Samsung plans USDC transfers in Wallet for late October on 82 million compatible US Galaxy devices, a count its own footnote limits to compatible devices. Funding, fees and the identity screen decide how many phones ever send a dollar.

US spot bitcoin ETFs took in $21.13 million on October 9 as ether funds lost $56.10 million, a ninth straight day of outflows. Netted together, about $35 million left the two groups, so the bitcoin rebound is too small to show institutions coming back.

Reality
US government wallets moved about $470 million of seized Bitfinex- and Alameda-linked crypto to likely Coinbase Prime addresses, Arkham said. Trump's reserve order lets officials repay victims from seized coins, so even a sale of this pool would say little about the pledge to keep reserve bitcoin.
