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.

- Hundreds of Millions of USD Withdrawn From Bitcoin, ETH ETFs After Binance Hack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.
- 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.
- 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.

- AMD to report Q3 results following disappointing showing from Intel
AMD will report third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, as Wall Street looks for signs of AI chip demand after a sharp AI-trade sell-off and a disappointing Q4 outlook from Intel (INTC) last week. Intel guided Q4 revenue to $15 billion to $16 billion, well below the $17 billion analysts expected, sending its stock down nearly 29%; the company blamed a steeper-than-expected decline in the PC market. Analysts expect AMD to earn $1.97 per share on $13 billion in revenue, versus $1.20 and $9.2 billion a year earlier. Data Center sales are forecast at $8.19 billion, up 88% from $4.34 billion, while the gaming business could fall 49% to $655 million as higher memory and storage prices weigh on demand. Client revenue, which includes PC sales, is projected at more than $3.06 billion, up 11% year over year but flat sequentially.
- Why Musk's telecom play is no 'Hail Mary' fix
Two speakers discuss Elon Musk's push into telecoms over the past few months. One says the move may lift the stock briefly but is not a Hail Mary that will turn the business around, since telecom is heavily scrutinized for antitrust and not very lucrative; this speaker also doubts Musk's statements that funding is secured and wants to know what he is worried about in ongoing investigations. The other speaker views SpaceX's entry into telecoms positively, as a sign of diversification beyond AI and space, while the first asks when that could become an issue.
- Eli Lilly Just Delivered Another Blowout Quarter. Is This Unstoppable Growth Stock Still a Buy?
Eli Lilly reported third-quarter revenue up 39% year over year to $24.4 billion, driven mainly by GLP-1 drugs: Mounjaro rose 65% to $10.7 billion and Zepbound rose 49% to $5.4 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $7.48, up 7%, held back by acquisition-related expenses, but both revenue and earnings beat analyst estimates. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $91 billion to $92 billion from $85 billion to $87 billion, and its shares jumped after the report. The article argues the GLP-1 market still has room to expand given low penetration, and views Lilly's pipeline, including retatrutide, as among the strongest in the field, while noting pricing pressure and competition from new medicines over the medium term.
- Why Lumentum Stock Fell 14.9% Today
Lumentum shares fell 14.9% intraday despite a strong first-quarter report, with revenue more than doubling 136.5% to $1.26 billion and adjusted EPS of $4.57. The company agreed to be acquired by Marvell Technology in an all-stock deal of 4.5 Marvell shares for each Lumentum share, with closing expected in the first half of calendar 2028. The deal was valued at $115 billion, or about $1,132 per Lumentum share, based on October 28 prices; at Monday's midday prices the offer was worth about $800 per share after Marvell fell 9.5%. Lumentum traded 10.6% below that implied value, and the two stocks together erased nearly $28 billion in market value on Monday. The companies expect more than $1 billion in annual cost savings.
- North Korea Is Laundering Binance Hack Loot at One New Wallet Every 25 Seconds
According to Elliptic, North Korean hackers spread the $6.43 billion stolen from Binance across about 12,000 wallets on 11 blockchains in under four days, with more than 40,000 transactions. Thanks to fast freezes by Tether and Circle, about 44% of the funds, or $2.85 billion, has been frozen or seized, compared with roughly 3% after the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025, though about $786 million in stablecoins still got away. About $3.24 billion remains in linked addresses, and Elliptic expects the funds to be cashed out over months through over-the-counter brokers. The FBI has attributed the attack to TraderTraitor, a North Korean state-linked hacking group.
- Is Apple the right anti-AI stock for investors to 'hide' in?
Commentators say Apple is priced near perfection, so even strong results may not meet expectations. Investors are said to be hiding in Apple as an 'anti-AI' stock because it has not spent heavily on AI buildout, while stocks that have spent heavily have been flat this year. One speaker calls Apple expensive but says its stability earns a premium, likening its ecosystem to a utility, and notes early reviews or figures on the foldable phone are mixed. Another says he would not sell even if the stock falls, but adds that if Apple disappoints, it is unclear where investors would go.
