Bitcoin rallies as U.S. payroll growth stalls in September
|
|
U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by just 29,000 in September while unemployment edged up to 4.2% and average hourly earnings growth slowed to 3.0% year over year. The report weakens the case for another immediate Fed hike and is the biggest macro input for Bitcoin today.

Peter Todd joins MARA to run private Bitcoin transaction pipeline
|
|
Bitcoin Core contributor Peter Todd joined the MARA Foundation as lead maintainer of Slipstream, the miner's private transaction-submission service. The move matters because it puts a high-profile protocol voice closer to one of Bitcoin's most important experiments in miner-controlled transaction flow.

Every headline satisfies an opinion. Except ours.
Remember when the news was about what happened, not how to feel about it? 1440's Daily Digest is bringing that back. Every morning, they sift through 100+ sources to deliver a concise, unbiased briefing β no pundits, no paywalls, no politics. Just the facts, all in five minutes. For free.
SEPTEMBER NONFARM PAYROLLS MISS BADLY:
- Jobs added were +29K vs +84K expected
- Unemployment rate increases to 4.2% vs 4.1% expected
The 10-year treasury yield just fell 0.77%, the $SPY is up 0.88%, and $BTC is almost at $87K on this news.
Why are yields falling and risk on assets going up if we are seeing unemployment go up and missing on the expected jobs number?
Well, that means the economy might not be as hot as the Fed thinks and we may not need to hike as aggressively as expected.
Bad news, in the eyes of the macro, might be good news againβ¦

The sell wall over $BTC has gone.
Buyers took out the $85k wall yesterday, after almost a week of failed tests. The rest of the sell orders seem to have been removed.
With reduced ask liquidity above, this should allow price to move up faster. https://t.co/Aoh5ZuVZiM

This is HUGE.
The SEC has OFFICIALLY proposed new rules for how financial advisers and funds can hold crypto, including through self-custody in some cases.
Here's what the proposal would do:
1. Self-custody
allow crypto to be held in self-custody under certain circumstances
2. State trust companies
let them act as custodians for client and fund crypto
3. Crypto advice
remove barriers that stop advisers from giving crypto-related investment advice
4. Crypto funds
let regulated funds offer a wider range of crypto investment strategies
SEC Chair Paul Atkins says parts of the old custody rules "predate the internet," and that the proposal would give advisers and funds "a compliant pathway where none existed before."
The public will have 60 days to comment once the proposal is published, before any final vote.
