Market-Moving News

This isn't about watching charts tick up and down.

These are the moves that show where money is flowing, where governments are tightening their grip, and where opportunity still breaks through the noise.

If you want to stay ahead of the next wave instead of chasing it, here's what really matters this week.

Markets

Bitcoin Recovers Above $112K as Bulls Eye Q4

Bitcoin bounced back to $112,000 on Monday, erasing most of last week's sharp losses. The recovery was fueled by weekend buying pressure that lifted the entire market.

Altcoins followed Bitcoin higher, sparking $354 million in liquidations for overleveraged traders. Total crypto market capitalization is now flirting with the $4 trillion mark.

CME futures and options data showed a $4.33 billion drop in open interest last week.

Analysts said this "clean-up" in leverage may have cleared the runway for new bullish momentum.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US also posted outflows tied to quarter-end rebalancing. QCP Capital stressed this wasn't a weakness but rather a structural repositioning before Q4.

Perpetual traders seem to agree, with open interest growing from $42.8 billion to $43.6 billion. Positive funding rates suggest traders are once again leaning long.

Historically, Q4 has delivered Bitcoin's strongest returns, with a median gain of 52%. With the halving narrative approaching, sentiment is shifting toward optimism.

Take: Bitcoin's resilience after a bruising liquidation shows that dips are still being bought.

For you, it's a reminder that volatility often clears out weak hands before stronger moves—and Q4 has historically been fertile ground for bulls.

Stablecoins

USDT and USDC Dominate $46B in Quarterly Stablecoin Inflows

Stablecoin inflows exploded to $45.6 billion in Q3, up from $10.8 billion in Q2. Demand for dollar-pegged assets is running hot across the crypto ecosystem.

Tether's USDT led with $19.6 billion in new issuance. Circle's USDC followed with $12.3 billion, a massive rebound from its muted Q2 performance.

Ethena's synthetic USDe emerged as the breakout, attracting $9 billion in inflows. Smaller players like PayPal USD and MakerDAO's USDS added more than $1 billion each.

Ethereum remains the top network for stablecoins, hosting $171 billion in supply. Tron holds second place with $76 billion, while Solana, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain trail with $29.7 billion combined.

USDT controls nearly 59% of the market, with USDC at 25% and USDe grabbing close to 5%. The overall stablecoin market cap has now swelled to $290 billion.

Still, activity data isn't all bullish. Monthly active addresses fell 22.6%, and transfer volume dipped 11% to $3.17 trillion.

Take: Stablecoin demand is rising even as on-chain activity cools. For you, it signals that traders want dollar stability in volatile markets—positioning stablecoins as the backbone of crypto liquidity.

Poland Pushes Strict Crypto Bill Amid Backlash

Poland's parliament approved the Crypto-Asset Market Act, sending it to the Senate for review. The law aligns with the EU's MiCA framework but adds tough local restrictions.

The bill creates a licensing regime for exchanges, issuers, and custodians. All providers—foreign or domestic—must apply through the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF).

Applicants must disclose their structure, compliance systems, and AML controls. Violations could mean fines up to $2.8 million or even two years in prison.

Critics warn the law could devastate Poland's three million crypto users. Opposition lawmakers call it the most restrictive crypto law in the EU.

Industry voices also flagged the KNF's slow approval process, which averages 30 months. That could leave companies in limbo despite a six-month transition period.

President Karol Nawrocki campaigned on pro-crypto promises earlier this year. Supporters now expect him to soften or veto the harshest provisions.

Take: Poland's move highlights the friction between EU-wide rules and national overreach.

For you, it's a reminder that regulation can vary sharply by country—and where laws turn restrictive, capital and innovation often flow elsewhere.

Crypto Know-How: What Is Consensys?

Consensys is one of the biggest builders in the Ethereum ecosystem. Think of it as a toolkit factory that creates apps, infrastructure, and services that make Ethereum easier to use.

Its best-known product is MetaMask, the crypto wallet millions of people use to buy, swap, and store tokens.

If you've ever connected to a DeFi app or minted an NFT, there's a good chance MetaMask was your entry point.

Consensys also develops Infura, which provides the backend plumbing that lets developers run apps on Ethereum without building their own servers.

It powers much of Web3 behind the scenes, even if you never see it.

For you, Consensys is the quiet giant making Ethereum more usable for both developers and everyday traders.

Without its tools, Web3 would feel a lot more complicated—and its role keeps growing as blockchain adoption scales.

• AllUnity's EURAU euro stablecoin is going mainstream through a partnership with Stripe's Privy, letting businesses embed digital euro wallets directly into apps.

• October is shaping up as "ETF month" with the SEC set to rule on 16 spot crypto ETFs tied to coins like Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and even Dogecoin.

• Jump Crypto has proposed removing Solana's fixed block limits, aiming to speed up the network but raising concerns over potential validator centralization.
