Co-founder Chris Burniske stated that long-term investors should not repeatedly struggle with entering or exiting the market, but should systematically accumulate tokens over time, and not confuse long-term investing with short-term trading. He suggested using his most successful investment targets as a reference, calculating target holdings based on the total supply of network tokens.He gave an example that the total supply of ETH is about 120 million tokens. If one previously held 10 ETH, based on the network holding ratio, the total supply of SOL is about 636 million tokens, corresponding to about 53 tokens; the total supply of TIA is about 1.16 billion tokens, corresponding to about 97 tokens. If one wishes for the TIA network share to reach 10 times the original ETH holding share, approximately 970 TIA would be needed. For ZEC, since its supply is similar to BTC, the ideal BTC holding quantity can be used as a reference for accumulation targets.Regarding the current market, he noted that many crypto assets have fallen 20% to over 40% from their highs, while BTC has dropped less than 10%. He is more inclined to believe that BTC's previous relative resilience has led to significant adjustments in assets with lower risk appetite, making the current situation more like an opportunity in the early stages of a bull market rather than a warning signal of a bull market trap. He also reminded that one should consider the possibility of further price declines, suggesting to invest remaining cash in batches and determine the investment ratio based on the probability of local bottoms at different price levels; even if some preset price levels are not reached and cash remains, it can still be acceptable.

Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley stated in their third-quarter earnings call that they view tokenization as a business growth opportunity, but none provided related revenue expectations. Goldman Sachs is exploring the expansion of DTCC's tokenization services; Wells Fargo has used tokenized deposits to process cross-border payments, with funds reaching the recipient's account within two minutes, and is exploring tokenized securities, RWA, and crypto trading services for wealth management clients; Morgan Stanley stated that tokenization can accelerate and simplify asset transfers, but clients still need investment advice.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon stated during the earnings call that tokenization is becoming an important trend covering multiple asset classes, which could bring more products, clients, and business. The bank has achieved tokenization of bonds, money market funds, and some client real estate. DeFi, prediction markets, and automated trading are also under discussion, but Goldman Sachs has not announced any specific related products.Solomon mentioned that blockchain-related activities are currently still on a small scale. Goldman Sachs uses its own GS DAP platform to provide blockchain financial asset infrastructure and participates in the tokenization services launched by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), assessing scalable applications. Solomon stated that tokenization can reduce costs, automate processes, and improve liquidity across asset classes. Solomon indicated that Goldman Sachs supports the passage of the CLARITY Act, although there are reservations about certain provisions, and participates in discussions with regulators regarding market rules. The bank's net revenue for the third quarter was $18.68 billion, with stock trading revenue increasing by 72% year-over-year to $6.4 billion.

Recently, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han was interviewed by Fortune, sharing Gate's strategic plan to transition from a cryptocurrency trading platform to an integrated financial application.Dr. Han pointed out that traditional finance and the crypto world have long been disconnected, requiring users to switch between banks, brokerages, cryptocurrency exchanges, and payment tools. During TOKEN2049 Singapore, Gate launched Gate Money and proposed the vision of "One Gate, Everything Money," integrating fiat currency, digital assets, stocks, ETFs, gold, bank accounts, and payment settlements into a single account app. With the Gate Card, cryptocurrency, fiat currency, tokenized gold, or stocks can be directly used for daily payments, eliminating the need to hold large amounts of low-yield cash for expenses; users in eligible regions can also open a global bank account in their name online, which will support receiving payments in over 60 local currencies in the future.Dr. Han stated, "No one needs to sell stocks to buy a cup of coffee, nor do they need to hold large amounts of cash for emergencies."

Mark Newton, an analyst at Tom Lee's fund, stated in an interview that he expects global stock markets to consolidate in the short term before experiencing a stronger rally; the global stock market is expected to perform well from November to April, while a weakening dollar will also benefit emerging markets. Mark Newton believes that now is not the time to panic, and the pullback from mid to late October to November could create the best buying opportunity of this cycle.

Catherine Chen, the head of VIP and institutional business at Binance, stated in an interview with The Block during Token2049 that traditional hedge funds, which previously took a wait-and-see approach, are now showing a stronger interest due to the emergence of arbitrage opportunities related to traditional financial instruments such as cash stocks and perpetual contracts on crypto platforms.She pointed out that the improvement in market depth, combined with 24/7 trading and weekend price discovery mechanisms, makes these opportunities more realistic. She also mentioned that when the same tools are offered on second- and third-tier platforms or in DeFi venues, liquidity often falls short of hedge funds' needs. However, she emphasized that this process is still in its early stages and does not expect a surge in capital inflows overnight, with the next 12 to 18 months being worth close attention.Similar changes are happening on the other side of the market. Chen indicated that their crypto-native clients are incorporating more tools linked to traditional financial products to build hybrid investment portfolios. The data she cited showed that the scale of Binance's cash stock assets has increased from about $800 million to $900 million to $1.4 billion, while the trading volume of traditional financial perpetual contracts has risen from about $20 billion to $30 billion per month when launched at the beginning of this year to about $400 billion every 30 days. She believes that tokenization and cross-asset trading are still in their early stages, and regulatory clarity will determine the ultimate integration of traditional and crypto trading more than the product offerings of a single platform.

Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong stated: The company has fine-tuned the open-source weight model Qwen3.5-9B using internal proprietary data, which performs better than cutting-edge models in the specific task of fraud prevention, while also being more cost-effective and faster.Armstrong mentioned: Cutting-edge models are excellent general models, but companies will increasingly use specialized models for narrower tasks, which can operate independently or collaborate with teams. He believes this pattern will become more prevalent within the company.He also noted that Coinbase is making it easier for employees to fine-tune models internally and providing relevant skills in internal tools, with example instructions for fine-tuning Qwen for payment risk audits. He anticipates that some backend services may be completely replaced by this new architecture.

According to CoinDesk, executives in the cryptocurrency industry believe that the failure of the Clarity Act will create opportunities for decentralized finance, but established exchanges may continue to maintain a competitive advantage.Related initiatives from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission may promote the expansion of regulated on-chain trading and increase institutional participation. Legal experts indicate that the regulatory framework is expected to progress gradually, but there are still gaps that need to be addressed by the U.S. Congress.

Renowned trader Killa stated that Bitcoin has once again failed to break through $87,000, and the 10x leveraged long position he previously established has been stopped out at breakeven. This position was part of an aggressive trend continuation trade, originally expecting BTC to break through during the second test of the high, but after the failure to break, the price returned to the entry point.Killa mentioned that he will focus on the $80,000 to $82,000 range next, looking for opportunities to re-establish the 10x leveraged long position. Currently, he still holds long positions established at $62,600 and $76,400, and there is no reason to rush into adding new long positions. He emphasized that risk management is crucial, and his existing BTC holdings are sufficient. Regarding future trends, Killa maintains a bullish outlook, expecting prices to continue rising. He believes that the current market is in a short-term oscillation, while he primarily trades based on longer cycles.

ChainCatcher live report from the OKX NOW Global Product and Ecosystem Conference (Singapore), where Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a keynote speech. He stated that AI is both the biggest opportunity and the biggest risk for the current industry development.He believes that the industry is moving beyond the narrative of "blockchain + programmable value," with new features such as "programmable data" realized through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) emerging.Vitalik expects that privacy protocols on Ethereum will rapidly mature, and within the next two years, most people are likely to use these technologies in an "unperceived" manner.

A community user posted that Zhao Changpeng released the daily message "Every dip is an opportunity" on September 16, 2026, when the price of Bitcoin was approximately $75,800, and linked it to the recent BTC trend.In response, Zhao Changpeng stated that this is just "pure coincidence" and said, "I am right only slightly over 50% of the time because I have always been bullish."

Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that over the past three years, Bitcoin's cumulative return rate was approximately 225%, while the Nasdaq index's return rate was 109%. However, Bitcoin's rise was not evenly distributed, with a few of the strongest trading days contributing significantly to long-term returns, increasing the difficulty for investors to time their entry.Data shows that if the five best trading days for Bitcoin are excluded, its three-year cumulative return rate would drop from 225% to 95%; excluding the best ten trading days, the return rate falls to 27%; and if the best fifteen trading days are missed, the three-year return would turn into a loss of 11%. In contrast, the return distribution of the Nasdaq is more balanced; after excluding the best fifteen trading days, the cumulative return rate drops from 109% to 21%.Grayscale indicated that during this period, less than 0.5% of trading days contributed enough gains that, when excluded, would reduce Bitcoin's cumulative return by more than half. For assets with high return and high volatility characteristics, staying out also carries an opportunity cost; since the best trading days are difficult to predict reliably, waiting for volatility to decrease or for market prospects to become clearer may mean that some price re-evaluations have already been completed.

Cryptocurrency trader Ansem posted that frequently monitoring the market and judging price trends based on 15-minute candlesticks can easily lead to overtrading. Investors should manage their spot, perpetual contract, and high-risk on-chain trading accounts separately, and should not attempt to catch every local top and bottom, as this may harm long-term investment returns. Instead of frequent trading, it is better to study historical bull markets and observe how long upward trends typically last.The upward cycles of altcoins are usually faster, often outperforming the market for 4 to 6 months, after which new market leaders emerge, especially after a market capitalization growth of more than 10 times. However, there may be a few exceptions in this cycle: some altcoins may see significant revenue growth alongside price increases, thus their fundamentals may improve simultaneously.In past cycles, altcoins primarily peaked due to shifts in market attention and weakening momentum, but in this cycle, if some projects experience substantial changes in revenue and other data, institutional funds may continue to buy actively, and investors need to adjust their original judgments in a timely manner based on new information.In the last cycle, Bitcoin bottomed out in January 2023 and peaked in October 2025, with an upward trend lasting about 33 months. If this cycle bottomed out in July, it is currently only in the 4th month.It is believed that in a longer-term bull market, multiple "mini-bulls" led by specific altcoins will emerge, and investors need to identify these phase-strong assets and continuously reinvest profits into high-performing targets, allowing short-term winners to gradually transform into long-term investments.

Analyst Ali posted on platform X that Bitcoin recently faced resistance at $87,000, during which whales took profits and sold over 30,000 BTC. At the same time, $87,000 is also the upper boundary of the price channel that has been suppressing BTC for more than the past two weeks.Ali stated that in the short term, attention should be focused on the lower boundary of the channel at around $82,500. If BTC falls back to this level and whales begin to accumulate again, it will serve as a confirmation signal for considering buying on dips, with the next rebound target looking towards $87,000.

Renowned trader Killa stated that the current Bitcoin trend has clearly shifted, yet we are still at the peak stage of the "market skepticism bull market."In the 2023 bull market, if one went long every time there was a sweep below the "established low" (meaning a low that has been confirmed by the market and has shown support), the price only dropped a maximum of 8% below that low; in some cases, it only dropped 4-5% before immediately rebounding.Our current "established low" is 82.5K; based on historical performance, the expected downward deviation will be very small. Killa, as a quantitative trader focused on BTC, predicted the peak of this bull market in May 2025 and has over 200,000 followers on platform X. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at 74,688 USD and turned to long during the market-wide decline on June 5.
