XRP trades near $1.33, 62.5% below its January 2018 peak of $3.55, while bitcoin and ether stay far above their 2017 highs. Supply growth of 63% explains a drop to about $2.18, so demand-side factors have to account for the remaining fall.

XRP whales deposited 1.669 billion tokens on Binance over 30 days, the highest reading in seven months, according to CryptoQuant data. At $1.33 a token that is about $2.22 billion, against $1.8 billion of net US spot ETF inflows over 13 weeks.

Bitwise research head Ryan Rasmussen says NEAR's $5.3 million in buybacks since February do not yet offset new token issuance. He still backs NEAR and Hyperliquid on revenue, in an interview with Crypto Briefing.

Solana fell 9.34% in seven days to about $107 before its October 21 Alpenglow upgrade, according to crypto.news. The one ETF flow it cites, $1.04 million on October 13, is about 0.0017% of market capitalization.

Thailand's SEC finalized 11 notifications, effective Oct. 16, allowing local Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and barring most retail clients from foreign ones. No Thai fund has been approved or given a trading date, CryptoSlate reported, so the foreign-product limits arrive first.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan puts NEAR at $155.85 by 2030, a 40-fold gain, on a model of 328 million AI agents making 1,000 transactions a year. The base case is built on agent payments alone, yet Hougan says existing chain activity backstops the token if agentic finance fails.

Bitwise confirmed its Dogecoin ETF will stop trading on October 14, with distributions to shareholders to follow, crypto.news reported. For those holders the payout date now matters more than the week's $57.2 million net exchange outflow, about 0.4% of DOGE's market value.

Thailand's SEC finalized rules letting passive Bitcoin and Ether ETFs list only on the Stock Exchange of Thailand from Oct. 16, 2026. Every fund must keep at least 80% average exposure to one coin, so managers will compete mostly on cost and approval speed.

Bitcoin climbed back to about $82,500 after Trump said the U.S. would not attack Iran before the Nov. 3 midterms, still about 4% down on the week. Futures open interest barely moved on the way up, so traders bought the bounce without taking on fresh leverage.

Grayscale's Zcash fund passed $1 billion in assets within a month of listing, though only about $200 million of that is cash from outside investors. Most of the rest is coins carried over from its 2017 trust and a ZEC price that roughly doubled after trading began.

NEAR Protocol rose about 6% to $5.50 and passed Stellar's $6.97 billion market value to rank 20th on CoinGecko, crypto.news reported. NEAR's own seven-day gain was 0.6%, so most of the swap in rank came from XLM's 12.8% weekly slide.

XRP whales withdrew about 1.38 billion tokens from Binance over 30 days, the most in seven months, according to a CryptoQuant analysis. That could thin the supply ready for sale on the exchange, though withdrawals alone do not show whether the coins are being held or sold elsewhere.
Reality
Grayscale's XRP ETF now lets Virtu and Macquarie swap XRP directly for fund shares, according to an Oct. 5 SEC filing reported by Bitcoin.com News. Grayscale itself warns that limited dealer participation can widen spreads, so for now the fund's tracking of XRP rests on those two firms.

Hyperliquid and Pump.fun accounted for nearly 90% of $638 million in crypto buybacks through August, leaving about $64 million for every other project. Slower issuance matters more to most holders, with annual supply growth down about 88% on analyst Jamie Coutts' figures.
Reality
Zcash rose 3% and Monero 2.14% over 24 hours to lead the largest coins, while Bitcoin gained 0.59%. The $30.25 million that left Grayscale's Zcash ETF on Sept. 30 equals about 0.13% of Zcash's $23.18 billion market value.

Bitwise's NRR, the first U.S. spot NEAR ETF, gathered about $58 million in its first three sessions, according to a Bankless tally of daily flows. Inflows shrank each day, so the coming weeks will test whether Bitwise's AI pitch for NEAR finds buyers after the launch.

Hyperliquid Strategies is up 251% this year while Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana treasury companies have slumped. Its market value sits close to the worth of the HYPE it holds, so the gain looks more like the token's than the company's.

Near Intents halted its cross-chain swap service after a bug in its Omni deposit layer let an attacker take about $3.8 million. Crypto balances carry no deposit insurance, so affected users are relying on the operator's promise to repay them in full.

Grayscale's Zcash ETF recorded a $30.25 million net outflow on Sept. 30, leaving cumulative net inflows near $268 million. With ZEC 21% below its late-September peak, the next flow prints will show whether the fund's buyers stay with the coin after its run.
