AI Coding Agents Drive Surge in Bitcoin Integration Requests: Breez

Bitcoin software company Breez said demand for its developer tools has surged since AI coding agents went mainstream, with partnership inquiries rising roughly 14-fold as developers, and increasingly the agents they deploy, look to add bitcoin payments to their apps.

In a company blog post, it tied the jump directly to Anthropic’s Claude Code, which launched as a research preview in February 2025 and became generally available three months later.

Before 2025, Breez said, most prospective partners fell into three camps: committed bitcoin enthusiasts, crypto developers, and fintech firms that treat bitcoin as an asset class.

Since Claude Code arrived, the company said, it has heard from many developers with little or no bitcoin experience. Requests have come from fitness apps, messaging apps that want users to send each other money, an eSIM service for travelers, and the team behind a mushroom-identification app.

Breez said many of these developers pick bitcoin for speed. Setting up traditional payment acceptance, including a bank account and cross-border transfers, can take weeks or months, while the company says its SDK can be running within minutes.

Breez said a growing share of inquiries now come from software, not people. The company said it regularly fields requests from coding agents writing on behalf of the companies that deploy them.

The company argues agents favor bitcoin because it is permissionless. An agent can build an app and set up payments for users worldwide without opening a bank account, passing onboarding checks or signing forms.

“Bitcoin is agnostic about whether the code of its current owner and user is composed of DNA base pairs or weights in a neural net,” Breez wrote.

That same absence of gatekeeping has long drawn scrutiny from financial regulators, who require traditional payment providers to verify customers.

Breez said its newest SDK implementation, built on the Bitcoin scaling protocol Spark, handled the added volume without problems.

The company framed the shift as an update to investor Marc Andreessen’s 2011 essay arguing that software is eating the world, saying AI is now eating software. It compared Bitcoin’s role to background infrastructure like electrical sockets and subsea cables.

WhiteBIT Integrates Lightning Network for Fast and Cheap Bitcoin Transactions

The Lightning Network continues to find use cases. 

Crypto exchange WhiteBIT announced on Thursday that the platform has integrated the network to help users quickly and efficiently move funds. 

Powered by BTC infrastructure provider Voltage, the Swiss exchange said that bitcoin withdrawals and deposits can be made over the network. A number of major exchanges — including Coinbase and Kraken — have integrated the second-layer solution in recent years. 

“WhiteBIT’s mission is to make blockchain technology accessible and widely adopted by delivering practical, user-friendly solutions for digital assets,” WhiteBIT Founder and CEO Volodymyr Nosov said in a statement.  

“Adding Lightning support brings us closer to this goal as we are making Bitcoin faster and more useful for customers who want to top up accounts, send and receive funds, and use Bitcoin across more real-world flows.”

Zug-based WhiteBIT, the 17th biggest exchange by transaction volume, according to CoinGecko data, added that the launch supports a faster Bitcoin rail with use cases for “remittances, exchange funding, merchant-style QR payments, and interoperability with Lightning-enabled wallets and applications.”

Transaction volume on Lightning has surged this year. The reason, broadly, is that exchanges are using the network to move funds because it’s so cheap and fast. 

Launched in 2018, Lightning was previously pushed for smaller transactions like tipping or buying a cup of coffee.

The network also offers more privacy than Bitcoin’s main chain: because Lightning payments are settled off-chain rather than recorded on the public blockchain, individual payments are harder to trace.

Greece Plans Crypto Capital Gains Tax: Report

Greece is planning a law to tax crypto investors’ capital gains at a rate of 15%, according to reports.

According to Reuters and local media, the country’s Finance Ministry has drafted a bill with the proposal. Greece currently has no legal framework for taxing crypto.

Under the draft, the first €500 (about $580) of crypto gains each year would be exempt.

The bill would tax only the net gain when crypto is sold, after deducting trading fees. Swapping one cryptocurrency for another, such as bitcoin, would not trigger the tax. It would apply only when holdings are converted into euros or another fiat currency, or used to pay for goods and services. 

Investors could carry losses forward against future crypto gains for up to five tax years, and tokens earned through staking or lending would be taxed only when sold.

The rules would apply retroactively from January 1, 2025, meaning gains from last year onward would be declared on tax returns filed in 2027.

The bill is due to be submitted to parliament in November.

Greece follows the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. The Hellenic Capital Market Commission authorizes and supervises crypto service providers, and the Bank of Greece handles prudential oversight of stablecoin issuers. 

Licensing has been slow: no Greek providers appeared on the EU’s register until September, about two months after MiCA’s transitional period ended on July 1.

Since January 2026, the EU’s DAC8 directive has required crypto exchanges to collect detailed data on their users and transactions and report it to national tax authorities, much like banks already do for ordinary accounts. Greece wrote those rules into national law in May. 

Crypto tax treatment varies widely across the bloc. Rates range from 8% in Cyprus to 30% in France. Some countries are more lenient: Germany exempts crypto held for more than a year, and Portugal does the same after 365 days.

Bitcoin Falls Below $81,000 as Oil Spikes, Fed Talks Tough

Bitcoin’s price has dropped further, sliding with other assets as the oil price continued to climb and the Federal Reserve made a hawkish statement. 

The price of the leading asset recently stood at $81,203 after dropping as low as nearly $80,922 at one point on Thursday morning in New York. 

Over the past day, bitcoin’s price has shed nearly 3% of its value; over a seven-day period, it’s down by 4%. 

Just last week, the coin seemed to be closing in on the $90,000 mark after a phenomenal September rally and one of its best quarters in years. 

But so-called Uptober — the month of October typically gives bitcoin investors good returns — is starting slow on a surging oil price. 

This week, the price of Brent crude has jumped following renewed attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. President Trump also hinted that talks with Iran weren’t going the way he wanted. 

A surging oil price this year has — at least in the short-term — hurt the price of bitcoin and other “risk-on” assets because it increases the chances of the U.S. central bank raising interest rates. Bitcoin has in the past done well with low interest rates because of increased liquidity. 

In a speech Thursday, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller also said further interest-rate hikes will likely be needed to slow inflation. He did add that there was “flexibility” about ‌the pace of increases. 

Oil prices have jumped since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in February, which resulted in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation by Iran. Higher oil prices have meant sticky and climbing prices around the world — including in the States. 

But bitcoin’s price in September appeared to shrug off comments by the new Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh, and jumped despite the central bank raising interest rates. 

Despite the bitcoin price dip, the coin, according to some analysts, has entered a bull market again. The biggest cryptocurrency spent most of 2026 in a bear market after reaching record highs in October 2025. It is currently more than 30% below its record of $126,080.

EDX Markets and VerifiedX Partner to Bring Verified Bitcoin (vBTC) to Institutional Markets

VerifiedX (verifiedx.io), a programmable layer for Bitcoin and other crypto assets, and EDX Markets (“EDX”), a Chicago-based digital asset technology firm that combines an institution-only trading venue with a central clearinghouse, announced a strategic partnership to bring Verified Bitcoin (vBTC), a tokenized form of Bitcoin, to EDX for institutional spot trading.

vBTC, VerifiedX’s flagship product, is designed to be a programmable, one-to-one backed Bitcoin asset, enabled by their layer-two protocol. As part of the partnership, EDX will join the VerifiedX network as a validator, providing EDX with direct participation in network validation and governance. The partnership will extend the relationship beyond asset trading into the underlying infrastructure supporting vBTC, while unlocking the asset for institutional traders and investors, according to a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine. 

“Bitcoin has become a globally recognized institutional asset, yet much of its financial utility remains fragmented across exchanges, custodians, wrappers, bridges and application-layer protocols,” they wrote. The press release explained how VerifiedX works to address that fragmentation by making the bitcoin backing vBTC verifiable on-chain at a more granular level, avoiding the pooling of funds and using more advanced Bitcoin technologies than other alternatives. In turn, this makes the asset easier to program for trading, payments, treasury management, lending, and other financial applications.

The partnership is expected to support a range of institutional strategies, including:

• Bitcoin trading and price discovery through institutional spot markets;
• Cross-market arbitrage and liquidity strategies between BTC and vBTC markets;
• Treasury and balance-sheet mobility, allowing Bitcoin capital to move between trading and programmable environments;
• Borrowing, lending and yield strategies built around Bitcoin-backed capital;
• On-chain liquidity and financial applications native to VerifiedX;
• EVM composability through vBTC.b, the canonical representation of vBTC for supported EVM environments, allowing Bitcoin capital to participate in broader decentralized financial markets while preserving a direct redemption path to underlying Bitcoin.

Through EDX, market participants will gain a new venue for trading vBTC within an institutional market structure designed around aggregated liquidity, central clearing and capital-efficient settlement.

“Bitcoin does not need another financial abstraction. It needs infrastructure that allows the asset itself to do more,” said Jay Pollak, Head of Strategy at the VerifiedX Foundation. “Bringing vBTC to EDX is important because it connects programmable Bitcoin capital with market infrastructure purpose-built for sophisticated institutions. An allocator should be able to trade Bitcoin, deploy it, move it across financial environments, and ultimately redeem back to Bitcoin without losing the fundamental ownership characteristics that made Bitcoin valuable in the first place.” 

“EDX joining as a validator makes this partnership even more meaningful. This is not simply about adding another trading pair. It connects institutional trading infrastructure directly with the network infrastructure underneath the asset,” Pollak added. As a validator, EDX gets maximum sovereignty over the signing and governance of the vBTC they are responsible for, while also becoming a node in Bitcoin and the VerifiedX layer. 

Aside from their home page at VerifiedX.io, the company has a dedicated block explorer as well as a Discord, X profile, and GitHub repo. They can also be contacted via email at info@verifiedx.io.

Coinbase streamed an in-person trading competition from Singapore on Oct. 8, advertising $150,000 for the trader crowned Coinbase Champion and presenting the event as a spectator tournament.

The company's Token 2049 Champions Cup page billed the contest as an esports-style perpetual-futures tournament featuring 10 traders and one winner. Its standings tracked the traders' profit and loss in dollars, while the broadcast mixed trading updates with walkouts, jokes and an invitation for viewers to pick a contestant.

At 6:54 p.m. UTC, the event page listed Intern first with $4,263.37 in profit and loss. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong promoted the contest as it went live, saying that “in an hour” one trader would be crowned Coinbase Champion and win $150,000.

Coinbase's announcement described the in-person competition as live, streamed from Singapore.

Coinbase's coverage identified several contestants: Ansem (@blknoiz06), @izebel_eth and @intern among its walkout and introduction posts. It also posted updates naming @Goupenguin, @osf_rekt and @insomniacxbt, with @osf_rekt making what the company called a high-energy entrance.

Coinbase joked that @Goupenguin was trading while watching cats, then said @intern had decided to make memes instead and was backing Jez to win. Intern, who later topped the displayed standings, was also a running joke.

During the action, Coinbase said @osf_rekt had moved into first place at 1:32 p.m. UTC. Seven minutes earlier, its @insomniacxbt update said there were 35 minutes left to win the prize.

A separate prize drawing for Coinbase cup viewers

Coinbase invited viewers to the Champions tab in its app to vote for a trader, but only in certain geographies. Its official rules describe a free promotion: no purchase was necessary, and spending or trading would not improve a participant's chance of winning.

Only votes for the winning trader would qualify for a random prize drawing. If traders tied for the highest total profit and loss, votes for any tied trader would qualify.

The rules called for three voting rounds, with one trader selected per round and up to three votes overall. Entry was limited to eligible app users at least 18 and the age of majority, with jurisdiction and, in some markets, onboarding requirements.

Crypto firms authorized under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MiCA) should resolve EU clients' remaining exposure to non-compliant stablecoins through their services within three months, according to a new opinion from the bloc's markets watchdog.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published the opinion Oct. 8. Where national regulators find legacy exposures, ESMA said they should require remediation as soon as possible and no later than three months after publication, or about Jan. 8, 2027.

National regulators may allow firms that do not yet comply to provide strictly limited services needed for an orderly wind-down and to avoid harm to clients. These can include liquidation, conversion, withdrawal, transfer or safekeeping of existing holdings.

Those exit services should be time-limited, clearly communicated to clients and closely supervised. They should not enable new acquisitions, promotion, active distribution or continued market availability.

National supervisors decide whether to allow them, so customers do not automatically get three months of continued service.

The opinion's legal route is Article 66(1) of MiCA, which requires providers to act in clients' best interests. In ESMA's view, providing any MiCA service involving a non-compliant stablecoin should give rise to a presumption that it is incompatible with that duty, whether or not the individual service constitutes an offer to the public or admission to trading.

ESMA argued that providers cannot adequately mitigate the risks created by missing issuer-level safeguards. Warnings, disclosures and client acknowledgments would not resolve those concerns.

ESMA's Jan. 17, 2025 statement left mere custody and transfers open while restricting trading and other services that constituted public offers. The new opinion complements that guidance, preserving the earlier offer-to-the-public interpretation while adding expectations under providers' existing duties.

In its Sept. 30 MiCA-review response, ESMA had sought legislation prohibiting all licensable services involving non-compliant stablecoins, without specifying an implementation date or wind-down path for that proposal.

The October opinion adds a timetable and supervised exit arrangements under current MiCA obligations to the legislative request from Oct. 3.

Access to stablecoins beyond trading

ESMA's opinion names no token or issuer. However, Tether's USDT is among the assets Coinbase's EEA retail guidance labels MiCA-non-compliant.

Kraken's guidance, updated April 13, lists USDT among stablecoins delisted for EEA trading while still permitting deposits and withdrawals, although it discourages deposits.

Removing USDT trading pairs alone may not satisfy ESMA's expectations where a MiCA-authorized provider continues servicing it as a non-compliant token. Remaining services would need to fit any narrowly permitted, supervised wind-down.

For existing holders, the practical question is which exit services their provider and national supervisor allow. The opinion concerns access through regulated EU firms, but it does not impose a worldwide ban on owning USDT.

Coinbase plans to introduce spot borrowing with up to 10x leverage, letting eligible traders borrow against collateral to buy crypto on spot markets, but US customers who do not qualify as Eligible Contract Participants will be excluded.

The exchange's Oct. 7 announcement puts the rollout in the coming weeks. Access will depend on customer eligibility and selected jurisdictions, but Coinbase does not identify those countries, so availability cannot be assumed for every trader outside the US.

For US individuals, a 2021 statement by a commissioner at the CFTC, the US derivatives regulator, describes discretionary investments exceeding $10 million in aggregate, or exceeding $5 million when the transaction is for risk management purposes. That distinction puts the planned service beyond ordinary US retail access.

The restriction applies specifically to spot borrowing, and Coinbase says the product is offered by affiliates and is separate from Coinbase Financial Markets, which offers US derivatives.

For US customers, the margin lenders will be Coinbase Custody International Limited or Coinbase Credit, Inc., even though traders would manage spot borrowing and derivatives exposure through a shared margin portfolio.

Coinbase completed the Deribit migration on Oct. 2, setting the stage for Coinbase's expansion, while the spot-margin plan adds a distinct borrowing option for eligible customers.

Collateral remains exposed

For customers who qualify, Coinbase sets maximum leverage at 10x on selected major assets and 5x on other supported assets.

The company says traders can post collateral in more than 15 supported assets, with those holdings remaining on Coinbase. Loan balances, collateral levels, and margin health will be visible in real time across open borrows.

Keeping collateral on the platform does not protect it from a forced sale. Coinbase warns that borrowed trading magnifies losses as well as gains, that collateral can be liquidated without notice, and that losses can exceed the initial deposit.

The announcement leaves borrowing rates, collateral valuation haircuts, or discounts applied to pledged assets, and liquidation thresholds unspecified. Those terms determine the cost of using the service and when collateral is at risk.

Core Lightning, software for running Bitcoin Lightning payment nodes, has released v26.06.9 with security fixes and a repair for a regression that could delay channel traffic on busy nodes running v26.06.8.

GitHub lists the new release as published Oct. 7, while its versioned changelog carries an Oct. 6 date.

The update gives operators who installed v26.06.8 a fresh decision on upgrading, following the Sept. 27 revoked-channel penalty flaw that was fixed in v26.06.7. The latest patch adds fixes and addresses a regression introduced by that later version.

Bitcoin payment delays and shutdown risk

In v26.06.8, routine gossip, pings, and onion messages counted toward a CPU budget intended for gossip queries. On busy nodes, that accounting could throttle peers and delay channel traffic, according to the maintainers.

V26.06.9 reserves that budget for gossip queries, so ordinary messages no longer consume it, removing the documented cause of this throttling. The regression described by maintainers concerns busy nodes running Core Lightning v26.06.8.

The changelog also describes a fix for a payment contract (HTLC) that reaches its deadline while a channel is shutting down. V26.06.9 now force-closes the channel in that situation, preventing forwarded funds from being lost if the payment is fulfilled late.

For an operator forwarding payments, this fixes a funds-protection problem when payment deadlines and channel shutdown overlap.

Other fixes enforce the limits carried by runes used to authorize calls, so a restricted rune can no longer create an unrestricted one or relist blacklisted runes. Restrictions on the corresponding creation and blocklisting methods now also cover the invokerune and destroyrune aliases.

The listconfigs command now masks several sensitive values, including recovery information and Bitcoin RPC passwords, for every caller. The setconfig command closes a path for injecting configuration lines through persistent option values.

The fixes are available immediately, but maintainers have temporarily held back security tests to make exploit development harder and give operators more time to upgrade.

Nodes that have run master cannot downgrade to a 26.06.x release because their database schema is newer. The release also reiterates that dual funding remains experimental and discourages zero-confirmation channels with untrusted peers.

Maintainers urge Core Lightning users, including those on v26.06.8, to upgrade to v26.06.9 as soon as practical.

Bitcoin miners are emerging from months of financial pressure as rising BTC prices lift daily industry revenue by 78%.

According to CryptoQuant's weekly report shared with CryptoSlate, total daily mining revenue climbed from approximately $27 million at July's lows to as much as $48 million, following Bitcoin's roughly 45% recovery from $58,000 to above $83,000.

The turnaround is also visible in hashprice, a closely watched measure of mining economics that tracks the expected daily revenue generated by a unit of computing power.

Data from Hashrate Index shows the metric recently climbed above $40 per petahash per second per day, its highest level since January. It has slightly declined to around $39 as of press time.

That marks a significant recovery from the industry's financial difficulties earlier this year. CoinShares previously reported that hashprice fell to approximately $27.70 in June, reflecting a combination of lower Bitcoin prices, persistently weak transaction fees, and mining difficulty that remained elevated relative to revenue.

The subsequent recovery has improved the economics of running mining equipment, although the gains vary considerably across operators depending on electricity costs, hardware efficiency and financing obligations.

Bitcoin's rally reverses months of mining distress

CryptoQuant's Miner Profit/Loss Sustainability indicator shows that the industry's financial position has improved substantially since August.

Between May and August, miners were largely classified as “extremely underpaid,” indicating that mining revenue was insufficient relative to the network's difficulty under the firm's methodology.

That changed on Aug. 21, when Bitcoin reached approximately $76,000. Since then, the indicator has generally remained in its “fairly paid” category, pointing out that mining revenue has recovered relative to the computational resources required to secure the network.

This improvement matters because mining operators receive Bitcoin-denominated rewards while electricity, equipment financing, and other operating expenses are generally paid in fiat currencies.

Higher Bitcoin prices therefore increase the dollar value of mining rewards without necessarily increasing operating costs immediately.

However, the higher hash price also reflects changes in network competition, since each unit of computing power is expected to generate more revenue when fewer miners compete for the same block rewards.

That dynamic helps explain why industry revenue and individual mining economics have improved even though Bitcoin's network hashrate remains below its previous peak.

CryptoQuant reported that network hashrate has recovered to about 962 exahashes per second (EH/s), up from 899 EH/s on July 31, when declining prices squeezed operators' margins.

The rebound has narrowed the network's drawdown from a peak of approximately 18% in late July to 13%, likely because improving returns are encouraging miners to bring more computing capacity back online.

Nevertheless, the financial recovery still depends heavily on Bitcoin's market value rather than increased transaction activity.

CryptoQuant found that daily transaction fees, measured using a seven-day average, rose from approximately $195,000 to $275,000. Those figures remain well below the $400,000 to $800,000 range recorded during parts of 2025.

Consequently, block subsidies still account for most mining revenue, leaving operators vulnerable to renewed pressure if Bitcoin prices retreat or network difficulty rises faster than earnings.

Miner selling pressure eases as profitability returns

Improved mining economics are also beginning to influence how operators manage their Bitcoin holdings.

CryptoQuant reported that extreme miner outflows have not occurred since Aug. 21, when approximately 29,000 BTC moved out of miner-associated wallets as Bitcoin advanced toward $76,000.

Since then, transfers have stayed within their normal range, with the latest daily reading at about 12,000 BTC.

Although wallet outflows don't necessarily translate into immediate market sales, the decline could be an indicator that miners face less pressure to move large amounts of Bitcoin after months of financial strain.

The change is also apparent among some of the network's oldest participants.

According to CryptoQuant, Satoshi-era miners, excluding addresses associated with Patoshi, transferred approximately 600 BTC out of their wallets in September. That was roughly a 70% decline from the approximately 2,000 BTC recorded in January.

Their combined holdings remain substantial at about 590,000 BTC, so changes in their spending activity matter for the market's potential supply outlook.

Meanwhile, addresses holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC have stopped reducing their aggregate balances after months of depletion.

The cohort's combined holdings declined approximately 20% from 64,000 BTC in December 2025 to roughly 51,000 BTC by early September. Since then, balances have remained relatively stable.

That stabilization could be a sign that miners have become less reliant on drawing down existing reserves as operating conditions improve.

For Bitcoin investors, the reduced selling pressure could remove one source of supply that weighed on the market during the downturn. However, the miners have yet to demonstrate a sustained return to accumulation.

Bitcoin's $80,000 support level emerges as a test for mining profits

Meanwhile, emerging constraints also limit how far the industry's financial recovery can extend.

As miners reactivate equipment and network competition intensifies, rising difficulty could compress hash price again unless Bitcoin's market value keeps climbing.

CryptoQuant identified Bitcoin's 365-day moving average near $80,000 as an important short-term support level, followed by its 200-day moving average around $71,000.

A sustained decline toward those levels could test the revenue gains miners have accumulated since July, particularly among operators using older, less efficient equipment.

A durable recovery would be marked by whether larger miners begin rebuilding their Bitcoin reserves while network hashrate continues to recover, suggesting that improving revenues are sufficient to cover operating expenses and support renewed accumulation despite increasing competition.

Grayscale will have the TAO of its Bittensor trust held by two houses in future instead of one. The asset manager has added Coinbase Prime as a second custodian, with BitGo remaining primary custodian. The move is set out in an 8-K that the trust filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on 5 October 2026. For holders of Bittensor, this is not price news but news about the question of who holds the keys.

The price itself has a weak week behind it. TAO trades at $275.96, which is 10.7 percent below the highest daily value of the past seven days, according to CoinGecko as of Friday, 9:00. Over seven days it shows a loss of 11.99 percent, over 30 days a gain of 6.39 percent. Taken together, the two describe a pullback inside a month that is still in positive territory on balance.

What Grayscale reported in the 8-K on the custody of TAO

An 8-K is the mandatory filing with which an issuer registered with the SEC discloses a material event between two quarterly reports. In it, the Grayscale Bittensor Trust reports two contracts signed and one contract terminated, all dated to the end of the month.

On 29 September 2026, the sponsor signed an amendment to the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement of 3 October 2025 on behalf of the trust. Coinbase will thereby hold a portion of the trust's TAO. A day later, on 30 September, an amendment followed to the revised custody agreement with BitGo Bank & Trust of 5 June 2026, which brings the trust into that agreement. The older BitGo agreement of 12 March 2025 was terminated on the same day.

One figure the document expressly does not name: how much TAO moves to Coinbase has not yet been determined by the sponsor, by its own account. Anyone reading a split in percent over the coming weeks should check where it comes from, because it does not come from this filing. What is recorded, by contrast, is that the custodians' fees are borne by the sponsor and that fees and expenses are taken in TAO.

BitGo stays primary custodian, Coinbase Prime will hold a portion

The division of roles remains clear. BitGo is and remains the trust's primary custodian; Coinbase joins as a second address. In the language of institutional custody that means a portion of the holdings will sit in a second infrastructure, with its own keys, its own approval paths and its own operations team.

Prime broker is not a synonym for custodian here. A prime broker agreement bundles trading, settlement and custody with one provider so an institutional client can move large quantities without maintaining a separate relationship for every step. The fact that the trust extended precisely that agreement points to trading capability, not storage alone.

Why a second custodian shifts the operational risk of a trust

With a single custodian, everything hangs on one operation. If it fails, the fund stands still, regardless of how healthy the assets inside it are. Two custodians spread that operational outage across two mutually independent houses. The risk has not vanished as a result; it is divided.

Set against that is the second route of attack. Every additional infrastructure brings its own keys, its own staff and its own software, and any of those can become the point of entry. The hacks of 2026 repeatedly hit the software around the edges rather than the cryptography itself. Whether the split is a gain is therefore decided by the quality of the second house, not by the number two.

GTAO is an OTC-traded trust and not yet an ETF

The Grayscale Bittensor Trust runs under the ticker GTAO and trades over the counter, not on a regular US exchange. Grayscale has set out on the road to an exchange-traded fund: the S-1 registration statement reached the SEC on 30 December 2025, and a first amendment followed on 2 April 2026. No approval has come of it to date.

The difference is practical for you rather than academic. A trust traded over the counter can sit permanently above or below the value of its holdings, because the mechanism that continuously creates and redeems shares in an ETF is missing. Anyone who equates such structures with a spot ETF is buying something other than what they think. How the product types diverge in Germany is unpicked in the overview of crypto ETFs for investors in Germany.

Then there is the distribution route. A trust registered in the US is not offered to retail investors in Germany; for distribution to retail clients in the EU, the PRIIPs Regulation requires a key information document, which such products do not carry. The news from the 8-K changes none of that and remains information about the market for you, not a way to buy.

Price of the week: $275.96, 10.7 percent below the weekly high

The daily values of the week trace a clear arc: $292.09 on 3 October, then four days between $304 and $309 with the peak of $308.88 on 7 October, after that $291.29 on 8 October and $268.40 at the start of 9 October. Over the past 24 hours the low stood at $254.82 and the high at $287.30. All values according to CoinGecko, as of Friday, 9:00.

For context: market capitalisation stands at around $3.13 billion, trading turnover of the past 24 hours at around $308 million. TAO is 63.6 percent away from its all-time high of $757.60 from March 2024. The week's pullback therefore falls into a phase that already runs far below the old record.

Circulating supply: 11.34 of 21 million TAO have been issued

Bittensor is capped at 21 million units, as Bitcoin is. Of those, 11,339,646 TAO are in circulation, or 54.0 percent of the maximum. Issuance declines in steps over time, and the timing of the next step depends on the quantity issued rather than on a calendar date. There is no documented date for it at present, and a forecast would be guesswork.

Subnets: what the network pays out its issuance for in the first place

A subnet on Bittensor is a self-contained competition in which providers deliver a particular service, a language model or data preparation for instance, and are rewarded according to assessed quality. The network's issuance is distributed across these subnets, and anyone holding or delegating TAO is economically tied to that distribution.

For the custody question this matters more than it sounds. Delegating TAO rather than merely holding it puts it into a process that requires active use of keys. Between “sitting in a custodian's vault” and “working in the network” lies a noticeable difference in risk profile, and that holds whether a fund or a private individual holds the tokens.

Buying TAO in Germany: a MiCA exchange instead of a US trust

If you want exposure to TAO in Germany, the route runs through a trading platform licensed under MiCA, or through a certificate on the token authorised in the EU. The US structure from the 8-K is not open to you. Which platforms can show a MiCA licence is set out in the overview of regulated crypto exchanges.

After the purchase comes the same question Grayscale has just answered for itself: who holds the keys. Leave the tokens on the exchange and you carry its operational risk. Withdraw them and you carry it yourself, but the counterparty risk disappears. Which device suits that depends on how much you hold and how often you move the balance.

Two further points belong in the review. Leveraged products on a token that gives up double digits inside a week liquidate quickly; on a decline of 10.7 percent from the weekly high, a ten-times leveraged position is already finished on paper. And for tax, the one-year holding period for private disposals still applies in Germany, whose abolition is under discussion but has not been decided. Spreading several purchases across the year calls for a clean record of the acquisition dates.

Levels above and below: $308.88 and $254.82

Above, the next documented point of orientation lies at the weekly high of $308.88, below that the round level of $300. On the downside, the 24-hour low of $254.82 marks the last place where buyers appeared again, followed by the round 250. These are observation points from this week's price data and not price targets.

What the custody news means for the price cannot be quantified in good faith. An amendment to agreements on custodians is a structural event with no immediate effect on supply or demand. Selling it as a price driver overstretches it.

Bittensor custody: without ETF approval, GTAO stays over the counter

1. First establish whether you are looking for access at all: the US trust is not open to you, while buying directly through a licensed platform is. The licensing position of the providers is listed under regulated crypto exchanges.
2. Settle the key question deliberately before the first purchase runs, not after it. For withdrawing from the exchange, the hardware wallet comparison helps with choosing a device.
3. Set up the record for the holding period with the first purchase, or the acquisition dates will be missing later. Tools for that are in the comparison of crypto tax software.

Anyone holding ICX has until 19 October 2026 to sell the token on its largest remaining venue. At 15:00 Korean time, 8:00 in the morning in Germany, the South Korean exchange Upbit halts trading in the ICX against won pair and deletes every open order in the process. A balance held there can still be withdrawn until 18 November 2026. After that, Upbit ends all support for the token, including support for airdrops, wallet upgrades, migrations and hard forks.

Upbit is not a trading address for investors in Germany, as the exchange serves the Korean market and requires a Korean bank account. The date nonetheless helps determine the price at which a remaining European holding can still be sold at all. The won pair on Upbit is the last large market ICX has anywhere, and it disappears around ten weeks before the day the ICON blockchain is shut down for good.

What happens to ICX at Upbit on 19 October

A delisting is the removal of a crypto asset from an exchange's trading: the pair vanishes from the offering, and buy and sell orders are no longer possible afterwards. Upbit is carrying out this step for ICX in two stages, and only the first falls on 19 October.

At the close of trading that day, the exchange will cancel every order still sitting in the order book, uniformly and by its own announcement. A sell limit parked well above the market price therefore comes back rather than filling. Only in the second stage, four weeks later, does the withdrawal window close as well. That sequence is customary and carries the more important information for holders: between 19 October and 18 November a balance can no longer be sold, but it can still be moved out. The date was first reported by a Korean trade publication, in the report of 18 September.

Why Upbit is halting trading: replay attack and warning list

Upbit justifies the removal with security risks that remain unresolved in the exchange's view. The background is an incident on the ICON chain at the end of August. In a replay attack, a transaction that has already been validly signed is submitted again, so the same instruction is executed several times although it was authorised only once.

According to the available reports, two such signed withdrawal messages were reused 1,492 times on 27 August. That released 119.9 million ICX and 531,600 bnUSD, and the chain then stood still for around 25 hours. On 28 August, Upbit put the token on its warning list and, after further review, decided to end trading support. Upbit's own notice page is not freely accessible from outside Korea; the date and the reasoning therefore rest on reporting by Korean and international trade media, not on the exchange's page itself.

Only one market left: 18 of 865 Upbit pairs carry the warning flag

How seriously Upbit takes the case can be read from the exchange's own market list. Of 865 trading pairs, exactly 18 carry the warning flag on 9 October, and those 18 are practically identical with the current removal and review cohort: alongside ICX there are BLAST, EGLD, MANTRA, RVN, SOPH and ZIL.

Within that group, ICX is the only asset left with just a single pair at Upbit. Its earlier pairs against Bitcoin and against USDT no longer exist there. EGLD, MANTRA, RVN and BLAST each still have two or three pairs affected; for ICX, the won pair takes the entire venue with it. How the same mechanism runs for another token was described in early October in our piece on the Upbit delisting of Ravencoin.

Almost half of worldwide ICX turnover runs through Upbit

Liquidity describes a market's ability to absorb an order without a large price concession; the thinner it is, the more expensive a sale becomes. On ICX it is small, and it hangs on a single place.

The won pair at Upbit turned over around 501 million won on Thursday, at a price of 19.6 won and a volume of 25.8 million ICX. Converted, that is $348,000 to $373,000, depending on whether the official exchange rate or the token's world market price is applied. Worldwide daily turnover across all venues combined came to about $776,000 over the same period. Upbit alone therefore carries 45 to 48 percent of all ICX trading. The token's market value stands at around $14.9 million.

That order of magnitude is the real heart of the date. When close to half of turnover falls away on a single day, the remainder barely redistributes to the other venues; the remaining market becomes noticeably thinner as a result. Selling a larger position after that means moving the price with your own order. Which venues remain an option for a move, and what to weigh when choosing, is set out in our comparison of regulated crypto exchanges with MiCA authorisation.

Around eight percent premium: ICX costs more in Korea than on the world market

A second effect comes into play, and it is easily missed when looking at a single price. On Upbit, one ICX cost 19.6 won on Thursday. At the official exchange rate that is about 1.46 US cents, while the token traded at around 1.35 US cents on the world market. The Korean market therefore pays a good eight percent more for the same token.

Premiums of this kind have been known in Korea for years and arise because capital moves between Korean and international venues less easily than the price difference suggests. For assessing the date, the consequence is this: the average price that price pages show for ICX today contains a share of Korean purchases at higher prices. If that market falls away, so does the part of demand that carried the premium.

Withdrawals until 18 November: the second Upbit deadline

Four weeks lie between the trading close and the withdrawal close at Upbit. Whoever still has ICX sitting in a Korean account can send the balance to their own address or to another exchange during that period, but can no longer sell it. After 18 November 2026, Upbit also explicitly stops handling airdrops, wallet upgrades, migrations and hard forks for the token.

That last point is no footnote in the case of ICX. The exchange of ICX into SODA, on which the entire remaining supply depends, is technically exactly such a migration process. An exchange that ends migration support thereby takes away holders' option of having the swap handled through the account.

The deadline calendar for ICX up to 31 December

The Upbit date does not stand alone. For a European ICX holder, several dated cut-offs line up before the end of the year, and most of them are already behind us or immediately ahead:

• 2 October 2026: Bitvavo closed deposits, trading and withdrawals for ICX. Whatever remained in the account after that is automatically converted into euros by the exchange on 12 October at the latest, according to its schedule. The details are in our report on the Bitvavo forced conversion.
• 30 September and 3 October 2026: At OKX, trading ended first in the euro pairs, then in the USDT pairs. The exchange accepts withdrawals until 23 December 2026, according to the details in our article on the OKX delisting.
• 19 October and 18 November 2026: trading close and withdrawal close at Upbit.
• 31 December 2026: The ICON blockchain is shut down, and at the same moment the option of swapping ICX into SODA ends.

Binance had already taken ICX out of spot trading earlier, in September. Anyone who suspects a balance is still there will find the sequence of the dates at the time in our article on the Binance delisting; the November withdrawal dates named there, however, come from a single secondary source and should be treated with corresponding caution. If in doubt, check the withdrawal window directly in the account.

A one-way street since 30 September: the road back to ICX is closed

The migration is the swap of the old token for the new one: ICX is withdrawn, SODA is issued. The ICON Foundation set the dates for it back in May and published them on its own project page. What the two cut-offs mean for holders was sorted out in August in our overview of the two deadlines before the ICON blockchain shuts down. Since 30 September the swap has run in one direction only; converting SODA back into ICX has been ruled out since then. On 31 December 2026 the chain will be halted permanently, with only an archive remaining reachable for looking up old transactions.

That leaves exactly two states for an ICX balance at year-end: swapped, or worthless on a shut-down chain. How large the unswapped portion is was established by cryptoticker.io in early September through its own count of both chains: at the time, 1.109 billion ICX still sat on the ICON chain, and there is no public progress indicator for the migration. No more recent reliable figure is available.

Exchange or your own wallet: who carries out the migration

Self-custody means the keys to the coins lie with the holder and not with an exchange. For the ICX migration, that difference determines who has to act.

If the balance sits on an exchange that carries out the migration itself, the house handles the swap and credits SODA. Several venues have already completed this and automatically converted customer balances in the process. If the balance sits in a private wallet, by contrast, it does not migrate on its own: there the holder has to start the swap through the project's official portal, and the 31 December deadline applies without leniency. What decides the timetable is not 31 December but the day your own exchange ends its support.

Copycat portals asking for keys tend to multiply around migrations like this one. Open the swap page only through the official project address and never enter a seed phrase; a genuine migration portal asks for a signature from the wallet, not a word list.

Holding period and tax: what separates a sale, a forced conversion and a migration

The holding period is the span after which a gain from a private sale of crypto assets stays tax-free in Germany; under section 23 of the German Income Tax Act it is one year. Within that year the gain is taxable, with a threshold applying to the sum of all private disposals in a year.

Three routes now run in parallel for ICX, and they are not treated alike for tax. Selling yourself on an exchange is a clear disposal with a date and proceeds. A forced conversion, in which the exchange turns the residual balance into euros without an order, is economically a sale as well, merely without your own decision on timing; it too triggers the event. The swap of ICX into SODA, by contrast, is legally contested: whether a swap in the course of a project migration counts as a disposal of the old token or as the continuation of the same investment has not been conclusively settled, and the answer determines whether the holding period starts afresh.

In practical terms: record for each of these events when it took place, how many tokens were involved and what value arose. On a holding that has been sitting since 2021 or longer, the question of a restarted holding period can decide more than the price does. With larger holdings or an unclear acquisition history, the case belongs with a tax adviser rather than a rule of thumb.

What argues against a quick sale, and what argues for it

Market mechanics argue for a prompt exit. With the won pair, close to half of trading disappears, and the Korean premium of a good eight percent disappears with it. Anyone who intends to sell anyway sells into a thinner market the longer they wait. Added to that, at a market value of just under $15 million even a medium-sized order leaves visible traces in the price.

Against a rushed sale stand the tax question and the size of the amounts. At 1.35 US cents per token, a holding of 10,000 ICX is worth around $135; trading and withdrawal fees can eat up a noticeable share of that. Whoever migrates instead of selling keeps a position in the successor project, but carries its risk. And that risk is real: a project that shuts down its own blockchain, and a token whose largest venue removes it over unresolved security questions, are both warning signs. A total loss is possible at a value of this size, and on both routes.

This text cannot give a recommendation, because the right answer depends on the purchase price, the holding period, the size of the position and your own assessment of the successor project. What it can give is the calendar: after 19 October, every one of these decisions becomes more expensive to carry out, and after 31 December one of them is no longer possible at all.

ICX: 19 October decides the four later deadlines

Three steps sort out the situation, and the first costs only a few minutes:

1. Establish the balance and its location. Look in every account and every wallet for where ICX is still sitting, and note the deadline that applies at each place. If the balance is at an exchange that has already removed it, the withdrawal deadline is the date that counts. Which venues are suitable for a move is shown in our comparison of crypto exchanges.
2. Decide before 19 October, not after. Selling or migrating are the two routes; both are cheaper to carry out before the trading close than after it. Migrating out of self-custody requires access to the keys and a small reserve for network fees. Which device suits that is set out in the hardware wallet comparison.
3. Document every event. The date, the number of tokens and the value of every sale, forced conversion and swap belong in your own records while the exchange still displays them. After an account closure, the evidence is laborious to obtain. The tools in our overview of crypto tax software and portfolio trackers help with the collecting.

Shibburn lists 707,506,927 Shiba Inu tokens burned over 30 days as of Thursday morning, 1,945,872 of them in the past 24 hours. Measured against a circulating supply of 585.48 trillion SHIB, that comes to 0.000121 percent, and at a price of $0.0000054 it is worth roughly $3,820 for the whole month. A burn headline only becomes readable with those two reference points: the share of supply and the dollar value.

Shiba Inu and the 707,506,927 tokens burned over the past 30 days

A burn is a transfer of tokens to an address whose private key nobody holds. The tokens stay visible on the chain but can no longer be moved, and the circulating supply drops by that amount on paper. For Shiba Inu, Shibburn adds up these transfers and publishes them as daily, weekly and monthly totals.

The three figures from 9 October sit far apart. Over 24 hours they add up to 1,945,872 SHIB, over seven days to 401,302,586 and over 30 days to 707,506,927. The weekly figure therefore carries 56.7 percent of the monthly total, although a week accounts for barely a quarter of the period. A single large transfer shifts the statistic for weeks.

What 707.5 million SHIB amount to against 585.48 trillion in circulation

The ratio is the point at which most reports stop. 707,506,927 divided by 585,482,205,001,143 gives 0.00000120842, or 0.000121 percent. If the pace stayed the same for a year, roughly 8.49 billion SHIB would be burned, and it would take about 690 years for a single percent of today's supply to disappear. Reaching half the supply would take a good 34,000 years on paper.

That calculation is not a forecast but an extrapolation of the current pace. The only thing it reveals is the order of magnitude the mechanism works in. And 707 million sounds large only until you name the reference: there are 585 trillion of them.

Shibarium and ShibTorch: how transaction fees turn into burned tokens

Shibarium is the project's own network, a layer above Ethereum that bundles transactions and settles them more cheaply. The base fees of transactions there accumulate in the network currency BONE, are swapped into SHIB and sent to a burn address. The mechanism is called ShibTorch.

That has a consequence worth keeping in mind whenever you read a burn figure: the pace follows network load rather than a calendar. There is no fixed schedule under which a given amount disappears each month. When little is settled on Shibarium the burn falls, and on quiet days single-digit millions are left over, as the 1,945,872 tokens of the past 24 hours show.

The burn rate jumps by thousands of percent because the base is tiny

Early October brought reports of a burn rate rising by several thousand percent. Percentages like that appear when a quiet previous day serves as the comparison base. If the daily figure climbs from 1.9 million to 297 million, that works out at more than 15,000 percent, even though the absolute amount still sits in the hundred-thousandths of a percent of supply.

The current numbers show the same swing in the other direction. The daily average of the past week is around 57.3 million SHIB; the past 24 hours brought 1,945,872. That amounts to 3.4 percent of the weekly average, a drop of more than 96 percent, and this figure would work as a headline just as well without anything having changed about the mechanism. A rate without an absolute amount and without a reference point says little about Shiba Inu.

The burn address balance on chain: 410.437 trillion SHIB

The figure that cannot be spun is the balance of the burn address. The best-known one ends in 2069 and holds 410,437,103,366,901 SHIB on 9 October according to Ethplorer. That comes to around 41 percent of the original one quadrillion created in 2020, and it stems overwhelmingly from a single action in May 2021, when a large part of the supply was destroyed in one go.

Shibburn puts the total of all burns at 410,844,855,570,460 SHIB. The gap of roughly 407.75 billion tokens to the balance of the 2069 address comes from the counter adding up several burn addresses. Put both figures side by side and the scale of the running burn against the historical stock is immediately clear: the 707.5 million of a month are 0.00017 percent of what already sits at those addresses.

Four days, 323.5 million tokens: the jump in the 30-day balance

On 5 October, cryptoticker reported 384 million SHIB over 30 days in its burn balance for Shiba Inu. Four days later the same counter stands at 707,506,927. The increase of 323.5 million tokens amounts to a gain of 84.2 percent in the monthly balance, and it comes largely from a single large transfer in early October that also carries the weekly figure of 401.3 million.

That is precisely why a monthly figure should never be read as a trend. The value is a rolling window: once the large transfer drops out of the 30-day period in about four weeks, the figure halves again without anyone having done anything differently. The same mechanic then produces headlines about a supposed collapse in burn activity.

Daily turnover of $91.7 million against $3,820 a month

The dollar value makes the order of magnitude clearest fastest. At a price of $0.0000054 on Thursday morning, the 707,506,927 tokens of a month are worth around $3,820, or roughly 3,400 euros. The 1,945,872 tokens of the past 24 hours come to $10.51.

Against that stands trading turnover of $91.7 million in 24 hours, at a market capitalisation of $3.18 billion (data from CoinGecko, as of 9 October). A single trading day therefore moves about 24,000 times what a full month of burns takes out of circulation. The SHIB price forms on the demand side, and the supply side is barely touched by this mechanism over the course of a month.

Sources for the table: burn figures from Shibburn, price and supply from CoinGecko, both as of 9 October. The value of the total is a pure arithmetic figure at today's price, not an amount anyone ever paid.

Holding period, the 1,000-euro threshold and what a burn headline settles for tax

For investors in Germany, the holding period decides on a SHIB sale, not the burn statistic. Under section 23 of the German Income Tax Act, a gain from a private disposal is tax-free if more than one year lies between purchase and sale. Below that period a threshold of 1,000 euros per calendar year applies to all private disposals taken together; once it is exceeded, the entire gain is taxable and not only the excess.

A burn headline changes nothing in that calculation, because it triggers no inflow. Selling on the strength of a headline shortly before the one-year mark can mean paying tax on a gain that would have been tax-free a few weeks later. Which purchase and sale records the tax office wants to see, and which tools track holding periods per tranche, is set out in the overview of crypto tax software and portfolio trackers.

Spread, minimum order size and the eighth decimal place on SHIB

At a price of $0.0000054 the eighth decimal place decides what you pay. A move of a single place at this scale already amounts to around 0.18 percent, as the look at tick size on Shiba Inu from 4 October showed. The gap between bid and ask is a multiple of that on many venues.

Over 24 hours SHIB moved between $0.00000510 and $0.00000546, a range of 7.1 percent. An order placed in a hurry because of a headline hits that range at a random point. Before buying, it is worth looking at the actual fee structure and the spread of the venue in question, compiled in the comparison of crypto exchanges for investors in Germany.

On Thursday morning SHIB was up 0.5 percent, while Ethereum lost 2.4 percent, Dogecoin 2.1 percent and Solana 3.6 percent. Over seven days, by contrast, it shows a loss of 7.9 percent. A single green day inside a weak week is no signal, and it has nothing to do with the burn in any case.

The counter-test on a burn headline: share, dollar value and address balance

The counter-test needs two figures and a calculator. The first is the reported burn amount for a clearly named period, the second the current circulating supply. Dividing one by the other gives the share, and multiplying the burn amount by the price gives the dollar value.

Three things reliably expose an inflated report. A percentage without an absolute amount leaves out the base it refers to. A 24-hour figure without the weekly and monthly figures beside it hides whether a single transfer is carrying the statistic. And a burn figure without a price conversion leaves open whether the subject is millions or a two-digit dollar amount. With Shiba Inu it is currently the two-digit amount per day.

The balance of the burn address itself serves as the counter-test to the counter. It is openly visible at Ethplorer and can be compared from week to week. If it does not rise by the order of magnitude a report claims, the report is wrong.

Burn balance: 0.000121 percent a month is the whole effect

1. Convert every burn headline into two numbers before you trade: the share of supply and the value in euros. When the share sits at 0.000121 percent a month, as it does today, the headline is news about the mechanism and not about supply. Which venues are licensed under MiCA in Germany and what fees they charge is set out in the comparison of regulated crypto exchanges.
2. Look at the range before every order. SHIB swung 7.1 percent over 24 hours, and the spread comes on top of that. Which exchange runs which fee model, and where limit orders are available without a surcharge, is shown in the comparison of crypto exchanges.
3. Record the purchase dates per tranche. The one-year period under section 23 of the German Income Tax Act decides over considerably more money on SHIB than any burn statistic, and it runs separately for each purchase. Tools for that are listed in the overview of portfolio trackers with tax features.

The Cronos community has resolved that 228 million CRO be burned and that the revenue of two new products flow into buybacks in future. At the same time, the network’s Strategic Reserve releases around 1.167 billion CRO every month. The two figures belong together, and it is precisely that ratio which decides whether a burn shifts anything in the supply at all.

Cronos (CRO) is the token of the Cronos blockchain, which comes out of the orbit of the trading platform Crypto.com. The token pays transaction fees on the network, is staked, and serves as a discount instrument in the provider’s products. Holding it means depending on two things: demand, and the quantity that newly joins it.

The CRO price this week: 0.0538 euros and 12.2 percent down in seven days

CRO cost 0.0538 euros on Friday, October 9, at around 6 in the morning, according to CoinGecko. Over seven days that is 12.2 percent less, over 24 hours 3.5 percent less. Over 30 days the loss is markedly smaller at 3.0 percent, so the decline has concentrated into this week. With a market capitalisation of around 2.66 billion euros, CRO sits at rank 39 on CoinGecko.

The weekly high was 0.0622 euros on Monday, October 5, at around 1 in the afternoon. The weekly low followed three days later: 0.0527 euros on Thursday, October 8, at around 8 in the evening. From the high to the current level that is a discount of roughly 13.6 percent, from the low a recovery of a good 2 percent. For context: the all-time high of 0.793 euros dates from November 23, 2021.

The week fell into a broad pullback

The timing of the low coincides with a weak Thursday across the market as a whole. CRO was therefore not moving against the market but with it, and more strongly. That puts the price move into perspective as a statement about the vote: a resolution that touches supply works over months, not over one trading week.

The burn carried out: 228 million CRO to a burn address on Cronos POS

The vote on two proposals closed on October 3 and the result was reported on October 4. Proposal 36 took 228 million CRO out of what is called the community pool and sent them to a burn address on the Cronos POS chain, as Blockonomi reports. A burn address is an address with no known private key: whatever arrives there can no longer be moved and counts as permanently out of circulation.

The procedure is not new. Four earlier rounds each removed 50 million CRO. Together with the current round, 428 million CRO have now been burned through this programme. Blockonomi values the 228 million at about 15 million dollars; at Friday morning’s price the quantity corresponds to around 12.3 million euros. The spread comes from CRO having given way between the resolution and today.

We reported on the vote while it was running on October 1 in our piece on the Cronos burn vote. The result was still outstanding then. Now it is in, and with it the question of what it moves in relation to total supply.

Proposal 37 in force: revenue from Ult and Cronos Launch goes into monthly buybacks

The second resolution is the further-reaching one. Proposal 37 carries the name “Product Revenue Buyback and Burn of CRO” and found 99.78 percent approval, according to a report from KuCoin. It commits to converting all revenue from two products into CRO on the open market and then burning that CRO. The buybacks are to be executed monthly on-chain, and the transaction hash is to be published for every operation.

Both products are young. Cronos Launch went live on September 15, the trading app Ult on September 17. Neither has therefore been on the market for three weeks. How much revenue they generate has not been published so far, and without that figure the effect of the buyback programme remains an open quantity. A programme that deploys 100 percent of revenue says nothing about how high that revenue is.

Why the published transaction hash is the most useful part

A transaction hash is the unique identifier of an operation on the blockchain. Published for each buyback, it makes the commitment something to recalculate rather than to believe. For holders that is the only part of the resolution verifiable without inside knowledge. The first monthly cycle is still to come, so there is no record of it yet.

The Strategic Reserve: 70 billion CRO and around 1.167 billion a month

The second half of the calculation sits in an older resolution. In March 2025 the Cronos community voted to create 70 billion new CRO and hold them in an escrow account as the Strategic Reserve on the Cronos POS chain. That effectively reversed a burn from 2021 and brought total supply back towards 100 billion CRO.

The reserve is not freely available; it vests. Under the governance proposal, around 1.167 billion CRO come free roughly every 30.4 days, linearly and monthly, administered through a periodic vesting account of the Cosmos SDK. On the term the accounts diverge: one reading describes five years with 60 monthly tranches, while other reports arrive at ten years in total because they count in a lock-up period that has already expired. That spread cannot be resolved from the public information, and it is therefore left standing here as a spread.

The calendar dates of the individual tranches are also less firm than overview pages make them look. CoinGecko lists October 17 as the next date, with 1.17 billion CRO and 1.2 percent of total supply. A data provider modelling the same reserve expressly marks the monthly placement as an estimate and names no individual dates at all. For holders that means the monthly rate is documented, while the exact day is an assumption of the trackers.

Burn against issuance: 428 million stand against one monthly tranche

Now the two sides can be laid side by side. Burned through the community programme is a total of 428 million CRO, built up over five rounds. Released from the reserve is around 1.167 billion CRO in a single month. Set the two figures in relation and one monthly tranche corresponds to about 2.7 times the entire burn to date. Measured against the circulating supply of 49.5 billion CRO, that is roughly 2.4 percent per month, while the 228 million of the latest round make up just under half a percent.

This comparison carries an important caveat, and it belongs ahead of any conclusion. A release from vesting is not a sale. The tokens move into the reserve’s availability, and what happens to them there hangs on its decisions. Supply for sale only arises once they reach a market. Conversely, the 228 million came from the community pool, that is from holdings not yet in circulation. Both movements are supply mechanics; neither is automatically buying or selling pressure.

What remains is the order of magnitude. A buyback programme fed from the revenue of two three-week-old products works against a monthly rate in the billions. For it to shrink supply on a net basis, that revenue would have to reach a level for which no published basis exists so far. Buying CRO through a regulated crypto exchange therefore means buying into a supply that is scheduled to keep growing.

Circulating supply and dilution: 49.5 billion CRO are in circulation, 99 billion exist

The bare quantities make the picture clearer. In circulation are around 49.5 billion CRO according to CoinGecko, with total supply at just under 99 billion. Roughly half the existing supply is therefore not yet in the market. Dilution describes exactly that process: the share a single token has in the overall stock falls when new tokens join without demand growing with them.

The 428 million burned CRO correspond to 0.43 percent of total supply. That is a measurable quantity, but not one that shifts the relationship between circulation and total stock. The reserve remains the determining factor in this balance, and the staking payouts hang on it too under the resolution: the terms, including lock-up periods and bonus tiers, stay unchanged according to Blockonomi, supported out of the reserve, while ongoing issuance falls.

These levels show the week’s path: 0.0622 euros above, 0.0527 euros below

Three values from this week are useful for watching the next few days. On the upside, Monday’s weekly high of 0.0622 euros marks the point where the recovery last ended. On the downside lies Thursday evening’s weekly low of 0.0527 euros; the price stands a good 2 percent above it. Between them runs the current level of 0.0538 euros.

These levels are an observation, not a price target. All they show is where trading last took place, and nothing about where it will take place next. Using them means using them as orientation for your own limits, not as a forecast.

Buying route, custody and holding period for CRO: what to watch with your provider

Four points are practically relevant for investors in Germany. What decides is your own access to the token, not the outcome of the vote.

The provider and its authorisation. Since the EU regulation MiCA took hold, providers of crypto services in Germany need authorisation as a crypto asset service provider; the old permission under the Banking Act no longer suffices. Check before buying whether your provider holds that authorisation and whether CRO is tradable there at all. Tradability and authorisation are two separate questions.

Staking and what it really is. Staking means tying up tokens for a time and receiving a payment for it. Under the Cronos resolution that payment comes from the reserve, not from a profit. Lock-up periods also mean you cannot simply get out in a falling market. Anyone staking should know how long their tokens are tied up and who pays the reward.

Custody. Tokens sitting on an exchange sit within that exchange’s reach. In August 2026, after an attack on a protocol in its own ecosystem, Cronos rolled back blocks, and that episode showed that the chain itself can intervene too. For larger holdings, self-custody is the obvious answer, with everything that entails in responsibility for the private key.

Holding period. For crypto assets held privately, a one-year holding period has applied in Germany so far: once it passes, gains on a sale are tax-free. Abolishing that period is politically under discussion but has not been decided. Staking rewards are to be treated separately and are relevant for tax in the year they accrue. Record your purchase dates while the period still applies.

What the calculation does not cover: staking issuance and circulation without a burn

Three gaps remain open after this resolution, and they are the reason no supply squeeze follows from 428 million burned CRO. The revenue of the two products is not published, so the buyback quantity is unknown. The term of the reserve is given contradictorily in the sources, so the end of the monthly rates is unclear. And the staking payouts continue to run out of the reserve, so one part of the system keeps adding to supply while another part takes away from it.

What can be checked, by contrast, is the execution. The first monthly cycle of buybacks is still to come. If the announced transaction hashes appear, the quantity can be counted and set against the monthly tranche. If they fail to appear, that is the more telling information.

CRO burn: 428 million gone, 1.17 billion follow every month

1. Put the first buyback cycle in your diary. It is the first evidence of whether the resolution turns into quantities. Record the purchase date and quantity of your own holdings while you are at it, because the holding period counts from the purchase; a portfolio tracker with a tax function handles that as you go rather than after the fact.
2. Check the terms before you stake CRO. What matters is the lock-up period and the source of the reward, here the reserve. Compare the terms with other staking offers before tying up tokens for months.
3. Decide where your tokens sit. For holdings you want to keep longer, the private key belongs in your hand; a hardware wallet separates the holding from the exchange’s reach. For small amounts you want to move, the exchange remains the more convenient place.

Polkadot has a stablecoin of its own. dotUSD has been running on the mainnet since October 8, 2026: a token pegged to the US dollar that has no issuer. No company issues it, no bank holds reserves, no supervisor has authorised it. It is steered by the holders of the network token DOT through the OpenGov voting system.

For investors in the European Union the launch falls at an awkward moment. On that same October 8, the European Securities and Markets Authority published an opinion that takes aim at exactly this kind of token. This piece explains what dotUSD is technically, why its construction collides with the EU crypto regulation MiCA, and which routes are left open to an investor in Germany.

dotUSD: what Polkadot launched on the mainnet on October 8

A stablecoin is a crypto asset whose price is meant to track a stable reference, usually a currency such as the US dollar. USDT and USDC are the well-known examples: there a company stands behind the token, manages reserves and undertakes to redeem it.

dotUSD takes a different route. The proposal underlying the launch states expressly that the token is to have no issuer and to work solely through logic on the blockchain. Polkadot’s own description calls it an overcollateralised stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Overcollateralised means that behind every token issued sits more security than its face value, so that price swings in the collateral do not immediately push the token below the peg.

The large price database CoinGecko does not yet show a circulating supply for dotUSD. The token is listed there under the stablecoins category, but price and supply still stand at zero the day after the launch. How big dotUSD really is cannot therefore be put in serious figures on this Thursday.

Referendum 1944: how DOT governance resolved on the stablecoin

Legally and organisationally, dotUSD hangs on a vote. OpenGov referendum 1944 carries the title “dotUSD: A Native Stablecoin for Polkadot” and is marked as executed following its approval. It was tabled by the Polkadot Community Foundation, which expressly claims only an administrative role for itself in it.

OpenGov is Polkadot’s voting procedure: anyone holding DOT can decide on proposals, and an approved proposal is executed by the chain itself. Responsibility for dotUSD therefore rests with a shifting majority of token holders. That construction is technically consistent and, in supervisory terms, the core problem, as the section on MiCA below shows.

Peg Stability Module: how dotUSD is tied to the dollar in phase one

The launch comes in two stages, and the first looks different from what the term “native stablecoin” suggests. In phase one, users mint dotUSD one for one against USDT, through what is called a Peg Stability Module and subject to a cap. A Peg Stability Module is a contract on the chain that offers a fixed exchange rate between two tokens and so pins the price of the new token to that of the old one.

That means the current stage leaves dotUSD dependent on a third-party stablecoin for its backing. Holding dotUSD means carrying a share of the risk in the USDT reserves behind it. Which stablecoins German providers still offer at all, and how they differ, is shown by our stablecoin comparison.

Overcollateralisation along Liquity v2 lines: what phase two plans with DOT vaults

The second stage is meant to free the token from USDT. Users will then lock DOT in a vault and mint dotUSD against it below the dollar value of the collateral. The proposal gives a collateralisation ratio of 150 percent as an example: lock collateral worth 1,000 dollars and you mint at most around 666 dollars in dotUSD. The worked example in the proposal itself uses a DOT price of 5 dollars and therefore does not reflect today’s market.

Liquity v2 as the model: stability pool, liquidations and redemptions

As the technical basis the proposal names Liquity v2 and its stablecoin BOLD. That brings a price oracle to put the collateral’s price on the chain, a stability pool to absorb undercollateralised positions, plus liquidations and redemptions. A liquidation here means that a position’s collateral is realised compulsorily once its value falls below the required ratio. For the holder that means a sharp fall in DOT can cost the locked collateral, without any action of their own.

The dollar peg is to be held at this stage through two mechanisms: arbitrage, in which traders even out deviations by redeeming into DOT, and a capped buffer of existing stablecoins. Both are market-dependent mechanisms. Neither creates a claim against a counterparty.

E-money tokens and ARTs: what authorisation MiCA requires for a stablecoin

The EU regulation on markets in crypto assets, MiCA for short, has applied since 2024. It divides stablecoins into two classes: e-money tokens (EMTs), which reference a single official currency, and asset-referenced tokens (ARTs), which point to a basket or to other values. Under that scheme a token pegged to the US dollar falls into the first class.

On its page on token issuance under MiCAR, BaFin sets out who may issue such tokens at all. On e-money tokens it states that only credit institutions or e-money institutions may issue them or apply for their admission to trading. For asset-referenced tokens the supervisor requires authorisation in advance, citing article 16(1)(a) read with article 18 MiCAR. In both cases a crypto asset white paper has to be submitted.

Each of these duties presupposes an entity able to discharge it: an institution with a licence, an address for the supervisor, someone answerable for the white paper. That is precisely the place dotUSD leaves empty by its own description. A token without an issuer cannot meet the requirements placed on an issuer, and not out of negligence but by construction. We have set out elsewhere in detail which duties MiCA loads onto companies.

The ESMA opinion of October 8: three months to clear non-compliant stablecoins

On dotUSD’s launch day, ESMA sharpened its position on such tokens. In its opinion of October 8, 2026, reference ESMA75-113276571-1742, the authority writes that crypto asset service providers authorised under MiCA should cease providing services relating to non-MiCA-compliant stablecoins to clients in the European Union.

The scope is drawn widely. All the crypto services in the regulation are covered, singly or in combination: trading platforms, exchange, order execution, custody, portfolio management and transfers. National supervisors are to check that firms do not hold such tokens, do not list them and do not give clients access to them. Technical, contractual and organisational controls are expected, including ones that stop clients from building up or increasing existing positions.

For legacy holdings the opinion names a deadline: national authorities should require a wind-down no later than three months after the opinion is published, and as early as possible. What may continue during that time is narrowly limited to activities needed for liquidation, exchange, withdrawal, transfer or custody of such assets. Even that is to be time-limited, risk-based and closely monitored.

No issuer, no redemption claim: where the risk sits for holders

With a stablecoin that has a company behind it, there is an address a holder can turn to when the peg breaks. With dotUSD there is none. Under the proposal, the dollar peg rests on arbitrage and a capped stablecoin buffer, which is to say on the behaviour of market participants and on program code.

A practical consequence follows: if you hold dotUSD and see the price drift away from a dollar, you have no contractual counterparty from whom to demand the face value. You can sell the token on the market or, in the second stage, redeem it into DOT through the chain’s mechanism. Both depend on liquidity and mechanics working at that moment.

There is also the risk in the first stage. As long as the backing consists of USDT, dotUSD hangs on a token whose availability at MiCA-regulated providers in the EU is currently being wound back. An exchange through a supervised platform in Germany is therefore not a reliable escape route.

DOT at 1.15 dollars: the figures of the trading day

The network token itself reacted to the launch fairly calmly, but better than the market as a whole. DOT was quoted at 1.15 US dollars early on Thursday, 2.85 percent above its level 24 hours earlier. The day’s range ran from 1.01 to 1.15 dollars, so the price sat at the upper edge. Market capitalisation came to around 1.96 billion dollars, rank 51 in the overall market. Over seven days it is down 3.28 percent, over 30 days down 4.39 percent. All figures come from CoinGecko.

That gain falls in a weak market. Total crypto market capitalisation stood at about 2.78 trillion dollars at the same time, 4.69 percent below the previous day. Bitcoin was quoted at just under 82,000 dollars. DOT rising while broad parts of the market give way is striking, but the available data do not pin it on the stablecoin launch alone. The project’s description voices the expectation that demand for dotUSD in phase two will turn into direct demand for DOT, because collateral is withdrawn from free circulation. An expectation is not a measurement.

Buying route and custody in Germany: what works through regulated providers

In practice the position for an investor in Germany reads like this: access to dotUSD through a platform supervised in the EU is not to be expected on ESMA’s stance, as long as the token does not meet the regulation’s requirements. Wanting to hold it anyway leads to routes outside the regulated framework, which means self-custody through your own wallet on the Polkadot chain.

Self-custody: what hangs on the key

With self-custody the holder carries responsibility for the private key. There is no office that resets a lost password, and no deposit guarantee. A hardware wallet keeps the key in a separate device, apart from the computer or smartphone. Added to that is the risk of the vaults in phase two, where a slide in DOT can hit the locked collateral.

Holding period and tax: how gains from stablecoin dealings are taxed in Germany

In Germany crypto assets count as other assets. Gains from a sale within one year of purchase are taxable under section 23 of the Income Tax Act; after a year has passed they stay tax-free. An exemption threshold of 1,000 euros per calendar year applies to gains from private disposals; once it is exceeded, the entire gain is taxable.

Swapping one stablecoin for another crypto asset is a disposal for tax purposes, even when the dollar value stays the same. Minting dotUSD against USDT in phase one therefore sets off a tax-relevant transaction. Income from a vault would have to be assessed separately. This outline is not tax advice, and the treatment of a token without an issuer is not conclusively settled; for larger amounts the case belongs with a tax adviser.

dotUSD: without an authorised issuer, access stays narrow

With dotUSD, Polkadot has launched something that is cleanly described in technical terms and unfinished in regulatory ones. For German investors, day one changes little, because the route through supervised providers remains blocked. Three things are worth doing now:

1. Place your own provider. Check whether your platform holds a MiCA licence and which stablecoins it still lists. For comparison, the overview is with the regulated crypto exchanges.
2. Go through existing stablecoin positions. ESMA’s three-month deadline concerns legacy holdings at service providers, not tokens in your own wallet. Which custody solution fits is shown by the hardware wallet comparison.
3. Document every swap. Each swap from one stablecoin into another is a tax-relevant event. A tax tool or portfolio tracker records date, price and holding period before the tax return comes round.

TLDR:

• The UK sanctioned Cryptomus, Heleket, and TokenSpot over links to Russia’s wartime economy.
• Chainalysis linked Cryptomus and Heleket to more than 15,000 distinct illicit counterparties.
• TokenSpot, Grinex, and Meer sent funds toward an HTX deposit address receiving over $308 million.
• The sanctions also target Russian oil, military supply chains, financial institutions, and shadow fleet tankers.

The UK sanctioned three crypto firms on October 8 over alleged links to Russia’s wartime economy and sanctions evasion. The targets include payment processors Cryptomus and Heleket, operated by Xeltox Enterprises Ltd., and Kyrgyzstani exchange TokenSpot CJSC.

Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis identified extensive connections between these services and illicit financial networks. Its analysis found that Cryptomus and Heleket received funds from more than 15,000 distinct illicit counterparties. 

Separately, TokenSpot was linked to a network of exchanges funneling funds toward an HTX deposit address that received over $308 million.

What the UK Crypto Sanctions Reveal About Illicit Finance

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office designated 38 entities on October 8. The measures target organizations accused of supporting Russia’s wartime economy, military supply chains, and sanctions evasion.

According to Chainalysis, Cryptomus and Heleket received funds associated with scams, ransomware, fraud shops, and organized criminal networks. Their transaction histories also included indirect flows connected to North Korea’s Lazarus Group and the $1.4 billion Bybit exploit.

Chainalysis found that both processors received funds from more than 15,000 distinct illicit counterparties. In several categories, their exposure exceeded that of all tracked cryptocurrency mixing services combined.

These categories included scams, sanctioned jurisdictions, terrorist financing, and other illicit activity. Mixers deliberately obscure transaction trails, while payment processors typically facilitate cryptocurrency transfers and conversions.

The findings raise concerns about how services presented as legitimate payment providers can facilitate illicit financial flows. Weak identity verification and compliance controls can make it easier for criminal actors to move cryptocurrency through these platforms.

Chainalysis also reported a surge in illicit counterparties linked to both services during late 2025. The number exceeded 900 in a single month, although newly designated entities may have contributed to the increase.

The analysis suggests that enforcement actions against other services may have redirected activity. Following the dismantling of Russian exchange Garantex in 2025, some users may have shifted activity toward Cryptomus and Heleket.

Cryptomus had also faced regulatory action in Canada. In October 2025, FINTRAC imposed a CAD 177 million penalty for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing violations.

How TokenSpot Connects to Russia’s Sanctions-Evasion Network

Chainalysis identified connections between TokenSpot and Kyrgyzstani exchanges Grinex and Meer. Both exchanges were linked to the broader network surrounding A7A5, a ruble-backed cryptocurrency associated with sanctions-evasion activity.

Blockchain transaction analysis showed funds from all three exchanges converging on the same HTX deposit address. That address received more than $308 million, according to Chainalysis Reactor analysis.

The firm also identified connections to addresses affiliated with Ilan Shor and the A7A5 instant swapper. This service allows users to exchange ruble-backed A7A5 tokens for dollar-backed stablecoins.

Chainalysis further noted similarities between the websites of TokenSpot and Meer. Both operate Russian-language crypto-fiat exchange platforms with closely matching layouts and visual elements. These similarities suggest shared infrastructure or operators, although website similarities alone cannot establish common ownership.

The UK’s sanctions package also extends beyond cryptocurrency. Authorities targeted Russian oil companies, financial institutions, military suppliers, and twelve shadow fleet tankers. The measures brought the total number of sanctioned vessels above 600.

For crypto traders and businesses, the designations demonstrate how blockchain transaction trails can expose links between seemingly separate services. Exchanges and payment providers connected to sanctioned entities may face heightened compliance scrutiny.

TLDR:

• Bitcoin has fallen 7% from its highs as government transfers and elevated unrealized profits weigh on sentiment.
• U.S. government Bitcoin holdings fell by 17,468 BTC since October 6, leaving 174,481 BTC tracked.
• Short-term holders sent 45,600 BTC to exchanges, including 29,100 BTC transferred at a loss.
• Bitcoin must defend $74,600 to preserve its early bull-market structure, according to CryptoQuant.

Bitcoin is trading at $82,529.31 after falling 3.96% over the past seven days. The decline follows a 7% pullback from recent highs, according to CryptoQuant. The analytics firm linked the sell-off to U.S. government Bitcoin transfers and elevated unrealized profits.

Short-term holders also sent 45,600 BTC to exchanges within 24 hours, increasing potential selling pressure. Traders are now watching $74,600, a key level that could determine whether Bitcoin’s early bull-market structure remains intact.

Why Bitcoin Is Facing Renewed Selling Pressure

CryptoQuant reported that tracked U.S. government Bitcoin holdings declined by 17,468 BTC since October 6. The transfers were valued at approximately $1.44 billion. 

Daily movements included 569 BTC on October 6, 4,632 BTC on October 7, and 12,267 BTC on October 8.

The tracked government balance now stands at 174,481 BTC. These transfers coincided with Bitcoin’s pullback, although the available data does not establish that every transferred coin was sold.

CryptoQuant also identified elevated unrealized profits as a source of market vulnerability. When investors hold substantial unrealized gains, price weakness can encourage profit-taking. That selling can intensify declines when buyers struggle to absorb available supply.

Short-term holder activity adds another concern. These investors transferred 45,600 BTC to exchanges within just 24 hours. Of that amount, 29,100 BTC moved at a loss, marking the largest loss-side exchange flow since June’s pre-rally consolidation.

Exchange transfers do not automatically mean investors have sold their Bitcoin. However, large inflows can signal greater readiness to trade or reduce exposure. Loss-making transfers also suggest that some recent buyers face pressure to exit their positions.

Can Bitcoin Hold $74,600 as BTC Price Tests Support?

CryptoQuant identified $74,600 as the short-term holder realized price. This metric represents the average acquisition price of BTC held by short-term investors. It helps traders assess whether recent buyers are collectively holding coins above or below their estimated cost basis.

According to CryptoQuant, holding above this level would preserve the early bull market structure. A decisive break below it could increase the risk of a deeper correction.

Technical analyst Dami-Defi identified $82,500 as Bitcoin’s immediate decision point. The level aligns with an earlier May high and represents nearby support. Bitcoin recently reached $86,996 before retreating to approximately $82,416 in the analyst’s assessment.

A weekly close below $82,500 could open a move toward $76,500, with approximately $74,000 providing another support area. These levels are technical scenarios rather than confirmed price targets.

Momentum indicators offer some counterbalance to the selling pressure. Dami-Defi reported a weekly Relative Strength Index of 57.77, while the MACD histogram remained positive despite contracting. 

Bitcoin would need to reclaim the $87,000 region to strengthen the recovery case, with 95,000–96,000 emerging as a potential upside area.

Lennaert Snyder highlighted additional liquidity zones following more than $1 billion in long liquidations. He identified potential resistance near $84,000, $85,000, $87,400, and $90,000. 

He also noted that a sweep below $80,000 followed by a strong recovery could present another trading setup.

For now, Bitcoin faces competing forces: rising selling pressure and technical support that could stabilize prices. The $82,500 area is the immediate test, while $74,600 remains the key threshold for assessing short-term holder profitability and broader market structure.

Understanding the Basics of CSGO Plinko

What is CSGO Plinko?

If you’re new to the world of CSGO Plinko, let’s start with the basics. It is inspired by the classic Plinko game, where you drop a disc down a peg-filled board and watch it bounce before landing in a prize slot. In CSGO Plinko, instead of a disc, you use CSGO skins as your “ball” and hope to land in a slot that will reward you with more valuable skins or even cash!

CSGO Plinko has gained immense popularity in the gaming community due to its simple yet addictive gameplay. Players are drawn to the excitement of watching their skins drop down the board, eagerly anticipating where they will land. The thrill of potentially winning rare and valuable skins adds an extra layer of excitement to the game.

CSGO Plinko is not just about luck. While the outcome of each drop is ultimately determined by chance, players can strategize and develop their own techniques to increase their chances of landing in high-value slots. This combination of luck and skill makes CSGO Plinko an engaging and captivating game mode for CSGO enthusiasts.

The Mechanics of CSGO Plinko

Playing CSGO Plinko is straightforward. Once you choose a site to play on (we’ll explore the best sites later), you deposit your skins into your account. These skins will then be converted into “chips” or “coins” that you can use to play Plinko.

• The board is usually filled with different slots, each representing a specific prize. These prizes can range from common skins to rare and valuable ones. Some slots may even offer cash rewards, adding an extra incentive for players to participate.
• When it’s time to play, you drop your chips into the board and watch as they make their way through the pegs. The path they take is entirely random, influenced by the pegs’ arrangement and the initial force of the drop. As the chips bounce and ricochet off the pegs, the anticipation builds, and players eagerly follow their trajectory, hoping for a favorable outcome.
• Your objective is to drop your chips strategically, aiming for slots that offer higher-value prizes. However, it’s important to note that the chances of landing on a high-value slot are usually smaller, making it a true test of luck and skill.

CSGO Plinko also offers various features and options to enhance the gameplay experience. Some sites may allow players to customize the trajectory of their chips, adding an extra layer of control to the game.

What to look for in a good CS2 Plinko site

When it comes to CSGO Plinko sites, there are a plethora of options available for players to choose from. These sites offer a unique and exciting way to engage with the CSGO community while potentially winning valuable skins and prizes. However, with so many choices, it’s important to carefully consider a few key features before diving into the world of CSGO Plinko.

Key Features to Look for in a CSGO Plinko Site

• One of the most crucial aspects to consider when selecting a CSGO Plinko site is its legitimacy and reputation within the community.
• It’s essential to choose a site that has a solid track record and is trusted by players. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from fellow CSGO enthusiasts can help ensure that you’re choosing a reputable platform.
• Another important feature to look for is the variety of skins and prizes offered by the site.
• A diverse selection of skins not only adds excitement to your gaming experience but also increases the chances of winning something you truly desire. Whether you’re looking for rare and exclusive skins or simply want to expand your collection, a site with a wide range of options will enhance your overall satisfaction.
• Security is also a paramount concern when it comes to CSGO Plinko sites. You want to ensure that your valuable skins and funds are protected from any potential threats.
• Look for sites that have implemented robust security measures such as encryption technology and two-factor authentication. These features will give you peace of mind and allow you to fully enjoy the thrill of playing without worrying about the safety of your assets.

The Role of Skins in CSGO Plinko

CSGO Plinko is a popular game mode within the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) community, and it revolves around the use of skins. Skins, which are not just cosmetic items, hold significant value within the CSGO community. They can range from being merely aesthetic upgrades to highly valuable items worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Understanding the value of skins is crucial when playing CSGO Plinko. The higher the value of the skin, the lower the chances of landing on it. This creates an intriguing dynamic where players must carefully consider their choices when selecting skins to use in the game. Some skins have become status symbols, representing a player’s skill, experience, or wealth within the CSGO community.

However, it’s not just about the prestige associated with high-value skins. Skins can also provide practical tactical advantages in the game. Certain skins may have unique visual effects or patterns that make it easier to spot enemies or blend in with the environment. These tactical advantages can give players an edge in gameplay, making skins not only visually appealing but also strategically valuable.

How to Trade Skins on CSGO

Trading skins in CSGO is a common practice among players. It allows them to acquire new skins or trade ones they no longer want for more desirable ones. The CSGO Plinko community has embraced skin trading as a way to enhance their gaming experience.

CSGO Plinko sites often have features that allow players to trade skins with other players directly on their platform. This adds another layer of excitement to the game, as players can strategically trade and acquire skins that may increase their chances of winning big on Plinko. The trading process involves negotiating with other players, assessing the value of different skins, and finding mutually beneficial trades.

Skin trading has created a vibrant marketplace within the CSGO community. There are dedicated websites and forums where players can buy, sell, and trade skins. These platforms have their own economies, with prices fluctuating based on supply and demand. Some skins have even become investment assets, with players buying and selling them as a form of speculative trading.

It’s important to note that skin trading also comes with risks. Scammers and fraudsters have infiltrated the skin trading scene, attempting to deceive players and steal their valuable skins. Therefore, it’s crucial for players to exercise caution and use trusted platforms when engaging in skin trading activities.

Strategies for Winning at CSGO Plinko

Welcome to the exciting world of CSGO Plinko! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, we’ve got some strategies to help you maximize your chances of winning. So, let’s dive in and explore some tips and tricks that can give you an edge in this thrilling game.

Tips for Beginners

If you’re new to CSGO Plinko, don’t worry! We’ve got some tips to help you get started on the right foot.

1. Firstly, take your time and observe the board before making your move. Understanding the slots’ distribution and the odds of landing on different prizes will give you an advantage. By carefully studying the layout, you can strategically plan your drops and increase your chances of hitting those high-value slots.
2. Secondly, don’t go all-in on a single drop. Spread your chips across multiple drops to increase your chances of landing on valuable prizes. This strategy allows you to diversify your bets and mitigate the risk of losing everything in one go. Remember, CSGO Plinko is a game of probabilities, so it’s essential to play strategically and not solely rely on luck.
3. Lastly, keep an eye on the Plinko community, as they often share valuable strategies and insights that can enhance your gameplay.

Engaging with fellow players and learning from their experiences can provide you with valuable knowledge and help you refine your own strategies. So, don’t hesitate to join forums, watch tutorial videos, and participate in discussions to level up your Plinko skills.

Advanced Strategies for Experienced Players

If you’re an experienced CSGO Plinko player looking to take your skills to the next level, consider implementing these advanced strategies. Firstly, analyze the recent patterns of the board.

Plinko sites often share a history of previous drops, allowing you to spot any patterns or biases. By studying these patterns, you can make more informed decisions and adapt your betting strategy accordingly.

Secondly, diversify your bets. Instead of solely focusing on high-value slots, consider making some smaller bets on higher-probability slots. This balanced approach can help you maintain a more consistent win rate.

While hitting those big jackpots is undoubtedly thrilling, a well-rounded strategy that includes smaller wins can help sustain your bankroll and keep you in the game for longer.

Last but not least, stay up to date with the latest updates and changes in the CSGO economy. Knowing which skins are in demand and which ones are losing value can give you a significant advantage in Plinko.

By understanding the market trends, you can make more informed decisions about which slots to target and which skins to aim for. Keeping a close eye on the market can be a game-changer, as it allows you to capitalize on opportunities and maximize your winnings.

Safety Measures and Fair Play on CSGO Plinko Sites

When it comes to online gaming, safety should always be a top priority, especially when valuable items are involved. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, it’s crucial to ensure that the CSGO Plinko site you choose has proper security measures in place. One of the key things to look for is SSL encryption, which ensures that your personal and financial information is protected from potential hackers.

In addition to SSL encryption, another important security feature to consider is two-factor authentication. This adds an extra layer of protection to your account by requiring you to verify your identity through a secondary device, such as your mobile phone. By enabling this feature, you can have peace of mind knowing that even if someone manages to obtain your login credentials, they won’t be able to access your account without the second verification step.

It’s essential to choose a CSGO Plinko site that has transparent terms of service. Take the time to read through these terms and understand the site’s policies regarding deposits, withdrawals, and any fees that may be associated with using their platform. By doing so, you can avoid any potential surprises or misunderstandings down the line.

Understanding the Fair Play Policy

CSGO Plinko sites take fair play seriously and implement various mechanisms to ensure a level playing field for all users. These mechanisms are designed to prevent any manipulation or cheating that could compromise the integrity of the game. As a responsible player, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the fair play policy of the site you choose to play on.

One aspect of fair play that you should be aware of is the site’s rules and regulations. These rules outline what is considered acceptable behavior and what actions may result in penalties or account suspensions. By understanding and adhering to these rules, you can contribute to a fair and transparent gaming experience for yourself and others.

Conclusion

And that wraps up our guide to the premier CS2 Plinko sites. Through extensive research and testing, we identified the leading platforms that excel in game variety, prizes, community experience and trustworthiness.

As with any gaming portal, we encourage practicing responsible play by setting deposit limits, taking breaks and never chasing losses when engaged in real-money Plinko. Protect your valuable CS2 skins and your wallet by sticking to reputable sites with proper encryption and security controls.

Guide to Crypto Gambling in The UK

In this complete guide, we will explore the advantages, risks, and legal landscape of crypto gambling in the UK, as well as provide tips on choosing the best crypto casinos.

Understanding Cryptocurrency and Online Gambling

Before delving into the world of crypto casinos, it is crucial to understand what cryptocurrency is. Essentially, cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for secure transactions and control the creation of new units. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are some popular cryptocurrencies used in online gambling.

What is Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a decentralized form of currency, meaning it is not regulated by any central authority such as a government or financial institution. Instead, transactions are recorded on a public ledger known as the blockchain, providing transparency and security.

The Evolution of Online Gambling

Over the years, online gambling has witnessed significant growth due to advancements in technology. The advent of cryptocurrency has further revolutionized the industry, offering players enhanced security, faster transactions, and greater privacy.

Let’s take a closer look at how cryptocurrency has transformed the online gambling landscape.

• One of the key advantages of using cryptocurrency in online gambling is the increased security it provides. Traditional payment methods often require players to share sensitive personal and financial information, which can be vulnerable to hacking or identity theft. With cryptocurrency, however, transactions are encrypted and verified through complex mathematical algorithms, making it nearly impossible for hackers to gain access to user data.
• Cryptocurrency also offers faster transactions compared to traditional banking methods. When using traditional payment methods, players often have to wait for several days for their deposits or withdrawals to be processed. With cryptocurrency, transactions are processed almost instantly, allowing players to enjoy a seamless and efficient gambling experience.
• Cryptocurrency provides greater privacy for online gamblers. Traditional payment methods leave a digital trail that can be traced back to the user, potentially compromising their privacy. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, allows users to remain anonymous, as transactions are recorded on the blockchain without revealing personal information.

As the popularity of cryptocurrency continues to grow, more and more online casinos are embracing this digital currency as a payment option. This not only expands the choices available to players but also opens up new opportunities for innovation within the online gambling industry.

Crypto Gambling in the UK Laws

While the popularity of crypto gambling continues to rise, it is essential to navigate the legal landscape to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

When it comes to online gambling activities in the UK, the regulatory authority that oversees the industry is the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). This commission is responsible for ensuring that gambling activities are conducted in a fair and transparent manner, protecting the interests of both players and operators. However, the specific regulations surrounding the use of cryptocurrency for gambling purposes are still evolving.

Current Laws and Regulations

The UKGC has recognized the growing influence of cryptocurrencies in the gambling industry and has taken steps to address the unique challenges they present. While there are currently no specific laws or regulations that solely focus on crypto gambling, the existing framework for online gambling applies to these activities as well.

Under the current laws, online gambling operators must obtain a license from the UKGC to legally offer their services to UK residents. This license ensures that operators meet certain standards, including player protection measures, fair game outcomes, and responsible gambling practices.

The UKGC also requires operators to have robust anti-money laundering and customer verification procedures in place.

The Role of the UK Gambling Commission

The UK Gambling Commission plays a crucial role in overseeing online gambling activities, including those involving cryptocurrencies. They strive to ensure fair and responsible gambling practices while protecting players from potential risks.

One of the key responsibilities of the UKGC is to monitor and enforce compliance with the regulations set forth for the gambling industry. This includes conducting regular audits and inspections of licensed operators to ensure they adhere to the required standards. The commission also has the power to impose fines and revoke licenses for operators found to be in violation of the regulations.

The UKGC works closely with other regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to address any potential issues related to the use of cryptocurrencies in gambling. This collaboration helps to ensure that the legal framework remains up-to-date and effective in protecting players.

While the legal landscape of crypto gambling in the UK is still evolving, the UK Gambling Commission is actively working to create a safe and regulated environment for players. By staying informed about the current laws and regulations, players can enjoy their crypto gambling experience with confidence.

Advantages of Crypto Casinos

Crypto casinos offer several advantages over traditional online casinos, making them an appealing choice for UK players.

Anonymity and Privacy

One of the significant benefits of crypto casinos is the enhanced privacy they provide. With cryptocurrencies, players can enjoy gambling without revealing their identities, ensuring a level of anonymity.

Imagine being able to place bets and play your favorite casino games without worrying about your personal information being exposed. Crypto casinos make this possible by utilizing blockchain technology, which allows for secure and anonymous transactions. Your financial details and personal data remain protected, giving you peace of mind while you enjoy your gambling experience.

Speed of Transactions

Traditional online casinos often have lengthy withdrawal processes. However, with crypto casinos, transactions are typically faster, allowing players to receive their winnings more quickly.

When you win at a traditional online casino, you may have to wait for days or even weeks to receive your funds. This can be frustrating, especially when you’re eager to enjoy your winnings.

Crypto casinos, on the other hand, offer near-instantaneous transactions. With just a few clicks, you can withdraw your funds and have them in your crypto wallet within minutes. This means you can start using your winnings right away, whether it’s for more gambling or other purchases.

Bonuses and Promotions

Crypto casinos often offer attractive bonuses and promotions to entice players. These can include welcome bonuses, deposit matches, and free spins, enhancing the overall gambling experience.

At a crypto casino, you can expect to be greeted with generous bonuses and exciting promotions. Whether you’re a new player or a loyal customer, these rewards can significantly enhance your gambling experience.

From welcome bonuses that give you extra funds to play with, to deposit matches that increase your bankroll, crypto casinos know how to keep their players happy.

Additionally, free spins on popular slot games are often part of the package, giving you more chances to win big.

Many crypto casinos have loyalty programs that reward players for their continued patronage. These programs often offer exclusive perks such as cashback, VIP treatment, and access to special events. So not only do you get to enjoy the thrill of gambling, but you also get to reap the benefits of being a valued player.

Risks and Challenges of Crypto Gambling

While there are numerous advantages to crypto gambling, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and challenges associated with this form of gambling.

One of the main risks of crypto gambling is the volatility of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are known for their unpredictable nature.

The value of these digital currencies can fluctuate greatly, potentially affecting the amount of winnings or losses in online gambling. Imagine placing a bet with Bitcoin when its value is high, only to see it plummet shortly after. This volatility adds an extra layer of uncertainty to the already risky world of gambling.

Another challenge that crypto gamblers face is security concerns. While blockchain technology offers enhanced security, there have been instances of hacking and security breaches in the crypto world. It is crucial to choose reputable crypto casinos to minimize the risk of such incidents.

Ensuring that the platform you are using has robust security measures in place is essential to protect your funds and personal information.

In addition to volatility and security concerns, there are also regulatory uncertainties surrounding crypto gambling. Due to the relatively new nature of cryptocurrencies, governments and regulatory bodies are still figuring out how to approach this emerging industry.

This lack of clear regulations can create a sense of uncertainty for both players and operators. It is important to stay updated on any changes or developments in this area to ensure compliance and avoid any potential legal issues.

Despite these risks and challenges, many individuals are still drawn to the world of crypto gambling. The potential for anonymity, fast transactions, and the excitement of using cutting-edge technology are all factors that attract people to this form of gambling.

Guide to Crypto Gambling in Japan

Crypto casinos are becoming increasingly popular among Japanese players who value privacy and fast transactions. These platforms offer a modern alternative to traditional online gambling sites with unique advantages.

The combination of cryptocurrency technology and online gambling creates an exciting new way to play. Japanese players are embracing this innovation as it aligns well with the country’s tech-forward culture.

Understanding Crypto Casinos

What are crypto casinos?

Crypto casinos are online gambling platforms that accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum as payment methods. Instead of using yen or credit cards, you deposit and withdraw using digital currencies.

These platforms operate entirely on blockchain technology, which provides transparency and security. Every transaction is recorded on a public ledger that cannot be altered or manipulated.

How do they differ from traditional online casinos?

Traditional casinos require bank transfers or credit cards, which can take days to process. Crypto casinos complete transactions in minutes, sometimes even seconds.

Privacy is another major difference between the two types of platforms. Crypto casinos typically require minimal personal information compared to traditional sites that need extensive verification.

The fee structure also varies significantly between these platforms. Crypto casinos usually charge much lower fees since there are no banks or payment processors involved.

Advantages of using cryptocurrencies for gambling

Cryptocurrencies offer anonymity that traditional payment methods simply cannot match. You can play without sharing sensitive banking information with gambling sites.

Transaction speeds are dramatically faster with crypto compared to conventional banking methods. Deposits appear almost instantly, and withdrawals typically process within hours rather than days.

Lower fees mean more money stays in your pocket for actual gambling. Without intermediary banks taking cuts, crypto transactions cost a fraction of traditional payment methods.

Currency conversion becomes unnecessary when using cryptocurrencies at international platforms. This saves Japanese players from losing money on exchange rates and conversion fees.

Legal Status of Crypto Casinos in Japan

Current regulations

Gambling laws in Japan are complex and generally restrictive toward most forms of betting. The country only permits certain types of gambling like horse racing, bicycle racing, and lottery games.

Online casinos, whether crypto-based or traditional, operate in a legal gray area. Japanese law doesn’t explicitly address online gambling, creating uncertainty for players.

Most crypto casinos serving Japanese players are licensed in other jurisdictions. These offshore platforms are not technically legal under Japanese law, but enforcement against individual players is extremely rare.

The government has shown more concern about operators than players. Authorities focus on preventing companies from operating gambling services within Japan rather than prosecuting users.

Licensing requirements

Crypto casinos cannot obtain licenses to operate within Japan itself. Instead, they hold licenses from international gambling authorities in places like Curacao, Malta, or Gibraltar.

Reputable crypto casinos display their licensing information prominently on their websites. These licenses ensure the platform meets certain standards for fairness and security.

Japanese players should look for casinos licensed by recognized authorities. While these licenses don’t make the activity legal in Japan, they provide important player protections.

The licensing jurisdiction can affect how disputes are handled. Choose casinos licensed by authorities known for strict oversight and player-friendly policies.

How We Selected the Best Casinos for Japan

Our selection process involved creating accounts and playing at each casino personally. We tested everything from registration to withdrawal to evaluate the complete player experience.

We deposited real cryptocurrency and played various games to assess performance. This hands-on approach revealed issues that wouldn’t appear in casual browsing.

Customer support was tested multiple times at different hours. We wanted to ensure Japanese players could get help when they needed it.

Withdrawal speeds were measured across multiple transactions. We tracked how long each casino took to process crypto withdrawals.

Security features underwent thorough examination including encryption standards and authentication methods. Only platforms with robust security made our list.

Features to Look for in a Crypto Casino

• Game variety: Look for casinos offering thousands of slots, table games, and live dealer options to prevent boredom
• Security measures: SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and cold storage for funds are essential features
• Bonuses and promotions: Welcome bonuses, reload bonuses, and loyalty programs add significant value to your deposits
• User interface and experience: Mobile-friendly design with intuitive navigation makes playing enjoyable on any device
• Customer support: 24/7 live chat support with knowledgeable agents who can resolve issues quickly
• Provably Fair: Technology that allows you to verify game outcomes weren’t manipulated, ensuring complete transparency

Popular Cryptocurrencies Accepted by UK Casinos

• Bitcoin (BTC): The most widely accepted cryptocurrency with the highest liquidity and recognition
• Ethereum (ETH): Fast transaction speeds and lower fees make it popular for online gambling
• Litecoin (LTC): Offers faster block generation times than Bitcoin for quicker confirmations
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH): Larger block sizes enable faster processing and lower transaction fees
• Ripple (XRP): Near-instant transactions with minimal fees appeal to frequent players
• Dogecoin (DOGE): Low transaction costs make it perfect for smaller bets and casual players
• Tether (USDT): Stablecoin pegged to the US dollar eliminates cryptocurrency price volatility

How to Get Started with Crypto Gambling

Setting up a crypto wallet

Choose between hardware wallets for maximum security or software wallets for convenience. Hardware wallets like Ledger store your crypto offline, protecting against hacks.

Download your chosen wallet from official sources only to avoid malicious software. Fake wallet apps can steal your cryptocurrency, so verify you’re using legitimate applications.

Write down your recovery phrase and store it somewhere safe offline. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if you lose access to your wallet.

Never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone. Casino sites will never ask for this information, so requests for it are always scams.

Purchasing cryptocurrencies

Japanese players can buy crypto through exchanges like bitFlyer, Coincheck, or international platforms like Binance. These platforms let you purchase crypto using yen through bank transfers.

Complete the exchange’s verification process before you can make purchases. This typically involves uploading identification documents and proof of address.

Start with small purchases until you understand how the process works. Cryptocurrency prices fluctuate, so consider making regular small purchases rather than one large investment.

Transfer purchased crypto to your personal wallet rather than leaving it on the exchange. Exchanges can be hacked, and keeping funds in your own wallet provides better security.

Making deposits and withdrawals

Copy your casino’s deposit address carefully or use QR codes to avoid errors. Sending crypto to the wrong address means losing your funds permanently.

Check the minimum and maximum deposit limits before sending cryptocurrency. Some casinos have minimum amounts that might be higher than you expect.

Withdrawals usually require account verification even at crypto casinos. Have identification documents ready in case the casino requests them.

Withdrawal times vary by casino and cryptocurrency but are generally much faster than traditional methods. Most process within a few hours, though some take up to 24 hours.

Responsible Gambling in Crypto Casinos

Setting limits

Most reputable crypto casinos offer tools to set deposit and betting limits. Use these features to control how much you spend on gambling.

Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it no matter what happens. Chasing losses is one of the quickest ways to develop gambling problems.

Time limits are just as important as financial limits when gambling. Set alarms to remind yourself to take breaks and avoid playing for extended periods.

Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Crypto gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.

Self-exclusion options

Many crypto casinos provide self-exclusion features that block your account for a specified period. This tool helps if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.

Self-exclusion periods typically range from one month to permanently closing your account. Choose a timeframe that gives you enough space to regain control.

Some platforms participate in global self-exclusion databases that block you across multiple sites. These services provide more comprehensive protection if you’re struggling.

Contact customer support directly if self-exclusion tools aren’t working or available. Reputable casinos will honor your request to close your account.

Resources for problem gambling

International organizations like Gamblers Anonymous offer support groups and resources in multiple languages. Their 12-step program has helped countless people overcome gambling addiction.

Online counseling services provide confidential help without requiring in-person meetings. This option works well for people who prefer privacy or have scheduling constraints.

The National Council on Problem Gambling operates a helpline with trained counselors. They can provide immediate support and referrals to local resources.

Family and friends can be valuable sources of support when dealing with gambling problems. Don’t hesitate to reach out to trusted people in your life.

Conclusion

We’ve thoroughly tested each crypto casino on our list to ensure Japanese players get safe, enjoyable experiences. Our recommendations represent the best platforms currently available for cryptocurrency gambling.

Every casino featured has proven itself through rigorous testing of games, payments, and customer service. You can confidently choose any option from our list knowing it meets high standards.

Remember to gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose. Crypto casinos offer exciting entertainment when approached with the right mindset.

We wish you the best of luck at the tables and slots. May your crypto gambling experience be both fun and rewarding!

FAQ

Are crypto casinos legal in Japan?

Online gambling exists in a legal gray area in Japan, as laws don’t specifically address it. While the government doesn’t explicitly permit crypto casinos, enforcement against individual players is extremely rare. Most crypto casinos serving Japanese players operate under offshore licenses from jurisdictions like Curacao or Malta. Players should understand they’re using these platforms at their own risk, though prosecution of individual gamblers is virtually unheard of.

What is the best cryptocurrency to use for online gambling?

Bitcoin remains the most widely accepted option and offers excellent liquidity for cashing out. However, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash provide faster transaction times and lower fees for frequent players. Stablecoins like Tether eliminate price volatility concerns if you’re worried about crypto value fluctuations. The best choice depends on your priorities regarding speed, fees, acceptance, and stability.

How long do crypto casino withdrawals take?

Most crypto casinos process withdrawals within 24 hours, with many completing them in just a few hours. Once the casino approves your withdrawal, blockchain confirmation typically takes 10-30 minutes depending on the cryptocurrency. This is dramatically faster than traditional online casinos that can take 3-5 business days. Some casinos offer instant withdrawals for VIP players or smaller amounts.

Do I need to verify my identity at crypto casinos?

Many crypto casinos advertise anonymous gambling, but most still require verification for larger withdrawals. Expect to provide identification documents if you win significant amounts or make multiple withdrawals. Some platforms allow smaller transactions without verification, but anti-money laundering regulations increasingly require identity checks. The verification level varies by casino and transaction size.

Can I use a VPN to access crypto casinos?

Many Japanese players use VPNs to access crypto casinos, though casino terms of service often prohibit this. Using a VPN could result in account closure and forfeited winnings if discovered. Some crypto casinos explicitly allow VPN usage, so check the terms before playing. If anonymity is your goal, look for casinos that don’t restrict VPN access rather than risking violations.

The post 21+ Best Bitcoin & Crypto Casinos & Gambling Sites Japan: Our Top Picks Ranked appeared first on Blockonomi.

The Core Team has finally provided a clear explanation of how stablecoins could be integrated into the broader ecosystem following the major partnership with Open Standard announced last week.

Pi Network made one thing certain: it intends to keep PI as the main cryptocurrency.

PI and Stablecoins

In the new update published earlier this week, the team said stablecoins could support use cases where predictable pricing is particularly important, including commerce, payments, accounting, and settlement. However, their role would be deliberately narrower than that of the native token PI, which is expected to remain the primary digital asset across all network processes.

As we reported at the beginning of the month, Pi Network first announced it would dip its toes in the stablecoin market by exploring reward programs for Pioneers and broader OUSD utility through its new partnership with Open Standard. OS includes more than 200 participants across finance, payments, technology, and crypto.

Pi explained that stablecoins could bring more economic activity inside its ecosystem rather than forcing users to rely on external infrastructure. Nevertheless, the team added that they will approach implementation cautiously, as they are currently working on principles that should govern future integrations and are emphasizing compliance as an important consideration.

Unlike some of the speculations online, the Core Team has not confirmed that OUSD is already integrated on Pi Mainnet. There’s no rollout date confirmation or details of any Pioneer rewards program yet.

Pi Network is exploring how stablecoins can support additional utility across the Pi ecosystem while maintaining a distinct, complementary role to Pi.

Read the new blog in the Pi mining app to learn about:
– Pi’s approach to stablecoins
– How stablecoins may help expand participation within the ecosystem
– Why their implementation requires careful design

And how the OUSD partnership can fit into Pi’s broader stablecoin strategy.

— Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) October 9, 2026

PI Slides

The broader market’s correction over the past few days didn’t spare Pi Network’s native token. The asset traded well above $0.09 until a week ago, but it crashed hard after it lost that support level on October 7. The bears drove it south to $0.078, which became a three-month low.

PI has managed to recover slightly alongside most other major crypto assets, and currently trades above $0.081. Nevertheless, its market cap has plummeted to $915 million, making it the 69th-largest cryptocurrency by that metric on CMC.

The post Pi Network Just Clarified Its Big Stablecoin Plans: Here’s What Pioneers Should Know appeared first on CryptoPotato.

After posting massive gains in September, Ethereum has returned to roughly its price level from a month ago. This comes amidst a broader market correction that has erased more than $110 billion from the total market capitalization of altcoins in the past three days alone. ETH has dropped 10% during this period, wiping more than $38 billion off its market capitalization.

Its reserves on Binance, however, fell to the lowest level in six months.

Shrinking Exchange Reserves

CryptoQuant found that some investors are continuing to move their ETH off trading platforms. The asset’s reserves on Binance fell from 3.57 million to 3.47 million ETH over the period. Back in August, the exchange held around 3.92 million ETH, which means that reserves have dropped nearly 11.5% since then.

Withdrawals have also surged. On October 6, Binance recorded more than 320,000 ETH withdrawal transactions in a single day, which is a record high. Such a trend essentially indicates that investors may be looking to hold their crypto asset in private wallets for longer rather than keeping it on an exchange. Some may also be putting their holdings to work while waiting for a better opportunity to sell.

Meanwhile, Michaël van de Poppe believes that Ethereum’s failed attempt to break higher could still present an “opportunity” for investors and serve as a potentially attractive “entry point.” BATMAN also said that the altcoin may be approaching a point where buyers step back in.

ETH appeared to be testing the lower trendline of a rising channel, while its RSI has fallen to around 23, a level considered to be deeply oversold. If the trendline holds, BATMAN said that there is a possible rebound towards $2,700, with $3,000 next on the radar.

Ted Pillows, on the other hand, flagged that the altcoin is sitting right at its 100-week exponential moving average (EMA), a major level to watch. He warned that a weekly close below this zone could put further pressure on ETH and send its price below $2,400.

Losing Streak Continues

US-listed spot Ethereum ETFs are going through a rough patch after a strong run, as outflows stretched into October. The funds have now recorded eight straight days of outflows. Nearly $580 million has been pulled out so far this month.

While the outflows don’t tell the whole story of the market, they show that appetite for these funds has cooled considerably in recent days.

Licensed EU crypto firms have until early January 2027 to wind down services for stablecoins that fail MiCA, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) said on Thursday.

ESMA set that three-month deadline in an opinion addressed to national supervisors. The opinion covers asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and e-money tokens (EMTs) that do not meet MiCA’s conditions for a lawful offer or trading in the EU. It names no individual token.

Supervisors are told to check whether a firm lets EU clients buy, trade, hold, or add to such tokens. That check spans every service type, from trading platforms and order execution to advice and portfolio management. Firms offering those services should block new purchases by EU clients with technical and contractual controls.

Custody Comes Into Scope

ESMA first addressed non-compliant stablecoins in a statement on January 17, 2025. That statement told trading platforms to stop offering them, with sell-only access allowed until the end of March 2025. It also said mere custody and transfer of those tokens could continue. Binance kept to that timeline and delisted nine non-MiCA stablecoins, including Tether’s USDT, for European users on March 31, 2025.

After that date, Binance users could only sell those stablecoins through its Convert tool.

Thursday’s opinion brings custody and transfers into scope. Both now sit on the list of services supervisors should review. The opinion also rejects investor warnings as a fix. The 2025 statement had asked firms to run awareness campaigns for EU investors. ESMA now says warnings, disclosures and client acknowledgments would not address its concerns.

ESMA’s 2025 guidance turned on whether a service amounted to a public offer of the token. Thursday’s opinion keeps that public offer analysis and adds a second basis. It cites the MiCA duty for licensed firms to act honestly, fairly and professionally in their clients’ best interests. Serving a non-compliant token should be presumed to breach that duty, ESMA said.

Wind-Down Runs to January

Unlicensed firms hit an earlier cutoff this year. On June 23, ESMA told those unlicensed providers to stop onboarding new EU clients ahead of the July 1 end of MiCA’s transition period. By July 21, fewer than 300 of the more than 3,000 firms serving EU crypto clients held a license, according to CASP Tracker.

Thursday’s opinion targets the firms that made the cut. Those not yet in line may keep limited exit services running to avoid harming clients. The services cover selling, conversion, withdrawal, transfer and safekeeping of existing holdings.

Those exit services should not support new purchases, promotion or trading. They should be time-limited, clearly communicated to clients and closely supervised. ESMA itself will monitor, with each national supervisor, how promptly the opinion is applied.

Ripple is moving deeper into Wall Street’s leveraged ETF business, with its prime brokerage arm providing swap financing to funds that use derivatives to amplify bets on stocks and indexes.

A recent Wall Street Journal report shows how the crypto company is entering a fee-heavy part of traditional finance where banks have long dominated, while tighter capital rules are creating room for nonbank firms.

Ripple Takes Aim at Leveraged ETF Financing

Ripple entered the business last year through its $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, now known as Ripple Prime. The platform is already working with ETF providers and is seeking business from other investment managers, including hedge funds.

Additionally, on October 6, Ripple Prime announced its prime brokerage and clearing and financing service for Brevan Howard, which adds yet another hedge fund to the list of clients.

Leveraged ETFs use total return swaps and other derivative instruments in order to amplify the daily changes in individual stocks or indexes. The swap is provided by a bank or broker at a cost, and the risk is then hedged by purchasing the underlying security.

Morningstar Direct data quoted by the WSJ put the number of US leveraged ETFs at 593, with more than $256 billion in assets. Single-stock leveraged funds account for 426 of them, a category regulators first approved in 2022.

Noel Kimmel, president of Ripple Prime, described swap financing as a “growing and meaningful part” of the business. Nonbank firms such as Jane Street and Clear Street are also gaining ground as banks face tighter limits on the amount of risk they can take.

One example shows why the business can generate substantial fees. The Tradr 2X Long SDNK Daily ETF pays Ripple a fee tied to the overnight bank funding rate plus four percentage points. As of October 7, that worked out to roughly 8% of the fund’s assets on an annualized basis.

The Cost Falls on Leveraged ETF Investors

These financing charges are different from management fees and are captured in the net asset value of the fund. In a situation where leveraged ETFs are held by investors over long periods of time, the swaps costs will come together with daily compounding, and market movements will be very expensive for returns.

Swap financing also carries risk for providers. A sufficiently large one-day decline in an underlying stock could wipe out a leveraged ETF’s equity and leave its counterparty facing losses. Providers therefore hedge that exposure through other asset managers or market makers.

As CryptoPotato reported yesterday, Ripple Prime had expanded its relationship with Brevan Howard to include multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing. The move follows Hidden Road’s earlier expansion into US institutional crypto OTC swaps, cross-margining and financing after Ripple acquired the brokerage.

Ripple’s latest push therefore reaches beyond crypto trading and payments, putting its prime brokerage operation into a financing business that has traditionally generated fees for Wall Street firms.

Samsung is teaming up with Solana to allow users in the United States to send money across borders using USDC starting in the last week of October 2026.

The feature will be available through Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay.

Major Mainstream Partner

According to the official press release, the launch will be available across 82 million US Galaxy devices. More markets are expected to follow depending on local regulatory requirements. Solana will run behind the scenes. Users will not need to manage a separate crypto tool to make the transfers. Samsung Wallet will also include integrated fiat on- and off-ramps, which will allow users to convert between local currency and stablecoins within the experience.

The tech giant said the goal is to make stablecoin transfers feel as familiar as other features already available in its wallet.

Woncheol Chai, EVP and Head of the Digital Wallet Team at Samsung Electronics’ Mobile eXperience business, said

“Samsung Wallet is about making useful experiences feel simple and intuitive. Stablecoins have the potential to make moving money around the world faster and easier, and we want Galaxy users to be able to take advantage of that without having to navigate the complexity of traditional crypto tools. Solana helps us bring that experience to Samsung’s scale.”

The partnership also comes as stablecoin activity on Solana continues to grow. Stablecoin supply on the network has increased nearly 20% year over year. Solana has also processed more than $5.25 trillion in stablecoin volume during 2026 alone. Companies such as PayPal and Western Union are already using Solana for stablecoin activity.

The latest development has yet to give SOL’s price much of a boost. The crypto asset was down around 3% over the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, it was trading near $115.

Other Developments

Separately, the Solana Foundation officially joined the x402 Foundation earlier in April as one of the founding members.

The following month, the Swiss non-profit organization and Google Cloud launched Pay.sh, a platform that lets AI agents pay for API services using Solana-based stablecoins. The service removes the need for accounts, API keys, and subscriptions, thereby allowing agents to access services independently while handling payments and billing automatically through the gateway.
