Judge rejects CFTC, Gemini bid to undo $5M settlement

A US federal judge has rejected a joint request by crypto exchange Gemini and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to overturn a $5 million settlement, despite the regulators conclusion that it would not have pursued the case under current enforcement standards.　　On Thursday, US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that changes in CFTC enforcement priorities and allegations of misconduct by its enforcement division did not justify overturning the January 2025 settlement.　　On May 27, the CFTC and Gemini jointly asked the court to overturn the settlement after an internal agency review found alleged misconduct by the regulators enforcement division, including reliance on a questionable whistleblower, improper regulatory pressure and efforts to prevent the disclosure of evidence.　　The ruling leaves intact a permanent injunction barring Gemini from making false or misleading statements to the CFTC. The settlement also prohibits Gemini from publicly denying its findings, although the regulator said in June that it would no longer enforce such restrictions.　　Gemini has already paid the $5 million penalty, which the CFTC previously told Cointelegraph would not be refunded even if the settlement were overturned.　　Judge cites Geminis decision to settle before trial　　The case centered on how Gemini operated its Bitcoin auction. According to the January 2025

Bitcoin may seek 20-month trend line reclaim before new record highs: CryptoQuant

Bitcoin is attempting to break through an “inflection frontier” that has historically triggered runs to new macro highs.　　Key points:Bitcoin (BTC) may continue to new all-time highs if it successfully breaks through its 20-month moving average at $87,165, CryptoQuant reported.The market cycle signals metric showed BTC/USD poised to reclaim this “inflection frontier,” which it lost in December 2025.CryptoQuants bull-bear market cycle indicator continued to show Bitcoin as being in a bull market.　　Analysis: Bitcoin “reset” complete as key trend line reappears　　Data from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant reveals that BTC/USD has begun a fresh battle with its 20-month simple moving average (SMA).　　The 20-month SMA, at $87,165 as of Oct. 16, is the trend line around which the popular Bollinger Bands metric is constructed. This in turn forms the basis for CryptoQuant‘s market cycle signals tool, which seeks to pinpoint Bitcoin’s position within its market cycle.　　Bollinger Bands uses standard deviation to add an upper and lower band around the 20-month SMA. Currently, these sit at $121,640 and $52,694, respectively. CryptoQuants indicator describes the zone between the lower band and SMA as an “accumulation base,” while the SMA itself is referred to as an “inflection frontier,” a previous point of investor capitulation as price broke

Google cuts quantum errors 40-fold: Is Bitcoin at risk？

Google has demonstrated a 40-fold reduction in quantum computing errors using its Willow processor, advancing a technology that researchers believe could eventually challenge the cryptography protecting Bitcoin.　　Google announced the results on October 15, 2026, following the publication of its research in the scientific journal Science. The experiment used a technique called magic state cultivation to produce quantum states with 99.99% logical fidelity, or accuracy, under the researchers testing method.　　The achievement addresses a technical problem that has limited efforts to build reliable quantum computers. Although Google‘s experiment did not break Bitcoin’s encryption, its findings concern technology that could eventually help future machines perform the calculations needed to attack existing cryptographic systems.　　JUST IN: Google‘s Willow chip advances quantum computing, raising fresh questions about Bitcoin’s security　　A new technique called “magic state cultivation” cuts quantum errors roughly 40x with 99.99% accuracy, but scaling it up remains a challenge before quantum computers could… pic.twitter.com/9gL46tAPJT　　— crypto.news (@cryptodotnews) October 16, 2026　　The research follows Googles March assessment that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break the type of elliptic curve cryptography used by Bitcoin with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits under specified hardware assumptions.　　Google cuts quantum computing errors by 40 times　　Googles latest experiment focused on reducing errors in

XRP Defies Support Crash With Sudden $184 Million Binance Inflow

Speculative traders in the derivatives market launched a large-scale counterattack to defend the XRP token from a prolonged decline after the release of tough macroeconomic data in the US.　　According to the analyst DarkFrost from CryptoQuant, an abnormal capital inflow was recorded on Binance alone as key support levels broke: more than $184 million flowed into long contracts within a few hours. This allowed XRP to quickly recover from its drop below $1.30 and show a local rebound of 5%.　　XRP Taker Buy Volume spikes on Binance as price dips below $1.30, Source: @darkfost_coc / CryptoQuant　　The massive wave of selling began after XRP corrected by 22.5% from its September high of $1.65. Pressure on the cryptocurrency sector came from US consumer price (CPI) and producer price (PPI) indices that were “hotter” than expected, which triggered a drop in US stock indices.　　However, some large players viewed XRPs drop below $1.30 as an extreme market asymmetry and opened positions against the current bearish trend.　　All the money went to Binance (literally)　　On-chain data confirms that the defensive wave of liquidity was isolated and bypassed other major exchanges, concentrating in one place:Abnormal volume on Binance: In the peak hour, the volume of market buy orders (Taker Buy

Will Death Cross Finalize on XRP？

XRP trades at $1.34, and the chart has reached a critical point. The 50-day average, shown in blue, sits near $1.39. The 200-day average, in black, is just beneath it at about $1.38. The gap between them is tiny. If the blue line slips below the black one, the death cross is complete.　　XRP drops down　　This signal has an ominous name, but it is slow. It reacts to price that has already fallen. XRP dropped from $1.66 in late September to $1.34 now, and that decline is what pulled the 50-day line down. The cross would therefore confirm a move that has already happened, not predict a new one. Still, many traders watch it, and headlines can add selling pressure.　　XRP/USDT Chart by TradingView　　Price is also sitting at the orange line near $1.34. This line has held XRP up since the August jump. Over the past few days, sellers pushed below it, but buyers brought price back. The wick down to about $1.28 shows that dip buyers are active. Todays small green candle is a first sign of defense, although it is not strong.　　Are sellers on the edge？　　The RSI is near 40, which means sellers have the edge, but the market is

Native Bitcoin collateral on Aave triggers WBTC pool deficit

Aaves proposed native Bitcoin lending market would keep collateral in Bitcoin while borrowing wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) to pay outside liquidators immediately. Suppliers financing those payouts would face any settlement shortfall without funded protection.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $82,126.72 24-hour change: up 1.16% Loading price history… 24H Up 1.16% 7D Down 0.51% 30D Up 8.98%　　The design in Babylon Labs‘ Oct. 14 proposal separates fast liquidation from the slower redemption of Bitcoin collateral.

Ripple News: Does the DriveWealth Deal Matter for XRP？

The latest Ripple news is a partnership with DriveWealth, which is integrating Ripples stablecoin infrastructure to support settlement in Europe, with plans to expand to the United States.　　The announced structure lets clients fund and manage collateral accounts using stablecoins that convert to cash in near real time. The agreement does not require counterparties to purchase XRP. That makes the deal a potential institutional infrastructure milestone, not a clear new source of XRP demand.　　This is not simply a stablecoin integration. It is a test of whether institutional use of Ripple‘s rails can translate into demand for the network’s native token, and the disclosed mechanics do not establish that link. The distinction between RLUSD adoption and XRP demand is central to assessing what the partnership means for the token.　　DriveWealth‘s arrangement also illustrates why growth in a stablecoin’s use on XRPL does not automatically create meaningful XRP demand: RLUSD can serve as the settlement asset while the ledger processes it.　　Global investing is evolving. The infrastructure behind it should too.　　Were partnering with @DriveWealth across RLUSD settlement on the XRP Ledger, cross-border payments, custody and prime brokerage to modernize how money moves across global markets.　　Together, were building a…　　— Ripple (@Ripple) October 14, 2026　　Join Coinspeaker‘s $1,000
