According to Cointelegraph, Japanese investment and Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet announced a revised capital allocation policy, proposing to invest 10% to 15% of total assets into strategic investments, including mergers and acquisitions and income-generating assets. It also launched a net interest income strategy to allocate capital to income-producing assets, using net interest income to support Bitcoin accumulation and dividend payments. Bitcoin remains its core treasury reserve asset, accounting for 85% to 90% of total assets. The company stated that this move aims to enhance financing capability and credit quality to increase the Bitcoin holdings per share.As this financing model was introduced, shareholders expressed concerns about Metaplanet's governance and complex capital structure. The company released five corrected securities filing documents last Friday, clarifying that CEO Simon Gerovich does not hold a majority voting power in Metaplanet shareholder MMX Ventures.Anonymous shareholder Bitcoin Pharaoh subsequently called for the company to clearly disclose the ownership of MMX Ventures, explain the 23.8% shares registered as indirectly held by Gerovich, and reveal the identities of two unnamed executives who exercised 18.8 million shares from the 10th stock option pool.In early September this year, management faced criticism from shareholders for expanding the 10th executive stock option pool from 46 million shares to nearly 319.5 million shares. On September 11, Metaplanet proposed to reduce the option pool by 41%, decreasing potential shares by 131.3 million to 188.19 million shares, and resetting the conversion ratio from 1:696 to 1:410.

Cryptocurrency trader Ansem posted on platform X, stating that the market has not yet fully priced in the potential of pump.fun to evolve into a similar L1 underlying infrastructure. In the future, other token issuance platforms may be built directly on top of pump.fun.Ansem pointed out that the market currently pays little attention to the creator fee sharing paid to token creators by pump.fun. This amount is close to a 1:1 ratio with the platform's revenue, meaning that for every approximately 500 million dollars in revenue generated by the platform, token creators can receive about 500 million dollars in creator fee sharing after the token completes the bonding curve phase. Therefore, the related teams have strong motivation to continue building products on pump.fun.He believes that this economic structure may be superior to traditional L1, as pump.fun can not only collect fees from various token issuance platforms but also earn fees from every token issued by these platforms. With the introduction of features like custom trading pairs and Callout Rewards, the market may gradually adopt a similar L1 logic for valuing PUMP.Ansem also stated that he is highly optimistic about the investment logic of pump.fun developing into a "super app" in this market cycle.

According to CoinDesk, data from the cryptocurrency recruitment platform CryptoJobsList shows that the number of job postings by cryptocurrency companies in September increased from 382 in July to 1,241, continuing to rise from 886 in August, and surpassing the most active month earlier this year, January, which had 573 postings. The number of companies posting jobs in September rose to 125, up from 107 in July, and briefly dropped to 77 in August.The platform believes that the recovery in hiring in September aligns with the seasonal pattern of business returning to normal after the summer off-season in the Northern Hemisphere, but the data indicates that seasonality is not the only reason: the number of job postings in August had already doubled compared to July, and there was no similar surge from August to September in 2025; the most active month that year, October, had only 373 postings, with data from July to September remaining basically flat.In contrast to the increase in job postings, the number of applications fell from 25,700 in July to 24,631 in August, and further declined to less than 20,000 in September. CryptoJobsList interprets this divergence as a tightening competition for professional talent. Over the past three months, finance has been the largest recruitment category, followed by engineering and trading, with stablecoins, AI, security, and compliance also making the top ten; the most requested blockchain skills are Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
