XRP, FTX Payouts, Satoshi Reveal

The crypto markets are gearing up for a news-packed week, with several key events on the horizon.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) flipped green after climbing above $63,000, signaling that “Uptober” might be in play again.
FTX Court Hearing
The deadline for the court hearing related to FTX creditor repayments is on October 7, amid chatter that the exchange will begin distributing $16 billion to its creditors sometime this month. BeInCrypto reported on the controversy, with creditors angry about the abysmal compensation coming their way.
FTX creditor activist Sunil Kavuri explained expectations in a recent post on X. He said that if the court approves the repayment plan, claimants expecting amounts below $50,000 could start receiving payments by late 2024. However, those owed larger sums may have to wait until mid-2025.

However, FTX token FTT recorded significant volatility amidst buzz about the upcoming hearing. Token deposits increased as traders positioned for potential exits amid volatility ahead of a crucial hearing.
OKX Delists These Five Tokens
OKX exchange also makes it to the top crypto news this week, with five tokens up for delisting, according to a late September announcement. On October 8, the exchange will delist spot trading for REN, TAKI, LEASH, ORB, and KINE tokens.
“We advise users to cancel orders on these trading pairs (REN/USDT, REN/USDC, TAKI/USDT, LEASH/USDT, ORB/USDT, and KINE/USDT) before the delisting. Otherwise, the system will automatically cancel these orders. The cancellation may take 1-3 working days,” the exchange said.
Token delisting typically causes a drop in trading volume and liquidity, making it harder for holders to sell at fair prices. It often leads to sharp price declines as investors panic sell or lose confidence in the token. Consequently, holders may face significant losses in the value of their assets.
EIGEN and APT Token Unlocks
EIGEN token holders should brace for volatility ahead of a $35.75 million worth of unlocks on Tuesday. An official announcement from the Eigen Foundation said this unlock event would bring new opportunities for participation across the EigenLayer ecosystem. Notably, this will mark the network’s first cliff unlock event.
On Friday, October 11, the Aptos ecosystem is set to unlock 11.31 million APT tokens, valued at $97 million based on current prices. These tokens will be distributed among the foundation, community, core contributors, and investors.
Tokens allocated to the community and investors may enter the market quickly as holders cash in for short-term profits. This influx could potentially impact APT’s price, creating downward pressure.

HBO’s Big Satoshi Nakamoto Reveal
Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity may become public information this week, with American television network HBO due to premiere its much-awaited documentary on Tuesday. Opinion polls on Polymarket suggest Len Sassaman may be the creator of Bitcoin.
Sassaman, now late, was an American technologist, cryptographer, and privacy advocate, a befitting profile for the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. He is said to be the biggest crypto billionaire ever, holding 1.1 million BTC tokens worth almost $67.5 billion at current rates.
“Len Sassaman’s wife had direct communication with the “creator” of Bitcoin After he died she was “thinking about” fundamentally altering Bitcoin She still has access to his “old hard drives” which means she has access to 1 million Bitcoin (5% of all Bitcoin, worth nearly$65 billion),” one X user commented.
Stacks Nakamoto Hard Fork
Nakamoto is making headlines twice in crypto news this week, with the second being the upcoming Stacks hard fork on October 9. It is a major upgrade on the Stacks network designed to bring several benefits, the main ones being increased transaction throughput and 100% Bitcoin finality.
With this upgrade, the Stacks blockchain would realize new capabilities and improvements, focusing on key advancements. These include improved transaction speed, enhanced finality guarantees for transactions, mitigated Bitcoin miner MEV (miner extractable value) opportunities that affect PoX, and enhanced robustness against chain reorganizations.
PEPPER Airdrop Snapshot
After the first snapshot on September 30, fan engagement Web3 project Chiliz (CHZ) has another airdrop of its PepperChain (PEPPER) token to CHZ holders on October 10 across major exchanges outside the US.
PEPPER airdrop is part of a continued strategy to expand and diversify the Chiliz ecosystem. The ecosystem is popular for its fan token platform and is deeply involved in the sports and entertainment industries.

The addition of PepperChain positions Chiliz for community-centric initiatives that will reward active participation and engagement.
Upbit Suspends MKR and DAI Trading
Korea’s largest exchange, Upbit, will suspend trading pairs for MKR/BTC and DAI/BTC from 14:00 local time on October 11, 2024. This will support brand reshaping as Maker transitions to Sky Protocol and its MKR token changes to Sky.
Similarly, Dai stablecoin will change to USDS. The suspension will last until the rebranding and token exchange is completed.
The DeFi community has its reservations about the rebranding. Some laud the move as a necessary evolution in response to market demands. Meanwhile, others are concerned that it shifts away from the decentralized principles that originally defined MakerDAO.
“MakerDAO was an OG DeFi protocol aiming to build an autonomous, decentralized stablecoin with low volatility against fiat currency, backed by ETH. DAI is now migrating to USDS, a stablecoin that goes against its original vision,” Lumberg, one of the prominent DeFi community members, commented.
Still, others say the change could have long-term effects on the DeFi sector, as introducing USDS and SKY could lead to a centralization trend within the space.

ADA Price Surge Signals a Potential Breakout

The value of Cardano’s ADA has soared nearly 10% in the past 24 hours, joining the broader crypto market in a strong recovery rally.
The coin’s technical indicators point to renewed bullish momentum, suggesting that ADA may be gearing up for further gains in the near term.
Cardano Gathers Steam with an 8% Gain
ADA is up 8% over the past day, with its recent price action hinting at growing investor confidence. A key factor supporting this upward trajectory is the rise in its Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), signaling increased capital inflow and accumulation.

At press time, this indicator, which measures the flow of money into and out of an asset, rests above the zero line at 0.05 and is in an uptrend.
An asset’s positive CMF reading indicates that buying pressure is stronger than selling pressure, suggesting accumulation. This signals growing bullish sentiment in the ADA spot markets as more investors buy the altcoin.
Additionally, ADA’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is approaching a potential golden cross—a historically bullish indicator that occurs when the MACD line (blue) crosses above the signal line.
The MACD indicator measures asset price trends and identifies reversal points. When a potential golden cross emerges, it hints at an upcoming bullish crossover, often seen as an early indicator of upward momentum.

This suggests that ADA’s short-term price strength is increasing, which, if confirmed, could lead to a sustained price rally.
Cardano Bulls Eye $0.76 as Buying Pressure Mounts
A combined reading of these bullish signals reflects strong buying pressure behind ADA, with traders potentially anticipating a breakout. If momentum continues to build, ADA could soon challenge and surpass the resistance level at $0.64.
A break above this barrier may open the door for an extended rally, especially if broader market sentiment remains supportive. In that case, the coin’s price could reach $0.76.

On the other hand, if ADA loses its bullish momentum, it could drop to $0.54.

Hedera (HBAR) Jumps 14%—More Gains Ahead?

Hedera (HBAR) has recovered over 5% in the past week. Despite some corrections today, multiple technical indicators flash bullish signals, suggesting a potential shift in momentum.
The DMI shows buyers firmly in control, the Ichimoku Cloud has flipped bullish, and a golden cross appears close to forming on the EMA lines. With key resistance levels approaching, HBAR could be gearing up for an extended move—if the current momentum holds.
HBAR DMI Shows Buyers Are In Full Control
Hedera’s DMI chart is showing signs of strengthening trend momentum, with the ADX (Average Directional Index) rising to 24.17 from 21.82 just a day ago.
The ADX measures the strength of a trend regardless of its direction. Readings above 25 typically indicate a strong trend, while values between 20 and 25 suggest a trend may be developing.
With the ADX nearing that threshold, Hedera could be preparing for a more decisive move if momentum continues building.

Looking at the directional indicators, the +DI has surged to 35.05 from 22.33, while the -DI has dropped to 17.31 from 23.65. This widening gap between the bullish and bearish pressure signals a strong shift in favor of buyers.
If this setup holds, it could indicate a developing uptrend for HBAR, especially if the ADX continues to climb above 25.
The combination of rising bullish momentum and weakening selling pressure is a positive technical signal, suggesting that Hedera may be gearing up for further upside in the short term.
Hedera Ichimoku Cloud Shows A Bullish Setup
Hedera’s Ichimoku Cloud chart is flashing a bullish signal. After a strong move upward, price action broke above the red cloud (Kumo).
This breakout places the candles above both the Tenkan-sen (blue line) and the Kijun-sen (red line), which is generally seen as a sign of bullish momentum and short-term trend strength.
The cloud ahead has also started to thin, suggesting that resistance may be weakening. If momentum holds, further upside is more achievable.

The Chikou Span (lagging green line) is now positioned above the price candles and the cloud, reinforcing the bullish bias. However, with the cloud still showing a mostly flat and narrow structure, the current trend doesn’t yet show strong continuation signals.
If the price remains above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen continues to lead above the Kijun-sen, Hedera could sustain this upward trajectory.
But traders should watch closely for any signs of a reversal back into or below the cloud, which would weaken the bullish setup.
Hedera Could Surge Soon If The Golden Cross Emerges
Hedera’s EMA lines are tightening, signaling a potential breakout. A golden cross—where short-term EMAs move above long-term ones—appears to be forming, which would typically indicate a bullish trend reversal.
If confirmed, this setup could push Hedera price toward resistance levels at $0.18 and $0.20, and if the momentum holds, even higher targets like $0.21 and $0.258 may come into play.

However, this bullish scenario hinges on a successful break above the immediate resistance. If HBAR fails to clear the $0.18 level, it could trigger a pullback toward the support at $0.168.
Losing that support would likely expose Hedera to further downside. The next key levels are $0.153 and possibly below $0.13 if selling pressure intensifies.

3 Bullish Altcoins Surging After Trump’s Tariff Pause

Altcoins are showing fresh signs of life following Trump’s 90-day tariff pause, and three names in particular—XRP, HYPE, and ONDO—are catching investor attention.
Each has its own catalyst: XRP is getting a regulatory boost with Paul Atkins taking over the SEC, HYPE is defying the broader market downturn with impressive protocol revenue, and ONDO is riding the wave of rising institutional interest in Real-World Assets (RWA).
XRP
XRP fell sharply in the past month, losing 34% and dropping below $1.70 for the first time since November 2024. The decline came as macro uncertainty and regulatory pressure weighed on sentiment.
However, with Trump’s 90-day tariff pause and Paul Atkins confirmed as the new, pro-crypto SEC Chair, optimism is starting to return.
These developments could give XRP the regulatory breathing room it needs to regain momentum as one of the top-performing altcoins.

If that shift materializes, XRP may retest resistance at $2.17 and $2.23.
A break above those levels could set the stage for a push toward $2.50. Standard Chartered has even suggested XRP could overtake Ethereum by 2028, and Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road has fueled new expectations for rising institutional demand.
Still, holding $1.96 as support is key—if that level fails, a drop back toward sub-$1.70 lows remains possible.
Hyperliquid (HYPE)
HYPE has climbed 21.5% over the past week, defying the broader altcoin market downturn. The rally comes despite lingering criticism of the platform following the JELLY crisis, which raised concerns about Hyperliquid’s stability.
Still, traders seem to be regaining confidence, especially as the macro backdrop improves after Trump’s 90-day tariff pause.

Hyperliquid remains a powerhouse in terms of protocol revenue, pulling in $38 million in fees over the past month—$2.4 million of that in just the last 24 hours—ranking it 6th globally, ahead of names like PancakeSwap and Tron.
If momentum holds, HYPE could push toward resistance at $14.77, and a breakout could lead to $17.33 or even $21. But if the rally stalls support at $12.81 becomes key; losing that could send the price back to $11 or even below $10 in a deeper correction
Ondo Finance (ONDO)
Real-world asset (RWA) tokens are gaining momentum as a defensive narrative in crypto, especially in light of global economic uncertainty.
Binance Research recently stated that RWA altcoins remain safer than Bitcoin during tariff-driven volatility.
At the same time, BlackRock’s BUIDL token is nearing $1.5 billion in assets, and Fidelity has entered the RWA tokenization race—signaling growing institutional commitment to this emerging sector.

ONDO, one of the key tokens in the RWA space, is showing signs of strength on the charts, with a golden cross nearly forming.
If confirmed, ONDO could climb toward resistance levels at $0.90 and $0.95, with a breakout possibly pushing it above $1.
However, the price is hovering just above a key support at $0.82. If that level fails, the next downside target is $0.73, with a deeper slide potentially taking it below $0.70.
