TheDAO Is Back: $220M Security Fund for Ethereum

A decade after the infamous 2016 hack that drained 3.6 million ETH, TheDAO is making a historic comeback.

What's Happening:
TheDAO Security Fund is activating 75,000+ ETH (~$220M) of unclaimed funds dormant since 2016. This will now strengthen Ethereum security.

Key Details:
◉ Fund Size: 75,000+ ETH (~$220M)
◉ Purpose: Security audits, tools, and DeFi protection
◉ Curators: Vitalik Buterin, Taylor Monahan, Alex Van de Sande
◉ Initial Grants: $13.5M for security projects

Why It Matters:
The 2016 hack was Ethereum's darkest moment, forcing a hard fork that created Ethereum Classic. Now that painful history transforms into a defense system against crypto exploits.

Lucky Block (LBLOCK): Healthy Retest Strengthens the Breakout Case

Lucky Block (LBLOCK) is undergoing a natural and healthy retracement following its explosive 7.7% surge, a common technical phenomenon that serves to consolidate gains and establish a stronger foundation.

This pullback represents a critical test of the new support levels and provides an opportunity for the trend to solidify before continuing its upward trajectory.

Solana price risks capitulation below $117 as bearish structure remains intact

Solana price action continues to deteriorate, with the broader market structure remains firmly bearish. Despite brief relief rallies, SOL has consistently failed to regain upside traction, reinforcing the prevailing downtrend.

With price now rotating back toward high-time-frame support at $117, market participants are closely watching this level for signs of either stabilization or failure. Given the lack of bullish participation and the persistence of lower highs, the risk of a capitulation move below support is increasing

Dogecoin faces make-or-break test at MA350 support after October flash crash

Dogecoin consolidates near key support as analysts split between a parabolic upside repeat of past cycles and a deeper bear phase if MA350 support finally breaks.

Summary

Dogecoin has moved in a tight range, trying to reclaim a key technical zone after retesting range lows.​

Bulls cite past cycles, arguing long consolidations near support often preceded sharp parabolic rallies to new highs.​

Bears warn a break of the weekly MA350 could trigger a second bear‑cycle leg toward a Q4 2026 bottom.

Bitcoin short-term holders need liquidity reset as 22% of BTC supply sits in loss

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has identified key metrics that will determine the next phase of Bitcoin (BTC) price growth, according to a recent analysis published by the company.

Bitcoin has experienced a downward trend, with price increases proving unsustainable due to insufficient buying liquidity, according to market data. After Bitcoin maintained its support range in recent weeks, market attention has shifted to liquidity conditions, Glassnode reported.

Glassnode shows long-term BTC holders selling

The firm stated that a meaningful trend reversal and uptrend in Bitcoin requires a recovery in market liquidity. For a sustainable upward trend, the profit/loss ratio must remain above a certain level of its 90-day moving average, according to the analysis.

Drawing on historical data, Glassnode reported that strong price recoveries, including mid-cycle rebounds in the last two years, only occurred when the profit/loss ratio remained above 5. A ratio above 5 indicates consistently renewed liquidity inflows and a return of capital to Bitcoin, according to the firm. The current rate stands at approximately 2, well below the threshold identified by Glassnode.

The analytics firm also identified Bitcoin’s supply structure as a source of pressure. Glassnode estimates that approximately 22% of the circulating Bitcoin supply is currently at a loss, a level similar to correction phases seen in the first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2018. This increases the risk of a correction and could reignite selling pressure if Bitcoin fails to hold key support levels, according to analysts.

Why The Markets Wiped Out Trillions Today

Everything was going well until the US market opened.

$BTC started to dump first, and then everything went downhill.

In the next hour:

Gold dumped 8% and erased $3.1 trillion.
Silver dumped 12% and erased $700 billion.
S&P 500 dumped 1.3% and erased $800 billion.
Crypto market cap erased $110 billion.

In a span of one hour, over $5 trillion was wiped out from these assets.

This is equivalent to the GDP of Russia and Canada combined.

But what triggered this?

For gold and silver, leverage was the biggest trigger.

Retail FOMOed at the top, and they got wiped out in an hour.

For crypto and stocks, US-Iran escalation was the trigger.

USS Abraham Lincoln has gone dark, which signals possible preparation for action against Iran.

Overall, today’s event is something that will be remembered for a long time.

Chatgpt Developers OpenAI Issues Statement, WLD Coin Price Surges

ACccording to breaking news, OpenAI is developing a social media platform and evaluating eye scanning or Face ID options for user authentication; this could utilize World’s ($WLD) Orb technology or Apple’s Face ID technology.

White House To Meet Crypto, Banking Executives To Discuss Market Structure Bill

The White House will meet with representatives from crypto companies and traditional banks in the coming days to work on stablecoin yield concerns in the crypto market structure bill, according to individuals familiar with the matter.

The legislation, which was delayed earlier this month, has hit resistance over how it proposes regulating stablecoin rewards — particularly provisions that could limit interest-bearing or reward-linked features tied to the dollar-pegged tokens. Banks have opposed letting stablecoin issuers or their exchange partners offer rewards, warning it risks deposit flight. The crypto industry has said offering these rewards will benefit end users.

Peter Schiff says: “We are headed for an economic crisis that will make the 2008 financial crisis seem like a Sunday school picnic.”

Fed Dynamics

Popular Candidate Supports Bitcoin Over Gold

Fed Chair frontrunner Rick Rieder publicly states that Bitcoin will surpass gold as a store of value and recommends investors allocate to this asset.

Key points: Rieder's prediction probability rises to 46%, having forecasted Bitcoin's superiority over gold in 2020; recently criticized Fed's slow rate cuts, aligning with Trump's views.

Market impact: This statement strengthens the legitimacy of crypto assets, potentially driving more institutional capital into the digital currency space and boosting market sentiment.

1xBit Launches Platform 2.0 with Redesigned Interface and Unlimited Crypto Accounts

Cryptocurrency betting platform eliminates account restrictions while expanding multi-blockchain support

1xBit launched Platform 2.0, bringing major improvements to its cryptocurrency deposit system and removing the five-account limit that previously restricted users.

No More Account Limits

The biggest change removes the old five-account restriction. Now there are no limits – users can create unlimited crypto accounts across all supported currencies and blockchain networks.

This matters because serious bettors often want separate accounts for different strategies. Platform 2.0 removes those artificial barriers.

Simpler Deposits with Cashier 2.0

The new Cashier 2.0 makes deposits much easier. The previous interface mixed currencies across different blockchain networks in a single list, creating navigation complexity. The updated architecture separates currency selection from network selection, reducing deposit completion time and eliminating interface redundancy. The system instantly generates a QR code and deposit address. 

Gold hits $5,300 as Tether stacks bullion and Coinbase pushes futures

Spot gold climbed above $5,300 per ounce on Wednesday, posting a record high of $5,311 at 3:30 am UTC, according to TradingView data.

Amid the rally, Tether, issuer of USDt, the world’s largest stablecoin, doubled down on its gold accumulation.

The contrasting strategies show the different ways crypto companies are positioning themselves as gold booms and Bitcoin continues to lag, trading below $90,000, according to CoinGecko.

Tether hoards 130 tons of gold, aiming to become a “gold central bank”

Tether, which also issues the gold-backed stablecoin XAUt (XAUT), has been accumulating gold as part of its reserves for some time, reporting $12 billion in exposure as of September 2025.

The company holds 520,089 troy ounces of gold for XAUT — roughly 16.2 metric tons — separately from a broader reserve of 130 metric tons, worth around $22 billion at current prices.

“Tether maintains approximately 130 metric tons of physical gold, and the gold backing every XAUT token is held separately, making it eligible for physical delivery redemption,” a spokesperson for Tether told Cointelegraph.
