The expansion is designed to bring fiat and digital asset operations into the same platform rather than requiring institutions to use separate providers for banking, custody, trading and settlement.
Clients can access institutional USD accounts, named virtual accounts with unique routing details, SWIFT transfers and Anchorage Digital’s Atlas settlement network alongside the firm’s digital asset custody and trading services.
“Global businesses should not have to choose between the speed of digital assets and the reliability of traditional banking rails,” Anchorage Digital CEO and co-founder Nathan McCauley said.
The company said the service is aimed at global trading firms, crypto exchanges, protocols, neobanks, banks, asset managers, family offices and corporates operating across multiple markets.
The move also expands Anchorage Digital’s presence in Asia Pacific, where the company said institutional demand for digital asset infrastructure continues to grow.
Standard Chartered Global Head of Fintech Luke Boland said the partnership combines the bank’s payments and risk infrastructure with Anchorage Digital’s regulated platform to make it easier for institutional firms to manage fiat and digital assets across borders.
Anchorage Digital said the broader goal is to consolidate payments, custody, trading and settlement into a single institutional platform as traditional banking rails and blockchain infrastructure increasingly converge.
For Democrats, the higher support level is going to Steven Horsford, a Nevada lawmaker who helped get a bipartisan crypto tax bill through the House tax committee he serves on, and Derek Tran of California, Fairshake said. Both of them have an “A” rating on digital assets issues from Stand With Crypto, as does the third recipient, Janelle Bynum.
Bynum is an Oregon Democrat incumbent who had beaten Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer for her seat two years ago. Chavez-DeRemer, who was backed by Fairshake in the prior election, went on to run President Donald Trump’s Department of Labor, though she resigned earlier this year under multiple misconduct allegations. Bynum voted for crypto bills during her first term and appeared at the Digital Chamber’s DC Blockchain Summit earlier this year.
The 32 House incumbents on Fairshake’s latest list are well targeted for the industry’s next legislative maneuvers, with many of them on the House Ways and Means Committee that will deal with crypto tax issues, and many others on the key House Financial Services Committee. Agriculture, science and judiciary panels — each promising to be important for future crypto bills — also are represented by the candidates.
Vetter said his organization has so far backed 53 winners out of 57 races in the primaries and is working toward “the largest pro-crypto caucus in American history.” In many of those primaries, Fairshake favored a candidate from the party that’s likely to win the general election — a strategy it succeeded with in the prior election.
The program also discussed Bitcoin’s price behavior in recent weeks. While a rise in the dollar index normally puts pressure on risky assets, it was noted that despite the US dollar reaching an 18-month high, Bitcoin has maintained its upward trend over the past five or six weeks. The fact that Bitcoin remained above its 50-week moving average while gold fell below it reinforced the view that the cryptocurrency has recently been behaving differently than a classic risk asset.

Howell also believes that a rally in the bond market could be a significant catalyst for Bitcoin. Noting that US Treasury bonds are one of the fundamental collaterals in the global financial system, the strategist stated that if bond prices rise and bond volatility decreases, the collateral multiplier will strengthen, injecting more liquidity into the financial system. According to Howell, in such a scenario, Bitcoin could also be expected to rise.
Dave Weisberger similarly stated that Bitcoin reacts to perceived monetary expansion and liquidity inflows with an extremely high beta. Weisberger argued that a strong bond rally could emerge if economic growth slows, bringing with it expectations of further monetary expansion. He said it would be difficult for him to expect Bitcoin not to benefit from such a global bond rally.
Mike McGlone, however, painted a more cautious picture. Arguing that risky assets, including Bitcoin and gold, are still significantly tied to the US stock market, McGlone stated that taking positions against the Fed at current levels carries serious risk. Suggesting that Bitcoin has shown similar performance with much higher volatility in the long term compared to the Nasdaq, McGlone believes that the true resilience of cryptocurrency will only be tested if a significant correction occurs in the S&P 500.
Cardano clears $0.26 as daily money flow stays positive
TradingView’s daily chart showed $ADA trading above its 20-day simple moving average at $0.2417, its 50-day average at $0.2211, its 100-day average at $0.1971 and its 200-day average at $0.2132.
The 20-day average was above the other three readings, while the 50-day average also stood above the 200-day average. The 100-day average remained below the 200-day line, leaving the longer-term averages in a different order from the shorter-term pair.
At $0.2686, $ADA traded about 11% above its 20-day average and 26% above its 200-day average. The daily price structure showed a sharp September advance followed by trading around $0.24–$0.26 before the latest push higher.
The same chart recorded Chaikin Money Flow at 0.18. A reading above zero indicates positive buying pressure under the indicator’s volume-based calculation, adding a positive money-flow signal to the move above the recent range.
The daily chart’s next visible historical price area sits around $0.28–$0.29, where $ADA traded during earlier rallies in February, March, and May. The latest high of $0.2768 remained below that area.
Below the breakout, the daily chart placed the nearest tracked moving average at $0.2417. The 50-day and 200-day averages formed a lower reference area around $0.213–$0.221, with the 100-day average farther below at $0.1971.
Analysts put $0.27 and $0.2887 at the center of the setup
Analyst Alex Marzell described $ADA’s breakout from a range between $0.242 and $0.247. He said one hourly candle had gained 6% on roughly 20 times the range’s normal volume.
In his Oct. 5 post, Marzell identified $0.275 as resistance after three rejections and made $0.27 the dividing line for his short-term outlook.
“As long as $0.27 holds I think $0.275 gets taken out and $0.28 opens up.”
The analyst put $0.264 as the retest level if $ADA lost $0.27. TradingView’s later 4-hour reading of $0.2688 placed the token below his stated threshold after its move to $0.2768.
Crypto Patel focused on the two-week chart and identified $0.2887 as his bullish confirmation level. His Oct. 5 post said $ADA was about 98% above his accumulation zone.
$ADA COULD BE ENTERING ITS NEXT MACRO EXPANSION!#$ADA is showing a major long-term accumulation and breakout structure on the 2W chart.
$ADA/$USDT is now ~98% UP from our accumulation zone, yet my macro thesis remains unchanged.
Patel’s longer-term scenario required a sustained higher-timeframe close above $0.2887. He listed targets of $0.50, $1, $2, $3 and $5, making those projections conditional on confirmation above his trigger.
His threshold was about 7.4% above the $0.2688 TradingView reading. Marzell’s nearer $0.28 target was about 4.2% above the same price, placing the two analysts’ confirmation levels on different timeframes.
Liquidation bands gather below $0.27
CoinGlass’s 24-hour $ADA liquidation heatmap showed price rising from approximately $0.247 to above $0.275 before pulling back toward $0.268.

A bright liquidation band sat near $0.266, immediately below the latest price. Another strong band appeared around $0.257, with additional concentrations around $0.259–$0.263.
Above price, the heatmap showed bands around $0.275–$0.277 and $0.279–$0.281. The upper cluster overlapped with the $0.28 level in Marzell’s outlook.
TradingView’s 4-hour Supertrend remained green at $0.2498, below $ADA’s market price. The same chart recorded the Average Directional Index at 24.16, rising from its recent lows toward the commonly watched 25 level for trend strength.
The latest 4-hour price bar showed a retreat of 1.29%, even as price remained above the Supertrend line. The bullish indicator setting therefore accompanied a pullback from the session high.
U.S. funds already include $ADA in their investment universe
Hashdex’s current NCIQ product page listed Cardano at a 0.6% portfolio composition weight as of Oct. 5. The Nasdaq-listed product provides market-cap-weighted exposure to a basket of crypto assets.
Hashdex announced $ADA’s inclusion effective Oct. 1, 2025, alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Stellar and XRP, with holdings subject to quarterly rebalancing.
T. Rowe Price’s Active Crypto ETF also listed $ADA among its eligible assets in a July 14, 2026 filing. The document identified the fund’s ticker as TKNZ and its exchange as NYSE Arca.
For the immediate price setup, Marzell’s $0.27 threshold sits above $ADA’s latest chart reading, while his $0.264 retest level falls below it. Patel’s broader bullish scenario remains tied to a sustained close above $0.2887.
Sunrise announced $SHIB’s availability on Solana on Oct. 4, with the official Shiba Inu and Solana accounts also confirming the launch, according to Solana Compass. The analytics platform reported that the token became tradable through services including Raydium, Jupiter, and Phantom.
Solana Compass recorded 3,005 trades worth approximately $300,000 across 1,401 wallets during a five-minute window shortly after the announcement. Its early figures also showed about $514,000 in pool liquidity.
The launch gives $SHIB another venue for trading as its daily chart tests resistance. Nevertheless, the price recovery visible on TradingView began before the Oct. 4 announcement, with the token already climbing from its summer base through August and September.
For U.S. holders following the October setup, the technical reference here is Binance’s $SHIB/$USDT market. Its quoted levels reflect that trading pair, while execution prices on other exchanges or Solana trading venues may differ.
Shiba Inu holds above four daily moving averages
The daily TradingView chart shows the 20-day simple moving average at $0.00000571 and the 50-day average at $0.00000541. The 100-day average stands at $0.00000494, while the 200-day average sits at $0.00000530.
At $0.00000587, $SHIB trades approximately 2.8% above its 20-day average. The relatively small gap makes $0.00000571 the first moving-average level to watch if the token retreats from resistance.
Below that level, the 50-day and 200-day averages form a second reference zone between $0.00000530 and $0.00000541. A pullback into that area would surrender more of the recent advance and place price back among its longer-term trend measures.
The averages have not yet formed a fully bullish sequence. Although the 20-day average sits above the other three, the 100-day average remains below the 200-day average, reflecting the earlier decline.
Daily Chaikin Money Flow reads 0.16. Its positive reading supports the improving daily setup, although a sustained advance would still require price to clear the nearby highs.
The daily chart also contains a broad curved annotation running from the July 2025 peak, through the 2026 base, toward a horizontal level at $0.00001607. That level is roughly 174% above the latest price and belongs to a much larger potential recovery structure.
For October, the nearer $0.00000600–$0.00000630 area takes priority. $SHIB would need to overcome those levels before the distant upper boundary becomes relevant to the immediate outlook.
Weekly resistance at $0.00000596 remains the first hurdle
The weekly TradingView chart places $SHIB just below a Murrey Math resistance level at $0.00000596. The latest price is approximately 1.5% beneath that threshold, which closely overlaps the daily resistance area around $0.00000600.
Weekly RSI stands at 52.26, above the neutral 50 line and its displayed average of 44.80. The reading marks firmer momentum than during the earlier decline, while remaining below the conventional overbought threshold of 70.
Price and momentum therefore present slightly different stages of recovery: RSI has moved above its midpoint, while $SHIB continues to test its first nearby weekly resistance.
A sustained move above $0.00000596–$0.00000600 would strengthen the near-term bullish case. Repeated rejection there would leave the token trading close to the same ceiling despite its improving indicators.
On X, market commentator Terrarmy described a potential daily ascending triangle and rising support on the 4-hour timeframe. The account also pointed to a possible test of longer-term descending resistance.

— Terrarmy 🐋 (@terra_army) October 4, 2026
Terrarmy tied the bullish scenario to breakouts backed by strong volume and acknowledged the possibility of failed breakouts or support losses. The October outlook therefore remains conditional on $SHIB clearing resistance while preserving its recent higher lows.
October targets cluster around $0.00000610–$0.00000630
CoinGlass’s one-month liquidation heatmap shows overhead concentrations around $0.00000610 and $0.00000630. Both sit above the immediate $0.00000596–$0.00000600 resistance zone.

If $SHIB clears that first barrier and holds above it, $0.00000610 becomes the next nearby upside reference. The higher $0.00000630 area also lies close to the September peak visible on the heatmap.
From $0.00000587, moves to $0.00000610 and $0.00000630 would represent gains of approximately 3.9% and 7.3%, respectively. Reaching the upper zone would require $SHIB to push beyond several recent highs.
Below current prices, the heatmap shows liquidation concentrations around $0.00000545–$0.00000550 and another band near $0.00000530. Those areas broadly overlap the support region identified by the daily moving averages.
The short-term bullish scenario holds while $SHIB preserves its daily support and breaks through $0.00000600. A loss of $0.00000571 would put the lower $0.00000545–$0.00000550 area in focus, followed by $0.00000530–$0.00000541.
October’s immediate test is whether $SHIB can turn the $0.00000596–$0.00000600 ceiling into support. Until that happens, the charts show an improving recovery, with resistance still close overhead.

You may be having second thoughts about eating the berries in your fridge after CBC News spoke with a whistleblower who made a startling claim about the amount of chemicals on fruit that a U.S. company allegedly shipped to Canada.
David Harada, a former employee for California-based Driscoll’s, alleged in a lawsuit that about half of the company’s exports to Canada contained pesticide levels that exceeded Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) standards.
Driscoll’s supplies raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries that are largely grown in California and Mexico, but with some products coming from other places seasonally — including parts of Canada.
Harada says the excess chemical levels were due to over-spraying and the removal of food safety compliance parameters for berries sent to Canada.
The CFIA confirmed higher-than-permissible levels of pesticides on the company’s berries. Driscoll’s has said that it’s amended its controls to comply with Canadian standards.
But that may not be enough to put some Canadian consumers’ minds at ease, especially parents. Meanwhile, food safety experts say this has prompted an important conversation about the chemicals used on the produce we eat.
Here’s a quick look at what you need to know.
Are the berries in my fridge safe to eat?
Harada’s lawsuit alleges that millions of pounds of berries with chemical levels exceeding CFIA guidelines were imported between 2022 and 2024, so it’s highly unlikely those would have survived in your fridge since then — and you certainly shouldn’t eat them if they are still in there.
Maria Corradini, an associate professor in the University of Guelph’s food sciences department, says the chemical compounds sprayed on produce do degrade over time.
But the issue, she says, is ensuring that the right amount is applied and that enough time has passed so that there isn’t leftover residue come harvest time.
WATCH | Driscoll’s berries shipped to Canada with excess chemicals, lawsuit alleges:
Driscoll’s sent berries with excess chemicals to Canada: whistleblower
A whistleblower lawsuit in California alleges millions of trays of fruit containing non-compliant levels of pesticides and chemicals crossed the border between 2022 and 2024. The suit also accuses Driscoll’s fruit company of trying to cover it up.
Environmental toxicologist Daniel Green says that even if you actually consumed berries with higher than permissible levels of chemical residue, it probably wouldn’t be enough to harm you.
You would likely need to eat something like 19 kilograms of berries in a short period of time to really feel any adverse effects.
“This issue isn’t one serving of berries,” he told CBC Montreal’s Gloria Henríquez, explaining that it’s like “one speck” of the chemicals to which people are exposed in their daily lives.
What chemicals were found on the berries?
The three chemicals found were bifenthrin, iprodione and captan.
Iprodione is used to prevent and control mould, mildew and stem and root rot on a variety of crops. Captan is also a fungicide that is used on field, greenhouse and orchard crops.

Bifenthrin is considered to be of low toxicity to humans, though large quantities can induce adverse effects, including headaches, dizziness or skin or nasal irritations when inhaled, or a sore throat, nausea and vomiting if ingested.
However, Corradini says that workers on berry farms would be more likely to face any sort of health risks from acute exposure.
Can I wash these chemicals off berries?
It may not do much, Corradini says, especially when it comes to berries, because of how soft they are and all of the tiny crevices in their skin.
She says there have been some studies showing that soaking them for a few minutes in a mixture of water and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) may help, but that there’s not enough evidence to conclusively say it’s effective.
Are organic berries better?
Buying organic is your best bet in avoiding these chemicals, but it’s not foolproof, Corradini says.
“If you are in a facility that is having half of the production organic and half not, well, there is always a risk that there is a mistake,” she said.

She also pointed out that chemical pesticides are why fruits and vegetables can be grown so plentifully and at a relatively affordable cost.
Organic crops, she says, may also be more prone to infestations. And like non-organic produce, organic foods are not immune to pathogens and parasites that can cause food-borne illnesses such as E. coli and norovirus.
WATCH | The parasite that caused a nationwide outbreak in the U.S.:
What is cyclospora? A diarrhea-causing parasite
A diarrhea-causing parasite has led to a growing outbreak in the United States that has sickened more than 1,000 people and sent dozens to hospital. As of Wednesday, multiple states had reported cyclospora infections, which can cause watery diarrhea, bloating, fever and nausea. While cases are common in the spring and summer, the current outbreak has led to an unusually high number, making it one of the largest the country has seen. No deaths have been reported.
Is Driscoll’s facing any sort of investigation?
Driscoll’s says that it “never knowingly shipped product that we believed to be unsafe.”
Harada’s lawsuit is still in progress and the company wouldn’t comment on it other than to deny his allegations.
Driscoll’s is also facing a separate class-action lawsuit filed earlier this year by six plaintiffs living in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois.
SFGate reported that the suit accuses the company of consumer fraud and deceptive practices by allegedly “greenwashing” the amount of so-called forever chemicals, known as PFAS, on its strawberries.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday it has found a potential source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak that was tied to lettuce over the summer.
The agency collected samples during its onsite inspections of Taylor Farms de Mexico facilities, it said.
Two samples tested positive for the parasite, Cyclospora, according to the FDA. One positive sample was from a tank that held outgoing wastewater from a processing facility, the agency said. The second positive sample was from a drainage ditch of an iceberg lettuce grower, it noted.
“While there is currently not enough evidence to conclusively determine how contamination occurred in this outbreak, the positive samples show that Cyclospora was present in the environment where lettuce was grown and processed,” the FDA wrote in an update on its website.
“This adds to the strong epidemiological data and traceback convergence supporting the link between this outbreak and recalled shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico,” the update continued.
The FDA said its investigation has closed. Health officials say they are confident that all recalled lettuce associated with this outbreak is off the market.
In a statement, a Taylor Fresh Foods spokesperson said its facility in central Mexico remains closed as the company works with its research team to implement enhanced safety protocols.
“The independent grower where a positive sample was found is no longer part of our supplier program,” the spokesperson said. “The sample FDA referenced came from discharged waste and sewer water outside of our processing facility. As FDA noted in its report, there is currently not enough evidence to conclusively determine how contamination occurred or how results for these samples relate to ongoing genotyping of clinical specimens.”
The statement concluded: “We remain concerned for the people and families impacted by this outbreak. Millions of families rely on the safety of Taylor Farms produce and we take that responsibility seriously. We know trust is earned by what we do, and we will continue to learn, improve and take action to keep our food fresh and safe.”

At least 12,883 people were infected with cyclosporiasis across 21 states after eating the recalled lettuce, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Thousands more cases were reported but health officials noted difficulties in tying infections to the recalled foods.
A total of 570 people were hospitalized and two people in Michigan died.
In mid-July, the FDA and the CDC announced they were investigating a multi-state outbreak of cyclosporiasisillnesses linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at some Taco Bell restaurants.
The lettuce was supplied to Taco Bell by Taylor Farms and sourced from central Mexico.
Taylor Farms de Mexico issued a voluntary recall of all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico, with the recall affecting 27 states. The recalled products were distributed from June 29 through July 16 and have best-if-used-by dates up to Aug. 3.
An English tourist has gone viral for complaining about the concessions… at a Holocaust concentration camp.
TikTok user Lyn Pearman, 70, of Kent, U.K., posted a TikTok video in which she angrily complains about paying 9 British pounds, or nearly $12, for two small beverages outside the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland.
“Just a little bottle,” Pearman says holding up an empty bottle. “Very expensive.”
She also groused that her strawberry smoothie was watered down and her daughter’s lemonade smelled like a cleaning agent. The video was seen at least 4 million times before the TikTok account was made private.
The retired woman told Kent Online that prices are simply too high around the death camp where more than a million people lost their lives to Nazi genocide.
“If you pay for food or drinks anywhere you expect what you pay for,” Pearman explained. “Just because its a concentration camp doesn’t make any difference.”
Many social media users suggested Pearman may have missed the point of the somber experience of visiting a living memorial where one of history’s greatest atrocities occurred.
The Auschwitz Museum has on occasion had to remind visitors where they are and what happened on that hallowed ground.
in 2019, visitors were asked not to treat the tracks leading into the concentration camp as balance beams while taking selfies. Other complained in 2023 that an ice cream stand set up outside the camp’s perimeter sent the wrong message.
The abrupt redeployment to the US comes after several ‘terrorism-related’ arrests were made outside RAF Fairford.
The United States has made the abrupt decision to withdraw its bombers from the Royal Air Force (RAF) base Fairford in the western part of the United Kingdom, citing concerns about a potential attack.
Media reports emerged on Sunday that an urgent redeployment was under way, with B-1 bombers leaving RAF Fairford for the US.

Roughly a dozen such aircraft had been based at RAF Fairford prior to the sudden departure.
“While operational security precluded us from confirming the movement of our assets and forces in real-time, we can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have re-deployed to their home stations in the United States,” a Pentagon spokesperson told Al Jazeera.
“The Airmen that operate America’s bomber force, including B-1s, B-2s, and B-52s, remain ready to deliver precision global strike capabilities – including through operations that launch and recover from the continental United States – anywhere, anytime,” the official added.
It is unclear precisely what prompted the withdrawal, which comes as the US and Israel remain embroiled in a war against Iran.
RAF Fairford has served as a stopping point for US bombers participating in the war, which began more than seven months ago, on February 28.
But the base, located roughly 160km (100 miles) west of London, has been rumoured to be the target of a “terror” plot involving Iran.
On September 27, UK authorities arrested five men on suspicion of plotting to plant explosives near the base.
Iran has denied any such scheme, and the men were released without charge a day later. Investigators discovered petrol, but no explosive devices, in their vans. Still, officials in the UK say they remain under investigation.
On Thursday, British police also announced they had arrested a 25-year-old UK-Iranian dual national in London on suspicion of plotting an attack against the airbase.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham suggested last week that “Iran played a part” in the alleged plot, though he declined to provide details.
“The investigation into circumstances surrounding events in Gloucestershire is hugely complex, and our specialist teams are interrogating multiple lines of enquiry,” Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing Vicki Evans said in a statement.
“As we’ve made clear, we’re looking at all possible angles – including possible foreign state involvement.”
US President Donald Trump responded to the initial arrests by accusing the men of seeking to do “big damage” to US facilities. He also praised UK authorities for their efforts.
“The arrest in the UK was fantastic. Working with Britain – it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation,” Trump said of the suspects. “We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.”
Iran, meanwhile, summoned the UK ambassador to Tehran over the last week in protest of the arrests.
The US has a long history of stationing forces at RAF Fairford during its wars in the Middle East, stretching back to the Gulf War in the 1990s.
RAF Fairford has been the site of antiwar protests in the past. During one instance, in 2003, five protesters broke into the airbase in an attempt to destroy military equipment slated to be used in the US invasion of Iraq.
The UK has largely declined to participate in the ongoing war on Iran, despite pressure from the Trump administration.
Still, while the UK government was initially hesitant to let the US use its bases for the war, it granted the US “defensive” access to bases, including Fairford and RAF Diego Garcia, in March.
