01 BNB Meme
At a time when finance and internet culture intersect, hot topics continue to emerge. BNB's strong performance has fueled a surge in popularity among its ecosystem's meme coins. Among them, Binance Life has surged, reaching a market capitalization exceeding $500 million. Is this a celebration within the crypto community or the result of capital manipulation? Let's explore the secrets behind this meteoric rise. Recommended articles:
Behind the Crazy Rise of Binance Life: CZ and He Yi Master the Traffic Code
According to GMGN market data, Binance Life has been rising steadily since its launch on the evening of October 4th, from a low of around $0.001. Following its announcement of listing on Binance Alpha, it has continued to reach new all-time highs, becoming the first Chinese-language cryptocurrency to be listed on Binance in recent years. Currently, Binance Life has peaked above $0.50 before falling back to around $0.47. Its market capitalization has jumped to over $470 million, with a 24-hour trading volume reaching $336.6 million.
In just less than 4 days after its launch, the meme coin Binance Life has achieved a market value of over US$500 million. Corresponding to this is the exaggerated wealth effect spread throughout the community, which has injected Fomo sentiment into the buying.
02 Prediction Market
A massive funding round recently rocked the crypto world. Polymarket confirmed that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, will make a $2 billion strategic investment in the company, valuing it at $9 billion. This represents one of the highest funding rounds ever secured by a crypto project in recent years, and its nearly $10 billion valuation has thrust the potential and excitement of the prediction market into the spotlight.

As early as after the 2024 US presidential election, in order to attract funds to continue to stay, Polymarket had reminded users on the relevant page of its official website that there might be token airdrops in the future.
According to the SEC EDGAR database, Polymarket's operating entity, Blockratize Inc., filed a Form D document on August 1, 2025, which mentioned other warrants or other rights clauses. Such statements are often seen as signals of future coin issuance.
Because the legal status of tokens in the United States remains unclear, companies are often unable to directly mention their token issuance plans in SEC filings. Instead, they use terms like "warrants" to reserve the right for investors to receive tokens in the future. This has become a common practice in the crypto industry when conducting traditional equity financing.
On October 8th, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan placed the POLY token symbol after BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL in a retweet, suggesting that the Polymarket token might be called POLY. However, the launch date remains unknown.
In 2025, the legal landscape of prediction markets in the United States has been volatile. The same Nevada judge, in similar cases involving Kalshi and Crypto.com, issued opposing rulings, one in favor of the other. This conflicting ruling raises key questions about the legal nature of prediction market contracts, sparking industry attention and discussion on the direction of relevant legal regulations.

From Kalshi 's victory to Crypto.com's setback: Why are the outcomes of prediction markets and judges so different ?
- A federal judge in Nevada rejected Crypto.com's request to block state gambling regulation, contradicting an earlier ruling in favor of Kalshi.
The judge ruled that Crypto.com’s sports contracts did not meet the definition of a “swap contract” under federal law, based on the distinction between “result” and “occurrence.”
- A legal expert called the ruling completely out of touch with reality and predicted it would be overturned on appeal.
03 Industry Insights
As the cryptocurrency market heats up, Ethereum's peak price has become a focus of investors. This article analyzes key indicators such as the 200-week moving average and the price-to-realized price ratio to explore the potential price heights Ethereum can reach during this bull market, providing investors with reference. Recommended articles:
What will be the peak of Ethereum ?
Our basic assumptions are as follows:
- Ethereum price is 250% above its 200-week moving average, corresponding to a price of $8,500;
- The realized price reaches $3,000. If the price-to-realized price ratio is 2.9, the corresponding Ethereum price is $8,700.
- Ethereum's market capitalization reaches 35% of Bitcoin's market capitalization. If Bitcoin's price is $150,000, the corresponding Ethereum price will be $8,600;
- The ratio of Ethereum to the Nasdaq index hit a new high. If the ratio is 0.35, the corresponding Ethereum price is $8,300.
If the bull market continues, the price of Ethereum may exceed $10,000; if the market turns bearish, Bitcoin's peak growth will be limited, and Ethereum will also be under pressure.
In the digital age, the ultimate goal of tech giants isn't simply profit; it's control over models, narratives, and ideas. From the evolving nature of money to the centralization trend in AI, this article will reveal how giants shape our cognition through capital and technological monopolies, and why the wave of decentralization is the key to breaking free from this control.

Money , Control , and Decentralization
Honestly, the numbers behind OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are crazy.
But what’s even crazier is that these numbers mean nothing if the goal is profit; they only make sense if the goal is domination.
OpenAI generated approximately $4.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2025, reaching an annualized run rate of $10 billion. Sound lucrative to you?
But it burned through $2.5 billion during the same period. For every dollar it earned, it spent $1.60.
It has also raised an additional $8.3 billion in capital, potentially expanding to $40 billion. Investors know it's unprofitable, but they don't care. Why?
Because the goal isn’t short-term returns, but to lock the world’s AI layer into OpenAI’s ecosystem.
Meme coins are often overlooked in the cryptocurrency world, yet they hold significant opportunities. This article will reveal surprising statistics about the Meme coin ecosystem, including the fact that Pump.fun accounts for over 40% of Solana's 32 million tokens, and its crucial role as a gateway to crypto, providing a fresh perspective on this controversial space. Recommended articles:
" It turns out that Meme is the crypto-currency printing machine you can tap into? "
- Meme coins currently account for about 30% of Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume, down from 60% in January.
- Of the approximately 12.8 million tokens issued on the Pump.fun platform, just 12 tokens (0.00009%) account for more than 55% of the platform's total fully diluted market capitalization (FDMC).
-The total fully diluted market capitalization (FDMC) of tokens on the Pump.fun platform exceeds $4.8 billion.
- This represents over 85% of the total fully diluted market capitalization of all Solana issued platform tokens, a figure unmatched by any other platform.
- Since its launch, Pump.fun has consistently dominated the Solana issuance platform market share, having only been briefly surpassed by other platforms twice.
- The only recent competitor that briefly surpassed Pump.fun this summer was the Bonk.fun platform.
-The median holding time for Solana Meme Coin is approximately 100 seconds, down from 300 seconds previously.
This short-term speculation highlights the increasingly “high-frequency trading” and “player-versus-player (PvP)” competitive nature of the trading market.
- There are currently over 32 million tokens on the Solana blockchain, compared to less than 8 million before Pump.fun launched in January 2024.
- This means that in less than two years, the number of tokens has grown by more than 300%.
-Meme coins are an attractive “on-ramp” to the cryptocurrency space, attracting new users to wallets and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
-The Meme coin ecosystem exhibits a "power law distribution" characteristic, that is, a small number of tokens account for the vast majority of market value.
If you're not good at trading, or want to take it to the next level, you need to develop a more well-rounded skill set. It's obvious that most people in the crypto space overlook investing in themselves, but you can definitely create your own competitive advantage.
How to Master Crypto ?
The blockchain is the most transparent financial system ever created. Every transaction, every wallet transfer, and every smart contract interaction is publicly traceable. Yet, most traders claim to have done their research based on just three charts on Coingecko.
The information asymmetry in the crypto space is not about access (everyone can see the same data), but about the ability to interpret and integrate it, to ask better questions, and to know where to find the answers.
04 Project Observation
Meteora, the Solana DEX, plans to officially launch its MET token on the 23rd of this month. During the National Day holiday, the company announced its tokenomics and dubbed the project "Phoenix Nirvana." Unbeknownst to many, Meteora's development has been a rollercoaster ride, and describing the project as a "Phoenix Nirvana" is no exaggeration. Recommended articles:
Lianchuang is accused of market manipulation, and the most controversial DEX on Solana is about to hold a TGE .
According to the MET token economics, 20% will be distributed to Mercurial stakeholders; 15% will be distributed to Meteora users through the LP incentive program; 2% will be distributed to off-chain contributors, those who contribute to Meteora's development; 3% will be distributed to the Launchpad and Launchpool ecosystems; 3% will be distributed to the Jupiter staking incentive program; 3% will be distributed to centralized exchanges, market makers, etc.; and 2% will be distributed to M3M3 stakeholders. In addition, 18% of MET will be allocated to the team, and 34% will be held as Meteora reserves, both of which will vest linearly over 6 years.
Overall, 48% of the tokens will be distributed and unlocked directly during the TGE. However, MET will not be distributed through a conventional airdrop. Instead, 10% of the tokens will be distributed to users as liquidity positions. According to Meteora, this mechanism eliminates the need for project owners to provide additional tokens for initial liquidity, while still allowing users to earn transaction fees.
On October 8, 2025, Coinflow officially announced the completion of a $25 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital. This article will analyze Coinflow's core logic from three perspectives: core concepts, team and financing background, and operating mechanisms. Recommended articles:
Coinflow secures $25 million in funding: building a payment “highway” with stablecoins
According to data officially disclosed by Coinflow, since completing its seed round of financing in 2024, Coinflow has achieved a 23-fold revenue growth, with an annual transaction volume of billions of US dollars, and its payment service coverage has also expanded to more than 170 countries and regions.
The essence of Coinflow is to use blockchain technology to address the inefficiencies of traditional payments, while simultaneously applying the compliance logic of traditional finance to address the implementation barriers of blockchain. Coinflow does not aim to replace traditional payments, but rather, through technological integration, to build a new payment infrastructure adapted for the global interconnected era.
