The main headline — Bitcoin (BTC) briefly surged above $120,000 but ended the month near $110,000 amid macroeconomic turbulence. In this overview, we analyze the top news of October, explore how the Fed’s policy shifts and geopolitics shaped the market, and share our forecast for November 2025. Find out which coins performed best — and how RevenueBot can help you profit from this wild volatility.
🔹 Top News of October 2025
1. Altcoin ETF Debut: “Buy the Rumor, Sell the News”
On October 28, the NYSE hosted the long-awaited debut of spot ETFs based on Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), and Hedera (HBAR).
Impact: Contrary to expectations of a major rally, the market followed the classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” pattern. HBAR’s price spiked briefly before trading began, as investors rushed to jump in, but all three assets — including SOL — dropped soon after launch as traders took profits.
Despite a solid first-day trading volume of $67.92 million, profit-taking outweighed buying pressure. While the ETF launch didn’t trigger an immediate bull run, it solidified the long-term trend toward institutional adoption.
2. BTC’s Record Highs and the Fastest Drop in History
October 2025 will be remembered as a month of two records.
New ATH: For the first time ever, Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed $120,000, reaching a new all-time high (ATH) around $125,000, fueled by massive institutional inflows into ETFs from BlackRock and other funds.
Record Crash: At the same time, the market saw one of the sharpest drops ever due to geopolitical and macroeconomic shocks. Extreme volatility triggered over $7.5 billion in liquidations within hours.
Bottom Line: BTC didn’t fall below the “eternal $100K” level (as forecast by Standard Chartered), but traders were reminded that higher highs also mean faster, deeper corrections.
3. Mt. Gox Delays Repayments Again
In a move that surprised few, the long-defunct exchange Mt. Gox postponed creditor repayments for the third time — now until October 2026.
Impact: The market reaction was muted. Despite Mt. Gox holding billions in BTC, traders have grown accustomed to these delays, and the news no longer triggers panic.
4. Fed Policy & Geopolitical Shock
The market’s vulnerability became clear once again. Bitcoin dropped from $116,400 to below $108,000 after a paradoxical reaction to the Fed’s rate cut.
Adding to the pressure, geopolitical headlines — particularly statements about trade relations between Trump and Xi Jinping — caused sharper reactions than the Fed’s own decisions.
Impact: A dovish Fed doesn’t always mean a quick crypto rally, and geopolitics remains the ultimate “black swan” driver.
📈 November Forecast: A Rally Month
Historically, November and December are strong months for crypto. After holding above $100K and riding the ETF momentum, here’s what to expect:
🔹 Bullish Continuation: Institutional demand will likely keep pushing prices higher. Analysts from Citigroup forecast BTC targets around $132,000 and beyond.
🔹 Altcoin Rally (Altseason): After big capital flows into ETFs, funds may rotate into riskier altcoins. Ethereum and other major L1/L2 projects are set to take the spotlight.
🔹 Volatility Ahead: The market will remain highly sensitive to geopolitical moves (Trump/China talks) and U.S. economic data releases.
