Aave Prints Enormous 68% Volume Increase: What's Behind It

Aave is experiencing another aggressive expansion in trading activity as AAVE pushes toward $190. The token was trading around $185–$186 on Oct. 2, gaining roughly 13% over 24 hours and more than 26% over seven days, according to the supplied market data. Futures volume reached approximately $1.09 billion, while open interest climbed to about $535 million.  Aave crosses a key threshold  The increase is not occurring without fundamental catalysts. Aave Labs reported on Oct. 1 that Aave V4 surpassed $1 billion in deposits during September and expanded to Arc and Base. The Base deployment also introduced an Equities Hub where tokenized Coinbase equities can serve as collateral.  AAVE/USDT Chart by TradingView  AAVEs tokenomics provide another part of the explanation. The Aave DAO currently operates a buyback program with a $50 million annual budget, purchasing between $250,000 and $1.75 million of AAVE weekly depending on market conditions. Recent discussion around potentially adding a token-burning mechanism to Aavenomics has given traders another scarcity narrative to price in, although no formal burn proposal or schedule has been established.  Bearish market positions arise  Derivatives appear to be amplifying the move. The supplied Coinglass data shows roughly $3.82 million in AAVE liquidations over 24 hours, of which approximately $3.26 million came

Why rising perpetual funding rates signal growing bullish leverage as bitcoin crosses $86,500

Bitcoin derivatives activity is picking up ahead of Fridays U.S. jobs report, with traders adding positions as the price climbs above $86,000.  Open interest has risen to approximately 653,000 $BTC ($56.2 billion) from 626,000 $BTC on Sept. 30, according to CoinGlass data, an increase of 27,000 $BTC ($2.3 billion), or roughly 4.3%. Open interest measures the total value of outstanding futures and perpetual contracts that have yet to be closed or settled. Rising open interest indicates that traders are adding exposure, although it does not reveal whether they are betting on prices rising or falling.  Bitcoin has climbed from around $83,500 to $86,500 over the same period. A price increase coinciding with rising open interest suggests new positions are helping support the rally.  Meanwhile, the perpetual funding rate has risen from around 3% to 10% in the same time frame. Funding is a periodic payment exchanged between traders holding long and short positions, designed to keep perpetual futures prices close to the spot price. When funding is positive, traders betting on higher prices pay those betting on lower prices.  The increase suggests stronger demand for bullish exposure, with traders willing to pay more to maintain their positions ahead of the jobs report.  However, open interest

'Ignore Everything and HODL': Trader Behind 700% XRP Call Goes Big on ETH

Well-known crypto analyst DonAlt has announced that he is adopting a HODL strategy for Ethereum (ETH). In his view, the current weekly chart structure gives the asset a clear path higher. “No serious resistance left IMO. Im just gonna ignore everything and HODL,” the analyst said in a recent October review.  Weekly ETH/USD chart showing the breakout above key resistance into support, Source: DonAlt / TradingView.  Interest in DonAlts large ETH position is linked to his past performance: during the 2024–2025 cycle, he accurately forecast XRPs rally from the $0.50–$0.70 range to peaks of around $3.50–$3.66.  The analysts current position in Ethereum reflects lessons from the previous cycle. The XRP rally mayve brought DonAlt substantial profits, but his highest macro target of $6.90 was never reached before the coin entered a deep reversal.  DonAlt later described that success as partly down to “giga luck,” acknowledging that the trade had played out within a local speculative cycle.  The main lesson he carried into the current market was the need for strict discipline when taking profits, rather than waiting for the highest theoretical targets.  Why the trader behind the 700% XRP rally decided to simply hold Ethereum  The analyst built most of his position in mid-August 2026, opening a

Bitget hack: Where did the stolen $387M go?

Bitget‘s attacker has moved much of the exchange’s $387.5 million theft toward Bitcoin through cross-chain services, while only around $840,000 had been publicly frozen five days after the Sept. 24 breach.  BlockSec reported that the stolen funds followed three main paths: quickly converting assets that issuers could freeze, consolidating value from several chains into Bitcoin and gradually sending BTC into CoinJoin transactions.  The security firm based its analysis on addresses published through Bitgets tracking dashboard and a Sept. 29 snapshot, meaning the balances and laundering totals can continue changing as funds move.  How did the Bitget hacker move the stolen money?  Bitget said the breach began at 18:31 UTC on Sept. 24 with unauthorized transfers from portions of its hot and warm wallet infrastructure.  BlockSec found that the first transactions involved tiny test transfers of 0.84 ETH and 93 TRX. Larger withdrawals started at 18:58 UTC, while Bitgets reconciliation system detected a discrepancy seven minutes later and blocked ordinary customer withdrawals.  The attackers were not relying on the normal customer withdrawal process, according to Bitget. The exchange said a vulnerability in a third-party security product gave the attackers high-level internal credentials, which were then used to submit forged withdrawal commands directly into its wallet system.
