Base has completed the Cobalt upgrade, adding conditional trading and issuer control tools for tokenized assets. This upgrade expands the B20 token standard, allowing issuers to set multiple compliance checks for the same asset, including identity verification, accredited investor status, and sanctions list screening.Issuers can pre-set adjustments for corporate actions such as stock splits, updating the number of shares displayed in wallets and applications without issuing new tokens, burning tokens, or changing the underlying balance. Issuers can also authorize administrators to transfer tokens without the approval of holders and attach public explanations; Base cannot initiate such transfers.Cobalt introduces Validity Transactions, allowing users to set on-chain conditions before submitting transactions, for example, allowing exchanges only if the asset reaches a target price before a specified block deadline. Such transactions can remain private before being included in a block. Base enabled B20 as the native standard for stablecoins and homogenized tokens representing tokenized real-world assets on July 8; Coinbase issued B20 tokens representing stocks of Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Alphabet on Base on August 25.

Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen interpreted the company's first institutional cryptocurrency adoption report in an interview. The report interviewed 15 major institutions, covering pensions, endowments, foundations, and sovereign wealth funds. During the period when Bitcoin fell from $125,000 to $60,000, none of the interviewed institutions sold off, with many choosing to increase their holdings instead.Rasmussen stated that these institutions view Bitcoin alongside gold as a tool to hedge against currency devaluation. Wells Fargo allocated a position of 2% to 3% in Bitcoin, while Fidelity and BlackRock provided a range of 2% to 8%. He noted that the launch of ETFs has made this round of the Bitcoin bear market shallower than previous ones, with weekly ETF inflows reaching as high as $2.5 billion, bringing a new wave of capital to the market.He also mentioned that sovereign wealth funds are selling gold to buy Bitcoin and believe that $60,000 constitutes the bottom of this round. He simultaneously pointed out that Bitcoin has low correlation with bonds, gold, and stocks.

Glassnode stated that spot traders are turning to the altcoin market. Data shows that the current spot trading volume of altcoins is about 4 times that of Bitcoin's spot trading volume, reaching the highest level since September 2025.Glassnode indicated that the demand for higher-risk assets has increased, a phenomenon that has historically been associated with the formation of Bitcoin's cyclical tops.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield returned to above 5.2% overnight, reaching a high not seen since 2007, putting pressure on global risk assets. Bitcoin has fallen back to around $83,000, with altcoins experiencing even larger declines. In this regard, Cloud, the chief analyst at Huobi HTX, believes that this drop is more akin to a normal pullback after a rebound and does not constitute the starting point of a trend reversal. The high U.S. Treasury yields mainly suppress valuations, with limited impact on the overall liquidity. The funding structure and holding costs of the crypto market itself have also not been disrupted. This round of decline seems more like a clearing of positions before key data is released.It is important to be cautious about the divergence between Bitcoin and altcoins. During a phase of marginal liquidity tightening, funds tend to concentrate on the most certain top assets; altcoins lack incremental funds to support them, and with heavier leverage, their pullbacks are therefore amplified. This divergence is likely to continue before the release of this week's PCE and non-farm data. If the data falls short of expectations, altcoins will have greater elasticity and thus higher risks; if the data exceeds expectations, Bitcoin's relative strength will be more pronounced. Whether Bitcoin can stabilize at key support levels will be the main signal to determine if this round of pullback has ended.Note: The content of this article does not constitute investment advice, nor does it constitute any offer, solicitation, or recommendation of investment products.

Glassnode posted on platform X, stating that spot traders are turning to altcoins, and the total spot trading volume of altcoins has now approached nearly 4 times that of Bitcoin, reaching the highest level since September 2025.Glassnode pointed out that this rise in demand for high-risk assets has often coincided with phase tops of BTC in the past.

On-chain analyst Darkfost posted on X, stating that since June 2026, the total market capitalization of altcoins, including ETH, has attracted over $371 billion in inflows, an increase of about 45%.Meanwhile, approximately 87% of altcoins on Binance are currently above the 200-day moving average, while about 80% of altcoins were still below this average in August of this year. Darkfost believes this reflects a significant recent concentration of funds into altcoins, while market sentiment has shown signs of overheating to some extent, and attention should be paid to whether the subsequent momentum can be sustained.

ViaBTC founder and CEO Yang Haibo stated: CoinEx is shutting down, but its hot wallet system is still relatively advanced and worth referencing in the industry. He introduced that CoinEx has implemented an MPC-based dual-signature scheme for its hot wallet to eliminate single points of failure.Yang Haibo mentioned that the relevant infrastructure is split into business systems and wallet systems, operated by completely independent teams, each holding one private key. Every withdrawal or transfer must be reviewed in real-time through substantial risk control by both parties, and even if one system is compromised, assets cannot be stolen.He added that the wallet signing process needs to be independently implemented and cannot rely on the native mechanisms of each node, which requires extensive reconstruction. The team spent over a year transforming the vast majority of nearly 300 chains supported by CoinEx one by one.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart stated in a video interview with Bitcoin Magazine that trillions of dollars in advisory wealth are currently on the sidelines, and a slight increase in allocation could bring substantial new demand for Bitcoin ETFs. He mentioned that the daily inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs once approached $1 billion.James Seyffart pointed out that strict rules from large brokerages like Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are still limiting financial advisors from purchasing Bitcoin ETFs for their clients, with the target allocation being too low as the main constraint. Many advisors have previously chosen to wait for the bear market to end before entering the market. He emphasized that approximately $30 trillion to $40 trillion in advisory wealth is a long-overlooked data point.He also discussed the cost benchmarks for Bitcoin ETFs, whether ETF fund flows can truly drive Bitcoin prices, who is selling between spot holders and ETF investors, the closing of hedge fund Bitcoin basis trades, and whether Bitcoin ETFs are expected to surpass gold ETFs. He believes the impact of the four-year cycle is diminishing, and Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a risk asset.
