Currently, institutions hold 17.9% of the total market capitalization of HYPE, which is the highest proportion among Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

Jiang Zhuoer, the founder of Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), stated that the most likely scenario for Bitcoin is to first sweep up to the liquidation zone at the 76k high, with ETH simultaneously testing around the 2665 liquidation. After clearing 76k, there are two possible subsequent scenarios: a) a rebound before hitting 75k, which would make it more likely to rise back to 80k, or even touch the high resistance area of 83~84k, before starting a major correction; b) if it effectively breaks below 75k, it will trigger a correction corresponding to the previous rise from 64k, expected to reach 70~72k, before entering the next phase of the bull market.Jiang Zhuoer believes that the upcoming voting on the bill and news from the Federal Reserve may become key catalysts, thus maintaining a neutral position with full BTC short positions and full ETH spot holdings.

According to Whale Alert monitoring, at 21:25 Beijing time, USDC Treasury minted approximately 111 million USDC on the Ethereum chain.

After the CPI was announced yesterday, Ethereum briefly surged nearly 10%, quickly rising from $2433 to $2667. According to analyst alicharts, this short-term spike was driven by whales, during which the number of Ethereum transactions worth over $1 million increased by nearly 14%.However, alicharts also stated that Ethereum is now approaching a major resistance level. Previously, over 10 million ETH were traded between $2700 and $2800, forming a significant supply barrier. This is the key range that whales must break through for Ethereum to rise to $3000.

According to SoSoValue data, the total net inflow of Ethereum spot ETFs is $216 million. The Ethereum spot ETF with the highest net inflow in a single day is Blackrock ETF ETHA, with a single-day net inflow of $149 million. Currently, the historical total net inflow of ETHA has reached $13.013 billion.The second is Bitwise ETF ETHW, with a single-day net inflow of $29.0871 million. Currently, the historical total net inflow of ETHW has reached $427 million.As of the time of publication, the total net asset value of Ethereum spot ETFs is $16.305 billion, and the ETF net asset ratio (the market value relative to the total market value of Ethereum) is 5.28%. The historical cumulative net inflow has reached $13.39 billion.

F2Pool co-founder and stakefish founder Wang Chun tweeted that Oleksii Trofimchuk filed a lawsuit against Lido Finance and stakefish on September 8 in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, accusing them of allowing competing MEV bots to submit high-priority fee transactions to claim the ETH after his wallet was hacked.

According to Greeks.live, options delivery data shows that 29,000 BTC options are set to expire, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.6, a maximum pain point of $78,000, and a nominal value of $2.24 billion. 114,000 ETH options are set to expire, with a Put Call Ratio of 1.17, a maximum pain point of $2,450, and a nominal value of $280 million.Analysis indicates that Bitcoin continues to fluctuate around $80,000, having surged to $80,000 over three days in late last month, and has been consolidating for nearly three weeks now. The monthly realized volatility (RV) remains unchanged compared to last week, while the monthly implied volatility (IV) has slightly increased, with a general rise in the volatility risk premium (VRP). From other major options data, 7% of options are set to expire this week, with BTC and ETH open interest slightly declining compared to last week, and overall trading activity has also seen a certain pullback. The cryptocurrency market has experienced a 10-month bear market, with the main altcoins' gains concentrated in a week last month; however, during the pullback period, some concept coins and memes have shown signs of recovery, which is a positive signal. The brief calm in the U.S. stock market has also provided a breathing window for the crypto market, creating a very optimistic market atmosphere. Currently, the monthly out-of-the-money IV is not high, making it worthwhile to consider some directional buys.

According to Farside Investors monitoring, yesterday Bitcoin ETF had a net outflow of 282.7 million USD, among which ARKB had a net outflow of 164.3 million USD, GBTC had a net outflow of 36.4 million USD, and FBTC had a net outflow of 33.6 million USD.Ethereum ETF had a net outflow of 29.9 million USD, among which FETH and ETHA had net outflows of 25.2 million USD and 18.6 million USD respectively, while ETHB and ETH had net inflows of 13.9 million USD and 7.7 million USD respectively.

According to Cryptopolitan, over 100 researchers, using AI coding agents, have reduced the quantum attack resource score for the Bitcoin secp256k1 elliptic curve point addition subroutine by 86.1% (from 10.75 billion to 1.496 billion). This optimization only targets a single step in Shor's algorithm and does not break any private keys or transfer funds; a complete attack still requires fault-tolerant quantum hardware that does not yet exist. However, each efficiency improvement compresses the time window for quantum migration after blockchain completion.According to Glassnode data, approximately 6.04 million BTC (30.2% of the circulating supply) face potential quantum risks due to exposed public keys on-chain. Ethereum plans to achieve full quantum resistance by December 2029, while the Bitcoin community faces greater challenges at the governance level, including how to handle approximately 1.7 million suspected dormant P2PK address coins held by Satoshi, which remains unresolved.

According to a report by Christine D. Kim, Ethereum developers confirmed at the ACDC #186 meeting that the Glamsterdam upgrade will be activated on the Sepolia testnet on October 6 at 13:53 UTC. However, there is significant uncertainty regarding this upgrade—currently, the latest private testnet Glamsterdam-Devnet-9 is not stable, and a serious vulnerability has been discovered in the consensus layer that could cause the entire network to stop producing blocks. The execution layer EIP-8037 also has bugs that need to be fixed.Developers will launch Devnet-10 in the coming weeks, and if Devnet-10 remains unstable, the Sepolia upgrade date may be postponed. The activation schedule for the Hoodi testnet and mainnet is currently undetermined, and whether the goal of launching the mainnet by the end of the year can be achieved remains uncertain.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has received authorization from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) under the Regulation 48.1 framework to open its Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual contracts to U.S. institutional investors. KC Lam, Head of Crypto Derivatives at SGX Group, stated that previously U.S. participants were unable to trade these contracts, but they are now permitted direct access to its trading system.Since its launch at the end of November 2025, SGX's crypto perpetual contracts have accumulated a trading volume of $5.8 billion (approximately 400,000 lots), with an average daily trading volume of 1,300 lots ($19 million) as of August. Bitcoin accounts for 66% of open contracts and 83% of average daily trading volume, with a single-day peak trading volume of 11,500 lots (notional value of $145 million). Lam indicated that as the FIS backend integration is fully ready, they will assist U.S. clearing members in onboarding clients in the next month or two.Unlike crypto-native platforms, SGX's perpetual contracts have no expiration date but employ a margin call and collateral top-up mechanism instead of automatic liquidation, separating trading and clearing based on traditional futures market infrastructure. Stablecoins are not accepted as collateral, and the contract benchmark index is jointly developed by SGX and CoinDesk Indices. SGX's next step is to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum futures and options.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of Commerce has allocated up to $100 million each to three quantum computing companies: Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantinuum, totaling up to $300 million, to expand hardware, manufacturing, and error correction systems, while simultaneously acquiring minority stakes in the three companies.Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum developers are accelerating the advancement of post-quantum cryptography upgrade plans. The Ethereum Foundation has set December 2029 as the deadline for the base layer quantum resistance upgrade, covering the execution layer, consensus layer, and data layer; although there is no unified timeline for Bitcoin, proposals BIP-360 (post-quantum output types) and BIP-361 (phasing out ECDSA and Schnorr signatures) have been accelerated, with researchers also viewing 2029 as a critical window for completing a trustworthy migration path.

Ethlabs stated that it has reviewed over 60 EIPs proposed for the Ethereum Hegotá upgrade and updated its priority recommendations, focusing on four areas: censorship resistance, transaction confirmation speed, native account abstraction, and performance optimization.Specifically, Ethlabs supports FOCIL to enhance Ethereum's censorship resistance and neutrality; it recommends shortening time slots for the first time in the Hegotá upgrade through Quick Slots and creating conditions for further reductions in the future; it supports achieving native account abstraction through Frame Transactions, introducing passkey wallets, transaction delegation, using tokens to pay Gas, batch transactions, as well as better privacy and quantum security support. Additionally, Ethlabs emphasizes that client and protocol design should continuously prioritize performance, using optimization results to increase L1 capacity, shorten time slots, and reduce node operation requirements.

Scroll Governance Forum posted that the team will recently apply AI extensively in operations and product development. Previously, core chain operations required over 20 engineers, but now it is completed by fewer dedicated engineers in conjunction with AI agents, while maintaining existing usability and security standards. The team believes that blockchain can provide a trusted coordination layer to define and execute rules, and ZK can help agents interact with credentials, private data, and computations without exposing underlying information.The team is building an interconnected product stack: Compass is an iOS application that can access the large models and functions provided by the Compass API, and includes VPN and eSIM; Compass API is the AI routing infrastructure, connecting over 30 large models; CENO provides a trust layer through ZK, protecting credentials, agent context, and privacy computations; USX is used for payments and settlements; SCR continues to coordinate governance; the Scroll network serves as a trust and coordination layer. CENO has reached out to over 30 potential clients, of which 12 are participating in proof of concept testing.The team plans to gradually transform Scroll from a general public chain into a dedicated network centered around Compass and the AI product stack, with an overall transition expected to take about nine months. According to the current plan, SCR will migrate to the Ethereum mainnet to maintain accessibility and liquidity, with supply and token economics remaining unchanged, and will continue to serve as a governance token. This post is only a progress update, not an official proposal or vote, and further proposals regarding the network transformation and matters requiring DAO approval will be made separately.

The Compound Foundation announced the launch of the Institutional Market, a lending market exclusively for whitelisted institutions, supporting borrowing of ETH, wstETH, WBTC, and cbBTC with USDC, with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 87%. On its first day of launch, the market was oversubscribed, with participation from institutions such as DeFi Saver, K3/Nexo, KPK, and Yearn. The entry threshold is a deposit of 100,000 USDC, and Compound has reserved 200,000 USDC as supplier incentives, which will be proportionally distributed to whitelisted participants within three months, with a supply cap of 20 million USD.This market is the first product to be launched from the 52 million USD plan approved by the Compound DAO in August, described by the foundation as the Institutional Comet built on v3.5, independent of the DAO-funded V4 roadmap. Compound stated that v3 has been running for four years without any incidents. Currently, Compound's total locked value is 1.53 billion USD, with 1.42 billion USD on the Ethereum chain, ranking sixth among lending protocols on DefiLlama, with a 23% growth over the past 30 days.The Compound Foundation was relaunched on August 17 with a budget of 52 million USD, with a team from Coinbase, Anchorage, NEAR, and Maple.

The Ethereum Foundation stated on the X platform that the Trezor hardware wallet now supports the "Clear Signing" feature through the ERC-7730 standard, making transactions more readable and understandable on the hardware device.This progress is the result of the Clear Signing working group promoted under the foundation's "Trillion Dollar Security Initiative," aimed at reducing the risk of users suffering asset losses due to "blind signing" of unclear transactions and encouraging more wallets and decentralized applications to participate.
