Сообщение ChainCatcher, Coinbase Institutional и Glassnode выпустили отчет «Charting Crypto за третий квартал 2026 года», в котором сохраняется нейтральный прогноз для крипторынка.Отчет показывает, что данные на блокчейне указывают на то, что биткойн, возможно, переходит от фазы коррекции к фазе накопления, но ястребиная позиция ФРС, слабый спрос на спотовые ETF и геополитические риски по-прежнему оказывают давление на рыночные перспективы.

ChainCatcher сообщает, что некоммерческая организация Ethereum Institutional объявила о своем создании, позиционируясь как "институтский унифицированный вход" в экосистему Ethereum, сосредоточенная на соединении крупных финансовых учреждений мира с сетью Ethereum, способствуя институциональному принятию финансовой инфраструктуры на блокчейне.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan posted on the X platform, stating that institutions are like large oil tankers, which have now adjusted their course to support cryptocurrencies, tokenization, and stablecoins.He believes that this trend will not slow down, regardless of price performance.

According to BIT analysis, a significant feature of Bitcoin over the past four years is that most of the price increases are concentrated in a short period of rapid growth, followed by a prolonged period of sideways consolidation. The pullback phase also shows a similar pattern, where the price usually drops quickly at first, releasing most of the downward pressure in one go, and then gradually stabilizes.This round of pullback is mainly influenced by two factors: first, the U.S. April CPI announced in May was higher than expected; second, there are concerns in the market about Strategy selling Bitcoin and the subsequent potential selling pressure. As a result, the spot Bitcoin ETF quickly shifted from net buying to significant net selling, with a cumulative net sell of about $1.5 billion this year, creating noticeable pressure on the market.Currently, Bitcoin is still under pullback pressure, with $63,445 being a key support level to watch. Whether this level can hold will affect the market's judgment on the depth of this adjustment: if the price stabilizes near this area, this pullback will still be considered a phase adjustment; if it effectively breaks below, it may enter a deeper adjustment and consolidation.

FalconX stated that Hyperliquid's trading volume has exceeded Ethereum on certain trading days, and institutional funds are shifting from Bitcoin and Ethereum to HYPE tokens, primarily due to the weak performance of mainstream assets affected by ETF outflows and macroeconomic uncertainties.

WasabiCard currently serves over 500 enterprise clients globally, with a cumulative card issuance exceeding 500,000 cards and a total transaction scale surpassing 1 billion USD.In the future, WasabiCard will continue to expand its global payment network and multi-chain payment ecosystem, promoting the further implementation of stablecoin payments in global commercial scenarios.

According to CoinDesk, FalconX stated that on certain trading days, its trading volume on the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid has surpassed that of Ethereum. Institutions and hedge funds are shifting from the range-bound Bitcoin and Ethereum to more volatile assets such as HYPE, Zcash, Venice, and AI concept tokens.FalconX pointed out that amid macro uncertainty and the outflow of funds from spot ETFs, the implied volatility of BTC and ETH is close to historical lows, and funds are seeking higher volatility targets.
