By Oliver Knight, Jacob Joseph — October 27, 2025
Bitcoin jumped to about $115,200 and ether to $4,160 as traders priced in a potential Fed rate cut, while BTC’s 30‑day implied volatility eased to 44%.

BTC cleared $112,000 on heavy volume as roughly $319 million in short positions were liquidated over 24 hours, amplifying upside momentum. Traders are watching $115,000–$116,000 as the next resistance band with FOMC and U.S.–China headlines in focus. A sustained hold above $113,700–$114,000 would strengthen the case for testing higher ranges.

By Sam Reynolds — October 27, 2025
On‑chain data shows about 62,000 BTC moved out of long‑term storage since mid‑October, but whale accumulation and modest short covering stabilized price near $114K. Leverage remains balanced and ETH outperformed on momentum, suggesting a measured reset rather than a full‑throttle breakout. Expect range‑bound trade between $113K and $116K unless a fresh catalyst emerges.

The real‑world rise of stablecoin remittances for the Gulf region
By Sean Lee — October 26, 2025
With Gulf remittances topping $131.5 billion in 2023, stablecoins offer faster, cheaper, and more transparent cross‑border flows versus legacy rails. Startups like Kem, backed by Tether investment, are building stablecoin‑first apps with local cash‑outs, cards, and compliance tooling, aligning with proactive frameworks in the UAE and Bahrain. The region’s regulatory clarity is turning stablecoin remittances from niche use case to core financial infrastructure.
Conclusion: Macro catalysts, from a potential Fed pivot to improving U.S.–China sentiment, are intersecting with cleaner market positioning and steady institutional adoption. Whether it’s whales absorbing supply, corporates adding BTC, or enterprises and governments launching digital asset and stablecoin platforms, the throughline is clear: crypto’s pipes are broadening just as liquidity may be cycling back into risk. We’ll be watching whether this alignment carries bitcoin through resistance and extends gains across the ecosystem.
