Garrett Jin released this week's market report, characterizing the rebound in the South Korean market as a wide-ranging fluctuation rather than a new trend. SK Hynix rebounded continuously after retesting the 1.42 million won area, closing up 5.9% at 1,593,000 won. The KOSPI has risen 20% from the July low, entering a technical bull market, but foreign capital has not shifted to long-term holdings, and the drag from leveraged ETFs remains. Garrett Jin set the first profit-taking level at $1,150 (approximately 1.63 million won), with the next target at $1,300 (1.85 million won).Garrett Jin also noted that gold recorded its strongest weekly gain since January this week at +7.8%, priced at $4,388. The driving factors were a decrease of 23,000 in July non-farm payrolls and a moderate CPI that dampened September rate hike expectations. However, it is currently overbought in the short term, and a pullback could present an opportunity for incremental accumulation. Bitcoin has shown no response to the same macro-positive factors, remaining trapped between the support at $62,500 and resistance at $65,000-$70,000, with the bottom structure since $57,700 gradually being built. Garrett Jin will wait for the next buying opportunity after a pullback.Regarding SpaceX, Garrett Jin believes the recent performance is a classic case of "bad news fully priced in + short squeeze," with the unlocking itself becoming a washout rather than the starting point of a decline. However, the unlocking window has not yet ended, with an additional 319 million shares to be unlocked, approximately 700 million shares each in September and October. The current range up to $160 is a profit-taking zone rather than a high-entry zone.

BIP-110 received only about 2.5% miner hash power support when the activation deadline was reached and failed to activate. The nodes executing the proposal forked from the mainnet at block height 961632, and a minority chain subsequently stopped producing blocks.Bitcoin Mechanic, a supporter of BIP-110, stated that this outcome proves Bitcoin has encountered "protocol capture," where large mining pool operators coordinate to influence consensus rules and undermine node sovereignty. Since the minority chain received less than 3% of the total network hash power, its inherited mining difficulty led to a halt in block production. Some supporters are considering changing the PoW algorithm through a hard fork, and Bitcoin Mechanic indicated that they would wait to resume node operations after the Bitcoin Knots update.Cysic founder and CEO Leo Fan stated that the difficulty adjustment mechanism protects the main chain, and the mandatory activation design of BIP-110 is the main issue. The anonymous owner of 1win pointed out that the proposal only received 2.53% support, below the 55% activation threshold, and the main chain is still continuously operating.

According to Cryptopolitan, cybersecurity company Malwarebytes discovered that a user on a cybercrime forum is selling a "scam toolkit" for $500, which can set up a fake $TSLA token presale website with almost no technical background required.The scam process is as follows: after visitors enter an X username, the page displays their real avatar to create the illusion of a "targeted invitation," combined with a countdown and price increase warnings to create a sense of urgency. If victims choose the "15% reward link wallet" option, they will be asked to enter a 12-word recovery phrase, resulting in their wallet being emptied; if they choose to "invest" directly, they must send cryptocurrency assets to an address controlled by the scammers, and then see a fabricated balance on a fake dashboard. The toolkit's control panel allows operators to track victims in real-time, collect recovery phrases, and check wallet balances in advance to decide whether to strike. Malwarebytes discovered this toolkit on May 16, and recently IRS and Ledger users have also encountered similar phishing attacks.

According to The Block, a couple in the Somme department of France faced three break-ins in less than a month after purchasing the former home of a cryptocurrency millionaire. The incidents were triggered by the previous owner's tax information and address being leaked to the dark web, leading criminals to mistakenly believe that the new residents held approximately 1 million euros in cryptocurrency assets.The first break-in was thwarted by a dog, the second intruder subdued the residents and live-streamed the attack on Snapchat, and after confirming the target was incorrect, fled; the third break-in was scared off by the alarm system. The Amiens Criminal Court subsequently convicted two men (aged 20 and 21) involved in the third break-in, sentencing them to 3 years and 18 months in prison, respectively.

According to TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), a whale starting with 0x519c initiated a large TWAP buy order during the pre-market period, planning to purchase 74,500 SPCX within 150 minutes, with a nominal amount of approximately $9.998 million based on the current price. As of the time of writing, 4,420.1 of this TWAP has been executed, with a transaction amount of approximately $593,000 and an average transaction price of $134.26, currently achieving about 5.9% completion.Including the executed portion, this whale is currently long on approximately 21,600 SPCX with a 10x full position, with a position value of about $2.9 million, an average entry price of $120.28, and an unrealized profit of about $301,000.

According to Arkham Research, Bitmine, the world's largest Ethereum treasury company, currently holds approximately 5.81 million ETH, valued at nearly $11 billion. After 14 months of continuous accumulation, its holdings have reached 4.8% of the ETH supply, achieving about 96% of its publicly set acquisition target of 5%. Unlike Bitcoin treasury companies such as Strategy, Bitmine has used over 5 million ETH for staking to earn interest, with an annualized staking income estimated at approximately $257 million based on a yield of about 2.63%.According to Arkham's analysis, the most likely scenario for the trajectory after reaching the 5% target is that Bitmine will slow down its purchases. On-chain data shows that its acquisition pace has already slowed this year, and after surpassing 5%, it may shift towards balance sheet management and maximizing staking returns. The second most likely scenario is to continue buying at the same pace. Considering that Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, who leads this strategy, has consistently been bullish, it is possible that they will continue to increase their holdings after breaking through 5%. The least likely scenario is to completely stop buying. If this largest enterprise-level ETH buyer in the market exits the demand side, it may temporarily weaken bullish sentiment, but even without new additions, its staking holdings will still grow passively through network rewards.
