According to PANews, a recent analysis by FalconX, a leading institutional digital asset brokerage, reveals that the Bitcoin options market has grown significantly in size and influence, now capable of impacting spot price movements. The market's substantial open interest and the distribution of strike prices, particularly in the concentrated 'max pain' area, have become crucial factors affecting short-term market fluctuations and price anchoring. This shift indicates that the crypto derivatives market is no longer merely following spot trends but is increasingly becoming a dominant force in shaping market structure and price discovery. FalconX has also launched an electronic options trading platform to cater to the growing demand for hedging, arbitrage, and ETF-related strategies among institutional investors.

According to BlockBeats, a Bitcoin address that had been inactive for 12.5 years was recently activated. The address holds 691 Bitcoins, currently valued at approximately $86.44 million. In 2013, the value of these Bitcoins was just $104,826.

Key Takeaways:Morgan Stanley Wealth Management released a new report titled “Cryptocurrency Investing Primer.”The firm classifies Bitcoin (BTC) as a scarce asset comparable to digital gold, emphasizing its long-term value potential.The classification reflects growing institutional recognition of Bitcoin as a store of value amid macroeconomic uncertainty.According to Foresight News, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has published a new report titled “Cryptocurrency Investing Primer,” in which the firm positions Bitcoin (BTC) as a scarce, store-of-value asset comparable to digital gold.The report highlights Bitcoin’s limited supply, decentralized nature, and increasing institutional adoption as core reasons behind its classification. Analysts noted that Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a hedge against inflation and a portfolio diversifier, particularly in times of heightened economic and monetary volatility.Morgan Stanley’s latest stance echoes a broader trend among global financial institutions, many of which are integrating digital assets into their research and investment frameworks. The classification aligns Bitcoin with traditional inflation-hedging assets such as gold and commodities, while acknowledging the unique advantages of its digital and decentralized design.

Key Takeaways:Bitcoin supply on centralized exchanges has dropped to just over 2.8 million BTC, the lowest level in nearly six years.The decline signals long-term accumulation as investors move assets into self-custody and cold storage.The drop coincides with Bitcoin trading near $124,000, reflecting strong investor confidence and reduced sell-side pressure.According to on-chain data from Glassnode, reported by BlockBeats, the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) held on centralized trading platforms has fallen to just over 2.8 million BTC, marking its lowest level since late 2019.This trend indicates a growing preference among investors to withdraw their Bitcoin from exchanges, often a sign of long-term holding behavior and reduced selling pressure in the market.The six-year low comes as Bitcoin continues to trade around $124,000, hovering near its recent all-time high. Analysts note that the declining exchange reserves suggest that market participants are increasingly viewing BTC as a long-term store of value, particularly amid macroeconomic uncertainty and concerns over fiat currency debasement.On-chain data platforms, including Glassnode and CryptoQuant, have consistently shown that falling exchange balances historically precede major bull runs, as fewer coins remain available for immediate sale. 

Key Takeaways:Bitcoin spot ETFs saw $3.24 billion in net inflows last week — the second-highest weekly total on record.BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led all issuers with $1.82 billion in weekly inflows.IBIT’s total historical net inflows now stand at $62.63 billion, cementing its lead among Bitcoin ETF products.According to data from SoSoValue, reported by Wu Blockchain, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $3.24 billion last week — the second-largest inflow week in Bitcoin ETF history.The surge in capital came amid renewed optimism in the crypto market as Bitcoin traded above $124,000, supported by strong institutional demand and expectations of further monetary easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve.BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was the top-performing ETF of the week, attracting $1.82 billion in net inflows. The fund now holds a total cumulative inflow of $62.63 billion, further strengthening its dominance in the Bitcoin ETF market.Analysts note that the sharp inflows demonstrate accelerating institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a macro hedge and long-term investment asset. Combined with declining BTC exchange balances and rising on-chain activity, the ETF inflows indicate growing conviction among both retail and professional investors. 

Key Takeaways:The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has lifted its ban on Bitcoin-linked investment products.BlackRock is preparing to launch its iShares Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) in the UK.The listing is expected to occur on or after October 8, marking a major step in institutional Bitcoin access in the UK.Asset management giant BlackRock is reportedly preparing to launch a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) in the United Kingdom, following the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) decision to lift its long-standing ban on such products for professional investors.According to a report by TechFlow on October 6, the world’s largest asset manager plans to list its iShares Bitcoin ETP on the UK market on or after October 8, pending final regulatory and listing approvals.FCA Lifts Bitcoin Investment Product BanThe move follows the FCA’s reversal of its 2021 ban that prohibited investment firms from offering crypto-linked derivatives and exchange-traded products to retail investors. While the change primarily affects professional and institutional investors, it opens the door for greater participation from UK-based financial institutions.This regulatory shift signals the UK’s growing acceptance of digital assets as investable instruments, aligning it closer to markets like the United States, where Bitcoin ETFs have already attracted billions in inflows this year.BlackRock Expands Global Bitcoin ETP AccessBlackRock’s upcoming iShares Bitcoin ETP marks the firm’s latest expansion into global Bitcoin offerings, following the success of its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) in the U.S., which has become one of the most traded spot Bitcoin ETFs since its debut in January 2024.The UK launch is expected to boost institutional exposure to Bitcoin, giving investors in London’s financial hub access to regulated crypto investment vehicles for the first time.Industry analysts suggest the move could further legitimize Bitcoin within traditional finance circles, paving the way for other global asset managers to follow suit.Broader Implications for the UK Crypto MarketWith the FCA now signaling a more open stance toward digital asset products, the UK is positioning itself as a competitive hub for crypto-linked financial instruments in Europe.Experts note that this change could attract new capital inflows and stimulate demand for regulated crypto exposure among hedge funds, wealth managers, and pension firms seeking portfolio diversification.At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $123,900, near its recent all-time high of $125,000, as institutional interest continues to surge ahead of the fourth quarter.

Key TakeawaysThe S&P 500 has surged 106% in U.S. dollar terms since 2020, but collapsed 88% against Bitcoin over the same period.Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high of $125,000 this weekend, outperforming nearly every traditional asset.Buffett’s famed 90/10 investment rule — 90% in the S&P 500 and 10% in short-term Treasury bills — is again under scrutiny as digital assets outperform equities.Experts note that while comparisons are not apples-to-apples, Bitcoin’s deflationary design continues to attract long-term investors seeking protection from fiat debasement.S&P 500 Hits Record Highs — But Not Against BitcoinBillionaire investor Warren Buffett has long championed the S&P 500 index as the most reliable path to long-term wealth creation.Yet new data shows that, despite record highs in 2025, the index has dramatically underperformed Bitcoin.According to Phil Rosen, co-founder of Opening Bell Daily, the S&P 500 has gained 106% in USD terms since 2020, but when priced in BTC, it has fallen roughly 88%, effectively “collapsing” against the world’s largest cryptocurrency.The S&P 500 — which tracks 500 of America’s top public companies — has historically delivered inflation-adjusted annual returns of around 6.7%.Buffett has often pointed to this consistency as proof that broad-based equity exposure beats active stock picking over time.Bitcoin’s Rise Leaves Traditional Assets BehindWhile the S&P 500 trades near an all-time high of $6,715.79, up 14.4% year-to-date, Bitcoin has surged 32% in 2025, hitting a record $125,000 over the weekend.Based on data from OfficialData.org, a $100 investment in the S&P 500 at the start of 2020 would now be worth about $210.The same $100 invested in Bitcoin would have grown to nearly $1,474 — a gain that eclipses traditional market benchmarks by a wide margin.Why the Comparison Isn’t Entirely FairDespite Bitcoin’s explosive returns, experts caution that the comparison isn’t straightforward.The S&P 500 represents a diversified basket of blue-chip companies across multiple sectors and is designed for long-term, lower-risk compounding.Bitcoin, by contrast, is a single, highly volatile digital asset with a fixed supply of 21 million coins, often seen as a hedge against inflation and monetary debasement.Moreover, the market capitalization gap remains vast:Bitcoin: $2.47 trillionS&P 500: $56.7 trillionThat difference underscores Bitcoin’s speculative edge but also its potential for further upside if adoption continues to expand.While Warren Buffett continues to favor the S&P 500 for its stability and proven compounding power, the past five years have clearly belonged to Bitcoin.As the digital-asset market matures and institutional adoption deepens, the “Buffett portfolio” may need to be re-examined for a generation of investors seeking returns beyond the traditional 6–7% range.

Key Takeaways:Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new all-time high above $125,000 before consolidating near $124,000.AI-based forecasts show low odds for a major breakout in October.Analysts target $150,000 after a potential short-term pullback to $118,000–$121,000.Macro focus shifts to Federal Reserve commentary as the US government shutdown delays key economic data.Market sentiment remains in “greed” territory but below extreme levels, suggesting traders expect consolidation.Bitcoin Holds Near Record High as Traders Eye $150KBitcoin entered its first full week of “Uptober” trading near $123,948, following a weekend surge to a record above $125,000. The milestone capped months of consistent gains, though analysts expect the rally to pause before the next leg higher.Futures data shows the CME “gap” from the weekend has already been filled — a move trader Daan Crypto Trades called a “classic squeeze and retrace.” Others, including Crypto Tony, say bulls must now defend $123,000 to maintain momentum.“Bitcoin has reached a crucial resistance level,” said analyst Ted Pillows. “If institutions start bidding again like last week, a reclaim is possible.”Broader sentiment remains bullish, with analysts like Michaël van de Poppe and Crypto Jelle targeting $150,000 as the next major milestone. However, many expect a period of sideways trading before that goal materializes.“I don't think Bitcoin will blast through the ATH in one go,” van de Poppe noted. “Anything below $121,500 is a good re-entry zone before we move toward $150K.”Traders Expect 4% Dip Before Resuming UptrendMarket analysts expect a short-term correction, citing overextended technical indicators and the need for new support confirmation.The 50-period EMA on the four-hour chart — currently near $119,250 — is viewed as the next logical support retest.“We could see a 4h-50EMA retest — it’s overextended, and past patterns show this pullback is typical,” wrote CrypNuevo. “After that, I’m still favoring longs over shorts.”Rekt Capital added that a mild 4% dip toward $118,000 would still preserve the overall bullish structure, as long as BTC maintains higher highs and higher lows.“Bitcoin needs to prove $124K is a weakening point of rejection,” Rekt Capital said. “Any shallower dip from here strengthens that case.”AI Model Predicts Range-Bound “Uptober”Despite optimism in the market, on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant warned that October may remain largely range-bound.Its NBeats Ensemble AI model, trained on nearly 400 on-chain metrics, projects low odds of a breakout this month.“After a strong uptrend, Bitcoin has entered a re-accumulation phase between $108,000 and $123,000,” wrote analyst CryptoOnchain. “The AI model predicts continued fluctuations in the upper half of this range.”CryptoQuant concluded that BTC will likely consolidate above $120K before flipping $123K into solid support — a setup that could pave the way for a decisive breakout in November or December.Fed Commentary Takes Center Stage Amid ShutdownThe ongoing U.S. government shutdown has halted key economic releases, shifting market attention to upcoming Federal Reserve speeches.Chair Jerome Powell and Vice Chair Michelle Bowman are among officials scheduled to speak this week, with investors parsing remarks for clues on future interest rate cuts.The Fed’s next policy decision is roughly three weeks away, and without fresh labor data, traders are relying on forward-looking sentiment indicators.According to The Kobeissi Letter, markets continue to “climb the wall of worry,” with the S&P 500 near record highs after 108 consecutive days above its 50-day moving average — an unusually strong streak for risk assets.Market Sentiment: Greedy but Not ExtremeThe Crypto Fear & Greed Index has rebounded sharply from September’s lows (26/100) to 71/100, signaling “greed” but avoiding the “extreme greed” zone.The reading remains below levels seen during Bitcoin’s mid-August rally, suggesting traders are optimistic but still cautious about entering new longs.Alternative sentiment measures from Alphractal and other analytics firms similarly point to a balanced but bullish tone — one that often precedes consolidation before major continuation rallies.Patience Before the Next MoveBitcoin’s record-breaking start to October highlights robust institutional and retail demand, but both on-chain data and AI-based forecasts suggest that the next phase of the bull market may require patience.With support between $118K–$121K holding firm and macro headwinds softening, traders are watching for a decisive range breakout above $123K to confirm the next upward leg.Until then, “Uptober” may be more about building the base for $150,000 rather than reaching it this month.

Key Takeaways:The US national debt has climbed to $37.9 trillion, growing by nearly $6 billion per day — or $4.2 million per minute.The debt is projected to surpass $38 trillion within weeks and $50 trillion within a decade.Investors are turning to Bitcoin and gold as hard-asset hedges amid accelerating debt and dollar debasement concerns.Bitcoin trades around $123,874, after touching an all-time high above $125,500 over the weekend.America’s National Debt Nears $38 TrillionThe United States national debt is fast approaching $38 trillion, rising by an eye-watering $69,890 per second, according to the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee’s debt dashboard.This translates to about $6 billion per day — a figure greater than the entire GDP of over 30 countries, based on Worldometer data.At its current trajectory, the U.S. debt is expected to cross the $38 trillion threshold within 20 days, underscoring growing fiscal concerns in global markets.U.S. Representative Keith Self warned that the total could reach $50 trillion within a decade if no corrective action is taken:“Congress must act now — demand fiscal responsibility from your leaders before the gradual slide becomes a sudden collapse.”Bitcoin and Gold Become the “Debasement Trade”As U.S. debt spirals higher and inflation risks reemerge, investors are turning to Bitcoin (BTC) and gold as protection against dollar depreciation.Last week, JPMorgan described the two as part of the “debasement trade”, a strategy to hedge against long-term fiat currency erosion.Bitcoin recently hit a new all-time high of $125,506 on Saturday before consolidating around $123,874 on Monday. Gold also climbed to a record $3,920 per ounce, extending its year-long uptrend.Bitcoin’s fixed supply and decentralized monetary policy continue to attract institutional capital — including from traditional finance leaders once skeptical of crypto.BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who previously dismissed Bitcoin, said in January that BTC could eventually reach $700,000 amid persistent fiat debasement fears.Ray Dalio and Global Debt WarningsRay Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, reiterated in July that investors should allocate at least 15% of their portfolios to hard assets such as Bitcoin or gold, citing the best risk-to-return profile under current macro conditions.Dalio warned that the “debt doom loop” is not unique to the U.S. — other Western economies like the UK also face structural fiscal imbalances and weak currencies.Globally, total debt rose to $337.7 trillion by the end of Q2 2025, according to Reuters and the Institute of International Finance (IIF), driven by quantitative easing and a softening U.S. dollar.Trump Administration’s Debt-Cutting MeasuresThe Trump administration has pledged to reduce federal spending and address the deficit, even as total debt levels continue climbing.In early 2025, Tesla CEO Elon Musk briefly joined the Department of Government Efficiency, helping to identify cost-cutting opportunities reportedly saving $214 billion.President Donald Trump later signed the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” in July, a sweeping fiscal reform aimed at cutting $1.6 trillion in spending over the next decade.However, the bill’s initial implementation costs have pushed total debt past $37 trillion, with estimates suggesting a $3.4 trillion budget impact over the next 10 years.Rising Debt, Shrinking Trust — and the Bitcoin EffectWith debt levels accelerating and fiat purchasing power eroding, Bitcoin’s narrative as a hedge against fiscal mismanagement is gaining mainstream traction.The combination of record U.S. debt, a weakening dollar, and surging Bitcoin and gold prices underscores a growing investor preference for scarce, non-sovereign assets.As one market strategist put it:“Every dollar borrowed by the U.S. government strengthens the case for Bitcoin.”

Key Takeaways:Corporate treasuries accumulated 6,700 BTC ($1.2B) last week, led by Japan’s Metaplanet, which added 5,258 BTC.Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $3.24 billion in net inflows — more than double the treasury purchases — fueling Bitcoin’s latest all-time high.Analysts say ETF-driven institutional demand, shrinking exchange supply, and macro tailwinds are reinforcing Bitcoin’s bullish momentum.Bitcoin Surges to $125K as Institutional Demand Heats UpBitcoin (BTC) surged past $125,000 over the weekend before consolidating near $123,911 at the time of writing, as institutional accumulation and ETF inflows drove a new wave of demand.According to on-chain data, Bitcoin treasury companies added more than 6,702 BTC last week — worth approximately $1.2 billion. The largest buyer was Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based investment firm often dubbed “Japan’s MicroStrategy,” which acquired 5,258 BTC on Wednesday alone.However, analysts say this was not the main catalyst behind Bitcoin’s price breakout. Instead, spot Bitcoin ETFs dominated the market narrative, recording $3.24 billion in net inflows — their second-best week on record, nearly matching the all-time high of $3.38 billion in November 2024.ETFs, Not Corporates, Drove Bitcoin’s Breakout“ETF inflows were the real spark,” said Vincent Liu, CIO at Kronos Research, in a recent note. “Tight exchange supply, a weaker dollar, and macro uncertainty are reinforcing bullish momentum.”Institutional accumulation has far outpaced Bitcoin’s new supply.Miners produce roughly 900 BTC per day.Corporates buy around 1,755 BTC daily.ETFs add another 1,430 BTC daily, on average, according to River Financial.This supply-demand imbalance, combined with a weakening U.S. dollar and a prolonged period of low interest rates, is driving what many call a “perfect setup” for Bitcoin’s next leg higher.Analysts See Structural Market ShiftMatt Poblocki, General Manager for Binance Australia and New Zealand, said the latest rally underscores a shift toward blue-chip digital assets like Bitcoin.“Bitcoin reaching another all-time high this year signals the asset’s enduring strength and growing maturity,” Poblocki said.“Institutional inflows, global regulatory clarity, and ETF adoption are cementing Bitcoin’s role in the mainstream financial system.”Similarly, Will Clemente III, co-founder of Reflexivity Research, said the rally was uniquely healthy:“This move wasn’t driven by treasury companies or leveraged traders — it was driven by spot ETF demand, meaning macro funds and portfolio managers are rotating into Bitcoin.”ETF Boom Marks New Phase of Institutional AdoptionBloomberg’s Eric Balchunas described last week’s ETF activity as “wild,” noting $3.3 billion in net inflows and $24 billion year-to-date — levels that mirror early phases of ETF booms in gold and equities.Bitcoin ETFs now hold over 1.5 million BTC, worth about $188 billion, representing 7.2% of total supply, according to Bitbo.Meanwhile, corporate treasuries collectively hold 1.4 million BTC, valued at $166 billion, or 6.6% of total supply.Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, predicted in September that corporate and institutional demand would accelerate into year-end — a forecast that appears to be playing out.Shrinking Supply, Strong Macro TailwindsAnalysts agree that Bitcoin’s Q4 outlook is bullish, with the following catalysts expected to drive continued upside:ETF inflows accelerating as institutional participation broadens.Exchange reserves hitting six-year lows, reducing sell pressure.Rate cuts and fiat debasement fears boosting the appeal of hard assets.“Future Bitcoin gains will likely depend on institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and tightening supply,” said Kronos Research’s Liu. “ETF inflows and thin liquidity could make Q4 both volatile and rewarding.”

Key Takeaways:Bitcoin (BTC) surged past $125,000, setting a new all-time high as the U.S. dollar heads for its steepest annual decline in over 50 years.Gold and U.S. equities are also rallying — an unusual alignment of safe-haven and risk assets that analysts say marks a major macroeconomic turning point.Analysts cite rate cuts, inflation rebound, and U.S. government dysfunction as driving forces behind the renewed “flight to hard assets.”Bitcoin and Gold Rally as Dollar Weakens SharplyBitcoin (BTC) and gold both climbed to record highs over the weekend, with BTC last trading around $123,822 and gold nearing $3,900 per ounce, according to market data from TradingView.Analysts at The Kobeissi Letter said the move signals a “generational shift” in global market dynamics. The S&P 500 has gained over 40% in the past six months, while Bitcoin briefly exceeded $125,000 on Saturday — an unprecedented combination of rallies across both safe-haven and risk-on assets.“The correlation coefficient between gold and the S&P 500 reached a record 0.91 in 2024,” The Kobeissi Letter noted.“As inflation rebounds and the labor market weakens, the Federal Reserve is cutting rates. The USD is now on track for its worst year since 1973, down over 10% year-to-date.”Since 2000, the U.S. dollar has lost roughly 40% of its purchasing power, according to historical data from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — a long-term erosion now accelerating under renewed monetary easing.Analysts: Macro Factors Are Driving Bitcoin’s BreakoutAnalysts agree that Bitcoin’s surge is rooted in macroeconomic shifts rather than short-term speculation.According to Fabian Dori, Chief Investment Officer at Sygnum Bank, Bitcoin’s breakout reflects “rising mistrust in traditional monetary systems” following the U.S. government shutdown and persistent rate-cut expectations.“Political dysfunction and a weakening dollar are amplifying Bitcoin’s store-of-value appeal,” Dori told Cointelegraph. “The narrative of Bitcoin as a hedge against policy-driven debasement has never been stronger.”The U.S. government shutdown has halted operations at key regulatory agencies, delaying ETF reviews and macroeconomic data releases. Combined with Fed rate cuts and soaring inflation expectations, these conditions have accelerated capital rotation into scarce, decentralized assets like Bitcoin and gold.The “Debasement Trade” in Full SwingThe synchronized rise of Bitcoin, gold, and equities underscores a powerful global move into assets that protect against currency debasement — sometimes referred to as the “sound money trade.”Institutional demand is surging, led by record inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, while gold’s year-to-date performance has approached 50%, according to Bloomberg and CoinGlass data.“There is a widespread rush into assets happening right now,” Kobeissi added. “Markets are pricing in a new monetary era — one defined by debasement, negative real yields, and the repricing of hard assets.”Bitcoin May Extend Gains as Monetary Easing DeepensWith the dollar weakening, inflation rising, and institutions shifting into digital and physical hard assets, Bitcoin could be poised for further upside in Q4 2025.If BTC breaks decisively above $126,500, analysts say the move could open the path toward the $150,000–$180,000 range before the end of the current cycle.For now, Bitcoin trades just below its record at around $123,800, consolidating amid strong inflows and tightening exchange supply — a sign that long-term holders may once again be accumulating.
