This mechanism allocates approximately 90% of the cost-adjusted reserve yield generated from USDC supply to Hyperliquid, which is directed into the Assistance Fund for purchasing HYPE.Following the related developments, the price of HYPE briefly exceeded $95, approaching its all-time high of $97.96.

According to Bitcoin News on X, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed updating digital asset custody rules to allow investment advisers to self-custody when no qualified custodian is willing to custody specific assets, provided they meet requirements such as written assessment, multi-party authorization for transfers, wallet segregation, and security reviews. The proposal also seeks to allow qualifying state-chartered trust companies to serve as qualified custodians for digital assets such as Bitcoin. The proposal does not yet specify approval of any particular digital asset for investment adviser custody; if ultimately passed, Bitcoin could benefit due to its relatively mature existing institutional custody infrastructure.

As previously observed, spot trading volume in the market remains low, so there is not yet any notable spot buying demand at this stage. He believes that spot demand is the key missing factor in the current BTC market trend, and this component is often the last piece to fall into place.
Odaily News: Today, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich published a lengthy post on X stating that Metaplanet completed Bitcoin sales and buybacks in the third quarter.

According to QCP Group's market report, the macro narrative has completely reversed within three weeks, with the consensus for another rate hike in October fully priced out and expectations for a Fed pause intensifying. September US non-farm payrolls increased by just 29,000, significantly below the forecast of 84,000. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, while wage growth decelerated to 3.0% (the lowest pace since May 2021). This soft employment data supports the outlook for an October rate hold, pushing the probability of a hike down to approximately 22%. Bitcoin is currently trading at $86,700, with technical support at $85,000/$83,000 and resistance at $87,200/$90,000; Ethereum is trading at $2,725, with support at $2,650/$2,550 and resistance at $2,735–$2,800. The key event for this week is the release of the FOMC minutes at 2:00 AM Beijing Time on October 8, with markets focusing on whether hawkish dissent emerges and the pricing direction ahead of the CPI data on October 14.
According to Hyperliquid Daily (@HYPERDailyTK), the Bloomberg Terminal now supports users in monitoring Hyperliquid perpetual contract prices around the clock by entering WSL HYPE <GO>, covering multiple asset classes such as cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, and indices. Institutional users can compare Hyperliquid prices with Bloomberg reference prices such as BTC, NVDA, the S&P 500, Brent crude oil, and EUR/USD exchange rates without leaving their existing workflows. While this integration does not currently support trade execution, it marks Hyperliquid's official entry into institutional-grade price reference systems, helping to enhance its market visibility and credibility, and is considered a significant step toward integrating on-chain markets into institutional workflows.
Odaily News: On October 1, the Ethereum Foundation and Open Anonymity Project launched zkAPI on the Ethereum mainnet. The system allows users to pre-deposit ETH, USDC, and other balances, separating billing identity from requests when paying for AI and other usage-based services.After depositing funds, users can authorize payments via zero-knowledge proofs and one-time API keys. Once the server verifies the payment proof, it generates a short-term key with a preset spending cap. AI service providers can receive prompts but will not learn the corresponding payment identity.zkAPI does not hide prompt content, and AI service providers can still read prompts and responses; stable IP addresses, timing patterns, and repetitive behavior may also link user identities. The project's code repository labels zkAPI as an experimental project. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily reports: US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins stated that the SEC will continue advancing regulation of cryptocurrencies and digital securities, and will introduce more rules to ensure the digital asset market stays in the United States.On October 2, Paul Atkins said the SEC's proposed crypto asset custody regulatory framework aims to update rules established in 1940 that only apply to traditional asset custody and safekeeping. The move comes after the US Senate failed to pass the CLARITY Act last month.He noted that the framework is part of the SEC's efforts to build a comprehensive crypto asset regulatory system starting in 2025, following earlier proposals including Regulation Crypto Assets and the Innovation Exemption, the latter of which would establish a 5-year sandbox allowing US equities to be traded on decentralized exchanges and with liquidity providers.John Reed Stark, former head of the SEC's Office of Internet Enforcement, believes the regulatory push exceeds the SEC's authority and bypasses congressional power. Paul Atkins stated that more regulatory proposals are coming and that he will continue to assist President Trump in promoting the US as the global capital of cryptocurrency. (Bitcoin.com News)
