Since the October 11 crash, BitMine may have increased its holdings by nearly 380,000 ETH, worth approximately $1.5 billion.

On-chain monitoring data indicates that Ethereum treasury company BitMine may have accumulated a total of 379,271 ETH, worth approximately $1.5 billion, through three purchases since the October 11th crash last weekend. BitMine Chairman Tom Lee, who has previously stated that "Ethereum will become the backbone of the digital economy," stated in an interview with CNBC after the close of trading on Friday that crypto investors are still "licking their wounds" in response to record leverage shocks, but stated that this is not the peak of the cycle, but rather a short-term bottom and will strive to recover.

Industry News

Vitalik published an article introducing the GKR protocol, which can realize fast proofs such as ZK-EVM and zk-ML

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin published a post this morning introducing the GKR protocol. GKR is the core protocol for implementing fast proofs like ZK-EVM and zk-ML. It is suitable for computations involving "multi-layer low-level processing + extensive repeated function applications" (e.g., hashing and neural networks). It eliminates the need for commitments to the middle layer, requiring only commitments to input and output, significantly improving efficiency. By reducing the amount of sumcheck computation per round (e.g., Gruen's trick) and optimizing Poseidon2 batch processing,

Theoretically, the Poseidon hashing overhead is only 15x (compared to 100x for traditional STARKs), and in practice it can be less than 10x. The larger the amount of data, the closer the overhead is to zero.

Grayscale Solana Research Report: Ecosystem Annual Revenue Could Expect $5 Billion; If the Network Grows as Expected, It May Drive SOL Upward

Grayscale, a crypto asset management company, released a research report on the Solana ecosystem, noting that Solana has become a "hosting network" for blockchain applications, with decentralized exchanges like Raydium and Pump.fun being built on Solana. Currently, the Solana ecosystem generates approximately $425 million in monthly fee revenue, implying an annual revenue of $5 billion. So far this year, the average transaction fee on the network has been just $0.02. Furthermore, the Solana ecosystem boasts over 1,000 full-time developers, which is lower than Ethereum but higher than other major blockchain ecosystems.

Regarding Solana's native network token SOL, Grayscale believes that although the token supply is growing at a rate of approximately 4%-4.5% per year, SOL staking users can basically obtain a nominal return of 7%, which means that the actual return can basically be maintained at 2.5%-3%. If the Solana network grows over time, investors can expect the SOL price to rise accordingly.

Paul Atkins, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said at an event in Washington, D.C. that the United States "may have lagged behind by about ten years" in the field of encryption, and establishing a sound regulatory framework has become a top priority to attract innovators to return and promote industry development.

The Bank of England will launch a consultation on stablecoin regulation on November 10th, aiming to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework by the end of 2026.

US regulations require that the backing assets be government debt with an issuance term of three months or less, or bonds with a remaining term of three months or less. Sources added that the Bank of England also plans to allow a wide range of assets backing stablecoins to earn interest to attract issuers.

Jack Dorsey: Bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency, it's a currency

Twitter co-founder and Block (formerly Square) CEO Jack Dorsey posted, "Bitcoin is not crypto, bitcoin is money."

Ansem: From a technical perspective, the market has entered a stage of momentum exhaustion.

Crypto influencer Ansem wrote that a clear SFP (Swing Failure Pattern) can be observed on the weekly charts of XRP, SOL, and ETH, suggesting that the market trend is more like the end of momentum rather than a new bull market. He pointed out that this situation is similar to Litecoin's performance in 2021, and the price of Bitcoin has now fallen below its 2024 high.

Ansem believes that the 10-month-long broad distribution phase may be nearing its end, and the market lacks new narrative drivers. MSTR fell below the 200-day moving average for the first time since peaking in November last year and turned into a resistance level, indicating a weak market structure. He added that unless BTC re-enters $112,000, it will be difficult to change the current bearish view.
