Buying Bitcoin at its December 15, 2017 peak closing price of $19,665 meant the $1,000 investment fell 84% to $164 in the 2018 bear market, and only regained its value on December 16, 2020. At Bitcoin's November 1, 2026 close of $78,311, the stake was worth about $3,982, a 298.2% gain, still above the about $2,835 (183.5%, excluding dividends) that a $1,000 investment in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) on December 18, 2017 would have reached. Bitcoin was trading at $77,324, 38.7% below its all-time high of $126,080. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs hold $98.1 billion in net assets, but recorded a $643 million outflow on October 30. A drop to the 200-day average of $73,154 would cut the stake to about $3,720.

- Bitcoin ETF outflows hit $643M, led by BlackRock and Fidelity
Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $643 million on Friday, led by BlackRock at $233.7 million, followed by Fidelity at $201 million and Arc B at $129.5 million. The funds had also recorded net outflows in each of the four preceding sessions, and the week was still only down $202 million. The host notes that ETF flows tend to react to market moves because these funds don't trade 24/7 like Bitcoin, so the impact of after-hours events often shows up the next day. He contrasts this with the worst hack in history, worth $6 billion, and a sharp tech sell-off in which Intel fell 30% and Alphabet and Amazon were each down about 12% at one point overnight, while Bitcoin fell only 4–5% and gold also declined.
- From Uptober to Hacktober: Are Bitcoin’s seasonal patterns becoming obsolete?
Bitcoin fell 7.3% in October 2026, following a roughly 4% decline a year earlier, according to CoinGlass data, defying the month’s historically bullish “Uptober” reputation. Amid a wave of crypto security incidents, including Binance’s record $6.3 billion hack, industry figures turned to labels such as “Black October” and “Hacktober.” Andrew Yang of Kaiko noted that October has posted Bitcoin’s highest median return at 15.4% and gains in 10 of 13 years through 2025, while Bitcoin’s typical monthly move has shrunk from 14% in 2013–2016 to 9.6% since 2024. Analysts such as Justin d’Anethan of Arctic Digital said ETF flows and corporate buyers are shaped more by liquidity, interest rates and investment mandates than by seasonal narratives, and US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $515 million in net outflows in October. Other analysts caution that two losses do not settle the question, as October has generally performed better in bull markets.
- Bitcoin ETFs sink into October outflows with $643M exit after Binance hack
US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $643 million in net withdrawals on Friday, pushing October's net flows to a $515 million outflow, their first negative month since June, according to SoSoValue. The sell-off followed Binance's confirmation that hackers stole about $6.3 billion in crypto assets, and Bitcoin's drop to $77,000 the previous day. BlackRock's IBIT led Friday's outflows with $234 million, followed by Fidelity's FBTC with $201 million. OneKey's founder warned that IBIT could face similar security risks because it relies heavily on Coinbase to hold its Bitcoin, while Ether ETFs recorded a record $1.61 billion in October net outflows.
- Bitcoin ETFs lost $643 million in outflows Friday, and 2026 is barely green now
- Bitcoin ETF Investors Head for the Exits After Record Binance Hack
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $643.2 million in outflows on Friday, their biggest outflow of October and first full session after the roughly $6.4 billion Binance hack. Ethereum ETFs extended their outflow streak to five days, about $431 million, and Solana ETFs lost about $72 million over the week. Bitcoin fell about 4% on Friday, with more than $1.3 billion in leveraged positions liquidated, before steadying near $77,520 on Saturday. Binance pledged to cover all losses with company funds and an emergency reserve, while Tether and Circle froze more than $2.3 billion in stolen stablecoins. The article notes the drop was far smaller than the nearly 11% plunge after a failed attack on Binance in 2018.
- Hundreds of Millions of USD Withdrawn From Bitcoin, ETH ETFs After Binance Hack
U.S. spot Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana ETFs recorded net outflows of nearly 790 million USD on October 30, as the crypto market came under pressure after a cyberattack led to the theft of about 6.3 billion USD in digital assets from Binance. Bitcoin ETFs alone saw 643 million USD withdrawn, concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT (233.7 million USD) and Fidelity's FBTC (201 million USD). According to Reuters, most of the assets were taken within about 20 minutes, while Binance said the incident involved a breach of its transaction approval system and that it would use company resources to cover losses. Bitcoin fell to 76,368 USD and Ethereum touched 2,178 USD before partially recovering. One expert said the bigger risk lies in liquidity disruption if Binance restricts deposits and withdrawals.

- i-80 Gold Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results; Archimedes Underground on Track to Begin Production Mining by Year-End
i-80 Gold reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $32.7 million from 7,744 ounces of gold sold at an average realized price of $4,211 per ounce, with production of 11,685 ounces, marginally lower than 12,428 ounces a year earlier.

Advanced Micro Devices will report third-quarter results after the market closes Tuesday, after shares fell nearly 11% on Friday and declined again Monday amid broader chip stock weakness, leaving the stock nearly 30% below its all-time high reached less than a month earlier.

Compared with Nvidia's $89 billion of data center revenue last quarter, AMD's data center segment generated $6.7 billion, and the article flags risks including lower margins on AI chips and Intel's warning about a shrinking PC market.
