Bitcoin at $80K: Can BTC Survive Wall Street’s Growing Fear?
The cryptocurrency market is approaching a critical turning point as Wall Street’s latest technology-led selloff raises fresh concerns about global risk appetite. Bitcoin remains near an important psychological support zone, while Ethereum and major altcoins continue to face resistance. At the same time, persistent inflation concerns and uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policy are making investors more cautious.
The biggest question heading into the new trading week is simple: Can Bit

France is going after stablecoins too
In the future, profits from crypto trading
Could be taxed even when you swap into USDC
Holy shit
Guys
France's move here is pretty harsh
On October 16, local time
The French National Assembly voted 38 in favor and 37 against
Passing a tax amendment targeting crypto-asset conversions into stablecoins
Do you know how harsh this proposal is
The proposal is set to take effect on January 1, 2027
And tax qualifying conversions of crypto assets into certain stablecoins
At France's current capital gains tax rate of 31.4%
Pay attention
Guys
It's the qualifyin

Solana Stablecoin Transfers Hit 557M in September, Up 33% MoM
At The real signal is not just higher activity-it is Solana tightening its grip on stablecoin payment throughput, with 18.6 million daily transfers putting network usage back at the center of the on-chain liquidity trade. Near term, watch whether this transaction momentum persists and translates into sustained demand for Solana-based applications; longer term, stablecoin settlement share is becoming a key scoreboard for which chains capture real-world transaction flow.
557 million stablecoin transfers in September, up 33% month-over

$SAND Up 15% in a day, with 24-hour trading volume jumping straight to 247 million—several times the usual level. People in the group who haven’t gotten in are still asking if they can chase. I’m a discipline-first trader, so I’ll just say this: the grass on the graves of those chasing pumps is already three meters tall.
The current 0.0650 level is awkward, sitting just below the 24-hour high of 0.0661. This is where sentiment is most euphoric and the risk-reward is worst. The money flow is clear: volume swelling to 247 million means major players are changing hands. The price has climbed all

🥜 Venezuela’s peanut harvest nearly doubled in one year, from 8,585 to 16,725 tons, according to the Ministry of Productive Agriculture and Lands.
All commercial production—100% of it—comes from a single area: the Mesa de Guanipa in Anzoátegui. That’s 1,450 hectares planted, yielding 4,000 kilos per hectare. A strength and a risk at the same time: any weather or logistical problem in that eastern region affects the entire sector.
But behind the agricultural figures is a question we at PitbullChain know well: What currency are Venezuelan farmers paid in today?

Warsh’s IMF Speech: Inflation, Interest Rates, and the Future of Crypto Markets
The global financial market is watching closely as Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh discusses the forces shaping the world economy at the IMF’s annual meetings. With inflation remaining a major concern, his remarks have attracted attention from investors across traditional financial markets and the cryptocurrency industry.
On October 16, 2026, Warsh participated in a fireside chat with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in Bangkok, Thailand. He highlighted the resilience of th

$USD1 uses price-volume confirmation to find opportunities, with levels and exit lines here
$USD1 There is a very typical debate right now: one side points to the 24-hour -0.00% change as proof of direction, while the other counters with key levels. I’m not taking sides based on the price move for now, because $USD1 has already moved, but trading activity and volume haven’t followed through, so they haven’t provided a complete answer. We can tentatively trust the direction, but not its continuation; a move without anyone following through could be reversed at any time.
My view is that the dire
