CryptoQuant analyst CoinNiel stated that as of October 27 (UTC), Bitcoin exchange outflows indicate an improvement in supply conditions, but the evidence still supports a neutral stance. The exchange shifted from a net inflow of 7,278 BTC on October 26 to a net outflow of 12,702 BTC on October 27, with net outflows of 4,633 BTC and 4,048 BTC over the past 7 days and 30 days, respectively, although there were inflows recorded on 4 days in the past week.The funding rate is +0.00762%, higher than the 7-day and 30-day averages, indicating a bullish tendency but not overheated; the open interest is $25.67 billion, up 0.56% over 7 days and 0.33% over 30 days. The LTH-SOPR decreased from 1.1657 to 1.0124, close to the breakeven point, but it cannot confirm a decrease in selling volume. CoinNiel stated that he maintains a neutral judgment until a sustained trend of net outflows from exchanges is formed; if net outflows continue and the funding rate and open interest remain stable, it will strengthen a bullish judgment. If net inflows reoccur and both increase significantly, a reassessment will be necessary. Recent net outflows have largely been driven by single-day movements, the funding rate remains positive, and open interest is growing moderately.

Well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that although the current crypto community generally believes that the on-chain trading environment has fallen to historical lows, approximately six new tokens have reached a market capitalization of over 100 million to 300 million dollars in the past four months, and dozens of new tokens have completely diluted valuations (FDV) exceeding 10 million dollars.Among them, tokens such as PONS, ANSEM, CASHCAT, AI, and STONK have all reached FDVs of at least 300 million dollars. Despite the deterioration in market structure, there are still tokens that occasionally experience significant price increases. Compared to the period before the emergence of Robinhood Chain, and the sluggish period after the issuance of the TRUMP token last year, and before the initial rise of BonkFun, the current market is far from reaching its historical worst levels.Although the current market environment is not as bullish as it was a few months ago, it does not mean that on-chain trading opportunities have disappeared. As market sentiment is dominated by pessimistic views, it is expected that the market may soon warm up, with the recovery speed potentially faster than most people's expectations. It is recommended to pay attention to tokens that performed well in the last round of market trends and have high confidence, and consider gradually positioning during pullbacks. Historical experience indicates that some tokens may not only return to previous highs in the next round of increases but may also rise further, and the biggest opportunities in the market often appear before mainstream sentiment shifts.

The Swiss financial regulator FINMA has approved the country's first spot Bitcoin ETF aimed at retail investors, allowing the fund to invest directly in Bitcoin under Swiss investment fund regulations. FINMA stated on Tuesday that this ETF falls under the category of "other alternative investment funds" with specific risks under Swiss law.FINMA noted that Bitcoin has a longer trading history and trading volume far exceeding most other cryptocurrencies, thus allowing for exceptions to the rules requiring fund diversification, and listed safeguards regarding custody, operational risks, and investor disclosures. FINMA had previously approved a crypto fund for qualified investors in 2021, while existing Swiss Bitcoin ETPs are classified as debt securities and not investment funds.

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has approved the country's first Bitcoin ETF aimed at retail investors. This product falls under "other alternative investment funds" according to Swiss law and is labeled as having special risks. FINMA did not disclose the issuer of the fund, but multiple media outlets have indicated that signs suggest it may come from BIT Asset Management (formerly Matrixport Asset Management), and FINMA did not deny this claim in response to inquiries. Additionally, several fund providers have submitted or announced plans to submit Bitcoin ETF applications.The fund is a single-asset product, with all funds directed towards Bitcoin. To this end, FINMA needed to grant an exemption regarding its risk diversification rules, citing that Bitcoin has a long trading history and extremely high trading volume. In terms of asset custody, participating institutions must take measures to prevent operational and custody risks, with standards referenced from the regulatory announcement issued by FINMA on January 12, 2026, which requires that customer crypto assets are not included in bankruptcy assets in the event of the custodian's bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the sales process must comply with Fidleg's conduct rules to provide higher investor protection than direct purchases of cryptocurrencies, and the fund documents must clearly indicate the associated risks.While approving the ETF, FINMA emphasized that even investing in Bitcoin through an approved ETF carries high risks, with severe volatility potentially leading to significant depreciation of the principal invested, and required the issuer to provide clear warnings about volatility and loss risks. The United States has approved Bitcoin spot ETFs starting January 2024, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust launching on January 11, 2024, currently managing approximately $65 billion. The Swiss Exchange has been able to trade Bitcoin products for years, but they have existed in the form of ETPs and do not have fund status; this approved ETF is the first to incorporate Bitcoin into the approved public fund framework.

Metaplanet founder and CEO Simon Gerovich announced that the transaction between Metaplanet and Super League Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLE) has been formally approved at the company's shareholder meeting.This move marks a key step for Metaplanet in transforming from a Bitcoin treasury company to a global Bitcoin-native financial platform.It is reported that Metaplanet injected 2,100 Bitcoins and $2.5 million in cash into the NASDAQ-listed company Super League Enterprise (SLE), with a total value of approximately $134.6 million, in exchange for a controlling stake. In return, Metaplanet received approximately 44.86 million newly issued shares of common stock (at $3 per share), as well as preferred stock and warrants. After the transaction is completed, Metaplanet will hold about 95.7% of SLE's issued common stock, becoming its controlling shareholder.According to Gerovich, after the transaction is completed, Superplanet will serve as Metaplanet's Bitcoin treasury platform listed in the United States, which will enable it to directly access the U.S. capital markets and gain more agile and flexible financing capabilities. Strategically, combined with Metaplanet Securities established in Japan, this approval will provide the company with complementary platforms in the two most important capital markets globally (the U.S. and Japan).This will not only facilitate its international financing and capital allocation but also further advance its business expansion in areas such as Bitcoin treasury, financial services, financial products, and asset management. Gerovich stated that this is a new milestone on Metaplanet's long-term growth path, and the company will continue to update the public on the latest progress regarding the completion of this transaction.

Google Research's open-source AI toolchain self-improvement framework Harness² allows AI Agents to automatically modify system prompts, memories, skills, tool rules, as well as scripts and plugins without retraining the model. The project is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license and supports OpenCode and Codex. Its core mechanism enables the Agent to learn through trial and error, proposing several improvement plans when encountering new tasks, which are then executed and compared by different versions of the Agent, ultimately combining to form a more suitable solution.Even without a standard answer, the system can seek improvement directions based on the actual execution process. After the task is completed, the system remembers which modifications were effective and the reasons for them, for reference in similar future problems. Google tested using GLM-5 and Gemini 3.5 Flash. On WorkBuddy-Bench, GLM-5 paired with OpenCode improved its average score from 64.2 to 75.7 after just one round of optimization, surpassing the unoptimized Gemini 3.5 Flash's score of 72.4.In legal task testing, the pass rate for GLM-5's partial scoring criteria increased from 59.6% to 71.4%. In the experiment, Claude Opus 4.8 was defaulted to propose and implement improvements, while GLM-5 and Gemini were primarily responsible for executing tasks, not relying entirely on their own evolution. Domestic developer Joseph Zhou demonstrated an experiment where Harness² integrated with Jev 1.14, claiming that the performance on visual tasks continuously improved.

According to the Industrial and Commercial Times, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has approved TSMC's first phase plan for the production of advanced semiconductors using 3-nanometer process at its second factory in Kumamoto Prefecture. This will be the first time a manufacturer in Japan produces 3-nanometer chips. TSMC can further expand its production capacity based on additional support from the Japanese government. Kumamoto Prefectural Governor Seiji Kimura stated that this plan will drive a new wave of creative revitalization.The Nikkei reported that the Ministry of Economy has listed the Kumamoto second factory as a recipient of subsidies, with plans to produce 3-nanometer chips, expected to officially start production in December 2028, with final capacity depending on the amount of subsidies. The Ministry will include the budget needed for subsidies in the fiscal year 2027 budget request, with the Japanese government originally planning to provide 732 billion yen in subsidies. The Asahi Shimbun pointed out that the Kumamoto second factory is still under construction and is adjacent to the already operational Kumamoto first factory.Previously, TSMC planned for the second factory to manufacture 6-nanometer and 12-nanometer processes, with a monthly capacity of 48,000 wafers, and planned to produce 40-nanometer chips; in February this year, the plan was changed to 3-nanometer, reducing the monthly capacity to 6,000 wafers. The adjustment plan for the Kumamoto first factory was also approved by the Ministry, with the original plan to produce 55,000 wafers per month covering 22 to 28 nanometers and 12 to 16 nanometers, while the new plan stops production of 12 to 16 nanometers, changing to 45,000 wafers per month for 22 to 28 nanometers.

According to CoinDesk, Paul Atkins, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), issued a statement on October 13, approving the rule change submitted by Cboe Global Markets. This change allows binary options linked to the key performance indicators (KPI) of 23 publicly listed companies in the United States. The metrics related to the cryptocurrency industry include: trading volume of Coinbase (COIN), number of customers and revenue of Robinhood (HOOD), and Bitcoin production of MARA Holdings (MARA).These contracts are cash-settled, European-style options that can only be exercised at expiration. The settlement data is derived from documents submitted by the companies to the SEC, rather than from earnings presentation materials. Cboe plans to launch these contracts this month, and Robinhood is expected to be the first brokerage to offer this product to retail investors. However, trading will not begin until the clearing agency Cboe Clear U.S. obtains temporary registration, and another related application is still under review.

On October 13, Paul S. Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), issued a statement announcing that the Commission voted that day to approve a proposed rule change by a certain securities exchange, allowing for the listing of binary options based on specific key performance indicators (KPIs) reported by certain stock issuers.According to the approval order, these binary KPI options will be listed and traded on the securities exchange, classified as cash-settled, European-style, standardized options, and recognized as NMS securities, protected under securities law. Their listing and trading methods will be largely similar to existing standardized non-binary options and will be subject to the exchange's rules regarding customer accounts, margin, trading halts, auction mechanisms, market maker designations and quoting obligations, order types, validity periods, and order instructions.The approval order only covers the aforementioned specific binary option contracts traded on exchanges that comply with securities law and the listing and trading of standardized securities options, and does not involve similar products that are based on the same KPIs but have different structures. The statement also noted that the approval order does not address or exclude the jurisdiction of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over contracts based on the same KPIs but designed to fall under its jurisdiction.
