US SEC files charges against entity operating crypto trading platform Mango Markets
The U.S. SEC has filed charges against entities operating the cryptocurrency trading platform Mango Markets, alleging that they offered and sold the platform's MNGO governance tokens without registration. According to the SEC's complaint, starting in August 2021, Mango DAO, a purported decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and the Panamanian entity Blockworks Foundation raised more than $70 million from hundreds of investors around the world, including in the United States, through unregistered offers and sales of MNGO tokens (the so-called governance tokens of the Mango Markets platform).

10x Research: Bitcoin is expected to hit a new all-time high in the short term
According to the latest report released by 10X Research, Bitcoin's strong rise since the Fed's mid-September rate cut and China's stimulus plan has helped it break out of its downward trend. As Bitcoin breaks through $65,000, 10x Research expects it to quickly rise to $70,000 and then hit a new all-time high in the short term. Markus Thielen, founder of 10X Research, said that the amount of stablecoin minting increased sharply after the Fed's July meeting, when the Fed announced at the meeting that it would maintain interest rates unchanged, but hinted that policy easing may occur in September. In the following weeks, the amount of stablecoin minting approached $10 billion, injecting liquidity into the cryptocurrency market and significantly exceeding spot ETF flows. It is particularly noteworthy that Circle's USDC accounts for 40% of recent stablecoin inflows, which is much higher than normal, as the minting of USDC may indicate an increase in DeFi activity.

Trader Eugene: If Trump wins the election and the US has a soft landing, the expected BTC price range is $100,000-200,000

Matrixport: Bitcoin price may see a sharp rebound in early October
Matrixport published a report on the X platform saying that Bitcoin is likely to rebound at the end of the year, bringing surprises to many market participants. Although Bitcoin has been in a consolidation state since reaching an all-time high in March 2024, the return rate has reached + 49% since the beginning of the year, which is comparable to the + 47% return rate predicted based on historical data.
Based on Bitcoin’s performance over the past decade, if this historical trend continues, there is a good chance that the price will rebound sharply in early October. The coming weeks and months will be an exciting and transformative period for all players in the crypto asset space. In addition, Ethereum mining fees have rebounded slightly, indicating that the summer consolidation phase of crypto assets may be coming to an end. Whether the rebound momentum will continue requires a more detailed and rigorous analysis of Ethereum revenue and mining fee trends. Closely monitoring these indicators can provide insight into whether the recent rebound is sustainable. If not, it indicates that the logic of market activities may have changed.
