Cobo will close its consumer wallet app on Dec. 1 and charge 2% a month, minimum $100, on any assets still inside. Because $100 is 2% of a $5,000 balance, every smaller balance pays more than 2% a month.

Bitcoin fell about $3,540 on Oct. 7 after reports of tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, $2,000 of it in 30 minutes, as ETH slid below $2,600. Liquidated leveraged longs set the pace, so whether prices hold once that forced selling clears will show how much of the move was about oil.
