BSC Trading Bot Volumes Plunges 90% From Last Week Peak

TheCryptoTimesPublicado a 2025-10-18Actualizado a 2025-10-18

BSC-based trading bots have seen their transaction volumes collapse by 90% since last week’s peak, according to on-chain analyst Adam (@Adam_Tehc). 

“That was fast,” he wrote on X, noting that activity across leading platforms like GMGN and Photon has sharply declined. 

He also mentioned that just a week earlier, GMGN processed $500 million in daily volume, matching Photon’s performance during the TRUMP token launch.

The drop follows an intense surge in retail participation and automated trading around newly launched meme tokens and political-themed assets. 

Analysts suggest the cooldown reflects short-term market fatigue rather than a broader decline in interest. Still, it underscores how volatile and cyclical bot-driven trading can be on BNB Chain.

AI bots face similar growing pains

While BSC bots face volume slumps, AI-powered bots across other networks are grappling with platform restrictions. 

Bankr, an autonomous trading assistant that executes crypto trades via social platforms, recently returned to X after being banned from Telegram for allegedly breaching its terms of service. 

The episode sparked the #FreeBankr campaign and renewed discussion over how centralized platforms handle AI-integrated financial tools.

The link between Bankr’s suspension and BSC’s trading slump shows how crypto automation is hitting friction. Regulation, liquidity, and hype fatigue are exposing the limits of unchecked innovation.

Behind Changxin Technology, Stands a Group of A-Share Companies

Changxin Technology, a leading Chinese DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) manufacturer, has passed the review by the STAR Market listing committee, moving closer to an IPO. The company, seeking to raise 29.5 billion yuan, is the first to utilize the new "pre-review mechanism" on the STAR Market, expediting its approval process within five months. As China's largest and most technologically advanced integrated DRAM company, Changxin has achieved mass production of mainstream DDR5 and LPDDR5X products. It holds the fourth-largest global market share and ranks first in China, though it still trails behind industry leaders Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron in areas like HBM technology. The company reported its first annual profit in 2025, with net profit surging to 24.762 billion yuan in Q1 2026, driven by booming AI-related demand. The IPO has drawn significant market attention due to Changxin's extensive and prestigious shareholder base. This includes state-backed funds like the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund II, industrial partner GigaDevice, internet giants (Xiaomi, Alibaba, Tencent), and several securities firms and A-share listed companies such as InfoMotion, Shangfeng Cement, and Hefei Urban Construction, which stand to benefit from the listing. The company's founder, Zhu Yiming, a pivotal figure in China's semiconductor industry who also founded GigaDevice, has committed to an unprecedented long-term lock-up of his shares and a massive personal equity incentive plan worth an estimated over 20 billion yuan for employees, excluding himself, upon listing.

Here’s Why Bitcoin Could Feel The Pressure From Surging US Equity Shorts

Bitcoin's recent pullback toward $75,000 may face further downside pressure due to developments in the U.S. stock market. An analyst warns that surging short interest in U.S. equities, now at historically high levels, could significantly impact Bitcoin. This activity reflects a complex market structure where institutional investors are increasing hedges while maintaining long positions, leading to high leverage. Concentration in AI mega-cap stocks is leaving other sectors vulnerable. Historically, Bitcoin has moved with U.S. equities during risk-off events, like the 2020 COVID crash. While it showed correlation with the S&P 500 from 2020-2022, a divergence has emerged since 2025. Bitcoin's recent volatility has been driven by its own factors like spot buying pressure and ETF inflows, suggesting it may be evolving into a hybrid asset class with its own market dynamics. However, it remains sensitive to broader macro liquidity conditions.

When Vitalik Stops Blogging to Write Sci-Fi

Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, has announced a pause in his long-form technical blogging to instead write a science fiction novel exploring decentralized governance. The story, set in a fictional nation called Veridia, follows a member of a governance body that uses complex systems like quadratic voting, privacy-preserving audits, and AI-assisted decision-making to guide society through incentive structures rather than outright bans. This creative shift comes at a pivotal moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. The Ethereum Foundation has seen significant internal upheaval in 2026, with at least nine core contributors, including key protocol leaders, departing. Just days before his announcement, Vitalik published a statement addressing this turbulence, framing the Foundation as a "smaller ship" that will now focus on core principles like censorship resistance and security, while moving from a growth-oriented to a sustainability-focused organization. The novel's themes directly mirror Vitalik's long-standing technical interests in governance mechanisms. Community reactions are mixed: some see it as a thoughtful exploration of ideas through narrative, while others view the timing—amidst core team departures and a significant drop in ETH's price—as pointedly symbolic. The move is also interpreted as a personal transition, signaling Vitalik's evolving role from a central executive figure to one of many decentralized thought leaders within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Judgment from a Crypto VC: The Final Stop is Here, All Passengers Please Disembark

A crypto VC firm declares the end of the line: the era driven by retail speculation and crypto-native ideology is over. The future belongs to the large-scale, institutional adoption of blockchain technology, stripped of its decentralized ethos. While retail became distracted by memecoins, major institutions—banks, payment giants—entered en masse, recognizing blockchain's unparalleled efficiency for value transfer. Their goal isn't to embrace decentralization but to build proprietary, controlled networks, adopting the technology while discarding its foundational philosophy. This marks the transition from a "crypto industry" to a "digital asset economy"—a foundational layer powering mainstream finance, not a separate rebellion. Trillions in assets are poised for tokenization, but largely through traditional, regulated channels. For builders and investors, the old playbook of launching low-float, high-FDV tokens for retail speculation is dead. The new imperative is to build robust infrastructure that serves institutional needs: compliance, security, and seamless integration into existing financial systems. The real opportunity lies not in fighting this shift but in enabling it, as institutions become the primary conduit for onboarding the next billion users and tokenizing the next hundred trillion dollars in assets. The game has fundamentally changed.

Looking at the Answers Before Submitting the Test? Google Engineer Entangled in Polymarket Insider Trading Case

A Google security engineer, Michele Spagnuolo, has been arrested and charged with commodities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. He is accused of using internal Google tools to access non-public data on search trends for 2025's most-searched personalities and then trading on that information via an associated account ("AlphaRaccoon") on the prediction market platform Polymarket, netting over $1.2 million in profits. A key example involved trading on the rising search popularity of singer D4vd hours after viewing the internal data. Prosecutors traced the funds from the Polymarket account through cryptocurrency swaps and privacy tools, with some proceeds eventually reaching an Italian payment account opened with Spagnuolo's identification. Google stated it is cooperating with authorities and has suspended the employee, noting the misuse of confidential information is a serious policy violation. The case highlights deeper regulatory challenges for Polymarket, which faces scrutiny over user identification and the integrity of trades based on non-public information. Polymarket has stated it is cooperating with U.S. investigators and emphasized the traceability of blockchain transactions.
