Uniswap Adds Support for Solana
Starting with news about a great partnership. Uniswap has officially expanded its reach by integrating with the Solana blockchain.
The team emphasized that this is only the first stage of Solana support on the popular DEX. In the future, the developers will integrate cross-chain transfers and exchanges, as well as Uniswap Wallet.
This marks a major step toward cross-chain functionality and interoperability between decentralized ecosystems. With Solana’s high throughput and low fees, users can now enjoy a more seamless trading experience.
$3.17 Billion Flows Into Crypto Funds Despite Market Correction
Despite recent market turbulence following the “Black Saturday” collapse, institutional confidence in digital assets remains high. Over $3.17 billion entered crypto investment funds, signaling that large-scale investors are taking advantage of lower prices to accumulate positions.
Analysts noted that the announcement by US President Donald Trump to impose 100% duties on Chinese imports had almost no effect on the dynamics of instruments. On October 10, the outflow amounted to $159 million.
Since January, the total inflow has reached $48.67 billion. The figure surpassed the total amount of investments over the past year – $48.56 billion. Trading volumes totaled $53 billion, twice the 2025 average.
So we can say that this inflow highlights growing resilience and long-term optimism across the crypto sector.
Bitcoin Whales Sell 17,500 BTC Amid Market Downturn
As the market correction continues, Bitcoin whales have reportedly sold around 17,500 BTC.
On October 16, the Bitcoin price dropped below $110,000. The Block highlights that analysts attributed the 12% drop from the recent all-time high to sales from large holders, tensions in trade relations between the United States and China, and increased demand for put options.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan called this event a structural “reset” rather than a market collapse.
This sell-off reflects cautious investor sentiment as BTC faced increased volatility over the past week.
Bitcoin Treasuries Grow by 40% in Three Months
And another news about BTC. While whales might be selling, corporate and institutional treasuries are doing the opposite.
From July to September, 48 new companies joined the accumulation of the first cryptocurrency. The total number of corporate holders of digital gold has reached 172, Bitwise noted.
So, the total number of Bitcoin treasuries has grown by 40% in just three months.
Hunter Horsley, CEO of the asset manager, called the performance “outstanding.” He stressed that not only private investors, but also public firms are showing interest in bitcoin.
This surge shows that businesses increasingly view Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset amid ongoing inflation concerns and global economic uncertainty.
Ethereum Developers Successfully Deploy Fusaka Upgrade on Sepolia Testnet
We heard the news from Solana, but what about another big blockchain network? On October 14, a test version of a large-scale Ethereum update called Fusaka was successfully deployed on the Sepolia network.
So, in short, Ethereum continues to make strides toward scalability and privacy.
The next stage will be testing the upgrade in Hoodi: it’s scheduled for October 28. On December 3, the hard fork was deployed in the mainnet of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Just to remind: Fusaka’s main goal is to increase the scalability and efficiency of Ethereum. The key improvement will be the implementation of the PeerDAS protocol (EIP-7594). It is expected to double the network capacity.
