According to Odaily, the current ETH staked accounts for 29.39% of the total supply, while spot ETFs and Ethereum DATs hold 5.66% and 4.88% of ETH, respectively. Combined, these three hold 39.93% of the total ETH supply.
Additionally, this week, the Kingdom of Bhutan announced it would build its national identity system on Ethereum. However, the country currently does not hold any ETH. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that the national reserve may join the bidding for Ethereum. (Cointelegrph)
Odaily Planet Daily News: Thomas Mathews, head of Asia-Pacific markets at Capital Economics, said in a report that political uncertainty in Japan is unlikely to drag down the country's bonds and stocks, and may even bring a short-term boost. Despite the split between the long-term ruling coalition, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party, the market has remained largely indifferent. Mathews pointed out that investors may expect that the turmoil will be short-lived and that the newly elected head of the Liberal Democratic Party, Sanae Takaichi, will eventually become prime minister - this is also the basic scenario expected by Capital Economics. He added that although if policy uncertainty persists, it may weaken the market's interest in Japanese assets, it will ultimately depend on the impact on the economy. However, if the government becomes more divided, it may pose risks in the long run - especially if it hinders corporate governance reforms that help improve profitability. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Scott Helfstein, head of investment strategy at Global X, said the Federal Reserve could still cut interest rates in October and December, but investors should be prepared for a range of outcomes as Fed Chairman Powell is trying to keep all options open. Helfstein said that reports before the government shutdown showed that inflation was driven by tariffs, housing, and utilities, and that the Fed's interest rate policy had limited impact on prices in these areas. He said this could give the Fed room to continue cutting interest rates even if overall inflation remains above target. (Jinshi)

According to previous news, Upbit will launch the YGG Korean won trading pair.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, Yi Lihua stated that while the long-term outlook remains positive, short-term risks remain. Following the expected interest rate cut last night, the market did not rebound strongly. High leverage in the short term is not appropriate for both long and short positions, and investors should continue to wait for opportunities once the market clears up. Platforms should shoulder greater responsibility and take more measures to balance and protect users. Improving awareness and strengthening risk management are core competitive advantages.
