According to Fixygen, the global cryptocurrency market is ending the last week of October 2026 with a decline in major digital assets amid renewed capital outflows from cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Bitcoin fell below $78,000, Ethereum traded near $2,250, and the most significant pressure on the market occurred on October 29–30.
According to CoinMarketCap’s historical data for October 30, the price of Bitcoin stood at $77,198, down 4.78% over seven days. Ethereum fell 6% to $2,241. Meanwhile, BNB lost 4.8% and traded at around $703.

Price and weekly trends based on historical data from CoinMarketCap as of October 30, 2026.
Bitcoin’s price remained relatively stable at the start of the week. After closing at around $80,000 on October 25, the price rose to $81,250 on October 28, but fell to approximately $77,800 on October 29. During trading on October 30, the price dropped to $76,200, according to OpenBitcoin data.
The most significant drop occurred in the second half of the week, when buyers were unable to keep Bitcoin above $80,000. Ethereum’s decline was even more pronounced, indicating increased pressure not only on the leading cryptocurrency but also on the market for alternative digital assets.
One of the biggest factors putting pressure on the cryptocurrency market was a large-scale cyberattack on Binance. According to the exchange’s official statement on October 30, on October 29 at approximately 8:05 p.m. UTC, attackers gained access to the platform’s hot wallets and withdrew digital assets worth approximately $6.3 billion.
The attack affected various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, USDT, and USDC. The exchange temporarily suspended withdrawals and began cooperating with law enforcement agencies, blockchain analytics firms, and token issuers.
As of the evening of October 30, Binance reported that it had frozen approximately $3 billion in stolen assets. The company also announced that it had allocated more than $6.34 billion of its own funds to cover the consequences of the attack, including $5 billion in the form of digital assets that had been lost.
Binance management promised to compensate users for their losses using corporate reserves and the SAFU user protection fund. Meanwhile, the investigation into the attack’s mechanism continued. The initial theory that an employee’s work computer had been compromised was supplemented with information about other possible points of entry.
The scale of the incident heightened investors’ concerns about the security of centralized cryptocurrency platforms. The timeline for resuming withdrawals, the possibility of recovering the stolen assets, and the publication of the exchange’s verified reserves took on added significance for the market.
A second key factor behind the market decline was a shift in capital flows into U.S. spot cryptocurrency ETFs.
According to statistics from Farside Investors, during the trading week of October 26–30, net outflows from Bitcoin ETFs totaled approximately $202.4 million, while Ethereum funds lost $431.4 million. The combined outflow from these two categories reached approximately $633.8 million.
Millions of dollars, October 26–30, 2026. Negative values indicate outflows.
However, the performance of the funds was mixed. From October 26 to 29, Bitcoin ETFs attracted a total of approximately $440.8 million. However, on October 30, investors withdrew $643.2 million from them, completely offsetting the inflows of the previous four days.
The largest outflows during the week’s final trading session were recorded in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ($233.7 million), Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund ($201 million), and ARK’s 21Shares Bitcoin ETF ($129.5 million).
Ethereum funds showed negative flows on all five trading days. The most notable weekly outflow occurred in BlackRock’s products.
This trend indicates that institutional demand in late October was unable to offset investors’ growing caution. Ethereum proved particularly vulnerable, as it simultaneously faced falling prices and sustained capital outflows from ETFs.
An additional source of uncertainty was the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision on October 28 to keep the benchmark interest rate in the 3.75–4% range.
According to the official statement from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the U.S. economy continues to grow at a strong pace, though inflation remains elevated. Two committee members advocated for a rate hike of 0.25 percentage points.
The maintenance of relatively tight monetary conditions limits the appeal of speculative assets, which investors continue to classify as including cryptocurrencies.
At the end of the week, the situation was further complicated by a downturn in the tech sector. Investors reacted negatively to certain corporate earnings reports and the capital expenditure outlook for major tech companies.
As CoinDesk noted on October 29, the decline in tech stocks was accompanied by massive position liquidations in the cryptocurrency market. Over the course of a day, the volume of liquidations on cryptocurrency futures reached $356 million, of which approximately $205 million came from long positions.
The market capitalization of the largest cryptocurrencies declined, while stablecoins maintained significant market capitalization
According to CoinMarketCap data as of October 30, Bitcoin’s market capitalization stood at approximately $1.55 trillion, Ethereum’s at $273.8 billion, and BNB’s at $92.5 billion.
The market capitalization of the largest stablecoin, USDT, stood at $179.9 billion. Its price remained close to $1, which distinguishes the performance of dollar-pegged stablecoins from that of crypto assets, which have fallen significantly in value. At the same time, a large-scale cyberattack on Binance once again drew attention to the role of stablecoin issuers in freezing stolen tokens.
According to a Reuters investigation on October 30, coordination between cryptocurrency companies and token issuers made it possible to quickly freeze a significant portion of the stolen funds. However, the ability to similarly freeze Bitcoin itself remains significantly limited.
Thus, the last week of October brought a combination of several negative factors for the cryptocurrency market: a large-scale hack of a major exchange, an outflow of institutional capital, the Fed’s relatively tight monetary policy, and a decline in investor risk appetite.
The prospects for a recovery in early November will depend not only on technical price movements but, above all, on the ability of the cryptocurrency infrastructure to restore market participants’ confidence.

Binance, BITCOIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY, ETF, Ethereum, INVESTMENTS
In early November 2026, the global cryptocurrency market may attempt a recovery following Bitcoin’s drop below $78,000; however, the prospects for growth will depend on the situation surrounding Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange, the trend in institutional investments, and the overall state of global financial markets, according to the Fixygen portal.
By the end of the last week of October, Bitcoin had lost about 4.8% of its value, falling to $77,200, while Ethereum declined by approximately 6% to $2,240. Most of the decline occurred in the second half of the week, when the market faced a large-scale cyberattack on Binance and an intensification of capital outflows from U.S. spot cryptocurrency ETFs.
During November 2–8, the nearest indicative price zones for Bitcoin could be $76,000–78,000 and $80,000–82,000. These ranges correspond to recent trading lows and highs and are regarded as potential areas of support and resistance.
A return of Bitcoin above the psychologically important $80,000 level, accompanied by a recovery in positive capital flows into ETFs, could indicate strengthening demand and create conditions for a further increase in prices toward $82,000.
At the same time, a sustained move below $76,000 could intensify selling pressure and increase the likelihood of a continued correction. Such a scenario could materialize if cryptocurrency platforms experience new liquidity problems or institutional investments decline further.
One of the main events of the coming week will be the publication of an updated Proof of Reserves report by Binance, scheduled for November 2. The company intends to provide information on the availability of digital assets to cover its obligations to customers following the October 29 cyberattack, which resulted in the theft of cryptocurrencies worth approximately $6.3 billion.
According to Binance’s official statement of October 30, the company has set aside more than $6.34 billion of its own funds to cover losses, including $5 billion directly in the affected digital assets. In addition, approximately $3 billion in stolen funds has been frozen in cooperation with industry partners.
The exchange also plans to gradually restore cryptocurrency withdrawals after completing additional security checks. The speed at which operations resume, the results of the Proof of Reserves report, and customer reactions could become important factors influencing sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.
Investors will also focus additional attention on U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. During the trading week of October 26–30, net outflows from these funds totaled $202.4 million. On October 30, investors withdrew $643.2 million, completely offsetting the positive flows of the previous four trading days.
A resumption of sustained capital inflows into ETFs could become one of the signals of returning institutional demand. Conversely, continued outflows could limit the recovery in prices even if the situation surrounding Binance normalizes.
Another factor remains the monetary policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve. The maintenance of relatively high interest rates supports the attractiveness of dollar-denominated financial instruments and may restrain investor interest in riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies.
As a result, two main scenarios are possible in early November. If confidence in Binance recovers, institutional flows stabilize, and conditions in stock markets improve, Bitcoin could attempt to return to the $80,000–82,000 range. If capital outflows from ETFs persist and new problems arise on cryptocurrency platforms, the market risks continuing its decline.
At the same time, the indicated price targets are scenario-based estimates derived from recent market dynamics rather than guaranteed levels of future prices.
Binance, BITCOIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY, ETF, FORECAST, INVESTMENTS
According to Fixygen, the cryptocurrency market continues to decline following a rough week. Bitcoin has once again fallen below the psychological threshold of $80,000, while Ethereum remains under pressure from investors.
According to CoinPaprika as of 11:00–11:30 UTC:
Bitcoin (BTC) — approximately $79,750, down 0.7% over the past 24 hours.
Ethereum (ETH) — approximately $2,318, down 0.5%.
Solana (SOL) — approximately $100.
The total market capitalization of the crypto market is approximately $2.8 trillion.
During the week of October 19–23, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $301.2 million, while investors withdrew $220.7 million from Ethereum-focused funds.
However, the trend proved to be extremely volatile: on October 22 alone, outflows from Bitcoin ETFs reached $635.6 million.
On October 26, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs again saw $110.3 million in net inflows, with the entire amount coming from BlackRock’s IBIT fund. At the same time, investors withdrew another $88.6 million from Ethereum ETFs.
Thus, large investors remain interested in Bitcoin, but a sustained recovery in demand for cryptocurrencies has not yet been observed.
The main event in the coming days is the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting on October 27–28.
The Fed’s decisions on interest rates and statements regarding future monetary policy could significantly impact digital asset prices.
A rate cut or softer rhetoric from the regulator could support demand for risky investments. Conversely, hawkish signals from the Fed could intensify pressure on cryptocurrencies.
The key price benchmark remains the $80,000 level per Bitcoin. A return above this level could signal market stabilization, while a prolonged decline would increase the risk of a further correction.
At the same time, the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve: BlackRock is preparing a new investment fund with partial protection against a Bitcoin decline, and major banks are expanding the use of digital assets in payment systems.
The market is simultaneously undergoing a price correction and a new phase in the development of institutional infrastructure.
According to Fixygen, the American investment firm BlackRock has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register a new exchange-traded fund, the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF, which will allow investors to profit from Bitcoin’s price appreciation while partially limiting the risk of losses.
According to the fund’s preliminary prospectus published on the SEC’s website, the new instrument is planned to be listed on the exchange under the ticker symbol PBIT. Its strategy involves participating in the appreciation of the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT)—BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin fund—or other Bitcoin-related instruments, while simultaneously limiting potential losses.
Unlike a traditional spot Bitcoin ETF, which directly holds the cryptocurrency, the new fund will not purchase Bitcoin or shares of other cryptocurrency exchange-traded products. Instead, it intends to use a combination of options and fixed-income instruments.
The investment strategy will be based on call options, which generate returns when the underlying asset’s value rises. BlackRock plans to simultaneously buy and sell such options, creating what are known as option spreads.
This structure helps limit potential losses if the price of Bitcoin falls, but at the same time sets an upper limit on returns in the event of a significant rise in the cryptocurrency’s price.
According to preliminary documentation, BlackRock intends to create three overlapping option portfolios with different start dates. Typically, one of the portfolios will expire each month, and a new one will be formed to replace it.
For each such portfolio, an initial protection level is provided, under which potential losses from changes in the value of the underlying asset are approximately limited to 10% at the time of option purchase, excluding commissions and expenses.
At the same time, the company emphasizes that this does not constitute a guaranteed capital protection at the fund level. The level of potential losses may vary depending on market conditions, the timing of unit purchases, and the terms of the option contracts.
The fund plans to allocate the remaining portion of its assets to cash, money market instruments, short-term government bonds, and other investment-grade debt securities.
The interest income generated is expected to be used to partially cover the costs of option strategies and mitigate potential investment losses.
BlackRock warns that the new product is not designed to completely eliminate the risks associated with Bitcoin. Given the sharp volatility of the cryptocurrency market, investors may lose some or all of their invested capital.
A key difference between the new fund and a conventional Bitcoin ETF lies in the nature of its returns. Holders of spot funds receive returns directly linked to the cryptocurrency’s price movements, net of expenses. Investors in the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF will participate in the growth of the underlying asset only to the extent determined by the options strategy.
Thus, in the event of a significant rise in Bitcoin’s price, the new fund’s returns may turn out to be significantly lower than the cryptocurrency’s own performance. At the same time, the strategy is designed to mitigate the effects of a market downturn.
The proposed product will expand BlackRock’s lineup of cryptocurrency investment instruments, which in January 2024 launched the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, a spot fund, under the ticker IBIT.
In June 2026, the company also introduced the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, designed to generate income from option premiums.
The new strategy differs from both of these instruments in that it combines limited exposure to Bitcoin’s price appreciation with a mechanism that provides partial protection against price declines.
The development of such products reflects the expansion of the institutional cryptocurrency investment market. Asset management firms offer investors not only direct exposure to digital assets through exchange-traded funds but also instruments with various combinations of return and risk.
For institutional investors, investment advisors, and holders of diversified portfolios, such products may be of interest as an alternative to direct ownership of cryptocurrency.
At the same time, protection mechanisms entail additional costs and limitations on returns, so their economic efficiency depends on market conditions.
According to the registration documents, BlackRock expects the application to take effect 75 days after its submission. However, the preliminary prospectus contains blank fields, particularly regarding the fund’s management fee.
Registration does not yet constitute approval to sell shares. The SEC has not approved the new investment product, and the final launch date has not yet been announced.
BlackRock is one of the world’s largest asset management companies. Through its iShares platform, the group offers a wide range of exchange-traded funds, including products based on stocks, bonds, commodities, and digital assets.
According to Fixygen, the global cryptocurrency market ended the week of October 19–25, 2026, with most major digital assets trading lower. Bitcoin fell to $80,000, Ethereum lost nearly 4% over seven days, and the total market capitalization stood at approximately $2.8 trillion.
The main factors driving these trends were volatile capital flows into U.S. cryptocurrency ETFs, heightened geopolitical uncertainty, and anticipation of the next U.S. Federal Reserve meeting.
According to CoinPaprika, as of October 25 at 10:00 UTC, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at around $80,250, down 2.1% over the past seven days. Ethereum (ETH) was trading at $2,326 thousand, down 3.8%, while Solana (SOL) was trading at around $100.9, down 2.9% for the week.
Among other major cryptocurrencies, BNB rose by approximately 2% to $736.9, while XRP fell by 0.3% to $1.294. Dogecoin dropped by 3.6% to $0.0765, and Chainlink fell by 5.7% to $11.32.
The total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market, according to CoinPaprika’s methodology, stood at approximately $2.81 trillion as of Sunday morning. Trading volume over the previous 24 hours reached $79.4 billion, and Bitcoin’s share of the total market value was estimated at 57.5%.
Meanwhile, the Fear & Greed Index stood at 54 points out of 100, indicating a neutral market sentiment. This figure suggests that neither optimistic nor pessimistic sentiment is clearly dominant, despite the decline in prices.
Bitcoin started the week near the $82,000 mark and, during the first trading days, attempted to recover from the decline that occurred in mid-October amid higher-than-expected U.S. inflation figures.
On October 21, BTC prices approached $85,000 but failed to break through that level. A subsequent correction pushed the cryptocurrency back to around $82,000, and the decline continued through the weekend.
On October 24, Bitcoin fell to approximately $80,400, after which the market attempted to stabilize.
As a result, by October 25, the leading cryptocurrency was once again near the psychologically significant $80,000 level. After two weeks of volatile price action, investors continue to assess the prospects for a recovery in institutional demand.
Ethereum showed weaker weekly performance compared to Bitcoin. The decline in ETH was accompanied by an outflow of funds from specialized exchange-traded funds, while investors in Bitcoin ETFs maintained a positive investment balance at the end of the trading week.
Solana also fell in price, despite the implementation of one of the most significant network upgrades in recent years.
One of the most important indicators of the week was the performance of U.S. spot exchange-traded funds investing in cryptocurrencies. According to data from Farside Investors, over the five trading days from October 19 to 23, net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs totaled approximately $301.2 million.
By comparison, during the previous week, October 12–16, investors withdrew approximately $228 million from these funds.
However, significant fluctuations were observed during the reporting period.
On October 19, net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs totaled $526.7 million; on October 20, $23.2 million; and on October 21, $524.8 million.
Over the next two days, the direction of the flows reversed. On October 22, investors withdrew $635.6 million, and on October 23, another approximately $137.9 million.
Thus, the positive weekly result was driven primarily by large inflows on Monday and Wednesday, which offset significant outflows in the second half of the week.
From October 19–23, approximately $220.7 million was withdrawn from U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs. Negative results were recorded on four out of five trading days, with the largest outflow occurring on October 22, when investors withdrew $110.6 million.
