Thailand's regulator finalized a rulebook for locally listed bitcoin and ether funds, with a single-asset structure and an 80% exposure floor. No fund has been approved yet.
The Cardano Foundation has turned its Veridian digital identity project into a standalone company and tokenized most of its 1 million shares on Cardano. It is the first business to use CIP-0113, a new standard that builds compliance rules into tokens.
Fraudsters are talking victims into feeding cash into Bitcoin machines that send the money beyond reach. Reported losses at crypto kiosks in the United States passed $388 million in 2025, and older adults are hit hardest. Here is how the scam works and how to protect your family.
Bitcoin slid toward $80,000 this week, days before the first anniversary of the October 2025 flash crash that force-closed a record $19 billion in leveraged bets in a single day. What happened then, and what has actually changed, a year on.
Crypto drops rarely come out of nowhere. Most sell-offs trace back to the same short list of triggers: too much borrowed money, a shift in interest rates, a scare that breaks trust, or a government rule that lands overnight. Here is how each one pushes the price down.
Mining Bitcoin on your own is still legal and technically possible, but one home rig against a world of giant farms faces odds that run into the millions. Here is how solo mining works, what your real chances are, and why a lucky few still take a whole block.
US spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded their largest daily outflow since June on October 7, pulling $484.9 million as bitcoin dropped to a multi-week low. A jump in oil prices and fresh Middle East tension pushed investors out of riskier bets.

Thailand is opening its stock market to bitcoin and ether ETFs, giving everyday investors a regulated way to own crypto.
Our read: The rules are real and dated, confirmed by three independent outlets citing the SEC's own statement. But no fund has been approved, no manager has applied in public, and no launch date is set. The framework effective October 16 is permission to apply, not a live product.
Tokenized company equity is now a working reality on Cardano, with the first operating company issuing its own shares on-chain.
Our read: A real spinout did tokenize most of its 1 million shares using CIP-0113, and a Swiss industry body recognized the standard. But the shares are not sold to the public, no outside investor has bought in, the issuer is the Foundation's own creation, and the CIP document still sits at proposal status.
The October 2025 wipeout was an outside shock, a tariff headline, and the market's plumbing held up.
Our read: Coinglass logged a record $19 billion in liquidations and about 1.6 million accounts closed in 24 hours. The tariff post was the trigger, but thin liquidity, heavy leverage and one exchange's internal pricing turned a selloff into a cascade. No formal post-mortem has been published, and leverage is high again.
A heavy ETF exodus and a sharp bitcoin drop mark the start of a deeper downturn.
Our read: The $484.9 million outflow and the slide toward $82,000 are real and timestamped. But the June 25 outflow was larger, the funds still hold about $57.8 billion in net inflows, and no source tied the price fall directly to the ETF selling. One session is not a trend.

Mining Bitcoin on your own is still legal and technically possible, but one home rig against a world of giant farms faces odds that run into the millions. Here is how solo mining works, what your real chances are, and why a lucky few still take a whole block.
The US government shifted 12,267 bitcoin worth about $1.01 billion out of a wallet tied to the 2016 Bitfinex hack on 8 October 2026. The coins went to unlabeled addresses, not an exchange, so a sale is not confirmed.
A quantum computer could in theory pull a Bitcoin private key from its public key, but the hardware is nowhere close. Breaking one key in a day would take an estimated 13 million qubits. The best public chip has 105. Here is the real risk and the real timeline.
The Cardano Foundation has turned its Veridian digital identity project into a standalone company and tokenized most of its 1 million shares on Cardano. It is the first business to use CIP-0113, a new standard that builds compliance rules into tokens.
Samsung will let eligible US Galaxy owners send USDC to crypto wallets and overseas bank accounts straight from Samsung Wallet, with a launch due in the last week of October 2026. Bastion and Coinbase handle custody. Store payments are not part of the first release.
Rain, a stablecoin payments firm, has applied to the OCC for a national trust bank that would hold digital assets and manage stablecoin reserves. The filing lands three days after community banks sued the regulator over the same kind of charter.
Ledger has added a feature that lets wallet users borrow stablecoins against wrapped Bitcoin through the Morpho lending protocol, without selling their coins or giving up custody. The company unveiled Crypto Loan at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore on October 7.
The DeFi lender's community is deciding whether to hand Sentora control of a new lending market on Aave V4. The pitch is a 50/50 revenue split at no cost to the DAO. The catch sits with the people who supply the funds.
Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade activates on the Sepolia test network on October 6, 2026, in its first public trial. The release moves block building into the protocol and opens a path toward a 200 million gas limit, though the mainnet date is still unset.

Strategy added just 334 bitcoin in the week to October 4, one of its smallest buys of 2026, while spending $73.7 million on preferred share buybacks and $142.5 million on preferred dividends. It still holds 848,000 BTC, the largest corporate stash on record.
