Bitcoin has typically recorded its strongest month for gains in November, and there are certainly macro tailwinds to make it happen again. Bitcoin has stepped into its historically most significant month for gains — November — with an average increase of 42.51% since 2013 — meaning Bitcoin could surpass $160,000 this month if history rhymes.  However, a crypto analyst noted that several macroeconomic factors are also at play.  “I do think seasonal charts matter a lot, but it has to be combined with a lot of other factors,” said crypto analyst Markus Thielen from 10x Research.  Read more

The lack of understanding about Bitcoin's economic properties will result in a market dump at the first sign of trouble, Vineet Budki said. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) will continue to experience cyclical booms and busts, resulting in a drawdown of up to 70% during the next market downturn, according to Vineet Budki, CEO of venture firm Sigma Capital. There will be a BTC retracement of 65% to 70% in the next two years because traders do not understand the asset they are holding, Budki told Cointelegraph at the Global Blockchain Congress 2025 in Dubai, UAE. He said: Despite this, Budki still forecasts that Bitcoin will reach $1 million or more per coin within the next 10 years and stated that user adoption will grow from a combination of price speculation and, more importantly, real-world BTC use cases.  Read more

Borderless Capital’s Amit Mehra said quantum computing remains years away from threatening Bitcoin, though rapid advances could make post-quantum security urgent. Although still in its “infancy,” quantum computing could pose a threat to Bitcoin and other proof-of-work algorithms in the near future, according to Amit Mehra, a partner at venture capital firm Borderless Capital. When asked what trends Borderless Capital was following, Mehra, speaking to Cointelegraph at Global Blockchain Congress Dubai 2025, said the company was  “diving deep into quantum compute” and looking at how companies are developing quantum resistance technology.  Mehra said quantum computing will take until the end of the decade to develop. Still, he said, people tend to underestimate the rapid evolution of technology: Read more

Michael Saylor still foresees a $150,000 Bitcoin price by the end of the year, despite temporary concerns with import tariff escalations. This week started with a promising cryptocurrency market recovery after a $19 billion market crash earlier in the month, as demand for digital assets started rising with a potential end to the tariff wars on the horizon. Crypto investor attention was largely focused on US President Donald Trump’s meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping, aimed at securing a trade deal to avert new import tariffs. However, the positive momentum took a sharp turn on Wednesday, when Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted $470 million in outflows despite the US Federal Reserve decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points.

Bitcoin absorbs volatility better than before, but the cost-basis zone remains crucial for continued upside.

This month saw the first “Uptober” in seven years to finish with Bitcoin in the red. Meanwhile, BNB takes off thanks to memecoins. Bitcoin (BTC) is about to disappoint investors, as it’s on the verge of ending October, a historically good month, in the red. Meanwhile, BNB Chain has seen record activity as token prices jumped at the beginning of October. In the EU, the territory is still shifting as countries decide whether to support the “Chat Control” proposal, with nine opposing it outright. Concern over the lack of support saw lawmakers in Brussels delay their decision on the controversial regulation until December. While the US government shutdown has ground to a halt most federal business, including decisions on crypto exchange-traded projects, crypto bills in four states moved ahead this month. Read more

Canaan will supply 4.5 megawatts of water-cooled Bitcoin mining ASICs to a Japanese engineering firm for real-time grid balancing and energy optimization. Mining hardware producer Canaan won a contract to supply 4.5 megawatts (MW) of Bitcoin mining application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for a project designed to help stabilize Japan’s electric grid. According to a Thursday announcement, the company will supply an electrical engineering solutions provider Bitcoin mining ASICs with a capacity of 4.5 MW. The project will deploy Canaan’s new Avalon A1566HA-488T water-cooled mining ASICs for “real-time grid balancing and energy-efficiency optimization,” Canaan said. The mining operation will run continuously and utilize controlled overclocking and underclocking, adjusting power consumption to stabilize the regional grid load. Canaan’s proprietary control systems will dynamically adjust frequency, voltage and hashrate to match power supply and demand. Read more
