Macro Environment
Eurozone September HICP surged to 3.8%, exceeding forecasts and pressuring the ECB ahead of its October 29 decision.

Interoperability and RWA-linked altcoins led gains, with Midnight up 25.4%, LayerZero +17.7%, and Sky +17.7%, driven by protocol upgrades and institutional RWA adoption momentum.
