The cryptocurrency market roared into Q4 2025 with renewed enthusiasm as Bitcoin (BTC) shattered its all-time high, validating the long-held âUptoberâ thesis. BTC surged 12% during the week, breaking above its August peak of $124,480 and touching $125,700 on October 5, before closing near $123,000. This move triggered fresh institutional inflows and a wave of bullish momentum across majors. Spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed $3.24B in net inflowsâreducing exchange reserves to 2.83M BTC, reinforcing a HODL-driven market. The rally was further fueled by the debasement trade narrativeâpositioning Bitcoin alongside gold as a hedge against fiat erosion. Letâs dive into some top movers, losers and highlights of this weekly crypto update.
On-chain data signaled mid-sized holders accumulating BTC above $120K, while derivatives turnover spiked as leverage returned to the market. Stablecoin and institutional trends underscored a maturing cycle, bolstered by USDCâs OCC-backed integrations, expanding payment rails, and crypto remittances hitting record highs in emerging markets.
Despite macro uncertainty, the tone has shifted: âUptoberâ is here, and Q4 looks set for fireworks.
