More →LNG shipments through Hormuz rebound, easing supply tightness.
According to news from Bijie, LNG transportation through the Strait of Hormuz is recovering, and supply tightness is expected to ease. Liquefied natural gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have continued their recovery momentum since September, with gas-producing countries working to restore exports to customers facing tight energy supplies. According to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg and Kpler, at least three LNG cargoes have left the Strait of Hormuz since last weekend. The volume of LNG shipped through the strait rose in September to the highest level since the Iran conflict broke out at the end of February, but it was still more than 75% below pre-war levels. The market is closely watching LNG transportation through the Strait of Hormuz for signs that supply tightness is easing. Last month's supply shortage pushed natural gas prices in Europe and Asia to their highest levels since the end of 2022. If transportation volumes continue to recover, it could help ease price pressure before the Northern Hemisphere winter arrives, as winter heating demand typically increases sharply. However, after several recent incidents, the risks facing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remain relatively high.

US Crypto Tax Deadlines: What Investors Need to Know
According to data from Bijie.com: As the 2025 federal tax filing deadline approaches, U.S. crypto investors must submit their tax returns by October 15, 2026. The IRS stated that although taxpayers who request an extension receive additional time to file, unpaid taxes begin accruing interest and penalties from the original deadline. In the first tax filing season of 2025, many custodial brokers have already reported digital asset sales on Form 1099-da. The new form provides more transaction data, but most statements do not provide investors' cost basis. The IRS warned that taxpayers need to calculate the original purchase cost of their assets themselves in order to determine gains or losses. The 2025 Form 1040 requires every taxpayer to answer the digital asset question, and the IRS explained that taxpayers who receive digital assets need to report the related income. The IRS also pointed out that unpaid taxes may face a penalty, typically 5% of the unpaid tax.
Trump advisors call for Powell's resignation, potentially bullish for Bitcoin.
CoinWorld data: Trump's chief economic adviser Kevin Hassett called on former Fed Chair Jerome Powell to resign from the Federal Reserve Board during a Fox News program, opening a new debate over the direction of Fed policy. Hassett said Powell should "leave" in order to respect the Fed's independence. Trump has also called for Powell to be "forced to resign," continuing to pressure him. Powell's position is crucial to Bitcoin because he remains a member of the Federal Open Market Committee. Powell's departure would create a vacancy for Trump to nominate a new member, affecting future interest rate expectations. Although Powell's departure would not necessarily lower interest rates immediately, Trump's nomination would influence the Fed's monetary policy. Market expectations for an October rate hike have fallen to about 18%, while Bitcoin rebounded after weak September nonfarm payroll data, once breaking above $87,000.
Ethereum staking wait time reaches 25 days, with nearly 1.5 million ETH queued.
Data from Bijie: Ethereum's staking wait time has reached 25 days, with about 1.5 million ETH queued to exit. After MetaMask disclosed a security incident last week and began withdrawing validators, Ethereum's staking exit queue surged more than fivefold within three days, becoming the longest wait time since 2026. On September 29, about 166,000 ETH were waiting to exit, and by October 2, that number had climbed to about 851,000 ETH, accounting for about 2% of the 43.6 million ETH staked. As of Monday, about 786,000 ETH were still waiting to exit, worth more than $2 billion, with an expected wait time of nearly 14 days. Staking allows holders to earn rewards by submitting ETH to validators, and the network limits the speed at which validators can join or leave to prevent sudden changes in security.
Citigroup strategists say corporate earnings are expected to continue driving stock markets higher in 2027.
Citi strategists say corporate earnings are expected to continue driving stock markets higher in 2027. Citi strategists said that despite elevated interest rates and lingering geopolitical risks, solid corporate earnings in 2027 can support global stock markets in continuing to rise. The strategy team led by David Groman and Beata Manthey forecasts that global stocks will gain about 6% by the end of this year, with the rally driven by earnings growth rather than valuation expansion. They maintain overweight ratings on the United States, Japan, and the global technology sector, based on earnings momentum and AI-driven growth. They maintain neutral ratings on European markets excluding the UK and on emerging markets. Europe and emerging markets remain vulnerable to geopolitical risks. The financials sector was downgraded to neutral, and the real estate sector was downgraded to underweight.

The Federal Reserve builds bank-grade infrastructure for the GENIUS Act.
According to Bijie News, the Federal Reserve is building the bank-grade infrastructure for the GENIUS Act, involving two proposed rules (NPRMs), and has set a deadline. Three federal agencies are building different layers of the U.S. stablecoin market: the Federal Reserve defines the underlying technology, the Treasury establishes issuance standards, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversees the issuance process. The Federal Reserve's contribution arrives on September 24, 2026, through two proposed rules, setting strict 1:1 reserve requirements, prohibiting rehypothecation, and tailoring capital requirements to issuers' business models. The Treasury and SEC's related standards are also approaching their comment deadlines, and the industry has a 72-hour feedback window before the Federal Reserve's November 30 deadline.
