Ethereum fell 16.1% in October as U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded record monthly outflows, with withdrawals continuing for six consecutive trading sessions into November.
BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF experienced 580,145 ETH in outflows over the past month, while Bitmine staked 5.23 million ETH, representing approximately 86% of its holdings and worth $11.8 billion.
Bitmine's large-scale staking commitment could strengthen long-term institutional participation and generate an estimated $358 million in annual staking revenue, although persistent ETF outflows may continue pressuring ETH.
Bitcoin trades near $76,585 after four consecutive weekly declines, with persistent ETF outflows and the $6.3 billion Binance hack adding pressure to market sentiment.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643.2 million in outflows on October 30 and another $398.6 million on November 2, while QCP Capital identifies $76,000–$76,600 as critical support and $79,500–$80,500 as resistance.

Weakening institutional demand and uncertainty surrounding future U.S. crypto regulation could continue to pressure Bitcoin despite its resilience following the security breach.
ETHGas is developing a service that lets Wall Street institutions reserve Ethereum blockspace in advance, offering more predictable transaction execution while keeping settlement on Ethereum's public network.
The project reports approximately $800 million in blockspace commitments, while qualified validators currently cover only 5% of Ethereum's network, with a target of 20% to 30% or more by year-end.
Institutional Blockspace could attract traditional financial institutions and additional capital to Ethereum, although limited validator coverage and the absence of identified banks using the service in production remain significant hurdles.
Central banks accelerated gold purchases to 321 metric tons in the third quarter, marking the fastest buying pace since late 2024 as geopolitical risks and fiscal concerns strengthened institutional demand.
Year-to-date central bank purchases are 6% higher than last year, while gold-backed ETF holdings reached a record 4,256 tons following $31 billion in quarterly inflows.
Continued central bank accumulation and institutional investment could support gold demand, although higher interest rates and weakening jewelry and retail demand may limit upside.

Stablecoin market capitalization declined $6.9 billion to $263.4 billion over the past month, while the Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped to 26, indicating Fear.
Ethereum's resilience and BitMine's additional 8,573 ETH purchase could support bullish expectations, but continued stablecoin outflows may pressure a sustained market recovery.
Liquid Network has restored full 1:1 Bitcoin backing for all LBTC, closing the reserve gap left by a roughly $320 million exploit nearly two months ago.
Blockstream supplied the remaining 550 BTC through two deposits of 300 BTC and 250 BTC, bringing the Federation's reserves back to full backing after approximately 600 BTC remained outstanding.
The restoration could strengthen confidence in Liquid's Bitcoin-backed infrastructure, although uncertainty remains over whether all direct Federation peg-out restrictions have been lifted.

Central banks accelerated gold purchases to 321 metric tons in the third quarter, marking the fastest buying pace since late 2024 as geopolitical risks and fiscal concerns strengthened institutional demand. Year-to-date central bank purchases are now 6% above last year's level, while gold-backed ETF inflows reached 211 tons and holdings climbed to a record 4,256 tons. Continued official-sector accumulation and geopolitical uncertainty could support gold demand despite higher interest rates and near-term price pressure.
Binance recorded $2.3 billion in net inflows over 24 hours, reversing more than $7 billion in net outflows on Monday as withdrawals resumed following last week's $6.3 billion hack. The exchange said hourly deposits were exceeding withdrawals by 03:00 UTC, while approximately 95% of affected assets had been replaced and Binance pledged to cover remaining losses using company resources and protection funds. The sharp reversal in capital flows could signal recovering user confidence and help stabilize sentiment across the broader crypto market.
MEXC has upgraded its Futures Earn product, allowing retail traders to earn interest on eligible futures account balances while keeping their funds available for trading, with maximum advertised APR reaching 20%. The upgrade introduces visualized reward rules, scenario-based guidance and an earnings calculator, while supporting eligible USDT- and USDE-margined futures pairs with no minimum trading volume requirement. The improved product could attract additional retail capital to MEXC and increase demand for its futures trading services, although adoption and actual returns remain uncertain.
Reports of U.S. military strikes on Iran's Qeshm island in the Strait of Hormuz reignited geopolitical uncertainty, reversing some of the oil-market relief triggered by peace-talk mediation reports that had driven crude prices down roughly 7%. The Reserve Bank of Australia raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.85%, while Apple shares fell after flagging margin pressure despite beating earnings and iPhone sales forecasts. Renewed Middle East tensions could put upward pressure on crude prices and intensify volatility across global financial markets.
Palantir Technologies shares fell 8% Tuesday despite the company beating Q3 earnings estimates and raising its outlook. The drop reflected investor concerns about slowing contract growth and Palantir's high valuation. While the earnings beat and stronger outlook were immediate positive catalysts, the market reaction underscored close scrutiny of the company's contract-growth path and valuation.

Liquid Network has fully restored 1:1 Bitcoin backing for every LBTC after a September exploit drained nearly all of its reserves.
The reserve shortfall followed an attack that created approximately 4,000 unbacked LBTC, while the final 250 BTC transfer completed the restoration, according to the federation.
Restored backing could rebuild confidence in Liquid and reduce concerns about LBTC redemption, although direct federation withdrawals remain subject to enhanced operational controls.
Silver ETFs have fallen more than 50% from their highs earlier this year as speculative positions unwind, US bond yields rise and industrial demand weakens.
Global silver ETF redemptions have eased near-term supply constraints despite an ongoing structural market deficit, while expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve continue to pressure precious metals.
Persistent high yields and weak industrial demand could prolong silver's volatility and downside pressure, although stronger economic activity or a more accommodative Fed could support a recovery.
Indian equity markets extended their rally on November 3, with the Sensex gaining nearly 800 points and the Nifty 50 approaching 23,650 as financial and FMCG stocks led broad-based buying.
Foreign institutional investors purchased Rs 3,117.99 crore of Indian equities, while the Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.80% and the Nifty Smallcap 100 advanced 0.60%.
Continued foreign inflows and positive earnings surprises could support further gains in Indian equities, although geopolitical developments and global market weakness remain key risks.
Chainlink could see an extraordinary rally if it becomes the preferred oracle and cross-chain interoperability standard for a major institutional tokenized-finance framework, but the proposed catalyst remains highly speculative.
The hypothetical adoption scenario projects LINK at $180–$320, with a stretch target above $500 by January 1, 2027, compared with current technical consolidation around $11.00–$11.40.
If major financial institutions and regulators coordinate around Chainlink's CCIP and data services, structural demand for LINK could increase substantially, although the article acknowledges that this scenario is currently highly unlikely.
France's National Assembly has rejected two proposed crypto exit-tax measures, avoiding additional taxation of unrealized crypto gains for investors relocating abroad.
The rejected proposals included taxing unrealized gains on crypto holdings above €800,000 and extending France's existing exit-tax regime to digital assets; lawmakers also postponed the 2027 budget vote for a second time.
The rejections could ease tax-related concerns for French crypto investors, although pending proposals on self-custodied holdings and stablecoin conversions leave regulatory uncertainty unresolved.
Qatar is turning to US LNG as a long-term hedge against Iran-related disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, signaling a major shift in global energy market power toward the United States.
QatarEnergy signed a 20-year deal for 3 million tonnes annually from Woodside and agreements for up to 4 million tonnes from Cheniere through 2054, with deliveries beginning in 2030 and 2031; Iranian strikes have already damaged two of Qatar's 14 LNG trains, cutting export capacity by about 17%.
The growing importance of secure supply could strengthen US LNG exporters' competitive position and accelerate the shift of global energy market influence away from the Middle East.
Fundstrat’s Tom Lee said investors considering buying the dip in technology stocks are waiting until after the midterm elections because conviction remains low. The comments follow a period of heavy losses in tech stocks, according to the supplied summary. The stated catalyst is the timing of the midterms, with investors reportedly waiting to commit to dip-buying.
Global gold demand slipped 1% year-on-year to 1,369 tonnes in Q3 2026 as elevated prices and uncertainty weighed on retail buying, despite stronger institutional demand.
Physically backed gold ETFs added 211 tonnes, while central banks increased reserves by 321 tonnes, up 42% year-on-year.
The mixed demand picture could keep gold supported by institutional and central-bank buying, while high prices and interest-rate headwinds may limit further upside.
Prominent oil bull Jeff Currie is advising investors to take short-term profits after Brent's 75% rally in 2026, warning that further gains may be vulnerable to geopolitical de-escalation.
Currie argues that escalation around the Strait of Hormuz would be mutually destructive, while maintaining his long-term bullish outlook on energy infrastructure, logistics and the broader commodity supercycle.
Profit-taking and potential US-Iran negotiations could pressure near-term crude prices, while long-term energy security investments may remain attractive.

Brent crude rose 1.1% to $105.89 per barrel, while the DXY dollar index gained 0.1% to 101.816 as Treasury yields climbed.
Further military escalation and sustained oil-price strength could support the dollar while intensifying volatility across currency and energy markets.
Apple shares fell 4% despite the company beating Q4 expectations, according to the source. Investor concerns centered on rising memory costs and Apple’s high valuation.

Asian diesel markets remained largely unchanged as traders awaited December refinery spot sales, with physical cargo activity remaining subdued.
Refining margins rebounded to nearly $62 a barrel, while cash differentials recovered to premiums of around 40 cents a barrel; December backwardation remained steep at $130 per ton.
A recovery in refining margins alongside potential supply disruptions could support middle-distillate prices, although weak spot activity may limit momentum.
Saudi Arabia’s non-oil private-sector growth slowed in October as new orders moderated and export demand remained weak.
The PMI declined to 54.0 from 55.3 in September, remaining in expansion territory despite weaker export orders for an eighth consecutive month.
Persistent export weakness and rising purchasing-price inflation could create further pressure on Saudi Arabia’s non-oil business momentum.
US stock futures were mixed as Apple plunged 4.5% in premarket trading and the Nasdaq-100 remained in correction territory amid growing concerns over Big Tech's AI spending and profitability.
Apple warned that rising memory-chip costs would pressure holiday-quarter gross margins, while the Nasdaq-100 had closed more than 10% below its record high and investors awaited midterm election results.
Continued AI investment concerns, rising borrowing costs and election uncertainty could intensify volatility across US equities.
Malaysian palm oil futures fell 2.09% to 4,552 ringgit per metric ton, hitting their lowest close in one month as concerns over rising stockpiles pressured prices.
Malaysia's October inventories are expected to reach a new peak as record production outweighed stronger exports, while rival soyoil contracts also declined.
Elevated inventories could continue pressuring palm oil prices, although stronger crude oil and a weaker ringgit may provide some support.
Apple's Mac business surged 24%, drawing comparisons to 1984 in the supplied report. Analyst Gene Munster said the growth could mark the start of an AI-driven Mac supercycle and forecast Mac growth above 15%, citing education deals and Apple's affordable MacBook Neo as potential drivers. The catalyst directly concerns Apple and its Mac segment; the source provides no Apple share-price, trading-volume, or fund-flow data.
Bitcoin ETF outflows may overstate selling pressure, while broader cryptocurrency demand remains difficult to measure through ETF flows alone.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643 million in net outflows on Friday, but represent only an estimated 6% of Bitcoin's market capitalization; Bitcoin was trading 0.3% higher at $76,901.
Despite ETF withdrawals, broader institutional and global investor demand could provide support for Bitcoin, although election uncertainty and potential regulatory pressure remain risks for crypto markets.
Copper plunged 2.5% to a nearly 2.5-month low as weakening risk appetite, AI spending concerns and geopolitical uncertainty triggered a broad selloff across industrial metals.
LME copper touched $13,833 per ton, its lowest since August 19, while breaking below its 100-day moving average at $14,053; persistent tight physical supply in China provided some support.
Continued pressure on technology shares, weaker growth expectations and geopolitical tensions could deepen bearish momentum across industrial metals.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing will introduce 12 new stock futures contracts on January 18, 2027, expanding its listed equity derivatives offerings.
The new contracts will include MiniMax and WuXi AppTec, alongside 10 other stocks.

South Africa will cut diesel prices by up to 1.20 rand per litre from November 4 following government fuel-levy reductions, while petrol prices will remain almost unchanged.
The diesel levy was reduced by 3 rand per litre and the petrol levy by 1.50 rand per litre, with smaller tax reductions scheduled through January 5.
The temporary tax relief could ease fuel costs for households and businesses, although higher global oil prices and a weaker rand may continue creating upward pressure.
Gold fell 1.1% as rising oil prices intensified inflation fears and strengthened expectations of higher US interest rates ahead of the midterm elections.
Spot gold dropped to $3,904.69 per ounce, while traders priced in a 75% chance of a December Federal Reserve rate hike; the World Gold Council also cut its annual gold investment growth forecast from 400 to 200 metric tons.
Persistent energy-driven inflation and higher interest-rate expectations could continue pressuring gold by increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets.
Bitcoin ETF outflows may be overstating selling pressure, as fund flows capture only a small portion of the cryptocurrency's broader investor demand.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643 million in net outflows on Friday, while representing an estimated 6% of Bitcoin's total market capitalization; Bitcoin traded 0.3% higher at $76,901.
Continued institutional and global investor demand outside ETFs could provide underlying support for Bitcoin despite persistent ETF withdrawals.
Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser warns that traditional 90-day emergency oil reserves may be insufficient to withstand prolonged global supply disruptions.
Nasser says the nine-month disruption to energy shipments has exposed weaknesses in national stockpiles, while shortages of diesel and jet fuel threaten economic activity.
Growing pressure to expand emergency storage capacity could intensify long-term concerns about global oil supply security and energy market resilience.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says the company holds approximately 150,000 BTC worth $11.5 billion, making it a significant reported Bitcoin holder. That figure is about 50,000 BTC above the holdings implied by its latest reserve report, which listed roughly 100,060 BTC, but Ardoino did not confirm a new purchase or explain the difference. Tether's reported holdings could reinforce its role in the Bitcoin ecosystem, although the timing and location of the additional coins remain unclear.
Bitcoin is trading below the $77,700 cost basis of buyers who entered one to three months ago, raising the risk that this level becomes resistance as recent investors move into losses. BTC trades around $76,500, while short-term holders have a realized price of $75,832 and the next lower cost-basis band sits at $68,400. Continued weakness could expose Bitcoin to deeper downside as underwater buyers look to exit near breakeven.
Palm oil futures fell as competitive export pressure, weaker crude prices and rising inventory concerns weighed on the market. The January Bursa Malaysia Derivatives contract dropped 97 ringgit to 4,552 ringgit per metric ton, while lower Indonesian export costs intensified competition despite robust export demand. Continued strong production and uncertainty over a potential Malaysian export tax waiver could keep pressure on palm oil prices.
Brent and WTI crude prices pared earlier gains but remained higher after a U.S. attack on Iran's Qeshm Island heightened fears of renewed regional escalation. Brent rose 0.6% to $105.45 a barrel and WTI gained 0.8% to $97.28, while shipping threats and uncertainty over diplomatic progress continued to support prices. The U.S. midterm elections could influence expectations for a return to more normal oil supply conditions and keep volatility elevated.

Palantir fell more than 5% despite beating earnings expectations, while Nvidia gained 1.3% and Aehr Test Systems surged 15.5% after reporting record quarterly revenue and raising its fiscal 2027 outlook.
Continued valuation concerns, earnings uncertainty and election-related volatility could intensify divergence between AI and broader technology stocks.
Asia's high-sulphur fuel oil market suffered a sharp selloff on Tuesday, with Singapore 380-cst HSFO cash premiums plunging to $32.65 per metric ton from $49.18 the previous day.
The December 380-cst HSFO crack fell to approximately $4 per barrel from $7, while elevated incoming supplies and additional Indian cargo offers added to market pressure.
Continued supply inflows and weaker spot demand could prolong downward pressure on HSFO premiums and refining margins.
Europe is entering the 2026-27 winter heating season with its lowest natural gas storage levels since 2013, raising the risk of prolonged global gas market tightness into 2027, according to the IEA.
The effective halt of LNG flows through the Strait of Hormuz has removed more than 60 billion cubic meters of supply between March and October, while global LNG supply is projected to decline nearly 20 bcm in 2026.
Europe's need to replenish depleted inventories through summer 2027 could intensify competition for flexible LNG cargoes and sustain upward pressure on global spot gas prices.
Indonesia's state utility PLN and independent power producers are expected to increase coal consumption to 173.83 million metric tons in 2027, up from approximately 150 million tons expected this year.
PLN also expects to require 120 LNG cargoes next year, compared with 108 this year, with around 90 cargoes already secured and the remainder still being arranged.
Rising Indonesian power-sector fuel demand could intensify competition for coal and LNG supplies and increase pressure on regional energy markets.
The European Union auctioned 2.792 million spot carbon permits at 90.16 euros per tonne on Tuesday, establishing the latest reported auction price for EU emissions allowances.
The auction took place on EEX with a cover ratio of 1.17, compared with 1.69 for Germany's October 30 auction and 1.71 for Poland's October 28 auction.
The relatively low cover ratio could signal weaker auction demand and may put pressure on EU carbon permit prices.
The Indian rupee strengthened modestly to 94.74 per dollar on Tuesday, while dollar-rupee forward premiums edged lower as markets monitored US midterm elections and developments in the Iran war.
The rupee trimmed its early gains after oil prices rebounded more than $1, while options and forward markets continued signaling investor concerns about further currency weakness.
Renewed oil supply concerns and uncertainty surrounding US election results could pressure the rupee, while a Democratic sweep could create short-term downside pressure on the dollar.
AMD shares have fallen more than 24% over the past month ahead of Tuesday’s Q3 earnings report. Investors will focus on whether data center sales are accelerating. CEO Lisa Su is expected to discuss that segment as markets assess AMD’s latest results.
South Africa will cut wholesale diesel prices by up to 1.20 rand per litre from November 4, while regulated petrol prices will remain virtually unchanged.
The diesel reduction amounts to approximately $0.0722 per litre, compared with a marginal 1-cent-per-litre decline in petrol prices, according to the government.
Lower diesel costs could ease fuel expenses for businesses and transport operators, potentially providing modest support to economic activity.
Aehr Test Systems shares surged 15% after the company reported strong first-quarter results and raised its fiscal 2027 guidance. The guidance increase was cited as the immediate catalyst. Mercer, HUB Cyber and Parabolic were also among premarket gainers, while VCIG and Jaguar were among decliners. No additional price or trading data was provided.

Weak spot demand, political uncertainty and Middle East tensions could keep Bitcoin under pressure as traders await the election outcome.
Middle East crude benchmark premiums remained at their lowest levels in more than three months as ample supply continued to weigh on the spot market.
Chinese refiners secured millions of barrels from Iraq and West Africa, while India's Bharat Petroleum purchased 1 million barrels of US WTI crude.
Continued supply availability could pressure Middle East crude premiums despite escalating geopolitical risks threatening energy flows.
Dow futures fell 0.5% and Treasury yields edged higher as investors positioned ahead of Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections, while broader markets remained under pressure from AI-related concerns.
S&P 500 futures slipped 0.1%, Brent crude rebounded 1.6% to $106.50 per barrel, and Bitcoin traded near $76,400 as gold futures declined more than 1%.
Continued AI-related uncertainty, rising Treasury yields and upcoming economic data could intensify volatility across equities, cryptocurrencies and commodities.
Gold and silver prices extended their decline ahead of India's Dhanteras buying season, with MCX gold futures falling 1.65% and silver futures dropping 4.47% on November 3.
A stronger US dollar, elevated bond yields and expectations of a possible December Federal Reserve rate hike are weighing on precious metals, while lower prices could encourage festive jewellery purchases.
Further monetary tightening expectations could pressure gold and silver, although improved affordability may support physical demand during the Dhanteras and wedding seasons.
NEAR Protocol governance has approved a proposal to reduce the network's maximum annual token issuance ceiling from 2.5% to 1.6% over 24 months, targeting slower supply dilution and lower long-term sell pressure.
The proposal estimates it will avoid 11.8 million NEAR in issuance over two years, while daily issuance would decline from approximately 89,500 to 57,300 NEAR at full implementation.
The reduction could strengthen NEAR's long-term tokenomics through lower inflation, although declining staking yields and pending Security Council ratification and validator adoption remain important considerations.
Apple shares fell nearly 2.9% in U.S. premarket trading despite the company reporting quarterly revenue and profit above expectations. The reported concerns were elevated memory costs, narrowing gross margin, weaker performance in China, and slower services growth.
Palantir shares fell more than 6% premarket. The company posted strong Q3 revenue growth and raised its full-year revenue guidance, but slower contract-value growth and concerns over AI-sector valuations weighed on premarket performance.
The developments put focus on potential spillover across hardware, software, and AI-related names, as the market weighs earnings beats against margin, regional-growth, and valuation pressures.
Vietnam's November 3 market snapshot shows the official USD/VND midpoint at 25,630, while the unofficial exchange rate trades significantly higher at 26,040–26,160.
Interbank USD/VND quotes stand at 25,755–25,765, while SJC gold prices are reported at 137.6–140.6 million dong per tael.
The gap between official and unofficial exchange rates could signal continued pressure on the Vietnamese dong and heightened demand for foreign currency.
Oil production at Kazakhstan's Tengiz field declined 13% between January and September, falling to 26.6 million metric tonnes, according to operator Tengizchevroil.
The reported decline highlights reduced output from one of Kazakhstan's major oil production operations.
Sustained production weakness could tighten available oil supply and provide support for crude oil prices.
