1️⃣ Canary Capital Files For Spot Solana ETF With SEC 🕯
Crypto asset manager Canary Capital has reportedly filed to launch a spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the United States securities regulator. Notably, the firm follows the lead of VanEck and 21Shares who filed similar applications in previous months. According to the S-1 registration statement filed by Canary, the spot Solana ETF would track SOL’s price through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange CF Solana index. Canary did not disclose who the custodian of the spot SOL ETF would be, nor did it state what ticker the fund would be listed under.

2️⃣ Coinbase Announces $1 Billion Share Buyback As It Reports Q3 Earnings 🎙
Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) shares dropped 5.2% in after-hours trading as its third-quarter earnings and revenue came in under Wall Street estimates. The crypto exchange blamed “softer market conditions” for underperforming expectations. However, it emphasised the strength of its balance sheet as the company ended the third quarter with $8.2 billion in USD resources, an increase of $417 million from the previous quarter. It also announced that its board of directors have authorised a $1 billion share repurchase program.
The announcement stated,
In October 2024, our board of directors authorised and approved a share repurchase program, which provides for the repurchase of up to $1 billion of our outstanding Class A common stock without expiration. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on market conditions.
As we’ve grown north of $1 billion in net revenue as a remote organisation worldwide, we fell into the trap of building organisational layers. We put managers in charge of the successes or failures of the groups they controlled, and we predicated success based on siloed P&Ls […] So, “managers” are incentivized to do the wrong thing. We are making organisational discipline decisions to tackle this problem and eliminate layers. We need to make sure our top contributors are focused on building rather than managing.

Dollar Cost Averaging, or DCA, is one of the most simplistic methods of investing into crypto. As it so happens, it can also be one of the most rewarding - and we’re not just talking about portfolio gains.
Perhaps the biggest reward you can get from a DCA strategy is the fact you can simply set it, and forget it. This is why investors have been Dollar Cost Averaging for generations. It’s also why Kraken, one of the OG crypto exchanges, sent a survey out to crypto investors utilising a DCA strategy.
Today, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about DCA, break down Kraken’s report, and even show you exactly how Dollar Cost Averaging could be an incredibly successful approach for your own portfolio. Make no mistake - this is a video you literally cannot afford to miss!!

1️⃣ Bitcoin Surges Above $71K as Wild Crypto Market Pump Sees $175M in Shorts Liquidated 🔼
The price of BTC surged above $71,000 in the Asian morning hours Tuesday, following two strong weeks of inflows into the United States spot Bitcoin ETFs. The breakout from the key $70,000 resistance comes with $48 billion in trading volumes, or nearly double the volumes from Monday. It also comes nearly a week before the U.S. presidential elections. Data from CoinGlass shows that the move resulted in over $143 million in short liquidations in the past 12 hours. Specifically, BTC shorts lost $73 million, while ETH shorts lost $39 million. This may have further boosted the rally as traders closed losing bets.

2️⃣ Hacker Exploits Truth Terminal Founder’s X Account, Nets $600K By Promoting A Scam Token 🔓
Andy Ayrey, the creator of the Truth Terminal AI bot, reportedly had his X account hacked due to a SIM swap attack earlier today. The attacker attempted to dupe his followers by posting a contract address for a token with the ticker IB. The token’s deployer account acquired 12.5% of its supply which the hacker dumped as its market cap surged over $25 million. According to DEXScreener data, the hacker profited by over $600,000. The hacker’s dumping of the token also caused the prices to plunge nearly 98%, bringing the market cap down to $500,000. Interestingly, IB’s price has since rebounded due to a “community takeover.” However, Ayrey’s X account appears to remain compromised since it continues to post suspicious messages.

3️⃣ Robinhood Launches US Presidential Election Prediction Market 🕯
Trading platform Robinhood has reportedly become the latest firm to offer prediction market contracts on the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Specifically, Robinhood Derivatives will offer two contracts which allow traders to speculate on whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will win the election. This launch comes on the heels of an early October federal court ruling in favour of the Kalshi prediction market. For its initial rollout, Robinhood will make election contracts available to a limited number of users who must be U.S. citizens with an active Robinhood individual investing account. Additionally, these users must be qualified for either margin investing or Level 2/3 options trading on its platform. The contracts will reportedly be paid after the election results are certified by Congress on Jan. 6, 2025.

However, the company also added that users will have the option to pay gas fees using fiat.

1️⃣ Former President Trump Floats Idea Of Eliminating Federal Income Tax 🧐
In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he was serious about eliminating the country’s federal income tax and replacing the revenue stream with import tariffs. He cited the tariff policies of former US President William McKinley during the 1890s as evidence of its viability. He argued the same policies should be applied to fund the government today.
To demonstrate the potential revenue from such tariffs, Trump claimed,
We were so rich. We had so much money. We didn't know what to do, so they set up a blue ribbon commission on tariffs. And the sole purpose was what to do with all the money we had.
If, by making node running more affordable, we can get to a network with 100,000 nodes, where each node stores a random 10% of the history, then each piece of data would get replicated 10,000 times — exactly the same replication factor as a 10,000-node network where each node stores everything.
Next Week in Crypto: Key Events to Watch (Oct 28th - Nov 3rd, 2024) 🗓
Next week is packed with truly market-moving events, all spanning just three days. So buckle up—it’s going to be a potentially pumpy mid-week! From notable token unlocks to key U.S. economic data, here’s what to keep on your radar:
---
Token Unlocks:
🔐 October 30 – TIA Token Unlock
Celestia (TIA) will unlock 175.59 million tokens, representing a massive 80% of its circulating supply, valued at around $940 million, or 16.3% of its total supply. How this will affect TIA’s price is anyone’s guess, but it’s important to note that this large unlock doesn’t mean all of the unlocked TIA will necessarily be sold—something that’s quite unlikely. Nevertheless, it’s bound to be an interesting day for TIA holders.
🔐 November 1 – SUI Token Unlock
Sui (SUI) will unlock 64.19 million tokens, worth approximately $114 million, representing 2.32% of its circulating supply.
🔐 November 1 – IMX Token Unlock
Immutable X (IMX) will unlock 32.47 million tokens, worth approximately $44 million, representing 1.98% of its circulating supply.
---
📊 U.S. Economic Data:
Next week will see the release of four crucial economic data points:
- October 30 – Q3 U.S. GDP Report
- October 31 – Core PCE
- November 1 – Unemployment Rate & Nonfarm Payrolls
🔍 The Q3 GDP report on October 30 will be the key highlight of the week. If GDP exceeds expectations, it could signal ongoing economic resilience, potentially delaying rate cuts and putting downward pressure on crypto. Conversely, a weaker GDP could reinforce expectations of future rate cuts, which would be bullish for crypto as lower rates often bring increased liquidity and a more favourable risk-on environment.
🔍 The Core PCE reading will also be critical. Persistent or rising inflation could encourage the Fed to keep rates elevated for longer, while a softer reading would increase the likelihood of rate cuts, easing fears of an inflation resurgence.
🔍 Finally, the unemployment rate and nonfarm payrolls data. If job data points to weakness, it would strengthen the case for easing monetary policy—a potential positive catalyst for crypto. However, stronger-than-expected job growth could justify further rate cut delays.
---
That’s all for this week’s action! Be sure to follow these key events closely, and we’ll be back with more updates in the next roundup.
🚨New Video Alert!!🚨

1️⃣ Ripple Files Form C, Appeals SEC Ruling On XRP Institutional Sales ▶️
Ripple Labs has reportedly submitted its Form C filing to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. For context, a Form C filing is a pre-argument statement for civil appeal that outlines the specific grounds on which the company challenges the previous ruling from the Southern District of New York court.
Ripple’s Form C filing challenges the application of the Howey test used in a previous court ruling regarding XRP transfers. Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, confirmed the filing in an X post on Oct. 25. He stated that the appeals court will review existing records without new evidence from the SEC, indicating confidence in their case.

2️⃣ Pennsylvania House Passes Bipartisan Bill To Bring Regulatory Clarity To Digital Assets ⚡️
According to a Fox Business report, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill aimed at providing regulatory clarity for digital assets. The bill titled ‘House Bill 2481’ passed with overwhelming support, with 176 votes in favour and 26 against, including unanimous backing from all 100 Republican members. It establishes a regulatory framework protecting self-custody and crypto payments, exempting digital assets from additional taxation, and asserting the right to operate a node. The bill will now move on to the Republican-led Pennsylvania Senate after the election and, if passed, onto Gov. Josh Shapiro’s desk.

3️⃣ Dutch Tax Authority Seeks Feedback On Draft Bill For Crypto Firms To Report User Data ❓
The Dutch tax authority has reportedly started soliciting public opinion on a draft bill that requires crypto service providers to collect and share relevant users’ transaction data with the tax agency. The Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands said the proposed bill aims to enhance transparency regarding crypto ownership. It added that the proposed measures “will not change anything for crypto holders, as they are already required to report their crypto balances.”
The new bill aligns with the EU-wide crypto tax reporting rules adopted last year known as the Eighth Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8). Specifically, the DAC8 mandates EU member states to implement rules that would compel crypto firms to report customer holdings data, which will be shared among EU tax authorities. The member states have until Dec. 31, 2025, to implement the rules, which are set to officially take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.

4️⃣ Microsoft Urges Shareholders to Vote Against a Proposal to Assess Bitcoin as a Diversification Investment: Filing 🔍
According to a recent SEC filing, the National Center for Public Policy Research has notified shareholders of Microsoft that it intends to propose a Bitcoin Diversification Assessment at the company’s annual meeting on Dec. 10. The think tank cited business intelligence firm MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment strategy and highlighted that it has outperformed Microsoft by over 300% this year “despite doing a fraction of the business.”
However, the Microsoft board has recommended voting against this proposal, arguing that it already “carefully considers this topic.” It stated,
As the proposal itself notes, volatility is a factor to consider in evaluating cryptocurrency investments for corporate treasury applications that require stable and predictable investments to ensure liquidity and operational funding. Microsoft has strong and appropriate processes in place to manage and diversify its corporate treasury for the long-term benefit of shareholders and this requested public assessment is unwarranted.
A recently published Fortune report claims that the prediction market platform Polymarket is "rife" with wash trading. The report cited separate investigations from Chaos Labs and Inca Digital which allegedly found that approximately 30% of the 2024 United States Presidential election activity on Polymarket is the result of wash trading. Both firms claim the actual transaction volume on the platform was only $1.75 billion, compared to the $2.7 billion reported by Polymarket. The report speculates the alleged wash trades are likely motivated by “airdrop farming” as Polymarket was recently reported to be considering issuing its own token.

1️⃣ Gemini Receives Preliminary Approval For MPI License In Singapore Amid Asia Expansion ⚡️
Crypto exchange Gemini has reportedly received an in-principle approval for its Major Payment Institution (MPI) license application in Singapore. This allows the firm to provide cross-border money transfer and crypto payment services in the country. In a statement published Tuesday, the firm stated that the preliminary approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore underscores its "dedication to the Singapore market.” Gemini’s preliminary approval for an MPI license comes after it hired Saad Ahmed as its head of APAC in January. Ahmed previously held leadership roles at Uber and Grab in the region. Gemini has stated that it would continue to work towards a final approval for the MPI license.

2️⃣ Consensys Cuts 20% Workforce, Blames SEC’s ‘Abuse Of Power’ ❓
MetaMask developer Consensys has reportedly laid off 20% of its workforce. Consensys founder and CEO Joseph Lubin announced the move in a blog post published yesterday. The post cited broader macroeconomic conditions and ongoing regulatory uncertainty, including the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) “abuse of power” in the space.
It reads,
Multiple cases with the SEC, including ours, represent meaningful jobs and productive investments lost due to the SEC’s abuse of power and Congress’s inability to rectify the problem. Such attacks from the US government will end up costing many companies…many millions of dollars.
The decision to let go was a realisation that the company we’ve built is different from the company dYdX must be. We will move forward with clarity and renewed passion. We will create amazing things.
🚨New Video Alert!!🚨
Ethena is a new decentralized stablecoin that offers high yields and is backed partially by BTC. Not surprisingly, this has led to concerns that Ethena is Terra 2.0, and will crash the crypto market.
What is surprising is that these concerns are justified, but not in the way people think. Ethena could fundamentally warp the entire futures market in crypto, resulting in an abnormal increase in leverage.
At the same time however, it could set the stage for an incredible market melt up, and generate record breaking revenues that could send its ENA token up by 40x or more by the end of the bull market.

1️⃣ Bitfinex Wallet Hacker Returns Most Of The $20 Million Back To US Government 🧐
The hacker who drained a United States government wallet of approximately $20 million on Oct. 24 has reportedly returned $19.3 million to the government wallet less than 24 hours later. According to Arkham Intelligence, the hacker returned approximately 2,412 ETH and $13.2 million in Aave-staked USDC (aUSDC). Onchain sleuth ZackXBT noted that the returned funds do not include the ~$700,000 the hacker sent to instant exchanges. The identity of the hacker remains undiscovered.

2️⃣ Prosecutors Expected To Offer Plea Deal To Alleged SEC Hacker Who Falsely Said Bitcoin ETFs Were Approved ❓
U.S. prosecutors are reportedly preparing to offer a plea deal to Eric Council Jr., the individual charged over his alleged involvement with hacking the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s X account and posting a message suggesting that Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had been approved. The intention was declared by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Rosenberg during a hearing at the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia on Friday. Eric Council Jr. has already pleaded not guilty to the charges brought by the prosecutors.

3️⃣ Tether CEO: ‘No Indication’ US Treasury Is Investigating Stablecoin Issuer 🔍
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal published a report claiming that the federal government was investigating stablecoin issuer Tether for possible violations of sanctions and anti-money-laundering rules. However, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has denied the newspaper’s claims, stating that there was "no indication" the firm was being investigated.
A Tether spokesperson told Decrypt,
It is wildly irresponsible for WSJ to write articles with reckless allegations with such certainty when no authorities have gone on the record to confirm these rumours, and no sources are named. These stories are based on pure rank speculation despite Tether confirming that it has no knowledge of any such investigations into the company. The article also carelessly glosses over Tether’s well-documented and extensive dealings with law enforcement to crack down on bad actors seeking to misuse Tether and other cryptocurrencies.
According to Arkham Intelligence, an attacker has stolen approximately $20 million worth of stablecoins and ETH from wallets belonging to the U.S. government. The wallet in question reportedly contained funds the U.S. government seized from the hacker behind the 2016 exploit of the crypto exchange Bitfinex. Arkham claims the hacker has started converting the stablecoins into ETH and laundering the funds through addresses likely associated with a money-laundering service.
