Transaction value represented 2.55% of Global X Japan’s reportable AUM

Post-trade stake: 13,275,162 shares valued at $225.81 million

QYLD remains Global X Japan’s 1st-largest holding, accounting for 19.5% of AUM

What happenedAccording to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated October 15, 2025, Global X Japan Co. Ltd. added 1,752,324 shares to its position in the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) as of Q3 2025. The estimated value of the trade, based on the period’s average price, was $29.43 million, bringing the fund’s total holding in QYLD to 13,275,162 shares, or $225.81 million in value at quarter-end. Its Buy activity raised QYLD to 19.5% of Global X Japan’s reportable U.S. equity AUM.

Company overviewMetricValueAUM8.14 BDividend Yield (TTM)12.98%Price (as of market close October 14, 2025)$17.101-Year Price Change(6.20%)Company snapshotGlobal X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) is a large-scale fund with $8.12 billion in market capitalization and $1.16 billion in assets under management as of Q3 2025, delivering high monthly income through a covered call strategy on the NASDAQ-100 Index. The ETF systematically writes at-the-money call options to generate option premium.

Its Investment strategy is centered on tracking the performance of the CBOE NASDAQ-100 BuyWrite Index by holding NASDAQ-100 equities and writing monthly at-the-money covered call options.

QYLD's portfolio composition invovles concentrated exposure to NASDAQ-100 constituents, combining equity holdings with systematic call option overlays for income generation. Its fund structure is an exchange-traded fund with a non-diversified structure, passively managed to replicate the index methodology.

Foolish takeSteady income has always had a place in smart portfolios, especially when patience is tested across the market. Global X Japan's decision to expand its position in the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) shows how large investors are prioritizing dependable income over speculative gains.

Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) delivers a near 13% yield by selling monthly call options on Nasdaq-100 stocks. This approach thereby transforms daily market swings into a steady source of cash flow. It does give up some upside in bull markets, however it does help provide a buffer when market turn volatile.

The fund's modest six percent decline this year contrasts with its double-digit yield, and it reflects the growing appeal of predictable returns in an environment where growth prospects vary across sectors.

For long term investors, QYLD offers much more than income. It represents a disciplined approach to navigating risks and uncertainty, and rewards patience rather than impulsive trading. As institutions and individuals alike search for stability, the fund's consistency reinforces a principle worth remembering. Its appeal lies in the simple idea that real investing success not from reacting quickly, but from holding patiently.

Bitcoin (BTC) has recently faced downward pressure, slipping over 1% in the past 24 hours and trading near $108,200. Sellers prevented the cryptocurrency from breaking above key resistance levels earlier in the day, temporarily stalling what could have been a bullish breakout.

As Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade in the high $100,000 range following the October 9 crypto market crash, some bullish signs are starting to emerge. Notably, stablecoin reserves on leading crypto exchanges like Binance are entering all-time high (ATH) territory, hinting at a potential rally for BTC.

Stablecoin Reserves Rise – Will Bitcoin Benefit?
According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor PelinayPA, Binance stablecoin reserves are approaching ATH levels, indicating that investors are ready to deploy funds to accumulate BTC at current or lower levels.

The CryptoQuant analyst highlighted the rapidly falling Bitcoin-Stablecoin Ratio (ESR). For the uninitiated, the ESR measures the proportion of Bitcoin reserves to stablecoin reserves on exchanges like Binance.

The ratio also gives hints about the market’s potential buying power and selling pressure. Past data shows that whenever the ESR falls sharply during market volatility, BTC’s price tends to surge.

Essentially, a declining ESR means that stablecoin reserves are growing in comparison to BTC reserves on exchanges. This shows an increase in available “dry powder” on exchanges, which can quickly be used to buy more BTC and initiate another bull rally.

Conversely, when the ESR rises, it means that stablecoin reserves are falling while BTC supply on exchanges is increasing. This points toward an increase in short-term selling pressure as traders deposit BTC to exchanges to sell.

Currently, the ESR has fallen to historically low levels, implying that Binance holds relatively large stablecoin reserves compared to BTC reserves. According to PelinayPA, such a setup can have two interpretations:

In a positive scenario, the abundance of stablecoins suggests significant latent buying power. If market confidence returns, this could trigger a strong wave of buying pressure and mark the start of a new bullish phase.

Meanwhile, the negative scenario assumes that this liquidity would remain inactive, reflecting investor hesitation and a market in standby mode after the recent bloodbath that resulted in liquidations worth $19 billion.

Will The Gold Rotation Help BTC?
Following the crypto market crash earlier this month, which sent BTC from an ATH of more than $126,000 all the way down to $102,000, several whales faced liquidations. Despite the crash, some analysts are confident that the BTC top is not in yet.

One of the factors that can significantly benefit BTC in the near term is the capital rotation from gold to the digital asset. In a new report, Bitwise predicted that capital rotation from gold into BTC could propel it to $242,000.

That said, veteran trader Peter Brandt recently forecasted that BTC could crash 50% from current price levels. At press time, BTC trades at $108,268, down 0.3% in the past 24 hours.

Investors are in wait-and-see mode as the U.S. shutdown stalls data releases and China signals restraint on export controls, keeping markets range-bound ahead of Friday’s CPI report.
Oct 23, 2025, 2:08 a.m.

Good Morning, Asia. Here's what's making news in the markets:Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk's Crypto Daybook Americas.

Crypto markets have entered midweek in a holding pattern.

Bitcoin is trading around $108,164, up slightly from Monday but still down 2% on the week, while Ether is changing hands near $3,815.

The rebound reflects what QCP Capital called a “narrow-range equilibrium” as traders await Friday’s CPI report, the only major U.S. economic data release not delayed by the shutdown.

In its note, QCP said CPI is the “singular anchor” for policy expectations and risk sentiment, noting that a softer 0.2% print could “re-anchor the soft-landing trade” and support Bitcoin’s upside skew as liquidity expectations improve. Until then, volatility is likely to stay elevated, with dips finding support if the dollar and real yields ease further.

Polymarket traders now assign a 77% probability that Washington and Beijing will reach a tariff agreement by Nov. 10, while the odds of Trump’s promised 100% tariffs on China taking effect have fallen to 16%.

In its note, QCP argues that Trump will once again opt for a symbolic deal over confrontation, making the upcoming meeting with Xi "pragmatic", a view reinforced by his softer weekend remarks that “the USA wants to help China, not hurt it.”

The relative calm in both crypto and equities reflects this détente narrative.

Last week’s $20 billion liquidation flush and Binance’s collateral mispricing have largely run their course, setting a cleaner slate for macro traders heading into the CPI event. Whether that calm holds will depend on whether Friday’s inflation print keeps the “soft landing” story alive, or revives the volatility that markets have only just begun to shake off.

Market MovementBTC: Bitcoin is trading above $108K, consolidating after a recent run‑up, with sellers limiting immediate breakout potential while analysts at Standard Chartered say a dip below $100,000 could be a “last chance to buy” before the next leg higher.

ETH: Ethereum is trading around $3,800 with volume up 33% as traders accumulate ahead of U.S. inflation data, though a $650 million transfer by the Ethereum Foundation triggered $700 million in profit-taking and long liquidations, leaving analysts divided between a potential breakout toward $5,000 or a slide toward $2,850 if support at $3,470 fails.

Gold: Gold continues to experience a record-setting sell-off with futures down 0.3% to $4,097.80 an ounce after Tuesday’s 5.7% plunge, as investors took profits from its record run, though analysts said strong central-bank buying and rate-cut expectations should keep bullion supported.

Nikkei 225: Asia-Pacific markets fell Thursday, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 down 1.5%, after reports that the Trump administration may restrict exports to China reignited U.S.-China trade tensions.

Cardano's price decreased by 6.5% despite the successful minting of 24 billion NIGHT tokens by the Midnight project, highlighting market volatility.

Midnight Project Milestone
The Midnight project, a highly anticipated privacy-focused sidechain on the Cardano network, has achieved a significant milestone. According to CoinMarketCap, the project successfully minted its entire supply of 24 billion NIGHT tokens. Despite this progress, the Cardano (ADA) price faced a notable decline.

Cardano Price Movement
On October 22, 2025, Cardano experienced a 6.5% drop in its price, falling from weekly highs of $0.6718 to $0.6304. This decline occurred even amid the excitement surrounding the Midnight project's minting event. The broader bearish market conditions contributed to the increased volatility, overshadowing the positive developments within the Cardano ecosystem.

Project Phases and Market Impact
The Midnight project has now transitioned into the Scavenger Mine phase, paving the way for the upcoming Redemption phase. These stages are crucial in the project's roadmap, yet they have not shielded Cardano from market pressures. The recent price drop highlights the challenges faced by cryptocurrencies, even when supported by significant technological advancements and community interest.

BNB just scored a double victory as Robinhood and Coinbase unlocked access to the $148 billion crypto titan, fueling institutional momentum and signaling a major leap in altcoin integration across U.S. trading platforms.

Sharplink, a leading crypto-focused company, has expanded its Ethereum (ETH) holdings to 859,853 tokens, bringing the total value to approximately $3.5 billion. The latest acquisition of 19,271 ETH at an average price of $3,892 underscores the company's strategic approach to treasury management and long-term value accumulation.

Despite recent bearish movements, Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to defy market pessimism, showcasing one of the strongest community-driven displays of conviction in the crypto space.

Even with an 18% monthly decline and ongoing selling pressure, more than 1.54 million wallets now hold SHIB, according to the latest data from Etherscan. This steady rise in wallet count shows growing investor interest even as the token struggles to stay above the $0.00001 level.

Shiba Inu Investor Confidence Remains Strong as Wallet Count Grows
The rise in holders, though modest, reflects continued confidence in Shiba Inu’s long-term prospects. On-chain analyst Etherscan_SHIB described the trend as “strong momentum,” noting that new investors continue entering the ecosystem even amid volatility.

Currently, Shiba Inu (SHIB) trades near $0.00000985 with a market capitalization of about $5.86 billion, down over 47% year-over-year. Nonetheless, the community’s ability to expand during a bearish cycle underscores the meme coin’s enduring cultural and retail appeal.

Exchange Inflows Raise Short-Term Concerns
Despite strong community participation, short-term risks remain elevated. Data from CryptoQuant revealed that Shiba Inu exchange reserves rose by over 56.6 billion SHIB within 24 hours, suggesting increased selling intent.

The movement of tokens from self-custody to exchanges typically signals short-term profit-taking or fear of further downside.

Analysts also point to a descending triangle formation on SHIB’s chart, a bearish technical pattern that often precedes breakdowns. The base support around $0.00001052 has been tested multiple times since April, and a confirmed breach could push prices toward $0.000006.

Nevertheless, Shiba Inu’s ability to avoid “adding another zero” to its price this week has been celebrated as a small but meaningful psychological victory for holders.

Can Token Burns and Shibarium Drive the 2025 Rebound?
Analysts remain divided on whether SHIB can mount a strong comeback in 2025. Optimists cite the growing Shibarium layer-2 adoption and an active token burn mechanism as potential catalysts for a long-term rebound.

These mechanisms aim to reduce SHIB’s massive 589 trillion supply, which critics argue is the biggest barrier to significant price appreciation.

Bullish forecasts suggest that if burns accelerate and network utility grows, SHIB could retest $0.000025–$0.00005 in a favorable 2025 market. However, others warn that sustained gains will depend on Shiba Inu delivering on its DeFi, metaverse, and NFT marketplace promises.

For now, while the price action remains fragile, the loyalty of its 1.5 million holders emphasizes one undeniable truth, the Shiba Inu community isn’t giving up its fight for a comeback.

Crypto market analysts are eyeing one more Bitcoin flush near $104,000 before the crypto bull market will have a chance to restart, based on historical patterns.

Bitcoin’s long-term support technical indicator is the 50-week simple moving average, and that currently stands at around $102,500 according to TradingView.

It has served as solid support four times since the bull market began in mid-2023 and is likely to be revisited again, analysts said. 

There is still a lot of leverage in the market and a large liquidity cluster around $104,000, observed analyst ‘Sykodelic’ on Thursday. 

“I know its not what any holder wants to hear, but very likely we take that out.”“The market always feels the worst right before it reverses,” the analyst added before observing that the last two times Bitcoin (BTC) markets hit the indicator were in April 2025, when it fell to $74,000 and August 2024, when it crashed to $49,000.

“Both times, sentiment was absolutely fried, just like it is now. And then each time, it reversed hard after tagging that level.”

A final visit to the 50-week SMA could be on the cards. Source: SykodelicFinal phases of correctionOther analysts, such as ‘Negentropic’, shared the bearish sentiment, stating that this will be the final flush. 

“We are seeing a repeat of the final phases of correction in September, it seems like the profit taking this time around is less intensive.”The analyst added that the current setup “opens the door to $102,000,” and we are very close now to a larger reversal.

“Bitcoin may retrace to $104,000 as part of a healthy market correction, driven by profit-taking and macroeconomic uncertainties. However, the underlying fundamentals and institutional interest remain robust, setting the stage for a strong resumption of the bull market,” director at LVRG Research Nick Ruck told Cointelegraph. 

Fellow analyst ‘Daan Crypto Trades’ identified the 200-day exponential moving average as a key area of support during most of this cycle. “There has been some chop around it during uncertain times, but in the end price never lost the trend for more than a month,” he said. 

BTC facing resistance Bitcoin has remained relatively stable over the past 24 hours, hovering around the $108,000 level, which is a key support-turned-resistance zone.

It briefly spiked to $113,000 on Tuesday but quickly fell back to $107,000 before settling at the resistance level, where it has started to consolidate.

(“Molina” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MOH), if they purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between February 5, 2025 and July 23, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

About the Lawsuit

Molina Healthcare and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
