Bitcoin companies are learning that holding forever takes cash

Metaplanet sold 10,000 BTC and bought back 11,000 at a higher average price to show it was willing to sell its Bitcoin.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $83,087.24 24-hour change: up 0.45% Loading price history… 24H Up 0.45% 7D Down 2.29% 30D Up 7.55%　　The Japanese treasury company was pursuing a credit rating and better access to financing, and its Oct. 5 disclosure explained why turning coins into cash was part of that effort. Prospective creditors needed confidence that management could use its holdings to meet obligations, even if shareholders bought into the company because of those holdings.　　Proving the point was expensive, with Metaplanet receiving ¥124.7 billion from the sale and spending ¥149.9 billion on the subsequent purchase, paying roughly 9.3% more per coin.　　Related Company Metaplanet A publicly traded company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange　　Applying that average purchase price to the 10,000 coins replaced produces a price difference of about ¥11.57 billion, before transaction costs and potential tax effects. That gives shareholders an expensive receipt for the demonstration.　　The company didnt use the proceeds to repay borrowings or bonds, and it ended September with 44,000 BTC.

Dogecoin Spot Flows Drop 599% in Week as Whales Readjust Strategy

Dogecoin (DOGE) had a sharp drop in spot flows this past week as the broader crypto market pulled back.　　Dogecoin registered a 7-day spot net flow percentage of -599.50%, with spot outflows exceeding inflows, data from CoinGlass showed. The last seven days spot inflows were $480.96 million and spot outflows were $538.16 million.　　A drop in spot flow, especially for exchanges, could indicate a dearth of coins being deposited on trading venues. On the other hand, an increase in spot outflows might suggest investors are withdrawing their coins into cold storage, a bullish signal.　　Owing to a weeklong drop in crypto prices, this might be the case as whales or large holders seek to buy at a discount.　　Dogecoin fell for four days at a stretch amid a forced unwind following a leverage buildup in the broader market. Altcoins had a strong run into late September with significant leverage building up along the way.　　Dogecoin sharply fell to a low of $0.081 on October 8 as investors weighed macroeconomic concerns before rebounding.　　Expectations for Q4 recovery remain　　On the one-year anniversary of the 10/10 flash crash, which resulted in the largest liquidation event in crypto history, Dogecoin is currently trading in the green at $0.086.　　After registering a

The chief investment officer of Maelstrom, a crypto investment firm, outlined his bull-market argument on X on Oct. 8. He co-founded Bitmex, a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange.　　Hayes compared today‘s AI anxiety with Bitcoin’s block-size disputes, the pandemic, and the aftermath of FTX‘s collapse amid rising interest rates. The 2017 disagreement concerned how much transaction data Bitcoin blocks should hold. He described this year’s anxiety as FUD, the industry abbreviation for fear, uncertainty, and doubt.　　The forecast builds on his earlier argument that government efforts to manage borrowing costs can support digital assets. In an Aug. 24 essay, Hayes contended that expanding dollar liquidity could flow into bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. His framework emphasizes financial

Bitcoin Could Reach $30 Trillion Like Gold, Bitwise CIO Says

Bitcoin could grow into a $30 trillion asset by following gold‘s expansion, Bitwise’s investment chief suggests. He points to expanding institutional access while warning that investor behavior could determine who benefits from long-term gains.　　Key TakeawaysBitwises CIO sees substantial potential gains over a 10-year horizon.Hougan compares bitcoin with golds rise from roughly $2.5 trillion.He identifies investor behavior as bitcoins biggest investment risk.　　Golds Rise Offers a $30 Trillion Bitcoin Comparison　　Bitcoin could follow gold into a much larger market as institutional ownership expands, according to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of Bitwise Asset Management. In an Oct. 9 post on X, he reinforced his comparison between gold and bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches while sharing a video clip posted by media outlet Simply Bitcoin.　　The remarks contrasted gold‘s estimated $2 trillion to $2.5 trillion market capitalization when the first U.S. gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) launched in 2004 with its subsequent expansion to roughly $30 trillion.

BTCPay Docker users must opt into Tor at their next update to keep onion access

Operators running the Bitcoin payment software BTCPay Server through its standard Docker deployment must explicitly select Tor at their next setup or update if they want to retain onion access. The change removes Tor from the automatically included components, making a previously bundled service an administrators configuration choice.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $82,948.73 24-hour change: up 0.66% Loading price history… 24H Up 0.66% 7D Down 2.35% 30D Up 7.48%　　BTCPay detailed the deployment change in its Oct. 5 announcement accompanying version 2.4.5. The official GitHub release page records the software release on Oct. 6. For existing installations, the relevant trigger is their next Docker setup or update.　　The change matters to Docker operators who rely on Tor, including access through their servers onion address, but previously received it through the core BTCPay Server fragment. Fragments are the configuration components used to assemble the Docker stack.　　BTCPay advises administrators to review the deployment changes before updating. After updating to 2.4.5, its instruction for enabling Tor is:　　sudo btcpay-fragments add opt-add-tor　　Tor remains supported, and BTCPay says existing data stays in the current Tor volumes. That preserves stored data; continued onion access still depends on including and running Tor in the deployment.　　BTCPay Server documentation describes the

Veteran Trader Gives Critical Warning for Gold Price

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has warned that gold price could face a sharp decline after spotting a bearish pattern on its weekly chart. 　　The pattern, known as head-and-shoulders, often appears when an assets strong rally begins to lose momentum. It forms three peaks, with the middle one being the highest.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Gold Price Chart Points to a Major Risk　　Brandts chart suggests that gold could fall toward $2,890 if it breaks below the key $4,100–$4,200 support zone. Such a move would signal that sellers are gaining control.　　However, he stressed that the chart is not a price forecast, and the decline is far from certain. Continued gold purchases by Chinas central bank could also help support prices.　　This is NOT a prediction, but stranger things have happened over my five decades$GC_F $XAU pic.twitter.com/cEM0xN6VqM　　— The Factor Report (@PeterLBrandt) October 9, 2026　　That level sits far below current prices, so the move would be dramatic. Traders often wait for a close below the neckline before acting.　　Investors should weigh the chart against broader market conditions rather than rely on one pattern alone. That approach matters because markets rarely follow textbook patterns.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Can Chinas buying offset a deeper gold correction？　　Gold traded near $4,194 an ounce on October 10, about 22% below

Newer AI models missed more payment fraud in Coinbases benchmark

Coinbase reported Oct. 7 that newer versions of three major AI model families caught fewer fraudulent payments and a smaller share of fraud value in a historical test of payment screening for its Onramp service, despite an unchanged decision policy. The findings challenge the assumption that upgrading a model improves an existing payment screener.　　The companys evaluation replayed 16,140 transactions across 7,293 users, including 813 confirmed fraudulent transactions. The cohort covered nine weeks before its risk agent rolled out, retaining all matured fraud cases while sampling legitimate traffic.　　Each candidate reviewed recent transaction behavior under fixed guidance and the same policy for turning risk classifications into decisions. This isolated the decision models behavior within that setup, rather than comparing redesigned screening systems.　　Related Company Coinbase A leading digital currency company　　Results from a fixed historical replay　　Coinbase compared Opus 4.5 with Opus 5, Sonnet 4.6 with Sonnet 5, and GPT-5.4 with GPT-5.6 (sol). Every newer version had lower recall, a lower combined precision-and-recall score called F1, and lower dollar-weighted recall. Recall measures the share of fraud cases a model catches; dollar-weighted recall measures how much of the total fraud value it catches.　　Sonnet‘s recall fell 22.2 percentage points and its dollar-weighted recall dropped 22.9 points.

In briefThe CFTC issued two measures Friday: a proposed rule expanding the “swap” definition to include event contracts , and an interim final rule excluding casino-style gambling like sportsbooks and casino games.Chairman Michael Selig said event contracts are “commodity derivatives squarely within the CFTCs regulatory remit” and under its “exclusive jurisdiction,” while “casino-style gambling products are not derivatives.”The rules formalize proposals sent to the White House last month, as the agency asserts authority amid state lawsuits and a Supreme Court fight.　　The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is pressing its claim over prediction markets, issuing a pair of measures Friday that would formally define event contracts as “swaps” under federal law while carving out traditional gambling.　　The first, a proposed rule opened for public comment, would expressly expand the definition of “swap” to include event contracts, including those tied to sports, politics, cultural events and weather.　　Myriad: Who wins the midterm elections？ Click to make your prediction.　　The CFTC said the contracts are financial instruments “commonly known to the trade as swaps” and that the move resolves any ambiguity about their status. “These products are commodity derivatives squarely within the CFTC‘s regulatory remit under the Commodity Exchange Act and are within the agency’s exclusive jurisdiction,”
