🏦 3 models for central bank money onchain, named by the ECB

ECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel laid them out at the Bank of England's conference in London. First: the central bank issues reserves straight onto a programmable platform. Second: today's settlement system stays and a separate layer links it to DLT venues, with the reserves left untokenised. Third: reserves are tokenised and settlement tokens fully backed by them go into circulation, which makes them private claims rather than claims on the central bank. The two-tier structure survives in all three.

🏛 Triple leverage on bitcoin cleared in the US, and the multiplier lasts one day

On October 2 the Securities and Exchange Commission approved the listing of six Volatility Shares funds on Cboe BZX: triple exposure to gold, silver, bitcoin, ether, crude oil and natural gas.

Here is the part the headlines drop. Each fund targets three times the move of a single day, and it measures that move against a basket of near-month futures, not against the price of bitcoin. Over anything longer than a day compounding takes over: the result drifts away from three times the asset, in size and sometimes in direction. That is not fine print. The issuer says it plainly and asks holders to check their position daily.

The regulator handed out no blessing either. The order spells out the heightened rules that apply when these shares are sold: a broker has to be satisfied the client can carry the risk, and FINRA raises margin requirements on leveraged products. Approval means the shares may trade, not that they suit a portfolio.

My reading is simple. If you hold bitcoin for a year, a 3x fund solves a different problem. If you hold it for a day, assume the whole amount can be gone by the evening: that is the issuer's own wording.

☀️ $45 billion traded in a day, 2.7 times less than yesterday

• BTC: $84,803 (+0.2% in 24h, +0.6% in a week)
• ETH: $2,693 (+0.5% in 24h)
• SOL: $120.06 (+0.8% in 24h)
• Market cap: $2.90T (−2.3% in 24h)
• Sentiment: 65, greed (67 yesterday)


Bitcoin dominance is 58.6%. The market lost 2.3% of its value over the day while bitcoin itself closed higher: the drop came from altcoins. Bitcoin itself is up 0.6% over the week, and that is its entire move in seven days.

🛡 Three hours — that is all investigators had after the Bitget hack

Chainalysis has laid out how the $387 million stolen from the exchange on September 24 moved. The firm attributes the attack to a group linked to North Korea.

What the trace showed

• in the first three hours the funds left in 23 transfers across four chains: Ethereum 49.7%, XRP 40.8%, Zcash 7.6%, Tron 1.8%
• the stolen XRP never went to an exchange — it was pushed through a cross-chain liquidity protocol and came out as bitcoin
• manual bridge reconciliation would have taken over 20 hours; automation did it in under 10 minutes


Labels on the stolen addresses reached exchanges and law enforcement only after the money was already spread across four chains. Keep on an exchange what you are prepared to lose overnight, and hold the rest in a wallet whose keys are yours.

🔌 $32 million is what is left in a network that once held over $2 billion

Blast, an Ethereum Layer 2, has announced it is winding down: running the chain costs more than it earns. Withdrawals through the normal interface stay open until October 26; after that users have to work with the bridge contracts on Ethereum directly. Blast went live in November 2023 after a $20 million round led by Paradigm.

🧾 One cent on the dollar — that is the current payout for victims of Drift’s April hack

The exchange Drift, now Velocity, has opened claims for everyone who lost funds on April 1. Each verified USDT of loss gets one DFX token; supply is fixed at 299.5 million and no more will be minted.

How the recovery works

DFX is redeemed for USDT from a recovery pool. The redemption amount is the whole pool divided by the outstanding supply: the pool holds about 3.1 million USDT today, so one token is worth roughly 0.0104 USDT. It is topped up once a day with a share of Velocity’s net protocol revenue — 60% to 90%, depending on daily volume. A token burned at redemption no longer shares in later deposits, so the claim of everyone still holding grows.

The big money has not landed yet: Tether pledged up to 127.5 million USDT and partners up to another 20 million. About 295.4 million was stolen. Claims stay open until January 1, 2028; unclaimed DFX burns.

💸 $3.8 million drained from NEAR Intents

The protocol people use to swap coins across chains halted services on October 1. The bug sat in how the Omni deposit and withdrawal layer talked to the smart contract; the team patched it and promised to cover the losses in full. Investigator ZachXBT traced the funds to the KuCoin exchange and onward into bitcoin, while deposits and withdrawals on eleven networks stayed down for about another twelve hours.

🏛 The SEC has written down how funds may hold crypto

On October 1 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission put out for comment a custody framework for registered investment advisers and regulated funds. Today's requirements were drafted for paper assets, and for some coins a permitted custodian simply does not exist.

True self-custody is not the right choice for everyone, but many crypto owners prize being able to custody their own assets
— Hester Peirce, SEC Commissioner


Under the proposal, state-chartered trust companies could act as custodians. In limited cases — when the adviser finds no permitted custodian for an asset — the adviser could hold client crypto itself.

One caveat matters. "Self-custody" here means the adviser becoming the custodian of client assets, not a private investor gaining new rights over their own keys. Peirce spelled that out separately.

The comment period runs 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. This is a proposal, not a rule in force.

☀️ $84,906 — bitcoin after a day up 1.7%

• BTC: $84,906 (+1.7% in 24h, +0.4% in 7d)
• ETH: $2,711 (+0.9% in 24h)
• SOL: $119.67 (+1.3% in 24h)
• Market cap: $2.90T (−1.7% in 24h)
• Sentiment: 72, greed (74 yesterday)

The top three are up while total market cap is down over the same day — the cap counts every coin, not the three biggest. Bitcoin dominance is 58.6%, turnover $98 billion. AAVE leads the day at +7.9%. Over the past month 34 of the 50 largest coins outran bitcoin.

🗣 Round-the-clock trading is not what sets an onchain venue apart

That is how Jeff Yan, co-founder of the Hyperliquid exchange, put it at Korea Blockchain Week on 30 September. He puts the difference elsewhere:

Onchain finance really, at its core, means that users have still retained control and custody of their funds. I think that's the number one thing
— The Block


Traditional venues already copy the clock: Robinhood announced weekend stock trading this week. The keys stay with them.

💵 Over 200 banks, fintechs and companies are behind a new dollar stablecoin

The Open Standard group launched the Open USD stablecoin on 30 September. The issuer is Bridge, a Stripe company; reserves sit with BlackRock, Lead Bank and BNY, with attestations promised monthly.

The token runs on Ethereum, Solana, Base and Tempo, and minting or burning it against the dollar is one to one at no cost. Partners are paid in proportion to the supply and activity they bring.

📋 Until 18 October Bybit pays you to keep RLUSD in your account

• rewards use the lowest of 24 hourly balance snapshots
• Identity Verification Lv.1 and at least 1 RLUSD are required; RLUSD in Savings or borrowed does not count
• 0% maker and taker fees on the RLUSD/USDT pair since 19 September

📚 Three pieces of the week worth opening at the source

• On 28 September Apple patched a CoreGraphics flaw (CVE-2026-86950): opening a crafted file could run someone else's code on the device. The document itself says the issue was already used in an «extremely sophisticated attack» against specific individuals. The fix is iOS and iPadOS 26.7.1.
• The Block
covered the return of the zk.money wallet: Aztec relaunched it on its own layer over Ethereum three years after it closed.
• CryptoQuant,
via The Block: unrealised profit held by bitcoin holders has reached a 21-month high, and the firm's analysts read that as a correction being near.

Only the first item asks anything of you today.

💵 $15.3 million taken by two schemes that met investors in group chats

On 29 September the Securities and Exchange Commission filed two complaints in the Southern District of New York. Cryptoaiml misappropriated more than $12.5 million, TSAI Pro more than $2.8 million.

Both claimed to be regulated by the agency and posted a falsified Form D on their sites. The first ran WhatsApp group chats with AI trading «signals»; the second rented out trading bots that did not exist. Investors who tried to withdraw were told their accounts were frozen until they paid a fee.

📊 10x leverage on bitcoin, inside a U.S. broker's app

On 29 September Robinhood laid out its line-up for active traders. The crypto part of it is perpetual futures.

Before
A U.S. trader who wanted perps went to an offshore venue or an onchain exchange. The brokerage account stayed for stocks.

Now
The contracts come from Robinhood Derivatives through Bitstamp: eight assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK, HYPE), up to 10x leverage on bitcoin and ether and 3x on the rest, one basis point per trade through the end of the year. The app promises stop-loss and take-profit orders, a live liquidation price and an alert when a position is at risk.

No date: «in the coming months», «eligible U.S. customers». Weekend equities trading is a plan too, and the same text marks it as pending regulatory review. Nothing to trade today.

🗓 Three U.S. macro releases land inside two days

A timeline of three dates:

• 29 September, 10:00 New York — JOLTS job openings for August
• 30 September, 08:30 New York — personal income and outlays for August, with the PCE price index
• 30 September, 08:30 New York — the third estimate of U.S. GDP for the second quarter


The first date was set by the Bureau of Labor Statistics; the other two sit on the Bureau of Economic Analysis calendar. Both agencies fix the hour in advance and do not move it on the day.

PCE is the price index the Federal Reserve leans on in its own inflation projections. If you are holding leverage, knowing those half-hours in advance beats reading the candle afterwards.
