BRO-AMM: A Bonded Reconciliation Oracle AMM as a Low-Risk DeFi Primitive
Originally posted at https://peersky.xyz/blog/fixing-liquidity-provision/ I just put out a preprint, BRO-AMM: A Bonded Reconciliation Oracle AMM as a Low-Risk DeFi Primitive. It’s an early version and the work is far from finished. Here I want to explain, without the math, the problem behind it and why I think it’s solvable. DeFi’s promise was banking infrastructure on chain. Anyone could be the bank: deposit money into a pool, let others trade against it, and earn fees, the way a bank earns a spread. No permission, no middleman, just open financial plumbing that anyone can own a piece of.

Thailand finalizes rules paving way for Bitcoin, Ether ETFs
Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission has finalized rules for Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, set to launch on October 16, 2026. This is a significant step, allowing these crypto ETFs to trade exclusively on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Initially, only local assets are permitted, meaning foreign crypto ETFs won't be available for retail investors just yet.
This move mirrors trends we've seen in the U.S., where the introduction of Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs opened up access for various investors. Thai brokers are still restricted from facilitating overseas crypto ETF investments for retail clients, which keeps the focus on local offerings for now.
The SEC has also adjusted regulations to allow mutual and private funds to invest in these Thai ETFs, expanding the options for institutional players. However, brokers can't offer margin loans for ETF purchases, and funds must be managed passively to track the underlying crypto asset closely. It's a cautious but promising step for Thai investors looking to dip their toes into the crypto market.

Fidelity’s reported $197M Bitcoin sale has no confirmation behind it
So, there’s a buzz about Fidelity supposedly selling $197 million worth of Bitcoin, but here’s the kicker — there’s no solid confirmation backing that up. It’s a classic case of blockchain data misinterpretation, which can easily stir up rumors in the market.
The chatter around this sale has sparked some speculation, but without verified info, it’s just that — speculation. It’s a reminder to stay grounded and not get swept up in the noise. Always good to keep a level head and focus on what’s actually happening rather than what’s being said.

More markets are expected to follow depending on local regulatory requirements. Solana will run behind the scenes. Users will not need to manage a separate crypto tool to make the transfers.
XRPL’s $1.34 billion stablecoin base doesn’t tell us how much XRP users need
Tracked stablecoins on the XRP Ledger totaled $1.338 billion on Oct. 7. For XRP holders, the critical question is how much activity uses the token as principal, and how long users or intermediaries need to hold it. Fees and account reserves require XRP, the ledger's native token. Stablecoins, tokenized funds and securities records can keep their principal in other assets. Bridge routes and XRP-funded liquidity pools create a separate reason to hold XRP: inventory available to fill trades or payments.
AI may be keeping Bitcoin’s biggest macro headwind alive after the Fed stops hiking
Bitcoin faces a new macro headwind from the artificial-intelligence boom as massive infrastructure spending competes for long-term capital. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Sept. 15-16 meeting showed market participants citing heavy private debt issuance for AI infrastructure as one factor pushing Treasury yields and term premiums higher. Nominal yields rose about 35 basis points across maturities from two to 10 years between Fed meetings. That complicates things for crypto investors focused primarily on when the Fed stops tightening.
