What Are Stablecoins? Are They Really Stable?
In the cryptocurrency market, stablecoins are often used for trading, transfers, and asset settlement.
Unlike highly volatile crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, stablecoins are typically pegged to fiat currencies such as the US dollar, with the aim of keeping their prices relatively stable.

Stablecoins typically maintain price stability through different mechanisms, which mainly include the following type

10.26 Midday Market Outlook.
$BTC View:
BTC spent the whole day grinding sideways but still failed to reclaim and trade above 81000. Since it can't get back above that level, it may as well retest the previous low again! BTC is now pulling back after breaking below the 80172 support and is retesting the previous low at 79170. After BTC broke below 80172, an hourly M-top pattern was confirmed, indicating that a pullback is needed at this timeframe. Next, watch whether the previous low at 79170 can hold. If it does, a potential hourly double bottom may form, but it would not yet be a confirmed

Lido Expands Ethereum Validators With 32 ETH Operator Bond
Lido activated the 0x02 Community Staking Module (CSM) on October 23, opening permissionless access for Ethereum validators with effective balances up to 2,048 ETH. The module is live, with initial capacity targeting roughly 32 seed deposits and larger allocations governed by activation, cap increases, and protocol inflows.
Under the new route, operators bond 32 ETH for the first validator key and 30 ETH for each additional key. Lido supplies the validator stake separately, so the operator’s bond and the protocol’s initial deposit serv

Actually, it’s raining both inside and outside the door.
It’s just that you went to the effort of running outside.
The cost you paid shapes your psychological perception, so you feel like the rain outside is lighter.
Just like how your position determines your viewpoint.
Letting go of the bias from your position/cost (sunk costs) is the first step toward first-principles thinking.
P.S. Hong Kong’s air quality is pretty mediocre too… ughhhh…

A strange argument:
If you wear a short skirt, you should accept that you might flash people, rather than call men creeps.

Strive’s latest Bitcoin move is bigger than a single purchase. It shows how aggressively the company is expanding its BTC treasury and why the next announcement deserves attention. But the key question is not simply whether Strive buys more Bitcoin. It is whether that growth can translate into stronger Bitcoin exposure per share without creating excessive financing costs or dilution.
Between October 12 and October 16, 2026, Strive acquired 4,045 BTC for app

Unitree Technology surged 12% this afternoon! JPMorgan upgraded it to Overweight
The same investment bank changed its rating on Unitree from “Underweight” to “Overweight” in just four weeks.

But this weekend, the bank changed its tune: after the founder said breakthroughs in physical AI could be just 1–2 years away, it upgraded the stock by two

$DOS Up 23% in 24 hours, now at 0.2888—just a hair below the daily high of 0.2894. Should you chase here? I’ll give you the verdict straight.
First, my position: $DOS I entered with half a position around 0.2650 and am currently up about 9%. I’ve already moved my stop loss to the 0.2680 breakeven level. Yes, I’m the one who watched it climb from 0.22 and entered after the pullback was confirmed—not someone chasing the pump halfway up.
Here’s the trading plan. Copy it if you can:
Coin selection logic: 24h trading volume of 32.4M alongside a 23% gain means volume and price are moving together. T
