The CLARITY Act has been stalled in the Senate, and White House official Patrick Witt has also left after his term expired.
New SEC Chairman Paul Atkins hurriedly posted on X to fill the gap, saying he would take over and continue advancing the crypto regulatory framework.
Honestly, this is quite a show.
On the surface, Atkins stepped forward to reassure the market, but the more I look at it, the more something feels off—
The legislation just hit a dead end, key White House positions are rotating, and the SEC suddenly stepped up to say it wants to build a comprehensive regulatory structure. Ho

The macroeconomic fog has lifted, revealing a landscape of stark contrasts: stubborn inflation, resilient crypto assets, and a speculative frenzy fueled by legacy brands.
The release of the U.S. September Producer Price Index (PPI), which surged well above expectations, has abruptly shifted the narrative from "soft landing" to "sticky inflation." This data point is not merely a statistical adjustment; it is a fundamental challenge to the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory. With producer costs rising, the pressure on consumer prices is inevitable, forcing mark

Rising BTC dominance could mean more pressure on altcoins in the short term.
Will alts hold their ground, or is another dip coming?

10.19 SOL Market Analysis
Short: around 105.80-106.30, stop-loss at 107.50, targets 104.50/103.50.
SOL is currently at 105.45. It has climbed all the way from 100.36, gaining more than 5 points, and peaked at 105.79. This rally has been the strongest among the three major coins.
The sharp rally pushed upward along the moving averages with barely a pause. Now it is right below the previous high of 106.54, in the 105.80-106.30 range. After such a strong rally hits resistance at the previous high, it’s clearly not a good idea to chase longs, as there are too many short-term holders looking to tak

Aave Stablecoin Backstops Shrank $12.4M as Reward Rates Rose
Aave’s tracked Ethereum V3 Umbrella USDC and USDT stakes fell $12.43 million between the September 17 and October 17 observations. Capital multiplied by displayed extra rates implied about $1.994 million annualized at each endpoint, separate from realized spending. Umbrella stakes cover deficits in their own asset and network, with a DAO-funded offset before stakers absorb losses.
Aave’s two tracked Ethereum V3 stablecoin backstops shrank by $12.4 million between Sept. 17 and Oct. 17 even as their extra reward rates increased. Togeth

One-time declaration mechanism helps resolve historical tax issues
An important part of Latvia’s tax reform is a one-time declaration channel for eligible existing crypto assets. According to information published by parliament, individuals may declare relevant crypto assets held as of December 31, 2026, and pay tax of 10% based on their market value on that date. The declaration period runs from April 1 to May 31, 2027.
This arrangement has practical significance. In the past, some investors may have faced difficulties declaring assets due to incomplete records of early transactions, difficul

Latvia Passes New Crypto Tax Law: What It Means for Investors and the Market
Latvia has approved a new law that updates how cryptocurrency is taxed, and it is one of the more practical regulatory moves we have seen from a European country this year. Crypto tax rules have long been a source of confusion for ordinary holders in many countries. People who bought assets years ago often do not know how to report them, which gains are taxable, or what documentation they need. When a government steps in with a clear framework, it reduces that uncertainty, and that is the co

Finally, buyers are starting to return. After heavy selling pressure, these three assets are showing signs of recovery. $SND : 1,323.29 (+5.01%)
$SPC : 147.29 (+1.70%)
$SKHYNIX : 937.60 (+4.49%) Buying near strong support after a sharp correction may offer better opportunities than chasing prices at the highs. But a single rally doesn’t confirm that the trend has fully reversed. We still need to see whether buyers can hold these gains. The best opportunities often come when everyone else is fearful. Would you buy this rebound or wait for another pullback?
