Thatās it. Youāre in the mix.
Theyāve already released some pretty cool crypto-themed games, and with football (not soccer) season back, their upcoming sportsbook couldnāt be dropping at a better time.
So if you fancy a punt, go have a play. Just remember, as always: gamble responsibly.

GM, let`s cook.
Speaking of cooks, I don`t think anyone can top Cobieās feat from yesterday. The man casually made $400M in a day, with Coinbase scooping up both his Echo platform and the UpOnly podcast NFT. Canāt wait to hear James Wynn try explaining to Cobie how to āmake itā on Hyperliquid in the next episode.
Itās time for us to cook as well, but for that, we still need BTC to hold above at least $103K. For now, things still seem a bit dodgy, but the bounce should continue as long as Bitcoin holds above this level.
ETH is slightly underwhelming here too, consolidating just below the $4K level. Flipping this zone into support would be immensely helpful.
Letās see how the rest of the week turns out. Thereās still a chance we'll see some strength heading into the end of the month, with the government shutdown possibly ending soon and Trump finalizing his deal with China. For now, the Orange Man continues to threaten, throwing around 155% tariff numbers.
If everything goes as usual, we should see a deal close by November 1st. If not, then perhaps early 2026, during Trumpās planned trip to China?
Also, letās watch what the Fed has going on today, with a planned announcement at todayās Payments and Digital Assets Conference.
Itās difficult to predict what will happen next. The chances of a prolonged chop are roughly the same as those for the continuation of the market bounce. The main thing here is to keep our hands off the portfolio killer: leverage.

Railgun
The privacy meta is going strong since the ZEC trade blew up.
I think many people have forgotten about this original project, widely supported by Vitalik: Railgun.
Iām keeping this one on tabs if the privacy meta continues, looking at the stats below, itās doing pretty well.
RAILGUN has now hit $4 billion in total shielded volume since inception in 2021.
Approximately $1.6 billion of that volume has come in 2025 alone.
More volume means a more robust privacy set which leads to support for more shielded volume.

It's a conversation about the importance of taking ownership back from web2 and how we can benefit from that

I can`t help but agree with Raoul here. What do you think? Is there a chance this run will continue into 2026 after this restart is completed? I think the chances are still solid.
Raoul Pal: "The 4-year cycle is now the 5-year cycle.. Bitcoin should peak in 2026. Probably Q2."
