❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ Latest developments in the cryptocurrency industry 🖱️ Bitcoin could continue its recovery, although some analysts believe it is unlikely to surpass $100,000 before the end of the year. Rising interest rates and tensions surrounding Iran are weighing on the cryptocurrency market. Alice Liu, Head of Research at CoinMarketCap, noted that Bitcoin could finish the year above its current price but is unlikely to revisit its October 2025 peak. Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor previously offered a more optimistic outlook, arguing that Bitcoin was on the verge of a new bull market and could climb back above $100,000. He cited a favorable regulatory environment, accelerating adoption by banks, the tokenization of securities, and continued growth in the digital asset market as key drivers. 🖱️ Rising bank deposit interest rates are associated with slower growth in the stablecoin market. This is a conclusion drawn in the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) report examining U.S. data from 2019 to 2025. The slowdown has been more pronounced for Circle’s USDC than for Tether’s USDT. The researchers attributed this difference to USDC’s closer ties to U.S. investors. 🖱️ Major cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has added Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and more than 10 other countries to its list of jurisdictions where it will no longer provide crypto asset services to residents. According to media reports, using a VPN to circumvent the restrictions is prohibited. The company updated its user agreement late last week. Affected users have received individual notifications outlining the next steps, relevant deadlines, and withdrawal procedures. Since October 18, 2026, users subject to the restrictions have been unable to place new orders or open positions. They have been advised to close all existing positions and withdraw their assets by October 21. AML analyzer | Mini App | X.com | New website

❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ The week in digital assets: key developments ➡️ Tether unveiled QVAC TranscribePsy this week, a multilingual AI model designed for automatic speech recognition. The model can transcribe 10 minutes of audio in just 1.6 seconds on a recent iPhone. According to the company’s press release, TranscribePsy has 254 million parameters and processes audio locally, without sending recordings to cloud platforms, helping keep private conversations confidential. The development marks an important step in Tether’s broader strategy to bring AI capabilities to smartphones, smart glasses, and humanoid robots. ➡️ Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes Bitcoin will benefit regardless of how artificial intelligence develops. He outlined three possible scenarios: AI-driven abundance, an AI collapse, and moderate economic growth. In the first scenario, investment would flow into scarce assets such as Bitcoin. An AI collapse, meanwhile, could trigger a sharp sell-off in high-growth assets, defaults among borrowers tied to data centers, and losses for holders of AI-linked bonds. However, Hougan expects central banks to respond by cutting interest rates and expanding their balance sheets, ultimately driving a sharp rally in Bitcoin. Under a moderate-growth scenario, he anticipates continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and broader adoption of the cryptocurrency among financial advisers, corporations, and governments. ➡️ Ledger has developed Atom, a device combining the functionality of a smartphone with that of a hardware cryptocurrency wallet. The device can run applications and features a secure chip, a protected display, and an integrated operating system. Ledger said its technology is designed for artificial intelligence and the post-quantum era. Earlier, the hardware wallet manufacturer had disclosed a major theft of funds affecting users in Asia, with estimated losses of $90 million. AML analyzer | Mini App | X.com | New website

🥰 How a batch transfer can link a user to high-risk sources of funds One of our users received crypto from an exchange service listed on BestChange. Some time later, they checked the address used to receive the funds with an AML Analyzer and discovered a link to a high-risk source—despite never having interacted with it directly. 🪭 We reviewed the transaction history, identified the cause, and helped the parties resolve the situation. Find out how such links can appear and how the issue can be addressed in the slides in this post or in our article on Medium. This case study is a reminder: cryptocurrency transactions can involve risks even when users have done nothing out of the ordinary. That’s why it’s important to check both your own address and the other party’s address before every exchange—for example, using the AML Analyzer on the BestChange website.  AML analyzer | Mini App | X.com | New website

🥰 Reviews and complaints in the BestChange Telegram Mini App and mobile app Our mobile products keep receiving new features—or, more precisely, familiar ones that our website visitors have long known and used.  You can now visit an exchange service’s profile in the BestChange Telegram Mini App and mobile app to: 🪭 leave a review about a completed exchange: rate your experience, give feedback, and attach screenshots if necessary; 🪭 file a complaint if something went wrong, such as a delayed or problematic payout. Everything works just like it does on the website: reviews are moderated, while disputes described in complaints are reviewed by BestChange specialists. How to Leave a Review or File a Complaint 🥰 Open an exchange service’s profile in the Telegram Mini App or mobile app. If you haven’t installed the app yet, now is a good time: App Store | Google Play | AppGallery. 👩‍💻 Go to the Reviews or Complaints section. 👩‍💻 Tap Leave a review or Create a complaint . 👩‍💻 Fill out the form and check all the required boxes. 👩‍💻 Tap Leave a review or Create a complaint again to submit your form. Why reviews and complaints are so important Reviews are an important source of information when choosing an exchange service. The more people share their actual experiences, the clearer the overall picture of each service becomes. Complaints serve two important purposes. First, the BestChange team immediately sees them and gets involved in reviewing the situation to help facilitate a fair resolution. Second, both active and resolved complaints are visible not only to the exchange service’s administration but also to users. This helps users understand what issues may arise and how the service handles them. AML analyzer | Mini App | X.com | New website

🥰 Not sure what to exchange or where to get the best rate? Start with the popular choices! BestChange lists more than 54,000 currency pairs. But if you simply want to exchange USDT for cash USD or buy BTC, such a wide selection can make it harder to find the right pair. That’s why BestChange websites feature a Popular section, bringing together the currency pairs users exchange most often. Where to find the Popular section The section is currently available only on the updated and classic websites. 👩‍💻 Classic website On the homepage, open the Popular tab in the left sidebar, next to Table and List options. The tab features frequently used exchange pairs, such as USDT to Alipay CNY or Payoneer USD to USDT. The homepage also includes a table showing the top rates for 20 popular exchange pairs. 👩‍💻 Updated website Popular exchange pairs are also available on the homepage. You’ll find the section in the left sidebar, between All currencies and Favorites. How to choose the best offer Select an exchange pair to see a list of services that support it. When comparing offers, don’t focus on the exchange rate alone. Check the reserve: if it’s lower than the amount you want to exchange, the transaction won’t go through. Take a look at the number and essence of user reviews and complaints to get an idea of how the service treats its customers. If you’re exchanging cryptocurrency, check the service’s AML tag to help avoid delays and additional checks. Save exchange pairs to Favorites If you have a pair you exchange regularly, Add it to Favorites so you won’t have to search for it again. Rates for your saved pairs will be just a couple of taps away next time. You can add exchange pairs to Favorites on the updated website, in the BestChange mobile app, and in the Telegram bot.

❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ Key developments in the digital asset industry as the week begins 👩‍💻 The U.S. Department of Justice is reviewing whether cryptocurrency exchange Binance has complied with the terms of the 2023 settlement. The agreement followed findings of banking compliance violations and required the company to pay $4.3 billion in penalties. The latest scrutiny concerns potential violations of U.S. sanctions against Iran. Manhattan prosecutors previously sought to seize $61 million in cryptocurrency from the exchange, alleging that the funds were linked to illicit Iranian oil sales and had been transferred through Binance corporate accounts. 👩‍💻 Morgan Stanley expects the RWA market to reach between $3 trillion and $10 trillion by 2030. Head of Digital Assets Amy Oldenburg said the company could begin supporting tokenized equities on its alternative trading platform in the first quarter of next year. She also highlighted the planned launch of a tokenization service by financial infrastructure giant DTCC later this month as a significant milestone for the market. Another major development is expected in January 2027, when the GENIUS Act is due to take effect. 👩‍💻 CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index has reached 65 points, its highest level this year. The index measures the performance of the 100 largest cryptocurrencies relative to Bitcoin. PUMP recorded the strongest gains, with its price surging 300% over the past 90 days.

🕹️ Flash loan A collateral-free loan in DeFi protocols that is issued and repaid within a single blockchain transaction. If the borrower fails to return the funds plus fees before the transaction completes, the entire operation is automatically reverted as if it never happened. This eliminates the risk of non-repayment for the protocol: the money is either returned within the same transaction or the operation does not go through. Flash loans are used for cross-exchange arbitrage, refinancing positions in lending protocols, and self-liquidations. At the same time, they can be used as a tool for attacks: a malicious actor can borrow a large flash loan, manipulate prices in a vulnerable protocol, and extract profit—all within a single blockchain transaction. #crypto_dictionary AML analyzer | Mini App | X.com | New website

❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ What’s been driving discussions in the crypto market lately 👩‍💻 Capital inflows into the cryptocurrency industry have reached approximately $50 billion since the beginning of 2026, according to JPMorgan. Most of the investment has flowed into spot crypto ETFs and futures. Market indicators tracked by the bank’s analysts also suggest that traders have begun rebuilding long positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Meanwhile, venture capital funding for crypto projects has been recovering since 2024. However, JPMorgan notes that much of the funding remains concentrated in a relatively small number of larger rounds led by major industry players. 👩‍💻 Bitcoin fell to around $80,347 earlier this week before staging a recovery. According to CoinMarketCap, the cryptocurrency had rebounded to above $83,000 at the time of publication. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin had recovered from a key reversal zone following a substantial reduction in leveraged positions across the market.  👩‍💻 The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is seeking to close a regulatory loophole used by stablecoin issuers operating in the European Union. The move concerns companies that lack the authorization required under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The initiative could affect U.S.-based Tether, the issuer of USDT, as well as other companies developing similar stablecoin products. AML analyzer | Mini App | X.com | New website

🪭 Why can an AML Tag change? In 2025, one of the exchange services listed on BestChange had several confirmed AML cases, so it received a yellow AML Tag as a warning for users. In 2026, the service requested a review, and we conducted a new assessment. Find out more about the review and its results in the cards in this post or in our full article on Medium. This case is a reminder: an exchange service’s AML tag on BestChange can change based on its AML practices over time.

This means users do not need to withdraw funds from the exchange in advance. The card also requires no separate wallet or pre-funding, according to the company. ➡️ Bitcoin has returned to growth.

DePIN (abbr. Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) A category of blockchain projects where network participants own and operate physical hardware—wireless hotspots, data storage servers, weather stations, GPU compute units—and earn token rewards for doing so. Unlike the traditional model where a single company builds infrastructure, DePIN distributes both costs and ownership across thousands of participants. Examples include Helium (wireless access points), Filecoin (data storage), Render (cloud GPU rendering), and Hivemapper (mapping via dashcams). Tokens in DePIN projects serve a dual role: incentivizing equipment operators and paying for network services on the consumer side. AML analyzer | Mini App | X.com | New website
