According to The Block, the modular data availability layer Avail has announced the launch of the privacy perpetual contract trading platform ShieldTX, aimed at helping large traders cut off the public data chain and avoid being tracked by Order Tracking bots on Hyperliquid. ShieldTX is built on Avail's infrastructure, allowing users to deposit USDC from major EVM chains through Nexus and generate a brand new shielded wallet when opening a position, with orders directly routed to Hyperliquid's native order book.When users close their positions, funds will return to their shielded balance. Observers can see the deposits but cannot associate subsequent trading activities with the source wallet of the funds. Avail states that Order Tracking bots can replicate trades within seconds based on public data, and their subsequent trading volume can drive up prices, which is unfavorable for large orders. According to its analysis, ShieldTX can save 15 to 25 basis points per trade by breaking the public data chain, which significantly compounds savings for high-frequency large traders.ShieldTX also launched a wallet scanner that displays the public data relied upon by Order Tracking bots and reveals how trades are affected. Users can scan wallets to see who is copying their trades. In terms of underlying architecture, ShieldTX operates on a zkAppchain called Nightshade, where users deposit USDC into an Arbitrum settlement contract and receive equivalent receipts within Nightshade.However, currently, receipt management is handled by the sorter, which can see the receipt pre-images and user states; the positions on Hyperliquid remain publicly visible, and designated solvers are also aware of the position addresses they need to fund.

Bitcoin has been trapped in the range of $80,000 to $84,000 for the past two weeks. Huobi HTX's chief analyst Cloud believes that this is essentially a balance of two opposing forces: ETFs have seen a net outflow for two consecutive weeks, while exchange holdings continue to flow out, and long-term holders are only moderately cashing out. In the week leading up to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, Bitcoin is likely to continue waiting in this range. The CME has only priced in a 16% chance of a rate hike in October, while economists generally believe it is close to a 50-50 chance. This discrepancy in pricing and opinions will make funds hesitant to bet in advance.If a direction is chosen in advance, the possibility of a downward test is slightly higher: the funding rate remains high, and the options skew continues to lean towards puts, indicating that bulls have not yet cleared out, and the demand for downside protection is still increasing. However, there has been effective support formed multiple times below $80,000 in the past month, making a downward breakout more likely to be a false breakout.Confirmation signals for a breakout are divided into two groups: for an upward breakout, the daily close needs to be above $84,200, with a cumulative net inflow of over $500 million into ETFs for three consecutive days, and the funding rate not exceeding 15%; for a downward breakout, it must fall below $79,800, with a single-week ETF outflow exceeding $500 million, while exchange funds turn into net inflows. The true source of direction will come from the interest rate decision announced at midnight on October 29, Beijing time, and the nearly 89% pricing for a rate hike in December.Note: The content of this article is not investment advice and does not constitute any offer, solicitation, or recommendation for any investment products.

The complete trailer for Netflix's upcoming FTX-themed series "The Altruists" was released this week, and former FTX Chief Operating Officer Constance Wang criticized the trailer in a post on X, stating that watching it made her "physically want to vomit." She mentioned that she had served as COO since before FTX was named and viewed the company as her child. She was also the last person to leave the Bahamas after Sam Bankman-Fried was extradited and lost all her assets in FTX, thus she has no intention of defending those responsible for all of this.Wang pointed out that the media is eager to tell the story of FTX's collapse due to the team's partying in the Bahamas, but her workplace was completely different. The core team of the company had fewer than 200 people at its peak, while other exchanges of similar size had thousands of employees, many of whom worked 16 to 18 hours a day for over three years with almost no time to sleep. She also questioned the portrayal of Caroline Ellison in the trailer, stating that she had worked with Caroline and had never seen her as aggressive as depicted in the trailer; she described her as quiet and gentle, often lost in her own thoughts. Most of the team only learned about Caroline's relationship with Sam through reports after the bankruptcy."The Altruists" consists of eight episodes and will premiere on Netflix on November 19, featuring Anthony Boyle as Sam Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner as Caroline Ellison. FTX collapsed in November 2022 due to a liquidity crisis, exposing its close financial ties with Alameda Research and issues of customer fund misappropriation. Bankman-Fried was convicted of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy in November 2023 and sentenced to 25 years in prison; Ellison pleaded guilty and cooperated with prosecutors, receiving a two-year prison sentence in September 2024.
