Bitcoin is holding above $81,000 while Brent crude oil has climbed past $116 a barrel, its highest level since late April. Oil at a six-month high can shift the macro backdrop that traders watch across crypto and gold.
Bitcoin edged up 0.5% to around $81,700 since midnight UTC, while the broader CoinDesk 80 index rose 1.4%. Memecoins led the gains, climbing 2.9%, and Pepe jumped 13%, per the headline. The move suggests risk appetite is returning to smaller coins, though bitcoin itself is only drifting higher.
Heatbit has launched the Bitwater, a $899 heating element that swaps a tank's resistance wire for 20 mining chips. The company says the same electricity heats the water and runs the mining. For traders, it is a small story about bitcoin mining hardware, not a major market event.
Past bitcoin bear-market lows came after U.S. midterm elections. This year's recovery suggests the market bottom may have arrived months earlier. If so, the usual election-cycle timing may not guide traders this time.
On Oct. 22, bitcoin briefly fell below $81,000 while the Nasdaq dropped more than 2%. Spot gold fell about 2.7% to $4,025 and silver slid about 5.8%. The 10-year Treasury yield fell below 5% in its biggest one-day drop in over two years, a move traders may read as a warning for risky assets.
The crypto market has been calm recently, and Bitcoin has been holding steady. Market analysts believe this quiet period could be a positive sign, and that a bull market may be approaching. Traders may see this as a time to watch closely rather than act quickly.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net withdrawals on Thursday, which ended a three-day run of inflows. For October so far, these funds show $175 million in net outflows. Traders may read this as a sign that demand for Bitcoin through these funds has cooled.
Bitcoin Core has changed its security policy. The developers say keeping some vulnerabilities secret now offers little protection because AI tools make bugs easier to find. For traders, this is a software security story rather than a price event, but it shows how AI is changing crypto risk.
BTC is trading near $81,772, down 1.3% over 24 hours but holding above a rising trendline. The next 1H close above $82,269 or below $81,638 should show which way it breaks.
Bitcoin and gold cut their early losses as the yen gave back its gains and Asian stocks bounced back. Oil is still near $100, keeping inflation worries in focus for traders.
Switzerland has approved a spot Bitcoin ETF open to retail investors. BIT Asset Management's Bitcoin Fund ETF is expected to start trading on SIX Swiss Exchange in November. Public sales are limited to Switzerland, so the impact may stay local for now.
BIT Asset Management's Bitcoin Fund ETF is expected to begin trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange in November. It is the first retail spot Bitcoin ETF in Switzerland, and it will only be offered to investors in Switzerland. The launch gives Swiss investors a regulated way to buy Bitcoin exposure through a traditional exchange.
A Singapore company is behind Europe's first spot Bitcoin ETF. Separately, Switzerland is partnering with Vietnam on crypto technology. The developments show growing crypto links between Europe and Asia, which may matter for traders following institutional Bitcoin products.
A new DWF Labs report shared with CryptoSlate found that US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded outflows in seven of eight major selloffs. The funds consistently lost money during declines of at least 15% since their January 2024 launch. This challenges the idea that Wall Street investors would steady prices during downturns.
A shareholder of stablecoin company Circle has filed a lawsuit against President Trump. The suit alleges he corruptly profited from crypto deals worth $2 billion in the UAE. For traders, it adds legal and political uncertainty around a major player in the stablecoin market.
The Blockchain Association asked congressional leaders to pass bipartisan crypto tax legislation. The Clarity Act looks close to dead, the House tax bill no longer includes mining and staking relief, and Congress is out until after the midterms. For traders, this means little near-term progress on crypto rules and tax relief.
Reports say China is moving to seize about $5 billion in bitcoin from a man it accuses of fraud, who allegedly tried to flee to the UK with nearly 62,000 bitcoins. The case shows how governments may act against large crypto holdings. Traders may watch for further moves, since large government actions can affect sentiment in the bitcoin market.
Bitcoin was roughly flat over the last 24 hours, down 0.06% at $81,544.90, while 166 of 284 tracked coins rose. Several news reports describe Bitcoin sliding toward $81,000 as oil prices climbed and U.S. stocks turned lower. The most likely reasons are higher energy prices, renewed rate-hike worries, and steady outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs.
A reported bug in Bitcoin Core 32 can cause problems importing PSBT v2 files in wallets running mixed software versions. The fix has been pushed to the next patch release, and an explicit RPC option can still create v0 files. For traders, this is a technical wallet issue that could slow some multisig signing, not a direct market event.
Bitcoin's mining difficulty is rising even though the mining industry is moving toward AI, according to BlocksBridge. Smaller operators may pick up equipment that larger competitors leave behind, which could keep competition high for miners.
