BTC - BTC price fell 0.37% in the past 24 hours, with the highest price in the past 24 hours at $66,114. In the past day, it has been consolidating at a high level below the resistance level of $66,000. At 0:00 on September 30th, there was a high-volume pullback, falling to $64,500. The next key support level will be around $63,000. [2]

ETH —— The ETH price has fallen by 0.66% in the past 24 hours, with the current price at $2,658, the highest price in the past 24 hours at $2,683, and the lowest price at $2,601. Since the price touched the resistance level of $2,700 on September 27th, ETH has entered a downward channel. It is necessary to follow the breakthrough situation of the upper and lower boundaries of the channel, and there is a short-term support level near $2,555.

AltCoin —— Affected by the restructuring news of FTX, the bankruptcy concept coin pumped, FTT, USTC, LUNC, LUNA and other Tokens big pump.【4】

The three major US stock indexes -- the S&P 500 fell 0.13%, the Nasdaq fell 0.39%, and the Dow Jones Index pumped 0.33%. [5]

Spot Gold - The spot gold price is at $2,650.73 per ounce, down 0.25% on the day.【6】

Fear and Greed Index - The Fear and Greed Index has dropped from 63 to 61, indicating a slight decrease. However, the market is still in a greedy state. [7]

Popular Token

According to gate market data, combined with the volume and price performance in the past 24 hours, the popular altcoins are as follows:

FTT - The single-day increase is about 60.2%, with a circulating market value of $7.49 billion.

FTT is the Token issued by the bankrupted Cryptocurrency exchange FTX. FTX's asset restructuring plan has triggered follow in the market after filing for bankruptcy protection in 2022.

Recently, FTX announced that it is expected to return 11 to 16 billion US dollars to creditors in the fourth quarter of 2024. If the restructuring plan hearing is approved, FTX will have 60 days to distribute assets to creditors, which means that cash will begin to reach creditors before December 7th, or as a result, the FTT price continues to rise. [8]

USTC - Daily increase of about 22.6%, with a circulating market value of 134 million US dollars.

Terra USD Classic (USTC) is an Algorithm stablecoin pegged to the US dollar by Terra LUNA. In May 2022, due to the collapse of LUNA, the Algorithm mechanism of USTC failed to effectively maintain its peg to the US dollar, leading to a significant depeg, with the current price at around 0.022 USD.

Recently, possibly influenced by the FTX repayment plan, the concept of bankruptcy has become a hot topic, and the price of USTC has also experienced a pump. However, this pump may only be a short-term market sentiment response, and in fact, the project itself has not made any substantial progress, so investors need to treat this Fluctuation with caution.

DIA —— Daily increase of approximately 19.8%, with a circulating market value of $54.96 million.

DIA is a cross-chain interaction, open source data, and Oracle Machine platform that supports obtaining, verifying, and sharing transparent and verified data feeds for traditional and digital financial applications, covering asset prices, Metaverse data, loan interest rates, etc.

In mid-September, DIA launched a new Oracle Machine architecture called Lumina. Using DIA's Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) rollup, Lasernet, Lumina can use ZKP technology for data validation and secure Node contribution, ensuring Decentralization operation. In addition, there have been multiple partner announcements recently. This pump may be affected by the above news.

Hotspot Review

Newly disclosed documents reveal that FTX plans to compensate preferred shareholders with $230 million, sparking controversy According to a recently disclosed document, FTX plans to prioritize $230 million in compensation to its shareholders. First and foremost, from ethical and legal perspectives, FTX is currently in bankruptcy proceedings, theoretically, priority should be given to creditors, i.e. those customers who have suffered losses due to the company's bankruptcy. However, FTX has chosen to allocate some funds to shareholders instead of prioritizing the repayment of creditors, which will undoubtedly exacerbate the dissatisfaction of creditors and the Crisis of Confidence. [14]

Second, this decision may have far-reaching implications for the bankruptcy handling rules in the encryption industry. Typically, in the TradFi field, shareholders are often the last to receive compensation in the event of bankruptcy, only receiving their share after all creditors have been paid. FTX's approach seems to overturn this convention, which may lead to more uncertainty and controversy in the bankruptcy proceedings of future encryption companies.

Overall, this event demonstrates FTX's tendency to prioritize internal interests over the interests of creditors and customers in bankruptcy liquidation, which may further damage the company's reputation and trigger regulatory scrutiny and policy changes in the encryption industry.

Uniswap Labs launches the ERC-7683 standard to address the fragmentation of Cross-Chain Interaction Uniswap Labs recently introduced the ERC-7683 standard in collaboration with Across Protocol on X, which aims to address the fragmentation issue in intent-based systems by filling the network. The mechanism of ERC-7683 includes users signing Cross-Chain Interaction orders, funds being held in the Settlement contract, fillers competing on-chain to meet orders, the winning filler executing the operation and releasing the funds. By defining standardized Cross-Chain Interaction order structures and Settlement contract interfaces, this standard promotes the interoperability of the Cross-Chain Interaction transaction system, simplifies Cross-Chain Interaction, enhances Liquidity and filler networks, and reduces the cost and waiting time for users in Cross-Chain Interaction transactions.

Cross-Chain Interaction has always been a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the blockchain field. Efforts such as Polkadot's Cross-Chain Interaction and XION's integration with the SEI network have provided different solutions to this challenge. Looking ahead, the development of Cross-Chain Interaction may move towards standardization, continuously improving this ecosystem through methods such as the ERC protocol. This will help improve the efficiency of collaboration between different blockchains, providing users with a smoother Cross-Chain Interaction experience.
