Ethereum, XRP and Solana fell more sharply than Bitcoin on the day, cutting total crypto market cap 2.5% to $2.8 trillion. Ethereum dropped 5.5% to $289 billion, XRP fell 5.1% to $82.4 billion, Solana slipped 3.8% to $60.6 billion, and Bitcoin lost 3.1% to $1.6 trillion. Experts cite macro pressure, including 3.7% annual consumer inflation and a 28% chance of an October rate hike on the Myriad prediction market. Derive.xyz's Nick Forster said hedging on his platform doubled as whales pulled back from spring bets, while Bitwise's Max Shannon noted $8 billion less altcoin futures open interest since early October as traders took profits. CoinShares' Luke Nolan said altcoins are most sensitive to tighter liquidity and a strong dollar, and a Bitcoin move above 80k could spark a sharp altcoin rebound.

- 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.
- BREAKING: JPMorgan Expands JPM Coin Deposit Token to Ethereum Network
JPMorgan is bringing its USD-denominated deposit token, JPM Coin (JPMD), to the Ethereum mainnet for institutional clients, extending its push into blockchain payments. The token, which represents US dollar deposits at the bank, was first launched last year on Base and lets clients send and receive money in real time, 24/7. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, described the move as further convergence between Wall Street and crypto, with banks moving onto public chains and crypto firms partnering with traditional institutions. JPMorgan already has tokenized money market funds MONY and JLTXX on Ethereum, and it now adds a cash leg. Ether traded near $2,434 after a rebound, with trading volume up 42% over 24 hours.
- JPMorgan takes JPM Coin to Ethereum for institutional clients: Report
JPMorgan is reportedly expanding its JPM Coin deposit token to Ethereum, allowing eligible institutional clients to make payments and settle tokenized asset transactions, Bloomberg reported on Monday. JPM Coin represents US dollar deposits held at JPMorgan and lets clients transfer funds within seconds, around the clock. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, said crypto companies could use the token for blockchain payments, while financial institutions could use it to settle trades and post collateral. JPMorgan chose Ethereum for its liquidity and existing client use, and although the tokens are issued on public networks, JPM Coin remains restricted to approved institutional participants. The move follows the November 2025 rollout on Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network built by Coinbase, and a plan to bring JPM Coin to the Canton Network announced in January.
- 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.

- Duong Son Ba Arrested, Hai Phong Thermal Power Loses Lawsuit and Must Pay VND 115 Billion to Partner
Hai Phong Thermal Power (HND) disclosed an appellate ruling in a coal supply dispute with Dan Ka Mineral, under which the court accepted the plaintiff's appeal and ordered the company to pay nearly VND 115 billion, including a coal price difference of over VND 80.15 billion and interest of over VND 34.65 billion. The dispute stems from a 2021 contract, with disagreement over price adjustments after global coal prices rose sharply in 2022. Duong Son Ba, the company's general director, was arrested on 21 May 2026 over alleged forgery of documents of an agency or organisation, and the board dismissed him from the post on 13 October, with no successor yet announced. In the first half of 2026, the company reported net revenue of nearly VND 6,081 billion, up 8%, and after-tax profit of over VND 508 billion, up nearly 25%.
- Iran threatens to use the 'father of all missiles' to strike adversaries' energy facilities
Major General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, senior adviser to the IRGC commander, said at a rally in Sari on October 18 that Iran has prepared the most advanced missiles and will respond to any aggression. He warned that energy infrastructure and investments belonging to powers Tehran deems aggressive in the region could fall within Iranian missile range. His remarks answered US President Donald Trump's threat to use the GBU-43/B MOAB, often called the 'mother of all bombs' and weighing about 14 tons, against Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. Naqdi said Iran also possesses these bombs, having seized some that failed to detonate in the 12-day war, and called Trump's impatience a 'public admission of defeat'.
- Strategy on verge of golden cross, just weeks after bitcoin flashed same bullish signal
Strategy (MSTR) is about to form a golden cross, when its 50-day average rises above its 200-day average, possibly as early as Monday, just weeks after bitcoin showed the same bullish signal. The company holds $69.81 billion in bitcoin, and its stock has had two earlier golden crosses followed by big rallies: from $15.57 in September 2020 to $127.29 by February 2021, a 717% gain, and from $25.29 on March 2, 2023 to a peak of $473.83 in November 2024, up 1,774%. The article stresses the signal is unreliable, though: since 1999 MSTR has had 19 golden crosses, and only 10 were followed by a higher price 12 months later, a 50% hit rate, with a median 12-month return of just 3.3%. The two worst cases, in 2001 and 2007, were followed by a 61% loss.
- Director of the HCMC Institute of Economics, Natural Resources and Environment: Four major corporations have raised plans to invest in Vietnam, but pulled back when asked about power capacity
At a seminar co-organized by Tien Phong newspaper and the HCMC Department of Construction on October 16, TS. Phạm Viết Thuận said the city should treat infrastructure as an integrated system rather than focusing only on transport. He argued that 11 main and 13 secondary infrastructure categories, including power, water drainage, industrial zones and logistics, need to be synchronized for the city to develop its economy. To address flooding, he proposed surveying 159 flood-prone points and building ecological lakes at major spots. He also noted that four large corporations had considered investing in Vietnam but withdrew when asked about grid power capacity. Department director Trần Quang Lâm said capital mobilization and land policy need further study, while traffic congestion, flooding and pollution remain the city’s top priorities.
- Live updates: Bitcoin tags $83,000 and slips back as chip stocks lead a rebound
Bitcoin climbed from an overnight low near $80,700 to just above $83,000 early Monday, then slipped back to about $82,400 as sellers stepped in, and was up 0.3% over 24 hours. The bounce followed tech stocks, with Nasdaq 100 futures up 1.1%, snapping a weeklong 5.5% selloff, and an ETF tracking chipmakers jumping 3%. WTI crude recovered to $98.55 after touching $96.72, as the U.S. warned citizens across 12 Middle East locations of possible flight cancellations and airspace closures, raising fears of fresh strikes on Iran and disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 fell 0.8% after protests in France. Bitcoin would need to move through $84,000, its ceiling on October 13 and 14, to signal that the tech rebound is lifting it too.
- Baystreet . ca - When Might October Nasdaq Correction End ?
The Nasdaq Composite (QQQ ETF) is 6.96% below its 52-week high after falling 5.52% last week, close to the 10% threshold for a technical correction. The article says high oil prices, sustained by Iran's control of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, keep September CPI and PPI rising, and that Iran wants higher oil prices to hurt the Republican Party before the midterm elections, so the correction in beaten-down stocks may continue. CoreWeave (CRWV) lost 25.21% last week, closing just 3% above its yearly low, while bears holding a 17% short float bet its $50 billion debt is unsustainable. Nebius (NBIS) fell 25% and Twilio (TWLO) dropped 15.6%, while Autodesk (ADSK), Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) drew buying. The article suggests volatility may ease after the midterms.
