Renowned financial institution Cantor Fitzgerald pointed out in its latest year-end report that the cryptocurrency market may be entering the early stages of a new "crypto winter," which could echo Bitcoin's approximately four-year cycle. However, unlike previous adjustments, this cycle is expected to be less chaotic, more institution-led, and increasingly defined by decentralized finance, real-world asset tokenization, and clearer regulations. The report data shows that the total on-chain RWA value has surged to $18.5 billion this year and is expected to surpass $50 billion by 2026. Although Bitcoin prices may face pressure, the market infrastructure and participants are undergoing profound structural changes, laying the foundation for a more sustainable growth in the next cycle.

Kevin Hassett, the Director of the National Economic Council, urged the Federal Reserve (FED) to cut interest rates immediately. His remarks echo President Trump’s push for more significant rate cuts, and Hassett himself is one of the candidates for the chair of the Federal Reserve (FED). The key test will come on Tuesday when the final annualized GDP rate for the third quarter will be announced. If the GDP confirms strong growth at 3.2%, it will question why the Federal Reserve (FED) is cutting rates amid an overheating economy.

Written by: Nishil Jain Compiled by: Block unicorn Preface ICO is back, and various Launchpads are flocking in to get a share of the pie. In October, Coinbase acquired Echo and launched its token sales platform earlier this month; in September, Kraken partnered with Legion. Meanwhile, Binance has a close relationship with Buildlpad, while PumpFun is attempting to issue utility tokens through Spotlight.

The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) project Infinex officially announced the Sonar Token sale plan, aiming to complete $15 million in financing before the token generation event (TGE) in January 2026. This sale will release 5% of the INX token supply at a fully diluted valuation of $300 million, continuing the momentum of last year's $67.7 million Patron NFT sale. Founder Kain Warwick stated that Infinex is committed to creating a "crypto super application" encompassing wallets, DEX aggregation, and perpetual trading. This token allocation specifically sets aside exclusive quotas for Patron NFT holders and a public lottery channel, aimed at achieving broader community participation. With Coinbase's completion of the $400 million acquisition of its parent company Echo, Sonar will promote the decentralization process of token distribution under an independent operational framework.

Author: Yangz, Techub News After experiencing two consecutive "Black Friday" crashes, Bitcoin has nearly erased the gains of the past six months, and the market has plunged into a bone-chilling cold. However, the warming forces seem to be coming from all directions: from the continued warming of expectations for interest rate cuts in December to the successive approvals of various altcoin ETFs, this wave of warmth has now extended to the state-level "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" (SBR) in the United States. Early this morning, Lee Bratcher, chairman of the Texas Blockchain Association, announced that the state has officially launched a Bitcoin Reserve Program and has completed its first purchase of a $5 million BlackRock Bitcoin Spot ETF (IBIT). At this moment, the cold market sentiment seems to have heard the crisp echo of ice cracking.

Author: Yogita Khatri Compiled by: Deep Tide TechFlow Last month, Coinbase acquired the angel investment platform Echo, founded by the well-known crypto trader Jordan "Cobie" Fish, for about $375 million. Following this, last week, Coinbase launched its own public token sale platform, primarily targeting retail users in the United States. This series of actions clearly indicates a shift in Coinbase's business strategy. I spoke with Coinbase, competing platforms, venture capital firms, and founders to explore the driving forces behind this shift and the direction for future development.

Author: Anthony Pompliano, Founder of Professional Capital Management Compiled by: Golden Finance The price of Bitcoin has plummeted about 30% from its historical high of $126,000 set on October 6. Since the beginning of this year, the increase in Bitcoin's price has dropped to negative values, with less than 1% increase over the past 12 months. Unsurprisingly, Bitcoin holders are very disappointed with the asset's performance. The public sentiment on the internet is perhaps the most negative I've remembered. However, anecdotes from the internet can be misleading. Platforms like Reddit or X might just be echo chambers. So, what exactly does the data tell us? The following five charts explain what is happening. 1. The last time Bitcoin was at this price, global liquidity was $7 trillion lower than it is now. First, Ze

Author: Gu Yu, ChainCatcher The crypto world of 2025 is witnessing an unprecedented wave of mergers and acquisitions. From DeFi protocols to asset management firms, from payment companies to infrastructure service providers, new M&A events occur almost daily. Kraken acquired futures trading platform NinjaTrader for $1.5 billion, and Coinbase recently made consecutive moves to acquire derivatives exchange Deribit and on-chain fundraising platform Echo. According to RootData, the number of crypto M&A deals in 2025 has reached 143 so far, setting a new record and representing a 93% increase compared to the same period last year. Why are industry giants so eager to pursue acquisitions amid a sluggish market? What impact will this accumulation of M&A activity have on the market? 1.

In October 2025, the Crypto Assets industry experienced a record wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, with a total of 21 significant transactions recorded, bringing the annual total to 144 M&A events, doubling compared to the previous year. This wave signifies that the industry is accelerating its shift towards asset integration and regulatory maturity. Among these, a major US CEX acquired Echo for $375 million to enhance trading infrastructure, another mainstream CEX acquired SMALL Exchange for $100 million to expand the derivation market, and Modern Treasury acquired Beam for $40 million to strengthen the encryption payment system, highlighting institutional interest and strategic shifts.

In October 2025, the Crypto Assets venture capital market rebounded, with a monthly trading volume reaching $5.11 billion, marking a restoration of investor confidence. The United States led the financing, favoring mature projects, with Coinbase's acquisition of Echo and AI projects receiving 32% of the funding. However, NFT and gaming projects cooled off, and investment logic shifted towards fundamentals. Policy improvements supported a calm and positive development in the market.

In October 2025, Crypto VC announced 75 venture capital projects with a total financing amount of $4.556 billion. CeFi and AI projects are dominant, with Ice investing $2 billion in Polymarket, Coinbase acquiring Echo, Kalshi raising $300 million, and Daylight Energy raising $75 million, among others.

Recently (around October 20, Eastern Time), Amazon's cloud services experienced a large-scale outage, which severely affected many blockchain systems in the encryption ecosystem, and even Ethereum was not an exception. According to relevant data, approximately 37% of the nodes on the Ethereum mainnet are hosted on Amazon Cloud, thus these nodes have also become victims of this downtime incident. The offline status of these nodes has also affected the performance of the Ethereum mainnet. So many people online began to echo: "The decentralization of Ethereum is fake." Such events and their potential consequences were a frequent topic of discussion in the early encryption ecosystem. I remember reading quite a few articles on this subject when I first entered the encryption ecosystem. The predecessors at that time had already provided clear explanations on such issues, so during that era, these questions did not evoke such a response. As time passes, perhaps the predecessors of that year have already left this ecosystem, or...

According to Bloomberg, Fight Fight Fight LLC, a company associated with Donald Trump, is in talks to acquire the U.S. operations of the crowdfunding site Republic.com. If the deal goes through, Fight Fight Fight may encourage investors to trade using Trump-associated tokens, while also helping encryption startups with on-chain financing. This potential acquisition comes after a leading CEX in the U.S. acquired the on-chain fundraising platform Echo for $375 million, and it signals that the institutionalization process of the on-chain capital market in the U.S. is accelerating under the increasingly friendly regulatory environment for encryption startups during the Trump administration.

Cobie is an important figure in the crypto world. He entered the industry in 2012 with an investment of $200 and has experienced the ups and downs of the market. His investment platform Echo was acquired by Coinbase for $375 million. His story reflects the development of the encryption industry, from idealism to market bubbles, and then to long-term persistence and transformation.

Despite the deleveraging adjustments in the market in October, the investment and financing environment in the encryption industry remains robust. Data from DefiLlama shows that in the past week, 11 encryption companies successfully raised $99.6 million, pushing the total fundraising amount for 2025 so far to nearly $22 billion, significantly exceeding the total amount of $11 billion for the entire year of 2024. Institutional investors such as Galaxy Ventures and Codebase expect that the total investment amount this year will surpass $25 billion.

1. Multicoin: Attention Assets and prediction market In recent years, the cryptocurrency sector has given rise to a new type of asset—assets that measure value by attention.

Written by: Chloe, ChainCatcher Reprinted: White55, Mars Finance Since the end of last year, the long-silent ICO market has revived. Driven by the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, the Trump administration's crypto-friendly policies, and a new bull market, public token sale platforms have once again become the focus of attention for project teams, retail investors, and stakeholders. In this new cycle, the once-leading ICO platform CoinList has gradually faded in this wave, replaced by emerging platforms such as Buidlpad, Echo, and LEGION that have rapidly risen. Taking Buidlpad as an example, it helped four projects complete public offerings and all listed on Binance within just one year since its launch, with participants receiving nearly 10 times the returns at most, clearly having completely replaced.

MegaETH has chosen a very retro fundraising method that promotes equality for everyone.

After many years of dominance thanks to venture capital, Coinbase is reviving the idea that crypto projects can raise funds directly from users. The US-based exchange announced on October 21 that it has acquired Echo, the crowdfunding platform founded by veteran investor Cobie.

Cobie – one of the biggest icons of crypto culture – has just made a significant mark by selling the on-chain fundraising platform Echo to Coinbase for 375 million USD. Not long ago, Coinbase also acquired the NFT "UpOnly" – a legacy tied to his famous podcast program – for 25 million.
