The European Union is reviewing MiCA, with related consultations involving the requirement for developers of non-custodial Bitcoin wallets to obtain certification before providing software to the public. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) stated that open-source development, self-custody, automated smart contracts, and permissionless infrastructure should not automatically be considered regulated intermediaries.At the same time, ESMA proposed establishing new regulated services for crypto asset service providers that offer customers access to decentralized protocol services. This review has not changed the current rules, and the European Commission will assess the relevant opinions and submit a review report by June 30, 2027, in accordance with Article 140 of MiCA.

According to Bitcoin.com, the LBTC exchange operation for the Bitcoin sidechain project Liquid Network has been suspended for 35 days. As of October 11, 2026, the project still maintains an 86% support rate; attackers previously exploited a vulnerability in the Elements software to steal nearly 4,000 bitcoins, of which approximately 3,400 have been returned, while the wallet still holds 598.5 bitcoins, valued at 49.69 million dollars.Blockstream rejected the attackers' request for a 10% bounty and demanded the immediate return of the remaining bitcoins. Liquid Network stated that an independent external security audit of Elements v23.3.4 is underway, and the Liquid Federation is synchronizing updates to the PAK list, placing all redemption keys in cold storage.There is currently no specific date for the resumption of redemption operations. Some LBTC holders are migrating funds through applications like Sideswap and Sideshift.ai, with one user stating that due to insufficient liquidity, the migration took several weeks, with a total spread and fees of about 5%.

Cryptocurrency analyst Darkfost stated that currently, above the price level of approximately $83,000, 53% of the invested capital is concentrated. This means that if Bitcoin is purchased at this level, the holding cost will be better than that of more than half of the investors.The range of $84,000 to $85,000 is the largest chip distribution cluster, and many investors react at this critical level, so this range is clearly the core resistance that Bitcoin must break through. Looking below, the range of $79,000 to $77,000 may become a support level. If the price cannot effectively break through $84,000-$85,000, the market may first retest this support area; however, once it stabilizes above the densely concentrated chip area, it means that the cost pressure for most holders has been digested, and the subsequent upward resistance will be significantly reduced.

Crypto trader Killa posted that the most ideal trend for Bitcoin (BTC) currently is to continue rising before the U.S. midterm elections, building a bullish narrative and breaking through previous highs, followed by a pullback after the elections similar to historical cycles. However, this pullback may not form a new cycle low but rather establish higher lows.Killa stated that if BTC experiences a decline before the midterm elections, he believes the market is more likely to rebound to around $95,000 after the elections. Previously, nearly $2 billion in long positions had been liquidated, and there are about 3 weeks left until the U.S. midterm elections. The market may currently be experiencing a "maximum pain" scenario: after some market narratives have been broken, BTC rebounds before the elections, then reverses again putting pressure on traders in the opposite direction, ultimately leading the market to re-engage in risk deleveraging.Killa pointed out that in the past 4 U.S. midterm elections, there were declines in 3 of them 1-2 months after the elections, with historical samples showing a probability of about 75%. However, he mentioned that he still holds a 10x long position in BTC, as well as long positions established earlier at $62,600 and $76,400, and has not reduced his positions.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin stated that U.S. President Trump is not expected to engage in any military conflict before the midterm elections. The diesel trade with Russia is beneficial for Americans, and we will utilize all legal authorities to conduct diesel transactions with Russia.

According to Forbes, Cloudflare announced the acquisition of the JavaScript/TypeScript runtime company Deno. Deno's founder Ryan Dahl (the inventor of Node.js) and co-founder Bert Belder will lead the entire team to join Cloudflare.The core asset of this acquisition is the open-source project celld------a distributed deployment tool that runs Workers and Durable Objects with a single Rust binary file, allowing enterprises to run Cloudflare's serverless programming model on their own infrastructure, fundamentally addressing the long-criticized "lock-in" issue of the Workers platform. Cloudflare plans to merge celld into the open-source runtime workerd to achieve complete self-hosted support.Deno has previously raised $26 million, and the financial terms have not been disclosed.

According to the screenshots of the displayed documentation, attackers can manipulate prices using the Best Bid and Offer (BBO) from the Hyperliquid order book. This risk involves unresolved price manipulation pathways, contract economic mechanisms, risk exposure control, as well as operational protective measures and permission management mechanisms.In addition, Rune also forwarded a tweet from community user boblob, which revealed that two wallets are suspected of actively exploiting "attacks" on the PaperTrade platform, causing a slight fluctuation of about 10-20 basis points in the ETH price on the Hyperliquid platform through trades totaling approximately 20 million dollars. Boblob further added that there are obvious issues with the current PaperTrade protocol that need to be fixed as soon as possible, or it may affect the long-term sustainability of the protocol.

According to South Korean media Dailian, the Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA) has released the "2026 Digital Asset Policy Compilation." Professor Zhao Zaiyu from Hanyang University pointed out that since the ICO ban in 2017, domestic cryptocurrency projects in South Korea have continuously moved their issuance entities and business foundations overseas due to regulatory gaps. The token issuance of Klaytn is handled by a Singaporean entity, and Wemade's WEMIX is also issued by a Singaporean entity. Subsequently, Metabora moved to Dubai, and NeoFin relocated its foundation to Abu Dhabi, with the trend of industry outflow continuing to intensify.Experts indicate that the core obstacles are the regulatory gaps between domestic and foreign issuers and the difficulties in opening corporate bank accounts. They emphasize that "what Korea needs is not looser regulations, but clearer rules," calling for the Digital Asset Basic Law to clarify the licensing standards for issuance, custody, verification, and other business activities, and to establish special procedures for the return of core functions from overseas to the domestic market.
