On the monetary front, the Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan and European Central Bank are all due to announce policy decisions this week. The Fed is widely expected to cut rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, which could bolster riskier assets like bitcoin, while its peers are likely to stay on hold. Markets will watch closely for any signals of further easing in December.

Bitcoin price is once again testing the patience of traders, moving within one of the tightest percentile price ranges in its history. For more than four months, BTC has traded between roughly $106,000 and $123,000. This period of quiet has pushed volatility to its lowest level ever recorded on six-month metrics. Each time in the past that volatility has fallen to similar depths, it has been followed by a major trending move.

EverGive, the company behind a world-first Bitcoin reserve for charitable giving, has acquired an additional 0.91 Bitcoin for almost $100,000, bringing the reserve's total holdings to over 25 BTC, valued at $2.8 million. This latest milestone strengthens EverGive's mission to build a long-term digital endowment for global charitable causes. The EverGive Bitcoin Reserve is powered by donations from over 20,000 donors, with the company targeting 100,000 donors and a $10 million reserve by the end of 2025.

A sharp Bitcoin decline often triggers systemic contagion, driving altcoins lower through both liquidity and confidence channels. During crises, the market tends to view crypto as a single risk asset rather than valuing individual utility, as seen in the high BTC-ETH and BTC-XRP correlations. Correlation and beta analyses are essential for quantifying how deeply Ether and XRP depend on Bitcoin's performance.

Nordea Bank Abp (Nordea) has announced that it will offer its customers access, from December 2025, to a synthetic exchange-traded product (ETP) whose underlying asset is Bitcoin (BTC). According to Nordea's official announcement, the product will be manufactured externally by CoinShares International Limited and made available through Nordea's execution-only platform. Under this model, customers may trade the product, but Nordea will not offer advisory services on it.

Crypto markets continue to struggle on the back of the FOMC meeting this past Wednesday. Fed Chair Powell's comment of no guarantee of cuts in December has had markets reeling, with Bitcoin beginning to recover today, trading above its 200 day SMA at around $110,000 at this time of writing. But Bitcoin's recovery is not as significant as Z-Cash, the crypto story of the moment.

Bitcoin has gone through many massive transformations since that day 17 years ago. It went from a niche internet collectible, to a decentralized network powering illegal dark net markets, to a mainstream speculative investment for retail, to Wall Street and governments all over the world's favorite new asset class. We have all had front row seats to the first explosive global technological revolution to the internet, and it's been a wild ride.

Elon Musk's Tesla reported an $80 million gain on its Bitcoin holdings in the third quarter of 2025, benefiting from the crypto market's rebound without making any new trades. According to Tesla's Q3 filing released on Wednesday, the electric vehicle maker continues to hold 11,509 BTC - valued at roughly $1.31 billion as of September 30, up from $1.23 billion in Q2. The increase came entirely from Bitcoin's price appreciation, not from additional purchases or sales.

Bitcoin remains trapped within a bearish structure, forming successive lower highs and lower lows that keep momentum tilted to the downside. For any meaningful reversal to take hold, the asset needs to reclaim and hold solidly above the $111K threshold, which is a level that would help rebuild the confidence required for trend stabilization. Until then, market rallies are likely to be viewed as temporary corrective moves within a broader downtrend.

Aureo, formerly known as Swapido, has raised $1.1 million in pre-seed funding from Early Riders to develop a specialized Bitcoin platform targeting high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), family offices, and companies in Mexico and Latin America. The funding, announced on October 20, 2025, will support the creation of a white-glove service focused on secure Bitcoin transactions, custody, and advisory for institutional and long-term holders.

Bitcoin rose back above USD 110,000 on Monday, extending its rebound from last week's lows as risk appetite improved on hopes of a de-escalation in US-China trade tensions. The cryptocurrency has posted gains for three consecutive sessions as investors reacted to signs of renewed diplomatic engagement, improving investor sentiment and bolstering riskier assets like Bitcoin. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are set to meet in Malaysia this week,

In a significant development for global financial markets, Roxom has launched Bitcoin-denominated perpetual futures, enabling traders to benchmark and trade major assets like the S&P 500 and Gold directly in Bitcoin terms. This innovation marks the first time that traditional assets, historically priced in dollars, can be measured against Bitcoin as a unit of account. The launch comes at a time when de-dollarization trends are accelerating globally, with central banks diversifying reserves and BRICS nations increasingly settling trade outside the US dollar system.

In July 2014, when Bitcoin was trading near six hundred dollars and most executives dismissed it as an internet novelty, Pierre Rochard published an essay titled Speculative Attack. It was a dense, Austrian-leaning treatise that argued Bitcoin would not be adopted because it was "better technology," but because economic reality would force adoption. People, he wrote, would eventually borrow weak money to buy strong money, and in doing so, trigger a chain reaction that undermines fiat itself.

Our new Bitcoin Treasury Tracker provides day-by-day insight into how much Bitcoin these major public and private treasury companies hold, when they've accumulated, and how their positions have evolved. These treasuries now collectively hold over 1 million BTC, a staggering sum representing over 5% of the total circulating supply. The scale of this accumulation has been a cornerstone of Bitcoin's current cycle strength. However, some of these companies are facing increasing pressure as their equity valuations struggle to keep pace with the Bitcoin price itself.

"We at Tether believe that Bitcoin, and the free, open-source software that powers it, are indispensable to a freer and decentralized future,"

"blockchain is real."

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO broke a three-year quiet streak on bitcoin early Tuesday, commenting on an X post from financial outlet ZeroHedge that tied surging gold, silver, and Bitcoin prices to global monetary "debasement" driven by artificial intelligence spending. "True," Musk replied. "That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy."

Over the weekend, after President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced a 100% tariff on all imports from China, effective November 1, 2025 (or earlier if Beijing continues its export restrictions on rare earth materials), global risk assets immediately tumbled. Bitcoin reacted most sharply, plunging nearly 17%, from around $122,000 to approximately $107,500 within a few hours, before quickly rebounding to around $115,000 by early Monday trading.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, recognized for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called her "tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela." But for many in the Bitcoin community, the win carries another layer of meaning - because Machado isn't just a democracy activist. She's also one of few (but growing) global political figures who has openly embraced Bitcoin as a tool of resistance against authoritarianism.
