The SEC approved an exchange listing for Volatility Shares' 3x Bitcoin and 3x Ether ETFs, which aim to deliver triple the daily moves of the two coins, but neither can trade yet because a required SEC registration step has not been scheduled. Because these funds reset exposure daily, a roughly 10% gain followed by a 9.1% drop back to the starting price leaves a spot holder at breakeven but a leveraged ETF shareholder down about 5.5%. Volatility Shares' 2x Bitcoin ETF lost 61.9% over the 12 months ending Oct. 21, while Bitcoin fell 25.1%. The prospectus lists a 1.85% annual management fee for the Bitcoin fund and estimates the Bitcoin and Ether funds must earn 1.98% and 2.78% a year to break even. The author argues these products are mainly for hedge funds and institutional investors, while holding Bitcoin and Ethereum directly or through spot ETFs costs far less and avoids leverage-induced liquidation risk.

- Bitcoin Slips Below $80K As Peter Schiff Warns Of 'Very Long Weekend' For BTC Investors — Mike McGlone Says 'Don't Fight The Fed'
Bitcoin edged lower to about $80,166, down 0.3% over 24 hours after briefly dipping to the $79,000 range. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded total net outflows of $773.5 million on Thursday and Friday, according to Farside Investors data. Peter Schiff said BTC was finally breaking down, with the next stop likely at $75,000, and warned that if that level fails, ETF investors could not sell until Monday because spot ETFs trade only when U.S. stock markets are open. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits remained 'bearish,' and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index stood at 40, in 'Fear' territory. Bloomberg Intelligence's Mike McGlone said 'Don't fight the Fed' may be the lesson of 4Q for high-beta, correlated assets such as Bitcoin, gold and copper, and recalled his earlier call for Bitcoin to slide toward $10,000.
- Is Solana a Good Investment After a 65% Drop From Its Record High?
Solana (SOL) trades 65.4% below its record high of $293 and around $101, so it would need about a 189% gain to return to that peak. At $293, its market cap would need to be about $173 billion, compared with roughly $59.8 billion now, and ongoing staking rewards keep increasing supply. Alpenglow reduced transaction finality from around 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, and J.P. Morgan Asset Management launched two funds on Solana, yet Solana ETFs saw $17.3 million in net outflows between October 19 and 22. SOL fell 47.2% over the past year, versus a 27.4% drop in Bitcoin, and the article considers a return to $293 before the end of 2027 unlikely. Conditions cited for improvement include Solana ETFs shifting from outflows to consistent inflows.
- Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $636 Million as October Turns Red Again
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shed a net $635.6 million on Thursday, wiping out nearly 60% of the roughly $1.07 billion inflow from the previous three sessions. That pushed October's net flows back into a loss of about $176 million, after the funds had reached roughly $460 million in inflows on Wednesday. Ethereum ETFs lost $110.6 million, lifting their October outflows to about $1.18 billion, while Solana ETFs shed $8.9 million. Prices barely moved, with Bitcoin near $81,460, while traders on Myriad, a prediction market, cut the odds of Bitcoin topping $87,500 this month to 17%.
- Bitcoin steadies near $81,700 as altcoins rebound, pepe climbs 13%
Bitcoin rose 0.5% to around $81,700 since midnight UTC, recovering from a low near $81,000, while altcoins moved faster: the CoinDesk 80 gained 1.4%, memecoins climbed 2.9% and pepe jumped 13%. The rebound followed Thursday's tech-led selloff, when the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% in its steepest decline since June. Traders are watching the Fed's Oct. 27-28 meeting, with Brent crude near $113 keeping inflation worries alive, after U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs lost $635 million on Thursday following more than $1 billion of inflows in the first three days of the week. In derivatives, crypto futures volume fell 19% and liquidations dropped 23% over 24 hours.
- Bitcoin ETFs bleed $635M as October slides back into the red
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $635 million in net outflows on Thursday, ending a three-day inflow streak that had drawn $1.08 billion and pushing October's net flows to $175 million in outflows, according to SoSoValue data. It was the largest single-day outflow since June 25, when Bitcoin ETFs lost $696 million. Weekly net inflows still totaled $443 million after two consecutive weeks of outflows. Bitcoin was trading at about $81,783, down roughly 1% over 24 hours according to CoinGecko. Most altcoin ETFs also saw negative flows: Ether ETFs lost about $111 million, while XRP ETFs attracted about $3.6 million.
- This Top Investment Strategist Thinks a Bitcoin Supercycle Is Coming Soon. Here's Why He's Wrong.
The article argues a Bitcoin “supercycle” probably isn't coming soon and that past supercycle calls have a poor record. James Thorne, chief market strategist at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, said in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine on Oct. 15 that he expects a run “for the ages” and that the four-year cycle is no longer relevant. He cites the Genius Act stablecoin law, growing asset tokenization, and spot Bitcoin ETFs that had drawn $57.8 billion in cumulative net inflows as of Oct. 20. The article counters that “supercycle” has no fixed definition and that such predictions often appear early in bull markets and have failed before, and it outlines an approach of accumulating Bitcoin gradually in small amounts, without overweighting it in the portfolio, and holding for at least five years.

- History Shows 1 Powerful Fact That Makes Me Bullish on VTI
The article argues that long-term investors can look past daily headlines, since the broader U.S. stock market has tended to grow over time, using the Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) as an example. The fund has been available since May 2001 and delivered average annual returns of 9.44% over 25 years and about 12.6% annualized over the past five years, including through the 2008 financial crisis and the dot-com bear market. VTI holds 3,519 stocks across small-, mid- and large-caps, though it has underperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 over the past 10 years. The illustrative math shows a one-time $1,000 investment in 2001 growing to about $9,537, while $300 monthly would have reached about $325,555 and $500 monthly $542,592 after 25 years. The author stresses that past returns do not guarantee future results.
- Expert view: VN-Index has formed a short-term bottom, but this risk needs attention
VN-Index fell sharply in the first two sessions of the 19-23/10 week, at one point dropping to the 1,670-point area, before rebounding on broader buying late in the week to finish up 68.24 points (4%) at 1,774.15. Foreign investors net bought in 2 mid-week sessions but were still net sellers of about VND 969 billion over the five sessions. Mr. Bui Van Huy, CEO of FIDT, believes the market has likely formed a short-term bottom, citing the State Bank's request that banks cut deposit rates for terms of 6 months or longer by at least 0.5% per year and lower lending rates for priority sectors by 1.5-2% per year, along with a P/E excluding Vingroup of below or around 10 times. He cautions, however, that the bottom is not yet sustainable given risks from the Fed, global inflation and domestic inflation (September CPI up more than 5% year on year). He suggests investors consider buying in stages on market pullbacks, limit margin use and watch infrastructure and public investment groups.
- Berkshire Hathaway Stock Rose 10 Days in a Row in October for the First Time Since 2018. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Class B shares of Berkshire Hathaway closed higher for 10 consecutive sessions from Oct. 1 through Oct. 14, rising from about $498 to $526, before the streak ended on Oct. 15. The stock later topped $547, surpassing the record close of $539.89 set in May 2025. Since 1998, such 10-day winning runs have occurred six other times, and in four of those six cases the shares were higher 12 months later. Under CEO Greg Abel, Berkshire has added to its Alphabet and Delta Air Lines positions and bought back about $4.4 billion of its own stock. The author notes the streak does not guarantee returns over the next 12 months, particularly with shares at a record high, but remains bullish on the company's long-term prospects.
- RBI does not target any price or level for rupee, says Governor Sanjay Malhotra
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the central bank does not target any price or level for the rupee, but will keep taking necessary measures to curb speculation and excessive volatility and ensure orderly conditions in the forex market. Speaking at the NDTV World Summit 2026 in New Delhi, he said geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, the West Asia conflict and trade uncertainty have made the work of central banks more challenging. He noted that global inflation is elevated and commodity prices are higher, while global growth is lower, at 3.1% this year according to the IMF. He stressed that price stability remains the primary responsibility of central banks, and that inflation in India has risen steadily, largely due to supply-side pressures, to 5.5%. The RBI has raised its policy repo rate by 25 basis points, and its top goal is to rein in inflation while ensuring financial stability.
- Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) Stock Price Up 1.7% – Here's Why
Intel shares rose 1.7% on Friday, trading as high as $87.87 and last at $86.96, versus a prior close of $85.49. Mid-day volume was 71,560,092 shares, down 38% from the average of 115,776,344. Supportive news included an FCC waiver allowing Intel to keep using foreign-made robotic devices and Wedbush's view that its Arizona chip plant could provide a potential boost. Investors are positioning ahead of the October 29 quarterly report, where strong server-CPU demand and recent price increases are cited as possible drivers, while Erste Group raised its fiscal 2027 EPS forecast to $1.59 from $1.56, above the consensus of $1.05. Risks include a third-quarter adjusted EPS outlook of $0.38, below the prior quarter's $0.42, analyst questions about foundry yields and scale, and Nvidia's expansion into CPUs. MarketBeat data shows a consensus rating of 'Hold' and an average target price of $107.73.
