BlockBeats News, October 18, according to Ember monitoring, the large-scale profit-making entity of COAI is likely an external group engaged in Alpha token arbitrage or quantitative trading, rather than the project team of a single project. This batch of addresses withdrew BNB from a certain exchange in a highly similar manner, and all addresses were created on March 25, which are characteristics of a single entity. However, since July, these addresses have been conducting a large number of Alpha token trades every day, trading dozens of tokens daily with thousands of transactions, indicating very high frequency trading. In addition, each of these addresses has traded more than 240 different tokens and executed over 45,000 transactions in the past 30 days. Such scale and frequency can basically only be achieved by trading bots operated by arbitrage or quantitative trading groups. Previously, it was reported that Bubblemaps indicated a suspected single entity controls half of the high-profit COAI addresses, with total profits reaching $13 million.

BlockBeats News, October 18 — With Trump’s remarks on Friday easing trade tension concerns and regional bank stocks rebounding, Wall Street finally closed the week in the green after a period of unease. Bonds, gold, and silver all fell in response. Wall Street is about to enter a crucial week for interpreting the real situation of American companies: the peak of Q3 earnings releases and the release of key inflation data. The following are the main market highlights to watch in the coming week (all times UTC+8): Monday 10:00, China Q3 GDP annual rate; Monday 22:00, US September Conference Board Leading Index monthly rate; Tuesday, the Federal Reserve holds a payments innovation conference to discuss stablecoins, artificial intelligence, and tokenization; Tuesday 21:00, Federal Reserve Governor Waller delivers the opening remarks at the Federal Reserve Board Payments Innovation Conference; Wednesday 03:30, Federal Reserve Governor Waller delivers the closing remarks at the Federal Reserve Board Payments Innovation Conference; Friday 20:30, US September unadjusted CPI annual rate, US September seasonally adjusted CPI/core CPI monthly rate, US September unadjusted core CPI annual rate. Due to the ongoing US government shutdown, the market will focus on the only major data release next week — September CPI, to be published on Friday. Regardless of the data outcome, investors almost unanimously expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates by another 25 basis points at the October 28-29 meeting. The September CPI report is particularly noteworthy as it will be one of the few official economic data releases from US government statistical agencies during the shutdown that began on October 1.
