## Crypto Daily Digest: BTC ETF saw three consecutive days of large net inflows, RDNT dropped sharply after theft
According to Farside Investor data, US spot <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> ETFs had a net inflow of $452 million yesterday. BlackRock's IBIT inflow was $393 million, and Fidelity's FBTC inflow was $14.8 million. The US spot <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> ETF had a net inflow of $24.21 million yesterday, of which $11.88 million came from BlackRock ETHA.

**Radiant suffered an on-chain attack, with cumulative losses exceeding $60 million**

The contracts of the Radiant BSC chain and Arbitrarum chain, which are multi-chain lending protocols, have been attacked by on-chain hackers. The total assets affected so far may exceed $60 million. Impacted by the news of being hacked, RDNT experienced a short-term drop of over 10% this morning.

**<a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> on-chain activity slowed down, stakers' income dropped 30% from March peak**

According to The Block, as of October 16, 2024, the income of <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> stakers has shown a slow downward trend. The total revenue in September was $174 million, a decrease of about 30% from the peak of $247 million in March, reflecting the overall sluggish sentiment in the <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a>.

Data shows that the income of stakers has continued to decline since March, mainly due to a decrease in on-chain activities and a decrease in market enthusiasm. In September's staking income, only $35.5 million came from transaction fees, highlighting a high dependence on block subsidies. Despite the decline in income, the number of validators is still increasing. Ethereum currently has 1.09 million validators, indicating an unwavering enthusiasm for network security participation.

By 2024, the monthly active crypto addresses will rise to over 220 million. Base topped the Ethereum EVM chain with 22 million addresses, while <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a> dominated the non-EVM chain with over 100 million addresses. This year, the number of mobile wallet users is also the highest, with the United States accounting for 12% of global users.

### Market Hotspots
Meme sectors such as BONK, DOGE, CHEEMS, GOAT, etc. rose. On the surface of the news, BONK announced the launch of BONK ETF, leveraging the hype of BTC ETF to bring a wave of heat.
