Bitcoin rose more than 40% in the third quarter and has drawn renewed attention from top investors, though it remains down 37% from its all-time high of $126,000 reached in October 2025. The author cites a JPMorgan Asset Management forecast of 10% annualized gains for Bitcoin over the next decade, versus 7.5% for stocks, 6% for bonds and 5.5% for gold. He argues Bitcoin's lack of correlation with major asset classes can help diversify portfolios during stock downturns, and that institutional adoption has grown since 2021 through ETFs, treasury companies and corporate holdings, with sovereign governments a possible next source of demand. Even if Bitcoin's price gains are less dramatic, he says he is comfortable with it becoming a more mainstream asset, and that he is focused on buying it right now.

- 4M Bitcoin Bought Above $85K Could Cap Recovery: Glassnode
Glassnode says about 4 million BTC held by long-term holders were bought between $85,000 and $118,000, mostly in 2025, while Bitcoin trades near $81,400. The average price U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs paid is $81,500 according to Glassnode, leaving ETF holders near break-even. Analysts say the $84,000–$85,000 band has turned prices back several times, and a rally toward that level could prompt long-term holders to sell to break even. The Fed held rates at 3.75% to 4.00% in a 10-2 vote, while the 10-year Treasury yield sat just under 5%. ETF inflows picked up to about $424 million from Monday to Wednesday, but Tim Sun of HashKey argues the core issue is insufficient new buying rather than panic selling.

- Crypto Market Today, Oct. 28: Bitcoin and Altcoins Gain as Fed Decision Clears the Way for Big Tech Earnings
As of early evening on Oct. 28, Bitcoin rose 0.52% to $81,220.35, Ethereum rose 0.68% to $2,363.24 and Solana rose 1.33% to $102.60. The Federal Reserve held its rate at 3.75% to 4% as expected, but said inflation remains elevated and future hikes remain possible. Investors are now focused on earnings from Alphabet, Microsoft and ServiceNow after Wednesday's close, with Amazon and Intel reporting Thursday; disappointing results could weigh on market sentiment. Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs traded firmer, with IBIT up 0.96%, FBTC up 1.01% and ETHA up 1.07%, but the article says sustained ETF inflows would be needed to show the market is stabilizing.
- Wall Street's Fast Money Fled Bitcoin ETFs, Sovereign Funds Stepped In
Galaxy Research says a handful of hedge funds and banks drove almost all institutional selling of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, while wealth platforms and sovereign funds bought. Holdings reported by institutions in 13F filings fell 14%, from 355,000 BTC at the end of September 2025 to 307,000 BTC by June 2026. Nine firms, including Millennium Management, Goldman Sachs and Tudor Investment, cut 68,000 BTC, roughly $5.4 billion at current prices, while Morgan Stanley's wealth management arm, Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Investment Council were among the buyers. Galaxy says the sellers were mainly running cash-and-carry trades rather than betting on Bitcoin, as the front-month futures basis averaged 4.8% annualized in the 30 days to Oct. 21, just 0.6 points above Treasury bills, down from 7.9% before the all-time high. Since the June low, the funds have added 87,000 BTC, which Galaxy calls directional buying.
- Morning Minute: Robinhood Misses, But Crypto Beats and Robinhood Chain Soars
Robinhood posted record revenue of $1.42 billion and EPS of $0.51, both slightly below expectations, while crypto revenue of $120 million beat forecasts, rising 20% from the prior quarter though still 55% below a year earlier. Trading volume reached $50 billion, while event contracts revenue rose to $173 million on a record 16.4 billion contracts traded. Robinhood Chain, launched July 1, generated more 30-day rolling fees than Ethereum or Base by late August, prompting management to say it will ramp up investment, and leading tokens in its ecosystem rose 20-50%. Across the market, major cryptocurrencies gained 2-4% ahead of the FOMC meeting with BTC at $81.3k, while bitcoin ETFs drew $176 million in net inflows.
- More than half of circulating Bitcoin has no identified owner
According to Galaxy's latest figures, about 11.1 million BTC, or 55% of total supply, has no identified owner, which may include self-custodied holdings or unidentified institutions. Galaxy's research head Alex Thorn said this suggests self-custody remains common, while Xapo Bank argued the unidentified wallets reflect individual investors who have been in the market for over a decade. Some of these coins may be permanently lost, while others could belong to funds, companies and OTC desks that have not been identified. The remaining 45% of supply has been attributed, including exchanges, BlackRock-led ETFs and the US government. The largest identified holder is Satoshi Nakamoto, with over 1.1 million BTC, estimated at nearly $91 billion at current market price.

- Anthropic's path to the Nasdaq just got a lot bumpier
Anthropic unveiled its IPO prospectus just as Microsoft, Google and Amazon reported quarterly results that deepened concerns over AI spending. The prospectus showed an $80 billion net loss for the first half of the year, hundreds of billions of dollars in compute commitments and more than 90 pages of risk factors. All three hyperscalers issued capex figures or forecasts below analysts' estimates, with Microsoft cutting its forecast to $170 billion from $175 billion. Free cash flow was negative $42.4 billion for Amazon over the trailing 12 months and negative $9.1 billion for Google, while Microsoft plans to raise $25 billion in bonds. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.9% on Friday, its first three-week losing streak since March.
- Social Security's Trump Bump-Led 2027 COLA Is Doing Something That Hasn't Been Witnessed This Century
The Social Security Administration announced a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2027 on Oct. 14, tying for the fifth-largest annual raise since 1993. Inflation hit a three-year high of 4.2% in May, which the article attributes largely to two policies of President Trump: tariffs and the Iran war, which led Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz to most commercial vessels and sent gas and diesel prices sharply higher. Citing a New York Fed study, the article says tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation by February 2026. The 2027 raise would also be the sixth consecutive year that benefits rise at least 2.5%, a streak last seen between 1988 and 1997.

- Wall Street Thinks Archer Aviation Stock Is a Buy. Here's Why I Don't
Archer Aviation (ACHR) is a frontrunner in eVTOL air taxis, and Morgan Stanley analysts see a potential multi-trillion-dollar market. Several analysts have set double-digit price targets, such as Amit Dayal's $18 against today's $4.25 share price, while Cathie Wood's Ark Invest recently bought a stake worth about $4.5 million. The author, an Archer investor who expects the stock to grow substantially over the next decade, argues the $18 target is overly optimistic and could lead investors to expect quick, enormous returns. A 2021 Morgan Stanley report warned that widespread adoption might not come until 2040, so Archer's biggest opportunity could take decades to materialize. The author sees the stock as a speculative position worth holding only by investors who can stay invested for a very long time.
- Good News on Electricity Prices and Fuel Excise Tax
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Văn Thắng said the Government has directed Vietnam Electricity (EVN) to cut costs in order to reduce retail electricity prices by about 2% until 31 March 2027. From November to year-end, about 4,000 billion VND is planned for cutting the special consumption tax on petrol from 7% to 0%, on top of about 64,000 billion VND in fuel tax and fee reductions since the start of the year. GDP grew about 9.01% in the first nine months despite oil prices above USD 110 per barrel and additional US tariffs; reaching the 10% annual target requires 12.5% growth in Q4. Average CPI rose 4.52% in the first nine months, and the petrol tax cut and electricity price reduction are expected to create about 0.07 percentage points of room to keep inflation within the National Assembly's 4.5% target. As of 29 October, public investment disbursement exceeded 720,000 billion VND, above 75% of plan; full disbursement is expected to add about 2.5 percentage points to Q4 growth.
- Addressing Gaps in Business Travel Cost Control for Vietnamese Companies
According to GBTA, global business travel spending is forecast to reach 1.71 trillion USD in 2026, up 7.2%, while trip volume grows only 1.3%, and is expected to pass 2 trillion USD by 2030. In Vietnam, business travel spending is forecast to reach 6.0 billion USD in 2026, up 13.2%, the fastest growth in Southeast Asia, with the top five economic sectors accounting for 50.2% of the total. A GBTA survey found that 46% of employees use personal cards to earn better rewards, 40% said the reimbursement process takes too long, and 27% waited a long time to receive a corporate card after approval. At a forum in Ho Chi Minh City organized by Visa, speakers argued that companies should shift from post-trip audits to controlling spending at the point of decision and payment, by linking payment tools, policies and spending data.
