The newly launched VanEck Wealth Builder ETF (WBMO) combines several asset classes, including Bitcoin, in one actively managed fund, with 1.9% allocated to the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL), a spot Bitcoin fund. The issuer targets a 2% Bitcoin allocation, so the position is not expected to grow much beyond that. The article notes that professionals disagree on how much Bitcoin to hold, with new investors suggested to direct 1% to 2% of investable capital to Bitcoin and some experts saying risk-tolerant investors could hold up to 10%. It argues the ETF suits inexperienced investors and those seeking convenience, but not investors who want a larger Bitcoin position or who prefer to hold Bitcoin directly.

- Could Hyperliquid (HYPE) Overtake Solana (SOL) in Market Value by 2030? Claude AI Puts a Number on It
The article says Bitcoin must rise about 58.8% from $79,401 to surpass its $126,080 record set on October 6, 2025, a move that implies a market value of about $2.53 trillion versus roughly $1.60 trillion today. The next halving is projected for 2028, after the April 2024 halving, when the peak came about 18 months later. Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold $104.7 billion in net assets and have seen $57.2 billion in cumulative net inflows as of October 23, while Strategy Inc. (MSTR) holds 848,517 BTC. The 10-year Treasury yield fell from 5.31% on October 5 to 4.96% on October 22, while the Fed's benchmark rate stayed at 4.00%. The article judges a new high before 2028 unlikely, with a more realistic range of $63,847 to $100,000, and a pessimistic case of a return to $63,847 if ETF outflows rise and the VIX stays above 20.
- Bitcoin Dips Below $80,000 Ahead of Fed Decision, Midterms
Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000, touching about $79,330 before recovering to $80,264, down 2.7% on the week according to CoinGecko. The dip followed a sell-off in tech stocks and caution ahead of the Fed's rate decision, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $773 million in net outflows on Thursday and Friday. Daniela Hathorn of Capital.com linked the pressure to persistent inflation, high Treasury yields and expectations of further Fed tightening, while Tim Sun of HashKey said outflows and unwinding leveraged positions amplified the decline. Tim Sun sees $75,000 as a key support level if prices fall further, while Stephen Wundke of Algoz says Bitcoin needs to hold $82,000 to support the bull case. Analysts expect volatility to stay elevated ahead of Wednesday's Fed decision and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3.
- Bitcoin's Bear Market Is Over, Galaxy Research Says: 'Now Is an Attractive Time to Buy'
Galaxy's Alex Thorn argues Bitcoin bottomed in June and is now in an accumulation phase, calling it 'an attractive time to buy and hold bitcoin.' Bitcoin has closed five straight weeks above its 50-week average, and its market value never fell below its realized value, a first for any bear market. The latest 53% drawdown was the shallowest on record, versus 77% to 93% in past cycles, and spot Bitcoin ETFs have added 87,000 BTC since the June low. Thorn also points to $40.44 trillion in federal debt and a 10-year Treasury yield that hit 5.31%, its highest since 2007. His warning sign is a weekly close below the 50-week average, currently $76,540, that isn't regained within a month.
- Can Bitcoin Get Back Above $85,000 in November?
Bitcoin came within about $150 of $85,000 before sellers pushed it lower, and as of the morning of October 24 it traded at $80,530, down 3.5% in October. It sits below its 50-day average of $81,776 and 20-day average of $82,826, and must clear the October open of $83,556 and the week's high of $84,856. Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted net outflows of $635.6 million on October 22, though they recorded inflows of $526.6 million and $528.4 million on October 19 and 21. Rising oil prices, with WTI at $108 a barrel amid Middle East conflict concerns, and weak tech stocks are weighing on Bitcoin, although the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.96%. The author says Bitcoin could exceed $85,000 at some point in November but is unlikely to hold that level through month-end unless ETF inflows turn consistently positive after the November 3 midterm elections.
- Bitcoin Ranges Near $83K as Traders Look to US Inflation Data
Bitcoin trades near $83,330, up 0.6% over 24 hours but down 2.9% over the past week, per CoinGecko. Analysts say rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar are weighing on the asset, with the 10-year yield at 5.24% and the 30-year at 5.60%, the highest levels in more than two decades. Traders now see a 19.4% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed hike at the October 28 meeting, down from 42.5% a month ago. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew net inflows of $21.13 million on Friday after two days of heavy outflows, while digital asset fund inflows have lost momentum after $11.1 billion since mid-July. Bitfire sees Bitcoin trading mainly between $80,300 and $87,100, and analysts say upcoming U.S. inflation data could be decisive for the Fed's next move.
- Bitcoin Is Still 38% Below Its Record. Here's What $1,000 Could Be Worth by 2036.
Bitcoin is up about 30% since early July (as of Nov. 2) but remains 38% below its record high. Over the past decade, its price rose 11,330%, or about 61% annualized. The article projects a 10-fold increase by 2036, which would turn a $1,000 investment into $10,000 and lift market capitalization to roughly $15 trillion. Its arguments include a hard cap of 21 million bitcoins, capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, and US federal debt above $40 trillion with a $2 trillion deficit this fiscal year. Risks noted include capital shifting to other areas, restrictive regulation, Bitcoin failing to become a widely used payments network, and quantum computing threats to its security.

- Why SK Hynix Plunged in October
SK Hynix shares fell 20.2% in October, even though the company posted strong results at month-end. The drop came amid a broad AI and chip sell-off early in the month, triggered by a leaked $16 billion-plus Anthropic revenue figure, midterm election uncertainty and rumors of renewed U.S. military action in Iran. In the third quarter, revenue rose 328% to 104.6 trillion Korean won, EPS rose 205% to 54,454 won, and operating profit grew 632% with an 80% operating margin. The stock trades at 3.5 times its 2027 earnings estimate, and a 20,000 won per-share dividend implies a 1.5% yield. Investors are questioning how long these earnings can last, given AI financing, U.S. anti-data-center sentiment and doubts about AI lab revenue.
