A lot of people like to talk about the “stablecoin sandwich” mentioned in the latest BIS research, but there’s a significant amount of misinformation being spread, and many people aren’t explaining the full scope of what this research actually reveals..
… and I think it’s important that we address this because there’s so much more to the document than one section.
The BIS itself acknowledges that stablecoins are NOT a complete solution to cross border payments.
Why?
Because transferring a stablecoin across a blockchain does NOT eliminate the underlying problems..

$CRCLB has risen from 80 to 86.36, up 5.98% in 24 hours, but 1-hour trading participation is only 0.03x. This makes me more inclined to believe this breakout may be just a short-lived technical rebound rather than a trend-driven rally. On the 1-hour chart, the price is already approaching resistance at 86.65, but trading volume has not picked up noticeably, which means this move could quickly lose momentum.
If the price can decisively break above 86.65 and hold above that level, my view may change. But for now, low participation makes this rally look unreliable. Do you have more confidence in

2026-10-20 21:19 UTC. Building on successful mean-reversion hits from our previous setups, ENA/USDT swept both sides of its range before stretching into upper exhaustion around 0.19738. Trading currently above our SHORT ZONE (0.196359 - 0.196653 USDT), we look for price to retrace toward equilibrium at the TARGET ZONE (~0.194536 USDT), while baseline demand protects the LONG ZONE (0.191044 - 0.191338 USDT).
TIA/USDT (SHORT: 0.636044 - 0.636862 | LONG: 0.621268 - 0.622086 | TARGET: ~0.629266).

$USD1 's 24-hour result is -0.00%, but the result is neither a cause nor a forecast. What can be confirmed now is 0.99976, 0.06x volume, and weakness on the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes.
One verifiable update: Gate's official announcement says, “Gate to Upgrade BTC-M and USD1-M Perpetual Futures (October 21, 07:00 – 07:30, UTC).” It can explain why some people are paying attention, but it cannot tell us which way the price will go.
The easiest mistake here is assuming that a steeper drop automatically means it's cheap, or that a rebound automatically means a reversal. I treat oversold condition

NU7 activation is in the final stretch, $ZEC rebounds 6.6% but remains stuck in a death cross
$ZEC rebounded to 1126.64, 24h +6.6%, making a lively show—but at this level, I’m bearish. The rebound is handing short sellers an entry.

The decision to activate the NU7 upgrade on mainnet is just around the corner. A recovery in macro sentiment has lifted $ZEC off its lows, but has the market bought in? From 1123.61 to 1126.16, it only moved +0.23%—the buzz hasn’t translated into money at all.

The daily RSI is 42.0, still stuck in weak territory. The MACD death cross below the zero line formed

$SPCXB Has Approached Resistance; One Final Confirmation Is Still Needed for a Breakout
Today, $SPCXB , the current price is 151.8, up 2.36% over 24 hours, but resistance at 152.56 is still there. This resistance level doesn’t count as cleared just because price touches it; after moving above it, price needs sustained buying support before we can discuss the 4-hour resistance at 152.56. For now, it’s only a test, not a breakout.
My view: price has reached the threshold, but touching, breaking through, and holding above it are three different things.
Testing, breaking through, and holding above

I'll take it.
A win is a win.
