Clearer digital asset regulation, highlighted by this week’s high-profile SEC-CFTC roundtable, could strengthen investor confidence. Or perhaps the SEC will finally remember which end of the coin to regulate. 🤷‍♂️

Following this upswing, HBAR entered a consolidation phase, stabilizing between $0.2144 and $0.2168 before retreating to $0.2131 by midday Sept. 29. The asset found reliable support at that level, subsequently rebounding to $0.2160, highlighting steady demand. Late-session activity saw another bullish burst, with prices climbing from $0.2132 to $0.2164 within an hour-supported by strong volume flows that reinforced momentum, because nothing says “I’m in control” like a liquidity lifeline. 🤞

The company proudly announced its latest acquisition of 196 BTC for a staggering $22.1 million, or approximately $113,048 per coin.

According to a recent press release from Nexo, shared with TopMob, the Anti-Scam Engine is automatically enabled and uses contextual analysis tied to blockchain security integrations. Translation: it’s basically a hyper-aware digital bouncer that spots the bad guys and might throw up a prompt for you to double-check the details before you proceed. How nice of them!

Pray attend, dear reader, for the market’s merry dance is presently eclipsed by the grand occasion of Friday’s U.S. employment figures, which promise to display a modest rise of 39,000 nonfarm payrolls-truly the thermometer by which the vigour of the world’s foremost economy is judged, or at least fretted over. Meanwhile, the long-suffering creditors of the once-promising but now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX-fallen from grace in the scandalous year of 2021-are at last commencing the distribution of a princely sum of $1.6 billion, entering what can only be called a very slow but somewhat welcome third installment of repayments. On a lighter note, that great Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, Arbitrum, finds itself in a most civic-minded vote upon deploying its idling funds to garner rewards, as idle money being truly the devil’s workshop. 😏

Our wise analyst, with eyes sharper than a tax collector’s glare, whispers urgently about momentum brewing in this cryptic brew, imploring, “Begin the pump this instant!” as Floki tiptoes narrowly within a price channel so tight it could make even the Devil himself twitch nervously.

Aster, a decentralized exchange (DEX) that specializes in high-frequency perpetuals trading (I know, sounds fancy, doesn’t it?), has shot to the top of the DeFi earnings charts. Thanks to data from Defillama, we can confirm that Aster pulled in $28.79 million in fees over the past 24 hours, easily outstripping Tether’s $22.21 million. Move over, old timers, there’s a new sheriff in town.

The Americans, never ones to nap at the wheel, launched their own audacious dollar-tethered stablecoin blitz with the GENIUS Act in July, as if money were a game of Monopoly and the prize was the whole board. Now the dragon stirs, threatening to fan those flames and turbocharge the stablecoin frenzy.

Hyperdrive, a lending protocol perched atop the Hyperliquid network, suffered this indignity on a Saturday night-a time when one might expect the world to be sipping tea or perhaps indulging in a novel. Alas, the digital realm knows no rest. Two of its most prized liquidity pools, the Primary USDT0 Market and the Treasury USDT Market, were left as barren as a Russian steppe in winter. 🥶
