IoTeX said the legacy ERC-20 tokens still remain, and the portal is part of an effort to consolidate the split forms of IOTX into the native token.

On-chain analyst Murphy said holdings by Bitcoin first buyers stood at 4.27 million BTC as of Oct. 11, up 400,000 BTC over roughly the past two months. Murphy said the increase amounts to about 2% of total circulating supply and exceeds the 340,000 BTC added between January and August 2023. In a post on X, Murphy wrote, "2023년에는 신규 매수자 보유량이 34만 BTC 늘어나는 데 7개월이 걸렸다. 현재 BTC 가격이 당시의 2.6배라는 점을 고려하면 신규 매수에 투입된 자금도 훨씬 많다. 이는 지난 사이클보다 신규 수요가 강하다는 의미" He added, "9월에는 올해 1월 이후 처음으로 모멘텀 매수자(Momentum Buyers)도 나타났다. 이들은 기존 평균 매입가보다 높은 가격에 BTC를 추가 매수한 투자자다. 모멘텀 매수자의 증가는 약세장이 끝났다는 시장의 기대를 반영하며, 단순한 약세장 반등에서는 이들이 크게 늘어나는 경우가 드물다"

The chart also showed the ratio surged above 95% several times after mid-2025, with BTC forming a major peak around October that year.

Jiang added that POC refers to the price level with the highest concentration of trading volume during a given period or within a specific price range.

A reading closer to 100 indicates stronger altcoin season conditions.

Yuga Labs blockchain VP Quit said on X users should immediately revoke NFT access approvals granted to Blur smart contracts. Quit said the recommendation comes as Blur plans to shut down front-end services for its official website on Nov. 12. Users therefore need to withdraw existing smart-contract approval permissions, according to the post. Quit added that no exploitable vulnerability has been identified in Blur’s smart contracts so far, but said the contracts’ upgradeable structure means the risk of malicious changes in the future cannot be ruled out. At least $10 million worth of NFT access permissions remain tied to Blur contracts, Quit said, adding that the safety of those assets could depend on the Blur operating team’s security management. CoinNess previously reported that Blur will suspend front-end operations for its official website starting Nov. 12.

On-chain analytics firm Santiment said growth in Ripple stablecoin RLUSD does not necessarily mean XRP will rise in price. Santiment said XRP fell while RLUSD’s market capitalization increased sharply. The firm added that if financial institutions actively use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger, transaction counts and liquidity could increase and support XRP as well. At the same time, RLUSD could grow without boosting XRP demand, as it can also be used on other blockchains. Santiment noted that a small amount of XRP is burned with each transaction on the XRP Ledger, but said the scale is unlikely to have a major impact on price. Ultimately, the key factor is not RLUSD’s market capitalization itself, but whether financial institutions increase their actual usage of the XRP Ledger. Earlier, Standard Chartered launched RLUSD custody services for institutions through its Dubai International Financial Centre branch.
