JUST IN: Gold moves higher as markets sharply scale back expectations for an October Fed rate hike.
Weaker U.S. jobs data pushed rate hike expectations lower, while precious metals moved higher as investors adjusted to a softer policy outlook.
Gold is once again trading at the center of the macro conversation, where interest rates, inflation expectations and safe-haven demand continue to shape price action.

$STRATO is coming in Q4.
After 10 years of building, STRATO is entering its next phase.
$STRATO will sit at the core of the STRATO economy: the native asset designed to coordinate the HardFi ecosystem and capture the value created across a network built around gold, silver and other real-world assets.
STRATO is building a growing application layer across tokenized assets, borrowing and lending, USDST, yield, trading through STRATO Odds, and so on...
Behind it is a team of Ethereum veterans who have been building since the earliest days of the network, including work on one of Ethereum’s first Haskell clients.
They were there when Ethereum was still an experiment.
A decade later, STRATO is preparing to bring its own native asset to market.
Q4 marks the beginning of the next chapter.
$STRATO, the coordination asset of the HardFi economy

The First Mover Advantage is past halfway. Here’s where the competition stands.
a10092…6fc3 leads both leaderboards with 4,865.89 USDST in overall volume and 1,098.72 USDST traded during the opening windows.
But First Mover is still close at the top. c1ee1e…bede follows with 976.95 USDST, a gap of just 121.77 USDST.
Further down, fourth and fifth place are separated by only 1.16 USDST in early volume.
Two leaderboards. Rewards for the top 10 on each. Every new market brings another 10-minute window to improve your First Mover position.
The competition closes October 7 at 15:00 UTC.

JUST IN: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US meets its conditions.
The continued standoff keeps energy supply and inflation risks elevated, while Iran’s currency has fallen to a new record low and local demand is shifting toward gold and foreign currencies as stores of value.
Gold is once again sitting at the intersection of geopolitical risk, currency instability and reserve demand.

Ethereum staking infrastructure is back in focus.
MetaMask is proactively exiting affected Ethereum validators after disclosing a security incident involving part of its infrastructure. The company says it has identified no immediate threat to MetaMask wallets and that its staking operations remain non-custodial.
Independent onchain analysis estimates that roughly 17,000 validators have entered the exit process, representing more than 500,000 ETH, while around 0.36 ETH in block-production rewards was redirected during the incident. MetaMask has not confirmed those figures.
The incident puts renewed attention on the operational security behind an increasingly important part of Ethereum’s economy.
Now live on STRATO Odds:
Will Ethereum be at or above $2,668.00 by tomorrow at 1:00 CEST?

STRATO and Book of Ethereum are community partners of Devcon 8.
For STRATO, this gathering has a history. In 2015, our founders presented BlockApps STRATO at Devcon 1 in London. Built by Ethereum veterans, STRATO has roots in the earliest days of the ecosystem. Today, that work continues through HardFi, bringing gold, silver and other hard assets into onchain finance.
Eleven years later, we’re heading to Mumbai alongside ＠Bookof_Eth .
BOOE brings Ethereum’s cultural layer into that journey. Preserving its stories, connecting its communities and helping more people find their place in the ecosystem. Technology gives us the infrastructure. Culture and community give people a reason to participate.
＠EFDevcon is where those worlds meet. Hosted by the ＠ethereumfndn , the four-day event brings developers, researchers, founders and community organizers together for talks, workshops and conversations about what Ethereum can become and what we need to build next.
We’re looking forward to meeting longtime contributors, connecting with India’s builders and introducing more people to STRATO and BOOE.
