BREAKING: $ASTER BUYBACK $1.4M
Aster (@Aster_DEX) will use the remaining funds of 1.4M $USDT from Stage 6 Strategic "Buyback Reserve" to buy back token $ASTER for 14 days, starting on: October 15, 2026.
Details of the $ASTER purchase:
Total funds: 1.4M $USDT
Period: 14 days from October 15, 2026
Daily buyback: +100,000 $USDT
Good news:
This buyback is conducted outside the regular biweekly program funded by 99% of platform fees—so this is an additional buyback.
All transactions are conducted on-chain and can be publicly verified.

In September 2026, total passenger car retail sales reached 1.618 million units,
New energy passenger car retail sales reached 1.084 million units, accounting for 67.0%, a historic high,
Fuel-powered vehicle retail sales reached 534,000 units, accounting for 33%.
I haven't seen any friends around me buy a fuel-powered vehicle in a long time.🥲

🧧 SOUTH KOREAN STOCKS IN FREEFALL: BUY THE DIP OR WAIT FOR THE BOTTOM?
Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and the KOSPI have suffered a brutal correction. But when leading semiconductor companies lose billions in market value within days, one important question emerges: Are investors witnessing a rare buying opportunity, or is this the beginning of a deeper downturn?
My view is cautiously bullish over the longer term, but I would avoid aggressive buying until the market shows stronger signs of stabilization. The opportunity is real, but timing and risk management matter.

$SNDK has once again reached the key resistance level of 1460. As I said before, Sandisk’s key support is at 1400 and key resistance is at 1460; 1420 and 1450 are not very important.
It is currently stuck in the 1400–1460 range. If it breaks above 1460 on strong volume, Sandisk will soon rise back above 1500. If it falls below 1400, the support level may need to be moved to 1375. At 1375, there is still a chance of rebounding back to 1400; if it falls further, things will be difficult, and it may enter a deep correction.
Which do you think will happen first: a break below 1400 or a break abov

I feel the U.S. stock tokens given by Surf NFT are just an appetizer
The returns from the U.S. stock tokens distributed to everyone by the 6666 NFTs come from $SURFBOARD and NFT trading fees, plus royalties from the NFT secondary market, so the returns depend entirely on trading activity
As for fee income, I’m not holding out too much hope
But I probably won’t sell mine
The logic is simple: the official positioning of the NFT is as Surf’s native ecosystem asset
Let me translate the phrase “native asset”

The Era of Running Naked On-Chain Must End: Why Privacy Coins Alone Are Not Enough
[Plain-Language Guide] This article provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of on-chain privacy from “private currencies” to “programmable intent privacy.”
It highlights Covenants, a new cryptographic primitive launched by Nillion, and demonstrates its potential applications in scenarios such as sealed-bid auctions and confidential transactions.
