According to blockchain trackers and reporting by market outlets, SpaceX moved 1,215 BTC — roughly $133 million — into new wallet addresses late last week. The transfers were flagged by analytics firms on October 24, 2025. The company has not issued an explanation for the activity.

New Wallets Receive Large Transfers

Blockchain data shows the movement split into roughly 300 BTC (about $33 million) and 915 BTC (about $100 million).

Based on reports, the destination addresses are newly created or newly associated with the company and are not yet broadly labelled on public trackers.

On-chain records list timestamps and transaction IDs, but the transfers are otherwise standard Bitcoin transactions with typical fees.

SpaceX’s Known Holdings And Recent Transfers

Before these moves, wallets linked to SpaceX were reported to hold about 8,285 BTC, a stash valued at roughly $914 million when Bitcoin traded above $110,000.

The firm has engaged in large transfers before, and this action joins a string of high-value on-chain movements by corporate holders over the past year.

The size of the transfer and the profile of the sender drew immediate attention because SpaceX ranks among the larger private-company holders of Bitcoin.

No Public Explanation From SpaceX

SpaceX has not confirmed whether the transfers represent a sale, a custodial change, or an internal tidy-up of wallets. Reports have disclosed that analysts, watching the chain, tend to treat such moves as either custody rearrangements or preparatory steps for other activity.

Some observers say shifting coins between company-controlled addresses is a normal part of treasury management. Others warn that without a statement, market observers will assume the worst or the most market-sensitive option: liquidation.

Market Reaction And Wider Context

While the transfers did not prompt a major price shock, they did spark conversations and volatility in trading feeds.

Whale trackers and exchanges flagged the transfer for a short time, and some crypto commentators took note of timing while prices were near recent highs.

For investors, these are moves worth nothing. A large on-chain transfer from a corporate wallet changes the demand picture around available supply for sale, will continue to exist, even if the coins are ultimately still held in the company’s custody.

On-Chain Clues And Takeaways

Analysts identify a few clues on chain: the addresses are recently used, no immediate moves to exchanges, and the transfer is in multiple outputs.

These clues support the idea that the transaction is internal, meaning co-mingling coins from two cold storage wallets or simply moving coins to a new custodian.

Still, until SpaceX or a trusted representative comments, any explanation is provisional and should be treated cautiously.

Blockchain analysis platform Glassnode has shared some important insights on Bitcoin’s liquidity levels amid a rather volatile market period. Notably, the leading cryptocurrency has struggled to maintain its “Uptober” form after a price surge to $126,000 was followed by a heavy correction to below $105,000. While Bitcoin has shown some recovery activity since then, it is yet to break above the $115,000 resistance, while its total monthly gain stands at 0.47%.

Bitcoin Liquidity Rises, Testing Demand Strength 

In an X post on October 25, Glassnode reports that Bitcoin’s illiquid supply has fallen by 62,000 BTC since mid-October.  For context, Illiquid Bitcoin refers to BTC that is held in wallets with little to no history of selling. They are essentially coins that are unlikely to move because their holders rarely spend and are considered off the market.

Therefore, a decline in illiquid BTC suggests that more coins are returning to active circulation, increasing available supply. This dynamic can make sustained price growth more challenging unless offset by a strong surge in demand.

Glassnode explains that illiquid supply growth has been a positive catalyst in this market cycle before this recent decline occurred. Historically, similar pullbacks, such as the 400,000 BTC decline in January 2024, have tended to slow market momentum by increasing the amount of Bitcoin in active circulation. 

Who’s Behind The Sale? 

In analyzing this fall in illiquid BTC, Glassnode further discovered that Bitcoin whales’ accumulation activity has accelerated. In particular, BTC wallets have increased their holdings over the past 30 days and have yet to liquidate any large positions since October 15. 

Therefore, the rise in BTC liquidity has been driven by retail investors. More data from Glassnode reveals that wallets holding between 0.1-10 BTC, i.e. $10,000 to $1,000,000, have been producing consistent heavy outflows. In particular, this set of traders has been steadily reducing their BTC exposure since November 2024. 

In relation to recent price action, Glassnode analysts note that momentum buyers, primarily retail investors,  are increasingly exiting the market. Although dip buyers i.e., whales, have stepped up their activity, their demand has not been sufficient to absorb the excess supply, leading to the price imbalance currently observed.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $111,570, reflecting a modest 0.89% gain over the past 24 hours. On higher timeframes, the leading cryptocurrency has recorded a 4.11% increase over the past week and a marginal 0.05% rise over the past month.

Following its blistering performance in the first week of October, the Bitcoin price action has been pretty much tame all month. In fact, the premier cryptocurrency has witnessed moments of bearish action in what is widely regarded as the historically bullish month of “Uptober.”

With the substantial downward pressure in recent weeks, the Bitcoin price looks set to close the month in the red. However, a recent evaluation shows that the market leader might be gearing up for its next major price move in the coming week.

Why BTC Could Make A Major Move Next Week

In a recent video on YouTube, crypto analyst Maartunn shared an exciting hypothesis around the Bitcoin price, saying that the coin could make its next big move in the coming week. This evaluation is based on the Bitcoin Crash Price Trace, which monitors BTC’s behavior after a major price downturn.

According to Maartunn’s analysis, the Bitcoin price tends to enter a period of consolidation or sideways movement after a sharp crash for about two to four weeks, before making its next major move. This has been the case for the flagship cryptocurrency since it fell more than 16% on October 10. 

Maartunn noted that the market leader is currently 14 days into this consolidation phase, meaning that the next move could come anytime from now. 

The analyst went further to provide clues in the data, highlighting that market volatility is shrinking for the premier cryptocurrency. Maartunn believes that this decline in volatility signals that investors are waiting on the sidelines for the next significant price move.

As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at around $111,690, reflecting a mere 0.6% jump in the past 24 hours.

Level To Watch For The Next Move

Maartunn went further by revealing $112,500 as a critical level to watch in case the Bitcoin price makes its next major move. This price level is the short-term holders’ (STHs) realized price, which often acts as a dynamic support and resistance level.

Typically, with BTC’s value beneath this STH realized price, it means that the most reactive set of Bitcoin investors is in the red. These short-term investors are likely going to offload their assets at breakeven price—when the Bitcoin price returns to their cost basis.

Ultimately, this sell-off would put downward pressure on Bitcoin’s price, making the STH realized price (currently at $112,500) a significant resistance level.

The US-based spot Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) have registered a second consecutive week of capital outflows. This negative trend comes on the back of what has been a disappointing price performance by the second-largest cryptocurrency in October. Following months of significant capital influx, the Ethereum ETFs seem to be in a cool-off period, with a shift in investor sentiment also seemingly in play.

US Ethereum ETFs Post $93.6 Million Outflow

According to the latest market data, the US Ethereum ETF market registered a daily total net outflow of $93.6 million on Friday, October 24. This negative closing performance marked the third straight day of outflows for the crypto-linked investment products.

Interestingly, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (with the ticker ETHA) was the only ETH exchange-traded fund that recorded a negative outflow on the day. The largest Ethereum ETF by net assets lost nearly $101 million in value to close the week.

Meanwhile, Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (with the ticker ETH) was the only other spot ETH exchange-traded fund that saw any trading activity on Friday. Data from SoSoValue shows that the Ether-linked investment product witnessed a capital influx of $7.4 million.

This negative $93.6 million performance compounded what had been a disappointing week for the US Ethereum ETFs, growing the current outflow streak to three straight days. Meanwhile, this daily performance brought the ETF’s weekly record to around $243.9 million total net outflow.

What’s more worrying is that this is the second consecutive weekly outflow for the Ethereum ETFs for the first time since April, signaling reduced investor appetite. Demand for the exchange-traded funds, which has been quite a bright spot for Ethereum in recent weeks, seems to now be waning.

Ethereum Price Overview 

It is difficult to dissociate the performance of the US Ethereum ETFs from the price action of the underlying asset. This direct relationship can be spotlighted from last week’s performance, as the price of Ethereum struggled to get going in the last seven days.

While this sluggish condition has been a general concern for the crypto market, the large-cap assets seem to have it worse at the moment. The Ethereum price, for instance, has particularly struggled to recover and hold above the psychological level of $4,000. 

As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $3,950, reflecting a mere 0.7% leap in the past 24 hours.

Смещение внимания трейдеров и инвесторов с альтернативных коинов на биткоин привело к дефициту капитализации рынка альткоинов в размере $800 млрд, сообщил гендиректор и руководитель исследовательского отдела компании 10x Research Маркус Тилен (Markus Thielen).

According to regulatory filings, Jane Street Group disclosed passive stakes in several public bitcoin miners on Oct. 23 and Oct. 24, 2025, sending a ripple through mining stocks. Reports have disclosed holdings of about 5.4% in Bitfarms Ltd., 5.0% in Cipher Mining Inc., and 5.0% in Hut 8 Corp, all shown on Schedule 13G forms that signal non-activist positions.

Jane Street Discloses Stakes

The filings list Jane Street as a passive investor rather than an activist owner. Based on reports, the group’s move is being read as a vote of confidence in the miners as public companies, not necessarily a plan to run them. The exact dollar value of the stakes was not in the filing summaries made public, but the percentage holdings were clear.

Market Moves After The Filings

Stock traders reacted fast. Cipher Mining climbed roughly 13% on the day of the filings, while other miners also saw gains as investors priced in the news.

Shares jumped because market participants often view big, visible positions by large trading firms as a signal that the asset is worth a closer look.

Volume in the miners’ names increased as well, with many more shares changing hands than on an average trading day.

Institutional Context And Activity

Jane Street has been active in digital assets trading for several years and has taken roles that include providing liquidity and working with ETF issuers.

Reports show the firm’s crypto trading grew significantly in recent years, with figures around $110 billion in trading activity in 2023 mentioned in industry coverage.

The firm has also acted as an authorized participant for some spot bitcoin ETF processes, which means it is involved in the markets that connect funds to underlying bitcoin exposure.

What This Means For Miners

For the mining companies, visible institutional stakes can bring both benefits and scrutiny. On one hand, more interest from big firms can open doors to capital and improved market credibility.

On the other hand, mining remains tied to the price of bitcoin, power costs, and regulatory decisions about energy use and hosting. Reports have warned that some market watchers think the positions may be part of broader trading strategies rather than simple long-term bets.

Analysts and market commentators said the filings are worth watching, but they also advised caution. Mining stocks are volatile; they can move sharply when bitcoin moves, when energy deals are announced, or when hardware shifts occur.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of corporate Bitcoin treasuries, certain names often dominate the headlines, celebrated for their pioneering strategies in accumulating BTC. As institutional adoption continues its march, Capital B is emerging as BTC’s most overlooked institutional treasury, prompting a critical re-evaluation of who the true quiet accumulators in the BTC space really are.

Capital B Influence On Bitcoin Supply Dynamics

Bitcoin treasury strategy is often characterized by big names and loud announcements, but the most compelling strategy is executed in silence. According to an analyst known as Zynx on X, Capital B is the most underrated BTC treasury in the market today. Despite being super volatile and heavily shorted, the company continues to add BTC per share. He also stated that Capital B raised €58 million at a 2.35 mNAV during a collapsing market.

However, the involvement of backers like TOBAM and the infiltration of the life insurance market in France are extremely promising. Meanwhile, the innovation of the Bitcoin-denominated convertible bond is arguably one of the best pieces of financial engineering developed in the space, aside from Strategy’s pioneering work.

Zynx believed that the wider BTC treasury space is neglecting Capital B. Since a proper US OTC listing is not happening anytime soon, the immense liquidity and attention of the American retail and institutional market have not fully flowed over to the stock. Also, during one of Alexandre Laizet’s French-language livestreams, over 1,400 listeners tuned in concurrently.

“Every few weeks, I like to make a post like this just to make it known that I might not talk about Capital B every day, but it’s certainly one of my favourite stocks that I’ve been adding all the way down. I’m backing them to be the best-performing European equity over the next 5 years.” Zynx mentioned.

Is Bitcoin Becoming The Digital Gold Investors Hope For?

A market analyst and investor who is known for his focus on Bitcoin, Davide, has revealed that BTC is starting to act less like a volatile tech stock and increasingly like a true macro hedge. Despite the recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) uptick in inflation, BTC held firm near $110,000, showing resilience, while gold has also stayed steady during this period.

Presently, it appears that the markets across the board are signaling a shared understanding that inflation isn’t re-accelerating, the prospect of rate cuts remains on the table, and liquidity is still very much alive within the financial system. According to the expert, BTC’s calm reaction reflects growing maturity and confidence in long-term holders.

The REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) has achieved a major milestone. The product, launched on September 18, 2025, by REX Shares in partnership with Osprey Funds, has now surpassed $100 million in assets under management (AUM). 

The announcement, which was made on X by REX Shares, is a defining moment for XRP investment products, as XRPR becomes the first ETF in the United States to provide investors with regulated exposure to the digital asset’s market price.

XRPR Reaches Major Milestone

The fund’s rapid growth to over $100 million in AUM in just over a month shows the intense interest in XRP-related products among crypto investors, who have been fervently waiting for a Spot XRP ETF. 

According to its structure, XRPR is tracking the performance of XRP’s spot market while complying with existing US regulations. As shown on the XRPR website, it does this by investing at least 80% of its assets in XRP and related instruments through the REX-Osprey XRP subsidiary, rather than holding the token directly.

Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in XRP and other assets that provide exposure to XRP’s price movements. However, although it seeks returns that correspond closely to XRP’s performance, its results will not fully replicate the token’s market price.

This setup allows XRPR to operate within the framework of the US Investment Company Act of 1940, similar to traditional equity or commodity ETFs. Although it provides spot exposure to XRP’s price movements, it differs from something like BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which holds the cryptocurrency itself in custody. Still, the structure gives investors regulated access to XRP’s price performance without relying on futures or derivatives.

Spot XRP ETF Applications Still Await SEC Decision

As it stands, XRPR is currently the only XRP ETF available in the US. However, several major asset managers, including WisdomTree and CoinShares, have filed applications for pure spot XRP ETFs that would have the structure of spot Bitcoin ETFs. These proposed funds would directly hold XRP in custody and offer complete one-to-one exposure to its market price.

The final deadline on most of these Spot XRP ETF applications was set between October 19 and October 25. However, progress has stalled due to the ongoing US government shutdown, which has effectively frozen the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) review process. 

Just weeks before the shutdown, the SEC introduced a new set of generic listing standards for commodity-based exchange-traded products to fast-track their launch. However, until the government reopens, no new ETF approvals, crypto or otherwise, can move forward.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.54, up by 3.6% in the past 24 hours.

US President Donald Trump has selected Michael Selig to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in a major development on Friday. This move adds to the long list of positive actions by the Trump administration targeted at providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry.

Pro-Crypto Selig Gets Nod For CFTC Leadership 

On Friday, Bloomberg reported that the White House is set to name Michael Selig the new Chairman of the CFTC. Selig is expected to take leadership from Caroline D. Pharm, who has been serving as acting Chairman since January 2025.

Selig is a lawyer by profession and gained prominence working as a partner specializing in crypto at Willkie Farr and Gallagher LLP. The incoming CFTC boss has also previously worked as a clerk for former CFTC commissioner and chairman Chris Giancarlo. Presently, Selig serves as chief counsel to the crypto task force of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also a Senior Adviser to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. 

Apparently, Trump had previously settled on Brian Quintez, a former CFTC commissioner and present policy head at a16z crypto. However, opposition from Gemini’s Tyler Winklevoss, who cited a conflict of interest, resulted in a change of direction. 

Selig’s nomination has now been submitted to the US Senate. If approved, he will assume leadership of the CFTC at a pivotal moment, as regulators and legislators work to shape a federal regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry. Selig’s tenure must maintain focus on the challenge of bridging regulatory approaches between the SEC and CFTC, aiming to establish clearer oversight for both traditional financial markets and digital assets.

Trump Keeps Up The Pressure On Crypto Reform

With Selig’s appointment as the new CFTC Chairman, Trump takes another step in demonstrating his commitment to the crypto industry, fulfilling one of his key campaign promises in making America the crypto capital of the world.

The ongoing regulatory shake-up, which includes Selig’s nomination and the earlier appointment of SEC Chair Paul Atkins, has ushered in initiatives such as the SEC’s Project Crypto and the CFTC’s Crypto Sprint, both aligned with the White House’s broader digital asset agenda.

Meanwhile, legislative progress continues with the recent approval of the GENIUS Act, aimed at regulating the stablecoin sector, while other pivotal proposals, including the CLARITY Act, remain under congressional consideration.

At press time, the total crypto market cap is valued at $3.74 trillion after a 0.15% gain in the past day. Meanwhile, total trading volume is down by 15.06% and valued at $130.06 billion. 

The discussions surrounding Ripple’s strategic expansion have reached a fever pitch, with analysts suggesting that the crypto payments company may be positioning itself to tap into a new $12 trillion United States (US) repo market. Recent reports and acquisitions hint that Ripple’s growing ambition to bridge digital assets with Wall Street’s largest liquidity systems could significantly influence XRP’s utility beyond cross-border payments.  

Ripple Eyes Entry Into $12 Trillion Repo Market

A recent X post by a crypto analyst known as ‘X Finance Bull’ has ignited discussions in the crypto community, claiming that Ripple’s latest acquisitions signal a direct entry into the US repo market. Contrary to the previously cited $6 trillion valuation, the expert disclosed that the repo market’s actual value may be nearly twice as high, approaching $12 trillion and making it one of the largest liquidity pools in the world. 

The repo market, which X Finance Bull calls the “real liquidity backbone of the global finance system,” plays a vital role in facilitating short-term funding and liquidity throughout international economies. Ripple’s strategic entrance into this domain could mark a new chapter in how capital moves across borders and institutions. Moreover, the analyst mentioned that Ripple’s recent acquisition of cloud-based SaaS platform, GTreasury and prime brokerage Hidden Road appears to be pivotal in its strategy to tap into the $12 trillion repo market. 

According to the analyst, these moves extend Ripple’s reach beyond traditional remittance and cross-border payment solutions, unlocking idle capital that resides within some of the world’s most powerful financial markets. GTreasury, for one, provides Ripple access to sophisticated capital management infrastructures. Combined with Hidden Road, the crypto company now sits at the intersection of traditional finance and digital asset liquidity. 

X Finance Bull stressed that Ripple is building “the foundation of modern monetary plumbing,” and now it is paired with 24/7, 365-day real-time settlement powered by a decentralized ledger. He urged market observers not to focus solely on the XRP price but on Ripple’s strategic positioning.

Ripple CEO Announces Complete Acquisition Of Hidden Road

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced on October 24 that the company has officially finalized the acquisition of Hidden Road, which will now operate under the name “Ripple Prime.” This development marks the crypto firm’s fifth major acquisition in roughly two years, joining GTreasury last week, Rail in August 2025, Standard Custody in 2024, and Metaco in 2023.

With these acquisitions, Garlinghouse revealed that Ripple is building solutions toward enabling an “internet of value.” The CEO reminded the community that XRP remains central to every aspect of Ripple’s expanding network. The launch of Ripple Prime also marks a significant milestone, making Ripple the first-ever cryptocurrency firm to own and operate a global, multi-asset prime brokerage.
