veteran trader Peter Brandt stated that his long-term ETH chart shows that if ETH breaks above $5,000, the price could eventually rise to $8,600. The higher target marked on the chart is $8,674.50.Brandt emphasized that publishing a chart or making a price judgment is not the same as an actual trade, and those claiming to have completed a trade need to provide proof of the trade. His commodity trading career began in 1976, and he founded Factor Trading Co. in 1980. (Bitcoin News)

Odaily News: The European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) stated in a joint risk update that advances in quantum computing could weaken the cryptographic systems that secure blockchain transactions, communications, and database security.In March, Google Quantum AI researchers estimated that the number of physical qubits required to break the cryptographic techniques used by many cryptocurrencies may be about 20 times fewer than previously estimated. A computer capable of carrying out such an attack does not yet exist.In February, Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and others proposed phasing out current signature schemes and restricting how unmigrated funds can be used five years after the proposal's activation. The proposal has not yet been adopted. The Ethereum Foundation plans to make Ethereum's execution, consensus, and data layers quantum-resistant by December 2029. (Cointelegraph)
Aave founder Stani posted on X to clarify views regarding Aave V4, stating that the Hub and Spoke in V4 are isolated by default based on risk profiles, but markets with similar risk can share liquidity through the Hub and increase capital utilization and capital efficiency within set limits. Stani said that completely isolating liquidity could lead to capital fragmentation, reduced utilization, and higher user costs.Stani also stated that V4 has attracted approximately $1.2 billion in deposits and is deployed across multiple networks including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Arc, while also supporting third-party curators such as EtherFi. The V4 codebase is significantly smaller than Aave V3, and Spoke can directly use the Hub's liquidity without needing to build up liquidity from scratch like traditional curated vaults.
Odaily News: A person familiar with the matter revealed that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating Kalshi for suspected wash trading. Since August, Kalshi traders have executed nearly 1 million trades in the Ethereum futures market, with each trade being almost identical in size, drawing the attention of federal regulators and traders. Kalshi stated that there is no fake trading on the platform, and that the recurring quotes are fixed quotes posted by market makers, which faster traders seize upon. Kalshi co-founder Luana Lopes Lara said that attracting large traders to new markets to promote broader adoption is not uncommon.
Odaily reports: DeFi protocols Camelot and Cypher have announced their integration under a new brand, Frontier, focused on building programmable market infrastructure based on the Uniswap v4 Hooks mechanism. Together, the two had previously processed over $100 billion in spot trading volume across Arbitrum and Ethereum, and supported the launch of more than 45 projects; 15% of the total supply of Frontier's token FRONT will be allocated to holders of both parties, and GRAIL, xGRAIL, CYPH, and xCYPH holders can migrate within 30 days. Frontier has already launched on Robinhood Chain, with plans to expand to Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum, while Camelot and Cypher will gradually cease independent operations.
Wintermute released its weekly market report, as the Federal Reserve voted unanimously 12-0 on September 21 to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%. Sixteen officials project at least one more rate hike this year, with inflation not expected to return to the 2% target until 2029. Two key catalysts previously monitored by the market—the FOMC rate decision and the CLARITY Act—have both materialized: the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate (49-50 vote, falling short of the 60-vote threshold), prompting the SEC and CFTC to immediately state that they would establish crypto regulatory frameworks under their current authority. The market adjusted for only a single trading session before reclaiming its losses. BTC traded between $75,000 and $81,000 this week, closing at $81,159—the first time since last November it has breached the 50-week moving average; ETH gained 6.7%, trading in the $2,350–$2,600 range. Regarding ETF capital flows, net outflows totaled $746 million from Tuesday to Wednesday, partially reversed by $593 million in inflows from Thursday to Friday, resulting in a five-day net outflow of approximately $6 million. Outflows triggered by the CLARITY Act were nearly fully offset within 48 hours. At the start of this week, both BTC and ETH broke above the range resistance ahead of the U.S. equity market open. Fueled by approximately $250 million in short liquidations, BTC briefly surged to $86,000, setting an eight-month high. Wintermute’s analysis suggests:
Odaily reports: Prediction marketplace Trueo plans to migrate from Base to Ethereum, stating that Ethereum's mainnet can provide broader integration opportunities and product development space. Trueo launched on Base in March 2025.After the migration is complete, Trueo will prioritize attracting liquidity and launch a next-generation oracle system for verifying real-world outcomes and settling prediction markets. Trueo stated that integration on Base was primarily limited to its own ecosystem.Trueo co-founder Lumberg said Ethereum is suitable for building a credibly neutral oracle system and prediction marketplace. According to DefiLlama data, Trueo is currently the 14th-ranked platform by total value locked among on-chain prediction markets, with approximately $795,700 in TVL. (Cointelegraph)
Decentralized prediction market Trueo announced its migration from the Base network to the Ethereum mainnet, with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressing his appreciation: "It's great to see a new strong contender emerging for prediction markets on the Ethereum mainnet." The project is committed to decentralization, upholds ethical principles, rejects corporate bloat, and seeks to conduct interesting and meaningful explorations by utilizing prediction markets as an economic primitive.
Prediction market protocol Trueo announced it will migrate from Base to Ethereum mainnet to leverage Ethereum's liquidity, ecosystem integration capabilities, and decentralized infrastructure, while advancing a next-generation oracle system. During the migration, the Base version will continue normal trading, resolution, and redemption; existing markets will remain unaffected. The project team advises users not to create new markets on Base expiring after January 31, 2027.
