Crypto Sizzles: Bitcoin Flirts with 150K, Coinbase Crushes Q3, BlackRocks IBIT Nears 100B
The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.
Hey crypto fans, it’s your buddy Crypto Willy here, back with another jam-packed episode of The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, and this week—wow—crypto didn’t just simmer, it *sizzled*. Grab your hardware wallets and settle in, 'cause there’s a lot to unpack as we roll through the final days of October and head into early November 2025.
Let’s start at the top: **Bitcoin and Ethereum both ended October with their third weekly loss out of the past four**, but don’t roll your eyes just yet—there’s still action worth watching. According to CNBC Crypto World, Bitcoin managed to rise by over 2% to finish the month sitting swagger-high near $110,000, while Ether inched closer to $4,000. Solana wasn’t left out either, nudging up 1.7% to hit $188. Still, zoom out for the week, and all these major coins actually slid into the red—Bitcoin down 0.5%, Ether down 1.8%, and Solana dropping 2.5%. For the full month, Solana snapped a six-month winning streak, diving about 10%. Bitcoin dropped over 3.5%, making it its second losing month in three. Ether? A nearly 7% dip, chalking up back-to-back monthly losses not seen since April.
Now, despite the choppy water for coins, the *real* fireworks came from the business side. **Coinbase absolutely crushed analyst expectations for Q3**, with net income jumping to $432.6 million, which is nearly six times what they saw same time last year. Revenue hit a beefy $1.87 billion. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong would probably tell you that consumer and institutional trading exploded, especially after their $3 billion nab of the derivatives exchange Darabit. Their retail traders were up 37% quarter-over-quarter! With U.S. regulations loosening up under President Trump and some cooling in U.S.–China trade tensions, the crypto spirit got a much-needed boost.
Let’s talk ETFs, because BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, **IBIT**, is flirting with a wild milestone: $100 billion in assets under management. Robert Mitchnick, BlackRock’s digital assets chief, says it’s fueling a new wave of mainstream adoption. That’s right – the world’s largest asset manager is pulling in the normies.
Meanwhile, Michael Saylor over at Strategy (yep, that’s the Bitcoin hoarding company making headlines) saw its Q3 net income soar to $2.8 billion. They’re boasting a 26% yield year-to-date on their massive Bitcoin stack. Saylor’s still in bull mode, forecasting Bitcoin could vault past $150,000 by year’s end.
Wrapping up with a little regulatory tea: SEC chair Paul Atkins hopped on CNBC’s Squawkbox to chat about the crypto market, including the big news that President Trump issued a pardon for Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao. Atkins did his political two-step and reminded everyone that the market decides what’s credible, but crypto Twitter had opinions—a *lot* of them.
All right, friends, that’s the latest from the cryptosphere—heady, volatile, and never vanilla. Thanks for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show. Come back next week for more straight talk and sharp insights. This is Crypto Willy signing off for Quiet Please. To dive even deeper, check out QuietPlease dot AI. Stay bold, stay decentralized!
