Galaxy Research holds that the Bitcoin bear market concluded in June this year, with the current correction offering an attractive entry opportunity for investors. The firm points out that selling pressure from long-term holders is abating, and paired with the ongoing surge in US debt, Bitcoin’s medium- and long-term investment value merits attention. Galaxy recommends investors consider buying and holding Bitcoin at this stage. That said, the available report summary has not yet provided detailed justifications for its specific Bitcoin price targets or its assessment that the bear market has ended.

FASE’s work is structured around four pillars: financial security, financial inclusion and freedom, access to basic resources, and responsible AI and robotics. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the foundation will unite industry players and international organizations to expand existing community aid efforts, helping vulnerable groups gain access to financial protection and basic resources.

S&P Global has announced the completion of its acquisition of on-chain security firm OpenZeppelin. The deal was first unveiled on September 17, 2026, with specific financial terms undisclosed. S&P Global stated that the acquisition will complement its digital asset risk assessment business, helping traditional financial institutions and on-chain finance companies evaluate smart contract and underlying technology risks. Founded in 2015, OpenZeppelin offers smart contract security audits, secure development services, and open-source contract libraries. Its security team has completed over 900 audit projects, uncovering more than 10,000 vulnerabilities before product launches; its open-source smart contract library OpenZeppelin Contracts has supported cumulative value transfers exceeding $38 trillion, covering multiple major stablecoins and tokenized funds. Post-acquisition, OpenZeppelin will operate as an independent business unit, with founder Demian Brener remaining in his role and reporting to Yann Le Pallec, President of S&P Global Ratings. The firm confirmed that OpenZeppelin Contracts will continue to be open-source, free, and publicly maintained. S&P Global believes that as more financial assets and capital market activities shift on-chain, smart contract and underlying technology risk assessment will grow increasingly important. The acquisition aims to combine OpenZeppelin’s on-chain security technology with S&P Global’s institutional client network and global distribution capabilities to expand its digital asset risk assessment services.
