Мессенджер Bitchat стал спасением для жителей Ямайки во время урагана

cryptonews.ruPublicado a 2025-10-16Actualizado a 2025-10-30

Жители Ямайки массово скачивают децентрализованное приложение для обмена сообщениями Bitchat после того, как смертоносный ураган Мелисса обрушился на Карибы. Сильнейший втер нарушил работу обычных каналов связи на острове.

Bitchat поднялся на второе место в чартах загрузок

Приложение Bitchat, созданное Джеком Дорси (Jack Dorsey), сейчас занимает второе место по загрузкам в Apple App Store и Google Play в Ямайке. Это приложение использует Bluetooth-сети для зашифрованного общения без интернета, предоставляя спасательный круг для 2,8 млн человек в условиях, когда интернет в регионе продолжает давать сбои.

Bitchat опережает только платформа прогнозов погоды Zoom Earth. Это показывает, что две самые базовые потребности ямайцев сейчас — узнать, какая будет погода, и поддерживать связь друг с другом.

CNN сообщил в среду, что ураган Мелисса унес жизни более 30 человек на Карибах, включая как минимум 23 человека на Гаити. Огромное количество домов и предприятий было разрушено.

От борьбы с цензурой к помощи в катастрофах

До недавнего времени популярность децентрализованных зашифрованных приложений для обмена сообщениями росла из-за пользователей, покидающих централизованные платформы, которые могут подвергать контент цензуре или вводить другие ограничения.

Однако с тех пор Bitchat стал критически важным решением для людей в странах, где доступ к интернету нарушен — будь то из-за вмешательства правительства или стихийных бедствий.

В сентябре загрузки Bitchat выросли в Непале из-за правительственной коррупции и запрета социальных сетей. В стране заблокировали Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp и YouTube, что вызвало массовые протесты. В Индонезии на фоне протестов наблюдалась та же картина.

Похожий случай произошел на Мадагаскаре в том же месяце во время протестов из-за продолжающихся отключений воды и электричества.

Европейский союз рассматривает спорный закон

Европейский союз подумывает ввести спорный закон «Chat Control», который устранит зашифрованные сообщения, заставляя такие приложения, как Telegram, WhatsApp и Signal, позволять регуляторам проверять сообщения до их шифрования и отправки.

Предложение, направленное на выявление материалов о жестоком обращении с детьми, в октябре уже могло быть принято, но Германия не выразила свое несогласие, утверждая, что проверка личных сообщений противоречит конституции.

Голосование по этому закону отложено, следующее голосование назначено на начало декабря.

MORPHO tests key resistance after Solana launch—Will the breakout hold?

Morpho (MORPHO) has officially launched on the Solana network, with trading now available on DEXs like Raydium and Jupiter. Following the news, the token's price surged 8.34% in 24 hours, accompanied by significant increases in trading volume (105%) and Open Interest (18%), indicating strong short-term bullish momentum. This aligns with a recent forecast setting a $60 price target for MORPHO. Technically, the token has been consolidating within a range, approximately between $1.64 and $2.28, since April. A recent 43% rally from June 23 has pushed the price to test key resistance. While the RSI supports the upward move, the Accumulation/Distribution indicator suggests underlying selling pressure remains. Although a bullish breakout appears to be forming, analysts urge caution. The price has attempted to break out of this range twice since May, only to reverse back toward the $1.60 support level each time. For a confirmed bullish trend, a daily close above the late-May swing high of $2.42 is needed. Traders are advised to wait for this confirmation or have clear exit strategies, as the current $2.20-$2.42 zone represents a critical supply area that could trigger another reversal.

The First to Ride the Hype of Robinhood Chain: Arbitrum, Up Nearly 20%

ARB rose nearly 20% recently, becoming one of the top-performing major L2 tokens. The catalyst was the launch of Robinhood Chain, an RWA-focused Layer 2 built on Arbitrum's Orbit tech. A key driver is the revived "Arbitrum Expansion Program" (AEP), a revenue-sharing rule from 2024 requiring independent Orbit chains to give 10% of their net protocol revenue to the Arbitrum ecosystem. While smaller chains already paid this, Robinhood Chain, with its significant TradFi backing, is the first large-scale tenant to make the mechanism economically meaningful. Despite impressive early metrics (over 35k addresses, $2.5B TVL, $1B+ DEX volume in its first week), Robinhood Chain's current contribution to Arbitrum's treasury is minor (~$14.7k net revenue). The price surge reflects a narrative-driven premium on AEP's future potential, given Robinhood's vast off-chain assets. The situation mirrors Optimism's "landlord" model with OP Stack, which is now facing a decline as its major tenant, Base, plans to leave. Similarly, analysts question if the high-earning Robinhood Chain will eventually follow Base's path and seek independence from Arbitrum's tech stack, especially as its activity already benefits Ethereum more directly through ETH fee burns.

US Stocks Are at an Extremely Fragile Moment as Earnings Season Kicks Off

U.S. stocks are entering a high-stakes earnings season amidst what analysts describe as an "extremely fragile" market environment. While major indices show subdued volatility, underlying pressures from geopolitics, monetary policy expectations, and mixed credit market signals are building. UBS's proprietary "Turbu-lens" market fragility indicator has reached 0.9, its highest level since September 2025, historically a precursor to a sharp spike in the VIX volatility index. The risk is amplified by elevated earnings expectations. Analysts project robust profit growth for Q2—24% for the S&P 500 and 12% for the Stoxx 600—but recent upward revisions mean disappointment could trigger outsized market moves. Current low VIX levels are seen as misleading and temporary, with the earnings season likely to push volatility higher. Market internals reveal significant stress, with single-stock volatility exceeding index volatility by more than threefold. This divergence suggests a potential convergence that could drive a sharp rise in index-level volatility. Given likely continued sector rotation, UBS suggests single-stock options may offer better tactical hedging opportunities than broad index hedges. Further pressures stem from rising oil prices, which threaten to keep inflation and interest rate expectations elevated, and a cautious credit market where CDS spreads have not confirmed the equity rally's strength. For investors, UBS recommends focusing on pair-wise correlation trades to navigate expected stock-specific volatility, highlighting sectors like Tech, Energy, and Financials in the U.S. and Energy, Tech, and Consumer Discretionary in Europe.

US Stocks Are at a Time of 'Extreme Fragility' as Earnings Season Begins

U.S. stocks are in an "extremely fragile" state as earnings season begins. Despite low index-level volatility, internal pressures are mounting due to geopolitical tensions, monetary policy expectations, and credit market signals. UBS's market fragility indicator, "Turbu-lens," has reached 0.9, its highest level since September 2025, historically a precursor to sharp VIX spikes. High earnings expectations for Q2—24% for the S&P 500 and 12% for Europe's Stoxx 600—amplify the risk of market disappointment. While the VIX is currently low, this calm is seen as temporary and likely to rise with earnings reports. Notably, single-stock volatility is over three times higher than index volatility, indicating extreme internal market divergence. This gap is expected to narrow, potentially triggering a surge in broader market volatility. Rising oil prices near $80/barrel maintain inflation concerns, keeping the Federal Reserve cautious and pushing 10-year Treasury yields toward 4.6%. Credit markets also show caution, with CDS spreads not fully endorsing the recent equity rally. For hedging, UBS suggests single-stock or pair-wise correlation trades in sectors like U.S. tech, energy, and financials, and European energy, tech, and consumer discretionary, as index-level hedges may be less effective amid expected sector rotation during earnings.

Will Maple Finance [SYRUP] extend rally as TVL hits $2.2B? THESE metrics say…

Maple Finance's SYRUP token rallied 14%, driven by strong fundamental growth. The protocol's assets under management hit $4.6 billion in H1 2026, an 81% year-on-year increase, while total value locked (TVL) surged past $2.2 billion. A key driver is the recent launch of syrupUSDG on Robinhood, which saw over $200 million in inflows. On-chain data shows about 18% of SYRUP's supply is staked, tightening market availability. Additionally, the protocol reported strong yields, outperforming industry benchmarks. A proposed revenue-linked buyback program could further support the token's value, with buybacks scaling up to 30% of monthly revenue if it exceeds $2 million.
