Polymarket Predicts BTC USD Falls Under $100K by 2026: Is This the End?
A ‘Will Bitcoin dip below $100k before 2026’ market on Prediction platform Polymarket has surged 10% overnight, and is now flashing a 57% chance of ‘Yes’. It comes as BTC USD continues to struggle in its attempt to reclaim $110,000, highlighting its weak short-term price action.
All eyes are currently on the monthly close for Bitcoin. If it enters October above $108,000, its high-timeframe bullish structure will remain intact. However, if it falls under $108,000, Q4 could get ugly for the leading digital asset and, by proxy, the broader altcoin market.

First Digital ID: Is the British Pound Going Digital? Tokenized Sterling Explained
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer triggered fury Today as he revealed plans for UK digital ID, but are major banks planning to take the British pound (GBP) digital too?
Britain’s biggest banks have launched live tests of “tokenized” sterling, digital versions of bank deposits designed for faster and more controlled payments.

Six lenders, Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, NatWest, Nationwide, and Santander, are taking part in the pilot, which is being coordinated by UK Finance. The project began on September 26 and will run until mid-2026.
The tests focus on three use cases: marketplace payments, remortgaging, and digital-asset settlement.
According to UK Finance, the goal is to cut fraud, speed up settlement, and give customers more control over how money moves.
This marks one of the most significant steps yet in the UK’s push toward programmable money. Instead of creating a new currency, tokenized deposits work as digital representations of money already held at banks.
They are expected to play a central role in the country’s broader digital-finance strategy, sitting alongside the Bank of England’s work on digital money and securities.
