Market Signal Briefing

The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of recovery after a weekend of intense volatility that triggered a historic $19 billion in liquidations on Friday. The sudden downturn, driven by tariff-related concerns, marked one of the largest flash crashes in crypto history, wiping out billions in leveraged positions across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins.

Dogecoin (DOGE), one of the hardest-hit cryptocurrencies, plunged to a low of $0.15 — its weakest level since June — after falling from a recent peak of $0.27 on October 6. However, DOGE investors are now breathing a sigh of relief as the meme coin makes a strong comeback. On Sunday, Dogecoin recorded its first green candle in three days, signaling renewed bullish momentum.

The token surged from $0.18 to $0.214, reclaiming the crucial daily 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $0.206. This marks an impressive 13% daily gain as bargain hunters and retail traders jumped back in, seeing discounted valuations as an opportunity to buy the dip.

The broader crypto market is also stabilizing, with major assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Shiba Inu posting modest gains after the extreme sell-off. Analysts suggest that the rebound reflects improving sentiment and technical corrections following the liquidation wave.

Dogecoin’s recovery highlights investor resilience and the market’s capacity to rebound from steep declines. As traders monitor price action closely, DOGE’s next challenge will be maintaining momentum above its 200-day SMA to confirm a sustained uptrend.

With the crypto market gradually regaining stability, investors remain optimistic that the worst of the volatility is over, setting the stage for potential upward movement in the coming days.

The cryptocurrency market is reeling after Grayscale, one of the largest digital asset management firms, made massive deposits of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) to Coinbase Prime on October 14. According to on-chain data shared by Lookonchain, Grayscale transferred 1,856 BTC, 29,718 ETH, and 10,516 SOL—worth roughly $358 million—prompting widespread speculation of a potential sell-off amid the ongoing market downturn.

This move comes as the broader crypto market faces intense selling pressure, with leading assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum trading in deep red. Analysts suggest that such large inflows to centralized exchanges typically signal potential selling activity, as institutions may be seeking liquidity to offload holdings. The timing of Grayscale’s transactions—originating from its Bitcoin Trust, Ethereum Trust, and Digital Large Cap portfolios—has fueled speculation that the firm might be preparing to reduce exposure during heightened volatility.

Grayscale’s decision has drawn attention because institutional movements often influence overall market sentiment and price trends. Investors interpret this latest activity as a possible sign of caution, with the firm potentially hedging against further losses amid macroeconomic uncertainty and declining crypto momentum. Other institutional players have reportedly made similar moves, adding to fears that the 2025 crypto bull run may have already peaked.

Following the deposits, market data from CoinMarketCap shows modest declines across major tokens, with Bitcoin slipping 2.13% to $112,607, Ethereum down 1.70% to $4,117, and Solana dipping 0.13% to $203. While Grayscale has yet to issue an official statement, traders are closely monitoring whether this development signals the start of a larger institutional sell wave—or merely a strategic portfolio rebalancing in a turbulent market.

VanEck has officially submitted its fifth amendment for the spot Solana ETF (ticker: VSOL) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), outlining a 0.30% management fee and an innovative staking strategy. The filing confirms that the ETF aims to mirror Solana’s market performance while generating additional yield through staking—making it the first hybrid digital asset fund structure of its kind in the U.S.

According to the updated filing, VanEck will partner with third-party staking providers such as SOL Strategies to handle delegation and yield management. Provider selection will depend on performance, uptime, and regulatory compliance. To ensure liquidity, VanEck’s staking model includes a 5% buffer that mitigates redemption delays caused by Solana’s typical unbonding period of two to three days. The company’s liquidity risk policy will be reviewed annually to maintain flexibility and market efficiency.

Custody of Solana holdings will be managed by Gemini Trust Company and Coinbase Custody, both regulated and insured entities. VanEck also signaled potential interest in liquid staking tokens (LSTs) pending future regulatory approval, following its recent registration of the Lido Staked Ethereum Trust in Delaware—further emphasizing its commitment to staking-based fund innovation.

The ETF’s 0.30% sponsor fee covers all operational costs except extraordinary legal or regulatory expenses, positioning VSOL among the lowest-fee crypto ETFs on the market, comparable to VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF.

However, despite the comprehensive submission, approval remains uncertain. Analysts like Bloomberg’s James Seyffart noted that the application falls under the Generic Listing Standards (GLS), meaning there’s no fixed timeline for SEC approval. The current U.S. government shutdown has also halted regulatory processes, delaying any decisions. Until operations resume, Solana ETF approvals are effectively on hold, even though exchanges like Cboe BZX can list compliant crypto ETFs under GLS without direct SEC sign-off.

The Dogecoin price slipped roughly 4% on the day and 24% on the week, hovering near $0.20–$0.21 at press time.

While the pullback cools last week’s rebound, analysts say fresh Nasdaq-listing headlines and ETF momentum could reset the narrative and revive the long-standing $1 target if key levels hold.

Nasdaq Listing & Dogecoin ETF Buzz Put $1 Back in Sight
The House of Doge, a corporate arm tied to the Dogecoin Foundation, plans to go public via a $50 million merger with Brag House Holdings (NASDAQ: TBH).

The new entity is set to steward an ecosystem treasury of 837 million DOGE and push DOGE integrations across gaming, campus sports, and digital media, bringing the brand closer to mainstream finance and culture.

At the same time, Dogecoin ETFs from issuers such as 21Shares, Bitwise, and Grayscale are on the SEC’s docket, with early DOGE products already drawing over $30 million despite higher fees.

A green light for lower-cost funds could funnel new, regulated demand into DOGE, historically a catalyst for liquidity and price discovery across crypto.

Key levels: $0.20 support, $0.23–$0.25 and $0.29–$0.30 Resistance
Dogecoin Price action remains balanced on a knife-edge. Traders flag $0.200 as critical support; losing it risks a slide toward $0.178.

On the upside, initial resistance sits at $0.214 and $0.229, with a broader supply zone at $0.241–$0.254. A daily close above $0.25 opens a run at $0.29–$0.30, the area many watch for a breakout confirmation.

Technically, DOGE recently printed hammer/morning star patterns off the lows, while momentum has cooled to neutral, often a staging zone before the next directional move. For swing traders, $0.18 (support) and $0.25 (resistance) are the immediate invalidation/continuation lines.

Whales accumulate as Weekly Triangle Coils
On-chain, whales soaked up roughly $42 million in DOGE during the dip, signaling confidence as price continues to coil inside a multi-month triangle on the weekly chart. Historically, DOGE’s long compressions have preceded outsized expansions.

A decisive break above $0.30 would align with that pattern and shift near-term targets to $0.49 and ultimately the psychological $1 over a longer horizon, particularly if Nasdaq listing progress and ETF approvals land in sync.

The market is getting ready for a proper move toward values that were previously lost; however, the buy-side volume we had is nowhere near the threshold needed to see prices like $3 for XRP, $4,000 for Ethereum and $120,000 for Bitcoin. 

Bitcoin's face-melting fakeoutThe recent price movement of Bitcoin is being characterized as one of the year's most disastrous fakeouts, which has essentially dashed short-term bullish expectations and reset market sentiment generally. BTC is now plunging back toward $111,000, a level that is perilously close to inciting a more significant market correction after what at first appeared to be a strong breakout above the $115,000 resistance turned into a vicious reversal.

More than just wiping out recent gains, this fakeout has destroyed momentum that had been accumulating since early October. Following the swift rejection of the breakout attempt at the 50-day EMA, Bitcoin has since dropped below the 20- and 50-day moving averages, indicating a pronounced loss of directional strength. This signals to traders the end of what might have been a long-term rebound after weeks of sideways consolidation.

HOT Stories

It is a gloomy setup technically. The 200-day EMA, which is the next significant support, is located close to $108,000. This level could determine whether Bitcoin continues on its long-term upward trajectory or begins a protracted decline. Trading volume has increased, indicating that panic selling is taking place, and the RSI indicator is currently trending close to 42, indicating weakening buying pressure.

Despite Bitcoin’s reputation for resilience, this catastrophic move highlights how brittle its structure still is. A series of liquidations occurred on major exchanges as a result of the rejection at $115,000, which not only rendered the prior breakout invalid but also trapped many long positions.

The prospects for Bitcoin’s price recovery are now seriously jeopardized due to the thinning liquidity and ongoing macro uncertainty. In the short term, the market might be looking at another leg lower, possibly toward $100,000, unless Bitcoin can recover and hold above $114,000.

This fakeout serves as a sobering reminder that in the world of Bitcoin, even the most promising rallies can turn violently around in a single daily candle, shattering hopes.

Confidence in Ethereum plummets?The official loss of Ethereum’s hold on the $4,000 mark indicates a sharp drop in investor confidence and increasing market uncertainty. After momentarily recovering from the crash last week, ETH has once again dropped below the psychological barrier and is currently trading close to $3,980, a level that puts it in a precarious position as all technical indicators turn bearish.

Since ETH has been rejected close to the 50-day EMA and has failed to hold above the short-term resistance line, the situation is now framed as critical. At about $3,540, the asset is just above the 200-day EMA (black line), which serves as the final structural support prior to a possible more significant correction. Ethereum might move toward the $3,300-$3,400 range, a region of historical accumulation, if it were to cleanly break below that level.

Ethereum might be able to regain the $4,000 zone, though, in one of two recovery scenarios. The first and more likely is a technical bounce from the 200 EMA, which is fueled by short-term overselling. The RSI is currently trading close to 43, indicating that the market is getting close to exhaustion on the downside. The price of Ethereum may rise to $4,200 if buyers intervene, turning $4,000 back into support.

A liquidity-driven push would be necessary for the second, more viable scenario, which would probably be brought on by fresh capital inflows into altcoins or a wider Bitcoin stabilization above $115,000. By doing so, ETH would be able to retest and possibly break the $4,300 resistance, reestablishing the bullish structure of the midterm.

However, Ethereum is still in a troublesome limbo right now — too weak to support a breakout but not weak enough to confirm a complete breakdown. The $4,000 loss may signal the start of a more extensive retracement phase for the second-largest cryptocurrency unless one of these recovery triggers occurs soon.

No chances for XRP? Even though the recent crash brought XRP down to almost $2.40, the answer may surprise those who think the trend is purely bearish. Investors are once again asking the same question after one of the most turbulent weeks on the cryptocurrency market: can XRP reach $3 again in 2025?

In actuality, XRP’s market behavior has always flourished on volatility rather than steadiness. For this asset, a sharp decline followed by an abrupt recovery is not uncommon. As liquidity resets and traders reposition for the next big swing, historical data actually indicates that XRP’s strongest rallies are frequently preceded by sudden volatility.

The market’s recent drag, particularly the widespread liquidation of high-leverage positions, has now reduced the amount of speculative pressure, making way for a more orderly natural move. If the change in sentiment continues, XRP may return to the $3 level, especially if it is able to recover and stay above the 200-day EMA at $2.70.

In terms of technical analysis, that is the main resistance area that divides stagnation from recovery. If the asset gains traction above this level, whales and momentum traders might reenter, increasing upside volatility, which is exactly what XRP needs to survive.

Further market cycles suggest that overnight reversals are the real character of cryptocurrency growth. Seldom is it predictable or linear. As has been observed innumerable times, without obvious macro triggers, sentiment can shift from hopelessness to euphoria in a matter of hours.

Thus, despite the fact that XRP may appear weak today, history indicates otherwise. It could be abruptly pushed back to $3 or higher in 2025 by the same forces that pulled it down. The market is volatile, and XRP, more than any other significant altcoin, serves as a reminder to investors that cryptocurrency recovery is rarely gradual but rather explosive.

Pi Coin (PI) has shown impressive strength as the broader crypto market saw a sharp correction of over 3%. While major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB declined between 3% and 12%, Pi Coin’s price dipped just 1.5% in the past 24 hours, signaling resilience and growing investor interest. However, traders now face mixed technical indicators that hint at uncertainty in PI’s next move.

Currently trading near $0.21, Pi Coin’s chart reveals conflicting signals. The Money Flow Index (MFI) — which measures buying and selling pressure — has been climbing even as PI made lower lows between August 1 and October 9. This bullish divergence suggests that, despite price declines, new capital has quietly entered the market, indicating gradual accumulation by retail investors.

Conversely, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a hidden bearish divergence between October 6 and 13, with RSI rising while prices made lower highs. This indicates weakening momentum, hinting that any short-term recovery might face resistance before confirming a sustained uptrend.

Structurally, PI is trading within a falling wedge pattern, often considered a bullish setup. A confirmed breakout above $0.29 on the daily chart could trigger renewed buying interest, potentially driving prices toward $0.24–$0.25 initially, and possibly $0.29 if momentum strengthens. On the downside, strong support lies at $0.18 and $0.15 — and a close below $0.15 would invalidate the bullish setup, opening the door for further losses.

For now, Pi Coin remains one of the few cryptocurrencies outperforming the market. Whether the ongoing accumulation leads to a breakout or fading momentum extends the pullback, the next move will likely depend on whether the falling wedge resolves to the upside or breaks lower.

A massive Bitcoin short executed just minutes before US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on China last Friday has sparked controversy over potential insider trading. However, Garrett Jin, the former CEO of now-defunct crypto exchange BitForex, has denied all claims linking him to the market move.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

At TOKEN2049 Singapore, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards set aside his well-known Bitcoin bullishness to deliver an unambiguous warning: a quantum “Q-Day” could arrive far sooner than most of the industry expects, with potentially existential consequences if Bitcoin’s core cryptography is not upgraded in time. “Within two to eight years, a quantum machine will break Bitcoin’s current encryption,” he told the audience, urging developers, companies and holders to treat the issue as urgent engineering, not distant theory.

Edwards framed Q-Day as the moment a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can break widely-used classical cryptography such as RSA—and, by extension, the elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) underpinning Bitcoin’s public-private key model. “Q-day is the day in which a quantum machine will break classic encryption,” he said, adding that once that threshold is crossed, anything protected by those primitives—from financial networks to “sensitive data” and “of course Bitcoin”—is at risk. He asserted that Bitcoin’s ECC would likely fall sooner than RSA when the industry approaches that breakpoint.

Quantum Computing Could Break Bitcoin Within 8 Years
Pushing back on the common refrain that practical quantum attacks are decades away, Edwards argued the timeline has materially compressed, citing both rapid technical progress and a collective incentive among states and large firms to accelerate. “Even quantum years away. If you ask ChatGPT or Grok, it’ll tell you 10, 20, 30 years away. It’s rubbish,” he said. He pointed to quantum computer access already available via major cloud providers—AWS, Google and Azure—and its use cases in “drug discovery, defense, [and] optimizing bond yields,” presenting these as markers of real-world traction rather than laboratory demos.

Edwards anchored his 2–8 year forecast to a convergence of views he described as independent and sober. He referenced security specialist Jameson Lopp as assigning “50% risk in four to nine years,” a “math PhD doctor specializing in quantum” at “2 to six years for Bitcoin,” and McKinsey’s estimate for RSA-level Q-Day in “2 to 10 years,” reiterating his belief that “Bitcoin breaks years earlier than that.”

He also drew attention to a 2017 “Bitcoin quantum paper” that, in his reading, suggests “you only need 2,300 qubits—logical qubits—to break Bitcoin’s ECC,” noting its authorship by researchers affiliated with Microsoft, IonQ and Meta. While those numbers and affiliations were presented as evidence, his central message was less about any single study and more about the overall direction of travel: a multilateral “quantum arms race” that he said has already attracted “$55 billion” in commitments, with China “spending double the US.”

In Edwards’ telling, technological trendlines are compounding that investment wave. He described qubit growth as “basically a straight line in a log chart,” claiming it is “progressing faster than Moore’s law,” and likened today’s skepticism to the disbelief many held about AI adoption in 2021—right before chatbots went mainstream.

“Imagine 2021 and thinking about AI… You thought it was years away. So ChatGPT happened. I think we’re in a similar moment with quantum. It’s ignored today, but it’s coming.” He also highlighted a perceived shift in sentiment from Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, saying that after downplaying quantum timelines early in the year, Huang later called quantum at “an inflection point” and has been “spending billions buying quantum companies.” For Edwards, the takeaway is simple: “As always, follow the money.”

The operational risks Edwards outlined for Bitcoin were concrete and immediate. If adversaries can derive private keys from public keys exposed on-chain, coins sitting at addresses that have previously revealed public keys become vulnerable to theft. That set includes long-dormant “lost” coins and, potentially, some portion of Satoshi-era holdings.

“Satoshi’s coins will probably be market dumped,” he said starkly, not because their owner would necessarily act, but because the associated keys could be computed and the UTXOs swept once Q-Day arrives.

He contrasted dormant addresses with actively maintained wallets, arguing that modern key management and timely migration would reduce exposure: “We want to keep active wallets… it’s good to maintain security upgrades and relevancy of the tech through time.” He referenced Michael Saylor’s recent remark about doing “something ethically proper and burn[ing] his coins,” using it to underscore an inversion in perceived safety: “Actually burnt—the lost coins—the highest risk because no one has maintained that infrastructure.”

Beyond the cryptographic break itself, Edwards emphasized the logistical constraints of any industry-wide upgrade. Bitcoin can only process so many transactions per day, meaning a migration to quantum-safe addresses cannot be done overnight. “We have long lead times to upgrade Bitcoin,” he said.

“For Bitcoin itself it takes at least a month if you ignore all other transactions on the network to simply move everyone across to new wallets… so we’re looking at at least basically 6 to 12 months to fix this.” On that basis, he argued work on a concrete migration path cannot wait: “We need to be solving this really next year—2026—in order to get a solution before 2027.”

Edwards pointed to ongoing technical efforts as a starting point rather than a finished plan. “There’s solutions to protect crypto… There’s a few BIPs for example like this one… by Jameson Lopp. So there are solutions. We can solve this but there is an urgency to it.”

Quantum will break Bitcoin and Satoshi’s coins will market dump.

We must act in 2026.

Watch this video to understand why.https://t.co/46Cqlv5RSH

— Charles Edwards (@caprioleio) October 13, 2025

He called on developers to evaluate proposals for quantum-resistant schemes and on the broader community to “get talking to [the] community, your social media, get involved in the Bitcoin improvement proposals. Review them, give feedback, just get talking.” The subtext was that governance friction—social consensus, client implementation, wallet support, exchange coordination—becomes the gating factor once a candidate scheme is chosen, and that delay is itself a security risk if adversaries are on a clock of their own.

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $111,161.

A record deleveraging erased speculative positions but not conviction, as both Glassnode and CryptoQuant highlight steady whale accumulation, rising USDT supply, and persistent ETF inflows. Oct 15, 2025, 1:21 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's largest-ever leverage wipeout has left traders cautious but long-term capital intact, say analysts in recent reports.

Despite the short-term market chaos from the largest ever crypto liquidation event, both Glassnode and CryptoQuant argue that beneath the surface, liquidity and structural demand held firm.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

CryptoQuant wrote in a recent report that while short-term momentum has weakened, large holders continue to accumulate, and fiat liquidity is still building. USDT supply has grown by nearly $15 billion in 60 days, the fastest pace since January, while U.S. spot bitcoin ETF inflows have climbed to $3.5 billion.

Glassnode also cites this data point in its weekly market pulse, interpreting this trend as evidence that capital remains inside the system even after speculative risk was flushed out.

Where the two analyses diverge most clearly is in tone and timing.

Glassnode portrays the sell-off as a structural purge that stripped out speculative excess and forced traders back into defensive positioning. Its data show funding rates halved, perpetual CVDs turned negative, and options traders paying higher premiums for downside protection.

The firm sees this as a market in recovery mode, digesting losses and rebuilding confidence rather than preparing for an immediate rebound.

CryptoQuant, by contrast, reads the same market through a more constructive lens.

It highlights $115,000, the traders’ on-chain realized price, as the level to watch for renewed strength. A sustained move above that threshold, the firm argues, could mark the start of a new bullish phase supported by expanding stablecoin liquidity and continued whale accumulation.

The difference in outlook reflects a broader divide in sentiment across the market: a cautious reset versus a potential inflection point.

Both firms paint an emerging picture of a market transitioning from excess to equilibrium. Capital is still flowing in through ETFs and stablecoins, but positioning is defensive, and confidence needs time to rebuild.

Whether bitcoin’s next move is a rebound or a drawn-out consolidation will depend less on leverage and more on how quickly that structural demand turns into fresh risk-taking.

Market MovementBTC: Bitcoin fell to around $112,700 after an early slide below $110,000. Profit-taking and renewed Trump trade threats pressured risk assets, though prices steadied after Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled the central bank is nearing the end of its tightening cycle.

ETH: ETH is trading at $4,101, down 3.7%, as open interest dropped to its lowest since May and profit-taking accelerated following a rejection near $4,270, though CME traders and ETF inflows signal institutional support remains strong.

Gold: BlackRock’s Evy Hambro said gold could climb well beyond $4,200 as paper currencies are repriced against real assets, while Bank of America expects it to reach $5,000 and silver $65 by 2026, with both institutions citing fiscal deficits, investor demand, and structural shifts favoring real assets despite risks of short-term consolidation.

Nikkei 225: Asia-Pacific markets opened higher Wednesday, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 up 0.3%, even as renewed U.S.-China trade tensions and threats of “retribution” from President Trump kept volatility elevated.

Silver hits a 45-year high as Bitcoin and Ethereum drop, signaling a possible capital rotation toward tangible assets.Analysts warn crypto may be entering a “bear market versus silver,” as metals outperform and safe-haven demand surges.Experts remain split — some see silver’s rise as cyclical, while others believe Bitcoin will reclaim dominance long-term.While the digital asset market wavers, silver has quietly reached its highest price in nearly half a century.

The reversal between the two asset classes — silver and crypto — not only reflects a shift in capital flow, but also raises a bigger question: is the era of “digital gold” giving way to traditional assets?

The Silver Surge and Signs of Capital RotationThe global asset market is witnessing a rare turning point. Silver has just reached its highest level in about 45 years, marking a historic peak for the metal. Physical silver demand is also surging unprecedentedly, with large-scale purchases and deliveries from international depositories.

Not only has silver reached a new high, but gold is also moving in the same direction. Amid this rally of traditional assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum have fallen sharply following the recent Crypto Black Friday event. Silver’s market capitalization has now risen to the top tier of global assets, surpassing bitcoin.

Silver’s market cap has overtaken Bitcoin’s. Source: 8marketcap.The price trajectories of these two seemingly unrelated asset classes are now moving in opposite directions. This divergence is prompting investors to ask: Are we witnessing the beginning of a “bear market” for crypto versus silver?

“Gold and silver continue to melt up as Bitcoin and Ether continue to melt down. Crypto buyers are in for a rude awakening and will soon learn a very valuable but expensive lesson. Fortunately, most crypto owners are young with lots of time to earn back what they’re about to lose,” a prominent economist Peter Schiff shared.

Technical data also paints a concerning picture for Bitcoin. Analyst Northstar observed that cryptocurrencies peaked against silver four years ago. Since their 2021 highs, the Bitcoin/silver ratio has continued to decline — and now it’s plunging once again.

“Objectively, the entire crypto market now appears to be entering a bear market versus silver,” Northstar said.

Correlation between the silver and crypto markets: Source: NorthstarSome investors share stories of painful losses, like a trader who lost 80% of their portfolio value within hours during the recent Crypto Black Friday. Ironically, this trader had once been a “silver warrior” before selling at $39 to chase high-risk crypto assets.

When Tangible Assets Rise and Challenge Digital ConvictionThis trend reflects a cyclical rotation between physical and digital assets. Amid growing fears of recession and persistently high interest rates, investors are returning to traditional safe havens. Commodity strategist Mike McGlone previously predicted that the next downturn — potentially arriving in Q4 2025 — could trigger a “mean reversion” for the crypto market, which has grown too quickly relative to its intrinsic value.

The rise of silver is due not only to its physical scarcity but also a shift in investor psychology — fears surrounding the US financial system and soaring debt are driving investors toward “real” assets.

Veteran investor Max Keiser, however, maintains that Bitcoin remains the superior scarce asset, capable of outperforming everything else in the long run. Despite Bitcoin’s recent volatility, investors may return to Bitcoin as gold and silver become increasingly challenging to acquire over the longer horizon.

“As Gold & Silver disappears from the market, unobtainable at any price, frustrated buyers will turn to Bitcoin.”

Elon Musk waded back into the money-meets-energy debate on X today, endorsing Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

The Tesla CEO replied to a viral ZeroHedge thread that framed artificial intelligence as a government-funded arms race that will turbocharge monetary debasement. “True. That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy,” Musk wrote, aligning BTC’s value proposition with physical power constraints.

Minutes later, when community account Sir Doge of the Coin (@dogeofficialceo) added, “Dogecoin is also based on energy,” Musk replied with a simple “💯,” his first explicit nod toward DOGE in a while, rekindling a long-running price-sensitivity question around his posts.

Dogecoin is also based on energy pic.twitter.com/E8BMmAIdm9

— Sir Doge of the Coin ⚔️ (@dogeofficialceo) October 14, 2025

The market reaction, however, was muted. As of press time, Dogecoin traded near $0.196, lower on the day alongside broader crypto risk, with Bitcoin and Ethereum also in the red. Bitcoin was down on the session near $111k, while Ethereum slipped below $4k, underscoring a risk-off tape that likely blunted any “Musk effect” impulse.

Musk’s DOGE remarks arrive amid a separate swirl of Dogecoin-adjacent headlines that caught Washington’s and Wall Street’s attention over the last 48 hours. Representative Matt Gaetz amplified a viral thread, asking, “Is DOGE about to become the world’s great utility token? After being a meme?!” — a rhetorical riff that referenced news circulating about a planned public-markets pivot by House of Doge as the “corporate arm” of the Dogecoin Foundation.

Is DOGE about to become the world’s great utility token?

After being a meme?! https://t.co/wVXO7eijss

— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) October 13, 2025

House of Doge intends to list on Nasdaq via a merger with Brag House Holdings under the ticker TBH, and they also tie House of Doge to a growing Dogecoin treasury effort at CleanCore Solutions, newly branded on the NYSE American as ZONE. The October 13 releases further assert that CleanCore now holds 730 million+ DOGE, targeting up to 1 billion DOGE in the near term and, longer-run, “up to 5%” of circulating supply.

Why Hasn’t The Dogecoin Price Reacted Positively?
Historically, Musk’s DOGE interactions have triggered sharp, if often fleeting, price responses. During late 2024, for example, a single “true” reply in a payments-context thread coincided with a pop as traders extrapolated X-payments tie-ins, and the October 2024 launch of a dedicated account for its payments initiative on X.

More recently, in June 2025, DOGE jumped 3% after Musk defused a political spat. The common denominator: reflexive liquidity and headline-driven order flow that fades unless there’s a real impact on the meme coin. Today’s sequence fits that pattern — a high-engagement Musk quip, immediate social virality, but price constrained by macro tape and the absence of a concurrent, verifiable product or policy reveal.

So why didn’t DOGE “go to the moon” on the 💯? First, the tape matters. With majors heavy, meme-beta typically underperforms. Second, the information content of the post is modest: Musk endorsed an energy-based framing and acknowledged a community meme — not a new X Payments feature, not a Tesla-commerce integration, not a tangible DOGE settlement rail. Markets have learned to differentiate between tone and transaction.

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.19862.

The crypto market suffered a devastating $19 billion wipeout as XRP and Bitcoin (BTC) were caught in a brutal sell-off that shocked traders worldwide. Within minutes, XRP wiped out over 50% of its value, dropping down to $0.77 before partially rebounding, marking one of its steepest intraday losses in history. While early reports blamed political tensions following US President Donald Trump’s sudden tariff on Chinese imports, data now suggests that the crash was amplified by a major glitch in Binance’s internal pricing system, and other contributing technical factors. 

Catalysts Behind The XRP Price Crash And Crypto And Bitcoin Meltdown
Between October 10 and 11, XRP experienced a violent flash crash on Binance, plunging over 54% in a single 30-minute candle. In less than 24 hours, over a million traders were also liquidated. This unprecedented drop came during what analysts are now calling “the worst crypto liquidation event in crypto history,” with nearly $19.3 billion in open positions wiped out in a single day.

At first, much of the blame was directed at Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese tech imports, which triggered a wave of panic across global risk assets. However, the XRP and broader market collapse went far beyond normal macro-driven volatility. On-chain analysts traced the sequence to a $60 million spot market dump on Binance, which set off an internal pricing malfunction. Binance’s oracle system, which marks collateral values such as wBETH, BNSOL, and USDe, momentarily failed, possibly leading to forced liquidations across XRP and other major crypto assets.

This oracle mispricing allegedly turned a $60 million order into a $19 billion loss. XRP, being one of Binance’s most heavily leveraged assets, absorbed a significant amount of the impact as margin calls liquidated thousands of positions within minutes. A whale had reportedly opened $1 billion in short positions just before the Trump tariff announcement, adding more suspicion and fuel to the collapse. Binance later confirmed abnormal pricing and paid $283 million in restitution, but the damage to XRP and the broader market was already done. 

A Deeper Dive Into The Market-Wide Crash
Analysts say that the root cause of the $19 billion crypto market crash was Binance’s “Unified Account” system, which priced collateral using internal data instead of decentralized oracles. Between October 6 and 14, Binance was transitioning to oracle-based pricing, creating an exploitable 8-day gap. During that period, coordinated actors reportedly dumped $60 million to $90 million in USDe exclusively on Binance, driving its price to $0.65 while it stayed near $1 on other exchanges.

This artificial depeg within Binance’s system triggered widespread panic, as attackers were said to hold $1.1 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum shorts on decentralized exchanges, profiting about $192 million as prices plunged. Analysts noted that Ethena’s USDe remained fully collateralized on all other exchanges, proving that the issue allegedly stemmed from Binance’s infrastructure, not the stablecoin. 

The combination of technical flaws, alleged manipulation, and tariff-driven fear transformed a contained exploit into a market-wide catastrophe. Despite the chaos, analysts remain cautiously optimistic about XRP’s recovery, predicting a strong rally to new ATHs soon.

Bitcoin price corrected losses and traded above the $115,000 level. BTC is now struggling and might start another decline below $110,000.

Bitcoin started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $116,000 resistance level.
The price is trading below $115,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.
There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $118,250 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
The pair might continue to move down if it trades below the $110,500 zone.

Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance
Bitcoin price started a recovery wave above the $112,000 resistance level. BTC recovered above the $112,500 and $113,200 resistance levels.

The price climbed above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $122,498 swing high to the $100,000 low. The bulls even pushed the price above the $115,000 resistance level. However, there are many hurdles on the upside.

Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $114,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $115,000 level. The next resistance could be $116,000. A close above the $116,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $117,200 resistance and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $122,498 swing high to the $100,000 low. Any more gains might send the price toward the $117,250 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $118,500.

Another Drop In BTC?
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $116,000 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Immediate support is near the $111,800 level. The first major support is near the $110,500 level.

The next support is now near the $110,200 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $108,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $107,000, below which BTC might struggle to recover in the short term.

Look past the hype and access whether it has strong fundamentals.

With shares up 2,500% over the last 12 months, Quantum Computing (QUBT 1.42%) is sure to attract the attention of growth-focused investors. The stock is surging based on industrywide optimism. But is this rally driven by fundamentals or hype? Let's dig deeper into the pros and cons of Quantum Computing, also known as QCi, to decide if the shares are a solid long-term buy.

What is special about quantum computing?
Quantum computing is a branch of computer science and physics that aims to create devices capable of solving the world's most difficult problems exponentially faster than today's fastest supercomputers. And we aren't talking 30 minutes faster; we are talking over a million years faster. If the technology works, it will allow humans to do things that were previously impossible with current technology.

It doesn't take a supercomputer to see the vast commercial opportunities that viable quantum computers could unlock. Analysts expect them to help rapidly discover new pharmaceutical drug candidates and chemical structures, and even help train artificial intelligence (AI) models.

Quantum Computing (QCi) aims to position itself on the picks-and-shovels side of this opportunity, supplying hardware products like chips, sensors, and communication devices. It also claims to have the first of its kind foundry for processing thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN), a next-generation material useful for advanced telecommunication platforms.

QCi's TFLN foundry is located in Tempe, Arizona, and its made-in-America approach could attract government support amid the accelerating technology arms race between the U.S. and China.

But what about the fundamentals?
While cutting-edge technologies often sound exciting, it is essential to remember that they won't always translate to commercial success, especially in the near term. Furthermore, the start-ups with the most valuable patents and processes are often acquired by larger companies or kept private to maximize returns for their owners. So when small speculative companies like QCi go public, it's important to ask why.

Image source: Getty Images.

The company's second-quarter earnings report gives some clues about the pressure it is under. Revenue collapsed 67% year over year to just $61,000 (that's less than the median annual salary of a U.S. tech worker). Meanwhile, operating costs are spiraling out of control, with research and development more than doubling to $5.98 million.

As a speculative tech company, QCi probably can't trim its research and development outflows too much without risking falling behind other players in the industry. And it is important to note that quantum computing is shaping up to be a competitive arena, with tech giants like Alphabet and Nvidia also aiming to establish themselves in the picks-and-shovels niche. These larger, well-capitalized companies will be able to spend more on research and leverage larger supply chains.

Is Quantum Computing a millionaire-maker stock?
QCi is clearly under a lot of pressure because of its minuscule revenue, heavy losses, and the pressure to keep up its research spending. By going public, management now has the ability to raise more money by creating and selling more units of its own stock. While this strategy keeps the business afloat, it can hurt existing shareholders by diluting their ownership stake in the company and their claim on its future profits.

In August, QCi announced a $500 million share offering, which increased its share count by a jaw-dropping 26.9 million. And the company already has 159,883,187 shares outstanding as of the second quarter. Expect this number to continue expanding over time.

While QCi could potentially be a millionaire-maker stock in the right conditions, the risks far outweigh the rewards right now. And fundamentals-focused investors should look for better opportunities.

Oct 15 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell in early trade on Wednesday, extending losses from the previous session, as investors weighed the International Energy Agency's warning of a supply surplus in 2026 and U.S.-China trade tensions that could hurt demand.

Brent crude futures fell 12 cents, or 0.19%, to $62.27 a barrel by 0021 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures declined by 10 cents, or 0.17%, to $58.60.

Both contracts closed at five-month lows in the previous trading session.

The International Energy Agency said on Tuesday the global oil market could face a surplus next year of as much as 4 million barrels per day, a bigger glut than it earlier expected, as OPEC+ producers and rivals raise output and demand remains sluggish.

Weighing on the demand outlook, the United States and China began imposing additional port fees on ocean carriers, while Beijing also announced sanctions against five U.S.-linked subsidiaries of South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean.

Trade tensions between the world's two largest economies intensified last week after China announced a major expansion of rare earth export controls and President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 100% and tighten software export curbs from Nov. 1.

"Beyond U.S.-China trade relations and the progress of talks, the key for oil prices now is the degree of oversupply, reflected in changes in global inventories," said Yang An, analyst at Haitong Futures.

For a view on U.S. demand, traders will be awaiting weekly inventory data. U.S. crude oil stockpiles are expected to have risen last week, while gasoline and distillate inventories likely fell, a preliminary Reuters poll showed.

Six analysts polled by Reuters estimated on average that crude inventories rose by about 200,000 barrels in the week to October 10.

The weekly industry report from the American Petroleum Institute is expected at 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 GMT) on Wednesday, and U.S. Energy Information Administration data at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT) on Thursday.

Both reports are delayed by a day due to the Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day holiday on Monday.

The claim that JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) "fixed" silver prices has fueled heated debates among retail investors. Here's a timely look at the facts behind the controversy as silver hits new all-time highs. 

Shares of the SLV ETF are soaring. See the details here. 
The conspiracy theory that gained traction in online forums, such as 4chan and Reddit's r/WallStreetBets, paints a picture of the nation's largest bank secretly controlling silver's price — however, the truth is far more complicated.

Market Manipulation Between 2008 and 2016, JPMorgan and several of its traders did engage in illegal market manipulation involving precious metals, including silver — but not in the way many online theories suggest.

Benzinga reached out to JPMorgan for comment, but did not receive an immediate response. 

SpoofingAfter an investigation, several U.S. regulators — including the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — found that some JPMorgan traders had engaged in a practice known as "spoofing" from 2008 to 2016, where they placed large orders for silver, gold and other metals futures they didn’t intend to execute. 

The intent was to create false impressions of demand or supply, tricking other traders and influencing the market price for short-term profit. 

This form of manipulation is illegal under U.S. trading laws, and several of the bank's traders were sentenced to prison for participating in the scheme.

It was not a coordinated attempt to fix silver prices at a particular level — unlike the historical "London Gold Fix" or other classic price-fixing agreements. Instead, it was a series of deceptive trades designed to move prices momentarily, allowing traders to profit from short-term fluctuations. 

Read Next: Rigetti, D-Wave, IonQ Could Get JPMorgan’s Support—Quantum Stocks Take Off

Not Price-Fixing Regulators found that these spoofing activities did distort the markets, but they did not conclude that JPMorgan set or maintained a specific silver price over time.

In 2020, JPMorgan Chase admitted to committing wire fraud in connection with: (1) unlawful trading in the markets for precious metals futures contracts; and (2) unlawful trading in the markets for U.S. Treasury futures contracts and in the secondary (cash) market for U.S. Treasury notes and bonds.  

The nation's largest bank also agreed to pay nearly $1 billion in fines to settle the investigations. 

Conspiracy TheoriesThe gap between the legal reality and the online conspiracy arose largely from public frustration and distrust of major banks after the 2008 financial crisis. Communities such as r/WallStreetBets and r/Silverbugs — known for their suspicion of Wall Street institutions — interpreted JPMorgan's massive position in silver and the record fine as evidence of a broader plot to suppress silver's value. 

The theories flourished on social media, especially during moments when silver prices stagnated despite inflationary fears or heavy retail buying.

Read Next: Retail Investors’ Top Stocks With Earnings This Week: Fastenal, ASML, TSMC And More

In reality, JPMorgan's wrongdoing involved unethical and illegal manipulation for trader profits, not a grand plan to keep silver undervalued. 

The billion-dollar fine and criminal convictions show that regulators took the misconduct seriously. 

But the notion that the bank systematically "fixed" or controlled silver prices to suppress investors is largely a myth rooted in mistrust rather than fact.

Silver Stocks and ETFsSilver surged in October to new all-time highs above $51 per ounce, surpassing the previous highs set in January 1980 (about $49.45 per ounce) and 2011 (near $49 per ounce). 

The historic rally has even seen silver briefly trade above $52.50 and $53 in London, eclipsing all prior benchmarks. 

The silver rally has also led to significant attention toward silver-related equities and ETFs, like the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:SLV), which tracks the spot price of silver. 

Investors can also consider the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:SIL) which provides access to leading mining companies like Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE:WPM) and Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE:PAAS).

A little over four months after the removal of an asset cap that had been imposed by the Federal Reserve, Wells Fargo aims to shift the conversation from the improvements it made to earn that achievement to the work it has done to improve growth and returns.

“Wells Fargo, without the regulatory constraints and with the changes we have made, is a significantly more attractive company than what we were several years ago, and we believe this positions us for continued higher growth and returns,” Wells Fargo Chairman and CEO Charlie Scharf said Tuesday (Oct. 14) during the bank’s quarterly earnings call.

The asset cap that was removed by the Federal Reserve on June 3 was imposed in February 2018 as part of an enforcement action after a scandal that included Wells Fargo opening accounts without customer permission. The asset cap prevented the bank from growing its assets beyond its 2017 level until it addressed “widespread consumer abuses.”

While Wells Fargo enhanced its risk and control infrastructure to have 13 consent orders terminated since 2019, it has also made “substantial progress” in other areas during that period of time and is “a different company than we were five years ago,” the bank said in a presentation released Tuesday.

Wells Fargo has simplified its business by selling or exiting 12 businesses to focus on its core franchise; reduced expenses; and invested in people, technology and products to improve its capabilities and offerings, according to the presentation.

Looking ahead, the bank sees opportunities to grow revenue through the scale of its franchise and the breadth and quality of its products and capabilities; continue to boost its efficiency; and invest in businesses with higher returns, such as credit card, wealth management, and corporate and investment banking, per the presentation.
