Crypto News

Crypto ends the day on a cautious note, still shaking off October’s historic whiplash. Bitcoin (BTC) is chopping between 110,000 and 115,000 after a large short bet and renewed whale selling dented confidence, and options desks report a tilt toward puts as traders hedge for more downside. That follows the October 10 flash crash that erased 20 percent from BTC and 50 to 80 percent from many altcoins in minutes, liquidating 19 billion in leverage and testing Bitcoin’s digital gold narrative. Analysts warn of short term fragility, with 110,000 seen as key support. Even so, big money is not stepping away. Corporate Bitcoin treasuries surged 38 percent in the third quarter, with 172 companies now sitting on more than 1 million BTC combined. On the Ethereum (ETH) side, BitMine snapped up 104,336 ETH for 417 million during the dip, while SharpLink raised 75.6 million through a share offering to bulk up an ETH treasury it already stakes for rewards. That accumulation theme extended to Cardano...

Markets are heading into the night with a little more spring in their step. Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted that rate cuts and an end to balance sheet runoff could be on the table, a combo that tends to lift risk appetite and crypto liquidity. After last weeks flash crash, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan framed the slump as a speed bump rather than a blowout, pointing to steady ETFs and no structural breaks. Meanwhile, the U.S. government shutdown continues to gum up the SECs calendar, delaying several crypto ETF decisions, but that has not stopped issuers. Ark Invest is teeing up more Bitcoin (BTC) products, including yield focused variants, and Volatility Shares filed for 3x and 5x leveraged crypto ETFs across names like Ethereum (ETH), Solana, and XRP, a bold bet on demand even as approvals sit in limbo. Adding a macro wrinkle, Bitcoin and gold have been moving in lockstep, with correlation surging as investors crowd into perceived stores of value. Institutional plumbing kept getting denser...

As the sun sets on one of the more whiplash days this cycle, crypto is nursing bruises and comparing notes. Tariff talk out of Washington sparked a cascade of liquidations that wiped out more than nineteen billion in leveraged positions and shaved hundreds of billions off market cap before a late-day rebound steadied nerves. Bitcoin (BTC) swung between roughly 103,000 and 126,000 in recent sessions as support levels were stress-tested again, while ETF outflows highlighted just how sensitive the market remains to macro headlines and funding conditions. Yet the safe-haven narrative got an unexpected boost from one of Wall Street’s steadiest hands. BlackRock’s Larry Fink, once a skeptic, compared Bitcoin to gold, calling it a legitimate alternative asset. That positioning resonated in flows: while many Bitcoin and Ether funds bled, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust still attracted more than sixty million, underscoring the firm’s growing dominance and Fink’s ongoing drumbeat on tokenizati...

After a bruising stretch driven by tariff headlines, crypto staged a forceful rebound into the evening. A misunderstanding around U.S.-China trade chatter cleared the air, risk appetite returned, and more than 180 billion dollars in value rushed back into the asset class as stock futures climbed alongside digital assets. Bitcoin (BTC) clawed back six figures and Ethereum (ETH) jumped, setting the tone for a risk-on close. Institutions did not miss the volatility. MARA Holdings scooped up 400 BTC (BTC) via FalconX, while Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. added another 220 BTC, signaling that big balance sheets still view weakness as opportunity. On the smart-contract side, BitMine Immersion Technologies went on offense after the crash, buying over 200,000 ETH (ETH), a move that now leaves the firm with more than 2.5 percent of Ether’s supply according to its tally. Momentum followed the money. Ethereum notched an 8 percent pop back over 4,000 dollars with some desks eyeing a path tow...

Volatility returned to crypto into the close, with macro jitters pulling prices lower even as institutional adoption headlines kept the drumbeat going. The total market cap slipped nearly 1 percent to about 4.12 trillion dollars after tariff rhetoric stoked risk-off nerves, sending Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) on another intraday roller coaster. Bitcoin hovered in a wide band between roughly 121,000 and just below its all-time high near 126,000 as traders debated whether a supercycle narrative can withstand tighter financial conditions. ETF demand still looks sturdy, with fresh inflows around 198 million dollars helping offset the wobble. Longer term, Deutsche Bank thinks central banks could be adding Bitcoin to reserves by 2030 alongside gold, a sign of how far the asset has come from the fringes even as short-term liquidity remains sensitive to a rising dollar and geopolitics. Ethereum’s week of two tales continued. Price wise, ETH cooled to about 4,352 after a run toward 4,750...
