Papertrade's official response to the allegations of price manipulation and the existence of obvious loopholes in the protocol states: It has never been possible for small orders to have the same priority as large orders. If this were done, the front end would suffer from congestion due to junk trading, and the consequences would be much worse than the existing queuing mechanism.Under these constraints, we have designed the fair launch to be as inclusive as possible.Last night, the attempts to manipulate BTC/ETH on Hyperliquid BBO were not due to flaws in the mechanism that took six months to design. These situations had already been considered; it was only because the position limits were set very loosely in the early stages to cope with congestion that such occurrences were possible. If position limits were set during peak demand for launching, it would only exacerbate the slow experience, and the queuing mechanism itself, due to the uncertainty of opening/closing confirmation times, naturally provides protection against manipulation.As congestion eases, we have begun to tighten position limits on-chain and at the relay level. In such a system, manipulation attacks are always possible— the key is whether the attempt is economically viable. The official goal is to set parameters to a point where it is almost never profitable; even if successful, the tail risk is extremely high, and the expected value is negative.

According to PR Newswire, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated, "We believe that the cryptocurrency bull market has begun, starting at the end of June, driven by multiple factors including funds rotating from AI back to the crypto market, the continued strengthening of the crypto industry's fundamentals surrounding tokenization and AI, and the end of the four-year cycle.With just over a week left in the third quarter of 2026, ETH's performance advantage as a macro asset continues to expand. In our view, ETH significantly outperformed other macro assets in the third quarter of 2026, which may indicate a stronger rally in the fourth quarter of 2026.Due to institutional investors having a low allocation to crypto assets in 2026, partly because of the strong performance of AI stocks at the beginning of 2026, we expect institutions to significantly increase their exposure to crypto assets in the last three months of 2026. This could provide further upside potential for the gains since June 30."

According to bits.media citing RBC, several Russian banks focused on providing services to import and export businesses have begun to request cryptocurrency transaction explanations from their clients, requiring corporate clients to disclose the economic purpose of purchasing USDT and confirm that the counterparties providing the crypto assets are listed in the central bank's digital asset exchange operator registry.However, this registry has not yet been established, and the relevant regulatory laws only took effect on September 1. The central bank is still formulating the details, making the banks' requests practically impossible to fulfill. Experts believe such requests do not comply with current laws, and lawyer Elizaveta Lobuteva stated that they should be regarded as routine compliance checks and preparations for future regulatory changes, rather than new mandatory obligations.
