Bitcoin held near $82,500 as geopolitical volatility weighed on price action. On-chain data from Glassnode showed resistance near $87,000 reinforced by investors who purchased BTC in late 2025, creating a key technical barrier for further upside.
02
Ethereum faced continued institutional selling pressure as US spot Ether ETFs recorded $1.08 billion in outflows during October, marking the largest monthly decline of 2026. Bitcoin ETF inflows slowed after activity earlier in the week, reflecting diverging institutional appetite between the two largest cryptocurrencies.

PancakeSwap, the decentralized exchange on BNB Chain, reached $380 million in total value locked as a major fee structure overhaul headed to governance vote.

02
Wallets linked to the Drift protocol exploit continued laundering stolen funds, sending $109 million in Ether to Tornado Cash over two days. The addresses still held $138 million in Ether after the latest $46 million transfer, representing proceeds from the $295 million April hack.

ZEC
01
Zcash rallied 12% after developers finalized the NU7 mainnet activation height targeting Nov. 5, extending triple-digit year-to-date gains. The upgrade will triple payment processing speed, though node synchronization work remains pending before the network-wide deployment.
02
Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies gained broadly on reports that Qatar and Pakistan presented a compromise proposal that could advance US-Iran negotiations, though a diplomat subsequently pushed back against claims that a deal was imminent.

BullishTether-Led Mural Funding
$15M
01

Looking Ahead
Neutral01
US Jobless Claims data due Thursday and Flash PMI figures on Friday will provide insight into economic growth concerns that have weighed on risk assets. Stronger-than-expected PMI readings could trigger short-term relief rallies on improved risk sentiment, though persistent inflation would reinforce expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate increases.
02
Market participants continue monitoring US-Iran diplomatic developments ahead of US midterm elections, with any breakthrough potentially easing inflation concerns and supporting risk assets including cryptocurrencies. The proximity to elections has raised expectations for near-term policy progress.
