Q3 Crypto Market Review, Bitget/Near Exploits, and Privacy's Next Era

In this episode of Galaxy Grid, the hosts break down a massive Q3 close for crypto, with Bitcoin trading above $80K and Ethereum posting its best quarter since Q3 2024. The panel unpacks the structural drivers behind the recent market resilience, including strong ETF inflows, rising onchain DEX volumes, and major tokenized equity announcements from ICE and OKX. The discussion also covers the potential launch of a Polymarket token, analyzing whether the leading prediction market actually needs one as a user acquisition tool. Finally, the hosts examine the fallout from the $387 million Bitget hack—the largest of the year—and explore the Ethereum Foundation's new ZK API initiative, which could lay the groundwork for a new era of onchain privacy and secure AI inference.
