Bitcoin ETFs took in $1.08 billion of net inflows over three days, according to CoinDesk's analysis. That pace may not be strong enough to support a steep bitcoin rally, based on past rallies. Traders may want to watch whether inflows pick up.
Bitcoin is trading near $82,887, up 0.2% over the last 24 hours, and sits about 2.3% below its October 21 high of $84,875. The next 4H close near the $82,500 to $84,134 range will decide the next move.
Bitcoin briefly broke above $84,000 late Wednesday but then fell back to $82,500, a support level analysts are watching. The drop came as tech futures also declined, and traders may be watching whether AI worries are weighing on crypto.
About $41 million in Bitcoin tied to an Irish drug lord, previously considered lost, has moved to an address Arkham labels as a Coinbase Prime deposit. The same destination was also used in July and August. Traders may watch this kind of transfer, since it shows coins becoming active again, though the move alone does not confirm a sale.
Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla and SpaceX are exploring a merger that could bring their current Bitcoin holdings, about 30,221 BTC, under one company. Both firms set up committees of independent directors to assess the idea, and Musk called it a good idea. For traders, this is a corporate story that could affect how large Bitcoin holdings are managed, but no deal has been agreed.
Three companies have told the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) they intend to start trading tokenized stocks. The SEC is accepting applications from firms that want to list these tokenized stocks. For traders, this could point to new regulated ways to trade stock-linked tokens.
Bitcoin fell 3.7% over 24 hours to about $81,548, and most major coins also dropped, with only 43 of 292 tracked coins higher. The news points to a risk-off mood driven by an AI-related selloff in tech stocks, a slide in the Nasdaq, and high oil prices that have revived fears of interest rate hikes.
The CFTC has issued a preliminary view that turning down a Bitcoin loan does not guarantee a cash purchase avoids futures rules. The view depends on applicable credit offers and actual delivery, not only on whether the buyer used financing. Traders who buy crypto with cash may still need to check how these rules could apply to them.
Bitcoin rose back near $84,500, its highest level of the week, as a broad crypto rebound followed October's slide. XRP and Zcash are leading the gains. The rebound has also brought the idea of "Uptober" back into discussion.
British bank Standard Chartered has agreed to acquire Zodia Custody, a crypto custody firm. It plans to combine Zodia's bitcoin and crypto services with its own. For traders, the deal points to traditional banks taking a bigger role in crypto, which can signal growing institutional interest.
Bitcoin Lightning developers have raised security concerns after a second patch arrived within five days. The new version, 0.14.5, fixes problems that malicious nodes could exploit. It also lets Eclair operators upgrade without closing their existing channels.
Elon Musk said the boards of Tesla and SpaceX have each formed committees to study a possible merger. Together, the two firms hold 11,509 BTC and 18,712 BTC, roughly $2.5 billion in total, which would sit on one balance sheet. The plan is still under review, but it could make the combined company a major corporate bitcoin holder.
Kalshi Prime clients can now borrow money using bitcoin as collateral. The loans run through a three-party setup with BitGo and can be used to margin perpetual futures. For traders, this gives more ways to take leveraged crypto positions, which can increase both gains and losses.
Bitcoin's price is rising quickly, moving alongside the stock market. Investors are feeling more optimistic about tech after SpaceX's earnings, which may encourage traders to take on more risk.
Bitcoin holders can borrow cash or stablecoins using their BTC as collateral, without selling it. The explainer covers how collateral, loan-to-value (LTV) and liquidations work. For traders, understanding liquidation risk matters if they hold or borrow against BTC.
Bitcoin extended its gains toward $85,000, trading around $84.6K. US stock markets rose after SpaceX reported higher-than-expected earnings. A risk-on mood in stocks may be supporting crypto, so traders may want to watch whether the move holds.
President Trump plans to highlight a crackdown on overseas crypto scams at a White House cybercrime event, including seizures of fraudulent crypto sites. The report cites FBI data showing $11.3 billion in U.S. crypto fraud losses in 2025. For traders, the focus on fraud enforcement may draw more regulatory attention to the crypto sector, but the direct market impact looks limited.
Bitcoin rose 2.52% in the last 24 hours to about $84,624, and most of the market moved with it: 229 of 286 tracked coins are higher. The most likely driver is a risk-on mood after US stocks climbed on higher-than-expected SpaceX earnings, which may have pulled traders into riskier assets like crypto. Ether, XRP, and DOGE also gained, but Ether's large ETF outflows in October show that demand for it is weaker.
J.P. Morgan has published its first-ever Bitcoin price forecast in a long-term capital market report. The bank projects Bitcoin as the top asset through 2036, with base and bull case return targets. For traders, a major bank backing Bitcoin's long-term outlook may draw attention to the asset.
A Bitcoin Magazine analysis by Allard Peng looks at the accretive potential of Strive's SATS preferred stock, which carries a 15% yield. The piece argues the structure could help grow bitcoin holdings per share. Traders may watch it as a sign of how bitcoin-linked financial products are being built.
