According to official website information, the fully on-chain synthetic perpetual trading platform Papertrade deployed on HyperEVM went live for 1 hour, with a cumulative nominal trading volume exceeding 80 billion USD. Data shows that the cumulative trading losses of platform users reached 4.73 million USD.According to official documentation, the issuance model of the Papertrade token PAPER is such that for every 1 USD lost by platform users, the protocol mints a certain amount of PAPER according to a curve. When the LP balance is below 2 million USD, the minting ratio is fixed at 100 PAPER for every 1 USD lost; currently, due to the LP scale exceeding 2 million USD, PAPER emissions have entered a decay mode.Papertrade reads prices from the Hyperliquid order book BBO mid-price, with users directly trading against the protocol LP as the counterparty, rather than through traditional order book matching. The protocol supports high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding rates.

According to Decrypt, the French National Assembly's Finance Committee passed two cryptocurrency tax amendments this week: starting from January 1, 2027, exchanges of stablecoins regulated by MiCA will be considered taxable sales; and a departure tax will be imposed on tax households relocating overseas with a total value of cryptocurrency assets exceeding 800,000 euros.The committee rejected the budget revenue portion with a vote of 31 to 3, and the full National Assembly will review the original text from the government. The aforementioned amendments will not be automatically included; supporters must reintroduce them during the debate starting on October 13, with a formal vote scheduled for October 20.The related measures have not yet become law. The stablecoin amendment was proposed by left-wing GDR party member Nicolas Sansu and 16 co-signers, applicable to electronic money tokens as defined by MiCA. The amendment does not set a new tax rate but aims to include the related revenue under France's existing unified tax system of 31.4%.The committee also passed an amendment proposed by Daniel Labaronne, allowing investors to carry forward cryptocurrency asset losses for 10 years to offset future gains. The proposed departure tax applies to taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least 6 of the past 10 years and whose cryptocurrency assets, including custodial assets, have a total value exceeding 800,000 euros.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, the Chairman of the Financial Services Commission, Lee Ik-yeon, stated that the provisions regarding the shareholding restrictions for major shareholders of virtual asset exchanges in the ongoing "Digital Asset Basic Law" are not influenced by specific individuals, but rather consider the need for exchanges to bear higher public responsibilities after institutionalization.Lee Ik-yeon mentioned during the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee Financial Committee's national governance inspection that currently, South Korean virtual asset exchanges operate under a system of updating declarations every three years. However, after the implementation of the "Digital Asset Basic Law," exchanges will transition to a licensed institutional operation model. He noted that exchanges have infrastructure attributes, thus requiring public nature and responsibility that match their status.Previously, South Korean lawmakers questioned why the original proposal from the Financial Services Commission did not include shareholding restrictions for major shareholders, whether the relevant provisions were influenced by external factors, and pointed out that if enforced, major shareholders and potential acquirers of South Korean exchanges might need to sell shares worth trillions of Korean won.In response, Lee Ik-yeon stated that the government is currently drafting relevant legislation, and the specific content of the shareholding restrictions can be further coordinated during the National Assembly review process, emphasizing that all opinions will be fully reflected in the design. He also mentioned that the government proposal for the "Digital Asset Basic Law" is undergoing final coordination and will be submitted as soon as possible, although no specific timeline has been announced.

HyperEVM perpetual contract exchange Papertrade is scheduled to open trading at 10 AM Eastern Time on October 10. According to DefiLlama data, it has accumulated approximately $85.3 million in deposits before its launch. The platform supports up to 1000x leverage, and traders do not match with counterparties but trade directly with the protocol's own liquidity pool. Papertrade stated in the announcement that website trading will start after the HyperEVM upgrade is completed, and deposits will be paused at 9:45 AM to prioritize trading; users need to deposit in advance to participate in the launch.The contracts on Papertrade use the midpoint of Hyperliquid's optimal buy and sell prices as the opening and closing price, with positions being synthetic trades against its liquidity pool, and there are no corresponding perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid. This design eliminates funding rates and reduces profits from closing positions through asymmetric impact discounts instead of charging fees based on position size. When the liquidity pool cannot cover profitable trades, unpaid profits will convert to queued debt, filled by subsequent traders' losses. Its PAPER token grants losing traders the right to claim related earnings from the liquidity pool, with an initial supply of zero, minted from realized losses, with no team or venture capital shares.In the initial phase of the launch, Papertrade will only open trading through the frontend and approved trading relays, and direct access to public contracts will not be supported. Platform administrators can pause new positions, freeze the market, and adjust fee parameters, with a 7-day time lock for contract upgrades. Initially, the PAPER token will only support staking and unstaking, and wallet-to-wallet transfers will not be supported;

The Malaysian hardware wallet distributor CryptoBilis has been revealed to have changed ownership during the investigation into a suspected supply chain attack on Ledger devices. Newly disclosed company records show that an individual named Jiaming, with a registered address in Heilongjiang Province, China, has held 100% of the company's shares since August 3.The former co-founder of CryptoBilis confirmed that the company was acquired in March of this year, and the original shareholders subsequently withdrew from all operational, management, and administrative positions. The founding team has been unable to understand the actual operations of the company after the handover, only continuing to assist with some activity coordination, and stated that they are no longer part of the company, urging the current management to handle the matter transparently.As the change in ownership was exposed, CryptoBilis has come under scrutiny for its alleged involvement in the supply chain attack on Ledger hardware wallets, with related devices reportedly implanted with hidden modules capable of stealing recovery phrases. There is currently no conclusive evidence linking the change in ownership to the wallet theft incident. CryptoBilis has temporarily suspended sales and shipments of all brand hardware wallets at its stores and online channels in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, and has closed offline stores until further notice.

On October 9, reports indicated that the significant increase in storage chip costs has forced Apple to raise prices and suppress demand. Apple has requested some suppliers to reduce the production of recently released iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max components. A journalist verified with an Apple supply chain company, where a representative stated that after Apple provided new shipping guidance, orders for the iPhone 18 Pro decreased, while orders for the iPhone 18 Pro Max increased, resulting in little overall change in order volume.Another supply chain representative mentioned that the rumors are clearly one-sided. Due to strong demand for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple adjusted some iPhone 18 Pro orders to the iPhone 18 Pro Max, with the total not decreasing, which benefits the high-end supply chain for the Pro Max. In September, Apple released the iPhone 18 Pro series, and due to product planning adjustments, the basic model of the iPhone 18 has not yet been launched. The starting prices for the two models released this time are 9,999 yuan and 10,999 yuan, which is an increase compared to the iPhone 17 Pro series.During the initial sales in mid-September, a journalist observed outside the official Apple retail store in Shenzhen that the buyback market for the iPhone 18 Pro was relatively weak, with some scalpers not purchasing, and even the buyback price was lower than the official starting price. Currently, the supply of the iPhone 18 Pro is relatively sufficient, with staff indicating that only the black version of the 512GB model is in stock, while other memory versions have ample supply. The iPhone 18 Pro Max has not yet been made available for purchase offline.

Zhao Changpeng issued a reminder for Ledger hardware wallet users to remain vigilant, especially those who have purchased devices recently. According to the information currently available, this incident appears to be limited to the supply chain, involving a supplier, and a few users may have purchased counterfeit or tampered Ledger devices.Zhao Changpeng stated that Ledger is a well-established and relatively secure hardware wallet brand in the industry, but such incidents can still occur. He anticipates and calls for the BNB ecosystem and the entire cryptocurrency industry to assist in tracking the stolen funds and promoting recovery.Previously, Ledger confirmed that it is investigating an asset theft incident involving Southeast Asian users, who had purchased devices through the distributor CryptoBilis. Ledger has requested CryptoBilis to suspend sales and shipments and advised users who purchased devices through this distributor in the past 90 days not to initialize their devices; if they have already completed the setup, they should create a new Ledger signing device using a new mnemonic phrase and transfer their assets to the new wallet.On-chain investigator Specter estimates that this incident has led to the theft of hundreds of wallets on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON networks, with losses exceeding 86 million dollars. Security researcher tanuki42 previously estimated the losses to be over 72 million dollars and stated that the amount is still increasing. Currently, the specific cause of the incident and whether the involved devices have security vulnerabilities are still under investigation.

Decentralized exchange THORChain announced that native Zcash swaps are now live, allowing users to exchange ZEC with assets on other supported blockchains without relying on wrapped tokens or centralized exchanges. This launch follows the protocol's 3.20 update, which introduced support for Zcash and Monero. At that time, the liquidity in the Zcash pool exceeded $50,000, and the network has begun processing real ZEC swaps.The pool is currently in a soft launch phase, with performance being monitored. If vulnerabilities or other issues arise, trading may be temporarily paused. The current pool size can easily support five-figure trades, while larger trades will experience higher slippage and slower settlement until liquidity increases. When the fee-to-depth ratio is sufficiently high, the protocol's own liquidity will automatically join the Zcash pool. This mechanism was introduced with the 3.20 upgrade, allowing the protocol to deploy a portion of liquidity fees (initially set at 20%) to supported liquidity pools.After integration, ZEC holders can swap their native assets with supported assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins without needing to deposit Zcash with a centralized custodian or convert it into wrapped assets on other networks. Zcash brings the total number of native blockchains in THORChain's cross-chain liquidity network to 14, with swaps settled in native assets on their respective chains, rather than transferring assets through cross-chain bridges or requiring users to relinquish custody.

The first batch of covered companies includes Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Circle, Strategy, and Palantir.Each stock token is backed 1:1 by actual shares, structurally retaining applicable shareholder rights such as dividends and voting rights, but representing securities interests rather than direct ownership on the company’s shareholder register; once tokenization is adopted by the issuer, it may provide a conversion channel. Initially, the product will be traded on Securitize's existing Solana platform, with liquidity provided by Jump Trading, settled in USDC stablecoin, and is expected to also launch on the NYSE's planned 24/7 digital trading platform and the upcoming OKXICE tokenized securities venue, which is a joint venture between the NYSE's parent company Intercontinental Exchange and OKX, both of which must meet listing and regulatory requirements.
