📊 Bitcoin at 35% of the cycle

Every cycle looks the same in the middle - influencers scream “we’re early” while the clock is already ticking.

➡️ 2013: at 35%, the top was only months away
➡️ 2017: at 35%, the top was in the same year
➡️ 2021: at 35%, the top came in just 3 weeks
➡️ 2025: we are now at the same point

History does not repeat perfectly, but it rhymes.

🔒 COTI: a new take on Web3 privacy

COTI is a privacy layer built on Garbled Circuits that keeps data confidential across devices. It is live on Ethereum and 70 plus networks. The aim is simple. Make privacy the default for payments, RWA, and DeFi.

The project has backing from Morningstar Ventures, ran IEO and pre-sale rounds totaling 22.5M, and its token $COTI trades at a 210M plus FDV.

➡️ Where it applies: private DeFi with encrypted details and MEV protection. private payments, stablecoins, and CBDC. privacy-preserving ML. private DAO voting. sealed-bid auctions. RWA issuance with protected ownership and terms. selective disclosure for KYC and attestations.

➡️ Named adopters: ECB, Bancor, Syncra, Band Protocol, PriveX, Iagon, CodeX, Alphaday, Big Money, Hacken, MyEtherWallet, Cardano Djed, Bank of Israel, MetaMask, Plume, Safe.

➡️ Near-term plans: TPS benchmarking and a Hacken audit. industry roundtables for RWA. growth of the PrivEX perp DEX with AI agents. launch of the DJED stablecoin. migration to COTI V2 mainnet. an Incentive platform with gamified rewards. a public node sale by year end.

If COTI ships the Incentive platform and node sale on time, privacy stops being a niche feature and starts looking like baseline infrastructure.

📈 Is Uptober here for ETH?

Ethereum has been teasing the same playbook: consolidation in a box, fakeout wicks down, then a sharp leg higher. The chart is starting to rhyme again just as October begins.

➡️ Previous ranges this year resolved upward after short-term shakeouts
➡️ RSI resets at the lows gave fuel for the next rally
➡️ Current setup mirrors the same structure near $3,200–$3,400

The market loves symmetry. If history repeats, Uptober could deliver another breakout leg.

💰 Andre Cronje raises $200M for Flying Tulip

Andre Cronje’s new project Flying Tulip has closed a $200M round at a $1B valuation, with backers including Brevan Howard Digital, CoinFund, DWF Labs, FalconX, and Hypersphere. The team aims to raise another $800M through a public sale of $FT.

➡️ Building a full onchain exchange: spot, derivatives, lending, stablecoins, insurance
➡️ First launch on Sonic ($S) with zero trading fees
➡️ Key feature: “onchain redemption right” lets investors redeem funds anytime — downside protection with upside exposure
➡️ Capital will be deployed into Aave, Ethena, Spark to target ~4% yield, funding development and token buybacks

Cronje is betting on a model that mixes DeFi returns with TradFi-style investor protections - a rare blend in today’s market.
