Illinois officials have joined crypto groups in asking to move the start of the state's 0.2% digital asset tax from Jan. 1 to July 1, 2027. Court approval remains unconfirmed. The tax applies to the value of digital assets in covered transactions, not trading profits. The state continues to defend the law as the constitutional challenge proceeds.

Topic
Crypto & trading — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 9 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 65% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 86 of 223 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 5 October 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.
Reaction mix
158 reactions across 134 posts, in 4 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 95.6% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 151 | 95.6% | |
| ❤ | 4 | 2.53% | |
| 🔥 | 2 | 1.27% | |
| 😁 | 1 | 0.633% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 137 of the 412 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 158 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 412 most recent posts we hold, published 5 August 2026 to 5 October 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

The IMF unlocked about $138 million for El Salvador after granting waivers for missed criteria tied to Bitcoin accumulation. Its roughly $666 million reserve remains, while restrictions on further state-funded purchases continue. Documented donations can increase holdings without government buying. Future reviews still depend on reserve transparency and completing the withdrawal of public-sector exposure to Chivo.
Coin Metrics rebuilt Ethereum’s historical Standard Flow Metrics using its latest wallet information. A chart downloaded today can therefore describe past flows using discoveries made after those transfers occurred. Trading backtests need the information available at each decision time, including when the data could be retrieved. The notice supplies no revision amounts or ETH strategy comparison, so an effect on tra…
The SEC approved Cboe BZX’s listing rules for 3x Bitcoin and Ether futures products on Oct. 2. Registration effectiveness and a first trading date remain unconfirmed, so the order alone does not mean investors can buy them. The funds target three times daily futures-benchmark returns before fees. Daily rebalancing and compounding can make longer-term results differ in magnitude or even direction.

Reserve income supplied 95.2% of Circle’s Q2 revenue, showing how closely an issuer’s business depends on what its backing earns. Higher overnight rates can lift those returns while increasing interest bills for Bitcoin borrowers. The impact depends on the contracts. Floating-rate debt can reset sooner, while existing fixed-rate borrowing does not automatically become more expensive. A move in the 10-year Treasury y…

From Nov. 1, Binance users in Brazil must provide the purpose and counterparty type for cross-border crypto transfers. Withdrawals cannot be submitted without the questionnaire; incoming deposits may remain pending or be returned. Transfers between Brazilian residents are unaffected. Self-hosted wallets follow a separate process requiring confirmation of ownership. Binance will report international transfers monthly…

Stablecoins can leave total bank deposits unchanged while making that money less dependable for lenders. Household balances can return as large issuer accounts whose withdrawals and funding terms work differently. Banks may need more liquid assets or costlier replacement funding, and some of that expense could reach borrowers. The outcome depends on where reserves go and how banks adapt; these accounting examples do…
Community bankers sued the OCC on October 2, asking a judge to overturn its national trust-bank rule and Interpretive Letter 1176. ICBA says the agency has approved or conditionally approved 21 trust banks, 13 tied to crypto. The challenge reaches the legal basis for the charters. Stablecoin issuance, payments and nonfiduciary custody face more uncertainty than plain fiduciary custody. Effects on existing approvals …

Six US banks failed through Sept. 25, holding about $1.43 billion in combined assets. The five that failed in 2023 held roughly $552.54 billion. Different reporting dates prevent an exact ratio, but the failure count obscures the scale of the banks involved. The FDIC’s problem-bank list fell to 47 in June. Individual closures still cause losses; a wider crisis needs evidence of spreading withdrawals, funding stress …
Arbitrum blocked new Stylus activations on One and Nova after citing AI-assisted attack risks. Existing programs can keep running and renew before expiry, while ordinary Solidity contracts remain unaffected. Arbitrum says no attack enabling theft of user funds has been discovered. A separate safeguard could delay unconfirmed withdrawals if conflicting proofs are accepted; installing it does not itself pause withdraw…
Lower GPU rental rates help AI customers, but can leave operators struggling to cover equipment debt. Compute derivatives could offset falling rates while owners keep renting their machines to customers. Luxor says a liquid derivatives market has not formed yet. A hedge also cannot fill idle GPUs, and a benchmark that differs from actual customer rates can leave revenue exposed even when the contract pays as promise…
LIBRA and M3M3 investors lost a district-court route to recovery after Judge Jennifer Rochon dismissed their amended complaint with prejudice on Sept. 29. She denied another amendment and ordered the New York case closed. The RICO claims failed on continuity, while jurisdiction and pleading defects defeated other claims. Adding MELANIA, ENRON and TRUST did not fix those problems. The order does not establish that ev…
Showing the 12 most recent of 412 posts we hold for @Coindesk001. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Read from Telegram’s recommendation API, most recently 22 August 2026. Telegram holds a list like this for a small and growing share of the register — how this is measured, and why most channel pages show nothing here.
Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
