Odaily reports that according to Lookonchain monitoring, an早期 Ethereum wallet transferred out approximately 2,155 ETH, worth about $4.59 million.The wallet initially purchased 1,400 ETH at $0.31 per token, for a total cost of $434; it later withdrew 755 ETH from Bitfinex when the ETH price was $11.74.

Odaily reports: According to Bitfinex analysis, Strategy shareholders voted on October 28 to approve a proposal for daily dividend payments on STRC preferred stock, with preliminary results showing 99.3% of votes in favor. STRC is expected to shift from semi-monthly dividend payments to daily dividend payments starting November 1, with the first cash dividend payment arriving on November 2; Strategy's other three preferred stocks, STRF, STRK, and STRD, are expected to follow suit in January 2027.Strategy's move aims to reduce price volatility around ex-dividend dates. Company CEO Phong Le stated that previously, when STRC paid dividends monthly, prices fell by an average of about 49 basis points around the ex-dividend date, which dropped to about 36 basis points after switching to semi-monthly payments. The company expects that daily dividend payments will further disperse selling pressure and improve price stability.This model was not pioneered by Strategy. Bitcoin treasury company Strive converted its SATA preferred stock to daily dividend payments in June of this year and launched a subordinated preferred stock, SATS, with a fixed annual dividend rate of 15%. In October, Strive issued 7 million shares of SATS at $90 per share, raising approximately $630 million, and used about $511 million of that to purchase 6,182 BTC.

Odaily Report: According to monitoring by Benson Sun, Coinkarma founder Benson Sun posted that in Binance's recent theft incident, the exchange has confirmed the freezing of approximately $2.5 billion in assets, accounting for about half of the total stolen amount, with the remaining assets primarily consisting of Bitcoin and ETH. The stolen Bitcoin is worth approximately over $1 billion, but Bitcoin lacks deep mixing pools similar to Tornado Cash, and the relevant addresses will be flagged by trading platforms and on-chain analytics firms, making it far more difficult to liquidate than ETH. Reviewing cases such as the 2016 Bitfinex stolen Bitcoin that remained untouched for years, and the approximately 1,800 BTC stolen from Coldcard in July this year with 90% still unmoved as of early September, Benson Sun stated that this theft is larger in scale, and splitting addresses, mixing coins, and then discounting through OTC trading could take years, with short-term selling pressure nearly zero. If Binance uses SAFU to compensate and replenish Bitcoin, it could instead create buying pressure. In contrast, large amounts of ERC-20 tokens converted into ETH and then deposited into Tornado Cash are harder to trace, and the amount that could genuinely translate into market selling pressure may be in the range of over $1 billion. Benson Sun believes that market confidence will be impacted, but the direct selling pressure on Bitcoin is not as large as imagined, and called on the industry to seriously address security arrangements for hot wallet management, signature authorization, and quantum resistance in the post-AI era.

Odaily Report: Investment management firm CMCC Global plans to tokenize its two digital asset funds, Crest and the Liberty Bitcoin Accumulation Fund (LBAF), issuing and managing tokens through Tether's Hadron infrastructure, with distribution by Bitfinex Securities under El Salvador's digital asset framework.

The tokens represent economic rights to the underlying fund shares, are minted in proportion to the corresponding shares, and are burned upon redemption; issuance requires identity verification and anti-money laundering review, and is restricted to whitelisted addresses only. BTCS S.A. has agreed in principle to provide a three-digit Bitcoin-anchored allocation, with the specific size undisclosed; Crest is priced at $10 per token, and LBAF is priced at 0.0001 BTC per token.

Odaily reports: Bitfinex stated that despite repeated downward pressure, Bitcoin has continued to hold the lower end of its range, and BTC is expected to remain range-bound between $81,300 and $84,400 ahead of the Federal Reserve's FOMC interest rate decision on October 28. If the price tests the upper boundary of the range, short-term traders taking profits could introduce some selling pressure.On the market data front, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $526.7 million on October 19, indicating somewhat stronger spot demand, but BTC price is still fluctuating narrowly between $81,724 and $83,470 and remains below the average cost basis of ETF investors at $84,333. Meanwhile, futures open interest on major exchanges has rebounded 4.2% from its October 12 low to 645,410 BTC, and funding rates are normalizing, suggesting leveraged long positions have recovered somewhat.In the options market, notional open interest for options expiring on October 23 stands at $1.23 billion, with the max pain point at approximately $82,000; monthly options expiring on October 30 total $11.2 billion, with a max pain point of $76,000. On-chain data shows that the $82,224 cost basis range added approximately 145,000 BTC, while the $80,353 cost basis range shed about 62,000 BTC, indicating some holdings are migrating toward higher cost basis ranges. The short-term holder SOPR is approximately 1.003, and the share of profitable supply is around 70%.

Odaily News: The 17,733 BTC transferred by the U.S. government to Coinbase Prime is a custody arrangement rather than a sell signal. Of these, 12,267 BTC related to the Bitfinex hack remain under the custodian's control, with only approximately 1,200 BTC potentially being sold.

Odaily News: According to the Bitfinex Alpha report, whether Bitcoin can reclaim $84,500 this week will depend on whether U.S. CPI data changes market expectations for interest rates and yields, and whether spot market buying can follow through. BTC previously fell from a high of $87,197 on October 2 to a low of $80,347 on October 8, a maximum decline of about 7.9%. During this period, it briefly dropped below $81,300 before quickly recovering; that level had previously been the range high and has now flipped back into support.Bitfinex said this pullback is similar to multiple corrections during previous recovery phases, and investors whose cost basis is within the original trading range have not shown obvious selling. At the same time, after about $1.18 billion in positions were liquidated across the crypto market on October 8, leverage levels dropped significantly, with no large-scale re-leveraging observed. Future price action will depend more on spot demand. However, spot buying remains the weaker link in the current market. The report noted that Bitcoin ETF investors' average holding cost is about $84,340, and with the current price below that level, some investors may choose to sell as the rebound approaches their cost basis.On the macro side, Bitfinex believes inflation and the interest rate environment continue to weigh on BTC. Core PCE inflation is currently at 3%, most Fed officials still expect another rate hike this year, and the U.S. 10-year real Treasury yield is about 2.91%. If this week's core CPI rises 0.2% month-over-month or less, it could reduce market rate hike expectations and push yields lower, providing room for BTC to rise; if core CPI reaches 0.3% or higher, it could continue to suppress risk asset performance.Bitfinex expects BTC may fluctuate in the short term between $81,300 and $84,500. If the price breaks above and holds $84,500 while ETF flows strengthen, the market may retest the $87,722 level seen at the start of the year; if it falls below $81,300 accompanied by continued outflows, it may further decline to around $77,400, the true market mean level.
