🚀Bitcoin Soars Above $72,000

GM Defiers!

Markets surged on Tuesday, with Bitcoin hitting an intraday high of $72,900 — within 1% of its all-time high. ETH rallied 7%, while SOL and DOT gained 5%.

Solana’s Raydium DEX hosted its highest daily volume on Oct. 23, with users trading $1.8 billion worth of assets in 24 hours. However, Uniswap remains the top decentralized exchange by weekly volume.

Coinbase launched a platform allowing users to deploy AI agents on Base in just five steps. The move suggests AI agents on Base may soon proliferate.

Many AI-linked memecoins appear to be little more than a flash in the pan, with GNON and FLAVIA crashing more than 90% from their respective highs.

Also, Circle and Inco Network are working on “confidential” ERC0-20 tokens, and Google Cloud teams up with Mantra on an RWA incubator.
