Native Bitcoin Collateral on Aave Triggers WBTC Pool Deficit
Babylon Labs’ Aave V4 proposal for a native Bitcoin lending market keeps collateral on Bitcoin while using wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) to settle liquidations immediately. Suppliers financing those payouts would face any shortfall without a funded backstop.
The design, detailed in an Oct. 14 Request for Comment, separates fast liquidation from the slower redemption of Bitcoin collateral. When a position becomes liquidatable, an outside liquidator repays the borrower’s debt through an adapter. The seized vault is then sold to the BTC Vault

Are Overvalued Storage Stocks the Key to This Round of Pullbacks?
Previously, AI computing power became a major theme in the capital markets, and memory chips, high-performance flash storage, and data center hard drives also attracted investor interest. As stocks such as Kioxia, SanDisk, Western Digital, and Seagate have pulled back one after another, the market has begun to reassess a question: Was the previous rally built on actual earnings, or overly optimistic expectations?
AI development does indeed require large amounts of data storage, but investors cannot simply equate demand growth wi

AI has just found the vulnerabilities, but the people fixing them have to bring in another thousand workers. So much for helping people save some effort.
Bank of America asked AI to help identify software security vulnerabilities, using models including Mythos from AI company Anthropic. According to the bank’s CEO, the models found a large number of vulnerabilities, and the bank wanted to fix them as quickly as possible, so in the second quarter it brought in 1,000 outsourced engineers to assist its existing approximately 3,000 employees.
That’s a little awkward: it used to be hard to find pro

The Nasdaq 100 fell 5.5% this week, its worst week in a year and a half.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, is down just over 1% for the week, now at $81,500.
A few days ago, I said Bitcoin was being sold off along with tech stocks. Looking at the longer view this week, it actually held up better than tech stocks.
The key is what exactly the US stock market is afraid of this time.
This time, it’s not that AI is failing—it’s that AI has borrowed too much.
There’s a company called CoreWeave that rents computing power to AI companies. It fell 25% this week, simply because it has more than $51 billion in debt. A

The bear market lasted 260 days.
This surge from 60 to 85k means we're now in recovery phase.
However, as always, the market is slow. There is no crazy bull run coming, there is no magic institutional money coming.
Everything takes time and will take time. And usually, bull phases last longer than bear phases.
Now I'm not surprised if we liquidate early longs with another move below 70-75k and then get the real jump past 100k in 2027.
Patience.

ETF outflows, rising liquidations: Check the methodology before looking at direction.
On October 16, BTC spot ETFs saw total net outflows of approximately $10.0249 million, including about $8.7353 million from IBIT and $1.2896 million from FBTC. Another liquidation dashboard showed approximately $315 million in total liquidations over the past 24 hours, with about $209 million in long liquidations and $106 million in short liquidations.
These figures reflect changes in fund flows and leveraged positions, but they cannot be used alone to infer price direction. Liquidations are the result of for

The most unusual thing in today's market is that the Fear and Greed Index is still in the greed zone at 55, while $SOXLB plunged 10.64% in a single day, with the price at 94.58 trading close to the Bollinger lower band at 90.83, showing a clear disconnect between sentiment and price. This is characteristic of a catch-up decline amid broad-market moves: when BTC weakens, high-volatility, small-cap coins are often sold first. Technically, MA5=94.512 has fallen below MA20=95.6025, turning the moving averages bearish; RSI=34.7 is approaching but has not yet reached oversold territory; the only bu

After the Pullback in Storage Stocks, When Is It Time to Reposition?
After the storage sector’s consecutive declines, the question on many investors’ minds is: Should we buy the dip now or keep waiting? In my view, the long-term demand case driven by AI has not automatically disappeared just because stock prices have fallen in the short term. But being bullish on the industry over the long term does not mean stocks are worth buying at any price.
I would wait for three key signals. First, clear fundamental support, such as companies maintaining growth in orders, revenue, and profits, with manag

Google Willow’s breakthrough raises new questions about Bitcoin’s long-term security.$BT Bitcoin has weathered market crashes, regulatory pressure, and countless technological challenges. But a new development in quantum computing has once again brought a question about long-term security into focus.
Could future quantum computers threaten Bitcoin’s earliest wallets? What did Google discover? According to a report published by CoinDesk on October 16, Google’s Willow quantum chip demonstrated a method that can reduce errors by about 40 times when preparing special quantum states called “magic

#BTC UPDATE: It is currently trading around $81,700 and is finding support at the current support zone. If it successfully holds this support, we can expect a pump from here, and it may soon hit $84,000–$85,000. Otherwise, in case it dumps and breaks the support, we can expect a further decline in Bitcoin. Keep an eye on it 👀
