A Bitcoin wallet dormant since 2013 moved all 411.45 of its BTC, now worth about $34 million, to a new address on Sunday. The owner bought most of the coins when they were worth about $54,000 and held through major market swings as the value rose more than 600-fold. Blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence shows the funds have not gone to an exchange, and the move to a modern SegWit address suggests a security upgrade rather than an imminent sale. Several other long-dormant wallets have also woken up this month, but experts note that most of the coins moved to new private wallets.

- Crypto vault deposits top $10 billion as lending risks draw regulatory scrutiny
Deposits into crypto lending vaults have risen from $4 billion at the start of last year to more than $10 billion, according to the Financial Times. Each vault is run by a 'curator' who selects lending strategies through smart contracts on DeFi platforms, sets risk limits and collects fees, with typical returns of 3% to 10% and riskier strategies reaching 20% or more. Risks include illiquid or hard-to-sell collateral, automatic liquidations, hacks and coding errors, while investors may focus on headline yields. Fintechs, digital asset treasury firms and hedge funds are among the main depositors, and Bitcoin lender Two Prime launched a vault on Pareto targeting 1.5% to 2% yields, with a minimum deposit of 5 WBTC and about $10 million of its own capital absorbing initial losses. U.S. and European regulators are examining whether existing rules should apply, and the SEC has questioned vaults that hold securities.
- CME’s bitcoin cash, uniswap futures, global PMIs: Crypto Week Ahead
CME Group plans to launch standard and micro bitcoin cash and uniswap (UNI) futures on Monday, Oct. 19, pending regulatory review. CoinShares' bitcoin and ether ETF is set to halt trading before the market opens on Oct. 21 as the fund liquidates. Investors will watch the flash October PMIs due Friday, following last week's U.S. inflation reports, while Tesla and CME report earnings, though most of their business is not directly tied to crypto. Several governance votes are underway, including Arbitrum DAO's proposal to transfer 1,700 ETH to its ADG and Treasury strategies (voting ends Oct. 22) and ENS DAO's ENSv2 mainnet activation (voting ends Oct. 25).
- Bitcoin, Ether ETFs shed $549M as October ETH outflows near $1B
According to SoSoValue data, US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs recorded net outflows of $549 million last week, with Bitcoin ETFs losing $229 million and Ether funds $320 million. It was a second straight weekly outflow for Bitcoin ETFs and a third for Ether funds, though the pace slowed from the previous week's $1.22 billion. Spot Ether ETFs have seen roughly $955 million in net outflows in October so far, more than in any other month this year. Ether fell 5% over seven days to about $2,433 and Bitcoin dipped 1.3% to $82,783, per CoinGecko. Even so, both fund groups remain positive for 2026 year-to-date, with Bitcoin ETFs at about $259 million and Ether ETFs at about $610 million in net inflows.
- Financial 'whales' are pouring money back into Bitcoin
BlackRock's crypto funds drew a net $7.9 billion of inflows in Q3, reversing $2.2 billion of outflows in the first half of 2026. Its digital asset holdings rose 63% to $79.6 billion by end-September from $48.8 billion at end-June, with $22.9 billion of the $30.8 billion gain coming from price increases. Still, assets remain 23% below the nearly $104 billion a year earlier, as market value losses of $30.6 billion over 12 months outweighed $6.3 billion of net inflows. CoinShares data show institutions held about 264,000 BTC through US spot bitcoin ETFs at end-Q2, up 1.3% from the prior quarter. The article notes that ETF ownership does not always signal long-term bets, as some positions may serve hedging or client asset management.
- Deutsche Bank targets Asia crypto custody expansion in 2027 as German launch nears
Deutsche Bank plans to extend its crypto custody service to Asia in 2027, with a German launch expected within weeks but still subject to regulatory approval. The initial offering will support bitcoin, ether and stablecoins USDC, EURC and EURAU, with the bank managing clients' wallets and private keys so corporate and institutional clients can hold and transfer crypto. The bank also plans stablecoin conversion, tokenized deposits and digital bond issuance services, as part of a target of roughly 8% compound annual revenue growth in its corporate bank from 2025 to 2028. It received BaFin authorization under MiCA on October 12 and has worked with Bitpanda and Taurus, joining rivals such as Standard Chartered and BBVA in offering crypto custody.
- Apple Keeps Hitting Record Highs. Bitcoin Hasn’t Set One All Year. Which Is the Better Buy?
Apple's stock keeps setting records, closing at $343 and up 26.7% for the year, after crossing a $5 trillion market value. Bitcoin has not set a new high in 2026; it trades around $81,977, 35% below its $126,080 peak and down 6.8% year to date. The article notes Apple returns cash through dividends and buybacks (a 4% dividend increase and an additional $100 billion for buybacks), whereas Bitcoin generates no earnings or dividends and its volatility could hurt retirees who may have to sell to cover expenses. It also flags Apple's risks, including a P/E of about 45 times earnings and rising memory costs, but notes Apple has beaten EPS estimates for nine consecutive quarters and iPhone revenue rose 22%. The author concludes Apple is the better choice for retirement funds, and says this view could shift if Apple misses its 9% to 11% revenue guidance while Bitcoin climbs back above $126,080.

- JPMorgan's JPM Coin, representing dollar deposits, is coming to Ethereum: Bloomberg
JPMorgan will make JPM Coin, a token representing its dollar deposits, available to institutional clients on Ethereum, according to Bloomberg. The bank says Ethereum's liquidity makes it attractive to crypto companies seeking blockchain payments and to financial firms settling trades or backing tokenized assets. The move extends JPMorgan's blockchain work beyond Base and its private Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion daily. The bank did not say when the token will go live on Ethereum. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is among US banks planning a shared tokenized deposit network, but it was not on Swift's list of 17 banks preparing live transactions on its blockchain ledger in July.
- Cerrado Gold Reports 21% Year-Over-Year Increase in Q3 2026 Production Results at Minera Don Nicolas
Cerrado Gold reported Q3 2026 production of 16,685 GEO at the Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) mine in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, up 21% from 13,832 GEO in Q3 2025. Year-to-date output reached 44,942 GEO, up 23% from 36,432 GEO in the comparable 2025 period. Heap leach output held steady at 9,649 GEO, while CIL output rose to 7,036 GEO as higher-grade Calandrias material, generally above 2.5 g/t gold, was routed to the Martinetas mill. Laboratory tests on selected material showed gold recoveries of up to 95%, versus about 60% expected from heap leaching, and the company now expects full-year 2026 production at the upper end of its 50,000 to 60,000 GEO guidance while targeting a new PEA by late Q1 2027.
- Is Visa Stock Still a Buy After Gaining 14% This Year?
Visa shares hit an all-time high of $401, up about 12% over the past two weeks from $359 at the end of September and up 14% year to date. Key catalysts include approval from the People's Bank of China to set up a bankcard clearing institution in China and the move of Visa Direct's stablecoin to commercial deployment on Oct. 15. Baird and BMO Capital both raised their price targets. Visa reports fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Oct. 27 and has raised its dividend every year since 2009, last year by 14% to $0.67 per share. The author still considers the stock a buy ahead of earnings, citing a forward P/E of 24.

- This Table Explains Exactly Why Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway Have Struggled to Find Stocks to Buy and Where You Can Find Great Value Stocks Right Now
Greg Abel ended Berkshire Hathaway's 14-quarter streak last quarter by buying more stocks for the marketable equity portfolio than he sold. Warren Buffett had previously trimmed large positions, leaving Abel with a record $369 billion in cash. The article attributes the difficulty in finding opportunities to valuations: large-cap stocks trade at a premium of 10% to 19% to their historical levels, and value stocks are the most overvalued relative to their historic range. In contrast, small- and mid-cap value stocks trade below historical valuations, a segment that large institutions often overlook while individual investors can invest more freely. The article mentions two value ETFs, AVUV and DFAT, which both add profitability screens to avoid value traps.
