Iran's Revolutionary Guard says another supertanker struck a mine in the Strait of Hormuz. The Public Relations Department of the Naval Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement saying: A second supertanker struck a mine in the Strait of Hormuz. This evening, a supertanker accused of violating regulations struck a mine in the southern waters of the Strait of Hormuz, causing an explosion and fire in the engine room. The tanker, loaded with crude oil and preparing to leave the Strait of Hormuz, had turned off all navigation systems, violated the navigation regulations of the Strait of Hormuz, and caused this incident by entering an unauthorized shipping lane. Since yesterday, this is already the third tanker accused of violating regulations to strike a mine and catch fire in an unauthorized lane in the Strait of Hormuz.

CoinWorld data: ETH is currently priced at approximately $2,549.13.

IMF report: Tokenized stocks show real demand but high volatility
According to CoinWorld data: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) noted in its latest Global Financial Stability Report that although the tokenized stock market is relatively small, it demonstrates real demand. More than half of tokenized stock trades occur outside regular U.S. market trading hours, and about 80% of trades involve less than a full share, indicating strong demand from retail investors for partial ownership. The IMF studied five of the most liquid tokenized U.S. stocks, including tokens of Tesla, Nvidia, and the S&P 500, and found that on-chain prices convey real information. The report also noted that tokenized stocks are about 1.5 times more volatile than the underlying stocks and have poorer liquidity, especially on decentralized exchanges. The market is currently worth about $2.3 billion, with Ondo Finance and Backed Finance's XStocks accounting for more than 70% of market share. The IMF recommends that regulators consider setting up circuit breakers for 24/7 trading and monitor links to traditional markets more closely.
US inflation is expected to reach 3.7% before the Fed's decision on October 28.
CoinWorld data: The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) is expected to rise to 3.7% before the Federal Reserve's decision on October 28. Economists expect annual inflation to be 3.4% in August, affected by rising energy costs. Core inflation (excluding food and energy) is expected to be 2.5%. The CPI report will be released on October 14, only two weeks before the Federal Reserve decides whether to keep interest rates unchanged or tighten monetary policy again. The conflict in the Middle East has disrupted global fuel supplies, and the price of Brent crude oil has remained above $100 per barrel, increasing costs for transportation and households. The August inflation report showed that gasoline prices rose 3.9%. If inflation reaches 3.7% in September, it will mark another acceleration in overall consumer prices, posing a challenge to the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation. In September, the Federal Reserve raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, to a target range of 3.75%-4.00%. The market expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in October, but a CPI report higher than expected could change expectations for future interest rates.
Whether Bitcoin mining has become unprofitable remains to be verified.
Coinpaper reports: As Bitcoin mining costs rise, many miners face the challenge of declining profitability. When mining costs exceed revenue, some miners may shut down their equipment, while others may sell Bitcoin to cover expenses. Bitcoin's built-in network mechanisms can continue to operate even when many participants are facing losses. Mining profitability depends on the Bitcoin market price, electricity costs, hardware efficiency, and network competition. Mining difficulty automatically adjusts after every 2016 blocks, ensuring that the remaining miners' share of revenue increases, potentially restoring profitability. Although Bitcoin mining does not require every participant to be profitable, it does require enough economically motivated miners to continue processing transactions and securing the network.
