I recently saw that Gate’s WCTC S9 Global Trading Competition has opened for registration, with a total prize pool of 6 million USDT. Honestly, that figure is pretty eye-catching.
There’s more than one way to play, so here’s a quick rundown:
If you don’t like forming a team, jump straight into the individual competition, with a 400,000 USDT prize pool;
If you usually trade with a few friends, gather five people to enter the team competition and compete for a 3.2 million USDT prize pool;
There’s also a 1v1 real-time market prediction battle, with a 400,000 USDT prize pool;
Plus carnival benefit

End-of-month macro window: The Fed’s FOMC meeting is scheduled for October 27–28. The dates are known; the decision isn’t. Don’t mistake guessing whether rates will rise or fall for analysis. What matters more is the policy language and how the dollar and Treasury yields react.

Shock! Trapped at the 1560 peak means certain death? $SNDK SNDK’s $111 surge was actually a pump-and-dump trap set by the big players!
Don’t mistake the big players’ smoke screen of bullish bait for a lifeline to break even!
SNDK surged $111 last night, but the current price is barely holding at 1352—worlds away from your cost basis! U.S. optical communications stocks are surging?
It’s all a setup! Good news from overseas markets is just a cover for the big players to dump at high prices! Keep waiting like a fool, and as soon as the rebound stalls, it’ll plunge below 1215, triggering a liquida

JUST IN: Strategy, $MSTR, just bought 267 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 848,517 BTC.
This is Strategy's second-smallest purchase of 2026, after last week's buy of just 250 BTC.
The company is spending far more to buy back its own preferred shares, including $192.4 MILLION last week, roughly 9x what it spent on Bitcoin.

October 19 Heyue $SPCX
📉 Direction: Long
📍 First position: Enter at 147.2-147.5
🎯 Zhiying: 149-152
Above 147.4 is entirely a wall of short liquidations. Whale data is extremely strange: shorts made $8.22 million, while longs are badly trapped! Combined with merger rumors and the bullish news of a stock dividend, large funds have been secretly positioning for 15 days. The main players' intent is clear: first pump the price to liquidate shorts, then turn around and kill longs! Past cases prove that with such an extreme risk-reward ratio, a huge bullish candle with a long wick is inevitable.

Tornado Cash holds $629.7M on Ethereum.
Railgun holds another $109.7M.
Privacy on Ethereum is leaving the vault for apps people already use.
1/ Private Balances
The foundation is letting users receive and hold assets without exposing their entire financial history.
- @fluidkey and @UmbraCash: Stealth addresses for private receiving.
- @RAILGUN_Project: Shielded balances for private DeFi, accessible through wallets like @anondotinc.
- @zERC20io: Token wrapping for unlinkable transfers.
- @Veildotcash: Privacy pools on Base.
2/ Private DeFi
Once assets are shielded, the next step is putting cap

Does this feel familiar?
Bitcoin couldn't get above 83k. If it can't hold above 83k, sideways consolidation could bring another drop.
Looks like closing my long positions today was the right call.
My year-end target of Bitcoin reaching 90k remains unchanged. I want to buy back in at a lower price. Is that okay with you, dear Mr. Bitcoin?$BTC $ETH #Gate发布9月透明度报告

I really can’t understand the extent of consumption downgrading in China these days.
After grilled fish at 9.9 yuan for three jin, we now have beauty services at 9.9 yuan for 70 minutes and 8 treatments!
Is the crypto circle the only place still living in luxury? 😂
I have a feeling we may not be far from the days when 99 yuan lets you enjoy business KTV!

#每周来晒 Roadster hype vs reality: a four-exhibit evidence file on whether the narrative is lasting or fading
Tesla unveiled its redesigned Roadster on October 15, 2026, with production planned for 2028. That single fact frames everything below: markets are trading a future product, not current deliveries. I put the evidence in four exhibits, so the verdict comes from data and not from the headline.
Exhibit A: the stock tried, then gave it back
TSLA closed at $362.44 on Thursday. Before Friday's open it traded at $376.56, up 3.9%, and one tracker showed a premarket high of $378.88, up 4.63%. Then

#LatviaPassesCryptoTaxLaw 🇱🇻 Latvia Moves Forward With Crypto Tax Regulation! 🏛️₿
Latvia is taking another step toward a more structured crypto ecosystem! 📊 Clear tax rules can help improve transparency, strengthen compliance, and provide more clarity for digital asset investors.
🔹 Greater regulatory clarity
🔹 More focus on tax compliance
🔹 A developing future for digital finance
As crypto adoption grows, regulation will play a key role in shaping the industry's future. 🌐
What do you think — will clearer crypto tax rules encourage more investors to enter the market? 👀

#每周来晒
My take: the Tesla Roadster story could keep meme-coin speculation alive, but sustaining a rally is much harder than starting one. The combination of Tesla, SpaceX, rocket propulsion, and the idea of a flying car is almost tailor-made for crypto hype. However, the long-term performance of $FTR, $TSLA, and $SPCX will depend less on the excitement itself and more on liquidity, token-specific catalysts, and whether new buyers continue to arrive.
The key distinction is that a compelling technology story does not automatically create lasting value for a cryptocurrency associated with it.
