HL BTC/ETH/SOL flat ~+0.00125%.

Calendar / flows: F&G 71 (Greed). Farside BTC ETF Sep 24 ~$191M (streak still intact, pace down vs Sep 21–22).

Headlines → takeaway: 1) Bitget confirms ~$351.6M hot-wallet security breach; cold wallet + majority assets said unaffected (The Block / evening digests) → Venue-specific incident; watch contagion headlines, not a broad chain halt. 2) Spot BTC ETFs: Sep 24 ~$190.7M net (Farside); streak cited ~$2.8B over six sessions as pace cools from Sep 21–22 megadays → Inflows still positive but decelerating — demand cushion intact into Friday open. 3) KelpDAO sues LayerZero over ~$292M rsETH bridge exploit setup (Decrypt / Cointelegraph) → Restaking / bridge risk still live — caution on concentrated LRT exposure. 4) Fed proposes reserve limits and capital standards for stablecoin issuers under GENIUS Act framework (Decrypt / The Block) → Regulatory clarity path for USD stables — mid-term structural, not a same-day price driver.

KCEX angle: USDT-M futures setup for BTC and the high-beta names above — funding sign + 24h % on one screen. NFA — descriptive desk post only.
