Bitcoin closed the day at $80,412 according to DeFiLlama, down 0.1% over 24 hours, 0.78% lower over seven days and 4.14% down across the month. We track it at 36.22% below its all-time high of $126,080, and the twelve-month fall stands at 27.93%. Bitcoin's dominance sat at 59.61%. The Fear and Greed Index read 54, which is neutral, up from 53 a week earlier. The Block reports that crypto longs lost $404 million in four hours as bitcoin briefly slipped below $80,000, while CoinDesk attributes the weekend slide to U.S. Middle East evacuations.
US spot bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $118.3 million on 22 October, the latest trading day in our data, but the five-day net inflow still totals $309.5 million, so the recent run of withdrawals was broken rather than reversed in full. Decrypt notes that the ETFs snapped a two-week losing streak despite the late-week slide, which is a useful reminder that a single session tells only part of the story.
On our figures, ETFs hold about 1,484,276 BTC, while public companies hold roughly 1,222,207 BTC, with Strategy the largest at 848,517 BTC. Miners hold around 99,172 BTC and governments around 518,526 BTC. The network stands at block 973,130 with 76,870 blocks to the estimated halving on 16 March 2028, and hashrate is 1,077 EH/s. Next difficulty adjustment is expected to rise 5.17%. CoinDesk reports that Strategy and Strive face a balancing act between bitcoin buying and preferred stock dividends.
