CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the ETF engine has hardly operated this year, with net inflows close to zero from the beginning of the year to now, yet Bitcoin has only dropped 7%. In the context of weak ETF demand while prices remain strong, the likelihood of OG whales or miners selling off in large quantities seems low; those who wanted to sell may have already done so.Ki Young Ju expects that once the uncertainty of the U.S. midterm elections dissipates and ETF capital inflows resume, bullish momentum will return.

Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated at a press conference that the situation of U.S. inflation being above the committee's target has persisted for nearly six years, and this FOMC discussion primarily focused on price stability.He pointed out that in recent weeks, energy and related prices have risen again, and the Federal Reserve must prevent relative price changes in specific areas from spreading throughout the economy and ensure that inflation expectations remain anchored.

According to The Block, as the U.S. midterm elections approach, the digital asset industry may face changes in the congressional political landscape. Over the past two years, the Republican-led Congress passed the stablecoin bill GENIUS Act and advanced the broader Clarity Act; the latter passed the House in 2025 but stalled in the Senate due to controversies over stablecoin rewards and ethical issues raised by former President Trump's crypto wealth. Prediction market Kalshi shows that the probability of the Democrats winning the Senate and the House is 64% and 90%, respectively.The chair of congressional committees holds the power to set the agenda. If the Democrats regain the Senate, Elizabeth Warren will become the chair of the Senate Banking Committee. Ron Hammond, head of policy and advocacy at Wintermute, expects that she will actively use subpoena power and may focus on scrutinizing the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's approvals of new bank charters for Ripple, Coinbase, and World Liberty Financial, which is supported by the Trump family.The election situation in Ohio is also under scrutiny, with former Senate Banking Committee chair Sherrod Brown facing pro-crypto Republican Jon Husted. Fairshake PAC has pledged $30 million to support Husted. Hammond stated that if Brown wins, he may become the chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, which could potentially shelve related crypto legislation. In the House Financial Services Committee, regardless of whether Maxine Waters, Sean Casten, or Bill Foster leads, the Clarity Act is unlikely to advance. Lindsay Fraser, chief policy officer of the Blockchain Association, stated that while congressional control may change, the demand for clear crypto regulations will not.

CZ's post pointed out that on that day, there were 4 reported data breaches involving Coinbase's third-party vendor Amplitude, the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb, and South Korean securities firms Mirae Asset and Daishin Securities. Among them, the breach related to Amplitude did not affect customer funds.CZ stated that the leaked exchange data was primarily used for phishing, SIM card hijacking, social engineering scams, and wrench attacks. He suggested that all platforms use independent email aliases and dedicated backup numbers, refuse to fill out unnecessary personal information, and use strong independent passwords.CZ also recommended enforcing the use of hardware security keys or passkeys, completely disabling SMS 2FA, enabling withdrawal address whitelists, withdrawal time locks, and anti-phishing codes, regularly cleaning API keys and active sessions, and requesting number porting locks from carriers. He also reminded that all customer service contacts that reach out proactively are scammers, and never to click on external links.

According to Salus monitoring, the CryptoBilis attackers deposited 1,200 ETH, approximately 2.78 million USD, into Tornado Cash on October 27, 18 days after a large-scale wallet theft incident.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is once again investigating the prediction market platform Polymarket to determine whether it has violated the 2022 settlement agreement, focusing on whether it has taken adequate measures to prevent U.S. users from accessing the main overseas platform. This review is part of a broader investigation initiated by the CFTC earlier this year, involving user geographic location identification mechanisms, advertising activities in the U.S. market, as well as the customer account opening processes and protective measures of U.S. platforms.According to the 2022 settlement agreement, Polymarket agreed to cease providing services to U.S. users. In 2024, the CFTC and the U.S. Department of Justice conducted investigations, which concluded in 2025 without any charges being filed; thereafter, Polymarket gradually returned to the U.S. market through the acquisition of a licensed derivatives exchange. Polymarket previously stated that it has strengthened geographic restrictions, prohibiting circumvention through methods such as VPNs, and established monitoring mechanisms. There is currently no information indicating that the CFTC has filed formal charges regarding this investigation.

Famous American angel investor and co-host of the All-In podcast, Jason Calacanis, urged his fans to sell Bitcoin and invest in artificial intelligence instead.He stated on Tuesday that the brutal year for Bitcoin has just begun and made three predictions: the outflow of funds from Bitcoin ETFs will continue; within the next 12 months, the price of Bitcoin will test the low of $57,000 again; Bitcoin will never break its all-time high again.Jason Calacanis said, "Sell Bitcoin directly and turn to the field of superintelligence. The former has almost no value, while the latter can bring unlimited upside potential for humanity."

The vulnerability bounty platform Immunefi's CEO Mitchell Amador warned that internet users still face the risk of cyberattacks triggered by PHP vulnerabilities, especially small websites that are slow to adopt emergency upgrades, which may take weeks to patch. He stated, "The vulnerability apocalypse" is coming as planned, where the cost of discovering vulnerabilities becomes cheap while the cost of fixing them remains high. He advised users to treat any websites they log into in the coming weeks as potentially compromised, avoid reusing passwords, exercise caution when connecting to encrypted wallets, and revoke token authorizations that are unrecognizable.Previously, the PHP Foundation admitted that it delayed fixing a critical security vulnerability first discovered in 2024 due to resource shortages. PHP developers released emergency patches for two critical vulnerabilities on the same day, but each website still needs to complete the upgrade on its own. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince stated that within 24 hours of the PHP vulnerability being publicly disclosed, the web recorded millions of exploitation attempts, with thousands of attempts even before the disclosure. According to W3Techs, PHP supports about 69% of websites with known server-side programming languages, and these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to spread malware or inject malicious scripts into websites.The FBI's Cyber Division also warned that these vulnerabilities could allow malicious actors to "remotely execute code in the PHP core, potentially compromising sensitive data and networks." Amador warned in an interview with Cointelegraph in June that the proliferation of cutting-edge AI models has changed the cybersecurity landscape, giving attackers an advantage, leading to the emergence of the "vulnerability apocalypse," and triggering a resurgence of DeFi hacking attacks. Immunefi is the world's largest vulnerability bounty platform, having paid out $140 million in bounties to 650 protocols to date.

CryptoQuant certified analyst Trader_Gemini stated that the Trader On-chain Realized Price has risen again, currently becoming an important reference indicator for observing the subsequent trend of BTC. This indicator reflects the average acquisition price of BTC that last transferred in the past 1 to 3 months and can be used to measure the average holding cost of recent market participants. Currently, the trading price of BTC is in the low range of $80,000, while the realized price for traders has risen to the mid-range of $70,000, indicating that the current price of BTC is still above the recent average cost for traders.From the current structure, recent market participants are generally still in a state of unrealized profit, and the short to medium-term cost structure remains relatively positive. Historically, when the market is in an upward phase, the realized price for traders often provides support when BTC retraces close to that level. If the price can hold above this cost line, it indicates that the holding cost for recent participants may still provide support for the market; conversely, if BTC falls below this level, some traders in an unrealized loss state may sell when the price rebounds close to their cost, turning that position from support to resistance.In addition, Trader_Gemini also reminded to pay attention to the Upper Band of the indicator. Historically, when BTC prices approach the upper band, it is often accompanied by increased profit-taking pressure, which may lead to a short-term pullback. Therefore, if BTC continues to rise, the market reaction near the upper band is worth close observation; if BTC experiences a pullback, attention should be paid to whether the realized price for traders can provide effective support. Trader_Gemini emphasized that the upper band does not necessarily mean the market will peak, and the realized price for traders does not guarantee that BTC will rebound; neither should be viewed as automatic triggers for trading but rather as reference indicators for judging at what price recent market participants may change their behavior. Currently, BTC is still operating above the realized price for traders, and the overall cost structure remains positive; if a deeper adjustment occurs later, whether this indicator can continue to provide support will become an important observation point.

According to the official announcement, the Gate event market has officially launched a macro market special page, focusing on core topics such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions, inflation, employment, economic growth, U.S. Treasury yields, and economic recession, displaying event probabilities, trading volumes, and market expectations through a visual dashboard.

According to a Goldman Sachs report, the Federal Reserve is expected to pause interest rate hikes at the October meeting, but may implement the last rate hike of this cycle in December. Goldman Sachs pointed out that since September, the financial conditions index has tightened by about 30 basis points, which is insufficient to replace further rate hikes; the market should not interpret the tightening of financial conditions as a signal that the rate hike cycle is about to end.Goldman Sachs expects that as the impacts of tariffs, energy shocks, and AI-related price pressures gradually dissipate, U.S. inflation will improve by 2027, and under the baseline scenario, the Federal Reserve will not raise rates in March 2027. However, if the situation in the Middle East escalates and drives oil prices further up, the inflationary pressures may still change the subsequent policy path.
