According to Decrypt, Decrypt has announced that its self-custody Money Accounts are now live on Solana, providing readers with a single balance that can be used across all Decrypt products to support its financial and intelligence market, The Information Exchange. Decrypt co-founder Ilan Hazan stated that the goal is to achieve one account and one balance, allowing users to utilize various financial tools directly from where they obtain information, from prediction markets to perpetual contracts and swaps. Users can manage all positions in one place without worrying about wallets, cross-chain bridges, or public chains, with relevant partners to be announced in the coming weeks.Deposits and balances are denominated in USDT on Solana, and the same balance can support products such as Earn, Swaps, Predictions, and Perps. Gas and rent are sponsored through joint signatures by payers, so users do not need to hold SOL or consider network fees. The account operates in a self-custody mode, meaning Decrypt does not hold private keys and cannot perform operations on behalf of users, with a private key export feature coming soon. Cross-chain operations are completed at the underlying level; for example, the Myriad Predictions market settles on the BNB Chain, yet users can still trade using the same Solana USDT balance without needing to interact with a cross-chain bridge.Existing Myriad Wallet users can directly use Decrypt Money Accounts, with one account and one balance covering both Decrypt and Myriad without the need for migration.

The cryptocurrency payment company Ripple has expanded into stablecoins, asset custody, and has entered the long-term leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) swap financing sector, which has been dominated by large banks, becoming an important participant. According to The Wall Street Journal, leveraged ETF managers achieve target returns through total return swaps and other derivatives, such as amplifying the daily fluctuations of a particular stock or index; banks or brokers sell related contracts and charge fees, then buy stocks or derivatives to hedge their own exposure.According to Morningstar Direct, there are 593 leveraged ETFs in the United States, managing over $256 billion in assets, of which 426 are single-stock leveraged funds, a category that received regulatory approval in 2022. Ripple entered swap financing after acquiring the prime broker Hidden Road, which caters to cryptocurrency hedge funds last year; this business is now called Ripple Prime, which is collaborating with multiple ETF providers and hopes to expand to include other investment managers, including hedge funds.On Tuesday, Ripple Prime announced it would provide prime brokerage, clearing, and financing services to the hedge fund Brevan Howard. Ripple Prime President Noel Kimmel stated that this is a growing and significant part of the company's business. The report cited an example where a fund paid Ripple at a rate of 4 percentage points above the overnight bank financing rate, which as of Tuesday was approximately equivalent to 8% of the fund's assets on an annualized basis; this cost is included in the net asset value of the leveraged fund, separate from the approximately 1% management fee.

On-chain analyst Darkfost stated that there has been a significant improvement in the Bitcoin market trend compared to late August, and this change is reflected in the Capital Cost Basis indicator.This indicator weights the realized price based on the scale of funds invested by investors when purchasing Bitcoin, giving more weight to BTC bought at higher prices. Currently, this cost basis is approximately $80,400.Darkfost pointed out that the Bitcoin price was still hovering around this key level in late August, but now it has closed above this level for several consecutive weeks, indicating that most of the invested funds in the market are in a slight profit state. As the profit situation gradually improves, investor positions are also stabilizing, which helps the market maintain resilience during the current consolidation phase.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that as of October 4, the number of Bitcoin short-term holders increased by 87,000 to 3.94 million over the past 30 days, remaining above the previous month's level for seven consecutive weeks. This metric has been positive since August 18, indicating that the supply of Bitcoin that has been transferred in the last six months is increasing.Currently, the average cost for Bitcoin short-term holders is approximately $74,100, with an overall unrealized profit of about 15%, roughly flat compared to a week ago but lower than the peak of 19% on September 22. Meanwhile, the average cost has risen by about $1,000 compared to a week ago, indicating that as Bitcoin prices rise, the entry costs for short-term holders are also increasing. $74,100 is a key level to watch. If Bitcoin falls below this level, short-term holders will overall turn to unrealized losses; if the 30-day holding change also turns negative, it would mean that the position size of this group is beginning to shrink, potentially further weakening the market structure.

Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl published an article on September 28, 2026, in the company's column The Stack. The article states that among American investors, Generation Z starts investing at an average age of 19, Millennials at 25, Generation X at 32, and Baby Boomers at 35. Based on a retirement age of 65, Generation Z has an investment horizon of 46 years, which is over 50% longer than the 30-year horizon when Baby Boomers started investing.Zach Pandl: Starting to invest earlier not only benefits from compound interest but also expands the capacity to take on risk. When young, labor capital accounts for a larger proportion of wealth, and a longer horizon means more time to recover from fluctuations, as well as more future income available for continued saving and investing, thereby expanding the lifetime risk budget. He believes that the returns on digital assets are both volatile and potentially asymmetric, making them more suitable for longer and more flexible horizons.Zach Pandl also mentioned that for early investors, the cost of recent volatility may be less than the opportunity cost of missing out on long-term upside. With decades available for rebalancing, adding funds, and compounding across cycles, early starters may allocate a higher proportion to digital assets while keeping their lifetime risk balanced. Starting to invest earlier gives investors more time to absorb fluctuations, potentially enhancing the utility of digital assets in long-term portfolios.
