$BTC is holding near $83,000 despite a harsh macro backdrop: CPI inflation at 3.7%, Brent crude above $110, and the Nasdaq posting its worst week since June. During this period, Bitcoin held above $82,500 and outperformed the index by about 3.5 points. It is still roughly 35% below its October 2025 peak of $126,198. This looks like a “safe haven,” but not the start of a new rally.

MicroStrategy bought more Bitcoin again: this time, 267 $BTC . JAN3 co-founder Samson Mow says companies with Bitcoin treasuries, including $MSTR , are “severely undervalued.” Meanwhile, analysts warn that the era of “easy money” is over, so accumulation is no longer as fast as it used to be. Purchases have become smaller, but steady.
Do you believe $MSTR is undervalued, or is it just a narrative? 👇

According to reports, Goldman Sachs has become the largest holder of the spot ETF for $SOL . We previously heard about banks in the context of $BTC and $ETH , and now institutional interest is shifting toward Solana too. This doesn’t guarantee a price increase: SOL is trading around $104 today, and the news itself doesn’t change market dynamics. But it shows that major players are betting on strong networks.
Do you think SOL is the leading candidate for institutional demand after $ETH ? 👇

Binance.US and Blockchain.com have filed applications with the CFTC to launch regulated prediction markets. These are applications, not approvals: approval or launch has not yet been confirmed. Crypto companies are moving beyond token trading and expanding their product offerings. For the $BNB ecosystem, this is another sign that major exchanges are seeking new sources of revenue amid a prolonged downturn.
Will prediction markets be the next big thing for exchanges? 👇

The OCC today approved final rules for stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act. They include strict requirements for reserves, redemption procedures, and risk management, and will take effect on January 18, 2027. For $USDT and $USDC , this is a step toward clear “rules of the game” in the U.S., and for the market, it means less uncertainty about stablecoins. But not all issuers will meet the new requirements at the same pace.
Will this strengthen trust in stablecoins or, on the contrary, increase regulatory pressure? 👇

Wintermute transferred 1 090 $BTC (about $90 million) to three new wallets, while the market maker itself calls $82,500 a critical level. According to Glassnode, altcoins had their worst weekend since April, and money is flowing into Bitcoin as a “safe haven.” Until $BTC pulls the market along, alts will most likely move sideways.

$XRP rebounded 5% to a weekly high near $1.36, even as spot ETFs tied to it ended a 13-week run of positive inflows. Ripple backed the SEC’s new proposal for crypto rules, but is calling for key changes. For $XRP , regulatory clarity is the main driver, while ETF demand is weakening for now. The balance between these two factors will determine the next move.

Futures open interest $XMR exceeded $300 million and approached the January record of around $320 million. Analyst Doctor Profit warns of a possible $287 million liquidation. When open interest rises, the price can move sharply in either direction. This is not a signal to buy or sell, but a reminder of the risks of leverage.

Zcash is preparing for the NU7 upgrade: block time will drop from 75 to 25 seconds, making the network three times faster. The mainnet launch is targeted for November 5, and the old Sprout v4 version of private transactions will be disabled. The upgrade does not create demand for $ZEC on its own, but it adds relevance to the broader privacy story. The price still depends on the market and ETFs.

$BTC обновил недельный максимум около $83 500 и остановился под уровнем сопротивления. Спотовые ETF привлекли почти $550 млн за два дня (на предыдущей неделе из них, напротив, вывели около $229 млн), хотя фонды ETH за то же время потеряли $129 млн. Выше $84 000–85 000 сосредоточено более $2 млрд потенциальной ликвидности шортов, и именно там рынок может резко ускориться. Но до заседания ФРС 27–28 октября всё может измениться.
Это начало движения к $85K или очередная ловушка для лонгов? 👇

Korea is back in the spotlight. Injective and BDACS signed a memorandum on settlements in won-denominated stablecoins for tokenized assets, while $INJ is trading around $8.7. In addition, token $MPLX briefly surged more than 110% on news of a Korean listing, but closed up just 48%. The Korean market reacts to such news instantly, but rallies often pull back.

On October 20, Switzerland’s financial regulator FINMA approved the first retail ETF under Swiss fund law that invests directly in $BTC . The regulator specifically highlighted custody risks, operational risks, and disclosure. Approval doesn’t mean money has already flowed in: we’ll see inflows only after launch. But for Europe, this is another legal entry point into Bitcoin for everyday investors.
Will there be real demand for ETFs like this, or is it mostly about image? 👇

On October 8, about $2.84 million was stolen from an institutional holder on BNB Chain. According to ZachXBT, the North Korea-linked group SquidSquad was behind it. On October 20, the attacker deposited 1 111 $ETH into Tornado Cash and withdrew it to three addresses, then transferred it to Tron. These groups operate using identity spoofing and malware, so the main rule is simple: don’t open files from “investors” or “partners,” and verify every link.

BNB Standard, formerly CEA Industries, will begin trading on Nasdaq on October 26. It is building a business around a treasury in $BNB and plans to launch its own validator on BNB Chain. It is a public company that holds the token on its balance sheet and earns additional revenue from the network. Stories like these usually attract the attention of institutional investors.

$BTC bounced to $82,700, but for the third time it has failed to hold above $83,200. The market is in limbo ahead of the Fed meeting on October 27–28: this week, we’ll also get US labor market data and reports from Meta, Tesla, and IBM. There may not be any major moves before the Fed’s decision, but volatility is likely to pick up afterward.

The $SOL network processed 8.92 billion transactions in Q3, but its price remains around $104. Network activity is growing, but the price isn't. $XRP is in a similar situation: the coin is near $1.30, while ETF outflows are weighing on sentiment. The market is paying for the narrative, not the stats.

Bitmine bought an additional 12,535 $ETH while the price remains below $2,500. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is expanding its deposit token, JPM Coin, to the Ethereum network. Corporations are building their positions during the dip, while institutional tokenization is converging on a single network. This doesn’t guarantee a price increase, but it shows where the big money is betting.

German Sparkassen are launching crypto trading for customers, offering five major tokens. This is one of Europe’s largest banking networks, so millions of people will gain access to crypto without using exchanges. The bank will clarify exactly which tokens will be included, but betting on $BTC and $ETH seems logical. For the market, this means long-term demand, not a short-lived impulse.
Is crypto banking good news for prices, or just a convenience for retail investors? 👇

Spot ETFs on $BTC and $ETH lost $548.5 million over the week, while redemptions totaled $1.86 billion for October overall. Meanwhile, BlackRock is preparing a fund that protects investors from deep losses, and JPMorgan forecasts bitcoin returns of around 10% annually over the next decade. Big players aren't leaving the market; they're changing how they enter it.

$BTC plunged to $81,400 after Asian chip stocks tumbled: the Kospi index fell 3.7% amid fears about AI. Options traders are rushing to buy downside protection, meaning the market is bracing for a worst-case scenario. Key support levels: the 100-day EMA near $77,100 and the 200-day EMA around $76,000. Holding $80,000 is now the key question of the week.
