Some analysts believe that the German government's massive sale of Bitcoin is the reason for the sluggish cryptocurrency market. In addition, traders are concerned that the stock market may have peaked and that the US fiscal situation is weakening. According to previous monitoring by the on-chain crypto analysis company Arkham, a wallet related to the German government transferred 6,500 BTC to exchanges on June 19th, worth $425 million at the time. The wallet holds nearly 50,000 BTC, reportedly seized from the pirated movie website Movie2k that has been operating since 2013. Data shows that these BTC were sent to Kraken, Bitstamp, and Coinbase. However, MicroStrategy disclosed that it has purchased an additional 11,931 BTC for $786 million, which offsets the selling pressure.

US CFTC: Federal court was "wrong" to allow Kalshi to launch prediction market
Lawyers from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) argued in a brief submitted to an appeals court that a federal judge "wrongly" allowed Kalshi to list and trade election contracts, and reiterated many of its arguments made in a lower court. Last month, a judge ruled that the CFTC could not prohibit Kalshi from listing election contracts.

On October 17th, the Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea, Lee Ju-yeol, stated during a parliamentary audit that "we are investigating the issue of AVAIL coins traded on Bithumb."
