Column Article Popularity Ranking TOP 10

PANews has produced related posters for the top five popular articles this month to commend these in-depth, high-quality contents.

No.1 Biteye

• Biteye is a blockchain research institution and community focused on L1/L2, DeFi, NFT, and Web3 developments, continuously sharing industry research and on-chain practices.
• 《Agentic Wallet Advanced Guide: From Automated Trading to On-Chain Transactions, Step-by-Step Build Your AI Trading System》When AI Agents start to operate on-chain wallets directly, the trading methods are also changing. This article takes the Binance Agentic Wallet as an example, sharing how to build a new coin trading panel, automate Mint radar, and create NFT market boards with Codex, allowing AI to move from executing trading instructions to actively discovering on-chain opportunities. It includes practical prompts and community tool cases, while also warning about the financial security risks behind automated trading.

No.2 Zero Time Technology

• Zero Time Technology is a professional provider of blockchain security solutions, focusing on blockchain infrastructure security, security audits, asset security, and Web3 security offense and defense research.
• 《Your Hardware Wallet May Have Been Exposed Before You Even Unbox It》Hardware wallets have passed authenticity checks, yet assets are still stolen? A Ledger security incident involving nearly $100 million reveals the often-overlooked supply chain risks in crypto asset security. Attackers do not need to crack private keys; simply implanting malicious hardware after the device leaves the factory can steal mnemonic phrases. This article dissects the attack principles, the flow of stolen funds, and device inspection methods, reminding users that the security of hardware wallets depends not only on chips and code but also on how they come into your hands.

No.3 ArkStream Capital

• ArkStream Capital is a growth-driven crypto-native fund focused on the development of Web3 projects, continuously sharing insights into crypto market and industry trends.
• 《ArkStream Capital: When Binance Becomes "Stock Safe," Crypto is Experiencing an Unprecedented Transformation》In the third quarter, Binance added 134 trading pairs, 123 of which are related to traditional financial assets, with only 11 being purely crypto-native trading pairs. The growth logic of the crypto market is changing. ArkStream Capital discovered through macro trends, trading data, and on-chain ecological reviews that Bitcoin's rise did not lead to a comprehensive alt season; assets such as stocks and RWA perpetual contracts have become the main volume increment, with tokens having protocol revenues and buyback mechanisms performing more prominently. As traditional finance accelerates its integration with crypto, the standards for evaluating industry value are also being readjusted.

No.4 168X

• 168X is a dialogue platform connecting the East and West, facilitating deep exchanges in areas such as blockchain, AI, and biotechnology, exploring how technology reshapes the future.
• 《Robinhood Chain is Booming! After $AI, $PONS, Will the Next Round of Wealth Effect Occur in RWA DeFi?》The Robinhood Chain ecosystem is rapidly heating up, with tokens like $AI and $PONS gaining attention; where will the next opportunity lie? This article has a conversation with senior on-chain researcher Alu, analyzing the value logic and potential risks of popular projects like $SHROOM and $HOOKR from the differing mechanisms of the LONG and PONS issuance platforms. Alu believes that, compared to short-term meme speculation, what’s more worth noticing is the deep integration of stock assets with DeFi, including new plays like lending, collateral, and options. The article also shares practical thoughts on filtering on-chain projects at the beginning of a bull market.

No.5 Tiger Research

• Tiger Research is a research company focusing on the Asian Web3 market, conducting research on topics such as the crypto industry, market structure, and the tokenization of real assets.
• 《From Korea to Hong Kong, Reaching Global: How Hong Kong's RWA is Implemented?》The RWA market size has grown from about $1.5 billion in 2023 to nearly $38.9 billion in September 2026, but once assets are on-chain, how to truly complete issuance, sales, and redemption? Tiger Research takes the model of Korean assets reaching global investors via Hong Kong as an example, breaking down key steps such as offshore SPV, licensed intermediaries in Hong Kong, and stablecoin settlements. It analyzes cross-border capital flow, cash flow redemption, and compliance risks, focusing on the core issues of moving RWA from concepts to actual commercial operations: how to sell products, how to collect returns, and whether this model can be continuously replicated.

No.6 Bankless

• Bankless focuses on cryptocurrency, technological innovation, and financial frontiers, helping readers learn foundational knowledge, improve skills, and discover industry opportunities through its content.
• 《CryptoPunks Transaction Volume Surged Nearly 12 Times in a Week: Rare Models Sold for Millions, Yet Market Does Not Depend on ETH》The transaction volume of CryptoPunks without packaging totaled around $8.2 million in one week, reaching 11.7 times that of the previous week, with two rare models completing million-dollar transactions subsequently in USDC. Bankless points out that this current upturn has not been accompanied by a strong increase in ETH; stablecoin settlements, NFT collateralized lending, and new matching and distribution tools are changing the trading structure. The article further explores the impact of these mechanisms on floor supply and market fluctuations, and whether trading heat can be sustained and transmitted to a broader NFT market.

No.7 Conflux

• Conflux (Tree Graph Blockchain) is a high-performance Layer 1 public chain project dedicated to providing blockchain infrastructure.
• 《The “GENIUS Act” Leaves Reservations; Banks Claim Loans Could Shrink by $850 Billion》Conflux interprets the final rules of the OCC implementing the "GENIUS Act": the ban on interest payments by stablecoin issuers remains, and the presumption of illegal third-party revenue arrangements has been deleted, changing to case-by-case reviews. The article outlines the discrepancies between the crypto and banking industries, noting that "loans shrinking by $850 billion" is a scenario forecast by banking groups and not a realized loss. Tokenized deposits can still earn interest, and competition between banks and stablecoin platforms will revolve around compliant rewards, capital flows, and use cases.

No.8 Cryptoslate

• Cryptoslate is a crypto media outlet focused on Bitcoin, macroeconomics, DeFi, and artificial intelligence, providing industry news, insights, and data.
• 《First Steal All Savings, Then Come Back for the "Final Blow"! Unveiling the Chain Scam in the Cryptocurrency Circle》A group of scammers first defrauded funds through Russian-language ads and fake investment platforms, and weeks later impersonated asset recovery organizations to scam victims a second time by exploiting their desperation to recover losses. The article reveals how such chain scams operate and outlines the enforcement action by the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, in conjunction with the FBI, to shut down 112 servers and 241 involved websites. The estimated amount at stake reaches tens of millions of dollars, with only about $300,000 currently seized, highlighting the gap between destroying scam infrastructures and recovering assets.

No.9 Decentralised.co

• Decentralised.co is a research and media platform focused on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain, providing in-depth insights through long-form analyses and podcasts.
• 《With Perpetual Contracts so Mature, Why Does the Crypto Market Still Need Options?》Direction may be right, but a leveraged position could be liquidated before market fulfillment. Decentralised.co believes that buying options allows traders to exchange premiums for waiting time, addressing needs that perpetual contracts cannot cover. The article analyzes the development paths of platforms like Hyperliquid, Derive, and Paradex from the perspective of hedging costs for sellers and margin efficiency, indicating that on-chain options are likely to grow based on perpetual infrastructures, but the sustainability of seller supply, real liquidity, and incentives post-decline remain to be validated.

No.10 Pantera Capital

• Pantera Capital is a global institutional asset management company based in the United States, focused on risk investment and hedge fund management in blockchain, digital currencies, and the Web3 ecosystem.
• 《Pantera Capital: The RWA Track is Mature, but Liquidity is Becoming the Biggest "Stumbling Block"》The total scale of tokenized assets reported by Pantera Capital has reached $331.8 billion, including stablecoins, but market expansion and on-chain liquidity are not synchronized. In the liquidity sample, open-access products contribute 99.8% of the spot trading volume, while permissioned products rely more on issuer redemption. The article compares the different demands of stocks, government bonds, and private credit, analyzing the roles of perpetual contracts and RWA collateralized lending, emphasizing the need to evaluate effectiveness based on product use, and stating that the next phase should focus on improving compliance in the secondary market, clearing, and interoperability infrastructure.
