💰 Avalanche Treasury Eyes Nasdaq and $1B AVAX Buy
Avalanche just made its boldest move yet. The Avalanche Treasury is preparing to list on Nasdaq — and with it, a plan to purchase $1 billion worth of AVAX.
This isn’t just another treasury allocation. A Nasdaq debut signals mainstream investors could soon gain exposure to Avalanche through a publicly traded vehicle. For the AVAX ecosystem, it’s a signal of confidence, liquidity, and long-term positioning. If the listing clears regulatory hurdles, it could bring Avalanche deeper into the institutional conversation, alongside Ethereum and Solana.
🚀 Zcash Returns From the Dead
Out of nowhere, Zcash (ZEC) is back in the spotlight. In the past week, ZEC surged 150%, blasting through highs not seen since 2022. Just in the last 24 hours, it nearly doubled again, topping $150.
The catalyst? Renewed demand for privacy-focused assets as governments expand digital oversight. Traders have been rotating into ZEC on the narrative that “financial privacy is the next frontier,” with momentum traders piling in to chase the breakout. Whether it holds or fades depends on adoption — but for now, Zcash is the comeback story of the week.
📉 Bitcoin Hits $120K, Analysts Warn of Overheating
Bitcoin’s run to $120,000 is commanding headlines — but under the hood, technicals are flashing caution. Overbought indicators, overheated funding rates, and stretched positioning have analysts calling for a near-term correction.
Historically, October has been a strong month for BTC, averaging +21.9% returns. The question now: can the “October Effect” push it further, or are we staring down a short-term pullback before the next leg higher?
🛠️ BNB Chain Cuts Gas Fees Again
The BNB Chain team announced another round of network upgrades — cutting minimum gas fees to 0.05 Gwei and reducing block time from 750ms to 450ms.
That translates into near-instant settlement and transaction costs of just half a cent ($0.005). The move positions BNB as a leaner, faster alternative to Solana and Base, and signals Binance’s ongoing bet on user experience as the core growth driver.
📊 Binance Dominates Q3 Capital Inflows
Binance remains untouchable. In Q3, users deposited $14.8 billion onto the exchange — while the next 10 exchanges combined managed just $94 million.
Key stats underline Binance’s moat:
290M+ users globally 🌍
$125T trading volume
22 global licenses
A $1B SAFU fund
100+ airdrops worth $6.7B
BNB holders up 243% with $200+ in bonuses
For critics who’ve been predicting Binance’s decline, these numbers paint a different story.
🤖 Stablecoin Use Still Soaring Despite Bots
Reports show over 70% of stablecoin transactions in Q3 2023 came from bots — yet retail adoption is booming. Transfers under $250 hit record highs, suggesting stablecoins are becoming the de facto choice for everyday payments. If current trends hold, 2025 is on track to be the most active year for stablecoin usage in history.
