Bitcoin and Ethereum saw gains as markets bounced back from yesterday’s slump, but the crypto market is still under pressure.

Summary
  • Crypto markets are bouncing back up after yesterday’s rate cut decision
  • The Federal Reserve is signaling a more cautious stance on inflation, indicating no further rate cuts
  • Spot crypto ETF outflows reach $600 million as investors reassess risk
  • Despite today’s uptick, Bitcoin is set to see its “Red October” in seven years

After a week of mostly downward pressure, crypto markets are finally bouncing up. Bitcoin is back above $109,000, while Ethereum reclaimed the $3,800 level, with major altcoins posting modest gains. Still, the slight recovery is clouded by the worsening macro outlook as Bitcoin sees its first “Red October” in seven years.

Bitcoin (BTC) was up 1.7% on Friday, October 31, trading at $109,225, bouncing back from the prior day’s slump. Ethereum (ETH) registered a similar gain, trading at $3,826, up 1.55%, while most other altcoins saw gains.

Crypto market sentiment is low as ‘Uptober’ disappoints

The day prior, Bitcoin was down to its weekly low of $106,000, despite the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 25bsp. While lower interest rates are favorable for the crypto market, most of the traders already expected it.

At the same time, Fed Chair Jerome Powell signalled a more cautious outlook on inflation, indicating that October’s rate cut might be the last this year. The shift in sentiment was coupled with major ETF outflows. Weekly Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reached $600 million by Friday, showing lowered risk tolerance in the crypto markets.

This news coincided with already low sentiment around crypto this week. “Uptober,” a term used for past October rallies, failed to materialize, and Bitcoin fell 15% from its October 6 all-time high. The decline saw it register a monthly decline of 6.5%.

‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure

The post ‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A “combo” ETF  Crypto ETF trailblazer  Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert has reacted to the approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund  (GDLC), the very first multi-crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), describing it as “groundbreaking.”  “Grayscale continues to be the first mover, driving new product innovations that bridge tradfi and digital assets,” Silbert said while commenting on the news.  Peter Mintzberg, chief executive officer at Graysacle, claims that the team behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset manager is working “expeditiously” in order to bring the product to the market.  A “combo” ETF  The ETF in question offers exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as several other major altcoins, including the Ripple-linked XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). XRP, for instance, has a 5.2% share of the fund, making it the third-largest constituent.  The fund initially debuted as a private placement for accredited investors back in early 2018, and its shares later became available on over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  In early July, the SEC approved the conversion of GDLC into an ETF, but it was then abruptly halted for a “review” shortly after this.  As of Sept. 17, the fund currently has a total of $915.6 million in assets.  Crypto ETF trailblazer  It is worth noting that Grayscale is usually credited with kickstarting the cryptocurrency ETF craze by winning its court case against the SEC.  The SEC ended up approving Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and then followed up with Ethereum ETFs.  Grayscale’s flagship GBTC currently boasts more than $20.5 billion in net assets, according to data provided by SoSoValue.  Source: https://u.today/groundbreaking-barry-silbert-reacts-to-approval-of-etf-with-xrp-exposure
