BTC is brewing a sharp decline over the weekend, and the soaring XRP financing interest rate indicates risks.

1. BTC still operates at a large scale

Although the recent performance of BTC prices has retreated, the trading volume has not shrunk. The trading volume in the past three weeks is very high, which is the largest trading volume performance in the past year. This means that investors have not lost interest in the low price BTC. From the perspective of the holding cost of investors, the holding cost of BTC investors is more concentrated in the price area below $25000. In the past three weeks, the cost price of the currency held by investors was further concentrated below $22000. Therefore, in the short term, the BTC price hovers at a low level, the adjustment rhythm continues, and it will take longer for the price to leave the bottom area. In other words, the bottom of BTC rebounds to a large arc bottom. The longer the bottom lasts, the more opportunities investors have for low absorption.

2. BTC average transaction inflow growth

The average inflow of BTC remained at a high level. On September 23, the value remained around 0.877, indicating that although the overall value has not increased recently, the average transaction inflow has remained at a high level. This shows that the trend of the main funds flowing into the exchange has not ended. Therefore, the downside risk of BTC's recent low level operation has not been removed. For currency investors, they need to pay more attention to the trend of the market. Although the focus of BTC's currency holdings has decreased significantly, there are not many investors taking the initiative to pull the market, which has little impact on the market.

3. ETH rebounds fruitlessly

The trading volume of ETH during the short-term rebound was not high. Although the price was supported at the early $1200 position, there was little room for growth. Therefore, ETH did not completely get rid of the declining price trend in the declining trend of the daily K-line level. The price trend in the week is still falling, and the possibility of continuing to close down at the weekend is high. On the news side, during the recent completion of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, the retreat of ETH prices significantly linked to the trend of important assets such as the stock market and the dollar index. Therefore, when judging the market performance, negative sentiment still dominates the price direction during the week, and we should be alert to the callback performance.

4. XRP financing interest rate fell sharply

XRP's recent price performance is relatively strong, which is related to the continuous growth of trading volume. The daily K line chart shows that XRP trading volume has increased by as much as 300% recently, driving the XRP price to rebound from a low of $0.3 to a maximum of $0.559, with a maximum increase of 86%.

It is worth noting that XRP shows obvious large-scale adjustment performance no matter in the daily K line or the 30 minute chart. Therefore, XRP's recent price strength may continue. The decline of financing interest rate indicates that the selling pressure is increasing, which deserves investors' attention.

5. Withdrawal of financing interest rate

During the rapid decline of XRP financing interest rate, the value continued to drop to the lowest value of -0.003%. Therefore, it is judged that the selling pressure of XRP has increased significantly, and the impact on the price is also increasing. Although the financing interest rate has reached a new low, the absolute value is not low. XRP prices have just completed the bottom reversal pattern since May, and the growth potential may be further confirmed.

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.
