SEC issues non-binding guidance, clarifying that encrypted token buybacks, network activity, and staked credential tokens will not automatically be deemed securities.
Common on-chain mechanisms like buybacks and staking are temporarily loosened. The project teams have expanded flexibility in token model design, and compliance pressure for such activities is clearly eased.
River latest statistics show that more publicly listed companies are currently holding `$BTC `.
At the corporate level, these asset allocation moves have been ongoing throughout the entire bear market.
Corporate funds have already placed Bitcoin into the framework of conventional reserve assets, and institutional-level buying and holding are becoming the norm.
With this transaction, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings have now reached 847,666 BTC.
The whale is still sweeping in one direction. This level of buying pressure is still pushing forward, and the spot support base on the market is getting thicker; based on the current situation, $BTC will likely continue to rise in the larger trend.
Reports say Iran has agreed to stop uranium enrichment in exchange for the United States lifting sanctions. Affected by this news, the price of $BTC surged rapidly.
As geopolitical tensions cooled, macro-level anxiety eased. The demand for safe-haven assets weakened, and money flowed back into risk assets again. The crypto market directly benefited from this as well.
Encrypted KOLs shout out a new target, saying that in this cycle, when `$BTC ` reaches $200,000, they’ll buy a Bugatti.
The target price is now directly linked to a top-tier supercar. Bullish sentiment has already been pushed to extremely high levels. Such exaggerated calls suggest the market is currently severely overheated.
On Kalshi prediction markets, most bets still point to $BTC falling to $57,000 this year.
This is not a definitive forecast; it just indicates that mid-term bearish sentiment has been priced in, suggesting weaker confidence in the current price level.
Michael Saylor is again hinting at buying more `$BTC `—MicroStrategy’s next purchase order is likely already on the way.
Expectations that MicroStrategy will continue to accumulate remain in the market. This “open card” type of buy-side action directly supports overall market sentiment.
Spot XRP ETF saw net inflows of $76 million last week, setting the best single-week performance since late August. The total assets under management are now $1.77 billion.
These products currently hold $XRP 1.8% of the total supply. Continued buying through compliant channels is locking the tokens into traditional structures, and the external circulating float is indeed shrinking.
The counterfeit coin dominance has broken through a downtrend line that has lasted for 57 months, and the market has begun to anticipate a rally of 100% to 500%.
The long-term suppression has run its course; capital preferences for altcoins have clearly rebounded, and the channel for broader-market profit overflow has already been opened.
The Bank of Russia announced that starting from October 5, the registration of cryptocurrency exchanges and custodial institutions will be officially opened, with the new rules taking effect on the same day.
More supplementary rules are expected to be finalized by the end of October.
Russia has begun to clearly license cryptocurrency firms. The compliance channels for major countries are opening up, bringing crypto assets into a formal regulatory framework—overall, this is a clear policy positive.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has officially called for the addition of regulatory rules for crypto lending under the MiCA framework. Companies that provide access channels connecting DeFi lending protocols are also recommended to be brought under supervision.
The EBA proposes that the European Commission should give priority consideration to suitability testing, leverage limits, and stricter information disclosure.
Limiting leverage means that the capital efficiency of crypto lending in the EU will decline directly. The regulatory net is tightening around DeFi front-end entry points, and companies that provide on-chain lending channels are likely to face a wave of compliance cost reshuffling.
On September 15, 2026, Alliance 联创 Qiao Wang tagged Zcash on the Good Game Podcast: “a Bitcoin that can be changed.” Its core advantage is its ability to adapt to new trends.
By comparing `$ZEC ` with `$BTC `, the focus is on the iterability of the underlying network, indicating that its market appeal is trying to move in the direction of an upgradeable version of Bitcoin.
Hedera has submitted the open-source cross-ledger protocol (CLPR) for decentralized trust to the Linux Foundation. With state proofs, different blockchains can directly verify each other, and cross-network asset, data, and information transfers no longer need to rely on cross-chain bridges or wrapped tokens.
Cross-chain bridges have long been a hotspot for security incidents. By using state proofs for underlying direct connections, it shows that cross-chain interoperability is trying to move away from reliance on third-party bridges and wrapped assets, shifting toward native inter-chain verification.
The North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group is suspected to be behind this Bitget hack. In 2025, it was that organization which reportedly stole $1.5 billion from Bybit.
They’ve continued to target leading firms in succession, and attacks of this level of targeting are still ongoing. Faced with nation-state–level hacking capabilities, the asset defense costs of centralized platforms have been forced up to a new scale.
