    Charles Hoskinson Predicts Midnight Crypto Could Surpass Zcash

    Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said privacy-focused blockchain Midnight could eventually become bigger than Zcash, citing its privacy technology, AI capabilities, cross-chain functionality and Cardano infrastructure. Hoskinson did not define what he meant by “bigger.” Midnight’s NIGHT token currently has a market capitalization of about $437 million, compared with roughly $26.4 billion for Zcash. Midnight’s mainnet launched in March as a specialized Layer-1 partner chain operating alongside Cardano.

The firm now sees stronger evidence that Meta’s AI investments are translating into competitive progress.

    ZachXBT Says Bitget Hack Funds Are Moving Through Cross-Chain Bridges and Wasabi

    Blockchain investigator ZachXBT said funds from the $387.5 million Bitget hack are being moved across chains and into mixing services including Wasabi. He alleged Chinese illicit actors are laundering the funds on behalf of suspected North Korean attackers and seeking order support through Discord and Telegram channels. ZachXBT also linked an operator known as “Alias 4” to the $292 million KelpDAO exploit earlier this year. He said similar patterns appeared in other TraderTraitor-attributed attacks and plans to release more data in the coming weeks.

    Does Brad Garlinghouse See XRP As Digital Gold? Here’s What He Said

    Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says he sees XRP as a hedge against currency devaluation, but he leaves the digital gold title to Bitcoin. Asked whether Ripple could be viewed as digital gold, Garlinghouse first separated the company from the token, a habit he says stuck after the US lawsuit. “I view XRP as a hedge,” he said. His bullish case rests on distrust of government money management. “You can’t trust governments to manage monetary supply in an expert way,” he said, noting the dollar has lost about 30% of its value in five years and more than 90% over 30 to 40 years. He expects more capital to flow into non-inflationary assets, including gold and crypto.

    Why Is Bitcoin Price Going Down Today?

    Bitcoin slipped to $83,076.05, down 1.4% over 24 hours, as a wave of selling hit global markets. Over $550 billion was wiped out from gold and silver in just three hours, while Chinese stocks lost more than ¥1.21 trillion ($181 billion) as the Shanghai index fell 1.75% and the CSI 300 dropped to its lowest level in 12 months. Geopolitical tension added to the pressure. Iran said it is ready for “real diplomacy” with the US but remains prepared for “an apocalyptic war” if attacked, according to Al Jazeera. The dip follows a strong stretch. Bitcoin had just posted its highest weekly close in eight months above $84,000, leaving it up 45% from its June low, and remains up 2.2% over the past week.

    XRP Price Analysis for Today 28th Sept

    XRP gained 7.53% during the week but faced heavy selling toward the end of the period following reports of the D’CENT wallet hack and the XRP stolen from Bitget. The security incidents may weigh on market sentiment in the near term. Based on the current price action, XRP could continue trading between $1.30 and $1.60 before a new trend develops. Traders will watch whether XRP can hold the lower end of the range while facing resistance near $1.60.

    BTC, ETH and XRP Brace For Packed Week Of US Economic Data And Fed Clues

    A heavy data calendar could decide whether the Fed hikes again in October, with markets pricing a 64% chance of a 25 basis point increase. The week opens Tuesday with August JOLTS job openings and September consumer confidence, followed Wednesday by core PCE inflation and Q2 GDP, Thursday’s ISM manufacturing PMI, and Friday’s September jobs report. The Bank of Japan’s policy minutes land Monday and could shape global bond markets if they hint at further hikes. Hotter readings could push October hike odds higher, while softer numbers would ease pressure. More than 20 Fed speakers, including Chair Kevin Warsh, are also scheduled, alongside earnings from Micron and Nike, testing whether the economy can absorb higher rates without slowing.

    Global Money Supply Hits Record $103.66 Trillion

    Global money supply has hit an all-time high of $103.66 trillion, with the Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan and PBOC alone adding $1 trillion in August, marking the 10th consecutive monthly increase. More money in circulation typically flows into assets like stocks, gold and Bitcoin. Separately, Iran’s oil exports have collapsed from roughly 2 million barrels a day in March to just 220,000-255,000 barrels by August, sharply cutting its export revenue and squeezing China’s access to discounted Iranian crude. With the Strait of Hormuz still heavily disrupted, Asian buyers are shifting to US crude instead, South Korea bought a record 1.1 million barrels a day in May, Japan took around 602,000, and total US crude exports hit a record 5.6 million barrels a day.

    From Tokyo To Washington, Bond Yields Are Breaking Records

    Bond yields surged across the world this week, with Japan’s 10-year yield climbing to 3.08%, its highest level since 1996, despite the Bank of Japan raising rates to 1.25% earlier this month. US yields also hit their highest level since 2007 before easing slightly Friday, alongside Japan, though both remain near this week’s peaks. Other major economies saw similar spikes: the UK at 5.36%, Germany at 3.61%, France at 4.68%, India at 7.12%, and Canada at 3.93%. China stood out as the exception, with yields falling to 1.68%.

    $83 Million In Stolen XRP From Bitget Hack Moving On-Chain

    More than $83 million worth of XRP stolen in the Bitget hack is now being moved by the attacker. Since Ripple has no ability to freeze wallets on the XRP Ledger, exchanges remain one of the few points where the stolen funds could potentially be intercepted before cashing out. Roughly $75 million of the stolen XRP still sits untouched in the original wallets.

    XRP Price Analysis: Open Interest Drops 3x Faster Than Price

    XRP has pulled back roughly 5%, falling from a local high of $1.66 to around $1.57, according to analyst Cryptoinsightuk. But open interest has dropped far more sharply, down about 10% in coin terms and 15% in dollar terms, a mismatch between price and leverage. Spot volume has also risen considerably, meaning buyers are stepping in around current levels even as leveraged long positions get flushed out at a rate exceeding the price decline itself. The analyst called this a potentially encouraging sign, arguing it points to weaker, over-leveraged hands exiting the market while longer-term investors accumulate the underlying asset.

    XRP escrow and the IMF: Old theory resurfaces with fresh claim, still no evidence

    A crypto commentator on X has claimed that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is taking control of Ripple’s XRP escrow. Neither the IMF nor Ripple has confirmed any such arrangement. “We see the lender of last resort, The IMF, taking control of the XRP escrow. Ripple is too small to be so big to handle this by themselves,” the post read, adding that Ripple has been “invited in to the houses of power.” The post offered no documents or on-chain data to support the claim. The escrow sits on the XRP Ledger, where its balances are publicly visible, and Ripple controls its monthly releases. Similar IMF escrow claims surfaced in 2025 and were never backed by public records.

    Fed Plans To Ease Oversight For Large Banks

    The Fed is preparing to raise asset thresholds that trigger tougher bank regulation, according to Reuters. The highest threshold could rise from $700 billion to around $960 billion, while some requirements currently starting at $100 billion could shift closer to $150 billion. The changes would give regional banks more room to grow without added regulatory costs and could unlock a new wave of bank M&A.

    Bitget CEO Says Exchange Can Absorb $300M+ Loss After Hack

    About $350 million was stolen from Bitget on September 24, according to CEO Gracy Chen. She said the exchange can absorb the loss and handle a potential surge in withdrawals when they resume. Chen compared Bitget’s retail trading volume with Bybit’s, saying that if Bybit could withstand a $1.5 billion loss, Bitget could manage a loss of more than $300 million. Some public chains have frozen stolen funds, while recovery efforts continue, although Chen does not expect a full recovery.

    XRP Ledger Sees Record 11,432 New Accounts

    The XRP Ledger recorded 11,432 new accounts on September 24, more than three times its 30-day average of about 2,700–3,000. The spike came as XRP rose from $1.40 to $1.60, alongside higher whale activity and institutional positioning. However, new account creation does not confirm new users, as exchange funding, custody migrations and other activity can produce similar spikes. Upcoming XRPL upgrades, including Batch V1.1 and PermissionDelegationV1_1, could also be contributing to the increase.

    10-Year Treasury Yield Surges Above 5.20% as Bond Market Faces Pressure

    The 10-year Treasury yield has climbed above 5.20%, its highest level in 19 years, rising nearly 30 basis points in two days. The move comes as September’s flash PMI reached a five-year high, inflation pressures increased and markets priced in a more hawkish Fed. Oil remains near $100, while heavy government borrowing is adding pressure to the bond market. The 10-year yield influences mortgage rates, corporate borrowing and asset valuations, increasing financial pressure as borrowing costs rise.

    Evercrest (KelpDAO) Files Civil Claim Against LayerZero and CEO Bryan Pellegrino

    Evercrest (KelpDAO) has filed a civil claim in British Columbia against LayerZero and CEO Bryan Pellegrino over the April 2026 rsETH bridge exploit. KelpDAO alleges LayerZero failed to disclose technology risks or prevent its security infrastructure from being compromised after reviewing and approving KelpDAO’s deployment and configuration in writing. The exploit resulted in about 116,500 rsETH, worth roughly $292 million at the time, being stolen. Pellegrino called the claims meritless and said he would defend the case in Vancouver.

    Binance Records Largest Bitcoin Outflow Since 2023

    Bitcoin’s rally has coincided with heavy BTC outflows from Binance. The exchange recorded more than 13,800 BTC in net outflows in a single day, its largest since 2023. Over four days, Binance’s BTC reserves fell from 705,000 to 685,000 BTC. Weekly netflows have averaged about -2,000 BTC. The decline in exchange-held Bitcoin may reduce available selling supply, while the outflows suggest more investors are moving BTC into self-custody. Binance holds about 30% of Bitcoin available across major platforms.

    Fed’s Rate Hike Sends Mortgage Rates To Highest Level Since 2023

    The Federal Reserve’s latest 25 basis point rate hike is rippling through markets far beyond what the size of the move suggests. According to The Kobeissi Letter, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled the central bank remains firmly committed to its 2% inflation target regardless of political pressure, and markets are now pricing in a full 100 basis points of additional hikes by next summer. Bond markets have reacted sharply, trading as though the Fed should have raised rates by 50 basis points instead of 25. An attempted intervention by the US Treasury barely moved the needle, a sign Kobeissi called a major shift in sentiment. The average 30-year mortgage rate jumped 17 basis points to 7.45%, its highest level since November 2023.

    Bitcoin Price Holds $84K, Yet Its Own Signals Are Fighting Each Other

    Bitcoin is trading near $84,000, up from $76,500 a week ago, though a widely watched market model shows little conviction behind the move. According to Axel Adler Jr, the Bitcoin Regime Score briefly touched Strong Bull territory twice this week, hitting +52 on September 19 and +64 on September 22, before drifting back near zero both times. Confidence in that score has also weakened, falling from 50% to 22% over the past 24 hours, close to its monthly low of 19%. A low reading means bullish and bearish signals are roughly canceling out, not that the market is calm. Bitcoin remains 3.7% below its monthly high of $87,200, with no clear directional signal in place right now.
