Investment bank StoneX has raised the target price for the tokenization platform Securitize from $12 to $18, an increase of 50%, while maintaining the buy rating given by analyst Mark Palmer. This adjustment comes on the first trading day after the launch of Securitize Stocks, which saw the stock drop by as much as 10% in early trading on Monday, with the new target price still about 45% higher than the stock price at that time. Palmer noted that although SECZ's stock price rose last week due to the news of the platform's launch, the market still views it as a tokenization service provider, while the company has actually evolved into a market operator.StoneX pointed out that in the second quarter, Securitize's trading volume of $5.3 billion generated most of its tokenization revenue from integration fees, with the trading volume itself being almost unmonetized. The launch of Securitize Stocks is expected to change this situation, allowing the company to start charging fees from trading and services, and potentially earning collateral-related income in the future. Last week, the platform introduced stocks such as Apple, NVIDIA, and Tesla to Solana, with transactions settled in USDC, and the tokens backed one-to-one by the underlying stocks, allowing holders to enjoy dividends and shareholder rights.StoneX expects Securitize's revenue to approach $120 million in 2027, growing to about $198.5 million in 2028, with an annual growth rate of approximately 65%. Based on Palmer's target price of $18, the corresponding enterprise value to revenue multiple for the 2028 forecast is about 14.5 times. The firm believes that as the scale of tokenized stock trading fees expands, the company's revenue structure will shift from one-time integration fees to ongoing trading and service charges.

10x Research published that Bitcoin option prices have fallen to a five-year low, with near-month implied volatility at 33.5%, more than 4 percentage points lower than actual volatility, indicating that option pricing is relatively cheap. In the past week, the skew of Bitcoin options has decreased by nearly 3 percentage points, with traders focusing on buying put options expiring in October with strike prices of $78,000 and $80,000, with single large trades reaching up to $204 million.10x Research believes this indicates that investors overall still hold long positions while hedging downside risks through options, rather than fully turning bearish. In contrast, the Ethereum options market shows different signals. Its largest corporate buyer has indicated that it will stop buying in the coming weeks, with options trading primarily dominated by sellers of call options, and implied volatility higher than actual volatility.

The total sell orders at the near end amount to approximately $23.8111 million, while the buy orders are about $23.7336 million.The net sell orders at this venue exceed approximately $77,500, accounting for 0.16% of the total depth. The sell orders near $83,836 represent the most prominent resistance at the near end.

According to the Business Times citing supply chain sources, Intel has raised the prices of multi-generational PC processors since September, with the high-end Panther Lake seeing an increase of 15% to 20%. Qualcomm raised the prices of multi-chip platforms by about 10% on October 1, and AMD is reported to follow suit, with the increase, scope, and effective date still to be confirmed.The report states that Intel has raised prices three times since the end of last year. Starting from September 1, prices were adjusted differentially by product line, with the highest increase for high-end Panther Lake products, focusing on those equipped with high-end GPU tiles, rather than a simultaneous increase across the entire series; Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake saw increases of about 5% to 10%. Panther Lake adopts heterogeneous integration, with the CPU Compute tile produced by Intel 18A, and the high-end GPU tile outsourced to TSMC N3E. The largest increase this time is for high-end GPUs using TSMC's advanced process.The supply chain indicates that Qualcomm's Snapdragon X and X2 Elite platforms will increase by about 10% starting in October. AMD's Ryzen and EPYC heavily rely on TSMC's advanced processes, with the next generation of EPYC pushing towards 2 nanometers. Industry insiders say that process upgrades, product high-endization, and AI computing power demands are simultaneously driving up CPU prices, with AI, mobile, and high-end computing competing for TSMC's 3-nanometer capacity, while 2-nanometer is entering the ramp-up phase for mass production.

On-chain analyst Murphy posted on platform X that long-term holders (LTH) of Bitcoin have cumulatively transferred approximately 32,000 BTC to exchanges, marking the second-largest single-day inflow since the significant drop on February 5 of this year. However, during the same period, U.S. government-related wallets transferred about 17,200 BTC to Coinbase Prime. Considering that this platform serves as the official custodian and trading service for the U.S. Marshals Service, these transfers do not necessarily indicate selling.Excluding this portion, the noteworthy potential selling pressure is approximately 14,800 BTC, primarily coming from long-term holdings aged 6 to 12 months and 3 to 5 years. Murphy pointed out that the average coin age of spent long-term holder coins reached 712 days, up from 651 days on July 14, indicating that earlier holdings are gradually participating in turnover. He believes that the distribution by long-term holders during the transition phase between bull and bear markets is not necessarily bearish; the release of periodic selling pressure can help in the redistribution of holdings, with the key being whether market demand can effectively absorb it. If new funds can digest the supply, sufficient turnover may actually reduce resistance for subsequent market movements.

Papertrade's official response to the allegations of price manipulation and the existence of obvious loopholes in the protocol states: It has never been possible for small orders to have the same priority as large orders. If this were done, the front end would suffer from congestion due to junk trading, and the consequences would be much worse than the existing queuing mechanism.Under these constraints, we have designed the fair launch to be as inclusive as possible.Last night, the attempts to manipulate BTC/ETH on Hyperliquid BBO were not due to flaws in the mechanism that took six months to design. These situations had already been considered; it was only because the position limits were set very loosely in the early stages to cope with congestion that such occurrences were possible. If position limits were set during peak demand for launching, it would only exacerbate the slow experience, and the queuing mechanism itself, due to the uncertainty of opening/closing confirmation times, naturally provides protection against manipulation.As congestion eases, we have begun to tighten position limits on-chain and at the relay level. In such a system, manipulation attacks are always possible— the key is whether the attempt is economically viable. The official goal is to set parameters to a point where it is almost never profitable; even if successful, the tail risk is extremely high, and the expected value is negative.

Crypto trader Rune stated on platform X that the official documentation of PaperTrade has disclosed a "vulnerability" risk in the pricing mechanism at the protocol level. According to the screenshots of the displayed documentation, attackers can manipulate prices using the Best Bid and Offer (BBO) from the Hyperliquid order book. This risk involves unresolved price manipulation pathways, contract economic mechanisms, risk exposure control, as well as operational protective measures and permission management mechanisms.In addition, Rune also forwarded a tweet from community user boblob, which revealed that two wallets are suspected of actively exploiting "attacks" on the PaperTrade platform, causing a slight fluctuation of about 10-20 basis points in the ETH price on the Hyperliquid platform through trades totaling approximately 20 million dollars. Boblob further added that there are obvious issues with the current PaperTrade protocol that need to be fixed as soon as possible, or it may affect the long-term sustainability of the protocol.

Renowned trader Killa stated that buyers are absorbing selling pressure during the recent pullback, which resembles the pattern seen in a previous consolidation range, and there is very little support below the current price level. The market order wall shows a strong accumulation of buy orders just above the $80,000 level, and the buyers' conviction is strong; this price level is also an important psychological barrier for Bitcoin.Killa mentioned that if Bitcoin's weekly K-line closes above the previous week's low (around $82,600) this week, it would be a bullish signal, potentially indicating a typical return to the range after a stop-loss hunt. Killa, a quantitative trader focused on BTC, predicted the peak of this bull market in May 2025 and has over 200,000 followers on platform X. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688 and switched to long during the market-wide decline on June 5.

Futures demand has slightly retreated compared to the previous day, but the negative value of spot demand has narrowed, keeping overall demand in a relatively positive range.The spot demand, which had previously remained in negative territory, is approaching a positive value. Once spot demand turns positive, Bitcoin will experience strong upward momentum.

Arthur Hayes stated that at the beginning of each super bull market, the market must overcome numerous concerns. In 2017, it was the block size debate; in 2020, it was the pandemic; in 2023, it was the FTX collapse and central bank interest rate hikes; in 2026, it will be the panic caused by AI encryption technology (FUD).The wave of money printing will eventually come, and asset prices will soar.
