BTC investors' money holding cost decreased, and the trading volume shrank for the first time.

1. BTC turnover shows signs of shrinking

In the process of narrowing the price fluctuation space of BTC, although the cumulative decline has not significantly expanded, the market is on the eve of the change. As the trading volume retreats from its highest level in two years, the short-term trading volume shrinks, which means that BTC will change its position during the downward movement of the closing price. From the closing point, BTC's closing price on each trading day has been declining in recent years, apparently effectively falling below the lowest closing price of 18970 US dollars on June 18. At the same time, the focus of BTC investors' currency holdings has obviously retreated, and the current volume and price do not support the rapid rise of BTC.

2. The number of ETH sending addresses rebounds

The number of active addresses of ETH has not changed much. During the period of small rebound, it is mainly due to the growth of the number of sending addresses. From the numerical point of view, the number of sending addresses rose to a short-term high of 321000 on September 24. Although the number rose, it was lower than 425000 on September 17. This shows that the number of ETH sent by investors is gradually decreasing. The gradual decline from 799000 on August 26 means that the market is in the period of adjustment.

3. The number of ETH receiving addresses is abnormally low

The number of receiving addresses of ETH is unusually low, which means that there is less adjustment to participate in the short-term transfer or transaction of ETH. Different from the number of sending addresses, the number of receiving addresses of ETH decreased, and fell back to the lowest of 131000 within one year on September 25, which means that OTC investors continue to reduce their market entry transactions, and the market adjustment expectation remains unchanged. Consistent with the trend of BTC, ETH's recent amplitude is small, but the closing price has been retreating, and the adjustment expectation remains unchanged.

4. XRP price short-term adjustment

In the 4-hour K line chart, during the short-term retreat of XRP price, the price rebounded obviously under the Bollinger line. In terms of trading volume, the trading volume remained stable during the short-term continuous decline, and the selling pressure was effectively released. At present, the short-term pullback is dominated by low suction. Judging from the recent price trend, the support of US $0.45 and US $0.4 during the release of selling pressure can be properly paid attention to. On the message side, XRP

The news shows that the lawsuit between the Swiss currency and the SEC will probably be decided in December. At the same time, the market expectation is generally optimistic about XRP's judgment in the near future, which makes XRP's price fluctuate strongly in the near future.

On September 18, Ripple's defense lawyer James K. Filan said on Twitter that Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, had filed a motion for summary judgment in advance.

The next day, Caroline D. Pham, a member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, talked with Brad Garlinghouse. It was previously reported that Ripple and the SEC had asked the court to resolve their ongoing legal disputes.

The encryption community is optimistic about the possibility of compromise because Ripple Labs claims that there is no investment contract. Therefore, the summary judgment motion is considered a prudent strategy that may lead to a settlement with the SEC.

5. XRP's main currency holding and distribution

In terms of coin holding, the number of coins held at Whale's address has continued a clear downward trend recently, while XRP prices rose and fell in the same period, indicating that the spread of coin holding does not support the price rise. The number of XRP's top 10, top 20 and top 50 coins held in Xihong Temple decreased from 73%, 75% and 78% on August 28 to 72%, 74% and 77%, and the currency holding divergence trend was clear. Therefore, in terms of trading, in addition to focusing on the overall market strength and XRP litigation results, attention should be paid to adjusting risks in recent low absorption buying.

Snap, Unprofitable for Nine Years, and a Decade-Long AR Obsession Without Return

Snap's AR Obsession: A Decade of Betting Against the Odds On June 16, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel unveiled the new AR glasses, Specs, priced at $2,195, causing the company's stock (SNAP) to plummet nearly 10%. The launch was met with intense criticism online, with investors questioning why a consistently unprofitable company would stake its future on an expensive product its core young user base can't afford. Snapchat, known for pioneering features like ephemeral Stories and popular AR lenses (like the iconic dog filter), has a history of innovation often copied by rivals like Instagram and Meta. Despite this, it has struggled to translate first-mover advantage into commercial success. Since its 2017 IPO, Snap has reported annual net losses, with a Q1 2026 loss of $89 million. Its stock is down 94% from its 2021 peak, hampered by iOS privacy changes, competition, and a young demographic less attractive to major advertisers. In this challenging context, Spiegel is doubling down on AR. He calls 2026 a "crucible moment," having recently laid off 16% of staff while reportedly investing over $3.5 billion cumulatively in its AR glasses line over nearly a decade. The new Specs represent a significant leap from the 2016 camera-focused Spectacles, offering true AR overlays, gesture control, and standalone operation. However, at $2,195, it faces tough comparisons. While more advanced than Meta's $799 Ray-Ban smart glasses, critics point to its heavier weight, short battery life, and features largely replicable by a smartphone. Facing pressure from investors to cut losses on the Specs project, Spiegel has refused, framing it as essential to Snap's long-term vision. The company finds itself in a paradoxical position: cutting costs while heavily funding a decade-long, unproven bet. Some see Specs as an awkward but necessary step in AR's evolution, akin to early mobile phones. Whether Spiegel is a visionary outlier or a gambler destined to fail remains an open question, highlighting the tension between long-term ambition and short-term market demands.

Annualized Revenue Exceeds $20 Billion, Kalshi Aims to Become the First Prediction Platform IPO?

Kalshi, a leading U.S. prediction markets platform, is reportedly in early, informal discussions for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company's annualized revenue now exceeds $2 billion, fueled by its dominance of over 90% of the domestic prediction market activity. This growth stems from a surge in trading volume—reaching a total of $52.7 billion—and an increase in fee rates, largely driven by sports event contracts like the NBA playoffs and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Monthly active users are approximately 2 million. Kalshi recently raised $1 billion in a funding round led by Coatue Management, valuing the company at $22 billion. It has also expanded its offerings to include Bitcoin perpetual contracts and plans to launch a dedicated trading platform, Kalshi Pro. However, Kalshi's path to an IPO faces significant regulatory hurdles. The core risk involves jurisdictional conflicts, as multiple U.S. states are challenging its operations under local gambling laws. For instance, Arizona has filed criminal charges against the platform, while states like Kentucky have filed lawsuits. Kalshi and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) argue that its event contracts fall under exclusive federal jurisdiction as "swaps." The outcomes of these ongoing legal battles could critically impact Kalshi's core revenue and its IPO timeline. Analysts suggest that while an IPO could theoretically occur by late 2026, a more likely timeframe is late 2027 or 2028, contingent on resolving legal issues and favorable market conditions. If successful, its fundraising could significantly exceed $1 billion, given its current valuation and revenue multiple.

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.
