The WSJ is working on a story blaming Coinbase and me personally for the CLARITY Act not passing.”　　He then went a step further, accusing the paper of “regurgitating bank lobby talking points” and claiming the Journal “takes direction from bank lobbyists instead of reporting the truth.”　　As of Saturday, the outlet had not published the story Armstrong described, so its actual argument is still unknown.

Bitcoin ETF inflows: Fidelity leads $433M Friday

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds drew $433 million of net inflows on Friday, Sept. 18, according to Farside Investors. The session extended the markets rebound to a second day, but it did not fully repair the withdrawals recorded earlier in the week.　　In the Farside data, Fidelity‘s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, or FBTC, supplied $310.7 million on Friday. That was nearly 2.9 times the $108.4 million added by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, known as IBIT. Bitwise‘s BITB, ARK 21Shares’ ARKB and VanEcks HODL also posted smaller positive flows, giving the session more than one meaningful source of demand.　　The issuer split marked a reversal from the earlier rebound. Mondays return to inflows was led by BlackRock, with Fidelity playing a secondary role. By Friday, Fidelity was the largest contributor while IBIT remained positive.　　Related Reading　　The $63 billion revolving door carrying the entire US Bitcoin ETF market　　Discover more　　Currencies & Foreign Exchange　　FINANCE　　Public Finance　　The broader two-day picture was less decisive.

REX launches 2x leveraged ETF tied to Bitcoin treasury firm Strive

REX Shares and Tuttle Capital Management launched a leveraged ETF that seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of Strive, a publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company and asset manager.　　The T-REX 2X Long ASST Daily Target ETF began trading Friday under the ticker ASSX on Cboe and seeks to deliver 200% of Strives daily share-price performance before fees and expenses.　　The fund resets its leverage daily, meaning returns over periods longer than one trading day can differ significantly from twice the performance of Strive shares. Unlike spot Bitcoin ETFs, ASSX does not hold Bitcoin or seek to track its price, instead providing leveraged exposure to Strive shares.　　According to REX and Tuttle, the firms also offer 2x ETFs linked to Strategy, BitMine, Cipher Mining, Circle and SharpLink.　　Strive currently holds 25,000 Bitcoin, making it the fifth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data. The company financed its latest 469-BTC purchase through sales of SATA, its perpetual preferred stock.　　Strive shares rose 6.4% on Friday to close at $30.09, slightly above the $29.40 average 12-month price target among analysts tracked by S&P Global.Source: Yahoo Finance

Here why AVAX's rally must pass THIS 'structural test' on the charts

Avalanche [AVAX] has exhibited clear bullish tendencies lately. In fact, its most recent daily swing saw the altcoin post a double-digit percentage surge in price, with over 12% gains.　　The rally still remains questionable in terms of sustainability though. Will the uptrend hold when viewed from the lens of the 1-month Liquidation Heatmap？　　Well, the chart revealed that there seemed to be limited to no upside liquidity cluster. On the contrary, there were multiple clusters with strong depth below the press time price.　　Source: CoinGlass　　Clusters measure areas of unfilled orders on the price chart. These levels often act as magnets, pulling the price towards themselves.　　Discover more　　Finance　　Brokerages & Day Trading　　FINANCE　　There are two scenarios likely to happen in the market. The limited to no upside liquidity cluster above the price means that AVAX could depend on momentum to surge further. On the flip side, however, the downward clusters could see the price pulled lower, causing AVAX to lose its recent gains.　　Liquidity clusters leave AVAXs rally vulnerable　　At the time of writing, clear accumulation was still ongoing for AVAX in the market. The Accumulation/Distribution Indicator (A/D) revealed that theres been massive buying as the volume-weighted purchase hit 122 million.　　A hike in accumulation is indicative of where investor

Upbit To Delist ICON (ICX) On October 19

South Korea‘s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, will end trading support for ICON’s ICX token by delisting the ICX/KRW pair on October 19, 2026. The exchange confirmed the move in a trading-support termination notice, completing a review that began in late August when ICX was first designated an investment caution asset over unresolved security risks. The decision removes the tokens main won-denominated market and gives holders a fixed window to exit before support ends.　　Delisting Timeline and Mechanics　　Trading for ICX against the Korean won will stop at 3:00 p.m. Korea Standard Time on October 19, and all outstanding orders will be cancelled once support ends. Upbit also said it will no longer process airdrops, wallet upgrades, migrations, or hard forks for the asset after the deadline, and holders must complete their withdrawals by November 18, 2026. The exchange urged users to settle any pending trades and move assets before those dates to avoid disruption. The sequence mirrors Upbits September decision to end trading support for Synthetix (SNX), another project it had flagged for review.　　Why ICON Is Being Delisted　　Upbit attributed the delisting to security incident risks surrounding ICON that were never resolved. The exchange placed ICX on an investment caution list in late

Kalshi joins Coinbase with filing for US stock perpetual futures

Kalshi has filed to offer perpetual futures tied to individual US stocks, joining Coinbase in a push to bring crypto-style derivatives to traditional equity markets.　　The prediction market filed the proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission and submitted it to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for approval on Friday. The CFTC has yet to approve the proposal.　　The proposed contracts would have no preset expiration date and would use periodic funding payments between long and short positions to keep their prices aligned with the underlying stocks. Kalshi said the contracts would be treated as security futures products and cleared through its CFTC-registered clearinghouse, Kalshi Klear.　　The filing comes the same day Coinbase submitted a separate proposal to offer perpetual futures tied to individual US stocks, as both companies look to bring a derivatives product popular in crypto markets to traditional equities.　　Kalshi already offers perpetual futures tied to cryptocurrencies in the US, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP), after receiving CFTC approval for its Bitcoin perpetual contract in May.　　Related: DoubleZero adds Kalshi election market data ahead of US midterms　　US stock perpetual futures race expands　　Kalshi and Coinbase were not alone in filing to bring single-stock perpetual futures
