• GAIB

1. GAIB Launches AI Dollar (AID) & sAID — Unlocking Onchain AI Economies

AI Dollar (AID) and yield-bearing sAID are live on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain. Deposit USDC/USDT 1:1 via aid.gaib.ai to join the tokenized AI & Robotics infrastructure revolution.

• AID: ERC-20 synthetic dollar, fully backed by U.S. Treasuries — your gateway to GAIB’s AI portfolio and DeFi base currency.
• sAID: Stake AID for liquid staking in an ERC-4626 vault of AI/Robotics financings (GPUs, robotics, etc.), earning yield from real-world deals. Omnichain via LayerZero OFT.

Get AID via direct deposits or DEX secondary markets. Stake for sAID to capture infrastructure growth (Ethereum-only at launch; multi-chain Q4 2025). Redemption live Nov 21.

• Quai Network

1. QUAI Network teams up with zebec for real-world $quai payments

QUAI Network, a sharded evm-compatible blockchain with over 200,000 tps powered by proof-of-entropy-minima (poem) consensus, has partnered with zebec to enable everyday spending of its $quai token. integrating with zebec’s decentralized payment infrastructure, users can load $quai onto mastercard-compatible silver, carbon, or a custom quai-branded black card for fee-free purchases at retailers and online, streamlining real-time transactions. supported by coinbase ventures and circle, zebec’s payroll and depin tools enhance quai’s stable $qi energy dollar, boosting apps like kipper and blippay to drive crypto’s practical use in defi, socialfi, and nfts.

2. Quai Network’s SOAP: Transforming PoW Economics Through Subsidized Buys

Quai Network is launching SOAP (Subsidized Open-market Acquisition Protocol) — a merge-mining evolution that redirects subsidy chain rewards to buy $QUAI tokens on the open market, then burns them or streams as deferred incentives to lockers. This offsets mining sell pressure with guaranteed daily buy flow, fostering net-positive volume even with modest non-mercenary hash, while bootstrapping TVL through high initial APYs (e.g., ~1,460% at $500K TVL for $20K daily buys) tapering to sustainable ~30% at $24M TVL. By accepting shares from diverse algorithms like scrypt and SHA-256, SOAP diversifies hardware participation and scales security without disrupting block timing, benefiting miners with stacked earnings and no workflow changes.

Set for testnet October 2–9, 2025, and mainnet activation October 16–23, SOAP creates a virtuous cycle: stronger buys boost price and hashrate, attracting more subsidy flows into Quai’s energy-based system. With $QUAI as gas/utility token and $QI as stable energy dollar, this enhances liquidity for DeFi, SocialFi, and NFTs, positioning Quai as a scalable PoW leader amid its 2025 ecosystem surge including Zebec IRL payments.

• Injective

1. Injective Launches Native EVM Mainnet — The Future of Onchain Finance

Injective’s biggest upgrade is live: a native EVM layer now powers seamless apps across EVM and WebAssembly (WASM) with shared liquidity, assets, and tools.

• For Users: More dApps, faster trades (0.64s blocks), near-zero fees (~$0.00008), and instant access to lending, RWAs, derivatives, and more.
• For Developers: Build with Ethereum tools (Hardhat, Foundry) + Injective’s plug-and-play finance modules. Launch with instant institutional liquidity via CLOB.
• For Institutions: Tokenize RWAs fast, tap deep liquidity, and scale onchain strategies.

30+ dApps launch day-one. No silos. No bridging. No cold starts.

MultiVM Token Standard (MTS) keeps tokens unified across the ecosystem. Solana VM support coming soon.

The Injective Flywheel: More apps → more users → more liquidity → more innovation.

Backed by Google Cloud, Binance Labs, and top Web3 players.

• Pyth

1. B2C2 Joins Pyth Network: Bringing Institutional Liquidity Data Onchain

B2C2, a top crypto-native liquidity provider, has joined Pyth Network as the newest institutional data contributor, sharing proprietary pricing directly to enhance real-time, onchain market feeds.

• Fixing Fragmented Data: Traditional crypto pricing is siloed, delayed, and costly due to aggregators. Pyth cuts through with direct, first-party feeds from 125+ providers like Jane Street and Jump Trading — now including B2C2’s deep OTC and derivatives liquidity.
• Pyth’s Power: Delivers 2,000+ live feeds (crypto, equities, FX, commodities) to 600+ dApps on 100+ chains, with millisecond updates for precise DeFi apps.
• B2C2’s Edge: Global leader bridging TradFi and crypto, offering executable prices from real trades to banks, funds, and exchanges — fueling transparent blockchain innovation.

• Portal to Bitcoin

1. Portal to Bitcoin: Notary Chain Explorer Launches — Bitcoin’s Cross-Chain Financial Layer

The Portal to Bitcoin Explorer is now live, offering the first look into the Notary Chain — the coordination layer powering real-time, secure settlements across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other ecosystems. Think of it as Bitcoin’s on-chain notary office: verifying, timestamping, and protecting multi-chain activity with full transparency.

Built on Bitscalar, the stack delivers institutional-grade infrastructure:

• Settlement Layer — Uses Hash Time Locked Contracts (HTLCs) for atomic swaps. Trades either fully settle or automatically revert, eliminating counterparty risk.
• Notary Chain — Provides an immutable, auditable record of all cross-chain actions, ensuring compliance and trust.
• Exection Layer — Powered by ADMM (Automated Dynamic Market Maker), enabling custody-free liquidity provision with real yield.

$PTB is the native gas token. Every transaction — from new perps, RWAs, or tokenized stocks — burns $PTB. More assets mean more activity, driving demand and creating a powerful token sink. Future Bitscalar products will also require $PTB, expanding its utility across the ecosystem.

• XION

1. XION Joins Blockchain for Good Alliance: Proof Over Promises in Web3 for Social Impact

Global trust is crumbling — 70% fear government misinformation, 69% doubt journalists, and tech trust is plummeting per the 2025 Edelman Barometer. Enter XION, the walletless L1 blockchain built for verifiable truth, now partnering with the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA) — founded by Bybit and tied to the UN Development Programme (UNDP) — to swap blind faith for cryptographic proof in tackling UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Trust Crisis and Why Blockchain Matters
Digital systems demand verifiability amid opaque AI, data silos, and stalled SDG progress (only 15% of targets on track). BGA counters this by convening builders, governments, and NGOs for solutions in climate tracking, microfinance, humanitarian aid, and digital IDs — replacing intermediaries with immutable ledgers.

XION’s Power-Up: Global Impact Accelerator (GIA)
XION brings its abstraction tech (email logins, USDC gas, no wallets needed) to fuel GIA, a joint fund incubating SDG-aligned startups. Kicks off with $100K for 3 projects per cycle — think transparent remittances in Kenya or verifiable aid in Asia — offering funding, mentorship, and open-source frameworks. All on XION for seamless, trustless scaling.

XION team hits the BGA Awards in Copenhagen this November to brainstorm pilots. Backed by Emurgo Labs, Stellar, FLock.io, and Sui, this alliance turns blockchain from hype to humanity.

Proof as the New Public Good
“Proof is the new public good,” says XION — making verification invisible so anyone builds impact without gatekeepers. With 4M+ onboarded users and pilots from Uber to Nike, XION + BGA scales what works: transparent, accountable systems for a fairer world.

2. XION Teams Up with AWS and WRTH to Tackle E-Commerce’s $467B Counterfeit Crisis

Counterfeits aren’t just a headache — they’re a $467B global trade killer (2.3% of imports), projected to hit $1.79T by 2030, outpacing legit growth 3.6x. E-commerce’s speed amplifies the issue: 90% of U.S. seizures now hit mail/express channels, and Amazon alone nuked 8M+ fake listings in 2024. The fix? XION’s new partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and WRTH embeds blockchain verification right into transactions, making authenticity a seamless, built-in perk.

The Infrastructure Play
This isn’t after-the-fact policing — it’s proactive plumbing. AWS handles massive-scale cloud processing. XION delivers decentralized, tamper-proof records for inventory and authenticity proofs. WRTH weaves it all into user-friendly commerce flows.

Sellers crypto-sign genuineness; buyers verify instantly. Real-time pricing checks flag fakes via market norms. Result: Zero marginal cost for legit verifs, sky-high hurdles for fraudsters. No full platform overhauls needed — just plug into Web2/Web3 hybrids.

XION’s walletless L1 (email/USDC logins, 4M+ users) powers this at scale, bridging enterprise ease with onchain trust. From Uber pilots to luxury drops, it’s verification without the hassle.

This alliance flips the script on info asymmetry, safeguarding brands, buyers, and platforms. Digital commerce, now fraud-proof.

👉Market Recap

Bitcoin October Insight

October 2025 shattered Bitcoin’s “Uptober” myth — the first red October since 2018. BTC hit an all-time high of $126,000 early in the month, only to plunge 18% to $104,782 mid-month, triggering $19.37 billion in liquidations — the largest single-day wipeout on record. Yet, some analysts see this as a “historic bottom accumulation” signal, forecasting a Q4 rebound. Here are the key insights, organized by category.

Price & Market Dynamics

• Boom-to-Bust Swing: BTC surged to $126,000 on Oct 6, fueled by record $5.95B in global crypto ETF inflows and Trump-era policy tailwinds. A “black swan” U.S.-China trade war scare on Oct 10–11 triggered cascading liquidations, pushing BTC below $100,000. The month closed down 3.6%–15%, ending around $110,000 with the Fear & Greed Index repeatedly hitting “extreme fear.”
• Volume Surge: Spot trading topped $300B (Binance alone: $174B), signaling organic institutional and retail demand — not just leverage. Futures open interest hit $855B, hinting at heightened volatility ahead.
• X Sentiment: Retail group chats turned “despairing,” with many rotating out of BTC — a classic contrarian buy signal: “When everyone gives up, it bounces.”

Macro & Regulatory Drivers

• Fed & Trade War: A widely expected 0.25% rate cut on Oct 29 failed to lift markets; Powell’s hawkish tone (no December cut) amplified the sell-off. Trump’s 100% China tariff threats reignited trade war fears, crushing risk assets.
• France’s Crypto Bill: On Oct 28, lawmakers advanced a bill to create a national BTC reserve (420,000 BTC), exempt stablecoin payments under €200 from tax, and recognize BTC as loan collateral — a potential catalyst for European institutional adoption.
• Geopolitical Cycles: History shows geopolitical shocks (e.g., 2024 Israel-Palestine) trigger short-term panic followed by multi-month rallies. Cycle analysts predict this bull’s peak in Nov–Dec, lasting 1,064 days total.

Tech & Network Upgrades

• Bitcoin Core v30: Launched in October, removing the 80-byte OP_RETURN limit to enable 4MB data storage — boosting scalability but sparking a soft fork proposal (Oct 29) to cap arbitrary data and prevent chain bloat.
• Quantum Security Alert: A Nov 11 advisory (reflecting Oct concerns) warned Taproot wallets are vulnerable to quantum attacks — urging migration to SegWit.
• Wyckoff Re-accumulation: X analysts see BTC in Wyckoff Phase B–D. If $95K–$100K support holds, Q4 could target $120K–$150K.

Institutional & Adoption Trends

• ETFs & Miners: U.S. BTC ETFs saw $477M net inflows on Oct 21; ETH ETFs added $141M. VanEck forecasts BTC could hit $644K if it captures half of gold’s market share. Mining stocks (CIFR, BITF) rebounded, helping BTC reclaim $123K.
• MicroStrategy Earnings: Q3 unrealized gains hit $3.9B, but buying paused. CME’s new QBTC/QETH futures gained traction; Solana/XRP futures hit ATHs.
• Gold-to-BTC Rotation: As gold pulled back, BTC rallied — signaling capital flowing into “digital gold.

ETH October Insight

October 2025 was a tale of two halves for Ethereum (ETH): an early rally fueled by ETF optimism and institutional demand, followed by a mid-month pullback mirroring broader crypto turbulence. ETH started strong, breaking above $4,700, but dipped to $3,800 amid U.S.-China trade fears and liquidity squeezes. It closed the month down 7% around $4,100, with the Fear & Greed Index dipping into “fear” territory. Despite this, on-chain metrics shone — stablecoin supply hit an all-time high, and ETH overtook Solana in revenue for the first time since September 2024. Analysts view it as a “healthy retest,” setting up Q4 upside to $5,000+. Key insights below, categorized for clarity.

Price & Market Dynamics

• Rally and Reversal: ETH surged past $4,700 in early October on $570M ETF inflows and whale accumulation, but a “black swan” trade war scare on Oct 10–11 triggered a 20%+ drop to $3,436. By Oct 14, it rebounded 20% to $4,200–$4,300, stabilizing near $4,100 by month-end — a 7% overall decline. Volatility hit 18% over 7 days, with RSI at 48–56 signaling neutral momentum.
• Volume & Liquidity Surge: 24-hour volume jumped 38% to $1.85B, with stablecoin transactions reaching $2.82T — an all-time high indicating tokenized finance dominance. Exchange supply hit a 9-year low, hinting at HODLing, while futures open interest rose despite the dip.
• X Sentiment: Community buzzed with “shakeout complete” narratives — posts called the dip a “25bps cut gift” before breakout. Contrarian takes: “Chop till Oct 15–20, then squeeze to $5K.” Retail rotated cautiously, but whales added 800K+ ETH daily.

Macro & Regulatory Drivers

• Fed & Global Tensions: A 0.25% rate cut on Oct 29 offered brief relief, but hawkish Fed signals (no December cut) and Trump’s 100% China tariffs amplified risk-off moves. ETH’s Nasdaq correlation (0.87) exposed it to equity sell-offs.
• ETF & Stablecoin Boom: U.S. ETH ETFs pulled $1.8B in July (extending into Oct), with $3.4B in direct asset tokenization (DATCO) purchases. Stablecoins on ETH hit $314B supply (+83% YoY), dominating 60% of the market and generating fees that turned deflationary post-EIP-1559.
• Policy Tailwinds: France’s crypto bill (Oct 28) eyed ETH for collateral; U.S. clarity on non-security status boosted sentiment. CFTC’s Dec leveraged trading launch could spike volatility, but SEC nods aid adoption.

Tech & Network Upgrades

• Fusaka & Scaling: Proto-Danksharding (EIP-4844) testnets stabilized, cutting L2 fees 95% and boosting blob utilization to 99.2%. Daily unique addresses hit 687K (3-year high), with L2 TVL at $12.3B across 47 rollups — transactions exceeded 45M daily.
• Staking & Yield: 32M ETH staked (APY 3.2%, $28.9B total), with restaking via EigenLayer up 61% QoQ to 4.4M ETH. Shanghai upgrade held firm — no forced exits — and MEV burns extracted $847M this cycle.
• Technical Patterns: Wyckoff re-accumulation eyed, with supports at $3,250–$3,600 and resistance at $4,300–$4,500. EMA20/50 hold signals mid-trend recovery; a close above $3,600 confirms upside.

Institutional & Adoption Trends

• Whales & Inflows: Institutions hold $13B+, with 34% of inflows from big players. REX-Osprey’s ETH staking ETF (Sep 25) and Grayscale’s activation (Oct 6) drove adoption; whales added amid dips.
• DeFi & RWAs: TVL hit $114.9B (+38% Q3), with Pendle up 72% and Ethena’s USDe at $14B (+202%). Rollups like Arbitrum/Base/zkSync dominate, embedding ETH as collateral.
• ETH/BTC Flip Potential: Posts hyped a 2017/2021-style breakout from the downtrend, with ETH/BTC eyeing 0.05+. Stablecoin dominance (over Solana) and $2.8T on-chain volume signal rotation.
