The US Ethereum Spot ETF has seen a cumulative net outflow of $50 million this week

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost wrote in a post that large crypto whales holding significant capital are increasing the volume of stablecoin transfers to Binance. Data shows that the 30-day cumulative inflow from whale addresses sending over $1 million in stablecoins per transaction has risen from $21.7 billion to $30.5 billion, a more than 40% increase compared to over a month ago. Typically, stablecoin inflows to exchanges signal that funds are positioning for market moves, so the rise in whale stablecoin inflows may be tied to potential buying pressure. Data indicates that whale stablecoin inflows previously hit a peak of over $61 billion in October before a prolonged decline. Recently, as structural trends in Bitcoin have shifted, whale capital behavior has begun to adjust, though they remain cautious. Darkfost noted that current whale capital deployment is influenced by multiple factors, including market expectations for the "October rally" and macroeconomic factors such as conflicts, inflationary pressures, and rising bond yields.

U.S. Time magazine released a lengthy report on Donald Trump on October 1. The report noted that Trump has grown increasingly fascinated by artificial intelligence capabilities since returning to the White House. Last December, Elon Musk secretly returned to the White House Oval Office to meet with Trump, during which Trump spent hours posing questions about his presidential tenure and political legacy to Musk’s AI chatbot Grok. Trump also asked Grok how Venezuelan citizens would react if the U.S. arrested Nicolás Maduro. Grok replied that Maduro was deeply unpopular in Venezuela, with many Venezuelans likely to celebrate his downfall. The following month, Trump ordered the operation to arrest Maduro, and celebrations subsequently erupted on Venezuelan streets. Multiple officials disclosed that this incident led Trump to view Grok’s performance as excellent. (Jinshi)
