Bitcoin News posted on platform X, stating that as the Clarity Act is stalled, regulators are independently formulating rules for the digital asset market based on existing authorities. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has solicited opinions on a framework for retail digital asset trading, which includes a new category of "crypto asset market" exchanges, with the comment period ending on December 14.The comment period for the Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets will close on October 20. The pace at which regulators are crafting rules is faster than congressional legislation, but the relevant rules may face challenges in court or be rescinded by future commissions; a lasting regulatory framework still requires legislation.

According to CoinDesk, France has narrowly passed a cryptocurrency tax amendment, proposing to impose a 31.4% capital gains tax on transactions exchanging crypto assets for stablecoins starting from January 2027.However, the amendment still needs to be approved by the French Senate and go through the budget coordination process before it can officially become law.

The weekly change in ADP employment in the United States for the week ending October 3 was an increase of 18,500 people, compared to the previous value of 24,750 people.

Further analysis reveals that the activities of whales (large holders) are weakening. The 90-day moving average of whale outflows for XRP has dropped to $4.97 million, the lowest level since October 2021. CryptoQuant believes that this lack of whale interest may indicate that large investors are waiting for more advantageous buying prices, thus delaying the increase of their market exposure. From a long-term perspective, this suggests that XRP may lack buying support in the absence of whale backing.In a broader market context, the investor group for Bitcoin (BTC) also showed signs of retreat in October. According to a report by Glassnode, Bitcoin's realized profit-loss ratio fell from 0.8 to 0.4, a decrease of 50%. This change indicates that market participants are shifting from aggressive trading to a more stable sentiment, reducing profit-taking activities and reflecting a shift in market sentiment.

According to four informed sources, the Bank of Japan may raise its inflation outlook for the next fiscal year in the forecasts to be released this month, as rising oil prices are exerting more persistent price pressures on the economy than expected.Sources said that given that the Bank of Japan just raised interest rates last month, it is expected to maintain interest rates at the two-day policy meeting ending on October 30, unless the yen exchange rate falls significantly again, which would raise import costs and overall inflation levels.Sources indicated that the Bank of Japan may continue to emphasize the growing inflation risks in the quarterly report released after the meeting, leaving room for another rate hike as early as December. One of the sources pointed out that the increase in consumer prices may last longer than expected, although underlying inflation has not changed significantly. Two other sources also expressed the same view.

On Friday, the French National Assembly passed Amendment I-3898 with 38 votes in favor, 37 against, and 25 abstentions, proposing to tax certain cryptocurrency exchanges for stablecoin transactions. If the relevant provisions are approved, they are expected to take effect from 2027. This measure will change the way capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies is calculated, meaning that when investors exchange Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for stablecoins, the related gains may trigger taxation even if they have not been converted into fiat currency.The French National Assembly is scheduled to vote on the first part of the "2027 Finance Bill" on Tuesday. A proposal to carry forward realized cryptocurrency losses for 10 years was rejected by the assembly on Friday with 18 votes in favor, 75 against, and 3 abstentions. French lawmakers are also reviewing two cryptocurrency tax proposals: I-CF1822 aims to expand the exit tax to unrealized gains, applicable to taxpayers whose total cryptocurrency portfolio value exceeds 800,000 euros and who move their residence out of France; I-2701 proposes to require the declaration of holdings from self-custody wallets, with a threshold of total value exceeding 100,000 euros for the relevant tax year. Both proposals are still under review as of Monday.

CryptoQuant's latest analysis indicates that while Bitcoin has support, the recovery process is uneven. First, regarding exchange reserves, it has risen from about 2.67 million BTC at the beginning of October to about 2.68 million BTC, still far below January levels. Low reserves do not mean that supply is continuously shrinking; transfers may reflect custody changes, and the increase itself does not prove selling pressure. Secondly, the recovery of spot demand has been hindered, with 30-day spot demand once approaching zero before turning negative again. Perpetual contract demand is positive, supporting overall demand.Finally, the behavior of whales is diverging. Addresses holding 100 to 1,000 BTC have still net accumulated over the past 60 days, but this is below the peak at the end of September; the group holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC has seen a net decrease approaching zero; and the group holding over 10,000 BTC is negative. Accumulation is not fully underway. CryptoQuant believes that conditions still exist to support Bitcoin's bottoming out. For a solid recovery to occur, sustained spot demand support is needed, buyers must be able to absorb the BTC flowing back to exchanges, and accumulation behavior should spread to more holding groups. Market expectations regarding the U.S. midterm elections and monetary policy must translate into actual buying behavior. The key is whether price increases can attract a growing and lasting group of buyers.

The Zakura team, which operates the Zcash network, released a technical article stating that they plan to allocate a unique viewing key for each ZEC exchange completed through NEAR Intents, in order to block future quantum computers from exploiting public refund addresses to piece together user payment histories. NEAR Intents supports cross-chain token exchanges, and when users exchange the privacy coin ZEC for USDC, the service will publish a Zcash address for the user on the NEAR public blockchain, which will be used to return any unused ZEC.The Zcash address contains a public key generated by the wallet's viewing key, which cannot be reverse-engineered by ordinary computers, but large quantum computers running Shor's algorithm could theoretically deduce the key from the address. Zcash wallets can generate multiple seemingly unrelated addresses, but they typically share the same viewing key. Once an attacker cracks it, they can associate all payments received by the account and read the amounts and notes. Zakura's solution allocates a unique viewing key for each exchange, while the spending key remains in the user's main account. Even if the future refund address is compromised, the attacker would only be able to see payments related to that specific exchange.This design also addresses a practical issue: wallets conducting hundreds of exchanges would generate hundreds of keys, requiring each key to scan the entire Zcash chain during backup recovery. Zakura's solution is a privately queryable database that uses private information retrieval technology, so when the wallet inquires about the refund destination, the database will not know the address being queried. Zakura claims that wallets built on its open-source library (including Vizor) will be able to add this feature in the coming weeks, and hardware wallets will follow after firmware support, ahead of the January quantum-resistant payment target set by Zcash developers this month.
