BTC’s market structure is improving, but further gains will require support from spot buying demand, according to Xwin Research Japan. The firm said rising ETF inflows, buying by large-scale investors, and sizable buy walls suggest institutions and whales are absorbing market supply. It added short-term holders have moved back into profit, improving investor sentiment. At the same time, Xwin Research Japan said selling pressure remains, with Binance’s BTC holdings staying elevated at 685,000-687,000 BTC and the seven-day average net inflow to exchanges rising to about 593 BTC. The firm added even long-dormant holdings are starting to move, making it critical whether future spot demand can absorb the supply coming to market. If that supply is absorbed, the likelihood of a move above $82,000-$83,000 could increase.

Spain’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bit2Me, has established a specialized unit called Bit2Shield to help judicial and investigative authorities trace and seize crypto assets, CoinDesk reported. Bit2Shield supports the tracing and seizure of crypto tied to crime, cold-wallet custody and sales, and also provides fraud investigations, fund-origin verification, and training for police, judges, and banks. Bit2Me previously handled seized cryptocurrencies worth €1.5 million ($1.6 million) for Interpol, Europol, and Spanish police in 2025. It used Chainalysis to track the assets, converted them into euros, and delivered the proceeds to authorities, according to CoinDesk.

Nine Swiss financial and payments companies, including UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum and Raiffeisen, have begun sandbox testing for the use of a Swiss franc-pegged stablecoin, with SIX and TWINT joining recently. The test uses CHFD, a Swiss franc stablecoin pegged one-to-one with the CHF that has been operating since late June. Participants are assessing potential uses for programmable payments, including automated interbank transactions, tokenized-asset settlement, online commerce fraud prevention, ticket transactions and public fund disbursements. The testing is set to continue through the end of 2026, and a decision on whether to launch an actual CHF stablecoin has not yet been made.

Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany party won 43.8% of the vote in the Saxony-Anhalt state election, which could strengthen its influence in political debate over crypto tax reform even though the result does not directly change federal tax law, Cryptopolitan reported.

It also opposes bringing individual mining and Lightning Network node operations into the scope of business taxation.

Layer-1 blockchain Cronos said about $9.19 million stolen in the Aug. 30 exploit has not been recovered so far.

Japan’s San-in Godo Bank said it is formally reviewing a new fundraising model using digital securities with NTT Data and Securitize Japan. The bank is first considering a plan under which it would act as the issuer and issue and sell bond-type security tokens. If an actual issuance goes ahead, it would likely mark the first case of a Japanese regional bank directly issuing and selling bond-type security tokens. The three parties also plan to review ways to expand the model to regional companies and local governments, as well as to other regional banks using NTT Data’s shared system for regional banks. However, the project remains under review, and no final decision has been made on whether an issuance will proceed.

Recent gains in Zcash (ZEC) appear closer to speculative buying driven by market narratives than to growth in actual network usage, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun said. He said ZEC’s large market capitalization does not mean it has proven value commensurate with that position. Wang added that ZEC’s ranking alongside Solana and Hyperliquid by market cap does not mean it serves the same role as those networks. In his view, ZEC has not delivered results consistent with a top-10 market cap network, citing what he described as unfair token issuance, team compensation disproportionate to performance, prolonged operational conflicts and a vulnerability that existed in a private pool for four years. Wang said Solana and Hyperliquid each have their own points of criticism but have secured real use cases, while ZEC has only seen price gains tied to exchange listings and a short squeeze and should not be equated with real-world usage.

The Rollup host Andy claimed, citing a source, that the U.S. SEC has approved fund tokenization for a major asset manager. Fidelity, ARK Invest, and BlackRock are seen as possible candidates. The firm could issue and trade fund interests themselves as onchain tokens, while also supporting transactions linked to the underlying assets. Andy said the information recently obtained was more specific than before and argued the rumor was likely true. No official announcement has yet been made by the SEC or the asset manager involved.

Shinhan Securities suggested investors need to broaden their portfolios beyond stocks and bonds to include commodities and digital assets. Park Woo-yeol, a senior researcher at Shinhan Securities, said at a press briefing held today at the Korea Exchange in Seoul’s Yeouido that investors have typically allocated portfolios 60/40 to stocks and bonds on the expectation that bonds would provide downside protection when equities fall, according to The Asia Business Daily. Park said stocks and bonds have recently continued to move in the same direction, prompting the firm to recommend allocations to investments with lower correlation to those assets, including 8% in alternative assets and 2% in digital assets.

AUSTRAC said companies with canceled registrations can no longer provide related services.
