Before you invest in a crypto project you need to understand their roadmap. It is important for a business to know where they are going and how they are going to get there. If they cannot make those two things clear to the investors, then that presents an even higher risk factor.

Australia will launch a spot ether ETF following the launch of a spot Bitcoin ETF in August. The ETF will allow in-kind and cash redemptions. Monochrome will launch Australia’s first spot ether (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Tuesday. The Monochrome Ethereum ETF (IETH), will debut at 10:00 local time.

As of October 10, Hong Kong’s spot bitcoin and ether ETFs hold net assets of $262.97 million and $35.07 million, respectively. By contrast, U.S.-listed ETFs held bitcoin worth $58.66 billion ether worth $6.74 billion, according to SoSoValue. Several countries have approved listings of spot crypto ETFs after the launch of the funds in the U.S. in January, though all have been significantly smaller in scale than their U.S. counterparts. Last week, South Korea’s news1 also reported that the country’s Financial Services Commission would consider allowing crypto ETFs.

Cosmos (ATOM) faces security risks, according to the web3 builder All in Bits (AiB). The firm identified concerns with the Liquid Staking Module (LSM) that investors interact with to stake ATOM.

Cosmos didn't immediately respond to FXStreet's request for comment. ATOM trades at $4.459 at the time of writing on Wednesday, erasing part of weekly gains.

The crypto market has gained around 8% over the past seven days, stabilising near $2.30 trillion over this week and reaching a capitalisation of $2.32 trillion at the time of writing on Friday. The sentiment index is firmly in greed territory at 73. This is the highest level of optimism since late July and contrasts sharply with fear (32) a week earlier. Bitcoin has gained over 12% in the last week, making two attempts to break through the $68 thousand level. In our view, the bulls in Bitcoin already showed their strength on Monday, as they took the price above the 200-day MA in one fell swoop, breaking through the previous highs and the upper boundary of the multi-month descending channel. The next growth target looks to be the $71-73K area, where strong resistance and historical highs from March are concentrated.

The outcome of a Trump election can significantly shake up the financial markets, particularly in forex, crypto, and stock trading. Here’s how: Forex Market: Trump's policies often emphasize “America First,” which can lead to tariff adjustments, trade renegotiations, and geopolitical tensions that impact the dollar’s strength globally. A Trump-led economy might see the dollar rising against emerging market currencies if there’s a push for stronger domestic policies. Yet, any uncertainties could also lead to volatility, with investors seeking safe havens like the yen or Swiss franc. Cryptocurrency: Trump’s previous stance on cryptocurrencies has been cautious, if not critical. Another term could bring tighter regulations and scrutiny on crypto markets, as his administration might prioritize stability over unregulated digital currencies. However, stricter regulations could fuel interest in decentralized assets like Bitcoin as a hedge against perceived control, potentially driving demand and price volatility. Stock Market: Trump is known for tax cuts and policies aimed at reducing regulations on businesses, which tends to make Wall Street bullish. Investors often respond favorably to his pro-business approach, especially in industries like energy, finance, and defense. However, uncertainty over trade relations, particularly with China, could introduce fluctuations, affecting industries tied to global supply chains.
