0/ The week of Oct 12-18 was quiet until the CPI release crashed $BTC to its new October low of $18,299, but the losses quickly recovered.

#BTC went sideways in the rest of the week with a 1% gain, followed by $ETH.

$ADA (-10%) & $XRP (-6%) were the biggest large-cap losers. Image
1/ Both #stocks & #crypto markets saw a flash sell-off after CPI, but quickly bounced back as the Fed's hawkish policy was priced in.

The Fed's plan for a rate hike streak can put more pressure on crypto in the long term. Image
2/ It's a question if we can see the decoupling of cryptos from equities.

Could crypto survive another bearish year if S&P and #NASDAQ were to lose another 10-20% in value, $USD would get even stronger, and investors may move out of risk-on assets?
3/ $HT (+30%) added 70% to its price in the past 30D.

About Capital, the firm that bought @HuobiGlobal stake from its founder Leon Li, is rumored to be majority funded by @justinsuntron.

Sun has also joined #Huobi as an advisor and confirmed holding ~74M tokens. Image
4/ $QNT (+29%) wrote its name in the top 30 coins on @COIN360com by market cap. Its price has been ~x2 over the past 3 months.

$CSPR (+25%) saw 2 distinct waves of fundamental-backed hype push the price up, from the new enterprise-grade #NFT standard to the upcoming Casper 2.0.
5/ $APE (-14%) was below $4.5 after an SEC investigation against @yugalabs.

The probe is to determine if its digital assets are securities and should be treated like stocks and if @apecoin should be considered a security.

$GMT (-12%) has been down 85% from ATH in April 2022, w/ Image
6/ $GST down 99% from ATH. @Stepnofficial denied laying off 100+ contract workers.

$ETHW (-11%) extended its loss since the Merge to 82%. Earlier this month, @EthereumPoW released the first batch of projects in the ecosystem, but trading volumes still plunged due to price drops.
7/ @solana continuously faced headwinds in the bear market, from the outage on Oct 1 to the @mangomarkets hack, which sent its TVL to under $1B for the first time since July 2021.

Notably, #Solana TVL slashed 90% since late 2021, with $SOL down 88% since its ATH on Nov 6, 2021. Image
8/ @AptosFoundation & @SuiNetwork joined the race, but #Aptos was the first to run with its mainnet on Oct 18.

Prior to the launch, Aptos raised millions of dollars at a $4B valuation. But the launch was a mess with dramatic $APT tokenomics & allocations, the controversy around
9/ the entrepreneur Shari Glazer's lawsuit against Aptos CEO, and the listing chaos.

#Sui is expected to build upon the mistakes its competitors made. But it's still early to say anything about the future. Let's see how the 3 teams find their own niche to develop in.

A pretty quiet day for $BTC as it showed lagging performance while so much noise was created in the #crypto space today.

In @coin360com Daily Digest:
2/ Both S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw the green today due to strong earning reports from @GoldmanSachs and the market was waiting for more, but $BTC marked a 0.3% drop.

$740M in #BTC outflow from exchanges on Oct 18 (@cryptoquant_com) didn't seem to push a clear move for the price.

$FXS saw a nearly 18% surge at one point in the past 24h following the expectation about its upcoming liquid staking protocol and $frxETH release.

What's in store for @fraxfinance and what the future holds: A 🧵

0/ 👇
1/ On its way to becoming a "decentralized central bank," @fraxfinance has shipped new innovations to the #crypto-verse.

And $frxETH, a liquid $ETH staking derivative to maximize staking yield and smoothen the @Ethereum staking process, is the latest one to come to life.
2/ $frxETH acts as an $ETH-pegged #stablecoin, but the peg will be "soft" at first and become "tight" after Shanghai withdrawals, according to @samkazemian:

As frxETH can be exchanged 1:1 with ETH, the amount of frxETH in circulation must be equal to the

As a brief spell of excitement after the CPI release faded, $BTC began the week with a small rise.

This was accompanied by a rally in #stocks and a -9.1 Empire State Manufacturing Index, indicating weaker U.S. economic data.

In @COIN360com Daily Digest:
2/ $BTC marked a 2% increase in the past 24h to drive the price above $19,500 after a quiet weekend.

This came after #BTC investment products saw a total $8.8M inflow last week, implying a net neutral sentiment amongst investors as per @coinsharesco: blog.coinshares.com/volume-102-dig…

Like $BTC, altcoins saw a volatile week as a result of big mixed news.

Top 7D gainers by @COIN360com:

@HuobiGlobal $HT
@quant_network $QNT
@Casper_Network $CSPR
@TrustWallet $TWT
@terra_money $USTC
@bitfinex $LEO
@kucoincom $KCS
@ton_blockchain $TON

@HuobiGlobal, again, had an outstanding surge in $HT price after @justinsuntron revealed that he had "tens of millions" #Huobi token stakes following advisory role appointment.

@quant_network representatives joining #Sibos2022 raised hope for a possible #SWIFT partnership. This may be the reason that $QNT saw a nice jump last week.

$MIOTA has been one of the best performers in the @COIN360com top 100 list with a 9.2%% daily gain and 21% weekly gain.

What powered such a price surge in a bleeding market? #IOTA 2.0 with @shimmernet, #Stardust, and more @iota developments.

A 🧵 👇

0/
1/ What is @iota?

A distributed ledger built for the "Internet of Everything" for exchanging value and data between humans and machines.

It uses Tangle, a structure where newer txs verify the older ones, for parallel validation of txs without requiring total ordering.
2/ It offers a network that is:

- Secure: the whole system is distributed across many network participants -> no single point of failure or attack

- Feeless: no txs fees charged, but $MIOTA holders can secure prioritized txs if the network reaches capacity limits

Some cryptocurrencies gave up their gains yesterday as $BTC slid below $19,000, and $DXY took a rally to 112, which is considered negative for #bitcoin price.

In #Coin360 Daily Digest: Image
2/ $BTC failed to break $19,500 today.

It is trading under $18,800 at the time of writing, posting a 1.4% drop in the past 24h. Traders are waiting for Powell's comments at the "Fed Listens" event.
