According to CoinGlass data, the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index has recorded negative values for 31 consecutive days, with the latest at -0.1353%, indicating that purchasing power in the U.S. market has once again fallen into a slump.Previously, on August 24, the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index reappeared with a positive signal for the first time since May 19, reporting at 0.0052%, momentarily ending the longest historical negative premium period of 97 days. The Coinbase Bitcoin premium index is used to measure the price difference of Bitcoin between Coinbase Pro and Binance. A sustained negative index typically means that Coinbase's pricing is relatively low, which may reflect weak buying interest or significant selling pressure in the U.S. market, but it is not advisable to directly conclude that institutional funds are flowing out based solely on this indicator.

Uniswap Labs announced that Aggregator Hooks are now live, enabling aggregation functionality in Uniswap v4. This mechanism wraps external liquidity sources into v4 pools through Hooks, allowing any routing to treat them as Uniswap pools. It is currently available on the Uniswap web interface and API, covering Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Robinhood Chain, with more networks to be integrated soon.On the first day of launch, it supports seven external sources, including Curve, Fluid, and PancakeSwap. Each block routing will pull the latest quotes from the integrated sources, constructing the optimal path between the Uniswap pool and external sources during exchanges, and completing settlements within a single transaction without the need for additional authorization. Uniswap stated that most on-chain liquidity is already on Uniswap, but new liquidity may still appear in other places. After external sources are incorporated into v4, exchanges routed through them will incur protocol fees, contributing to UNI burn.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that his office has reached a $500,000 settlement agreement with Fidelity Digital Assets, National Association (the successor entity of Fidelity Digital Asset Services), regarding the company's previous practice of restricting California retail customers from transferring cryptocurrency to external wallets.Regulators believe that this practice may violate the California Commodity Act of 1990; this law restricts certain speculative commodity contracts unless the buyer obtains physical delivery within a specified time, and the California government views the ability to withdraw cryptocurrency as a functional equivalent of delivery. From November 2022 to April 2025, California customers could buy and sell cryptocurrency on the Fidelity platform but were unable to send assets directly to external wallets. Fidelity stated that this restriction stemmed from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) not approving the relevant functionality at that time; the license was approved in April 2025, and the transfer feature will be extended to all California retail customers in June 2025.

On-chain detective ZachXBT stated that in August 2026, a centralized money laundering service named FreedomXMR (FXMR) appeared on Hyperliquid Core (HL Core). Over 87% of its incoming funds are directly related to illegal activities.Through manual verification, it was found that among all historical inflows over $10,000 to FXMR, more than $20 million directly originated from ransomware attacks, exploits, malware, and social engineering attacks, including: the DCENT wallet exploit incident (September 2026), the Fetch.ai exploit incident (September 2026), the Axelar exploit incident (September 2026), a certain ransomware payment (September 2026, specific source undisclosed), and the Gamdom exploit incident (October 2026).

Several such centralized money laundering services had previously appeared on HL Core, exploiting the chain's "permissionless" design features and its wide application for illegal money laundering activities.

Three men from Bristol, England, broke into a man's home in the early hours of May 15, assaulted the victim, and demanded a large amount of cryptocurrency. The victim sustained head injuries and was hospitalized, while the three men failed to obtain any cryptocurrency.

StepFun, an AI startup invested by Tencent, has released the STEPX Neo phone, which features an AI intelligent agent directly built into the operating system rather than as an external application. The phone began pre-sales on the evening of October 13, priced at 3999 yuan (approximately 560 USD), with its official sale starting on October 16. Pre-sale channels include JD.com, Tmall, and Douyin. Users do not need to open a ride-hailing app to input addresses and select vehicles; they simply need to inform the destination, and the intelligent agent can autonomously complete the subsequent steps. StepFun stated at the launch event that in the era of intelligent agents, AI is no longer an additional feature of smartphones but is the product itself.The device runs on the Step AOS 1 system, which the company claims is designed from the ground up for intelligent agents, featuring long-term memory, task scheduling, and security control capabilities, composed of a mix of Android, Linux, and real-time operating system components. The system uses the MCP protocol to break down functions such as messages, applications, files, and settings into small modules that can be directly called by the intelligent agent, giving users two entry points: a traditional application grid and an intelligent agent space. The intelligent agent is named Amoo, which saves two types of memory: user factual preferences and task execution experiences. Simple commands are processed by a small model on the device, some of which can run offline, while complex cross-application requests are handled by a large model in the cloud. A second MiniLED screen on the back of the device can display Amoo's execution status.Nearly 100 companies and products, including Alipay, Tencent, Trip.com, Didi, and Meituan, have integrated with Amoo. Payments, travel bookings, and content creation are still completed by their respective platforms. This is an alternative path for StepFun in response to the major application blockages faced by ByteDance's Doubao, which previously used screen reading and simulated clicking solutions. StepFun was founded in 2023 by former Microsoft Vice President Jiang Daxin. Its self-developed flagship large model, Step 5 Preview, was launched in September, with a parameter scale of 600 billion and a single activation of 27 billion, supporting a context of 1 million tokens; the earlier released Step 3.5 Flash was open-sourced under the Apache 2 license. The price of 3999 yuan includes a 12-month STEPX Token plan, providing 100 billion tokens per month, while the AI costs after the first year have not yet been announced.

The relevant plan still needs to go through the review process.
