The DeFi market entered an "interest rate winter" since September 2025, with deposit rates for major stablecoins declining sharply and supply-demand imbalances causing liquidity congestion. The rate decline reflects reduced capital demand and a lack of high-return opportunities. Stablecoin lending demand has dropped significantly, with market risk appetite shifting toward more stable investment channels. In response to this situation, the Sky protocol demonstrates competitiveness and adaptability by introducing real-world assets to enhance yields. The low interest rates during this phase can be viewed as an opportunity for DeFi market transformation.

Whenever the market enters a confusing phase of going nowhere, people try to use a "cutting the boat to seek the sword" method of historical retrospection to predict the next market movement. In such cases, people often see from these theories and charts that history always repeats itself, and seem to automatically overlay and verify future price movements with a certain period in the past.
This coincidence seems to have a magical effect and is often verified. Some bloggers claim this prediction method has an accuracy rate of 75%~80%.
Does this "cutting the boat to seek the sword" style price prediction that repeatedly goes viral on social media help the market identify stages, or is it just packaging noise as prophecy?
From "Tick Fractals" to "History Rhyming"
The peak operation regarding predictions of October 2025 market tops is an analyst named CryptoBullet, who created a method called "ti

Over the past period of time, the hottest topic in the tech and startup circles has not been a major tech company releasing a new model, but rather the nationwide "lobster farming" craze.
On one hand, the "lobster farming" boom has driven business growth in related industries, with large language model companies and cloud server providers making substantial profits. On the other hand, how much actual returns Openclaw can bring to users has become a mystery. While social media is filled with such success stories, upon closer examination, most turn out to be viral fabrications created for engagement.
Lobster farming—does it actually make money? If it does, who exactly is pocketing these earnings?

Ripple launched a stock buyback program, driving valuations to $5 billion, solidifying its position at the forefront of the cryptocurrency industry.

Hong Kong's first batch of "Stablecoin Issuer License" list will be announced next week. The three main applicants are HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and virtual asset platform OSL. This licensing round may favor banks due to their capital strength and regulatory advantages, while OSL possesses rich practical experience. Although rumors suggest the main list is finalized, the actual situation may still change.

BlackRock's "iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB)" had a trading volume of over $15.5 million on its first day of listing, showcasing strong performance and highlighting the potential for institutional capital to flow into Ethereum. ETHB will directly hold Ether and participate in staking; in addition to benefiting from price fluctuations, investors can earn staking rewards, with 82% of the yields distributed to holders on a monthly basis.

A large whale account exchanged tokens on the Aave platform and, due to liquidity depletion and ignoring slippage warnings, ultimately lost $50 million and received only about 327 aEthAAVE. This incident was not caused by a system vulnerability or hacker attack, but was the result of the user confirming and executing the transaction themselves.

Under Middle East geopolitical tensions, Bitcoin faced widespread selling pressure, particularly from retail holders. According to Glassnode data, the market is experiencing heavy selling pressure, with the accumulated trend score declining to 0.04, indicating that retail and small-to-medium investors are reducing their positions significantly. Despite this, Bitcoin's resilience against the decline has surprised market observers.

Quantitative analyst PlanB has proposed the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) prediction model for Bitcoin, projecting that Bitcoin will average $500,000 between 2024 and 2028. Although the current price is around $67,000, PlanB believes now is the optimal time to buy. The S2F model is based on asset scarcity, and its historical predictions have hit their targets multiple times, indicating the market has not yet overheated. However, he also acknowledges the model has blind spots and the need to monitor demand-side dynamics.

CryptoQuant reports indicate that Ethereum faces an "adoption paradox," where despite network activity reaching new highs, the token price has declined. If the bear market continues, Ether could potentially fall to $1,500 by the end of the third quarter. Smart contract activity has risen while decoupling from Ether's price, with exchange inflows being a better reflection of price dynamics. Weak investment demand and continuous capital outflows remain the primary concern.

OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) is an open-source autonomous AI agent tool developed by Peter Steinberger. By early 2026, especially after the name was finalized, it quickly became a sensation and one of the hottest projects in the global AI community.

Mega Bank conducted a practical comparison between stablecoins and traditional banks for cross-border remittances. The results indicate that stablecoins are faster and cheaper for small transfers, but when the amount exceeds approximately $7,000, banks have a significant cost advantage. Stablecoin cross-border remittances are impacted by regulatory restrictions in multiple countries, and real-world application scenarios still require further investigation. Dong Ruibin emphasized that traditional banks possess irreplaceable infrastructure in fund settlement and compliance management.

The Bank of Canada completed the "Project Samara" trial, successfully issuing 100 million CAD in tokenized government bonds, becoming the first case of bonds using distributed ledger technology. Participating institutions include multiple banks, aiming to improve financial market efficiency. The trial demonstrated that blockchain can shorten settlement times but requires overcoming regulatory challenges and exploring integration with existing systems. Financial institutions worldwide are increasingly concerned about tokenized assets, and Canada is also establishing a corresponding regulatory framework.
