JPMorgan strategists expect U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds to outperform Treasuries in the fourth quarter.
According to CoinWorld news, JPMorgan strategists expect U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds to outperform U.S. Treasuries in the fourth quarter, citing reasons including slowing sales at large technology companies and strong corporate earnings. The bank expects the spread of its JULI index relative to Treasuries to narrow from 0.96 percentage points last Friday to 0.85 percentage points. Strategists noted that declining interest rate volatility and relatively stronger domestic and international demand after yields stabilized are "bullish" catalysts driving demand.

BTC liquidation pressure: watch $83,100 to the downside and $88,000 to the upside.
According to CoinWorld data: BTC is currently priced at around $85,300. If the price drops about 2.5% to around $83,100, some high-leverage longs may face concentrated liquidations; if the price rises about 3.25% to around $88,000, some high-leverage shorts may face concentrated liquidations. The liquidation zone below is currently closer to the present price, meaning that if the price moves downward, long liquidation pressure may emerge earlier. Other notable zones: $81,200 and $76,100 below; $93,100 and $101,500 above. The above levels are estimated based on public market prices and changes in open interest, do not mean the price will necessarily reach them, and are not predictions of price direction. Compared with the same-caliber snapshot 24 hours ago, it is down 0.08%.
Why token unlocks sometimes crash crypto prices and sometimes have no effect
Token unlock events sometimes trigger sharp sell-offs, while other times they barely move prices, depending mainly on supply, liquidity, recipients, and market expectations. A crypto project may announce a token unlock worth hundreds of millions of dollars, yet the price hardly budges, while another token may face strong selling pressure even with a smaller release. Unlocks are the release of previously restricted tokens according to a project's vesting schedule, for founders, employees, and early investors to receive. The market impact of an unlock depends on the recipients, the size of the release relative to circulating supply, and the market's ability to absorb potential sell pressure. Tokenomist tracks the ratio of upcoming unlocks to existing circulating supply to show the potential expansion of tradable float. A release amounting to 15% of circulating supply could significantly alter the supply dynamics of a small token, while a 0.5% release is more likely to be absorbed by the market. The destination of the unlock matters equally. Tokens released to early investors may raise more concerns, since these holders have an extremely low cost basis and are therefore more motivated to realize profits.

The U.S. government introduces a new 'superintelligence' governance framework.
According to news from Bijie, the U.S. federal government has recently formally entered a new phase of technology regulation, introducing a "superintelligence" governance framework that prioritizes national security. The framework is led by an artificial intelligence working group headed by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, marking that the government no longer views artificial intelligence solely from the perspective of market regulation. The newly established working group reports directly to President Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, placing it at the highest level of decision-making. This move was formally established through Executive Order 14434, requiring the term "artificial intelligence" to be replaced with "superintelligence" in all official communications. The implementation of this policy means that the government views these systems as strategic assets or threats requiring a national security response. The working group's task is to coordinate federal interaction with a broad range of stakeholders, including consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, and critical infrastructure providers. At the same time, the White House has also signed voluntary "Superintelligence Company" agreements with major industry participants such as Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, XAI, and Nvidia, although this voluntary commitment stands in sharp contrast to increasingly serious rogue artificial intelligence behavior.
