Coinbase Adds 2 New Altcoins to Its Listing Roadmap

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Coinbase has added Pons (PONS) and Whuffie (WHUF) to its listing roadmap. The exchange’s official page lists PONS under the Robinhood network and WHUF under Base. The update signals preparations to support trading in both tokens, with a separate announcement required before trading begins.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Market data checked on October 6 showed PONS at $0.4086, up 3.4% over the previous 24 hours. Live pricing and daily percentage changes were not yet available for WHUF.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">What does Coinbase’s official announcement say?</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Coinbase uses its <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/blog/increasing-transparency-for-new-asset-listings-on-coinbase" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">official listing roadmap</a> to publicly disclose assets it has decided to list. The exchange aims to provide more equal access to information throughout the listing process.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The page includes network details and smart contract addresses for PONS and WHUF. These details help investors distinguish the tokens from other assets using the same name or ticker.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">However, inclusion on the roadmap does not mean transfers and spot trading have opened. Coinbase waits until sufficient technical infrastructure and market-making support are in place before launching trading; it says the launch announcement will appear on X.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The exchange also emphasizes that listings may face delays or cancellation. It reiterates that sending assets to <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/coinbase-exchange" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Coinbase</a> accounts before official support is announced could result in a permanent loss of funds.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">PONS retains weekly losses despite daily gains</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to CoinGecko data available at the time of writing, PONS traded between $0.3646 and $0.4126 over the previous 24 hours. At approximately $0.4086, the token was trading near the upper end of that range.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The same dataset showed daily trading volume of approximately $34.62 million and a market capitalization of $277.76 million. The circulating supply stood at approximately 680 million PONS.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/chart-1-dc2b4f15.webp" alt="chart (1).jpeg" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">However, the daily gain did not offset losses from previous days. PONS remained down 25.7% over the past seven days, leaving its weekly performance negative despite the short-term recovery.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">These figures cover the previous 24 hours and seven days. Since they do not separately measure the minute-by-minute movement before and after the announcement, the entire 3.4% gain cannot be attributed to Coinbase’s update.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Pons provides token creation and trading services on Robinhood Chain. According to the project’s official documentation, users approve transactions directly through their own wallets; the platform does not hold user funds.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The protocol also uses revenue to buy back PONS and sends the purchased tokens to a burn address. While this mechanism reduces supply, the documentation notes that burning tokens alone does not guarantee a price increase.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Daily price changes are not yet available for WHUF</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Whuffie is the Ethos protocol’s token, trading under the ticker WHUF. At the time of writing, market tracking tools displayed the asset’s page in “preview” mode and indicated that pricing data would become available later.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The tracking platform also reported that WHUF was not yet available for trading on the exchanges it covers. As a result, a verified spot price or a daily gain linked to Coinbase’s announcement could not be reported.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Ethos aims to measure users’ credibility and reputation on the blockchain. Its official documentation identifies reviews, linked social accounts, and users backing one another with tokens as core elements of the system.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">WHUF supports economic activities such as vouching, fees, bonds, and rewards. The project states that the total supply is fixed at 10 million tokens and that all protocol fees are burned.</p>

BlackRock Outlines a New Scenario for Bitcoin and Stablecoins: The AI Economy

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">BlackRock said artificial intelligence agents could become a new source of demand for digital assets. According to the firm, stablecoins could take the lead in automated payments, while Bitcoin could serve as a long-term store of value.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">“The Machine-Native Economy” <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/financial-professionals/insights/machine-native-economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">report</a>, shared in BlackRock’s October 5 website article, examines the economic relationship between AI and blockchain. The firm highlights how software performing increasingly independent tasks could require programmable payment infrastructure.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Stablecoins could lead AI payments</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">AI agents are systems capable of completing multiple tasks toward a specific goal with limited human intervention. As these systems purchase data, access software services and rent computing power, they also need ways to make payments.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to BlackRock, blockchain networks could provide suitable infrastructure for very small transactions repeated throughout the day. Stablecoins’ price stability could make it easier to price services and plan payments.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Figures cited by the firm show that stablecoins’ total circulating market capitalization exceeded $300 billion as of September 2026. Adjusted transaction volume surpassed $11 trillion in 2025.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">BlackRock sees this scale as an existing foundation for the AI economy. It also notes that traditional payment systems will remain important in agents’ interactions with businesses and consumers.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">A store-of-value scenario for Bitcoin</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The report’s <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin </a>discussion draws on research conducted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute. In controlled simulations, AI models preferred stablecoins for everyday payments and Bitcoin for long-term value preservation.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">BlackRock explicitly states that the findings reflect simulated model responses rather than observed real-world transactions. The research therefore does not show that agents are currently accumulating Bitcoin.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The firm views these findings as preliminary evidence pointing toward a possible monetary structure in which stablecoins function as a means of payment and Bitcoin serves as a store of value.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Automated payments could increase blockchain usage</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The report also highlights Coinbase’s x402 protocol. This infrastructure enables software to initiate payments for data or services and access the requested resource once payment has been verified.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to BlackRock, increased activity on permissionless blockchain networks could generate demand for network capacity and validator services. However, the extent to which a network’s native cryptoasset benefits will depend on design features such as transaction fees and staking.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Computing power could become a digital asset market</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">BlackRock also identifies the computing capacity required by AI as a potential market for digital assets. Standardized capacity contracts could allow rights to computing resources to be traded and used in financing arrangements.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">In such a market, agents could compare resources by price and performance before purchasing what they need. However, the firm emphasizes that agent-driven payments and liquidity in computing capacity markets remain limited.</p>

Bithumb Announces 2 Altcoin Listings: Won Pairs for BR and POD

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb announced plans to introduce Korean won trading pairs for Bedrock (BR) and Dolphin (POD). The exchange’s October 6 announcement outlines the listing schedule and supported transfer networks for both tokens.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Trading Times Announced for BR and POD</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to Bithumb’s <a href="https://feed.bithumb.com/notice/1655191" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">official announcement</a>, BR/KRW trading was scheduled to open on October 6 at 10:00 UTC, followed by POD/KRW at 11:00 UTC. The exchange noted that opening times could be delayed depending on liquidity conditions.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">BR transfers are supported on BNB Smart Chain, while POD transfers use Base. Bithumb said deposits through other networks would not be supported; BR deposits require 15 network confirmations, while POD deposits require 200.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The exchange set reference prices at 590 won for BR and 1,086 won for POD. These figures do not represent the first executed trade prices; Bithumb uses reference prices as the starting point on charts on the listing day.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Temporary Order Restrictions Apply at Launch</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Under the listing rules, buy orders are restricted for the first five minutes. During the same period, sell orders priced at least 10% below or at least 100% above the reference price are also restricted.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Only limit orders are available for approximately two hours after trading begins. Bithumb also said it planned to enable deposits and withdrawals within two hours of publishing the announcement.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bedrock Develops Bitcoin-Focused Yield Products</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bedrock is a decentralized finance project built around staking and restaking products. Its current documentation describes a transition under Bedrock 2.0 toward a system that directs Bitcoin capital across different yield sources.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bedrock’s official website highlights products such as uniBTC and brBTC. Through these products, the platform aims to give users access to Bitcoin-related yield opportunities, including DeFi strategies, institutional credit, and market-based returns.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">BR serves as the project’s governance token. According to Bedrock DAO documentation, users can lock BR to receive veBR, allowing them to participate in decisions about protocol incentives and reward distribution.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The project’s tokenomics documentation lists a total supply of 1 billion BR. It also specifies an initial circulating supply of 210 million BR, equivalent to 21% of the total; this figure refers to the token’s circulation at launch.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Following the listing announcement, <a href="http://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/br" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bedrock</a> gained nearly 25%.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/brusdt-2026-10-06-14-46-20-c377d2cd.webp" alt="BRUSDT_2026-10-06_14-46-20.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Dolphin Focuses on Distributed AI Infrastructure</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Dolphin works on artificial intelligence model development and distributed inference services. The project overview in LBank’s <a href="https://www.lbank.info/fil/support/articles/2053736920306941952" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">official POD listing announcement</a> describes Dolphin Network as a decentralized AI inference network.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The project aims to bring idle GPU capacity from gamers and other graphics card owners into the network. Participants’ hardware provides computing power by processing a portion of the network’s AI requests.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to the document, the network combines encryption, randomly sampled verification, and economic bonding mechanisms to maintain its integrity. This model aims to bring hardware from different users together into a shared computing service.</p>

Standard Chartered’s 2030 Price Targets for 4 Altcoins

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s head of digital assets research, discussed four projects that could benefit from traditional finance moving onto blockchain networks. Speaking on Milk Road’s October 1 episode, Kendrick identified Uniswap, <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/aave" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Aave</a>, Morpho and Arbitrum as projects well positioned for this shift.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The 2030 price targets discussed in the interview were $100 for UNI, $3,500 for AAVE, $60 for MORPHO and $10 for ARB. Kendrick outlined the reasoning behind his previously published forecasts and the conditions needed to reach those targets.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Tokenization could bring new demand to DeFi protocols</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Kendrick’s outlook centers on tokenization, which allows financial assets to be represented on a blockchain. According to the analyst, institutional adoption could increase the value of assets held onchain while expanding the use of decentralized finance applications.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This approach places greater importance on fee revenue and cash flows when assessing projects. Kendrick focuses on protocols that can capture a share of financial institutions’ onchain activity, defend their competitive advantages and pass the economic value they generate through to their tokens.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Standard Chartered previously projected that the stablecoin market would reach $2 trillion by the end of 2028. The bank also forecasts $2 trillion in tokenized real-world assets, excluding stablecoins, by the same date; together, the two categories would represent a $4 trillion market.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Uniswap’s $100 target may be too low</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Kendrick believes his previously established 2030 target for Uniswap could prove too conservative. The platform’s deep liquidity and token-burning mechanism are central to that view.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to the analyst, a platform with strong liquidity has an advantage in attracting new users and trading activity. As trading volumes for tokenized assets grow, Uniswap’s ability to serve that demand becomes increasingly important for UNI.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Kendrick also notes that buybacks and burns linked to trading fees can translate platform growth into value for the token. However, he did not replace the $100 target with a new forecast during the interview; he pointed to potential upside beyond his existing projection.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Aave and Morpho address different financial needs</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The 2030 target for AAVE stands at $3,500. Kendrick compares Aave to an onchain banking business, while describing Morpho as a platform serving asset managers.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This distinction shows that he does not view the two projects’ growth as mutually exclusive. In his assessment, lending services and asset management infrastructure can meet different needs within the same ecosystem.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Morpho on July 1 with a $60 price target for the end of 2030. Alongside Morpho’s lending market, the bank sees its vault infrastructure as an important part of the growth outlook.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">These vaults allow asset managers to offer different strategies onchain. The bank’s long-term expectations depend particularly on capital flowing into this infrastructure from traditional financial institutions.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Arbitrum’s revenue growth must translate into token value</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The $10 target for ARB by the end of 2030 rests on the opportunity to provide blockchain infrastructure to financial institutions. In its September analysis, Standard Chartered highlighted Robinhood Chain as a key example supporting this growth outlook.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">During the Milk Road interview, Kendrick explained that Arbitrum could benefit from the expansion of tokenized equities. However, how the network’s economic success would translate into value for ARB holders remained an unresolved issue.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Kendrick noted that revenue currently does not flow directly into token buybacks and burns. He said he would welcome the introduction of such a mechanism in the future; the $10 target therefore reflects expectations for both revenue growth and the transfer of value to the token.</p>

4 Crypto Treasury Companies Announce New Purchases as Bitcoin and Ethereum Reserves Grow

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Publicly traded companies accumulating cryptocurrencies shared new reserve updates on October 5. Strategy announced the purchase of 334 Bitcoin, Strive added 2,000 Bitcoin, and Bitmine acquired 15,112 Ethereum. Metaplanet also increased its reserves by a net 1,000 BTC during the third quarter after selling 10,000 BTC and purchasing 11,000 BTC.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The announcements cover different trading periods. Strategy’s and Strive’s latest purchases span late September and early October, while Metaplanet’s sales and repurchases cover the third quarter.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Strategy’s Bitcoin reserves reach 848,000 BTC</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Strategy disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it purchased 334 BTC between October 1 and 4. The company spent approximately $28.7 million, paying an average of $85,838.80 per Bitcoin.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The filing divided the weekly activity into two periods to account for the quarter-end. Strategy made no Bitcoin purchases between September 28 and 30, acquiring all 334 BTC during the first four days of October.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The latest purchases increased the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 848,000 BTC. The aggregate acquisition cost reached approximately $63.97 billion, with an average cost of $75,440.70 per Bitcoin.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Strategy funded $15.7 million of the purchase using net proceeds from MSTR share sales. It covered the remaining $13 million with cash; the reported acquisition costs include fees and expenses.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Metaplanet sells 10,000 Bitcoin and buys 11,000 BTC</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Metaplanet’s third-quarter transactions revealed a different approach to reserve management. The Japanese company sold 10,000 BTC and subsequently purchased 11,000 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 44,000 BTC as of September 30.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to the company’s official announcement, the transactions aimed to demonstrate its ability to convert Bitcoin reserves into cash when needed. Metaplanet intends to strengthen confidence in its creditworthiness and broaden access to financing options such as bonds and preferred shares.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The company received approximately ¥124.7 billion from the sales and allocated roughly ¥149.9 billion to purchases. The average sale price was ¥12.47 million per Bitcoin, compared with an average purchase price of ¥13.63 million.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Metaplanet also stated that it did not repay its existing debt as part of these transactions. After repurchasing Bitcoin, the company ended the quarter with a net increase of 1,000 BTC; the gross purchase of 11,000 BTC therefore does not represent an equivalent increase in reserves.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Strive purchases approximately $169 million in Bitcoin</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to Strive CEO Matt Cole’s October 5 announcement, the company purchased 2,000 BTC for approximately $169 million. The average purchase price was $84,422 per Bitcoin, bringing total reserves to 29,462 BTC.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Cole said 61.5% of the capital raised came through SATA, while warrants generated $56.7 million. He also noted that the company’s 8-K filing submitted that day included key financial metrics for the third quarter.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Strive’s latest Bitcoin purchase was approximately six times the size of Strategy’s in BTC terms. Combined, the two companies announced purchases totaling 2,334 BTC, with spending of approximately $197.7 million.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">At the time of writing, <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin</a> is trading at $86,060.24.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/btcusdt-2026-10-05-16-13-59-8df4c244.webp" alt="BTCUSDT_2026-10-05_16-13-59.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bitmine adds 15,112 ETH to its Ethereum reserves</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">On the Ethereum side, Bitmine announced that it purchased 15,112 ETH over the past week. According to the company’s October 5 release, its total Ethereum holdings reached 6,016,414 ETH as of October 4.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitmine said these holdings represent 4.9% of the total supply of approximately 122.1 million ETH. The company continues to pursue its goal of accumulating 5% of Ethereum’s supply.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Chairman Tom Lee said the company has purchased ETH every week since launching its Ethereum treasury strategy on June 30, 2025. Bitmine has 5,067,309 ETH staked, representing approximately 84% of its total ETH reserves.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The company reported a combined value of $17.4 billion for its crypto assets, cash, marketable securities, and other specified investments. It used a reference price of $2,726 per Ethereum for this calculation.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at around $2,716.62.</p>
