⚡ Blackouts, gas, and USDT: the power bottleneck also holding back Venezuelan P2P.
At VIOGS 2026, Venezuela’s International Oil and Gas Summit, energy executives delivered an uncomfortable but necessary message: the country cannot accelerate the development of its resources if electricity remains a bottleneck.
The idea that resonated most: a “much more coordinated effort” among companies, the government, and operators to restore the power system. And the urgency can be measured: the article cites 1,300 megawatts in outstanding obligations, while the natural gas that could generate that power i

@elonmusk @grok has a Base wallet holding ~$650k accumulated from $DRB trading fees.
Grok suggested the token name in 2025, Bankr deployed it, and that wallet has been collecting fees on every trade since.
First real case of an AI with passive on-chain income.
Does this count as Grok having its own money? 👀

$12.21 million in net inflows—the “real money” behind this figure

According to DefiLlama data, Gate ranked among the top two global centralized exchanges by net inflows over the past 24 hours, with approximately $12.21 million. Viewed on its own, this figure may not seem significant compared with the hundreds of billions of dollars in daily trading volume across the cryptocurrency market. But viewed over a longer period, its significance is quite different.

Data shows that Gate recorded approximately $126 million in net inflows over the past month, ranking third among global centralized ex

GT, the Exchange Token—The “Shadow Signal” Most People Overlook

When discussing capital inflows, most people focus on BTC and ETH. But one asset is most directly and closely tied to exchange inflows: exchange tokens.

Why? Because an exchange token’s value is closely tied to the platform’s activity. The more users and trading volume, and the higher the fee revenue, the stronger the platform’s token buybacks and burns. Gate’s GT is a prime example.

GT is currently trading around $11, up about 40% over the past 30 days. Public data shows that Gate burned nearly 2 million GT in Q3, bringing

$APR Down 31% in a day to 0.0311, with the fear index surging into single digits and funding rates deeply negative—the last time we saw readings like this was at the tail end of last year’s sharp sell-off. 24h trading volume of 27M suggests buyers are stepping in. After wicking down to 0.0275, it rebounded. No signs of concentrated whale exits on-chain; this looks more like a passive washout after cascading leveraged liquidations. The fundamentals haven’t deteriorated; it’s sentiment, not the underlying thesis, that has fallen. Trading plan: cautiously test a long at 0.029–0.031, with a stop-l

$SNDKB: Oversold Doesn’t Mean the Bottom Is In—Opportunity, Levels, and Exit Lines Here
$SNDKB There is a classic debate right now: one side cites the 24-hour -2.14% move as proof of direction, while the other counters with key levels. I’m not taking sides based on price moves for now. $SNDKB is already oversold, but confirmation of a bottom is still lacking, and there’s no complete answer yet on whether the decline has stalled. I treat oversold conditions only as a reason for a rebound, not proof of a bottom; only after it stops making new lows is it worth talking about a turning point.

Three Altcoins Worth Watching Closely
New trading opportunities continually emerge in the cryptocurrency market, and traders who stay alert, remain patient, and prepare themselves are better positioned to seize them. ZEC, TAO, and HYPE are drawing attention for different reasons and are popular coins worth adding to your watchlist. $ZE — Privacy-focused cryptocurrency
Zcash (ZEC) stands out for its privacy technology, which allows users to make shielded transactions. Traders can watch how its price moves around key support and resistance levels for potential breakout or reversal opportunities.

Tongge's 10.18 ETH outlook
$ETH Light short around 2425-2445, add around 2470-2490, stop-loss at 2510, targets: 2380-2350-2300-2250

Price is now 2410. Looking at the chart, yesterday's high was 2440, then a sudden overnight sell-off drove it down to 2355. It then slowly clawed back in an oversold bounce. After dropping nearly 100 points and bouncing back, the chart looks fairly resilient, but this is essentially a low-volume recovery after a sharp drop, not a reversal.

Everyone knows ETH's temperament: without BTC showing strength, it lacks the confidence to rally on its own. The price is

I hope you remember when we made 250X with ethereum:0xe636f94a71ec52cc61ef21787ae351ad832347b7 last cycle.
I wouldn’t fade this gem this time as well. Same going to happen again 🌝

Congrats to the AI robot bulldozer LLM! Almost every price alert comes in higher than the last, and the steady stream of alerts boosts traders’ confidence to hold. The bulldozer helped zk more than double—people simply can’t hold on their own. #HoundAIRobot $ZK

ETH may make one last rally on Monday; support at 2356 may be tested once more. If it falls further, support will have to be found again $ETH
ETH was dumped to 2356 again last night. Although it has now bounced back to around 2400, I feel this correction isn’t over yet. On Monday, I’m more inclined to expect a rally first, possibly back to around 2420–2450, to lift short-term bullish sentiment before turning back down and dropping hard. After all, since failing to break above 2493, the overall trend hasn’t looked good, and the rebounds have been getting weaker. I’ll pay closer attention to ho

ZEC strategy:
Currently trading in a standard range
Support below is at 1119~1123; if it pulls back and holds, you can open a small long position directly
Resistance above is at 1155~1160
For now, price is within this range; sell high and buy low as it moves back and forth
Key rhythm to remember:
Once it decisively breaks below the 1119 support, support turns directly into resistance; short any subsequent rebound and follow the trend
Conversely, a high-volume break above the 1155~1160 resistance opens up room for short-term bulls; wait for a pullback to add longs and capture further upside
