The total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market is above $1.3 trillion—Bitcoin dominance index - 54%.
The court ordered the SEC to review Grayscale's application for a spot Bitcoin ETF
The US Court of Appeals has formally approved a decision requiring the SEC to reconsider Grayscale Investments' application to convert GBTC into a spot ETF based on the first cryptocurrency.
In June 2022, the asset manager sued the regulator for refusing to convert their flagship trust. The company sent the corresponding application back in October 2021.
At the end of August, the court granted Grayscale's request and ordered the Commission to reconsider the decision.
The new document repeats the decision of the appellate court. According to the ruling, the management company proved that the proposed spot ETF is similar to already approved Bitcoin futures exchange-traded funds.

SEC fines BlackRock $2.5 million for concealing information
The SEC brought charges against BlackRock for failing to describe investments in the entertainment industry accurately. The company agreed to pay a fine of $2.5 million.
The regulator claims that from 2015 to 2019, the financial giant Multi-Sector Income Trust (BIT) invested in the film company Aviron Group. BlackRock allegedly described it as a diversified financial services firm, but that was false, the Commission said.
BlackRock bitcoin ETF listed on DTCC’s website
BlackRock’s IBTC originally appeared on Monday (October 23), then disappeared from the website on Tuesday (October 24), and then IBTC was returned to the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation website.
Bitcoin price initially fell to $33,500, but after re-listing raised above $34,000.
MicroStrategy's unrealized profit quadrupled in 1 day
The American company MicroStrategy owns 158,245 BTC, worth about $5.39 billion, said its founder and CEO Michael Saylor.
It was previously reported that the average Bitcoin purchase price for MicroStrategy was $29,582.
Sam Bankman-Fried gave his first testimony
On Thursday, October 26, the former head of FTX exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), began testifying.
Bankman-Fried considered it acceptable for the top management of the exchange to borrow funds from Alameda Research. The process was organized by the legal department under Dan Friedberg. Some of this money was used to invest in third-party projects.
Also, according to SBF, FTX's terms of service included the possibility for Alameda Research to borrow funds from the exchange.
These rules, according to Bankman-Fried, were also developed by lawyers from Fenwick & West. The ex-CEO of FTX himself became acquainted with them only “partially.”

Our investment strategy involves providing deep liquidity crypto market making to the projects we invest in. This approach allows us to ensure continuous and substantial liquidity in exchanges. By doing so, we aim to increase market efficiency and reduce price volatility. We help to stabilize prices and reduce the bid-ask spread, which can lower transaction costs for traders. This usually attracts more traders to the markets, by making it easier and less risky to trade your token which can help to increase the overall liquidity and trading volumes both for the benefit of traders and issuers. However, we recognize that providing liquidity also comes with potential risks, which we carefully evaluate and manage as part of our investment decision-making process.
