US spot Ether ETFs have shed $1.08 billion since 1 October, erasing September's inflows, while bitcoin funds took in about $550 million across two sessions.

US spot ether funds shed about $320 million in the week to 16 October, more than the $228 million out of bitcoin products. Friday's bitcoin figure has two tallies.

A new standards body says 6.04 million bitcoin sit behind public keys already visible on chain. The coverage of its launch does not agree on the count.

Citi raised its 12-month bitcoin target to $113,000 from $82,000 and its ether target to $3,028, pricing in $5 billion of ETF inflows over the year.

A trading account's post ranks six assets by what $10,000 would be worth now if it had been bought in the March 2020 Covid crash. Ethereum leads at $205,000, ahead of altcoins at $195,000 and bitcoin at $130,000. Gold sits last at $28,500.

A single-slide post circulating on Instagram sets out three multipliers: Bitcoin 2x by 2027, Ethereum 5x by 2028, altcoins 100x by 2029. It names no author and no method. Bitcoin traded near $77,000 on 10 September.

Ether traded about 70% below its August 2025 record of $4,953.73 on Monday, roughly 20 points worse than bitcoin, as more than $1 billion of positions were liquidated.

Executive summary: Bitcoin surged 7.5% overnight, hitting a local high above 72,700. Ethereum and Solana followed with double-digit moves. Here's the breakdown of what happened and why.
