A level of supply concentrates today all the attention of the market. Shiba Inu evolves in immediate proximity to a strategic threshold. About 80 trillion tokens continue to be held on exchange platforms. This setup occurs in a context of weakened trend and contrasting on-chain signals. At this level, the evolution of reserves becomes a key indicator of the next impulse.
A coin of $SHIB Inu is balanced on a narrow platform. The coin rests on the edge of a cracked pedestal, about to fall. Shiba Inu evolves near a strategic supply threshold with about 80 trillion tokens held on exchange platforms. The market structure remains fragile, marked by a persistent bearish trend despite a recent stabilization of prices. On-chain data indicates net outflows of tokens from exchanges, reducing the immediately available supply for sale. The crossing of the 80 trillion threshold could tighten liquidity and favor a more pronounced bounce. A decisive supply threshold under pressure The Shiba Inu market addresses a sensitive technical zone where the evolution of the available supply could influence price dynamics. Market indicators show that the reserves of tokens held on exchange platforms gravitate around a threshold considered as crucial for the continuity of movements. This setup occurs in a context of temporary price stabilization after a prolonged decline phase. #Squar2earn #Write2Earn #BinanceSquareTalks

An exchange in acquisition mode Kraken, founded in 2011, was for a long time known as one of the most serious crypto exchanges in the market. In 2025, the U.S. platform clearly changed gears. Six acquisitions in twelve months, a fundraising of 800 million dollars at a valuation of 20 billion (with Citadel Securities and Jane Street among the investors), and a confidential presentation to the SEC in November 2025 for an IPO in 2026. The message is clear: Kraken no longer wants to be just a simple exchange.
A massive acquisition strategy: in twelve months, Kraken has mainly acquired NinjaTrader, Backed Finance AG, and Magna to build a complete ecosystem around trading and crypto infrastructure. Multi-asset platform objective: crypto, regulated futures, automated trading, and tokenized stocks (RWA) are now gathered in a single environment, bringing Kraken closer to a model similar to Bloomberg for digital markets. New features for users: access to xStocks 24/7, trading automation via Capitalise.ai, and gradual integration of professional tools inherited from NinjaTrader for retail and institutional traders.#Squar2earn #robo $ROBO
Bhutan quietly moves $42M in Bitcoin in 2026 while having $374M in crypto reserves Bhutan quietly transferred over $42 million in Bitcoin in 2026, even as the small Himalayan kingdom holds a large national crypto reserve valued at nearly $374 million. This has helped the government’s digital assets avoid a liquidation frenzy and move slowly, as demonstrated by the transfers. Instead of making large liquidations, Bhutan is selling small portions of its holdings, although most of its Bitcoin treasury remains unchanged. Bhutan moved 175 BTC worth around $11.85 million on Monday, according to blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence. It is a recent move among a series of small Bitcoin payments the country has made this year. Bhutan also transferred around $6.8 million in Bitcoin last month. At this point in 2026, Bhutan has moved approximately $42.5 million in Bitcoin, according to Arkham Intelligence.#Squar2earn #Write2Earn $BTC

The Bitcoin Banks enter the bloodstream of traditional finance.
Now banks can no longer censor crypto companies as they did in the past.
The era of banking censorship towards cryptocurrency companies has come to an end, and the era of Bitcoin Banks has begun.
The approval of a limited-purpose master account for Kraken Financial by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City has practical and symbolic implications that level the playing field, removing cryptocurrency companies from their dependency on traditional banks and placing them rather as peers in the conversation. $BTC #Squar2earn #Write2Earn

Venezuela and the rise of USDT: adoption is no longer enough, now it's time to manage wisely Users recognize the benefits that the adoption of USDT has brought to Venezuela, but using it without clear rules can pose risks. For José Miguel Farías, adopting USDT is not simply about "buying dollars". Tether's stablecoin has established itself as an essential element within the Venezuelan economy. In the midst of the economic crisis that Venezuela is experiencing, characterized by the scarcity of cash dollars, companies are seeking alternatives to protect their liquidity and operate more securely.
Among the most commonly used options in the country is the tether stablecoin (USDT). Its growing use is marking a trend that José Miguel Farías, a financial commentator, agrees with, who highlights the fact that "more and more companies in Venezuela are incorporating USDT into their daily operations". #Squar2earn #Write2Earn #BinanceSquareTalks
10,000 dollars is realistic for Ethereum»: XWIN Research For this Japanese investment company, that would be "the natural outcome of the liquidity cycle in the cryptocurrency market". The growth of the M2 money supply would benefit cryptocurrencies. XWIN anticipates a forthcoming rotation of capital from bitcoin to altcoins. The Japanese investment firm XWIN Research projects that the price of ether (ETH), Ethereum's cryptocurrency, could reach 10,000 dollars, considering it "the natural outcome of the liquidity cycle in the cryptocurrency market".
This forecast is based on the expansion of the M2 money supply in the United States, which reached a record 22 trillion dollars, benefiting bitcoin ($BTC ) with a 130% increase since 2022. In contrast, ether only grew by 15% in the same period, showing a liquidity lag that, according to the firm, is likely to correct due to macroeconomic dynamics and on-chain data.
Additionally, the reserves of $ETH on exchanges have fallen by 25% since 2022, as seen in the chart, leaving around one million ether, which reduces selling pressure. #Squar2earn #Write2Earn #BinanceSquareTalks

Spain debates this week a greater fiscal control over bitcoin The amendment proposed by the Vox party seeks to halt a series of changes to the tax laws that apply to the cryptocurrency sector According to taxation specialist Rivero, the European directive DAC8 is unavoidable. Precedent of "spurious amendments" worries Vox; taxation on BTC tightens in Spain. Next Thursday, October 16, 2025, the Congress of Deputies of Spain will debate and vote on an amendment presented by the Vox party to reject and return to the Government the draft law that transposes the eighth Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8) of the European Union, which increases surveillance and allows the seizure of bitcoin ($BTC ) and other digital assets in Spain. The Spanish political party Vox argues that this initiative could conceal a "hidden tax reform" through amendments unrelated to the original text, which would allow the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) to manipulate the legislative process to introduce tax changes not related to the European directive. The regulation, aligned with the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), seeks to intensify fiscal control over transactions and balances in digital assets.
Its objective is to facilitate the automatic exchange of information between authorities. All of this allows for the seizure of bitcoin and other digital assets by the Tax Agency (Hacienda) in cases of tax debts, with mandatory implementation starting in 2026.
The law drives regulatory changes to reinforce the reporting obligations of crypto-asset providers and establish greater control over assets abroad, including balances. It modifies up to four Spanish laws, as reported by the Spanish media Bolsamaní. #Squar2earn #Write2Earn #BinanceSquareTalks
