Cryptocurrency market analyst Darkfost expressed the view that the Bitcoin market is currently in a stage of insufficient investor confidence, with both buyers and sellers hesitant. The current profit supply ratio has fallen from a previous brief breakthrough of 60% to 53.8%, approaching the breakeven line of 50%. This indicator excludes Bitcoin held for more than 10 years to better reflect the current state of the circulating market.It is not uncommon for this situation to occur at the end of a bear market. After the market experiences a phase of sell-off and capitulation, and the profit supply ratio falls below 40%, it usually takes some time to regain the 50% level. The restoration of investor confidence and the formation of new demand require time, and the market still needs to wait for investor behavior to gradually stabilize, driving continuous improvement in profit status.

The cryptocurrency trading platform Bitfinex stated on X that even though the ETF is in a sell state, new BTC buyers have still accumulated about 570,000 BTC since the end of July.Bitfinex indicated that the average cost for these buyers is approximately $75,000, and this cost has been maintained during each pullback since August.

Bitfinex stated that the average holding cost for long-term Bitcoin holders is approximately $49,300, with a current unrealized profit of about 64%; the average cost for recent buyers is around $74,400, with a current unrealized profit of only about 9%.Bitfinex pointed out that if the BTC price continues to decline, recent buyers may face greater selling pressure first. In contrast, long-term holders have a thicker buffer of unrealized profit.

On-chain analyst Murphy stated that as of October 11, the current cycle's new Bitcoin buyers (First Buyers, FB) have accumulated 4.27 million coins, returning to levels seen in mid-August 2023. Compared to before the market started in August this year, new buyers have increased their holdings by approximately 400,000 BTC over the past two months, accounting for about 2% of the total circulation, with an average monthly increase of about 200,000 coins.In contrast, from January to August 2023, new buyers accumulated approximately 340,000 BTC over about seven months. Murphy pointed out that the current BTC price is about 2.6 times that of the same period in 2023, indicating that the capital required for new buyers to increase their holdings this round is significantly higher than in the previous cycle, reflecting stronger new demand. Additionally, the market in September saw the emergence of new momentum buyers (Momentum Buyers, MB) for the first time since January this year, which are investors who continue to increase their positions above their own cost basis. Murphy believes that the appearance of such buyers helps to enhance market confidence and drive upward trends, whereas significant increases in momentum buyers are usually rare during bear market rebounds.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated in an interview with The Block at the Digital Asset Summit 2026 Asia that the failure of the Bitwise spot Dogecoin ETF is "tragic," highlighting the "difference" between the users served by spot ETFs and those served by crypto brokerage applications. The Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (BWOW) was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2025 and is set to close less than a year after its launch, with trading halting after October 14. According to SoSoValue data, as of October 7, the fund managed approximately $725,900 in assets, with a trading volume of $51,500 in September.Horsley expressed that he likes and holds Dogecoin, believing that it is historically a useless token but represents something and is a reasonable asset; however, it has shown no progress as an ETF. He thinks ETF users do not want to invest money in Dogecoin, but this may change over time; he denied that Bitwise targeted the wrong audience and described crypto ETFs as a channel. In contrast, he is more confident about the success of the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), stating that its pioneering staking feature contributed to its success, but the $1.3 billion in net assets ultimately reflects a bet on Solana.AI is currently one of Bitwise's focuses. Horsley stated that crypto and AI originate from the same source, with the former reconstructing financial services as software and the latter enabling machines to perform tasks previously done by humans;

On-chain liquidity protocol Arrakis Finance released a study tracking the on-chain buying records of 10 tokenized dollar yield products, using Ethena's sUSDe as a benchmark. The study covered 71,697 buyers with a total buying amount of 91.3 billion dollars. Of the 12.4 billion dollars in categorized demand, about two-thirds came from protocols and DAO treasuries, while the remainder came from individuals, exchanges, market makers, and crypto funds, with no purchases clearly traceable to traditional financial institutions such as pensions, asset management firms, or banks.Wallets with single purchases of 1 million dollars or more accounted for about 4% of buyers but held approximately 93% of the funds; among them, 2,586 buyers contributed over 90% of the nominal purchase amount. The median purchase amount for institutional buyers of Centrifuge's JAAA was about 29.1 million dollars, nearly three times that of the next product. About 80%, totaling 17.4 billion dollars, was settled in USDC, while USDT accounted for about 4.4 billion dollars, almost all of which was used for syrupUSDT. Primary subscriptions were the main pathway, with secondary market purchases accounting for less than 6%, and only sUSDe had 55% obtained through decentralized exchanges.The median first activity time for buyer wallets concentrated around mid-2024, described as new entrants of crypto-native funds. By time zone, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa accounted for 42%, Asia-Pacific for 40%, and the Americas for 18%. After tracing back two hops for 5.17 billion dollars of unmarked institutional-level funds, exchange sources accounted for 40% (Binance 1.12 billion dollars, Coinbase 970 million dollars), DeFi native funds accounted for 38%, and another 22% could not be identified.

The Bitcoin liquidation pressure oscillator increased from +0.48 to +54.52, indicating that short liquidations are dominant; the active order pressure oscillator rose from -1.88 to +0.86, showing that market buying temporarily exceeded selling.However, this positive indicator lasted only about 4 hours, and the buyer's advantage has not been fully confirmed. If the indicator falls back below zero and long liquidations increase, the price may come under pressure again.

India warns that the U.S. sanctions bill against buyers of Russian oil could harm U.S.-India relations and disrupt the global energy market. The bill has passed in the U.S. Congress, granting Trump new powers to impose tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil products. India is the largest buyer of Russian seaborne crude oil and is seeking to diversify its supply.

According to exclusive reports from CTech (Calcalist), Israeli AI startup Decart is in deep negotiations with an international tech giant for a sale, with a valuation of about $6 to $7 billion, and the deal could be signed next week. Founded in 2023, Decart focuses on the development of real-time video generation AI models, employing around 100 people, and has raised approximately $450 million to date. The company just completed a $300 million funding round in May, with a valuation of $4 billion. Initial negotiations were with NVIDIA, and as they were nearing an agreement, another giant intervened, prompting the founder to shift focus to the new buyer. Industry speculation suggests the new buyer could be SpaceX, but Amazon and Nebius are also reportedly interested in participating.Decart's technological advantage lies in its ability to generate videos at a cost far lower than its competitors. SpaceX founder Elon Musk has maintained regular contact with co-founder Dean Leitersdorf since experiencing the game Oasis developed based on Decart's technology in 2024. Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire (who organized Musk's post-war trip to Israel) has been investing in the company since the seed round. If the buyer is SpaceX, it will establish its first R&D center in Israel. Previously, SpaceX had acquired AI programming startup Cursor for $60 billion after its IPO, and acquiring Decart would further strengthen its position in the AI infrastructure sector.
