According to TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), a whale starting with 0xf517 currently has 190 BTC sell orders in the range of $79,654 to $108,888, planning to sell 951.3 BTC, with a nominal amount of approximately $91.787 million and a weighted average sell price of about $96,488. BTC is currently reported at $77,351, with the sell order range being about 3% to 40.8% higher than the current price.

According to Coinglass data, the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index has reappeared with a positive signal for the first time since May 19, reporting 0.0052%, ending a historical longest negative premium period of 97 consecutive days until August 23. Although these positive values are still relatively sporadic, they indicate that selling pressure from institutions has eased, undoubtedly helping the market continue to push upward, with the next step waiting for institutions to truly return and generate substantial demand.The previous longest record of negative premium was 40 consecutive days from January 16 to February 24 this year, and the second longest was about 30 days of continuous negative premium during last year's "1011 crash." The Coinbase Bitcoin premium index is used to measure the price difference between Coinbase Pro and Binance for Bitcoin. A sustained negative index typically means that Coinbase's quotes are relatively low, reflecting weak buying in the U.S. market or significant selling pressure, but it is not advisable to directly conclude that institutional funds are flowing out based solely on this indicator.

Data released by HODL15Capital shows that sell orders for Bitcoin around the price of $80,000 mainly come from the Binance trading platform. Among them, Binance has approximately $31.98 million in sell orders near $79,945, about $13.2 million in sell orders near $80,000, and around $33.27 million in sell orders near $82,500; Coinbase has about $38.74 million in sell orders near $80,000.HODL15Capital analysis indicates that some of these sell orders have been posted for a long time, for example, the sell orders near $80,000 on Binance have been around for about 99 days, and the sell orders near $82,500 have been around for about 108 days. Therefore, it is believed that the current sell wall may not be as strong as it appears, and it will be necessary to wait until BTC gets closer to $80,000 to confirm whether these orders are genuinely intended for sale or if they will continue to move the sell orders higher.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Treasury announced that from September 9 to November 4, the limit for single long-term U.S. Treasury bond repurchases will be raised from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, using short-term debt financing instead of "printing money," which the market views as a liquidity management operation similar to "Operation Twist 2."Although officials emphasize that this measure is not quantitative easing (QE) or yield curve control (YCC), it is interpreted as a signal of policy concerns regarding rising financing costs against the backdrop of long-term yields reaching nearly a twenty-year high and high fiscal deficits. This has strengthened expectations for a more aggressive YCC in the future, driving Bitcoin to surge short-term, breaking through $78,000, with a weekly increase of 23%. Gold has also strengthened, while the dollar weakened, intensifying market volatility due to short covering.

HTX global advisor Sun Yuchen stated that HTX has officially upgraded its security architecture in response to the community's demand for stronger security guarantees, claiming to keep user assets 100% SAFU. The upgrade includes enabling a multi-address withdrawal system, with hot wallet assets distributed across multiple addresses; withdrawal addresses are automatically rotated regularly, with old addresses immediately deactivated and no longer controlled after new addresses are activated; single address risk exposure has been minimized.Sun Yuchen mentioned that even in the event of extreme security incidents, the potential loss limit is below $1 million, fully covered by an insurance fund, and users will not lose any funds. He also reminded that withdrawal addresses will be changed regularly as part of normal security mechanisms, and users must verify the actual on-chain receipt situation. HTX stated that it will take every user feedback and every bit of user assets seriously.

WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff stated that Sun Yuchen's claims about the latest court ruling contain multiple false statements. Sun Yuchen previously claimed that the court supported his position and described the outcome as a "major victory," but in fact, the court did not make any ruling.Zach stated that Sun Yuchen packaged "temporarily leaving personal demands in court" as a victory, but WLFI never requested to submit his personal demands for arbitration. The motion to dismiss filed by WLFI regarding these personal demands is still pending a court ruling. In other words, the "court support" and "major victory" claimed by Sun Yuchen do not exist.

According to Protos, the UK's HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) sent over 81,000 warning letters to suspected tax-evading cryptocurrency holders in the 2025/2026 fiscal year, nearly tripling from 27,714 letters in 2024. HMRC believes that most unpaid taxes stem from capital gains during the bull market from 2022 to 2025.The letters remind users that selling, gifting, exchanging, or using cryptocurrency for consumption may trigger capital gains tax obligations, and violators could face penalties of up to 100% of the tax owed plus interest, with harsher penalties for offshore transfers. Additionally, HMRC expects to gain new powers next year to compel foreign cryptocurrency platforms to disclose user information, anticipating an additional £315 million in tax revenue by 2030.
