- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- JPMorgan Bitcoin Forecast Gives BTC a Major Edge Over US Stocks
In its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, released October 19, JPMorgan Asset Management projects a 10% annual compounded return for Bitcoin over 10 to 15 years, its first long-term Bitcoin forecast, above the 7.5% for U.S. large-cap stocks, 8.2% for REITs and 5.5% for gold. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan highlighted the forecast, though the article notes these are modeled estimates rather than a short-term market call. At the same time, JPMorgan assigns Bitcoin 55% annualized volatility, roughly three times the approximately 18% assumed for U.S. large-cap equities and 17.2% for gold. The bank has not added Bitcoin to its main covariance matrices, citing its volatility and unstable correlations with conventional assets, and instead analyzes it in a separate, smaller matrix. For comparison, JPMorgan projects 7% annually for a portfolio of 60% equities and 40% bonds over the same horizon.
- US Bitcoin ETFs draw $527M in biggest showing since September
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $526.7 million in net inflows on Monday, their largest daily intake in nearly a month and the strongest since Sept. 22, after two weeks of net weekly withdrawals. BlackRock's IBIT led with $665.2 million in inflows, offsetting $83.6 million in withdrawals from Fidelity's FBTC and $54.9 million from Grayscale's GBTC, while other funds recorded no net flows. Despite the rebound, spot Bitcoin ETFs remain about $88 million negative for October. Spot Ether ETFs saw $103.3 million in net outflows on Monday, led by $95.4 million from BlackRock's ETHA, marking their third consecutive week of net withdrawals.
- Iran Delivers Bad News to the World
Iran's crude oil exports have fallen from nearly 1 million barrels per day in July to zero since late August, as the US reimposed a naval blockade from mid-July after a ceasefire deal collapsed. Ship-tracking and satellite data cited by the EU show no crude tankers have berthed at Kharg Island, the country's main export hub, since late August, and Jask port has seen none either. Before the blockade, Iran exported about 1.8 million barrels per day over the 12 months to April, mostly to China, and Chinese refiners are now seeking alternative supplies. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have also risen, with 25 vessels targeted in the first two weeks of October, versus 18 in September and 15 in August.
- Bitcoin rally could revive treasury buying, but easy-money days over
Analysts say corporate Bitcoin purchases could accelerate from late 2026 into 2027 if Bitcoin rallies, but investors are likely to be more selective about which treasury companies they fund rather than raising capital indiscriminately as in 2025. Strategy added a net 1,666 BTC in Q3, down from 83,901 BTC in Q2, while other public companies added a net 5,617 BTC versus 45,725 BTC in the previous quarter. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $6.4 billion in net inflows in Q3, though US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw about $229 million in net outflows last week, their second consecutive week of withdrawals. Bitwise noted that a dozen companies that entered during the 2025 treasury boom sold their entire holdings, mostly to repay debt or return cash to shareholders after their stock premiums evaporated.
- US - Iran Peace Deal Hopes Rise as Bitcoin Eyes $90K
A US-Iran peace deal could be announced within days, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, though neither government has officially confirmed a breakthrough. Talks reportedly cover military de-escalation, sanctions relief and Strait of Hormuz restrictions, while Iran's nuclear program remains a major obstacle. Bitcoin traded near $82,500 and would need to rise about 9.1% to reach $90,000, while Brent slipped toward $108 per barrel and WTI hovered near $101. Analysts noted Bitcoin's mixed performance after past US midterm elections, which fall on November 3, and Michael Saylor predicts a recovery above $100,000.

- The sorrow of Europe's “big brother” economy: Bonds keep selling off heavily after a “turbulent weekend”
French 10-year government bond yields rose 0.14 percentage points to 4.93% after a turbulent weekend, while the spread over German bonds returned to 1.47 percentage points. Nationwide protests over rising living costs and student education conditions turned into widespread rioting and looting; the government said at least 3,000 shops and businesses were looted, and the French retail federation estimated damages could reach “several hundred million euros.” More than 2,500 people are under formal investigation, 67 of them detained, and several cities have imposed curfews. President Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez’s resignation offer, even though Nuñez admitted police were deployed too thinly for protests of over 550,000 people, against an expected 200,000. Opposition politicians and the mayors of Paris and Marseille criticized the government for letting police lose control of the situation.
- President Donald Trump Claims, "We Don't Have Inflation, and Tariffs Don't Cause Inflation," but a New Report Strongly Disagrees
Although the stock market has posted strong returns under President Trump, the article argues his inflation-driving policies may be the biggest threat to the AI-driven bull market. A New York Federal Reserve report by three economists finds that by February 2026, tariffs had added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation, and each percentage point increase in average tariffs lifted consumer prices by about a quarter of a point after one year. Beyond tariffs, the Iran war and the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed fuel prices sharply higher, with fuel oil up 74.0% and gasoline up 34.2% over the past year, while overall CPI rose 3.7%. The article warns that persistent inflation could prompt the Fed to raise rates more aggressively, slowing AI infrastructure investment and sending stocks lower.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
