Crypto Roundup — Key Highlights Date: October 24, 2026 >> Here are 13 updates worthy of note: ➡️ Crypto News 🔹 Bitcoin ( $BTC ) — U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded $773.5M in outflows over two sessions, including $635.6M on Thursday and $137.9M on Friday. Despite the withdrawals, ETFs finished the week with $301.2M in net inflows. 🔹 Bitcoin Price Action — BTC is trading around $80.8K, with leveraged-long liquidation concentrations near $80.3K. A sustained break below $80K could accelerate selling, while $84K–$85K remains the major recovery zone. 🔹 Ethereum ( $ETH ) — ETH ETFs recorded approximately $220.7M in weekly outflows despite a modest $4.4M inflow on Friday. Institutional demand continues to lag behind Bitcoin. 🔹 Zcash ( $ZEC ) — ZEC investment products recorded $41.1M in net weekly inflows, including four consecutive positive trading sessions, contrasting sharply with institutional withdrawals from ETH and other major cryptocurrencies. 🔹 CME Group — CME confirmed the first block trades in its newly launched Uniswap ( $UNI ) and Bitcoin Cash ( $BCH ) futures, executed between FalconX and GSR, expanding regulated institutional derivatives access beyond major cryptocurrencies. ➡️ Ecosystem Developments & Alpha 🔹 Bittensor ( $TAO ) — Bittensor activated its eTAO upgrade, allowing subnet owners to customize emission allocations between owners, validators and miners. @almnc_ai (SN41) reduced its owner share from 18% to 10%, while @VantaTrading (SN8) eliminated its owner allocation entirely. 🔹 @Zcash NU7 Upgrade — Zcash is preparing its NU7 network upgrade for November 5, targeting a reduction in block spacing from 75 to 25 seconds, increased shielded-transaction throughput and improved network sustainability. Users with legacy Sprout funds must migrate before activation. 🔹 @solana ( $SOL ) — Solana's Project Harmonia, developed with Allfunds, reaches its application deadline today. The initiative aims to bring tokenized investment funds into an institutional distribution network connecting over 3,300 asset managers and financial institutions. 🔹 @HyperliquidX ( $HYPE ) — Hyperliquid-linked investment products recorded approximately $15.3M in weekly outflows, even as the perp DEX sector continues attracting institutional attention. Protocol revenue, open interest, fees and market share remain key metrics to watch. ➡️ Global News & Macro 🔹 U.S. Economic Data — October's U.S. Composite PMI came in at 57.6, indicating continued economic expansion. However, accelerating selling-price inflation is raising concerns about how quickly the Federal Reserve can ease monetary policy. 🔹 Oil & Treasury Yields — Brent crude closed Friday around $116.72, while the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield approached 5%, adding further pressure on crypto and other risk assets. 🔹 Federal Reserve — The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for October 27–28. Interest-rate expectations, inflation and liquidity conditions could determine whether BTC recovers toward $85K or experiences another leg lower. ➡️ Token Unlocks - $SOSO: 23.46M tokens — October 24 (5.63% of circulating supply). - $XPL: 227.78M tokens — October 25 (~5.02%). - $H: 266M+ tokens — October 25 (~6.84%).
