Odaily reports: On-chain analytics firm Glassnode says long-term holders hold roughly 4 million BTC with a cost basis between $85,000 and $118,000, most of which was purchased in 2025. At Bitcoin's current price, these holdings are worth approximately $326 billion, and holders are currently facing losses.

Glassnode defines long-term holders as addresses holding coins for more than 155 days, and notes that the $84,000–$85,000 range has pushed Bitcoin back four times this year; since January, Bitcoin has closed above that range on only 5 days. Glassnode says that if prices recover to the relevant cost basis range, some holders may choose to sell to break even.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF holdings have an average cost basis of about $81,500–$82,000. Glassnode says ETF holders' average unrealized loss as of Monday was about $2.63 billion; the estimate only tracks fund flows and does not include the purchase costs of secondary-market buyers. (Decrypt)

Odaily — David Woodcock, Director of Enforcement at the U.S. SEC, said in an interview that the SEC is closely monitoring fraud and securities violations in prediction markets, with insider trading and market manipulation being the primary concerns, and that enforcement actions in this area are expected in the future. He noted that trading in prediction markets tied to key performance metrics or earnings data of public companies may fall within the SEC's regulatory scope. Currently, prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket's U.S. operations are primarily regulated by the CFTC.

Odaily Report: Canadian AI model startup Cohere is conducting a large-scale funding round, with a valuation of $20.5 billion, roughly tripling from a year ago. Cohere said on Thursday that it has completed the first tranche of this funding round, with total funding expected to reach up to $5 billion. The company stated that it has received investment commitments from investors including the Canadian government and NVIDIA, in addition to the $600 million investment previously disclosed by European retail giant Schwarz Group. Among them, the Canadian government has agreed to invest up to $1.14 billion in Cohere.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney stated that Cohere plans to keep its headquarters in Canada and is expected to build new computing infrastructure in the country by 2030, with an investment of approximately $1.2 billion. If this funding round is successfully completed, it will become the largest private fundraising in Canadian history, far exceeding previous records. Cohere declined to disclose how much of the $5 billion funding target has been finalized, but the Chief Financial Officer said the first tranche has covered "the majority" of it. This valuation does not include the funds raised in this round. (Bloomberg)

Odaily reports that Axis Robotics has issued a statement saying that the AXIS tokens sold off between October 28 and 29 did not come from team or investor allocations. The core team, investors, and all other locked allocations together account for 83.5% of the total supply and remain in vesting contracts co-managed with Binance. The tokens sold in this instance came from the initial circulating supply outlined in the published tokenomics model, specifically from the "ecosystem" allocation. Because many ecosystem participants are not crypto-native users, their allocations were delivered through a single over-the-counter (OTC) counterparty, and the written agreement signed by both parties includes lock-up provisions.

Odaily reports: Alphabet says demand for its cloud services is growing rapidly, as reflected in the increase in its "backlog" (i.e., cloud service contracts not yet fulfilled). However, more than one-third of that quarterly growth came from a joint venture in which the company holds a stake. This disclosure appeared in a quarterly filing submitted on Thursday. The filing outlines the AI-related risks Alphabet faces, which extend beyond what the company discussed on its earnings call the previous day. In addition to the more than $1 trillion in purchase commitments, future lease payments, and other obligations disclosed by the chief financial officer on the investor call, the filing also lists approximately $98.5 billion in contingent commitments—obligations the company may need to assume under certain conditions. That amount is up about $23 billion from the previous quarter. These commitments include guaranteeing data center lease payments, supporting partners in procuring power equipment, and, under specific circumstances, potentially repurchasing AI chip systems from customers.

Odaily reports: Prediction platform Polymarket has launched five-minute cryptocurrency up/down betting contracts on its regulated US platform. The platform is operated by QCX LLC and regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Traders can bet on whether assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP will close above or below their starting price within five minutes. Correct predictions pay $1 per share, while incorrect ones pay zero, with a structure similar to binary options, lowering the barrier to short-term derivatives trading. The product launch comes as the CFTC is re-examining whether Polymarket complies with the terms of its 2022 settlement and is looking into customer protection measures on its US platform. (CoinDesk)
