David Lawant Says Bitcoin May Be Entering a New Bullish Regime, Citing Options Market Signals

Bitcoin Magazine highlighted comments from David Lawant, head of research at Anchorage Digital, who said Bitcoin may be entering a new bullish regime based on signals from the derivatives market. The discussion centered on Bitcoin futures open interest rising back above $50 billion for the first time this year, a move Lawant described as a sign of market vitality rather than an automatic warning on leverage. According to the program summary, Lawant pointed to rising spot trading volume and thinner order books as signs that the market could be in the early phase of an upward shift. The episode also covered how to read Bitcoin market structure beyond open interest, the role of a liquidity absorption ratio, and what options data can reveal that spot price alone may not show. Other topics listed in the episode chapters included the $60 billion Bitcoin options market, the volatility curve, elevated short-dated Bitcoin volatility in 2026, lessons from Anchorage’s 37,000 covered call backtests, and how ETFs and treasury companies are changing price discovery. Bitcoin Magazine also included a disclaimer stating that the views expressed were those of the participants and were provided for informational and educational purposes only.

Hyperliquid co-founder says private markets present a major opportunity

Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan said during Korea Blockchain Week 2026 on Sept. 30 that private markets with access restrictions represent a "huge opportunity." He said enabling global market participants to discover prices for those assets would ultimately carry social value. Yan also said Hyperliquid is exploring opportunities across a broader set of financial markets. His comments come after the platform has gradually expanded the range of tradable assets on offer and moved into adjacent areas including prediction markets and options. The remarks outline how Hyperliquid is framing its next phase of product exploration: not only widening the asset universe available on the platform, but also looking at market structures that could bring pricing activity to assets that have traditionally been less accessible.

Marvell Technology (MRVL) traded at $240.79, down 1.42% from $244.25, while Micron (MU) stood at $1,001.85, off 1.37% from $1,015.8.

Kalshi co-founder says open competition drives price discovery in financial markets

Kalshi co-founder Tarek Mansour said in a post on X that the prediction market platform bought full-page advertisements in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post ahead of the U.S. Open men’s final. Using the career of tennis great Pete Sampras to frame his argument, Mansour said open competition exposes weaknesses, rewards effective strategies and forces participants to keep improving. He argued that financial markets work in much the same way. In trading, participants express their views on an asset’s value with capital, and better information is rewarded. Those differing views are then aggregated into a single market price, which in his view is how price discovery happens. Mansour added that a truly open market should let anyone participate under the same rules while keeping prices and trading activity transparent.

Trade.xyz priced SHEIN’s weak debut ahead of Hong Kong listing

SHEIN began trading in Hong Kong on Sept. 1 under the stock short name SHEIN-W and stock code 00625. The company priced its IPO at HK$48.56 per share, raising about HK$13.6 billion and reaching an estimated listing valuation of roughly $26 billion. On its first trading day, the stock opened flat at the offer price, then fell quickly and at one point slid to around HK$43.72, a drop of about 10%. BlockBeats said the SHEIN Pre-IPO market on Trade.xyz, part of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, again showed notable price-discovery ability. The day before the listing, the SHEIN pair on Trade.xyz saw a 15% flash drop, effectively pricing in a break below the IPO price before Hong Kong trading began. As of publication, the xyz:SHEIN contract was trading at about $5.69. Converted using the Hong Kong dollar linked exchange rate, that works out to about HK$44.6, close to the roughly HK$44 range seen in SHEIN’s intraday trading on its first day.

Ansem: Crypto Market Still in Early Stage, Price-Discovery Tokens Near Breakout Starting Point

Crypto KOL Ansem says the digital asset market is still in a very early phase of its current cycle, reaffirming a view he first expressed two weeks ago. In comments reported by BlockBeats on Aug 30, he argued that even investors who have not yet allocated to relevant tokens can still capture relatively high returns — provided they begin tracking the market now, formulate a trading plan and set staggered buy-in price points. For tokens that have already entered price discovery, Ansem said their current prices remain close to the starting point of this round's breakout, and subsequent entries may not necessarily offer a significantly better position than today's levels. His advice: investors without holdings should prepare their plans in advance rather than wait until market-wide attention has fully heated up before making decisions. Ansem's comments separate tokens already in price discovery from the broader market picture, while maintaining that the overall cycle remains at an early stage. For unpositioned investors, the window to build a structured entry plan, in his view, is now.

Crypto KOL Ansem Reiterates Early-Stage Market View, Urges Investors to Plan Ahead

Crypto KOL Ansem said he still believes the current market is in a very early phase, a view he first expressed two weeks ago. According to ChainCatcher, he argued that even investors who have not yet allocated to relevant tokens could see relatively high returns by starting to watch the market now, setting up a trading plan and establishing batch buy prices. For tokens that have already entered price discovery, Ansem said current prices are still close to the starting point of the latest breakout, meaning later entries may not offer a significantly better position. He therefore advised investors without existing positions to prepare ahead of time, rather than waiting until market attention has fully heated up before acting.
