29 Sep – 5 Oct 2025: ETF Rules Shift, Bitcoin at a Crossroads, and TOKEN2049 Singapore Kicks Off
1. SEC’s new ETF rules spark a wave of filings
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has rolled out updated standards for crypto spot ETF approvals, cutting the review process from ~270 days to ~75 days and reducing discretionary reviews for products that meet certain criteria.
What this might mean: Expect a surge in filings (Solana, XRP, others) in early October. This regulatory opening could reshape how quickly new crypto ETFs come to market and may attract more institutional capital.
2. Bitcoin Price Outlook & Sentiment Check
After the most recent ~$1.5 billion in liquidations, current sentiment is neutral to cautiously optimistic. Market analysts on the most part view $107K as a critical support; if that fails, BTC could be at risk of deeper pullbacks. More immediately, $112,000 is acting as a pivot / resistance line, and $110,000 is being eyed as a lifeline support zone. In a CoinDesk report, analysts also flag the short-term holder cost basis (~$111,400) as another meaningful support level.
What this might mean: Because sentiment is neutral (not overbought or oversold), the next directional move might be sharper once one side gives way. Positioning matters: traders should consider placing stops around the key supports, and watch volume and institutional flows to confirm any breakout or breakdown.
3. TOKEN2049 Singapore kicks off October 1–2
The Asia edition of the flagship crypto conference is right around the corner in Singapore, expecting over 25,000 decision-makers, builders, and investors to converge to discuss the crossroads of the crypto industry. CoinW will be featured as a Platinum Sponsor - look out for our "Crypto Marathoners" Lounge in the L5 Networking area.
What this might mean: Expect major project announcements, partnership reveals, and fresh capital commitments. Historically, TOKEN2049 has been where new narratives (DeFi, NFTs, RWA tokenization, AI+crypto) get their spotlight.
Also, some narratives to track this year – ETF expansion as per #1, memecoins with utility, real-world asset tokenization, and AI integrations are all expected to dominate conversations.
4. New Listings on CoinW
CoinW rolled out USDT-M perpetual futures for MNT, AVNT, ASTER, and XPL, alongside fresh spot listings for FF and 0G — expanding trading opportunities across Layer-2, enterprise blockchain, gaming, and DeFi narratives.
What this might mean: The listings highlight where trader interest is heating up—scalability, real-world utility, and emerging GameFi. Expect early volatility as liquidity builds and narratives develop.
5. Tether eyes $500B valuation via $15–20B raise
The company behind the dominant stablecoin USDT is reportedly in talks to raise $15–20 billion via a private placement, valuing Tether at approximately $500 billion.
What this might mean: This underscores how central stablecoins remain in the crypto plumbing. If the raise goes through, it could amplify Tether’s power in the ecosystem, but also attract scrutiny (valuation, balance sheet, regulatory).

From "Shiso Leaf" to 45‑Fold Myth: Decrypting the Alternative Investment Philosophy of Serenity
In May 2026, the anonymous account "Serenity" posted a 4502.45% annual return, earning the title "White‑Haired Stock God" and rapidly surpassing 750,000 followers on X. His core investment philosophy can be summarised as the "Shiso Leaf" theory and the "Chokepoint" theory – not chasing giants, but deeply cultivating irreplaceable "bottleneck" links in the industry chain, using public information to uncover undervalued assets. His holdings are concentrated in global small‑ to mid‑cap tech stocks in photonics, semiconductor substrates, and power semiconductors. CoinW has listed AI‑theme tokens such as TAO, RENDER, and FET, but no token exclusive to him. Risks to note include his unverified identity, post‑surge pullbacks, and high volatility in crypto assets.
Analysis of the U.S. Equity AI Industry Chain Investment Logic
In 2026, the U.S. equity AI investment logic is shifting from concept speculation to earnings delivery. A capital expenditure super-cycle, led by hyperscale cloud providers, has taken shape, with total annual CapEx expected to exceed $700 billion, securing order visibility for the industry chain over the next 12–24 months. Within the three‑tier structure of the industry chain, compute infrastructure (Nvidia, Broadcom, etc.) offers the highest certainty; the foundation model layer still faces unclear profitability paths; and the application software layer benefits from dual optimization of revenue and costs. Investment opportunities are spreading sequentially across compute, storage, optical communications, and power supply. CoinW has launched its TradFi zone, supporting trading in U.S. equities such as Nvidia and Google, as well as AI‑theme tokens including TAO, RENDER, and FET. Risks to watch include elevated valuations, slowing CapEx growth, and geopolitical factors.
Global Market Panorama: A Synchronized "Black Tuesday"
On June 23, 2026, global stock markets suffered a synchronized sell-off: South Korea's KOSPI plunged 9.99% and triggered two circuit breakers, Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped 3.55%, China's A-share ChiNext fell 3.84%, and U.S. equity futures tumbled over 2% pre-market. The root cause lies in the AI trade shifting from "valuation expansion" to "earnings validation" – SpaceX lost 31% in three days (four simultaneous blows: acquisition dilution, bond issuance, options shorting, and fundamentals collapse), Google dropped 5% on talent departure, compounded by Korea's leveraged ETF regulatory scare, pre-earnings caution on Micron, and Fed hawkish signals pushing the 10‑year yield to 4.49%. The bigger test for SpaceX lies ahead with insider unlock in August.
