deBridge delivered another strong performance! I’ve always felt that cross-chain infrastructure is a sector that quietly makes money. We’ve talked about deBridge’s 0-TVL architecture many times before, so I won’t go into it again. Here’s a quick update on its Q3 report card:
$1.9B in volume isn’t surprising. What is surprising is that $500M+ came from same-chain meta-aggregation, which automatically compares multiple aggregators to find the best price. Users are starting to use it for more than just cross-chain transfers.

If Zhu Yuanzhang’s big break had never come, he’d have been nothing but a beggar. “A gentleman keeps his tools close and waits for the right moment to act.” Sharpen your blade and wait for your tailwind. Dog coins, wild coins, memes—people get rich in every sector, and every sector charges tuition. I’ve walked the exact same path. Looking back, many of my losses came down to stubbornly fighting in areas that weren’t my strength. It took losing money before I finally understood: finding your own strike zone is a thousand times more important than learning ten new skills.

99% of buybacks in the industry are all talk. A project that actually uses 100% of its protocol revenue to buy its own token on the secondary market, never sells, and has been buying continuously for 16 months—$DBR is one, a cross-chain protocol whose cumulative trading volume just surpassed $25 billion. Monthly trading volume has risen for three consecutive months, and protocol revenue exceeded $680,000 in September alone. That’s incredibly rare in this industry. ❚ First, let’s look at the growth, because $25 billion is why I’m writing about it this time -

Also bullish on $BNB ? There are two ways to play it: spot, or crypto stocks going head-to-head with the existing PvP altcoins, picking up the structural discount before institutions have finished building their positions.
Last night, $BNC changed leadership and launched a BNB node.
Share price: $4.67; value of crypto held per share: $7.10.
Still trading at 66 cents on the dollar.

$XPL 's October 25 could be more serious than most people think
A bunch of tokens—ZRO, KAITO, SOSO, H, and XPL—are all unlocking this week. XPL's 227 million tokens are only worth $17.9 million, so it doesn't look scary.
But hear me out ⬇️
Previously, XPL unlocked 88.9 million tokens each month, all from the ecosystem pool, at a steady pace.
Starting on 10/25, tokens from the team, investors, and public sale all start unlocking together, and monthly unlocks jump to 2.27

This XRP vulnerability has shattered my illusions about altcoins. A leading major cryptocurrency with a total market capitalization of nearly $100 billion and more than ten years of operation has relied on the core narrative that its “total supply is fixed at 100 billion.” Yet that narrative was left hanging by a bug hidden for nearly 11 years. A single transaction could have created approximately 18 trillion XRP out of thin air—184 times the total supply. If a security company hadn’t uncovered it with AI and reported it in advance through a bug bounty program, allowing...

【During the crash, let’s see what institutions were buying yesterday】 Citrini’s crypto basket has neither BTC nor ETH
Before the downturn, Citrini Research became famous for publishing the “2028 Global Intelligence Crisis” AI doomsday report. Now, it has released a new piece, “Breaking The Wall,” discussing Agentic AI × crypto × traditional finance. The article reveals their crypto holdings and allocations.

BTC surged to 87,000 overnight, and the timeline is getting restless again. Many people have started looking at opportunities in the secondary market again. Someone in the group said, don’t just focus on the major coins—take a look at Sun’s TRX, JST, and SUN, and you’ll discover a somewhat uncomfortable fact. I looked into it, and it really is uncomfortable. TRX has a market cap of 32 billion, ranks No. 8 globally, and is only 20% below its all-time high. By comparison, the vast majority of altcoins are far from their ATH

【Little-known facts from the top 10 crypto projects by annual revenue】 CoinGecko just released a 2026 ranking of on-chain protocol revenue. The top ten generated more than $1.6 billion combined, with Hyperliquid alone taking in $429 million. The numbers are huge, and at first glance, they’re pretty encouraging: the crypto industry finally has legitimate revenue. But when you break down the top ten, the picture changes... 6 make money by charging you trading fees: Hyperliquid

A note to $GSTOCK: a man hurt by 4stock:native. Over the past two days, amid the genius fun discussion, the question causing the biggest stir on Twitter seems to be: who should we actually be paying attention to, $GSTOCK or $BNC ? On one side, people believe GSTOCK is the main character of this market cycle. genius fun had just launched when CZ’s 👏 brought the entire platform into the crypto world’s line of sight, and GSTOCK was the earliest to emerge and the most recognizable flagship.

Recommended reading—no wonder it’s Pro. BlockBeats’ comprehensive overview of StockFi is spot-on, connecting the entire on-chain stock landscape from trading and lending to derivatives. The same Lego pieces DeFi has been playing with for years are now being moved over to stocks and reassembled. Looking at it through this lens makes things much clearer. $UNI and $CAKE benefit from trading volume, and volumes are still increasing after the SEC’s innovation exemption, giving them the highest level of certainty.

After TapeOut went viral, I started wondering: What exactly is this kid doing? Beyond that, the hardest question for TapeOut to answer is probably why the world needs these machines at all. What initially drew people in, of course, was the highly shareable story: a very young programmer building a CPU and running Linux on BNB Chain, then releasing something new every few days.

ARC originally had a chance to turn the tide in one move. Such a fumble—or is it that elitism just can’t understand the community’s sentiment? I no longer hold any memecoins on the ARC chain.
48 hours ago, an excellent piece of brand-building material emerged organically on the Arc chain. An anti-racism stance, spontaneous support from core community members, and the person involved receiving the tokens but refusing to cash out and instead giving back to the community.

CLARITY Act, why didn’t it pass? It passed the House with 294 votes and passed the committee 15:9. Republicans made 126 changes at the Democrats’ request, and even the White House had signed off on the final version. The result was 49:50, 11 votes short of the 60 needed to begin formal debate. The bill with the highest level of consensus in the history of the U.S. crypto industry fell at the final step. Why? Because Trump made too much money from cryptocurrency?
