S&P Global Ratings has assigned a 'B-' issuer credit rating to Strategy Inc, formerly known as MicroStrategy, citing the company’s high exposure to Bitcoin and limited diversification as primary risk factors. The outlook was rated as stable. The announcement represents the first time a major credit rating agency has issued a formal rating for a corporation whose balance sheet is predominantly based on Bitcoin holdings. S&P’s assessment positions Strategy Inc within the speculative-grade category, reflecting what the agency describes as “high credit risk.” The decision underscores concerns about the company’s reliance on cryptocurrency price performance, which directly impacts its asset valuation and liquidity. While Strategy Inc has successfully raised capital through debt and equity markets, S&P emphasized that its financial stability remains vulnerable to sustained downturns in the digital asset market. Financial structure and key risk factors According to the S&P report, Strategy’s financial profile is characterized by elevated leverage and limited operational diversification. The company’s substantial Bitcoin holdings—valued in the tens of billions of dollars—serve as both a strategic asset and a source of volatility. S&P noted that Bitcoin’s price fluctuations could significantly affect Strategy’s balance sheet metrics, including leverage ratios and interest coverage. The report also highlighted the company’s reliance on U.S. dollar liquidity and external financing channels to maintain operations and service debt obligations. S&P cautioned that prolonged weakness in Bitcoin markets could constrain Strategy’s access to capital or reduce investor confidence in its long-term financing strategy. Despite these risks, the agency acknowledged the company’s proven ability to engage institutional investors and maintain market visibility. Market and analyst reaction The market response to the rating has been mixed. Some analysts argue that S&P’s evaluation may be conservative, pointing to Strategy’s history of successfully issuing convertible notes and leveraging investor enthusiasm for its Bitcoin-focused model. Others believe the rating appropriately reflects the speculative nature of a business strategy that remains heavily dependent on cryptocurrency valuation trends. Strategy Inc, led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, began its large-scale Bitcoin acquisition strategy in 2020, transforming from a software intelligence firm into one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin globally. The company has since positioned itself as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure in traditional equity markets, attracting both institutional and retail investors seeking indirect participation in the digital asset space. The 'B-' rating from S&P Global marks a significant milestone in the financial industry’s evolving relationship with crypto-linked businesses. It also introduces a precedent for how traditional credit rating agencies may assess companies with substantial digital asset exposure. The move is expected to influence future credit evaluations of firms adopting similar Bitcoin treasury strategies. As digital assets continue to integrate into global financial markets, analysts anticipate that more corporations may seek credit ratings for transparency and investor assurance. For now, S&P’s evaluation of Strategy Inc serves as a benchmark in bridging traditional credit analysis with the emerging world of crypto-finance.

Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM) and Apollo Global Management have announced a strategic partnership to develop a range of stablecoin-backed credit products and tokenized lending solutions aimed at institutional investors. The collaboration represents a key milestone in the broader integration of blockchain technology within traditional finance, as both companies move to create regulated, yield-generating opportunities using digital assets. Developing stablecoin credit for institutional investors According to Coinbase’s announcement, the partnership will focus on designing stablecoin-denominated credit instruments and tokenized debt strategies that combine the security of blockchain infrastructure with the scale of institutional credit markets. The initiative seeks to address the growing institutional appetite for digital assets while maintaining transparency, regulatory compliance, and liquidity. Coinbase Asset Management will leverage its experience in digital asset custody, blockchain infrastructure, and regulatory compliance to ensure institutional-grade safeguards. Apollo, one of the world’s largest alternative investment managers with extensive experience in private credit and structured finance, will contribute its expertise in asset management and credit market structuring. Together, they aim to create tokenized products that bridge traditional fixed-income investments with blockchain-based financial systems. The partnership is expected to launch its first products in 2026, with both firms emphasizing a phased rollout. The offerings will likely target institutions seeking exposure to stablecoin-backed yields and blockchain-verified collateral management frameworks. While the firms have not disclosed specific financial details or the jurisdictions in which the products will be offered, the move signals growing confidence in blockchain’s role in institutional finance. Alignment with Apollo’s digital asset strategy Apollo’s involvement in this initiative aligns with its broader digital asset strategy. In recent months, Apollo has deepened its exploration of tokenization technology, reportedly working with blockchain platforms to digitize portions of its private credit portfolio. The partnership with Coinbase Asset Management extends these efforts, establishing a foundation for on-chain lending mechanisms and tokenized credit structures. Industry analysts view this development as a significant step toward mainstream adoption of blockchain in institutional finance. The partnership reinforces the trend of traditional asset managers collaborating with digital-native firms to design compliant, transparent, and efficient financial products using blockchain technology. These tokenized instruments are expected to enhance liquidity, reduce settlement times, and create new avenues for institutional yield generation. The CBAM-Apollo partnership underscores a broader market shift toward tokenization and stablecoin adoption in the financial sector. As global institutions continue to explore blockchain-based capital markets, collaborations between established financial players and crypto-native firms are likely to accelerate. The use of stablecoins as collateral and as a means of settlement may further drive demand for compliant, programmable, and transparent credit instruments. Coinbase and Apollo plan to provide more detailed updates on product structures, collateral mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks as development progresses.With both firms positioned at the intersection of finance and blockchain innovation, their partnership may set new standards for institutional adoption of tokenized credit and stablecoin-based liquidity products. The alliance reflects a growing convergence between decentralized finance and traditional investment models, signaling the next phase in the institutional evolution of digital assets.

It’s been a strange month for crypto, one filled with endless ups and downs that have mercifully now flipped to the former. Make no mistake, Uptober is very much alive. While retail deserves its share of credit for buying the dip and having the conviction to hodl through those red October days, much of the price support has come courtesy of Wall Street. Without institutions with ETF allocations to fill, a rare Downtober would have almost certainly spawned. As of October 27, the price of BTC is almost at parity with where it started the month, during which time crypto ETF flows have been almost neutral. That’s no coincidence. BTC ETF inflows increased by $91M in the last 24 hours, almost canceling out the $94M of ETH outflows. Total net Bitcoin ETF flows are down slightly this month, a trend mirrored by ETH, but are trending upwards again as October looks to finish on a high. It’s evident that the price of BTC and ETH is now closely correlated with institutional demand. Thankfully, most funds appear happy to hold. They’re in it for the long haul, and have little interest in whether “Uptober” comes to pass. Retail, however, are Uptober maxis, and have been trading hard as crypto’s milestone month plays out. ETFs Take Center Stage in Crypto’s Seasonal Play Historically, Uptober has been fueled by positive trader sentiment and self-fulfilling prophecies: number go up because the people believe it will. Bitcoin has closed higher in 10 of the last 12 Octobers, often delivering double-digit returns. This year, however, spot ETFs – approved in early 2024 – are injecting a new dynamic. As Lingling Jiang, Partner at DWF Labs, observes: “This is the first Uptober where spot ETFs exist. In the past, seasonality was driven mainly by traders and sentiment. Now, ETF flows are part of the picture. At the moment, ETFs are seeing net outflows, which tells us institutions are cautious. The implication is that Uptober will be a test of whether retail optimism can outweigh institutional caution.” She adds: “If ETF flows reverse and turn positive, the rally could be amplified. If they stay negative, Uptober may not look like the past. This year it is not just about history repeating. It is about whether new institutional flows reinforce or blunt old patterns.” Jiang highlights a pivotal shift. Early in the month, Bitcoin spiked to an all-time high above $125,000 on October 6, driven by initial enthusiasm. But subsequent dips, including an 11% drop triggered by geopolitical news, including proposed tariffs on Chinese imports, tested the market. ETF flows have been a barometer of institutional sentiment, with mixed signals throughout October. ETFs as the Institutional Pulse Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen renewed net inflows this week, a strong rebound after early outflows wiped out initial gains mid-month. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has led the pack, contributing significantly to the monthly total, while Fidelity and ARK also posted solid gains. Cumulative BTC inflows now stand at $62B, and while early buyers such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy are up bigly, latecomers like Metaplanet have still to book profits. Institutions that have been late to the game aren’t about to rage quit just because of a little choppiness – they’re just getting started. Admittedly, early October saw $326 million in net outflows on October 13 alone, contributing to a brief $750 million drawdown that erased prior inflows. But the week ending October 24 brought in $447 million, boosting Bitcoin’s recovery above $110K. These flows have absorbed selling pressure, with institutions vacuuming up BTC during dips, evident in Bitcoin’s stabilization around $115K in recent sessions. The price of Bitcoin isn’t just good for measuring the mood of the broader crypto market: it’s also a shorthand for measuring the institutional appetite for crypto. BTC is the pulse by which Wall Street’s vital signs are monitored. Right now, everything looks healthy: institutional caution early in the month tempered retail exuberance, but the ETF flow reversal has amplified the rally. Unlike past Uptobers that were reliant on trader psychology, this year’s version is testing whether ETF inflows can sustain momentum. In a month that’s had its share of negative news to contend with, the revelation that Mt Gox is delaying creditor payments for another year, pushing the deadline back to October 2026, has done the market no harm. Smart Traders Follow the Flows Despite fading mid-month, Uptober has returned with intent and looks poised to close out in the green. As usual, however, the spoils of war have not been evenly distributed. Top performing sectors have included ZK-based coins/privacy protocols, which are up an average of 25% in the last week. Launchpad and derivatives tokens are also performing well, suggesting that consumers are very much risk-on once again. While retail does what retail does best, fighting it out in the trenches for quick wins and monster X’s, institutions are quietly doing their thing, supplying much of the demand for blue chips – BTC, ETH, and SOL mostly – that has absorbed the sell pressure and allowed crypto to push higher. It might not go down as a record October when the percentage gains are totted up at the end of the month, but it’s almost certain to be another Uptober. Considering where the market was mired just a fortnight ago, that’s quite the redemption arc.

Blockchain Platform Eyes U.S. Listing tZero Group, a New York–based blockchain infrastructure company focused on tokenized securities and real-world assets, said it plans to go public in 2026. The firm disclosed its intent for a U.S. initial public offering on Monday, adding to a growing list of digital asset companies preparing for listings after a revival in market sentiment. Founded in 2014, tZero builds technology for companies to raise capital and trade securities on blockchain-based platforms compliant with U.S. securities law. The company operates under a regulatory framework that supports private offerings and alternative trading systems. Chief Executive Alan Konevsky told Bloomberg the firm is in discussions with several banks but has yet to appoint an underwriter. He added that tZero, which employs just over 50 staff and remains unprofitable, may seek another funding round before the listing. Investor Takeaway tZero’s planned IPO highlights renewed investor appetite for tokenization infrastructure as U.S. regulatory clarity encourages blockchain firms to re-enter public markets. Push to Tokenize Real-World Assets Tokenization converts traditional assets—such as currencies, equities and real estate—into digital tokens that can trade on blockchain networks around the clock. Proponents say it can streamline settlement and widen market access by lowering barriers for issuers and investors. tZero said its decision to list reflects a belief that tokenization will become a key element in capital formation and cross-border finance. The company has raised about $200 million to date, according to Konevsky. Intercontinental Exchange, the parent of the New York Stock Exchange, is among its investors, a link that could help position the firm for institutional credibility once public. The company’s own tokenized shares already trade on its platform, giving it a live example of how blockchain can support regulated secondary markets. Konevsky said the team continues to build compliance-focused infrastructure for private markets ahead of the planned offering. Crypto Listings Regain Momentum tZero’s move comes amid a broader wave of crypto-related IPOs following the passage of the GENIUS Act in July and the Trump administration’s supportive stance on digital assets. The law established the first federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins and reinforced a sense of policy stability for fintech listings. Several high-profile firms have gone public this year. Stablecoin issuer Circle listed on the New York Stock Exchange in June with a $1.05 billion offering, its shares jumping 167% on debut. Bullish, the exchange operator and parent of CoinDesk, completed a $1.1 billion IPO in August. In September, Gemini, founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, listed on the Nasdaq after raising its valuation target days before pricing. Kraken is also reportedly preparing for a U.S. listing in 2026 after a $500 million raise in September that valued the company at $15 billion. Analysts see these offerings as evidence that crypto finance is moving from private rounds toward regulated public markets, supported by stronger oversight and institutional interest. Investor Takeaway Tokenization and blockchain infrastructure firms are emerging as the next wave of public-market candidates, following exchanges and stablecoin issuers into the regulated space. Outlook tZero’s planned debut will test investor demand for blockchain infrastructure at a time when public markets are re-evaluating the sector’s long-term value. If successful, it could offer one of the first direct exposures to tokenization technology on a major U.S. exchange. The company’s links to traditional finance through Intercontinental Exchange may appeal to institutional investors seeking regulatory familiarity alongside blockchain exposure. As crypto listings gain traction, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for the intersection of public equity markets and tokenized finance. For tZero, the path to profitability and scale will determine whether it can convert its early role in regulated digital securities into a durable presence on Wall Street.

Bitcoin has had one of the most impressive daily performances following consecutive days of outflows from the market. The asset is now trending back toward the $115,000 region for the first time since October, when it experienced massive outflows that drove its price down to $103,000. In plain terms, this positive price development points to bullish sentiment building and selling pressure easing. However, investors are curious about what is driving this growing momentum in the market. FinanceFeeds examined macro factors that could be affecting Bitcoin’s price outlook and identified the following key points. Key Takeaways Bitcoin is trending back toward the $115,000 region after days of outflows. Over 7 million Bitcoin returned to profitability in the last 24 hours, signaling growing investor confidence. Flat CVD readings indicate selling pressure has cooled, historically a sign of potential capital inflows. Stablecoin liquidity is strong, which could support renewed buying activity and further price rallies. Derivative market indicators suggest cautious bullish sentiment, creating an accumulation window for investors. Short-Term Holders’ Profitability Remains Key The market gain over the past day followed rising profitability among short-term investors. This was tracked using the Bitcoin Age Band Profit Distribution on Binance, which measures the profitability of different segments of investors to anticipate future price trends. The past 24 hours showed that Bitcoin’s rally to $115,000 moved far above the average buy price across Bitcoin holding accounts. During this period, over 7 million Bitcoin returned to profitability—5.1 million from investors who have held Bitcoin for about six months and 1.8 million from new entrants. [caption id="attachment_163125" align="alignnone" width="988"] Source: CryptoQuant[/caption] [caption id="attachment_163126" align="alignnone" width="1356"] Source: CryptoQuant[/caption] Historically, when short-term holders achieve significant profits, it often acts as a signal for more buying. Crypto analyst Crazzyblockk described this as a “behavioral driver,” adding: “When short-term holders begin to see consistent gains, they tend to gain confidence, extend their holding period, and even add to positions at higher levels, signaling growing conviction in the market’s strength.” Selling Pressure Completely Subsides The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), which measures the difference between spot and derivative activity to determine underlying buying and selling pressure, shows a flat reading in the market. This is the first flat reading in the spot and futures CVD since October 7. Historically, such patterns have correlated with cooling selling pressure and have been key indicators that capital inflow would return. [caption id="attachment_163127" align="alignnone" width="988"] Source: Glassnode[/caption] The market gets more interesting as the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) Oscillator indicates that there is more liquidity in stablecoins than in Bitcoin. This is confirmed when the SSR hits a bottom on the chart, which has historically preceded market rallies on multiple occasions. If this stronger buy bid enters the market, it could positively impact Bitcoin’s overall outlook. The correlation between rising buying volume and stablecoin supply suggests that investors are gradually accumulating the asset and are likely to resume their buying activity. Derivative Investors’ Positioning Derivative investors have gradually shifted toward a growing bullish interest in the market. The Funding Rate, which determines which group of investors pays fees and confirms market tilt—bullish or bearish—remains neutral at 0.01%, showing no excessive long positions. In fact, Glassnode data indicates that investors are leaning toward caution. [caption id="attachment_163126" align="alignnone" width="1356"] Source: Glassnode[/caption] Option 25 Delta Skew also shows that, while investors remain cautious, aggressive selling has largely halted. Analysis suggests that selling has even peaked, presenting an opportunity for investors to step in and accumulate Bitcoin. Summary Investors are returning to the market and have begun purchasing Bitcoin. Analysis shows that there is a clear possibility Bitcoin could make a major swing to the upside if accumulation continues along this path, potentially pushing it to new highs. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Why is Bitcoin’s price up today?Bitcoin’s recent rally is driven by easing selling pressure, growing bullish sentiment, and increased accumulation by both short-term and cautious investors. What role do short-term holders play in Bitcoin’s price movements?Short-term holders’ profitability can act as a behavioral driver—when they gain consistently, they tend to hold longer and buy more, boosting market momentum. What does the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicate?The CVD measures the difference between spot and derivative activity to gauge buying and selling pressure. A flat CVD suggests selling pressure is easing. How does the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) affect Bitcoin’s outlook?When SSR reaches a bottom, it indicates more liquidity in stablecoins than Bitcoin, historically signaling potential market rallies as investors deploy capital to buy Bitcoin. Are derivative investors bullish or cautious right now?Derivative investors are gradually leaning bullish, but current Funding Rates and Option 25 Delta Skew data show caution, with aggressive selling largely paused, creating accumulation opportunities.

Rumors of MASK Token Intensify Speculation around a potential MetaMask token gained momentum this week after a password-protected website, claim.metamask.io, appeared online. The link, which surfaced Monday, prompted traders on prediction market Polymarket to raise the odds of a token launch this year to 35%. It remains unclear whether the site is officially connected to MetaMask or its parent company, Consensys. The page uses a Vercel Authenticator, a standard way to conceal internal or staging environments, leaving open whether it represents a legitimate portal or a test page unrelated to a live token launch. MetaMask, the largest Ethereum-focused wallet, has long been expected to issue a native token. The project is incubated by Consensys, the blockchain software firm founded by Ethereum co-creator Joe Lubin. In mid-September, Lubin told The Block that a MASK token could “come sooner than you would expect,” describing it as a step toward decentralizing the MetaMask ecosystem. Investor Takeaway The latest claim link has fueled speculation that MetaMask’s long-awaited token may launch soon, but users are being urged to watch for scams until official confirmation arrives. MetaMask’s Loyalty Program and Product Roadmap While Consensys has not confirmed any token details, MetaMask’s product roadmap has increasingly referenced reward-based initiatives. In comments to The Block, Christian Montoya, MetaMask’s director of product, said the wallet is rolling out a new loyalty program distributing about $30 million in rewards during its initial phase. Users will earn points for trading and referrals, with plans to expand the program to cover products such as MetaMask Card and mUSD, the wallet’s recently launched native stablecoin. Montoya did not specify whether loyalty points would convert into tokens, but analysts said the system could create a user base already primed for a token distribution if MetaMask proceeds with a launch. Consensys, Decentralization and Caution Around Scams MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay previously said that if a token were to launch, users would see it directly in the wallet rather than through third-party websites or social media posts. “You will not have to find some account on social media giving you a link,” Finlay told The Block in May. “It won't be a text message. We don’t have your phone number. It won’t be an email. We don’t have your email address. It will be in the wallet. It’ll be on our main website.” Finlay’s remarks followed a wave of phishing scams in 2023 that exploited rumors of a MetaMask airdrop to lure users to fake claim sites. His warning, reiterated this year, suggests Consensys is sensitive to the risk that renewed speculation could expose users to similar schemes. The concept of a MetaMask token dates back to at least 2021, when MetaMask engineer Erik Marks proposed issuing a governance token to strengthen community ownership, mirroring other decentralized projects. Lubin later echoed the idea as part of Consensys’ broader effort to expand participation in its wallet ecosystem. Investor Takeaway A MetaMask token could become one of the most anticipated launches in Ethereum’s retail ecosystem, but until Consensys confirms details, traders face both hype and risk. Awaiting Confirmation As of Tuesday, neither MetaMask nor Consensys had publicly commented on the claim website. The Block said it reached out to both teams for verification and would update its report when confirmation arrives. The episode has nevertheless reignited one of crypto’s longest-running storylines — the prospect of MetaMask following Uniswap and Optimism in issuing a governance or utility token tied to wallet activity. For now, the MASK token remains unconfirmed. But with growing speculation, an active loyalty program, and comments from Consensys leadership suggesting readiness, the odds of a 2025 release may continue to rise on prediction markets and across Ethereum’s developer community.  

Technology is blurring the lines between the digital and the real worlds. The internet isn’t just a place we visit; it’s becoming where we live. The Metaverse is at the center of this evolution, attracting creators, tech giants, and everyday people.  Experts usually describe it as the next phase of the internet, where the physical and virtual worlds meet to form one shared digital environment. In this article, we’ve explained what the Metaverse really means beyond the hype and buzzwords. Additionally, you’ll learn how it works and how you can experience it yourself.  Key Takeaways The Metaverse is a shared virtual universe that combines the digital and physical worlds. It’s powered by advanced technologies such as augmented and virtual reality, blockchain, and AI.  It offers real opportunities for creativity, education, business, and social connection. You can access the Metaverse through your computer, phone, or VR headset.  Understanding the Concept of the Metaverse While the word might sound futuristic, its idea is quite simple. The Metaverse is a connected, large digital world where individuals can interact with each other with personalized characters called avatars. In this realm, you can attend events, meet people, work, play games, buy and sell digital items, from your device.  The Metaverse can be likened to an advanced version of the internet. Hence, instead of scrolling through social media pages and websites, you enter virtual environments that feel real. You can talk to others, walk around, and explore digital cities, like the physical world.  The Technology Behind the Metaverse This space doesn’t exist by itself; it is powered by a combination of advanced technologies that work together to make virtual experiences possible. Each of these technologies plays a distinct role in building a world that feels and looks like reality.  1. Virtual Reality (VR) Virtual Reality gives a 3D, life-like experience. With a VR headset like Meta Quest, HTC Vive, or PlayStation VR, users can enter into digital spaces that surround them. You can look around, move your hands, or turn your head. This experience makes it feel like you’re existing in another world.  2. Augmented Reality (AR) Augmented Reality doesn’t substitute the real world. However, it introduces digital information or objects to it. AR creates a bridge between the physical and digital spaces, enabling users to experience both simultaneously.  3. Blockchain Technology Blockchain is the digital economy of the Metaverse. It is a safe way to record ownership of digital items like clothes for art, avatars, and virtual land. Users can own what they buy in the Metaverse through blockchain. These items are usually represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).  4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI is the brain behind the Metaverse. It powers everything like non-player characters, smart virtual assistants, and more. It also personalizes your experiences by suggesting spaces, events, or items depending on your interests. Artificial Intelligence also builds realistic avatars by learning your voice, movements, or expressions, making interactions human-like and natural. How To Access The Metaverse Getting started with the Metaverse is easier than most users think. You don’t have to be a tech expert, but by following a few steps, you can explore the virtual worlds. Here are some steps to get started. 1. Choose a Metaverse platform The Metaverse comprises diverse virtual worlds, each with its own unique features. Common examples are Roblox, VRCgat, Decentraland, The Sandbox, and others. Some are focused on business or socializing, while others are built for gaming. You can explore some options and decide which one aligns with what you want to do.  2. Create an account When you’ve decided on a platform, you need to sign up on it. You’ll be required to design an avatar, a digital version of yourself that represents you in the virtual world. You can customize your avatar’s clothes, appearance, and other features to reflect your personality. 3. Get the right device Several Metaverse platforms can be accessed through your smartphone, computer or tablet. If you want a more immersive experience, you can use a VR headset like HTC Vive or Meta Quest. These gadgets let you look around, move, and feel as if you’re physically present in the virtual world. 4. Connect to the internet and explore Having a stable and strong internet connection is important. After you log in, you can move freely, visit spaces, talk to people, attend events, or play games. Some platforms even host events like art galleries, virtual concerts, and business meetings.  5. Set up a crypto wallet This is an optional step which applies mostly applies to blockchain-based platforms, where you’ll need a crypto wallet like MetaMask. With a wallet, you can sell, buy, or store virtual assets like NFTs, land, or in-game tokens.  Benefits and Opportunities of the Metaverse This space opens doors to new ways of connecting, living, and working. Whether you’re a student, business owner, or just curious about technology, there are opportunities in the digital universe.  1. New ways to collaborate and work Companies have started using virtual spaces for training, meetings, and remote work. Instead of joining a video conference call, people can meet as avatars in 3D offices. Hence, communication is more engaging and teams feel more connected even when working from different countries.  2. Business and investment opportunities The Metaverse has created a new digital economy where people can buy and sell virtual buildings, land, and fashion items. Early users are already earning money by selling and creating digital assets.  3. Education and learning Organizations and schools are beginning to use the Metaverse for teaching and learning. Students can attend lectures in virtual classrooms, and employees can undergo onboarding in a virtual environment. This makes learning and interaction more engaging.  Conclusion: The Future of the Metaverse and Why It Matters The Metaverse is still developing, but its prospects are clear. It represents a notable step in how people will use the internet, not just to view information. As technology continues to improve, the Metaverse will become more connected, realistic, and accessible to everyone. In the near future, the Metaverse will likely influence almost every part of our lives, like how we work, create, and socialize.

Markets await key central bank decisions; Fed likely to cut rates, ECB and BoJ hold steady. Optimism boosts stocks, weakens Gold. Central Bank Monetary Policy Decisions are Imminent and Highly Anticipated Multiple major central banks, including the US Federal Reserve (Fed), the European Central Bank (ECB), and the Bank of Japan (BoJ), have scheduled interest rate decisions this week. Markets are nearly certain the Fed will cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points (bps) for the second time this year at its upcoming meeting, an expectation strengthened by recent softer-than-expected US inflation data. In contrast, both the ECB and the BoJ are widely expected to keep their benchmark rates unchanged at 2.00% and 0.50%, respectively. The ECB is assessing stabilizing Eurozone inflation, while the BoJ is considering the impact of a proposed fiscal stimulus package in Japan. Optimism for a US-China Trade Deal is Driving Market Sentiment There is widespread market optimism regarding a potential trade agreement between the US and China, which is contributing to a "risk-on" sentiment in global markets. This optimism resulted in a surge in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), which climbed to a fresh record high (poking through 47,500) in early trading. Conversely, the positive sentiment is negatively impacting safe-haven assets: Gold sank to three-week lows near $3,970 per troy ounce, and Silver collapsed to four-week lows near the $46.00 mark, indicating reduced demand for these assets when risk appetite improves. Currencies and Commodities are Reacting to Central Bank Divergence and Geopolitics The US Dollar (USD) is trading with modest losses overall, reflecting investor hopes for a trade deal and near-certain expectations for an upcoming Fed rate cut. The Japanese Yen (JPY) is the worst-performing G10 currency this month against the USD, with USD/JPY reaching near four-week highs north of 153.00, largely due to the BoJ's expected cautious stance amid domestic fiscal expansion. In the commodities market, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude Oil is trading with modest gains (around $61.70 per barrel). This is supported by the US-China trade truce prospects, which are helping to offset concerns about potential oversupply following record crude exports from Iraq and the introduction of sweeping US sanctions against Russia's leading oil companies (Lukoil and Rosneft). Top upcoming economic events: October 27, 2025: RBA Governor Bullock speech (High Impact, AUD). The week begins with this crucial address at 08:15:00. Speeches from central bank heads are vital for providing forward guidance on monetary policy. Governor Bullock’s remarks will be closely scrutinized for any hints regarding the future path of Australian interest rates, particularly in the context of recent global economic developments and domestic inflation concerns. October 28, 2025: ECB Bank Lending Survey (High Impact, EUR). Released at 09:00:00, this report offers key insights into euro area credit conditions by surveying banks on their lending practices, including credit standards and loan demand. Its high impact stems from its ability to foreshadow shifts in economic activity and monetary policy transmission, as tighter or looser credit conditions significantly affect business and household borrowing. October 29, 2025: RBA Trimmed Mean CPI (QoQ) (High Impact, AUD). Released at 00:30:00, this is one of the most critical inflation measures for Australia. It is the Reserve Bank of Australia’s preferred gauge of underlying inflation, and its reading will be a major determinant of interest rate policy, which in turn significantly impacts the Australian Dollar. October 29, 2025: BoC Interest Rate Decision (High Impact, CAD). This decision is announced at 13:45:00, alongside the Monetary Policy Statement, followed by the Press Conference at 14:30:00. The Bank of Canada’s rate decision and outlook are crucial for the CAD and will reflect the central bank's assessment of Canada's economic health, inflation, and how it is balancing global trade risks and domestic economic slack. October 29, 2025: Fed Interest Rate Decision (High Impact, USD). Released at 18:00:00, along with the Fed Monetary Policy Statement, and followed by the FOMC Press Conference at 18:30:00. This is arguably the most significant global economic event of the week. The decision on the Fed Funds Rate and the forward guidance provided by the Federal Open Market Committee are paramount, influencing global financial markets, US borrowing costs, and the direction of the USD. October 30, 2025: BoJ Interest Rate Decision (High Impact, JPY). This is announced at 03:00:00, alongside the Monetary Policy Statement, with the Press Conference following at 06:30:00. The Bank of Japan's policy announcement is highly influential, as the market constantly looks for signs of a shift away from ultra-loose monetary policy, which has broad implications for the Japanese Yen and global markets. October 30, 2025: Gross Domestic Product Annualized (High Impact, USD). The US GDP figure is released at 12:30:00. This is the primary gauge of American economic growth. Its outcome is crucial for setting the tone in financial markets, as it provides essential context for the Federal Reserve’s recent monetary policy actions and overall economic assessment. October 30, 2025: ECB Main Refinancing Operations Rate (High Impact, EUR). The European Central Bank’s decision on its key interest rates is announced at 13:15:00, along with the ECB Monetary Policy Statement and followed by the Press Conference at 13:45:00. This is a major determinant of Euro area bond yields and the Euro's value, as it sets the cost of borrowing for commercial banks in the Eurozone. October 31, 2025: Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (YoY) (High Impact, EUR). This key inflation figure, released at 10:00:00, is particularly important in the Eurozone. HICP is the European Central Bank’s preferred measure of inflation for the Euro area, making this a pivotal release that directly influences market expectations for future ECB policy actions. October 31, 2025: Core Personal Consumption Expenditures - Price Index (YoY) (High Impact, USD). The week's final high-impact data is released at 12:30:00. Core PCE is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation.

Cyprus’s securities regulator has fined investment firm WRDNB Ltd €1,300 for failing to submit a required regulatory return on time — the third such lapse for the company in less than two years. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) said its board decided to impose the penalty after the firm did not successfully file the 2024 Risk-Based Supervision Framework (RBSF-CIF) report, a mandatory annual data submission under Circular C706. The decision was published on October 24. Circular C706, issued in May 2025, introduced version 10 of the RBSF-CIF template, requiring all licensed Cyprus Investment Firms to report financial and operational metrics for the 2024 calendar year. CySEC warned at the time that late or failed filings would trigger enforcement under Article 56(4) of the CySEC Law — a clause it has relied on repeatedly in recent months to police statistical reporting. Repeat Offender WRDNB Ltd, which operates under the trading name Invexia, has already faced two penalties for similar administrative breaches. In May 2024, CySEC fined the firm €100 for missing its Q4 2023 quarterly statistical (QST-CIF) filing. Another €1,300 fine followed in June 2025 for failing to submit the same return for Q4 2024. This latest action, covering the annual RBSF-CIF submission, suggests a pattern that regulators increasingly view as symptomatic of weak compliance routines rather than clerical error. Though the sums are minor, multiple missed filings can draw heightened supervisory attention — particularly for newer licensees still establishing internal control frameworks. WRDNB received its Cyprus Investment Firm licence (424/23) in February 2023 and is listed on CySEC’s public register as operating the Invexia brand from Limassol. Corporate filings show the company was incorporated in 2021 under registration HE 417464, with directors named as Erno Borondy and Csaba Turcsanyi, and PMG Islandserve Nominees Ltd as company secretary. Reporting Obligations Under Scrutiny Both QST-CIF and RBSF-CIF returns feed into CySEC’s data-driven supervision model. The quarterly QST-CIF captures transaction volumes, income, and client metrics, while the RBSF-CIF serves as a broader annual health check covering balance-sheet data, staffing, and risk indicators. CySEC’s enforcement of these filings has intensified as the watchdog tightens its oversight of smaller investment firms and fintech brokers. The agency has issued a string of minor fines across the sector for reporting delays, including against Lydya Financial and other retail-broker entities, as part of what market lawyers describe as a “zero-tolerance” approach to missed returns. A Nicosia-based compliance consultant said the tougher stance reflects CySEC’s growing reliance on data analytics: “When you skip a return, it’s not just a box unticked — it’s a hole in the data set the regulator uses to spot risk. That’s why they’re enforcing even small breaches.” Broader Enforcement Climate Cyprus’s investment-services sector, home to dozens of retail-trading platforms targeting European clients, has come under increasing scrutiny from both domestic and EU regulators. The push has focused on governance, reporting, and cross-border marketing practices rather than outright fraud cases. Under CySEC’s current administrative-fine regime, most failures to comply with circulars or data requests result in penalties ranging from €100 to €10,000, depending on the scale and frequency of the breach. Firms with repeated infractions can face follow-up audits or, in severe cases, suspension of their licence. While WRDNB’s fines fall at the lower end of that scale, the recurrence may invite a closer look at its compliance processes. Regulators typically expect firms with repeat delays to present remediation plans and evidence of stronger internal checks in subsequent cycles. The next test will arrive in early 2026, when firms submit their Q4 2025 quarterly return and the next annual RBSF-CIF package. A timely submission would indicate that WRDNB has corrected the procedural gaps that led to its earlier delays. For now, CySEC’s latest decision is more symbolic than punitive — a signal to the market that the watchdog intends to treat routine data reporting as a frontline compliance issue, not a formality. The regulator’s message is that “if you can’t manage your filings, it raises questions about what else might slip through.”

One-Click Checkout for 129 Million Users Juspay has formed a partnership with Mastercard to integrate Click to Pay in Brazil, giving consumers access to one-click online payments backed by biometric security. The service is now available to roughly 129 million Mastercard users in the region, according to the company. The rollout comes amid rapid growth in Brazil’s digital payments market, supported by a 7% rise in ecommerce during the first half of 2025 and a steady increase in online transactions. Brazil has become one of Latin America’s most dynamic fintech ecosystems, with new infrastructure players competing to simplify checkout and boost card usage. Click to Pay allows users to link their Mastercard once and complete purchases across merchants without re-entering card details or passwords. The feature uses passkey-based biometric authentication and issuer-verified credentials, offering faster checkout while maintaining bank-grade security. Investor Takeaway Brazil’s expanding ecommerce market and regulatory clarity make it one of the most competitive arenas for global payment firms. Mastercard’s partnership with Juspay extends its reach into mobile-first digital commerce. Juspay’s Expansion Strategy The collaboration is part of Juspay’s broader plan to strengthen its presence in Latin America. By providing merchants with a plug-and-play integration for Click to Pay, Juspay is positioning itself as a key technology enabler for global card networks entering the region. Merchants can incorporate the feature directly into checkout flows, allowing payments through tokenised credentials with higher security and improved conversion rates. Juspay said the agreement aligns with its goal to reduce cart abandonment and improve the user experience for consumers who increasingly rely on digital wallets and mobile banking apps. Representatives added that the company is among the first technology providers in Brazil authorised to deploy Click to Pay with Passkeys for Mastercard transactions. The initiative also responds to local demand for simplified payments. Many Brazilian merchants face high friction at checkout, with drop-off rates of up to 60% during online payment flows, according to ecommerce data providers. One-click card payments are seen as a way to bring online conversion rates closer to in-store transactions. Mastercard’s Push in Latin America For Mastercard, the integration with Juspay expands its digital footprint in Latin America’s largest economy. The company has been investing heavily in Brazil’s open-banking infrastructure and fintech partnerships to defend its market share against local payment networks such as Pix and Elo. Click to Pay is part of Mastercard’s global strategy to streamline ecommerce transactions and standardise digital card experiences across regions. The system, already live in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, offers a consistent user interface for cardholders while giving merchants a unified framework that supports compliance and fraud management. Brazil’s payments landscape has become increasingly competitive since the central bank launched the instant-payment system Pix in 2020. The system now accounts for more than half of all electronic payments in the country, forcing global card networks to offer faster, lower-friction alternatives to remain relevant in online retail and app-based commerce. Investor Takeaway Mastercard’s integration with Juspay positions it to defend share against Brazil’s instant-payment giant Pix, while helping merchants capture rising ecommerce volumes. Brazil’s Digital Payment Outlook Brazil’s online payments sector continues to expand at double-digit annual rates. According to data shared by fintech analysts earlier this year, consumers and businesses are moving rapidly toward mobile and instant payment solutions, away from cash and legacy bank transfers. As adoption deepens, the next phase of growth will hinge on improved infrastructure in rural areas, stronger fraud prevention, and wider digital literacy.

Every year, millions of dollars are lost due to errors in unaudited smart contracts. These contracts cannot be changed after deployment, so any mistake becomes a permanent vulnerability. A security audit helps you detect and fix these issues early while protecting both your users and your reputation. In this guide, you will learn how to conduct a security audit for smart contracts using the right tools and methods to ensure your project is safe and reliable. Key Takeaways • A security audit is a complete review of your smart contract code to detect vulnerabilities before launch. • Both automated tools and manual review are important for a thorough audit. • Classifying issues by severity helps you fix the most critical problems first. • A second audit after fixes ensures your contract is ready for deployment. What Is a Security Audit for Smart Contracts? A security audit is a thorough review of your smart contract’s code, logic, and structure for potential vulnerabilities before deployment. Once a smart contract is deployed on the blockchain, its code can’t be changed easily due to immutability.  When you run a security audit, you check for issues like reentrancy attacks, integer overflow, weak access controls, gas inefficiencies, and logic bugs. The audit uses both automated tools and hands-on manual review. Step-by-Step Guide to Conducting a Security Audit Step 1: Prepare Documentation and Freeze the Code Start your audit with a stable codebase. No new edits or updates should occur once the audit begins. Freeze the version you want reviewed and keep it consistent throughout the process. Gather every document that explains how your contract works, including technical specifications, design diagrams, whitepapers, and interface descriptions. Add commit hashes, version details, and development notes for full traceability. Comprehensive documentation helps auditors understand your contract’s logic and purpose. Step 2: Run Automated Tools & Tests Automated tooling helps you catch common vulnerabilities early while allowing human auditors to concentrate on complex, logic-intensive vulnerabilities that automated tools can’t easily detect. A strong setup combines several testing methods: • Static Analysis Tools These tools scan your code for known patterns of vulnerabilities, dead code paths, and inconsistencies in coding style. Tools like Slither, Solhint, and other Solidity analyzers can flag a wide range of easily detectable problems automatically. • Fuzz Testing This method bombards your contract with random or invalid inputs to see how it behaves under unexpected conditions. Fuzz testing exposes cases that are hard to detect and reverts that normal tests might miss. • Unit and Integration Tests Develop unit tests for every function to validate normal, boundary, and failure scenarios. Then create integration tests to evaluate how different contracts interact within the full system. Combined, these tests confirm that both individual components and the overall structure perform reliably from end to end. • Formal Verification For high-stakes contracts handling large value or complex logic, you should consider formal verification. This process uses mathematical proofs to ensure that critical properties like invariants and overflow protections always remain valid. Step 3: Manual Review and Human Insight Humans still outperform machines when it comes to interpreting intent, business logic, and system structure. During manual review, methodically walk through each function and its modifiers, trace control flow and state transitions, and verify access control to ensure only authorized actions are possible. Examine how your contracts interact with external systems, and pinpoint opportunities for gas fee optimization. Most importantly, think like a hacker and examine how the system responds to deliberately manipulated inputs. Step 4: Classify Issues by Severity After identifying flaws, organize them by impact so your team can address the most dangerous ones first. Typical severity levels include: • Critical level: These are flaws that could drain funds or compromise core contract integrity. • Major level: These are logical errors or centralization risks that could disrupt key functionality. • Medium level: These are issues affecting performance and security. • Minor level: These include inefficiencies and minor coding irregularities with little to no impact on functionality. • Informational level: These are suggestions for improving coding standards, documentation quality, and overall style consistency. Step 5: Prepare the Initial Audit Report Auditors compile an initial report that acts as a roadmap for remediation. It should group findings by severity, explain each issue in context, and outline where and how it occurs. The report also provides practical recommendations for mitigation steps, along with test details to verify corrections. Ultimately, this initial report serves as a working document that guides developers through the process of refining, strengthening, and validating the code before the final security audit stage. Step 6: Mitigation Phase and Fixes During this stage, the development team reviews the security audit report, implements fixes, and refines the codebase. Critical and major issues should be resolved first, followed by medium and minor ones. All changes must be clearly communicated back to the auditors for verification, ensuring transparency and alignment. It is also important to expand your test coverage to include new scenarios and maintain an open feedback loop with the audit team. Every fix should be thoroughly documented and tracked, leaving no ambiguity about what was addressed and how it was resolved. Step 7: Final Report and Continuous Monitoring After implementing fixes, auditors should conduct a final review and produce a report outlining which findings were resolved, which remain open, and any lingering risks. Still, security doesn’t end with a report. Once deployed, treat every code change as unaudited, revalidate critical components, and maintain continuous monitoring. Keep security tools active in production to detect anomalies early, and schedule regular audits, especially after major updates. Final Thoughts A security audit exposes loopholes and guides developers toward a more secure smart contract. No audit can catch every issue, so contracts should be monitored continuously, reviewed regularly, and updated carefully. When this is approached with consistent attention,the audit can move from an initial assessment into a sustainable workflow that protects the project from problems and exploits.

With less than 24 hours remaining before the viral Snorter (SNORT) presale officially closes, investors have a final opportunity to secure tokens at current prices. In its final presale stage, SNORT is priced at $0.1083 per token – matching its upcoming exchange listing price.  The Solana-based Telegram trading bot project has already raised over $5.5 million, reflecting strong community interest ahead of its listing. Once the presale concludes, investors will be able to receive their tokens via the claim event, which goes live on October 27 at 2 p.m. UTC.  Designed to rival leading Solana meme coin bots, SNORT continues to generate buzz among analysts who believe it could become one of the next breakout meme coins. Snorter Offers Smart Trading Tools With Industry-Low Fees Meme coin trading bots are seeing increasing use over time, with top names such as Banana Gun, Maestro, and Trojan boasting a combined 7-day trading volume of more than $360 million.  Snorter aims to take on these big names by offering faster execution, lower fees, and a more engaging user experience, all delivered directly through Telegram. One of Snorter’s most notable advantages lies in its low-fee structure. The bot charges a discounted 0.85% fee per transaction for those holding a minimum on-chain SNORT balance. This is lower than the 1% transaction fee charged by major SOL meme coin bots such as Banana Gun, Trojan, and Maestro.  These discounted fees, combined with MEV-resistant relayers and custom routing, ensure users can execute fast, secure swaps during volatile trading periods. For beginner investors, Snorter introduces copy-trading tools, allowing users to mirror the trades of top wallets automatically. Meanwhile, experienced traders can rely on limit orders, stop-loss settings, and automated sniping, making it versatile for all experience levels. The bot also includes a portfolio dashboard that instantly displays performance metrics such as P/L, realized gains, and cost basis, all directly within Telegram via simple commands.  Snorter plans to expand to other chains in the future, with the Ethereum and BNB Chain integration already in devnet, and plans for Polygon and Base support. Furthermore, Snorter has also secured smart contract audits from SolidProof and Coinsult, ensuring transparency and trust before its bot features go live.  Snorter Could Follow Banana Gun’s Explosive Growth Path Those entering the Snorter presale are hoping that SNORT can replicate the success of other projects in this space, such as Banana Gun (BANANA). This project managed to raise $1.3 million in its 2023 presale campaign before shooting to a live market cap of $48 million – a massive 3,588% return on investment.  By comparison, Snorter is already off to a better start, raising more than 4x of Banana Gun’s presale amount. Furthermore, by offering among the lowest fees and fastest execution times on the Solana blockchain, Snorter also has a technical advantage.  Apart from the smart trading tools, Snorter is also attracting strong demand from long-term buyers. This could be attributed to the innovative staking mechanism, which offers regular passive income to stakers. At the time of writing, SNORT tokens can be staked to generate a live APY (annual percentage yield) of up to 102%. So far, over 24.5 million tokens have been staked.  Due to Snorter’s combination of game-changing utility, competitive prices, and long-term incentives, popular analysts have also been closely following the project. One such name is Jacob Crypto Bury, who believes that SNORT could become the next 100x crypto opportunity.  Only 24 Hours Left to Buy SNORT Tokens in Presale With just under a day left before the October 27 claim date, investors are rushing against the clock to secure SNORT tokens at a fixed price of $0.1083.  SNORT can be purchased directly via the official Snorter presale website using ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, or bank cards.  For added convenience, tokens can also be purchased through the Best Wallet app on Android and iOS. With competitive pricing and feature-rich design, Snorter is making a strong debut in the trading bot sector – and may soon challenge established names like Banana Gun and Trojan for market dominance.

Ottawa Accelerates Work on Digital Currency Regulation Canada is fast-tracking the creation of a regulatory framework for stablecoins and intends to include the proposal in the federal budget scheduled for Nov. 4, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing people familiar with the discussions. Officials from the Department of Finance and other agencies have been holding frequent meetings in recent weeks with market participants and regulators to finalize key details. The talks have focused on how to classify fiat-pegged tokens — whether as securities or derivatives — and on measures to prevent capital moving into foreign, U.S. dollar-backed products. The effort signals Ottawa’s intent to bring stablecoins under a unified regime after years of fragmented oversight. Stablecoins, which are designed to hold a one-to-one value with fiat currencies, have operated in a legal grey zone in Canada. Some have been treated as securities or derivatives depending on their structure, while others have remained unregulated. Industry groups have long argued that the lack of clarity risks driving innovation and capital abroad. Investor Takeaway Canada’s move could create one of the first national frameworks for stablecoins outside the U.S. and EU, reducing uncertainty for issuers and domestic investors. Industry Push for Clarity Executives and policymakers have been calling for faster action on digital currency rules. John Ruffolo, co-chair of the Council of Canadian Innovators, warned earlier this year that regulatory delays could weaken demand for government bonds and push investors toward U.S.-issued stablecoins. He argued that without a domestic alternative, “Canadian capital may flow south.” Such concerns have gained urgency after the U.S. introduced the GENIUS Act in July, defining compliant stablecoins as payment instruments. The law has split policymakers in Washington: Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized it as a “light-touch regulatory framework for crypto banks,” while Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr said key supervisory gaps remain. In contrast, Canada has yet to specify which authority will oversee stablecoin issuers, or how they will be licensed. People briefed on the talks told Bloomberg the framework is likely to address consumer protections, reserve transparency, and redemption rights—issues that have dogged global stablecoin markets since the collapse of TerraUSD in 2022. Global Race to Regulate Stablecoins Canada’s push follows a wave of regulatory activity worldwide. The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) took effect earlier this year, introducing reserve, liquidity, and disclosure requirements for issuers. In Asia, Japan and Hong Kong have rolled out their own licensing regimes, with mixed reactions from the industry. Hong Kong’s August 1 framework, for instance, immediately made it a criminal offense to promote unlicensed stablecoins. According to data from The Block, the total stablecoin market is approaching $300 billion, led by Tether and Circle. Analysts at Standard Chartered expect that figure to reach $1 trillion by 2028, predicting that capital from emerging markets could increasingly flow into dollar-backed tokens as global demand for digital cash grows. While Ottawa has not disclosed whether it will support a Canadian-dollar stablecoin, policymakers are aware of the risk of dollarization through crypto markets. Finance Canada officials have reportedly stressed that the rules will need to balance innovation with monetary stability, a concern also voiced by the Bank of Canada. Investor Takeaway Clear rules could bring major stablecoin issuers into Canada’s regulated market, but delays risk accelerating capital flight toward U.S. and offshore tokens. What to Expect in the November Budget Finance officials are expected to include an outline of the new framework in the Nov. 4 federal budget, though full implementation may take several months. Observers said the timing reflects Ottawa’s broader digital finance agenda, which also includes work on open banking and a potential central bank digital currency. Should the plan move ahead, Canada would join a small group of jurisdictions with defined stablecoin legislation—bridging a regulatory gap that has persisted since 2020. The framework would clarify reporting standards, issuer eligibility, and the treatment of interest-bearing stablecoins, offering long-sought guidance to banks and fintech firms active in digital payments. For markets, the next milestone will be the budget’s release, which is likely to signal whether Canada intends to align with U.S. policy or develop its own approach to digital asset regulation.

Every crypto investor wants high-yield staking, rare NFTs, and gamified earning opportunities. But most forget the simple truth: the best returns are always claimed by early participants. That’s what makes $HUGS, the Milk Mocha token, such a standout in the world of best crypto presales. It’s a multi-utility coin with one gateway — and that’s the whitelist. Whether you're looking to earn passively, collect NFTs, or grind through games for real token rewards, $HUGS is structured to deliver multiple value paths. The earlier you enter, the higher your advantage. The presale doesn't cap wallets, and there’s no KYC. But once the price starts climbing and token supply burns kick in, anyone late to the whitelist will feel the cost. For Stakers: A Cozy Vault With 50% APY Let’s start with the stakers — those who want passive, predictable growth. $HUGS offers a fixed 50% APY on all staked tokens. That’s right, from the moment you stake, your balance starts growing daily. Rewards accumulate in real time, and you can claim or unstake whenever you choose. This isn’t a lock-and-forget system. It’s flexible, liquid, and rewards loyalty with leaderboard perks, NFT badges, and auto-compounding options. Unlike many staking pools that adjust rates or dilute yield over time, $HUGS ensures early participants enjoy maximum growth without penalty. Every token you stake reduces active supply, pushing price support up while your wallet compounds in peace. In a world filled with empty APY promises, this is staking that actually pays. And it starts at the whitelist. For Collectors: NFTs That Actually Do Something The NFT drops linked to $HUGS aren’t generic images. They’re dynamic collectibles that act as keys to gameplay, merch discounts, event access, and rarity upgrades. Every NFT must be purchased with $HUGS, which drives demand and burns supply. Collectors can burn $HUGS to increase the rarity of their NFTs, unlocking animations, traits, and limited seasonal benefits. Some NFTs even give voting power in the Milk Mocha DAO, letting holders shape future releases and charity fund allocations. This is Web3 collectibles with utility layered in — a bridge between emotion, ownership, and interaction. If you’re collecting to flex, win, or gain governance power, it’s all here. But those who buy early will pay less, earn more, and access better drops. All because they got on the whitelist. Real Brand. Real Utility. Real Token Math. Unlike hype tokens with no anchor, $HUGS connects to an actual brand. Milk Mocha are globally recognized, emotionally resonant characters with millions of fans. That kind of emotional IP isn’t just marketable,  it’s sticky. People stay for what they love. And now, they can invest in it too. With 40 presale pricing stages, each week increases the cost of entry. Unsold tokens are burned permanently, which reduces total supply and increases scarcity. This creates real deflation over time, meaning every $HUGS you buy today is mathematically more valuable tomorrow. The best crypto presales are never just about price. They’re about timing, entry, and position. $HUGS nails all three. The Whitelist Is the Starting Line Whether you want to stake, play, collect, or vote, $HUGS gives you the tools. But those tools only matter if you’re early. The whitelist is your chance to start with full access, the best pricing, and the longest runway for rewards. You don’t need to verify your identity. You don’t need to fight for allocation. You just need an email. $HUGS is not another empty meme coin. It’s an emotionally powered, utility-backed token with staking, gaming, NFTs, governance, and a real-world brand at its core. And it might just be the next token to deliver 1000x returns because of how early buyers were rewarded. Join the whitelist now. No KYC. No limits. Just first-mover advantage. Stake, play, collect, and build your position while others are still underestimating the bears.

Citigroup, one of the world's largest banks, said it will work with Coinbase to modernize how big companies and banks move money around the world using cryptocurrency. As more people want faster, borderless payments, the two companies want to build new connections between traditional finance and digital assets, starting with institutional clients.​ Citigroup's "network of networks" idea is the basis for this partnership. It leverages Citigroup's significant presence in 94 markets and 300 payment clearing systems worldwide. Debopama Sen, Citigroup's Head of Payments and Services, says adding Coinbase's crypto rails is the next natural step to make things easier for customers and to send money across borders.​ Phase One: Making the Fiat-Crypto Bridge Stronger In the first phase of the cooperation, Citi will help Coinbase with handling fiat payments and withdrawals for institutional users. This procedure changes ordinary currencies, such as US dollars, into crypto and back again. The purpose is to improve on- and off-ramp services. Businesses that want to get in and out of the digital asset market quickly need these ramps.​ The goal of the alliance is to eliminate the typical problems that have made it hard for businesses to use cryptocurrencies by making the transition between fiat and crypto easier and more trustworthy. Larger companies may benefit from shorter transaction times, lower costs, and easier access to cross-border payments. Expanding Horizons: Stablecoins and New Ideas For The Future Citigroup and Coinbase are exploring additional ways to use stablecoins to improve institutional payments beyond the initial fiat-to-crypto conversion services. Stablecoins are digital tokens linked to the value of fiat currencies. They promise to settle transactions quickly and with reduced volatility, making them well-suited for international transactions.​ The companies have said they will announce additional projects that use stablecoin technology in the coming months. The possible use of stablecoins might change how businesses pay one another across borders, making it faster and more open while also helping digital assets become more widely used. What The Market Thinks and What it Means For The Industry The announcement has sparked significant market activity. Coinbase's shares rose about 4% on the news, suggesting investors are cautiously optimistic while retail sentiment remains indifferent. Shares of Citigroup also rose, though not by much. This is because some investors are still unsure about the long-term effects.​ The relationship is a sign of a bigger trend in the industry: big banks are using crypto technology to stay competitive as the digital asset economy evolves. These kinds of partnerships not only show that cryptocurrencies can be used for commercial payments, but they also open the door for new ways for businesses to handle money around the world. Citigroup and Coinbase have suggested that further details on their collaborative efforts will be disclosed in the near future as they explore new products and solutions to make global payments cheaper, faster, and easier for institutional participants. The alliance might accelerate the adoption of crypto-powered payment rails worldwide by exploring stablecoins and new payment networks.​

New Bitcoin Layer-2 project Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) has rocketed to $25 million in fundraising during its ongoing token presale. It’s one of the most successful crypto presales of the year and promises to revolutionize the Bitcoin blockchain. The new Bitcoin Hyper Layer-2 will combine the speed and efficiency of Solana with the security and decentralization of Bitcoin. It stands to unlock a new era of Bitcoin payments while opening the door to Bitcoin-based DeFi, meme coins, play-to-earn games, and more. All of this potential relies on the HYPER token to drive the new Layer-2, so it’s no wonder that investors are rushing to get their hands on it before it hits exchanges. During the presale, HYPER is available to buy at a price of $0.013165. Investors can stake their tokens immediately to earn dynamic APY up to 48%. The Bitcoin Hyper team has been hard at work executing on its roadmap, so there may not be much time remaining before the HYPER presale closes and the token officially launches. Investors won’t want to miss this opportunity to get in early on the future of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Hyper’s SVM Architecture Unlocks Speed and Smart Contract Capabilities Bitcoin Hyper is unique among Layer-2 networks because it targets Bitcoin rather than Ethereum. Whereas Layer-2s for Ethereum attempt to solve that blockchain’s issues with smart contract scalability, Bitcoin has never had smart contract capabilities in the first place. Bitcoin Hyper is introducing them with a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)-based architecture. It effectively imports Solana’s smart contract features and fast processing speeds to the Bitcoin blockchain, while maintaining Bitcoin’s underlying proof-of-work security model and decentralization. No matter how fast you THINK you are... You'll never catch up to $HYPER ?⚡️https://t.co/VNG0P4GuDo pic.twitter.com/slYOuVIne0 — Bitcoin Hyper (@BTC_Hyper2) October 23, 2025 The key to the new Layer-2 is the Bitcoin Relay Program, an SVM smart contract that enables users to bridge BTC from the main Bitcoin blockchain to Bitcoin Hyper and back. Tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain are locked to the smart contract when they’re bridged to Bitcoin Hyper, and users receive an equivalent amount of wrapped Bitcoin on the Layer-2. They can then use Bitcoin for an infinite range of smart contract-enabled applications: DeFi, token creation, gaming, decentralized computing, AI, and much more. Anything users can do on Solana, they’ll be able to do—using Bitcoin—on Bitcoin Hyper. Users can also send Bitcoin payments over Bitcoin Hyper much more quickly and cheaply than they can currently send BTC over the Bitcoin mainnet. That could usher in a new era of Bitcoin payments, one in which BTC competes directly with stablecoins like USDT as the crypto of choice for global transactions. When Bitcoin Hyper users want to bridge back to the Layer-1, they can burn their wrapped Bitcoin on the Layer-2 and unlock their Bitcoin on the mainnet. It’s a fully seamless and trustless process that takes place at the speed of Solana. HYPER Token Powers New Layer-2, Creating Overwhelming Demand Bitcoin Hyper’s native HYPER token plays a central role in the new Layer-2. It’s used to pay for transactions on the network, ensuring that users don’t have to give up precious BTC in order to use Bitcoin Hyper. HYPER also serves as a governance token, giving the community a direct say in the future development of the Bitcoin Hyper network. That has contributed to overwhelming demand for HYPER during the project’s presale. Everyone who wants to use Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer-2 will need HYPER, and the presale offers a chance to lock in tokens at a heavily discounted price. Crypto analysts have pointed to HYPER as potentially one of the most valuable new tokens of the year. Borch Crypto singled out Bitcoin Hyper as the best crypto to buy now and predicted it could explode after launch. Cilinix Crypto also praised the token and explained in a recent video why he personally owns a stash of HYPER. In another sign of Bitcoin Hyper’s momentum, crypto whales are jumping into the token presale. One whale bought up more than $800,000 worth of HYPER tokens earlier this month. The project brought in more than $5.4 million in total in the past 30 days alone. Join the Bitcoin Hyper Presale Today Investors have a chance to join the Bitcoin Hyper presale today and be among the first to access this game-changing new Layer-2. The presale is selling tokens at a price of $0.013165 and anyone can make a purchase with SOL, ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, or a credit card. Bitcoin Hyper recommends using Best Wallet to buy tokens. Best Wallet is a free crypto wallet for iOS and Android, and it offers direct access to the HYPER token presale as well as the ability to track and stake your holdings and claim tokens once Bitcoin Hyper goes live. The token presale price is set to increase in less than 24 hours, so there’s no time to wait to lock in tokens.

SharpLink Gaming has attracted significant market attention by investing heavily in Ethereum. They bought 19,271 ETH, which is worth about $78.3 million. This smart investment comes at a time when Ethereum is gaining momentum again, pushing prices back above $4,200 and making both retail and institutional investors feel bullish.  The purchase is SharpLink's first significant buy since it paused purchases for a month, underscoring the company's commitment to growing its digital asset reserves amid changing market conditions. On-chain data supports the move, showing that SharpLink is among the largest corporate ETH holders in the world. Growing the Ethereum Treasury SharpLink's most recent purchase boosts its total Ethereum holdings to over 859,853 ETH, which is worth more than $3.6 billion on the market. With such large reserves, the sports gaming technology company is one of the largest corporate holders of Ethereum in the world. SharpLink sees Ethereum as more than just a risky investment; it's a strategic balance sheet asset that will support both innovation and liquidity.  This treasury expansion fits with the company's bigger plan to tokenize its Nasdaq-listed SBET shares through a partnership with Superstate. This shows that the company wants more than just to keep the shares. SharpLink's proactive approach also aligns with a new trend in which corporations use programmable money and digital assets that pay interest to make their treasuries more effective. Trends in Institutional Accumulation Corporations are still buying a lot of Ethereum across the board. Corporations now own about 5.98 million ETH, or about 4.94% of the total Ethereum supply currently in circulation. These numbers show that more institutions are increasingly confident in Ethereum as a strong, long-term financial tool.  The increase in strategic ETH holdings indicates that digital assets are maturing, as companies recognize that Ethereum can serve as a programmable reserve that generates revenue for them. This accumulation activity adds to the overall bullish momentum, helping keep the market stable and increasing liquidity, even though Ethereum is often volatile. The Price of Ethereum is Rising Again Ethereum's price has risen sharply, reaching $4,238, a 7.53% increase over the last 24 hours. Recent support at $3,750 has been critical, as ETH has started to rebound and is approaching key resistance levels around $4,250. ETH has risen 4.61% over the last week, making up for losses earlier in October.  The technical situation remains good, with a rising RSI and increased trade volume suggesting bullish momentum. If the price breaks out and closes above $4,253, it might rise further, with targets between $4,730 and $4,750, which was the previous monthly high. If ETH doesn't stay above $4,200, it could go back down to support around $3,750. SharpLink Gaming's most recent accumulation gives us a glimpse at how Ethereum is changing the way businesses handle money. The company shows why ETH is still the most critical blockchain investment for institutions by combining treasury expansion with a forward-looking tokenization plan. As Ethereum approaches new highs and companies build their reserves, market optimism and strategic conviction will help the ecosystem grow further.

The Snorter Bot token (SNORT) presale is set to close in just 48 hours after raising more than $5.5 million in one of the most successful crypto ICOs of 2025. For traders and investors who haven’t gotten their hands on SNORT yet, this is the final opportunity to lock in tokens ahead of the launch.  The SNORT token is key to gaining early access to the upcoming Snorter Bot crypto trading bot and for qualifying for heavily discounted trading fees. Analysts anticipate that the token price could rocket 100x or more after SNORT hits exchanges, so traders who miss this chance could be left chasing a sky-high pump if they want to use Snorter Bot. While the presale remains open, traders can buy tokens at a final price of $0.1083. The project is also offering instant staking at a dynamic APY up to 102%. Snorter Bot Revolutionizes Crypto Trading with Ultra-fast Sniper Snorter Bot stands out in a crowded field of crypto trading bots with a series of game-changing features. The trading bot will be built natively on Solana, giving it an instant speed edge over existing trading bots like Maestro and Banana Gun. Those and other popular crypto trading bots are still tethered to the Ethereum blockchain, slowing down transactions and saddling traders with expensive gas fees. Snorter Bot isn’t just for Solana, though. After launch, the project plans to expand to Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, and Base. That’ll put the project on all the biggest networks for meme coins and introduce Snorter Bot to a potentially massive audience of traders. Snorter Bot plans to use its speed and interoperability to roll out a revolutionary meme coin sniper. It will automatically scan DEXs for the hottest tokens and fast-moving liquidity pools, putting the best trading opportunities in front of users before the rest of the market even knows they exist. The bot is pairing its sniper with advanced detection systems to screen out rug pulls and honeypots. It’s a game-changing combination of speed, quality, and safety to give traders a significant market edge. Demand for SNORT Token Soars in Final Days of Presale The Snorter Bot token presale is coming in hot to its final days. The presale has racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in new investment in the last 48 hours alone, aided by a surprise token burn from the Snorter Bot team. The token burn eliminated 250 million SNORT tokens—50% of the total supply. It represents a massive display of confidence in the project’s future and a windfall for early investors, whose tokens are now worth significantly more than they were just a few days ago. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Snorter team just incinerated a huge burn, 50% of token supply. My friends, you are simply not bullish enough for the token launch on Monday. Last few days to jump in early. https://t.co/kMnkFjGb5c pic.twitter.com/NIoQQphP5g — Snorter (@SnorterToken) October 24, 2025 That’s just icing on the cake for many traders who bought into the SNORT presale because of the token’s utility within the Snorter Bot ecosystem. Holding SNORT gets them first access to the trading bot, providing them with a first-mover advantage as Snorter Bot’s sniper rolls out and starts identifying opportunities for profits. In addition, SNORT holders pay a discounted fee of just 0.85% when using Snorter Bot. That’s lower than the fee for any other major crypto trading bot. It’s no wonder that traders have been pouring into Snorter Bot presale. The project team also plans to develop a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for SNORT token holders in the future. So, the value of this token is only expected to grow over time. It’s with all this in mind that prominent crypto analysts are throwing their weight behind Snorter Bot. Borch Crypto predicted the SNORT token could deliver a 100x pump after it hits exchanges, while June Crypto called it one of the best new tokens of the year. Last Chance to Buy SNORT: Here’s How to Join the Presale Snorter Bot is officially closing its token presale at 2pm UTC on Monday, October 27. That’s less than 48 hours away, so traders have to hurry if they want to lock in tokens at the presale price. Anyone can join the presale by visiting Snorter Bot’s site and connecting a wallet. The presale accepts purchases using SOL, ETH, BNB, USDT, USDC, and even credit cards. The Snorter Bot team recommends using Best Wallet to connect.
