Ethereum Staking Hits a New Record Ethereum (@ethereum) staking reached an all-time high of 43.8 million $ETH, according to Bitwise’s (@Bitwise) Q3 report. This represents 35.9% of the total supply. Net inflows added 1.99 million ETH during the quarter, marking six consecutive quarters of growth. However, staking yields fell to 2.63%, down from 2.81%. Meanwhile, Solana (@solana) $SOL ended Q3 with 69% of its supply staked, the highest share among the networks covered by Bitwise.

Cardano founder building a brand-new programming language! @Cardano founder @IOHK_Charles subtly shared that he is personally developing an all-new programming language for $ADA. Though very little has yet been revealed, Hoskinson did share that the new language is "the first of its kind, enabling intents and PCD via Groth16 proofs" and it is being co-developed by @rvcas.

All-new solana:HZ1JovNiVvGrGNiiYvEozEVgZ58xaU3RKwX8eACQBCt3 powered perps DEX goes live. @popdex_, a new perps DEX that emphasises a trader-first approach, launched its official Open Beta phase on October 19. Two things that make the platform interesting... (1) The DEX is powered by @PythNetwork's Pyth Pro. The 2025-launched institutional-grade, subscription-based market data service. (2) PopDEX' MegaPop Rewards Program, which implements an on-chain, weekly stablecoin reward system for traders, seeded initially with 150,000 $USDT.

American banks offering exposure to $PENGU?! @SoFi, the US-based online bank with nearly 16M users... ... is now offering its users buy/sell/hold functionality for @pudgypenguins' native token. Unlike basically any other NFT franchise, Pudgy Penguins has not only survived the collapse of the NFT sector - it now appears stronger than ever.

XRP's new X account hit 100K in 6.5 hours?! We've never seen an @X account grow faster than that of @XRP's new page (as managed by @Ripple itself). According to @jacqmelinek, it took only 6.5 hours from her posting the question "how fast can the new $XRP account hit 100k followers" for it to hit the milestone. The XRP Army is still strong in 2026...

Coinbase adds 3 new tokens to listings roadmap. @Coinbase's @CoinbaseAssets has announced three new leading altcoins being added to the CEX's official listings roadmap. (1) $AXIS @axisrobotics (invested by @PiCoreTeam $PI Ventures) (2) $PEARL @prlnet (3) $STABLE @Stable For these projects, crypto's #1# most sought after exchange listing is just inches away. You bullish?

Spot $NEAR ETF won't stop growing. @Bitwise's spot @NEARProtocol has had one of the best starts of any crypto ETF in history. Since launching late last month, the product has seen $88.5M in cumulative net inflows. In fact, it has seen only two days without net inflows and not a single day of outflows...

A look at Quant Network's OTHER partnerships. @quantnetwork has dominated investor attention since announcing a partnership with @TCHtweets just a few weeks ago. But that's not the only big name it has collaborated with... (1) @Oracle: Announced way back in late 2021, the partnership has seen $QNT benefit from Oracle's expertise in product and marketing. For context, Oracle is the world’s largest database management company. (2) Murex: Announced more recently in March 2026, the partnership was designed to see Quant-driven tokenized deposits and digital bond settlement embedded directly into Murex’s MX.3 capital markets and its flows. (3) @USTglobal: Dating back to 2022, this partnership was designed to combine Quant’s core blockchain middleware with UST's enterprise capabilities, thereby accelerating the institutional adoption of crypto and digital assets. This is just a selection by the way.

Something is happening with LTC ... The performance of Canary's spot @litecoin ETF has shocked the industry since mid-September. Until then, inflows to the product had been sporadic at best. Now, the ETF seems to be taking on a whole new life. Demand from investors has been strong, the product seeing 7 inflow days in the past month. In the month prior, there were only 2-3. The @LTCFoundation is cooking.

Wrapped ETH arrives on Canton Network as Temple lists BitSafe’s BETH @temple_ny, a trading platform on @CantonNetwork, has listed BETH, a wrapped version of ETH issued by BitSafe (@BitSafe_Finance). It’s Temple’s first wrapped ETH product, and its BETH-USDCx market lets institutions move between ETH and dollar liquidity. To get BETH, users deposit $ETH on the Ethereum network. To get their ETH back, they burn the BETH on Canton. BitSafe already issues CBTC, the first 1:1-backed wrapped Bitcoin on Canton.

NEAR Intents doubled its monthly volume in Q3 @near_intents handled $10.41B in volume in Q3, up 67% from Q2, according to the latest staking report from @Bitwise. Monthly volume rose from $2.4B in July to $4.8B in September, and quarterly fees reached $14.43M. Confidential Intents, its private trading environment, grew TVL from $28.6M to $160.9M over the quarter. On the staking side, about 46% of $NEAR supply was staked at a gross yield of 4.87%.

Avalanche runs three blockchains at once, and each one has a different job Avalanche (@avax) splits its main network, called the Primary Network, across the C-Chain, the P-Chain, and the X-Chain. The C-Chain is EVM-compatible, so apps built for Ethereum can run there. Since September’s Helicon upgrade, the network can lock in the order of new blocks while still running the transactions in earlier ones. The P-Chain tracks validators, handles staking and the launch of new Avalanche chains. The X-Chain is where tokens are created and traded, including $AVAX. All three chains charge fees in AVAX, and each chain keeps separate balances, so AVAX has to be moved over before it can be used on another chain.

Ondo Finance tokenized stocks land on Jumper across four chains More than 450 tokenized US stocks and ETFs from @Ondo are now live on @jumperapp, the cross-chain trading app launched by @lifiprotocol. Users can access them on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and HyperEVM. Each token is backed by real shares held with US-registered broker-dealers. LIFI first opened Ondo’s stocks to its partner apps in June.

Alchemy puts $1M behind teams building on Arc @Alchemy, which provides the servers and tools apps use to connect to blockchains, is offering eligible teams building on @arc up to $10K in credits for its services. The credits go straight into a team’s Alchemy account and cover a 90-day trial period. The program targets teams bringing an existing app to Arc, moving their setup onto Alchemy or building their first USDC payment flow. Arc, the blockchain from @circle, opened its public mainnet on September 16 and uses $USDC to pay network fees.

Worldcoin posts the biggest daily gain in the top 100 $WLD rose about 15% over the past 24 hours to around $0.58, up from roughly $0.51. Trading volume nearly doubled to about $599M, more than a quarter of the token’s $2.21B market value. @worldnetwork's token had been roughly flat for the week before today’s move, leaving it up about 12% over seven days. It now ranks No. 40 by marketcap.

XRP arrives on NEAR Protocol’s app with privacy switched on from day one @NEARProtocol added $XRP to near.​com, its all-in-one crypto app. Users can deposit XRP straight from the XRP Ledger, swap it for other assets, and use it to pay. @XRP transactions are confidential by default, keeping sender addresses, amounts, and routing off public $NEAR explorers. The recipient gets the funds without seeing the sender’s address or wallet history, while @near_intents, its system for swapping assets across chains, handles routing.

Tokens moving across chains with Chainlink CCIP will earn bigger borrowing limits on Kamino After a security review, @kamino said assets that move between chains using @chainlink CCIP will qualify for higher deposit caps and loan-to-value ratios, meaning users can borrow more against them. The Solana lending protocol pointed to CCIP’s default setup, where 16 independent node operators verify each cross-chain transfer. Tokens whose issuers set up their own cross-chain checks face heavier review, lower caps and, in some cases, rejection or delisting. Kamino also said it can already pause markets for some cross-chain assets on Solana when it spots warning signs such as unbacked supply.

Aster DEX and BNB Chain put up to $70,000 on the table for bStocks traders @Aster_DEX and @BNBCHAIN are running a competition until October 31 for traders of bStocks, the tokenized US stocks from @bstocksfinance. Spot traders of five bStocks, including Nvidia, Circle, and Strategy, share up to $50,000 in $NVDAB, with the pool growing from $10,000 to $50,000 as total volume passes $50M and $100M. A further $20,000 in $ASTER goes to users who post at least $500 in bStocks as collateral for perps and reach $5,000 in perp volume, capped at $50 each. Entrants must register and switch off Account Privacy, and their wallets and trading volumes will be shown publicly.
