Bitcoins New Scarcity Trade Is Being Built in Capital Markets

Capital B is converting traditional capital-market funding into direct Bitcoin purchases, including through ATM equity issuance.The U.S. reserve primarily changes potential sell-side supply because its initial $BTC came from government forfeitures rather than market purchases.Corporate $BTC can look structurally scarce until financing conditions change, making dilution, conversion terms and refinancing risk part of Bitcoins supply story.　　Bitcoins supply cap has not changed. The financing structures competing for that supply have.　　Capital B is using equity and convertible instruments to build a Bitcoin treasury. The U.S. government has placed forfeited $BTC into a strategic reserve governed by a no-sale policy. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong continues to argue that Bitcoin could reach $400,000 by 2030 as institutional adoption expands.　　These developments are often grouped together as institutional adoption, but their market mechanics are different. A corporate treasury creates new demand when it raises capital and buys $BTC. A government reserve can restrict potential supply without purchasing coins on the open market. Meanwhile, derivatives allow investors to create large amounts of Bitcoin exposure without permanently absorbing the underlying asset.　　The question is no longer simply who owns Bitcoin, but how those holdings are financed and what could eventually bring them back onto the market.　　Capital B Is Turning

Is the Altcoin Bull Run Here？ What Can We Expect from Altcoins in the Coming Days？

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said that the recent surge in the altcoin market is showing increasing signs of enthusiasm and that the current momentum may not be sustainable for long.　　According to data shared by Darkforth, the Total2 index, which shows the total market capitalization of altcoins including Ethereum, has seen over $371 billion in capital inflows since June 2026. This means the total value of the altcoin market has increased by approximately 45% in just a few months.　　The strong capital inflow into the market has been clearly reflected in the technical outlook of altcoins listed on Binance. While approximately 80% of altcoins on Binance were trading below their 200-day moving average in August, this figure has dropped to 13% today. Accordingly, approximately 87% of altcoins traded on the exchange have risen above their 200-day moving average, reversing the previous downward trend.　　Darkfost stated that such a widespread surge indicates a significant increase in enthusiasm and speculative appetite in the altcoin market. According to the analyst, in the past, a similar surge in numerous altcoins simultaneously has often not been sustainable, and the market has lost momentum at some point.　　Another notable indicator was the increase in the speed at which altcoins were being

XRP ETFs Attract $75M in a Week as SOL Funds Hit New 2026 High

Friday was particularly good day for the financial vehicles tracking both assets, especially SOL.　　The spot exchange-traded funds tracking the performance of Ripples cross-border token started the week quietly but built on by the end of it, reaching a new cumulative all-time high.　　At the same time, the products tracking Solanas SOL are on a green-only streak since September 11, and the inflows peaked on Friday with more than $86 million.　　XRP ETFs Had a Big Week　　The previous business week was a little shaky for the XRP ETFs, as they attracted a more modest $9.56 million, less than half of the $19 million seen in the first few weeks of September. Nevertheless, the financial vehicles still extended their green streak to ten consecutive weeks.　　After marking more net outflows last Thursday and Friday, investors stood on the sidelines on September 21 as the new week began, with SoSoData showing no reportable inflows on Monday. However, the trend changed on Tuesday and remained on a high note until Friday.　　Investors poured in $20.02 million on September 22, followed by $18.04 million on September 23, another $14.89 million on Thursday, and $22.65 million on Friday.

Solana batch ordering proposal leaves leaders in control

A proposed Solana rule would let validators reject a block when transactions inside one entry batch are recorded out of fee-priority order. It would not decide which transactions make the block. The SIMD-0649 pull request closed on Sept. 25 without merging, leaving that narrower trade-off for further discussion rather than putting a new ordering rule into effect.　　The distinction matters to traders trying to predict where an order will land. Under the draft, a block producer, known as the leader, would still choose which transactions to include and how to divide them into batches. The proposed consensus check would make the order of transactions within each completed batch inspectable and enforceable. It would not establish one priority queue for an entire slot.　　Solana‘s ledger groups entries into batches. In the draft’s design, non-exempt transactions in each batch would have to appear in non-increasing priority order. A validator replaying the block would compare their recorded priorities and treat a violation as an invalid block. It would not reshuffle transactions into the right sequence after receiving them. Equal-priority transactions could appear in either order, and simple vote transactions would be exempt.　　The priority score is based on the reward a leader receives for including a

KAS went up 12%, but the Kaspa network is emptying out - What's happening？

Kaspa [KAS] has been among the ringleaders of tokens that have been making waves of late. The asset pulled a 12% gain over the past 24 hours, while its weekly performance stood strong as well, with a 23% increment.　　While KAS continues to make an upswing, data points to weakening activity and liquidity positioning that could force a decline for the asset in the short term. Importantly, sentiment is also at play, which is presently changing the dynamics.　　KAS rally faces weakening on-chain activity　　The activity on-chain hasn‘t supported the expansion that has been witnessed with Kaspa’s price over the past weeks. The Daily Active Users (DAU), which tracks unique addresses on the chain, has significantly plummeted between the 17th of September and press time.　　According to data from Kaspalytics, the figure dropped from 36,570 down to roughly 7,910, making a 78% decline within a week. Thats not all. While the amount of active users plummeted, transactions followed suit.　　Source: Kaspalytics　　The standard transactions count in the past 24 hours specifically had dropped as well, from about 208,480 down to 113,530. This decline meant that over 94,000 transactions were placed in the past day.　　One notable point is that transactions via Coinbase for Kaspa had maintained nearly

Altcoins gain $371B since June – Can the rally survive rising exchange deposits？

Altcoin momentum is broadening as capital moves beyond Bitcoin [BTC] into a wider range of tokens. Since June, Total2 has absorbed over $371 billion, increasing its market capitalization by 45%.　　This rotation is now spreading across Binance-listed assets, where only 13.6% are currently trading below their 200-day Moving Averages (MA), while 87% are trading above them.　　Notably, the percentage of Binance-listed assets trading above their 200-day MA is significantly higher than it was a year ago　　Source: CryptoQuant　　The improved participation across the markets indicates a better distribution of price increases throughout the markets instead of being concentrated among just a few larger-capitalized tokens.　　If broader participation does continue, then the price action of the current rally will likely become more volatile should capital begin to flow away from those smaller-capitalized tokens.　　Are altcoins facing selling pressure？　　The spike in altcoin breadth is now colliding with an explosion in trade volume on exchanges. This is potentially a tipping point that could put downward pressure on the rally.　　The 25th of September saw approximately 70,000 altcoin deposits, the largest number of altcoin deposits seen since the 17th of October, 2025.　　Much of this flow came from Binance, while Coinbase, Bybit, and OKX provided additional inflows to exchanges.

Bitcoin's Quantum Problem: Three Ways Researchers Are Trying to Fix It

In briefA quantum computer could someday derive private keys from exposed public keys and drain Bitcoin wallets—the hypothetical “Q-Day”—though no such machine exists and timelines vary widely.Fixes fall into three buckets, all in the news this week: quantum-safe transactions under current rules, protocol upgrades like a soft fork, and custody-layer defenses.Nothing shipped this week makes Bitcoin quantum-safe on its own; the field is driving down defense costs while measuring how fast the threat is closing.　　Every few months, a fresh headline warns that quantum computers could one day crack Bitcoin. This week brought three at once—a cost breakthrough, a new privacy design, and a custody playbook—which makes it a good moment to separate the real threat from the noise.　　First, the problem—and its a very real one. Bitcoin secures wallets using elliptic-curve cryptography, the math that links a private key to a public one. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shors algorithm could, in theory, derive a private key from an exposed public key, forge a signature and drain the wallet.　　Myriad: How high will Bitcoin go？ Click to make your prediction.　　The industry calls the hypothetical arrival of such a machine “Q-Day.” No such computer exists today, and estimates for when one might
