Bitcoin fell a compounded 3.24% during Wall Street’s 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. New York sessions from Sept. 21 to Oct. 7, while gaining 6.07% outside that window, CryptoSlate’s analysis of Binance data shows.
Sept. 30 and Oct. 2 drove the loss. Excluding them leaves a 1.28% gain, but starting the window at 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. turns that into a loss. The data does not identify who sold.
BitMine needs about 88,600 more ETH to hold 5% of Ethereum’s supply, based on its Oct. 4 holdings and the supply figure in its disclosure. Chairman Tom Lee says buying will stop at that threshold.
At the latest disclosed pace of 15,112 ETH a week, the gap would take roughly six weeks to close. This is a projection, not company guidance; changes in Ethereum’s supply or buying pace would alter it.
Bitcoin’s seven-day average daily spot and US ETF trading volume was about $6.8B through Oct. 6, lower than on 90% of days since January 2024, according to Glassnode.
On Oct. 4, profitable short-term holders accounted for about 86% of coins sent to exchanges, the highest share in a year. Those transfers show potential selling pressure; they do not confirm completed sales.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned against rushing wallet migrations over AI-driven cryptography fears. No practical break of ECDSA has been demonstrated.
He says AI could also weaken some post-quantum defenses, including lattice-based systems. The Lean Ethereum roadmap favors hash-based designs where possible, but public-key encryption cannot rely on hashes alone.
Arkham reports that US government wallets moved about $470 million in seized Bitcoin, wrapped Bitcoin and USDT to likely Coinbase Prime addresses.
The transfer does not confirm a sale. Assets linked to the Bitfinex ha*ck and Alameda Research may face victim-repayment obligations, and seized Bitcoin is not automatically part of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake urged crypto holders to prepare for “bunker mode” after OpenAI’s new math results. Breaking crypto security within months is a worst-case conjecture; no practical attack on ECDSA or RSA has been demonstrated.
He favors controlled moves to addresses with hidden public keys and warns against rushing. Protection depends on address type: Bitcoin Taproot addresses expose a public key from the outset.
💰 BTC tapped support right at $82.8K and immediately bounced. There was even a chance to catch some falling knives. 👀
For anyone getting bored, you could look for a bounce entry. There are still plenty of bids sitting below, roughly $300M in buy orders around $81K–$83K. 📊 #btcupdates $BTC
I’d take this as a spot trade, ideally near $0.040. From there, the first target alone offers 2:1 reward-to-risk before fees, so I don’t need the full move to $0.078 to make it worthwhile.
Crypto lending-vault deposits grew from $1.5 billion to about $10 billion in two years, according to S&P.
Its new framework weighs factors including curator decisions, liquidity and smart-contract security. The grades are opinions on relative impairment risk, not credit ratings or guarantees that investors will recover their capital.
