Bitcoin Holds Above $80,000 as Kospi Plunge Hits Altcoins
Bitcoin stayed above $80,000 (USD) on 15 October 2026 even as a sharp sell-off in South Korea's Kospi index dragged altcoins lower across the CoinDesk 80 and CoinDesk 100 indexes.
If crypto markets keep moving in lockstep with traditional stock indexes during sell-offs, does that undermine the original case for digital assets as an independent store of value? Or is this correlation a temporary phase tied to current institutional adoption patterns, one that could fade as the asset class matures over time? This question matters for anyone deciding how much of a portfolio belongs in crypto.
