Fed Decision, GDP Data & $12B Options Expiry: Big Week Ahead for Crypto!
Three major events are coming, and Bitcoin is already struggling below $80,000.
The crypto market is heading into a volatile week, with the Fed's interest rate decision on October 28, followed by key US economic reports on October 29.
Here's why traders are watching closely:

The amount of $BTC on spot exchanges has started to rise.
This indicates that crypto investors are sending their bitcoins to exchanges either to sell or to engage in other activities on exchanges.

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has filed to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, reporting $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, compared with $1.16 billion a year earlier. Its potential valuation could approach $2 trillion, although the final offering price remains undetermined.
The company also reported an $80.7 billion net loss, largely driven by noncash accounting adjustments. Beneath that headline, Anthropic's rapid revenue growth and positive operating cash flow demonstrate substantial commercial demand, while enormous computing commitments raise questions about lon

Bitcoin is becoming less volatile than people think.
According to Grayscale, $BTC 's annualized realized volatility fell to 43%, below its 10-year average of 64% and the 81% recorded five years ago.
It was also less volatile than Oracle, Coinbase, Honeywell, and SanDisk, ranking below roughly 19% of S&P 500 stocks in volatility.
Bitcoin still carries risk, but the data challenges the idea that every major stock is automatically more stable than BTC.

What a day and moment it is for Ripple/XRP. The final approval from the OCC for Ripple's National Trust Bank.
This is a great and positive milestone for regulatory approval for XRP/Ripple. The price is up today, but I would expect that, in time, the price will climb even more.
The market cap is sitting at 83 billion right now. Look for it to grow even more. The trading volume is at 1.5 billion, but that too will grow as more positive volume comes through the system now. Becoming a US national trust bank is only the beginning for Ripple and $XRP

$SOL continues to show strong network activity, busy trading platforms, and growing application revenue. Yet SOL is still trading below the $150 level.
Here's what I'm watching
• Strong Ecosystem: Solana continues to support DeFi, payments, meme coins, and other blockchain applications
• Alpenglow Upgrade: Its focus on faster transaction finality could improve the network experience
• Stablecoin Growth: Rising stablecoin activity could support further adoption
• Key Challenge: Weak market liquidity may slow SOL's recovery, even with strong fundamentals
The big question is whether fresh capital

8.24 million $XRP Ledger addresses, but does that mean real adoption?
According to Santiment data, XRPL added 4,772 addresses in a single day, reaching a record 8.24 million non-empty addresses.
It's encouraging, but more addresses don't automatically mean more users or stronger buying pressure. One person can control multiple wallets, and exchanges can hold XRP for many customers.
The real signal to watch is whether address growth translates into sustained transactions, meaningful network usage, and stronger price action.

BITCOIN'S INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING GAME IS EVOLVING
According to CoinDesk, preferred stock offerings have financed purchases of 135,979 $BTC since 2025 through October 5, per Fidelity Digital Assets.
-> Strategy and Strive are leveraging preferred shares to expand their Bitcoin treasuries.

Can corporate Bitcoin accumulation endure if financing conditions deteriorate?
Institutional demand remains s

CoinDCX called breach reports a "false alarm." Days later, it confirmed a $16M loss
The crypto exchange revealed that $16 million had disappeared from retired wallets that were no longer in active use. The admission came just days after its CEO dismissed reports of a security breach.
CoinDCX hasn't explained how the wallets were accessed, when the incident happened, or whether customer funds were affected. For crypto investors, including those holding $BTC , it's another reminder that exchange security and transparency matter

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $442M in net inflows last week, ending a two-week outflow streak.

₿ $BTC retreated toward $80,000.
Despite the weekly rebound, October’s BTC ETF flows remain negative at roughly $314M. Macro Insights#

Tom Lee Sees Ethereum Above $10,000 Within 12 Months
Ethereum could climb well beyond $10,000 as treasury companies continue buying more $ETH , according to BitMine chairman Tom Lee!
Lee says these companies already control around 7% of Ethereum's supply and expects that share to reach 15% during this bull cycle.
Here's why he thinks ETH could move higher:
• Growing Demand: Treasury firms are buying and holding ETH, potentially reducing the amount available on the market.
• BitMine's Holdings: Lee says BitMine now owns over 6 million ETH, close to 5% of the total supply, after 15 months of buyi
