, ahead of its stock market debut. Jio Platforms is preparing an initial public offering expected to raise about $3.5 billion at a valuation of roughly $106 billion, which would make it India’s largest IPO on record, according to the announcement. The contract settles in USDT and does not give holders any ownership of Jio shares.

    Korea Stock Market News: KOSPI, KOSDAQ Halted Together For First Time Since July As FSC Steps In

    South Korea’s Financial Services Commission held an emergency meeting on Thursday and said it is ready to activate contingency plans after the KOSPI closed down 7.57%. SK Hynix fell 11.06% and Samsung Electronics lost 9.48%. FSC Commissioner Lee Won-geon chaired the 2:30 p.m. session. The regulator said the pace of the decline looked excessive and pledged strict action against false rumours, market manipulation and illegal short selling. The KOSDAQ hit a Level 1 circuit breaker at 12:23 p.m., and the KOSPI followed at 12:38 p.m. after dropping 8% to 5,528.05. It was the first time both indices were halted on the same day since July 29. Foreign investors sold a net KRW 2.9 trillion, extending their selling streak to eight sessions.

    More than $106 million in Ethereum (ETH) long positions were liquidated on Binance within one hour following hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data, marking the largest hourly liquidation of ETH longs on the exchange in nearly six months, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost. He noted that crypto futures trading volume is now roughly nine times spot volume, increasing the market’s vulnerability to economic shocks. Meanwhile, expectations of another Federal Reserve rate hike have climbed from 17% to nearly 30% in one week, adding further pressure on leveraged crypto traders.

    Korea Stock Market Halted: KOSPI Tumbles 8% On Chip Sell-Off And Fed Fears

    South Korea’s KOSPI fell as much as 8% on Thursday, triggering a circuit breaker that halted trading at midday, according to market posts on X. Chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix led the losses with declines of 9% to 11%. The drop wiped out the index’s gains since its June peak and extended its longest losing run in years. Earlier in the session, Korea Exchange paused program selling for five minutes after the index fell 6%. Market commentators linked the selloff to stronger-than-expected US inflation data, which raised expectations of tighter Federal Reserve policy, as well as concerns over AI spending, debt at providers such as CoreWeave, and rising Chinese chip competition. Japan’s Nikkei also fell nearly 4%.

    US XRP And ZEC Spot ETFs Draw $4.42 Million In Net Inflows

    US spot exchange-traded funds tracking XRP and Zcash recorded combined net inflows of $4,423,800 on October 14, according to SoSoValue data. Zcash ETFs led the day with $3,683,400 in net inflows. XRP funds brought in $740,400. The inflows came a day before the wider crypto market dropped sharply, with Bitcoin falling below $81,000 and more than $476 million in leveraged positions liquidated in one hour. The figures show continued institutional demand for altcoin ETF products even as risk sentiment weakened after US September inflation data came in higher than expected. Flows for these products remain far smaller than those seen in Bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs.

    WSJ Report Says Tether Paid $6 Million To Bo Hines-Linked Firm During GENIUS Act Push

    Tether paid more than $6 million to Nxum, a consulting firm co-founded by former White House crypto adviser Bo Hines, while he was working to advance the GENIUS Act, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation. The newspaper cited internal documents, messages and payment records showing the money was divided among Nxum’s three partners. Hines kept a stake in the firm. He had stepped back from daily operations but still discussed the stablecoin bill with his partners over Signal while in office, the report said. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025. Hines left his White House post that August and became CEO of Tether’s US stablecoin business in September. The sequence has raised conflict-of-interest questions.

    The US 5-year Treasury yield surged to 5.15%, reaching its highest level in 19 years, as bond investors demanded higher returns to lend to the US government. The yield now stands 115 basis points above the Federal Reserve’s interest rate range of 3.75% to 4.00%.

    US inflation accelerated in September, with headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.7% year-over-year, above the 3.6% forecast and 3.4% previous reading. Monthly headline CPI increased 0.6%, matching expectations. Core CPI rose 2.6% annually, exceeding the 2.5% estimate and 2.4% prior reading. Monthly core inflation reached 0.3% against expectations of 0.2%. The hotter-than-expected data could reduce near-term Federal Reserve rate-cut expectations and increase pressure for higher interest rates.

Anthropic said a fully autonomous AI worm has not yet appeared, but the individual capabilities needed are developing quickly and could combine within months.

    XRP News Today: Monthly RSI Hits Lowest Level In 13-Year History

    XRP is at one of the most extreme readings in its 13-year history. Its monthly RSI is the lowest on record, the realized profit/loss ratio was pushed deep into loss territory and is trying to recover, and relative unrealized profit has collapsed toward levels linked to maximum stress. Price is still holding a long-term rising base beneath the 2018 cycle high. Weak price, exhausted profitability and depressed momentum are showing up together after years of compression. That mix often marks a stage where few want the asset and the risk-reward starts to look attractive, and XRP could be among the assets that surprise hardest on a rebound.

    UK Could Sell $5 Billion in Seized Bitcoin After Court Ruling

    A London High Court has ruled that Chinese law applies to claims by victims seeking the 61,000 Bitcoin seized from fraudster Zhimin Qian. The Bitcoin, mostly acquired between 2014 and 2017, is now worth about $5 billion. The ruling could limit victims’ claims to the original value of their losses, leaving more of the price gains with the UK government. However, the decision is preliminary, and victims are appealing. A further hearing is required before the claims are resolved. The UK has previously sold seized Bitcoin under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

    Nvidia Stock Price Today: China AI Chip Share Falls To 34% As Huawei Closes In

    Nvidia’s share of China’s data center AI chip market dropped to 34% in the first half of 2026, according to IDC. Its shipments to China totaled 678,000 units, down 44% from a year earlier, as US export controls limited supply. IDC did not say which products it counted, so it is unclear whether banned chips such as the B200 and B300 are included. Huawei shipped 572,000 AI chips, up from just over 300,000, and now holds 28% of the market. T-Head has 7%, Cambricon 5%, Kunlunxin 4% and Hygon 3%. Nine of the 11 Chinese chipmakers IDC tracks grew shipments. China’s total reached 2.008 million units. GPU shipments fell 26% to 991,000, while non-GPU AI chips rose nearly 80% to 1.016 million, passing GPUs by volume for the first time. Huawei, T-Head, Kunlunxin and Cambricon make up 95% of that segment.

However, the supply would cover only around nine days of US diesel demand, based on EIA data. Just 300,000 tons are expected initially, while Ukrainian strikes have constrained Russian refining capacity. Jefferies warns the deal is unlikely to significantly reduce diesel prices because the promised supply must serve global markets, not just the US.

    What’s Next For Bitcoin, Ethereum And XRP Prices?

    Fresh tension in the Middle East hit crypto hard, with prices falling within minutes of the headlines. Nick Valdez of VerifiedInvesting.com says that if Bitcoin keeps sliding, a few key support levels will decide how far Ethereum, XRP and the rest of the market fall.

    What triggered the drop

    Valdez linked the sharp move to renewed escalation in the Middle East and a social media post from President Trump. Some coins fell far harder than others:

    • Cardano (ADA): down almost 7%
    • Avalanche (AVAX): down 6.6%
    • XRP: down about 4.5% in roughly half an hour
    • Solana (SOL): down about 4%
    • Ethereum (ETH): barely moved at first

    Bitcoin: the driver for everything else

    Valdez’s altcoin levels all depend on one thing: whether Bitcoin keeps falling. BTC dropped below $81,000 this week, losing a support zone other analysts had flagged at $81,600 to $82,930. The next levels they are watching sit near $78,200, where the 50-week moving average lies, and then $75,000.

    Ethereum: a bull flag under pressure

    Valdez sees Ethereum trading inside a bull flag, a pattern that often comes before a move higher. The bottom of that flag gives support at around $2,357 to $2,360. If it holds, ETH could later push toward resistance near $3,200, but it first has to break out of its current range.

    He also pointed to BitMine, Tom Lee’s company, which he said holds roughly 5% of all ETH in existence and earns about 3% a year from staking it. If selling continues, he is watching the price level where BitMine’s shares last closed on September 16, a gap that has not yet been filled.

    XRP: watching a trend line from August

    XRP tried several times to break through resistance on the four-hour chart and failed each time. Valdez is now watching a trend line drawn from XRP’s August 26 peak, which earlier acted as resistance.

    If Bitcoin keeps falling, he expects that line to offer support just above $1.278, slightly below $1.30.

    Other coins on his radar

    • Solana: $100 is a strong psychological level. Below it, Valdez is watching $97, then $90, near an old descending trend line.
    • Cardano: support is the level tested in July, August and September. ADA came close to 30 cents earlier, about 28 cents, before sellers took control.
    • Avalanche: support sits a little below $10.

    XRP Price: Falling Below $0.98 Could Delay The Next Rally By Months

    XRP is still capped below $1.67 and appears to be sliding back toward a support zone between $1.10 and $1.37. One chart post says the token can keep following its bullish paths as long as that zone holds. CasiTrades said the $1.65 level has been rejected several times and that weak signals had been building for weeks. She says the last push higher is now off the table, with price sitting at the halfway point of its recent drop. Her next targets are $1.26 and then $1.10, and she believes RSI still looks very bearish, so the low may not be in yet. She treats $0.98 as the line that matters. A drop below it would cancel her new-trend view and bring $0.87 into play, which she says could delay a bigger rally by months. Holding $1.26 or $1.10 would strengthen the case that a new uptrend has started.

    Nvidia Stock Price Today: TSMC Record Revenue And Micron Rebound Lift Chip Sentiment

    Nvidia (NVDA) was up nearly 2% in premarket trading on October 9, at $234.27, after three straight losing sessions. The stock hit a record $243 intraday on October 6, then slid almost 3% on Thursday to $230.48 as the wider market weakened. Dip buyers stepped in as TSMC reported record revenue and Cantor Fitzgerald said Micron’s HBM supply and pricing outlook was intact, which lifted Micron and SK Hynix.

    Bitcoin Price Could Hit A New All-Time High Within 90 Days

    Analyst Timothy Peterson says he expects Bitcoin to set a new all-time high within 90 days. His reasoning is historical: every time Bitcoin has climbed from 50% below its peak back to 30% below, it has made a new high within 75 days, with a median of 24 days. He says the hit rate is 100% across all macro conditions, and that Bitcoin never fell to a new cycle low first. The 30% mark sits near $88,000. Peterson expects Bitcoin to pass it, probably later this month, and sees a new high as imminent after that. Bitcoin trades at $82,356.99, down 1.1% on the day and 3.2% on the week, and is 34.7% below its record of $126,080.

    Musk Asks Why Starlink Still Has No India Licence

    Elon Musk has asked why Starlink still has no India licence, escalating his dispute with New Delhi. In a post on 8 October, Musk said Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries and has spent five years following “every single law and requirement” of the Indian government. He then asked whether Ambani is “the real boss of India”, without offering evidence. Jio, run by Reliance, is one of three operators the Centre says face the same security assessment as Starlink. The Centre says licences are already granted and spectrum comes only after security clearance. It has called the bias claim “baseless and misconceived” and has not addressed the Ambani remark. Earlier reports put Starlink’s wait at nearly four years.

    Dow Jones Today: Why US Stock Futures Are Falling As Hormuz Attacks Lift Oil

    Dow Jones futures fell 0.9% in premarket trading on Thursday, S&P 500 futures dropped 0.5% and Nasdaq-100 futures lost 0.7%, a day after US stocks slipped from record highs. Oil is the main pressure. Crude rose on supply worries from the Middle East, with attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz hitting their highest weekly level since the Iran war began, according to Reuters. About 20% of global oil and fuel supply moved through the strait before the war. Higher energy costs are keeping inflation fears alive. The Fed voted unanimously to raise rates in September, and Governor Chris Waller speaks in Turkey on Thursday, which could give clues on the next move. The 10-year Treasury yield was near 5.28% and the 30-year near 5.66%. Investors are also weighing the start of earnings season.

    ESMA Sets Jan. 8 Deadline for EU Firms to Exit Non-MiCA Stablecoins

    The European Securities and Markets Authority has urged EU regulators to require crypto firms to exit stablecoin exposure that does not comply with MiCA by Jan. 8, 2027. The guidance covers trading, custody, transfers and investment advice. Firms may provide limited wind-down services, including liquidation, closing trades and withdrawals, under regulatory supervision. The move gives crypto service providers three months to end non-compliant stablecoin activities and align their services with EU rules.

    XRP Price News: Two Charts Point To $50 If XRP Holds Its Retest Zone

    Market analyst Gert van Lagen has outlined a long-term XRP scenario near $50, built on two charts. On the monthly XRP/USD chart, which runs back to 2014, XRP traded near $1.50 on October 6. He points to a large symmetrical triangle formed by a ceiling around $2 to $2.10 and a rising trendline from the 2020 low. XRP pushed through that ceiling in 2024-2025 and traded above $3, then fell back to the same zone. In his model, a hold there could eventually support a move to $50, putting XRP’s market capitalization near $3 trillion. The second chart tracks XRP against Bitcoin. A recovery in the ratio to 0.00011, with Bitcoin at $450,000, works out to about $49.50 per XRP, close to his dollar target.

    Anthropic IPO: Research Firm Values AI Company At $150 Billion, Calls Offering ‘Most Ridiculous Of 2026’

    As Anthropic heads toward a possible $2 trillion Nasdaq valuation, independent research firm New Constructs says the company is worth about $150 billion and calls the planned listing the “most ridiculous IPO of 2026.” It estimates Anthropic would need to earn roughly double Nvidia’s trailing-year net income, which topped $190 billion, to justify that price. Reuters, citing a leaked prospectus, reported 2025 revenue of $4.6 billion and a net loss of $42 billion. Founder David Trainer, a known IPO bear, said open-source models make it hard for closed models to turn a profit and concluded, “We don’t think Anthropic has a viable business.” His record is mixed. He correctly flagged WeWork in 2019, but his 2020 pick, DoorDash, has since grown to an $83 billion market cap.

    Starknet Considers Becoming An L1 To Build A Quantum-Resistant Network By 2027

    Starknet said it is actively considering becoming a Layer 1 blockchain, a move that would let it become the first fully quantum-resistant network, with 2027 as the target. Eli Ben-Sasson of Starknet said two threats call for “bunker mode.” The first is quantum computing, which he says may be much closer than expected. The second is AI, which he says is growing more powerful than people can process, and he asked who would bet on how long it takes before AI breaks something currently considered safe. He said a future-proofed chain needs the right cryptography, crypto agility and L1 status.

    Ripple Vs Wall Street Banks: Why The Wall Street Journal Calls It A Major Competitor

    The Wall Street Journal reports that Ripple, already active across stablecoins, custody, cross-border payments and prime brokerage, is now edging into Wall Street’s own turf and becoming a “major competitor” to banks. One XRP supporter says the WSJ piece shows Ripple quietly becoming a prime intermediary in the leveraged-ETF market, earning daily swap spreads from funds that lag their benchmarks for anyone holding them longer than a session. The supporter also argues post-crisis bank rules left that high-fee niche open to non-banks.

    CLARITY Act News: French Hill Says SEC And CFTC Rules “Fall Short,” Eyes Lame Duck Vote

    House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill says rules from the SEC and CFTC “fall short” of the permanent changes the CLARITY Act would deliver, and he hopes Congress can pass the bill in the lame duck session before the new Congress begins in 2027. “I still have hope,” he told Fox Business, saying the bill is needed to ensure “America is number one in digital assets.” Senator Cynthia Lummis added a new line of attack on Democrats. She said they demanded that exchanges prove they can access and transfer customers’ private keys, a provision missing from the House version but written into the Senate’s CLARITY Act, and then voted no on the bill. She framed the vote as a rejection of real safeguards for consumer funds.

    Nvidia Stock Price Today: SpaceX Seeks $40 Billion In Debt To Buy Nvidia AI Chips

    SpaceX (SPCX) is looking to borrow $40 billion to pay for Nvidia (NVDA) AI chips, the Financial Times reported. About $10 billion would come from bank loans and $30 billion from investment-grade bonds. Apollo Global Management is expected to lead the deal and sell the debt to investors, with Pimco among the lenders in talks. Closing is not expected until 2027. The raise equals roughly 1.8% of SpaceX’s market value of about $2.17 trillion. SpaceX closed Tuesday at $171.92, up $23.29 in five days, or about 15%, though still roughly 24% below its 52-week high of $225.64. Elon Musk has said SpaceX will build its data centers only on Nvidia hardware, and that xAI’s Colossus 2 could run more than twice as many Nvidia chips by December.
