Bitcoin software company Breez stated that since AI coding agents have become mainstream, the demand for its developer tools has surged significantly, with consulting requests increasing by approximately 14 times. Developers and the AI agents they deploy are seeking to integrate Bitcoin payments into their applications. Breez directly attributes this growth to Anthropic's Claude Code, which was launched as a research preview in February 2025 and officially opened three months later.Breez noted that before 2025, potential partners mainly fell into three categories: staunch Bitcoin enthusiasts, crypto developers, and fintech companies that view Bitcoin as an asset class. Since the launch of Claude Code, many developers with little to no Bitcoin experience have begun to inquire, with demand coming from fitness applications, messaging apps that want users to transfer money to each other, eSIM services for travelers, and a team developing a mushroom identification app. Breez stated that these developers often choose Bitcoin for its speed, as traditional payment processing involves bank accounts and cross-border transfers, which can take weeks or even months, while its SDK can be operational in just a few minutes.Breez mentioned that an increasing number of inquiries are coming from software rather than humans, as coding agents often represent the companies deploying them in making requests. The company believes that agents prefer Bitcoin because it is permissionless; agents can build applications and set up payments for global users without needing to open bank accounts, go through approvals, or sign documents. Breez stated that its latest SDK, built on the Bitcoin scaling protocol Spark, has successfully handled the increased traffic.

In a report released on Wednesday, JPMorgan analysts estimated that approximately $50 billion has flowed into digital assets this year, with an annualized rate of about $66 billion, up from the annualized level of $52 billion in May, but still about half of last year's pace. The report is led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou. Analysts estimated the inflow by aggregating data from cryptocurrency fund flows, CME futures implied flows, cryptocurrency venture capital fundraising, and purchases by listed mining companies and corporate treasuries, this time including private company treasuries, private mining companies, and government-related entities in the statistics.Analysts pointed out that the inflow in the first half of the year mainly came from Bitcoin purchases by Strategy and cryptocurrency venture capital financing, while ETF fund flows were a drag at that time, with significant outflows in May and June; since August, ETF fund flows have improved, turning positive for the year, but if calculated from the market correction starting October 10, 2025, the cumulative ETF fund flow is still negative. Institutional positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum futures at CME have increased over the past two months, with Bitcoin positions surpassing previous peaks and Ethereum positions nearing the October 2025 high. Offshore exchange perpetual contract leverage has fallen from the peak after the correction but remains above historical averages, and trend-following traders, including commodity trading advisors, have begun to rebuild long positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum.Analysts also stated that Bitcoin mining companies have been net sellers this year, with net sales of about $1.8 billion, mainly from listed mining companies, which have shifted from hoarding coins to selling newly mined tokens, partially reducing their existing holdings to fund artificial intelligence infrastructure expenditures.

Bitcoin News posted on platform X that U.S. federal prosecutors informed Judge Katherine Polk Failla that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld the conviction of Bitcoin Fog founder Roman Sterlingov on September 25, supporting the trial of Tornado Cash defendant Roman Storm in New York.The appellate court determined that the District of Columbia had jurisdiction to prosecute, reasoning that law enforcement had deposited approximately $250 worth of Bitcoin into Bitcoin Fog from the District of Columbia. Prosecutors stated that user Shakeeb Ahmed accessed Tornado Cash from his apartment in Manhattan, thus the same logic applies. Roman Storm released this letter and noted that FinCEN withdrew the mixer report request made in 2023 on the same day, citing that the proposal could hinder legitimate activities.

Cryptocurrency trader Bonk Guy posted that he recently suffered a loss of about $100,000 from trading a new token, mainly due to overtrading and continuously consuming capital while chasing new trading pairs and liquidity rotations. The scale of this position far exceeded his usual investment in similar trades.Bonk Guy reflected that the common point of several recent losses was relying on others' judgments rather than establishing his own investment beliefs. He stated that most of the profits in this cycle came from independent judgment and sticking to positions, but after achieving success, he gradually became complacent and started making unnecessary trades.Bonk Guy emphasized that sometimes the best trade is no trade at all, and he will focus more on opportunities that he truly believes in for investment, even if it means missing out on some market movements.

On-chain options protocol Derive announced that Derive V3 has been launched, the migration has been successfully completed, and trading has resumed. The team stated that this rebuild aims to continue the growth of its on-chain options business, with custody located on Ethereum, margin and settlement using zero-knowledge proofs, and order matching latency below 1 millisecond.According to the announcement, V3 supports the launch of no-code vaults and charges fees, and funds can also be released through ETH and BTC risk offset. Related features also cover yields and lending for ETH, WBTC, HYPE, and USDC, and accelerate the onboarding of crypto assets with real-world assets. Developers can build applications on Derive with less configuration and earn fees.Derive stated that new markets, vaults, and partner integrations will be launched on this basis in the coming weeks.

According to CoinDesk, Project Eleven, which focuses on defending against future quantum computing attacks, and the privacy-oriented proof-of-work blockchain Quantus plan to complete integration in the first quarter of 2027. This will connect Quantus to Project Eleven's institutional custody platform Strongpoint, allowing institutions to manage Quantus keys and approve transactions through hardware security modules, internal policies, and audit systems.The significance of this integration goes beyond a single chain. Networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum are unlikely to adopt the same post-quantum signature schemes or migration paths. Banks holding multiple assets may need to adapt to various new cryptographic forms simultaneously, without weakening control over transaction approval, signing, and auditing. Alex Pruden, co-founder and CEO of Project Eleven, stated that this transition could become a barrier for institutions adopting cryptocurrencies, as they have already prepared for post-quantum transitions outside of blockchain.Christopher Smith, co-founder and CEO of Quantus, believes that AI is accelerating everything, including quantum hardware and quantum software. The tail risk of sudden quantum attacks must be incorporated into all portfolio decisions, as it falls under fiduciary duty. The design of Strongpoint decouples the institutional control layer from the signature schemes used by the underlying blockchain. Even if different cryptography is adopted on-chain, custodians can still retain approval processes, hardware key storage, and audit trails. Quantus uses the post-quantum signature standard ML-DSA selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for key generation and transaction signing.

According to an official announcement, the decentralized autonomous organization Pyth DAO has passed the OP-PIP-136 proposal, deciding to use all (100%) funds obtained from its products to purchase PYTH on the open market and deposit it into the reserve. Previously, this proportion was one-third of the non-PYTH treasury balance. This proposal replaces the original monthly proposal voting process with a long-term authorization and also applies to the existing non-PYTH assets in the treasury. The execution rules remain unchanged, including a 5% slippage limit, a single transaction limit of $25,000, and on-chain public reporting.Data shows that Pyth's overall annual recurring revenue (ARR) has reached $11.5 million, with a quarter-over-quarter growth of 86%. In the past three months, over 94% of the trading volume of real-world asset (RWA) perpetual contracts used Pyth data. As of now, the PYTH reserve holdings have reached 42 million tokens.

According to NADA NEWS, the Japanese Ministry of Finance held the first meeting of the "National Debt Blockchain Research Committee" today and released explanatory materials, categorizing national debt on the blockchain into three types. Type 1 involves circulating the beneficial rights of funds (MMF) investing in national debt on the blockchain; Type 2 involves placing the transfer ledger on the blockchain under the current transfer settlement system, divided into three forms: single account management institutions, multi-institution collaboration, and interfacing with the Bank of Japan's ledger; Type 3 involves issuing a new form of national debt on the blockchain outside the current system.The Ministry of Finance believes that blockchain can enhance the efficiency of collateral and liquidity management and expand the investor base, particularly benefiting overseas investors. However, it also pointed out issues such as market fragmentation, transmission of severe price volatility, and system transformation costs. All three types are provisional categorizations, and the Ministry of Finance plans to compile a report before January 2027.
