Jinse Finance reported that Cøbra, the long-term maintainer of the official Bitcoin website Bitcoin.org, stated that Knots may replace Core as the reference software for running Bitcoin network nodes. Earlier this year, most senior developers of Bitcoin Core decided to make significant changes to OP_RETURN (a Bitcoin script tool widely used for storing arbitrary data on the blockchain) in October 2025. If nodes upgrade their software from the current Bitcoin Core 29 version to version 30, the new default settings in the Core software will accept and relay a large amount of data unrelated to on-chain bitcoin (BTC) transfers. In the view of Core developers, increasing the OP_RETURN data carrier limit can modernize the data storage role of the mempool and keep it consistent with the consensus rules of the Bitcoin ledger. However, from the perspective of Knots (a forked and dissenting version of the Core software), nodes should by default filter out most arbitrary data to prevent such behavior from occupying Bitcoin's valuable block space.

According to Freddie Mac data, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate has risen to 7.4%, the highest level in nearly three years. Data from real estate brokerage Redfin shows that the volume of existing home pending sales in September fell 4% month-on-month, marking the largest single-month drop in over three years and hitting the lowest level since 2014. Nearly one-fifth of sellers have reduced prices, and the home purchase contract cancellation rate has reached a record high of 14.5%. Inventory levels have risen to the highest since March 2020, but high financing costs continue to constrain transactions.
