They’ve already released some pretty cool crypto-themed games, and with football (not soccer) season back, their upcoming sportsbook couldn’t be dropping at a better time.

So if you fancy a punt, go have a play. Just remember, as always: gamble responsibly.

GM to the Bulls.

The plan continues to form. Early this week, we said it’s likely this week isn’t the bearish one yet. And here we are, shortly after Powell’s big show and the expected 25bps cut, BTC said “fuck your shorts”, and pumped to $117.5k. And that’s even after everyone started freaking out about the fact that Powell mentioned a “risk management cut”.

Now, with three more cuts coming this year, BTC stays bullish above $116k short-term and above $100k long-term. I agree with Don here; there’s nothing much to be afraid of.

DXY is crashing down, and risk assets continue to appreciate. It’s the same story all over again since April this year, all the while, everyone calls for a market top, every single day.

Now, let’s be real. We could easily see a proper pullback come next week, or into early October. The altcoin open interest is very high, so flushes won’t be surprising. As always, watch this chart for signs of overheating.

What also won’t be surprising is the timeline calling for a bull cycle top again, just when the market reverses into a bull-style Q4. Of course, anything and everything can change, but this is the main view for now.

Lastly, the fact that the SEC has just approved the generic listings standards that will clear the way for spot crypto ETFs to launch tells there’s a lot of froth coming yet.

It’s time to ditch your bank altogether and embrace the crypto life:

• Spend it directly with no fees on the sale, and earn 3-5% back on every purchase—debit or credit.

• Use borrow mode: 70% LTV against your whole portfolio, “only borrow, never sell”

Aster mania.

Aster took the timeline by storm yesterday after getting shilled by CZ Binance himself.

Touted as “Hyperliquid from Temu”, Aster is running quite well. It’s currently consolidating at a valuation of around $700M mcap. The stats don’t look all that bad, honestly, and I wouldn’t exactly underestimate CZ.

If you want, you can join and trade on Aster here.

Lastly, here’s a good bull case for Aster to read.

• Bonsol (Compute on Solana)

• Ekox (Restaking)

• Aurra Cloud (Create AI agents)

• Buzzing (Prediction markets)

• STBL (Stablecoin 2.0)

• Zentry (The Human-Agentic Operating System)

• Runwago (Running app) - Launched today

To save you doom scrolling.

A wholesome advice for today. Do it.

I don’t know about you, but I will stay bullish going into Q4 and 2026. The fact that the timeline keeps calling for a top alone makes me think the top is nowhere near.

Stay careful going into October, but consider dips as opportunities. At least that’s what I’ll do, not financial advice.

stay safe homies,
