Mars Finance reports that on October 7, CoinDesk analyst Krisztian Sandor said that Tom Lee, chairman of Ethereum treasury company BitMine, stated at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore that the company will stop buying once its ETH holdings reach 5% of the circulating supply. It is currently about 100,000 ETH short of that target. The company most recently disclosed that it holds 6,016,414 ETH, accounting for approximately 4.9% of the circulating supply and valued at about $15.5 billion based on Wednesday’s price. BitMine increased its ETH holdings by approximately $41 million last week. If it maintains this purchasing pace, it is expected to take another six to seven weeks to reach the 5% target. The company also holds $643 million in cash and marketable securities, which at the current price is more than enough to complete the remaining purchase

Investors are focused on the thinking behind the Fed’s rate hike last month, particularly the extent to which the FOMC minutes discuss the “credibility hike” framework. BMO strategist Ian Lyngen said the prevailing view is that rates are being raised to maintain credibility, rather than solely in response to the data. If the minutes show broad discussion of this framework, the path of future rate hikes could be more gradual, in line with Williams’ remarks. The minutes will also weigh the dual mandate of full employment and price stability, helping assess the willingness to continue raising rates and whether a September hike was a one-off action.

Europol warns that quantum computing poses a threat to the encryption industry: exposed public keys could be used to derive private keys, requiring a phased migration to post-quantum cryptography and stronger key management. Wallets with publicly exposed public keys should transfer their funds before an attack. Quantum signatures may be 10 to 120 times larger than those used by current ECDSA, putting pressure on block space and increasing fees. Another report warns of the “harvest now, decrypt later” risk, with confidential government and corporate data most likely to become targets.

Mars Finance reported on October 7 that a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran and the United States have held no negotiations regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. The United States and Iran disagree over Iran’s nuclear program. The official said that the United States must first meet Tehran’s conditions before the nuclear issue can be discussed. Iran will never give up its right to enrich uranium, but the details of enrichment can be discussed later. The official said that the United States’ recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium is Tehran’s red line. The official also described remarks by U.S. Vice President Vance about Iran’s nuclear program as the U.S. side’s “ideas and demands.”

The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services widened to $105.6 billion in August, while imports reached a record high of $420.8 billion and exports edged up to $315.2 billion. Imports of capital goods surged to $146.4 billion, driving import growth, as demand for advanced semiconductors and AI data center-related equipment remained strong. Analysts said tariffs are unlikely to significantly curb total imports, as consumer spending and business capital expenditures continue to provide a strong offset. In the short term, the surge in imports may weigh on third-quarter GDP, but private consumption and capital expenditures could keep annualized GDP growth above 3%.
