In the derivatives market, Binance's ETH open contract volume decreased by 1.3 billion USD in the past month, a decline of nearly 20%, dropping to 5.7 billion USD; the total amount of ETH open contracts across the network has fallen to 11.5 billion USD.

White Whale Labs released a study titled "The Audit Of The Memecoin Casino," stating that since late August, it has recorded all Pump.fun and Stonk new coin transactions on Solana, covering over 1 million liquidity pools and 7.7 million wallets with 384 million exchanges, with data exceeding 56 GB and 820 million rows. This dataset adds 18 to 25 million transactions daily, with up to about 1 million wallets and over 60,000 newly issued projects.The study claims that among the coins that have had real transactions, about one-tenth will double within the following 24 hours. Among 22.8 million first purchases within two weeks, 17% doubled before a 40% drop; using a doubling take-profit and a 40% drop stop-loss while accounting for costs, the average loss per transaction is about 19%. Clusters consisting of 450 to 2000 wallets often concentrate their purchases within one to two minutes after going live, with the doubling ratio for related coins being 28% to 46%, and their entry doubling before a 40% drop is 50% to 60%, higher than the 17% of other wallets. The daily count of groups tracked is between 9 and 33.Copy trading tests show that entering two minutes behind large clusters results in a single coin loss of 41% for 93 coins, with a median drop of 95%; tracking groups with positive records still shows a single coin loss of 11%, and backtesting a single wallet shows a single transaction loss of 20%. A few tight-knit groups made about 10% profit on 16 coins. Neural networks increased the doubling ratio from about 10% to 26%, but out of 771 selections over 8 days, daily results were negative, with an average loss of about 11%, a median drop of 45%, and 55% triggering stop-loss within 24 hours. White Whale Labs stated that after spending thousands of dollars on API, VPS, and model costs, no monetizable advantage was found, and they believe that meme coin trading is almost entirely driven by cluster wallets.

Most risks are concentrated among those who manage their addresses poorly. Hayes does not believe that quantum computing is a catalyst for panic or selling Bitcoin at this time.

Recently, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han accepted an exclusive interview with the cryptocurrency media Bitcoin.com, reflecting on Gate's journey from developing its underlying trading system in 2013 to becoming a platform serving over 61 million users across more than 130 countries and regions. He further elaborated on the strategic vision of the TOKEN2049 keynote speech "One Gate, Everything Money."Dr. Han stated that in the face of the long-standing barriers between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market, users have often faced the dilemma of fragmented capital management. They not only need to frequently transfer funds between banks, brokerages, and cryptocurrency platforms but also have to keep a large amount of cash idle in bank accounts, suffering losses from inflation and lack of returns. Meanwhile, high-quality assets like stocks and gold are difficult to consume immediately due to liquidity constraints.To address this industry pain point, Gate officially launched the integrated financial application Gate Money, which consolidates fiat currency, cryptocurrency assets, gold, ETFs, and over 12,800 global stocks into a single account. Users no longer need to hold large amounts of low-yield idle cash and can allocate capital to high-quality assets with value preservation and appreciation potential. When a consumption demand arises, the system will instantly convert the corresponding assets into fiat currency for payment, keeping the funds in an investment state before consumption.

Cryptocurrency analyst Darkfost stated that currently, above the price level of approximately $83,000, 53% of the invested capital is concentrated. This means that if Bitcoin is purchased at this level, the holding cost will be better than that of more than half of the investors.The range of $84,000 to $85,000 is the largest chip distribution cluster, and many investors react at this critical level, so this range is clearly the core resistance that Bitcoin must break through. Looking below, the range of $79,000 to $77,000 may become a support level. If the price cannot effectively break through $84,000-$85,000, the market may first retest this support area; however, once it stabilizes above the densely concentrated chip area, it means that the cost pressure for most holders has been digested, and the subsequent upward resistance will be significantly reduced.
