Analyst Murphy posted on platform X, stating that as of October 15, 2026, Bitcoin has fallen to around $81,000 on October 9, 12, and 15, repeatedly testing the same support area. The latest round of declines, combined with U.S. inflation exceeding expectations, rising market concerns about the Federal Reserve tightening monetary policy further, and weakening U.S. stocks, has put overall pressure on risk assets.Murphy noted that from the on-chain adjusted realized loss data, the scale of losses corresponding to the three dips shows a decreasing trend: the loss on October 12 was less than that on October 9, and while the loss on October 15 was larger than on October 12, it was still lower than on October 9. October 9 appears to be a peak where short-term price-sensitive chips concentrated their exit; during the second dip, market sentiment was more cautious, and the willingness to sell was not strong; the third decline, under macroeconomic negative influences, again forced some swing chips to stop-loss and exit. Therefore, the current market is closer to a gradual clearing of swing chips rather than a full-blown panic sell-off. If the proportion of short-term holders' losses remains around 31%, below the historical cumulative average of 42.7%, it indicates that the clearing of chips may not be sufficient, and further volatility and selling pressure may still occur. Next, it should be observed whether the scale of realized losses continues to converge: if the price maintains near the current support area and the release of losses gradually weakens, it indicates that passive selling is decreasing, and a phase adjustment may be nearing its end; if the scale of losses expands significantly again, it indicates that the market still needs to undergo a more thorough turnover of chips.

Box CEO Aaron Levie stated that the significant increase in AI tokens and computing power consumption will come from large-scale autonomous agent clusters operating internally within enterprises, rather than personal assistants. He anticipates that the related tokens and computing power consumption could see an increase of about 100 times.Aaron Levie mentioned that the usage of personal agents will generally be capped per person. Knowledge work is currently limited by the ability of humans to generate, transmit, and produce information; at this stage, most agents are still tasked by humans, compressing about 3 to 5 hours of work into approximately 10 minutes, still constrained by the speed at which humans initiate tasks.He further stated that true significant growth will occur when backend agents are deployed in clusters to execute tasks that are completely decoupled from human initiation. The above remarks were quoted by @MTSlive.

Ethereum Layer 2 network ZKsync announced the launch of the prover Airbender Prime. ZKsync stated that, to their knowledge, this is the first prover to demonstrate real-time proofs of Ethereum on a single GPU. Airbender Prime is designed for post-quantum security, utilizing hash-based STARK, combined with GKR sumcheck, WHIR polynomial commitment, and BLAKE2s hash; its L1 proof will use a commitment based on Keccak-256 instead of BN254 pairing. This prover is based on the open RISC-V standard and combines real-time proofs with independent validators.In a single GPU evaluation, an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell completed proofs for 99% of 7200 consecutive Ethereum mainnet blocks, with each block taking less than 10 seconds, including witness preparation; all blocks were completed within 12 seconds. ZKsync claims that Airbender Prime leads in average proof time, GPU efficiency, and cost reported on the ETHproofs public leaderboard, and it already has dual GPU and quad GPU real-time configurations while reducing the hardware requirements for generating proofs.

The artificial intelligence company Zhipu released a legal-specific model GLM-Legal, which is further trained based on GLM-5.3-Flash. In the Harvey LAB evaluation covering 24 categories of legal services, the task pass rate increased from 6.7% to 19.2%, nearly tripling the original version, surpassing models like Kimi K3 and Claude Fable 5, and ranking seventh on the Vals AI leaderboard.When reviewing software service contracts, GLM-Legal suggested shortening the termination notice period from 60 days to 30 days and required service providers to offer up to 90 days of handover support. In another software project dispute involving 40 documents, it found that the company reported to the client that the project was 60% complete, while internal records indicated only about 41%. It also identified emails from the CEO requesting to conceal risks and continue charging, and analyzed potential legal liabilities in conjunction with contract terms.According to independent evaluations by Vals AI, the cost for GLM-Legal to complete a test is $0.15, while the closely performing Gemini 4 Argon costs $10.55, a cost difference of about 70 times. GLM-Legal took an average of 72 minutes, while the latter took 44 minutes. Zhipu stated that the model was trained specifically on legal data and conducted reinforcement learning in tens of thousands of simulated legal environments. Currently, GLM-Legal requires an API trial application.

According to the official announcement, Bitget has upgraded its CFD products, further optimizing the tiered leverage and margin mechanism for gold (XAUUSD). When the exposure of XAUUSD and its related contracts (XAUUSD.p, XAUUSD.s, XAUUSD.pro) is below $100,000, the maximum leverage has been upgraded from 800 times to 2,000 times, with the corresponding margin requirement reduced to 0.05%. For positions exceeding this range, the platform will continue to adopt a tiered margin calculation mechanism, and the margin rate will be dynamically adjusted as the nominal value of the position increases.This upgrade enhances the efficiency of capital use and strategy flexibility in CFD trading through a more flexible leverage and margin tiering mechanism, providing professional traders with more options for strategy allocation in different market environments.

The world's largest asset management company BlackRock, under the BlackRock Investment Institute, has adjusted its asset allocation in the United States, ending nearly six years of an underweight position on U.S. Treasury bonds. The institution has upgraded the rating of short-term U.S. Treasury bonds to overweight, while the rating for long-term U.S. Treasury bonds has been raised from underweight to neutral. Additionally, the ratings for U.S. stocks and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) have been downgraded from overweight to neutral.BlackRock strategists stated that current U.S. Treasury yields have risen to attractive levels, and the interest rate swap market's expectation of the Federal Reserve raising rates at least three times in the next 12 months, with each increase of 25 basis points, may be excessive. The downgrade of the U.S. stock rating is mainly to address potential market volatility brought about by the construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure and the recent risk of rising financing costs. However, the institution remains constructive on the long-term investment prospects in AI-related fields. Furthermore, BlackRock has also reduced its underweight position in Japanese government bonds.

TrendForce reported on October 12, citing Chosun Biz, that as AI packaging accommodates more computing and storage chips, the intermediary layer connecting computing chips and HBM is expected to significantly increase in size, making next-generation HBM cooling more important. Samsung Electronics is preparing multiple technologies to address the cooling challenges of HBM4E, which is scheduled to begin mass production next year.Currently, the area of the AI intermediary layer is about 5.5 times the maximum exposure area of 858 square millimeters of an EUV lithography machine. Semiconductor equipment industry insiders expect that the intermediary layer carrying HBM could expand to 9 times, 12 times that area, and ultimately about 40 times. Reasons include limitations in process miniaturization and the popularity of chiplet-style 2.5D packaging, where multiple computing chiplets and HBM stacks are placed on the same intermediary layer, making it difficult for a single advanced process chip to meet AI computing power demands.Samsung is considering hybrid copper bonding and thermal path blocks. The former replaces the micro bumps between stacked DRAM chips with direct copper-to-copper connections, which can reduce inter-layer gaps, make the stack thinner, and improve heat dissipation, a technology Samsung showcased at NVIDIA GTC in March 2026. The thermal path block establishes a dedicated thermal path in the D2D PHY area responsible for high-speed transmission between HBM base chips and GPUs, which Samsung is validating with HBM4E and plans to implement in HBM5. According to ETNews, SK Hynix's iHBM places high thermal conductivity but electrically insulating cooling materials around the heat-concentrated D2D PHY, which is expected to reduce thermal resistance by about 30%.

Crypto trader Ansem posted about one of the biggest lessons learned from years of trading cryptocurrencies.He stated that catching the right rotation in trading is just the first step; what truly determines whether you can keep the profits is whether you can take profits in a timely manner and compound them. In 2017, he made a lot of money trading altcoins, but much of it was through rotation trading, giving back profits and returning to square one.From 2020 to 2021, he showed significant improvement, being able to identify narratives earlier, rotating between SOL, LUNA, and AVAX, and compounding profits from different trades. Recognizing opportunities early and knowing when to take profits are equally important skills.
