Bitget has launched #NoCap, a new affiliate program that offers a 40% base commission for as long as referred users keep trading. The percentage may look familiar, but the lifetime payouts and broader asset coverage give the offer a different edge.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to bitcoin are going through a delicate period. For the first time since late July, their cumulative net flows over 30 days have returned to negative territory. This change occurs while the market is experiencing a new decline and investors are monitoring several price levels. However, outflows remain limited compared to previous waves of withdrawals. Does this signal a real institutional trend change?
The record theft of 6.4 billion dollars suffered by Binance only caused Bitcoin to retreat by about 4%, compared to nearly 11% during a failed attack in 2018. This resistance mainly reflects a new distribution of liquidity: a growing share of BTC now escapes the panic reactions typical of crypto platforms.
Elon Musk chose irony to react to the Binance hack, which resulted in estimated losses of $6.36 billion. But Changpeng Zhao (CZ) did not appreciate the joke. The founder of Binance responded by recalling a rather embarrassing financial detail for his critic: the $500 million invested by Binance in the acquisition of Twitter in 2022 is now worth more than $1 billion in SpaceX shares.
The theft of 6.3 billion dollars suffered by Binance resulted in more than 1.5 billion dollars of liquidations in the crypto market. However, the magnitude of the drop is not only due to the hack, as the massive use of leverage and the decline of technology stocks amplified the initial shock.
A hack estimated at 6.3 billion dollars puts Binance facing a major recovery operation. The platform is now looking to recover part of the stolen assets, with the support of law enforcement and industry partners. In this case, the announced freeze of 3 billion dollars constitutes a first challenge. The company also claims to have mobilized its resources to cover the losses related to this security breach. The case now also involves American authorities.

Bitget has teamed up with Reality and Keyring to explore a new way of earning returns from tokenized stocks.

Nearly 4 million BTC held long-term show an estimated acquisition price between 85000 and 118000 dollars. This concentration turns any bitcoin rise into a possible "repayment market", where some investors might sell as soon as they recover their investment.
XRP is going through a difficult period, but investors in American crypto ETFs do not seem in a hurry to reduce their exposure. On October 29, the token was trading around $1.29, nearly 25% below the estimated average acquisition price of the funds. Yet, their monitored holdings decreased by only 0.26% between October 23 and 28. Six spot ETFs still held approximately 1.17 billion XRP.

Michael Saylor also anticipates a new bitcoin bullish cycle.
Vitalik Buterin points out a limit of artificial intelligence: despite its extensive knowledge, it struggles to assess the depth of a text, especially when discovering it for the first time. For the co-founder of Ethereum, this difference between knowledge and wisdom deserves special attention.
A simple on-chain signal was enough to turn the evening of October 29 upside down. At 8:32 pm, researcher Spreek detects an anomaly on Ethereum.

However, real estate remains the top choice for building lasting wealth, while gaps between generations persist.

Bitwise estimates that bitcoin could reach 1.6 million dollars by 2036, with an annualized return of 34.3%. Behind this spectacular target, the scenario depends less on institutional purchases than on BTC's ability to capture a much larger share of the global value reserve market.
Strategy takes a new step in its bitcoin-related financing strategy. On October 28, shareholders approved a modification enabling the daily calculation of dividends for four categories of preferred shares. This decision notably prepares for the launch of the new STRC payment schedule, expected as early as November. However, several formalities remain necessary before its implementation. The arrangement could change the pace of income paid to investors without increasing the company’s total regular obligations.
Every crypto product sits on a blockchain API. A wallet that shows a balance calls one. A trading bot calls two or three. An AI agent that answers "what is in this wallet" calls one through MCP. Four layers do that work. Node providers expose raw chain state over RPC. Indexers turn raw logs into queryable tables. Data APIs return priced, decoded, ready-to-render values. Swap rails move assets between chains and venues. Most production stacks combine at least two of the four.
The Senate approved an agreement allowing the automatic exchange of information about cryptos held with foreign providers. This text does not create any new tax, but it mainly gives the tax authority the means to compare taxpayers' declarations with data received each year from its counterparts.
