This last week of crypto October was an interesting one. It started with crypto market sentiment dropping out of the positive zone, and then we learned that bitcoin was outperformed by several coins in the past year, but still has more holders profiting, that the pandemic crisis has been driving US investors to bitcoin, and that interest in BTC spiked after PayPal’s crypto news was supported by JPMorgan and Kanye West. Vitalik Buterin still doesn’t know when ETH 2.0 could arrive but said clients can launch it on their own, and DeFi could be a threat to ETH 2.0 number of stakers. Then Harvest Finance suffered a flashloan attack, and crypto scammers who hacked into Donald Trump’s election campaign looking for payment in monero seemingly sparked a new interest in the privacy coin.

While GDF gave 13 critical issues for the Fed to mull over before launching a digital dollar, Cambodia’s CBDC launched, a ‘large’ tech company started using JPMorgan Coin, banking giant DBS with 11m clients may be on the verge of launching a crypto exchange, Toyota’s tech arm said it will begin a “digital currency” pilot with DeCurret exchange, WEG Bank’s fintech division partnered up with a custody provider to offer crypto custody solutions, MicroStrategy said that more BTC purchases are in the pipeline, and FTX launched trading of many equity and crypto pairs, with Apple, Tesla, Google and other stocks. The head of a Russian crypto and blockchain industry group accused the central bank of purposefully slowing down the crypto progress, while the leading Peruvian regulator said the pandemic will not delay the crypto regulation plans. Also, the Cryptoverse was not happy after yet another Coinbase incident.

On to the jokes!
