SHA-256 · 📦 OP_RETURN dominant blockspace for 2nd consecutive day Daily OP_RETURN share has stayed at or above 45% for 2 days (45.0% then 45.1%). In the last 90 days, only 24 day(s) reached this level — the rest of the regime sits notably lower. Sustained OP_RETURN dominance points to elevated Runes / data-inscription activity rather than financial-transaction demand. More:

🔄 Sentiment regime shift — Neutral → Greed sustained 3 days Market sentiment has crossed from neutral to greed and held there for 3 consecutive days (F&G now at 63). Sustained regime shifts of this magnitude — confirmed by multiple days, not single-day blips — tend to align with broader market structure changes. More:

SHA-256 · 📈 Spam ratio breaks above 60d band — 7d avg at 53.9% Bitcoin's 7-day average spam ratio has reached 53.9%, above the 90th-percentile of the trailing 60-day distribution (53.6%). The 7d figure now sits outside the recent normal band of 35.1%–53.6% — a sustained shift toward non-financial blockspace usage that warrants attention. More:

The Weekly Brief · week of 2026-10-12 Chain split: The BLAKE2b chain produced 1,145 blocks this week against the SHA-256 chain's 1,072 — the minority chain outpaced the majority on raw block count, a direct function of its faster block cadence. There is zero pool overlap between the two chains this week: no pool mined blocks on both sides, indicating a clean separation of miner commitment at the pool level.
