CoinShares released a report indicating that Bitcoin has shown relative strength this week against the backdrop of renewed volatility in the risk asset market, primarily due to a rebound in spot buying, improved stock market sentiment, and some short covering. Overall, the market is gradually reducing its enthusiasm for the AI narrative and is instead focusing more on whether corporate earnings can meet expectations.The poor performance of some U.S. corporate earnings reports has triggered significant stock price fluctuations, which have also affected Bitcoin to some extent, but it still demonstrates strong resilience overall. Meanwhile, macroeconomic signals in the U.S. remain mixed, with the housing market continuing to weaken. In terms of interest rates, the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates at the meeting on October 28. The market's expectations for another rate hike in December remain high, with the related probability close to 83%.The weakness in the housing market provides some room for the Federal Reserve to pause rate hikes, but last week's higher-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data indicate that inflation remains a key factor limiting a shift in policy. If the Federal Reserve unexpectedly raises rates next week, it could trigger more pronounced financial market volatility due to exceeding market expectations; in contrast, maintaining interest rates and continuing to release hawkish signals would be easier for the market to digest. Overall, the current market remains in a state of intertwining bullish and bearish factors. Improved spot demand, Bitcoin's enhanced ability to withstand stock market volatility, and the cooling housing market all provide some support for the market; however, inflationary pressures have not yet dissipated, limiting the Federal Reserve's room to ease policy. The subsequent trend of Bitcoin is expected to remain highly influenced by interest rate expectations and the overall liquidity environment, with the importance of single industry or market catalysts being relatively limited.

Bitwise released a report indicating that Bitcoin is currently holding resiliently around $82,000, a price level close to the spot ETF holding cost. Key support levels below include the short-term holder cost price of approximately $74,800 and the real market average of about $77,600. The former can serve as a reference for judging the short-term market direction, while the latter corresponds to the price level at which half of the invested capital in the market is in profit or loss. The price range formed by these two points may become the dividing line between bulls and bears.The trading range for Bitcoin over the past 30 days and 60 days has narrowed to 1.8% and 3.0%, respectively, with the implied volatility at-the-money for each term also approaching the lower end of the distribution range over the past three years. Among them, the 3-month and 6-month implied volatility are at the 0.8 and 0.2 percentiles of historical distribution, indicating that the market's pricing for future volatility has dropped to extremely low levels.So far this week, net inflows into U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs have reached $1.074 billion, rising in sync with the cumulative trading volume of the spot market, providing support for Bitcoin prices and offsetting some macro pressures. However, realized profits in the market have also increased, particularly among long-term holders. Meanwhile, the net position change indicator for long-term holders is negative, suggesting they may be in a distribution phase, which could be one reason for the ongoing consolidation of Bitcoin prices.

Slow Fog released a threat intelligence report stating that they recently received user feedback about a GitHub repository named sol-live, which disguises itself as a Solidity interview practice project. However, it hides commands in the .vscode/settings.json file to download and execute remote scripts, which may trigger malicious payloads when users start the project with custom terminal configurations.Slow Fog's analysis shows that the related malicious payloads can collect browser login databases, wallet extension storage, and macOS Keychain files. They also have the capability to scan and upload local files, execute remote commands, provide interactive Shell access, and monitor the clipboard. In macOS and Linux environments, the malicious terminal configuration must be actively initiated by the user to execute; the attack chain on Windows has not been confirmed due to issues with quote handling.

Heatbit, which previously launched a heater with a built-in Bitcoin mining machine, has announced the release of a heating element for water heaters named Bitwater. This element replaces the resistance wire in standard electric water heater elements with 20 Bitcoin mining chips, using the heat generated by the chips to directly heat the water in the tank. Heatbit stated that this electricity was originally intended for heating water, "the same heat, the same electricity, plus Bitcoin." The company claims that global households use approximately 300 TWh of electricity annually for heating water, which exceeds the entire Bitcoin network's consumption of about 170 TWh, advocating for the decentralization of mining to households.Bitwater uses 20 Bitmain BM1370 chips, with a maximum hash rate of 34 TH/s, a maximum power consumption of 600 watts, and an energy efficiency of 12 joules/TH. Due to water cooling, this element requires no fans and produces no noise. The installation process is DIY: turn off the circuit breaker, drain the tank, unscrew the old element, and then screw in the Bitwater using the included wrench. It is compatible with the one-inch standard interface of 30 to 80-gallon electric water heaters commonly found in the United States and Canada, including brands such as A. O. Smith, Rheem, Bradford White, Whirlpool, and GE, without the need for plumbing modifications or additional circuits.Users can check water temperature, hash rate, and earnings through an app, and choose to mine individually or join a mining pool, with mined Bitcoin sent to an address controlled by the user. The initial "genesis batch" pre-order price is $899, with subsequent batches priced up to $1,299, and pre-orders are refundable, with plans to ship in the first quarter of 2027. Heatbit claims to have tested the entire winter in four and five-person households in New York and Florida. Based on the current hash price of approximately $36.73/PH/s/day, the full load of 34 TH/s could mine Bitcoin worth about $1.25 per day, totaling approximately $455 annually.

According to Bloomberg data, the expected price-to-earnings ratio of South Korea's KOSPI index for the next 12 months has fallen to 4.2 times, becoming the first trillion-dollar market on record to drop below the 5 times threshold. Among the 18 markets with a market capitalization exceeding 1 trillion dollars at the beginning of this year, this situation has never occurred with a benchmark index before.The cooling of the AI boom has triggered a sell-off in technology stocks, putting pressure on the South Korean stock market. Although South Korea's exports are approaching 1 trillion dollars, the demand for chips from SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics remains strong, but investors are still unwilling to pay higher valuations for the earnings of related companies. The valuation of the South Korean stock market is now close to that of the Indonesian market, which is facing the risk of an MSCI downgrade, with the discount level further widening. Bloomberg comments that extremely low valuations may create space for future valuation recovery. If sentiment turns, South Korean stocks are expected to outperform other markets in the short term, but it is uncertain when the recovery will start and whether there will be further declines; a low price-to-earnings ratio itself does not mean that it has already hit bottom.

Research institution Tiger Research researcher Ryan Yoon released the final report of the prediction market series, discussing whether prediction markets have practical utility. The report states that participants bear the judgment results with funds, and prices are updated in real-time with new information, forming probability distributions comparable to traditional polls, expert surveys, and economic forecasts; prediction markets have expanded from sports and election predictions to macroeconomic and geopolitical data infrastructure.The report lists that Google Finance, CNBC, CNN, and The Wall Street Journal have displayed prediction market probabilities, and the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange, along with the electronic bond trading platform Tradeweb, distributes relevant data to institutional clients. A working paper from the Federal Reserve Board describes the prediction market Kalshi as a high-frequency, continuously updated benchmark with rich information distribution. The paper states that Kalshi's median and mode predictions for the federal funds rate recorded perfectly the day before the FOMC meeting and significantly outperformed federal funds futures during that period; compared to Bloomberg consensus, it is more accurate for overall CPI and statistically similar for core CPI and unemployment rate.The report also cites research from the Iowa Electronic Markets: in five U.S. presidential elections from 1988 to 2004, and in a comparison of 964 polls, it was more accurate in 74% of cases; the average voting share error one week before the election was 1.5 percentage points, lower than Gallup's final poll of 2.1 percentage points. The report suggests that the platform needs to deepen liquidity to resist manipulation, communicate with regulatory agencies, and position itself as a monitoring tool while maintaining open transparency and data supported by independent research.

According to CoinDesk, the Swedish central bank is pushing lawmakers to reconsider the necessity of issuing an electronic krona (e-krona), believing that with the development of foreign stablecoins and the digital euro, the use of the Swedish krona in the payment system may face long-term pressure.Per Jansson, the Deputy Governor of the Swedish central bank, stated that if cash becomes further digitized and the Swedish krona lacks a convenient digital form, the local currency may struggle to compete with digital payment tools that can be used across borders. Although the central bank has not yet decided whether to officially issue an electronic krona, it hopes to initiate preparations at the legislative level as soon as possible, as the related institutional and technical work is expected to take at least 5 years.
