Gas charges tipped many small Uniswap liquidity positions behind simply holding the tokens, according to blockchain data firm Bitquery’s October 16 study. Among closed regular positions below $1,000 in eight sampled Ethereum v3 pools, 51% finished ahead before gas, compared with 18% afterward.

Global onshore oil inventories fell by an estimated 113 million barrels in September, according to the International Energy Agency’s October 14 report. A buildup at sea offset most of that draw, leaving the prospects for energy-led inflation relief uncertain for Bitcoin investors.Global observed inventories fell just 10 million barrels because oil on water increased by 103 million barrels. The small net decline therefore concealed a much larger loss from onshore buffers.The IEA linked the waterborne buildup to recovering Gulf exports. Gulf crude shipments reached 13.9 million barrels a day in September, more than 75% of pre-war levels. Oil afloat remains…
