Abstract

BTC's short-term volume rose sharply, and the bulls entered the market.

1. BTC turnover shows signs of shrinking

The BTC price obviously did not fall back after the drop in volatility, but continued to rebound in large quantities. Although there is little room for growth, it is indeed a rare bullish signal in the near future. In terms of pressure level, BTC rose by more than 20000 US dollars, which is just below the closing price of the previous 4-hour K-line decline. Before the closing of BTC on September 13, a decline of 7% appeared in the 4-hour chart, indicating that the pressure level was sold strongly. The short-term strength of BTC this time can be said to be a technical rebound in low price areas. Whether we can further expand the growth space depends on the confirmation of indicators.

2. The position of BTC contract transaction rebounded

In contract trading, BTC investors' long and short currency holdings rebounded significantly. On September 27, the value reached around 1.162, a new high in more than a year. This shows that in the process of short-term price rise, the strength of bulls and shorts has changed significantly, and the influence of bulls on the market has increased rapidly.

In terms of position, BTC's total contract position rebounded to USD 9.26 billion on the 27th of the 9th page, an increase of USD 870 million compared with USD 8.39 billion the previous day. The position rebounded rapidly, and BTC entered an active trading state.

3. ETH horizontal arrangement

The K line chart of ETH day shows that the price has rebounded obviously, but it is still fluctuating in the neighborhood. The small change in trading volume means that the rebound strength of ETH brewing is not high. At present, the performance of the overall mainstream currency is consistent with that of ETH. Although it has experienced a full callback, the reversal intensity is weak, and further attention should be paid to the trend of bulls.

4. The number of ETH receiving addresses is abnormally low

The number of ETH out of the exchange rebounded, especially in the performance of the top ten transactions out of the exchange, which indicates that the main short-term protection has achieved good results. On September 27, the first 10 transactions out of the exchange reached 3297 ETHs, which means that the selling pressure has dropped and the strength of bulls is rising rapidly, which is synchronized with the rebound of 8% of the ETH price in 24 hours.

5. LUNC is strongly lifted

The 4-hour K-line chart shows that LUNC's short-term growth has reached 67%, and the synchronous volume shows that the main force is driving up LUNC's price. From the perspective of the volume and price performance after the increase, LUNC has significantly reduced its volume and collated sideways, which means that the energy of high selling is not high, forming a significant support for the price.

The number of coins held by the top 10, top 20, top 50 and top 100 also rebounded significantly, with the proportion rebounding to 11.38%, 15.92%, 25.43% and 34.36%. From the data on September 27, the growth rate reached 4, 4 and 3 percentage points respectively compared with that on September 21. Considering the short-term stability of LUNC's main currency, the price may remain strong.

When Transfers Become Truly Frictionless: How Sui Uses 'Zero Gas' to Become the Underlying Infrastructure for Stablecoin Payments

Title: Sui Launches Zero-Gas Stablecoin Transfers to Become the Foundation for Stablecoin Payments Sui has introduced a zero-gas fee feature for peer-to-peer stablecoin transfers, eliminating the need for users or businesses to hold separate SUI tokens to pay transaction costs. This innovation, built on a new underlying account architecture called Address Balances, significantly reduces validator processing costs for eligible transactions. Currently, the feature applies to a whitelist of stablecoins for transfers meeting a minimum amount, effectively preventing spam. This development aims to unlock mainstream payment use cases for stablecoins—such as everyday purchases, remittances, and subscriptions—by removing cost and complexity barriers. It is also positioned to benefit high-frequency micro-payments for AI agents and institutional B2B payments, reducing operational friction. Major custody provider Fireblocks has already announced support. The move follows Sui processing over $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume since August 2025. Looking ahead, Sui plans to enhance this infrastructure with protocol-level confidential transactions later in 2026, aiming to provide scalable, free, and privacy-preserving payments. Together, these advancements strengthen Sui's goal of becoming the default settlement layer for stablecoin payments.

Ethereum Is Retracing the Path of the Internet and Linux: No One Yields, and the Neutral Party Ultimately Prevails

This article argues that Ethereum is following the historical path of open, neutral systems like the Internet and Linux, which eventually triumphed over proprietary, centrally-controlled alternatives. Major financial institutions like JPMorgan, Stripe, and Circle are building their own proprietary blockchains or networks (e.g., Tempo, Arc), but will never agree to build on a competitor's controlled infrastructure. This creates the perfect opportunity for Ethereum as the only neutral, credibly neutral settlement layer that no single entity controls. The piece draws parallels to the 1990s, when experts like Bill Gates predicted proprietary networks (from Microsoft, Oracle) would win over the open Internet, and when Sun Microsystems' Unix lost to the open-source "bazaar" development model of Linux. This model, described in Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," thrives on permissionless innovation where countless contributors improve the system, outpacing any centralized competitor. Ethereum embodies this through its decentralized development, broad validator distribution, and credible neutrality—rules that are transparent, equally applied, hard to change, and open to all. This has attracted over a million developers and major institutions like Coinbase, BlackRock, and JPMorgan, who choose Ethereum for its security, ecosystem, and sovereignty (the inability of any single party to change the rules). While proprietary chains offer initial speed and control, they inherit the downsides of both centralization and decentralization without the long-term innovation benefits. The article concludes that, just as open systems historically win, Ethereum is poised to become the foundational, neutral settlement layer for global finance.

Kalshi's Biggest Rival is Not Polymarket

Kalshi's CEO Tarek Mansour has identified the company's primary competitors not as the crypto-based prediction market Polymarket, but as established financial and gaming giants: CME Group, Robinhood, and DraftKings. This reflects a shift in the prediction market landscape, where the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to bring massive new trading volume. Traditional platforms are increasingly integrating prediction markets as a feature within their existing ecosystems. Robinhood has seen rapid growth with its prediction markets, contributing significantly to its "other transaction revenue." Similarly, Interactive Brokers (IBKR) integrates contracts from Kalshi and CME Group, while DraftKings and FanDuel (via CME) have launched their own prediction products. This allows these firms to leverage their vast user bases and infrastructure at low marginal cost, turning prediction markets from standalone apps into embedded functionalities. In response, prediction market platforms are evolving along two paths. First, they are expanding into new event categories like sports (e.g., the World Cup) and financial data to reduce reliance on election cycles. Second, they are moving towards becoming infrastructure and liquidity providers for distribution platforms. Kalshi's lead over Polymarket in trading volume is partly attributed to this channel strategy, integrating with brokers like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Webull. However, this strategy faces a challenge as distributors like Robinhood begin building their own in-house prediction market capabilities (e.g., Rothera), potentially threatening the value of pure infrastructure providers. The situation parallels historical tech battles, such as Zoom competing with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, where embedded features in larger platforms reshape market dynamics. The future of standalone prediction market leaders like Kalshi and Polymarket will depend on their ability to navigate this new competitive landscape dominated by integrated financial and gaming titans.
