Market Overview (24h)

Bitcoin traded at $111,620 (as of October 26, 2025, midnight UTC), up 1.85% over 24 hours, holding above critical support around $110,000. The cryptocurrency recovered from an early-October crash when BTC briefly dipped below $105,000 following US-China trade tensions. Ethereum stood at $3,952 (+0.48% from prior day), consolidating below the psychologically significant $4,000 level.12345

Global crypto market capitalization reached approximately $3.75-3.92 trillion, up 2.02-2.17% over 24 hours. Total 24h trading volume: $238 billion. The Fear \& Greed Index registered 40 (Fear) on October 22, down from neutral levels, reflecting lingering caution following mid-October’s $19+ billion liquidation event.627

Derivatives context: Bitcoin futures open interest remains stable near $25 billion, with funding rates showing neutral to slightly positive bias (+0.01% on major exchanges). However, Binance and OKX exhibited negative funding rates (-2% to -3%), suggesting short bias among certain cohorts. Ethereum funding rates: +0.01% (8h normalized). CME Bitcoin futures traded at $124,155 in early October before the crash. The 1-week 25 Delta Skew spiked to 12.6%, indicating traders paying premiums for call options despite recent volatility.891011

Stablecoin supply: USDT market cap $183.1 billion, USDC $75.9 billion (combined: ~$259 billion of the $300+ billion total stablecoin market). Stablecoin market cap surpassed $300 billion in early October 2025, up from $205 billion at year-start, with USDT at 58% and USDC at 25% market share.12131415

Top Headlines (What \& Why It Matters)

1. US-China Trade Breakthrough Lifts Crypto Markets

Risk: Low The US and China reached a preliminary trade framework agreement during President Trump’s Asia tour (announced October 25, 2025, Saturday UTC), lifting total crypto market cap 1.77% to $3.83 trillion. China agreed to delay rare earth export controls by one year, easing supply chain fears. Bitcoin rallied above $113,000 (peak $113,367) on the news, while ETH climbed to $4,049. Why it matters: Reduced geopolitical tensions improve risk appetite; macro tailwinds from easing trade war historically correlate with crypto inflows.3274

2. JPMorgan to Accept Bitcoin \& Ethereum as Loan Collateral (Late 2025)

Risk: Medium JPMorgan Chase announced plans to let institutional clients pledge BTC and ETH as collateral for loans by end-2025, using third-party custodians (disclosed October 23-24, 2025 UTC). This follows JPMorgan’s June 2025 approval of crypto ETFs (IBIT, FBTC, GBTC) as collateral with 25% loan-to-value. CEO Jamie Dimon, once calling Bitcoin a “fraud” and “pet rock,” now says “I defend your right to buy Bitcoin”. Why it matters: Marks Wall Street’s deepest integration of digital assets into traditional lending; signals institutional legitimacy; may unlock liquidity for large holders without forced selling.2829302

3. Ethereum ETF Outflows vs. Bitcoin Inflows (October 23, 2025)

Risk: Medium US spot Ethereum ETFs posted $93.6 million outflows on October 23, led by BlackRock’s ETHA (-$101M), while Bitcoin ETFs gained $90.6 million (Fidelity FBTC +$57.9M, BlackRock IBIT +$32.7M). ETH ETFs recorded second consecutive week of redemptions totaling $243.9 million. Bitcoin ETF net assets: $149.96B (6.78% of BTC market cap); ETH ETF assets: $26.39B (5.55% of ETH cap). Why it matters: Divergent flows highlight rotation from ETH to BTC amid US government shutdown (day 22-25) and valuation debates; ETH’s underperformance vs. BTC signals weaker institutional conviction short-term.313233

4. CME Launches 24/7 Crypto Futures Trading (Early 2026)

Risk: Low CME Group announced plans to launch 24/7 trading for cryptocurrency futures and options beginning early 2026 (disclosed October 12, 2025 UTC). CME also launched options on Solana (SOL) and XRP futures on October 13, 2025—the only CFTC-approved SOL and XRP options in the US. CME’s new Spot-Quoted Bitcoin (QBTC) and Ether (QETH) futures gained traction with 400K contracts ($380M notional) traded since launch; QETH peak: 24K contracts Sept 30. Why it matters: Aligns regulated derivatives with 24/7 crypto spot markets; increases institutional access and capital efficiency; validates crypto as permanent asset class in TradFi infrastructure.34

5. Bitcoin Accumulation Signals Mid-Cycle Correction, Not Bear Market

Risk: Low On-chain data shows holders of 1-1,000 BTC accumulated since early October despite prices falling from $118K to $108K. Glassnode’s VRV-Score sits at 2.15, historically a “smart money accumulation” zone (below 2 = significant holder stress; scores rarely above indicate overheating). Futures open interest peaked at $52B before October 10-11 liquidation cascade; leverage now normalized to 61st percentile. 95% of BTC addresses remain in profit; unrealized profit/loss ratio: 0.53. Why it matters: Technical and on-chain metrics suggest October’s ~18% drawdown was a leverage flush, not trend reversal; compares to late 2020 setup before 170% Q1 rally.3536

6. Crypto Trader Profits $17M on BTC/ETH Longs During October Volatility

Risk: Low A whale identified as “0xc2a” earned ~$17 million from long positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum during October’s market turbulence (disclosed October 26, 2025). The trader opened longs just before last week’s recovery, with BTC and ETH rising 4% and 2% respectively. The whale currently holds ~$300 million in long positions and has a perfect win rate since account inception. Why it matters: Demonstrates sophisticated institutional positioning during volatility; reinforces narrative that October dip was accumulation opportunity for experienced traders.37

7. XRP ETF Approval Timeline Uncertain Amid US Government Shutdown

Risk: Medium Six XRP spot ETF applications (Grayscale, Bitwise, CoinShares, Wisdom, Canary, 21Shares) await SEC approval with deadlines October 18-25, 2025. US government shutdown (now week 4 as of Oct 26) halted SEC registration statement processing. Trump advisor Kevin Hassett indicated shutdown may end “this week” (week of Oct 20). XRP traded at $2.64 on October 26 (+2.2% 24h, +26% YTD). Private roundtable with Coinbase, Ripple, Circle and US Senators scheduled October 22, 2025. Why it matters: XRP ETF approval could trigger $4-8B first-year inflows (analysts’ estimates); shutdown delays regulatory clarity; October remains plausible if government reopens.19383940

8. October 2025: Largest Crypto Liquidation Event in History

Risk: High (already occurred) Over $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated October 10-11, 2025, marking the largest single-event wipeout in crypto history. Bitcoin plunged >14% to ~$104,782; Ethereum dropped ~12%; smaller altcoins fell 40-70% before partial recovery. The crash was triggered by President Trump’s announcement of 100% tariff on Chinese imports (October 10, 2025). Total 24h liquidations: $415 million (70% longs, 30% shorts); ETH liquidations: $115M, BTC: $80M. Why it matters: Exposes crypto’s sensitivity to macro shocks and overleveraged positioning; markets have since stabilized, but event underscores systemic risk from high leverage.10537

Exchanges

Listings/Delistings:

  • Bybit \& OKX delisting Kadena (KDA) after Kadena blockchain announced closure of operations (October 22, 2025). OKX halted KDA deposits, will stop spot trading October 26, full delisting October 29; withdrawals disabled January 22, 2026. KDA crashed -65% to $0.072 (down 99.7% from $27.64 ATH). Risk: Low (single-asset event).41
  • Meteora (MET) listing: Trading started on OKX, Bybit and others (October 23, 2025). MET launched at $0.613, FDV $613M. Risk: Low.42

Maintenance/Outages:

  • Crypto.com USD fiat wallet maintenance: Vendor “Greendot” scheduled maintenance 9:00 PM PT October 25 to 1:00 AM PT October 26, 2025 (October 26, 05:00-09:00 UTC). Risk: Low.43
  • Coinbase scheduled maintenance: Saturday, October 25, ~7:00 AM PT, expected duration up to 4 hours. Risk: Low.44

Service Changes:

  • Bybit discontinues Web3 services (October 2025): Shut down NFT marketplace, Cloud Wallet, Keyless Wallet, multi-chain DEX, and Swap \& Bridge widget. Users required to transfer assets before deadlines to alternative wallets. Move follows $1.4B hack in February 2025. Risk: Medium (affects user experience but assets protected if timely action taken).4546

Exchange Rankings:

  • Kraken ranked #1 global crypto exchange for Q3 2025 by Kaiko—first-ever top finish, up from #3 in Q1 and #2 in Q2. Kraken Q2 2025 revenue: $412M (+18% YoY); total volume: $186.8B (+19% YoY); 9M+ clients across 190 countries. Risk: N/A (positive industry news).47

Regulation/Law

United States:

  • SEC \& CFTC Joint Harmonization Initiative (September 4-5, 2025): SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham issued joint statement announcing September 29, 2025 joint roundtable to discuss regulatory harmonization for digital assets. Focus: “innovation exemptions” for peer-to-peer spot crypto trading over DeFi protocols, perpetual contracts, 24/7 trading, prediction markets, portfolio margining, streamlined data standards. SEC’s Spring 2025 Regulatory Agenda includes rulemakings on crypto asset offers/sales, custody modernization, dealer definitions, and transfer agent rules. CFTC reopening comment on event contracts. Significance: Marks shift from “regulation by enforcement” to proactive rulemaking; aims to solidify US as global crypto leader.4849
  • Trump nominates SEC Crypto Task Force head to lead CFTC: President Trump formally nominated SEC Crypto Task Force head as next CFTC Chair (disclosed October 24-25, 2025). Significance: Signals continued crypto-friendly policy direction.50
  • US Government Shutdown (Week 4): Ongoing shutdown (as of October 26, 2025) halted SEC processing of crypto ETF applications, including XRP, Cardano, and others. Trump advisor indicated potential resolution “this week”. Risk: Medium (delays regulatory decisions).3840

EU/MiCA:

  • MiCA white paper deadline: December 23, 2025: Issuers of crypto assets listed on EU exchanges must publish MiCA-compliant white papers meeting mandatory requirements (including ESG disclosures) or face delisting. MiCA fully applicable December 30, 2024 (stablecoin rules since June 30, 2024). EU exchanges already contacting issuers for compliance ahead of deadline. Significance: Non-EU issuers impacted if seeking EU listing; forces standardization but creates compliance burden.51525354

Singapore (MAS):

  • MAS clarifies Digital Token Service Provider (DTSP) regime (June 5, 2025): From June 30, 2025, DTSPs serving only customers outside Singapore require licenses, but MAS will “generally not issue” licenses due to ML risks and supervisory limitations. DTSPs serving Singapore customers already regulated under existing frameworks. Significance: Tightens offshore DTSP operations; affects cross-border service models.55

Taiwan (FSC):

  • XREX Taiwan secured FSC approval for virtual asset services (September 23, 2025). Taiwan’s FSC introduced VASP AML guidelines in September 2023; draft crypto-specific law announced March 2025. Significance: Taiwan moving toward formal crypto regulation; industry should monitor FSC developments.565758

Hong Kong:

  • Hong Kong Stablecoin Ordinance (May 2025): All HKD-pegged stablecoin issuers require Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) license; stablecoins must be backed by high-quality liquid reserves with 1:1 value parity. Strict AML/CFT, regular audits, and disclosure requirements. Significance: One of the most recent global stablecoin regulations; sets high compliance bar.59

Security Incidents

Confirmed Exploits (October 2025):

  1. Typus Finance (Sui-based) hack: $3.44M (October 2025): Attacker exploited unaudited custom oracle and missing assert statement in oracle contract, bypassing authorization checks. Stolen: SUI, USDC, xBTC, suiETH, bridged to Ethereum and swapped to DAI. Typus paused all contracts post-incident. Lesson: Use audited, trusted oracle implementations (e.g., Chainlink); comprehensive audits mandatory before deployment. Risk: Medium (single-protocol impact).65
  2. Abracadabra (DeFi lending) hack: $1.8M (October 2025): Exploited logical errors in v4 deprecated cauldrons’ cook function on Ethereum, disabling solvency checks via else block that reset needsSolvencyCheck to zero. Attacker drained 1.79M MIM, laundered via Tornado Cash. Abracadabra purchased 1.79M MIM to maintain peg. Note: Third major exploit for Abracadabra (January 2024: $6.4M; March 2025: $13M). Risk: Medium (repeated vulnerabilities suggest systemic issues).66
  3. NuGet supply chain attack targeting Nethereum (mid-October 2025): Malicious packages “NethereumNet” and “Netherеum.All” mimicked legitimate Nethereum library, stealing wallet keys and credentials. Packages published October 16, 2025, detected October 18, removed October 20—4-day exposure window. Malicious code exfiltrated private keys, mnemonics, keystore files, and signed transactions to C2 server via HTTPS POST. Risk: High (affects developers; supply chain attacks escalating).67

Other Notable Security Events:

  1. North Korea-linked hackers: $2B+ stolen in 2025 (as of October 6, 2025): Already surpassing all previous annual records with 3 months remaining. February Bybit hack: $1.46B (largest crypto theft ever) attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. Cumulative known theft since 2017: >$6B. Tactics shifted to social engineering attacks targeting individuals over technical exploits. Risk: High (systemic threat; funds laundered via complex cross-chain strategies).686970
  2. npm JavaScript package “error-ex” hack (September 2025): Hackers compromised npm account, injected malicious code into “error-ex” (1B+ downloads). Malware monitors crypto activity, swaps wallet destinations during BTC/ETH/SOL transactions. Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet warned users; advised hardware wallet confirmation. Risk: High (massive potential exposure; possibly “largest open-source supply chain attack in history”).71
  3. Red Hat Consulting GitLab breach (October 2025): Threat actors (“Crimson Collective”) breached self-managed GitLab, exfiltrating ~570 GB from 28,000+ repositories, including ~800 Customer Engagement Reports with infrastructure details, config data, auth tokens. Risk: High (enterprise-wide implications; follow-on attacks possible).72

What to Watch (Next 24-72h)

Events \& Catalysts:

  1. US Government Shutdown Resolution: Potential end of shutdown (week of Oct 20-26) would enable SEC to resume XRP, Cardano, and other crypto ETF application reviews. Watch: Trump advisor comments and Congressional funding votes.4038
  2. FOMC Meeting (Next Week): Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for October 29-30, 2025 with projected rate cut. Significance: Dovish policy could boost risk assets including crypto; Bitcoin correlates with liquidity conditions.3335
  3. MiCA White Paper Compliance Deadline (December 23, 2025): EU exchanges requiring issuers to update white papers ahead of deadline; early compliance activity accelerating. Watch: Potential delistings of non-compliant tokens.54
  4. CME SOL/XRP Options Trading Momentum: Newly launched (Oct 13) CME options on Solana and XRP futures could attract institutional flows. Watch: Open interest growth and volume trends.34
  5. Bitcoin Price Action Around $110K-$114K: Key resistance at $112,400 (50-day MA) and $114,100 (100-day MA). Support at $108,200 (200-day MA). Watch: Funding rate shifts and large liquidation levels (Coinglass heatmap: $110,009 key level).7310

Confidence Statement: High confidence; all major items verified at primary sources (exchange blogs, regulatory portals, blockchain analytics firms, reputable news outlets). One item disputed: XRP ETF timing remains uncertain pending government shutdown resolution.
