Stablecoins may not drain banks of dollars but they can still make lending more expensive

Heres a hypothetical scenario: you want to use $100 out of your bank account to buy newly issued stablecoins. The company issuing the stablecoins takes your dollars, puts them in its own bank account, and gives you a balance you can send around on a blockchain.　　You got the product you wanted, and somewhere in the vast and confusing realm of banking, the $100 is still there.　　From a distance, this looks like something banks shouldnt worry about. Sure, they lost a deposit, but they also got a deposit back, so why do bankers keep warning that stablecoins could drain the financial system？　　The thing is, your bank really liked having you as the customer. If you take your money away, now it owes that money to a company managing withdrawals for thousands of people, with someone paid to decide where the reserves should go.　　The dollars came back, but they came back with a different owner, and that owner can be a much more demanding creditor.　　This is the part of the stablecoin debate that gets lost when everyone starts estimating how many trillions will leave banks. The amount in the bank can stay the same while the bank gets a much worse deal,

Vitalik Buterin tries AI that keeps personal data private

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has tested a privacy-focused AI setup that uses a local model, zkAPI and Tor to generate personalized diet and exercise recommendations while limiting personal information sent to remote models.　　Buterin said on Oct. 4 that the self-experiment uses his health and travel information locally, while more powerful remote models handle selected questions that require stronger reasoning or knowledge.　　Doing a bit of a self-experiment.　　Goal: use my personal health and travel data to provide personalized diet and exercise recommendations for me, using frontier models but in a way that avoids leaking to them any private information.　　Strategy: use a local model (Qwen 3.8 Flash… pic.twitter.com/mi38E5jlfN　　— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) October 4, 2026　　The setup uses Alibabas Qwen3.8-Flash-Next as the local model. Buterin said the local system decides what information a remote model needs and rewrites requests before sending them, reducing the chance that personal details or his writing style reveal his identity.　　Vitalik Buterin uses three layers to separate his identity　　Buterin described the design as a three-layer privacy setup covering the content of requests, payment information and internet traffic.

XRP Liquidation Pressure Eases as Spot Demand Remains the Test

XRP liquidation pressure on Binance is easing after months of sharp spikes, suggesting less strain from leveraged trading, according to a new analysis.

Cryptoquant contributor “PelinayPA” examined easing XRP liquidation pressure using a chart combining exchange liquidations with a network valuation measure.　　The shift follows a contraction in derivatives, contracts linked to the token‘s price rather than direct ownership. Binance’s outstanding XRP derivatives positions contracted about 32% between Aug. 22 and Sept. 17, from roughly $323 million to $219 million. Known as open interest, this measure tracks exposure that remains open.　　Leverage magnifies gains and losses by allowing investors to control trades larger than the collateral they deposit.

Leveraged funds Bitcoin futures shorts fall by 5,300 BTC-equivalent as longs shrink

Leveraged funds reported Bitcoin futures shorts fell by about 5,300 $BTC-equivalent in the week to Sept. 29, narrowing their net short even as their aggregate long exposure shrank.　　The Commodity Futures Trading Commission‘s latest futures-only figures, released in the Oct. 2 reporting cycle, cover CME standard and micro Bitcoin futures plus Coinbase Derivatives’ nano Bitcoin and nano perpetual-style futures. The totals convert different contract sizes into $BTC-equivalent exposure; they describe futures positions, not transfers of physical bitcoin.　　Compared with Sept. 22 positions, the funds reported shorts fell 5,299.69 $BTC-equivalent and longs fell 908.99 $BTC-equivalent. Their net short consequently narrowed by 4,390.70 $BTC-equivalent, from 40,110.83 to 35,720.13. Their combined short exposure still exceeded their longs. These long and short columns exclude separately recorded, offsetting spread positions.
