Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (October 13) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) and major cryptocurrencies rebounded at the start of the week, regaining ground after a sharp October 10 selloff triggered by US President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff threats against China. The correction, which wiped out billions in leveraged positions, marked one of the largest single-day liquidations in crypto trading history.

Bitcoin price performance, October 13, 2025.

Bitcoin price performance, October 13, 2025.

Chart via TradingView.

Bitcoin has climbed 2.2 percent in the past 24 hours to trade above US$114,200; the coin plunged below US$109,000 late on October 10 after setting a record high near US$126,200 earlier last week.

The weekend rebound followed Trump’s more conciliatory Truth Social post on October 12, where he wrote:

“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!”

Data from CoinGlass reveals over 1.6 million trades were liquidated on October 10, amounting to more than US$19 billion in forced sales across the crypto market. Other reports place the figure at roughly US$20 billion, the largest single-day liquidation in crypto history, as leveraged long positions on Bitcoin and Ether were rapidly unwound.

The event also saw major altcoins like XRP, Dogecoin and Cardano slump by as much as 30 percent, deepening what traders have described as a “cascade of leveraged liquidations.”

According to Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr., the October 10 shock “changed the regime to moderately bearish,” though market structure indicators suggest the downturn has yet to reach capitulation levels.

Adler also notes that the Bitcoin Bull-Bear Structure Index dropped by 8 percent, and a further decline to -15 percent would “signal continued bearish pressure and the risk of retesting local lows.”

Bitcoin dominance in the crypto market now stands at 56.01 percent.

Ether (ETH) was trading at US$4,105.84 as of the time of this writing. Its lowest valuation on Monday was US$3,802.06, and its highest was US$4,196.98.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$199.11, an increase of 5.8 percent over the last 24 hours and its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest valuation on Monday was US$179.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.57, up by 6.8 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.37, and its highest was US$2.64.

ETF data and derivatives trends

The Fear & Greed Index currently reads 40, climbing back to neutral territory after crashing to ‘fear’ last week.

Last week, the cumulative net flows for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were predominantly positive despite the sudden crash on the tail end. According to data from the week of October 6 to October 12, spot Bitcoin ETFs had inflows on four days, with October 10 being the outlier at US$4.5 million in outflows. The inflows were led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:FBTC).

Cumulative total inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs stood at US$62.77 billion as of October 10.

Today’s crypto news to know

Crypto funds log US$3.17 billion in inflows despite tariff turmoil

Digital asset investment products saw US$3.17 billion in inflows last week, shrugging off the volatility sparked by renewed US-China tariff tensions. According to CoinShares, Bitcoin accounted for $2.67 billion of that total, underscoring its dominance in institutional portfolios as exchange-traded product volumes hit a record US$53 billion.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs alone attracted US$2.71 billion, even as major cryptocurrencies corrected midweek. October 10’s minor US$159 million outflow suggests investors were largely unfazed by short-term market shocks.

Furthermore, year-to-date inflows have reached a record US$48.7 billion, already surpassing 2024’s full-year total, which analysts say is indicative of a resilient capital rotation into crypto.

House of Doge to list on Nasdaq

In a bid to bring Dogecoin deeper into traditional finance, House of Doge — the corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation — announced plans to debut on the Nasdaq via a reverse merger with Brag House Holdings (NASDAQ:TBH).

CEO Marco Margiotta said the listing will help fund new payment and yield infrastructure for Dogecoin, including a pending spot ETF with 21Shares and a treasury product already trading on the NYSE. Backers include Elon Musk’s attorney Alex Spiro, former Texas Governor Rick Perry and members of the Steinbrenner family.

Margiotta said being public will accelerate Dogecoin’s integration into retail payments and cultural sectors like sports, where the firm plans to launch tokenized fan initiatives.

Dogecoin rose more than 10 percent following the announcement. The deal is expected to close in early 2026.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Friday (October 10) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$116,726, a 3.6 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$116,242, and its highest was US$122,359, recorded shortly after trading began on major indexes.

Bitcoin price performance, October 10, 2025.

Bitcoin price performance, October 10, 2025.

Chart via TradingView.

Bitcoin has logged a weekly loss of around 5.2 percent.

Key support zones are being tested, which could attract dip buyers, potentially setting the stage for a rebound. However, a sustained break below could invite additional downside before market stability returns.

The week was capped by a sharp selloff as Bitcoin dipped in late Friday trading, triggering over US$850 million in liquidations in 24 hours, with the majority being long positions. A contraction in futures open interest confirms that traders are exiting leveraged positions and further supports the narrative of a healthy market reset.

The immediate focus will be on Bitcoin’s ability to reclaim its US$117,000 to US$120,000 support zone over the weekend. Technical momentum indicators suggest the market remains in a consolidation phase, with volatility compression possibly foreshadowing a large directional move in the coming weeks.

Ether (ETH) was priced at US$3,998.07, an 8 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3,976.33, and its highest was US$4,386.23.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$205.98, a decrease of 5.8 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$204.77, and its highest was US$224.06.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.68, a decrease of 3.8 percent over the last 24 hours and near its lowest valuation of the day. Its highest was US$2.83.

Today’s crypto news to know

International banks explore stablecoin issuance

A group of leading international banks, including BNP Paribas (EPA:BNP), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB), Citigroup (NYSE:C), UBS Group (NYSE:UBS) and others, has announced a joint exploration into issuing a stablecoin pegged to major G7 fiat currencies.

The initiative seeks to use digital assets to create a stable payment option that boosts competition and efficiency in financial markets, especially cross-border payments. The banks emphasize that they will ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements and adopt best risk management practices.

The project is in its early stages and will involve ongoing coordination with regulators and supervisors across relevant markets. While no specific timeline has been announced, this collaboration signals growing institutional interest in blockchain-based financial innovation.

Kalshi completes Series D funding round, expands internationally

Kalshi completed a Series D funding round of over US$300 million led by Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with participation by Paradigm, CapitalG, Coinbase Ventures, General Catalyst and Spark Capital.

The latest round brings the company’s valuation to US$5 billion and comes after Kalshi closed a separate US$185 million funding round in June; it was led by Paradigm and also featured Sequoia. The platform also announced an international expansion with an immediate launch in 140 new markets.

“International users can now access the platform via the Kalshi website with an identical product experience to American users,” the company said in a press release.

Prestige Wealth secures funding for digital gold treasury, rebrands as Aurelion

Prestige Wealth (NASDAQ:AURE) announced it has secured approximately US$150 million in financing to establish Nasdaq’s first digital gold treasury focused on Tether Gold, a gold-backed stablecoin issued by Tether. This milestone is part of a broader plan to integrate tokenized gold into the company’s reserve assets. As part of the transition, Prestige Wealth will rebrand itself as Aurelion and start trading under the ticker symbol AURE on October 13.

The financing package consists of a US$100 million private investment in public equity, with Antalpha Platforms as the lead investor, supported by Tether and Kiara Capital. Additionally, there is a US$50 million senior debt facility. Most of these funds will be allocated to acquiring Tether Gold, which will serve as Aurelion Treasury’s reserve asset.

XRP, DOGE, SOL slip as US$2.7 billion flows into Bitcoin ETFs

Major altcoins faced losses on Friday as cryptocurrency traders took profits from Bitcoin’s record-breaking rally, even as spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) demand remained strong.

Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and Cardano each slid up to 3 percent, according to CoinDesk. Despite the retreat, US-listed Bitcoin ETFs drew US$2.72 billion in inflows this week, highlighting resilient institutional appetite.

The ETF surge underscores Bitcoin’s growing role as a “digital safe haven,” especially amid gold’s surge above US$4,000 per ounce. However, a possible pullback to the US$107,000 to US$115,000 range could be imminent ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s October policy meeting.

EU dismisses ECB’s call for new stablecoin rules

The European Commission said Friday that existing crypto regulations under MiCA are adequate to handle stablecoin risks, pushing back on calls from the European Central Bank (ECB) for stricter oversight.

According to Reuters, the ECB had urged Brussels to introduce new safeguards against “multi-issuance” models, where stablecoins minted outside the EU could be treated as interchangeable with those issued within.

Industry groups, including members like Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL), asked the commission to formally clarify that multi-issuance is allowed under current rules. In a statement to Reuters, the commission said MiCA already provides a “robust and proportionate framework,” and that further guidance will be published soon.

The ECB’s main concern is that redemptions from non-EU tokens could drain reserves inside the bloc, posing systemic risks. Stablecoin issuers countered that their reserve structures already mitigate such threats.

About Locksley Resources Limited:

Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is an ASX listed explorer focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing exploration across two key assets: the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley Resources aims to generate shareholder value through strategic exploration, discovery and development in this highly prospective mineral region.

Mojave Project

Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 250 claims across two contiguous prospect areas, namely, the North Block/Northeast Block and the El Campo Prospect. The North Block directly abuts claims held by MP Materials, while El Campo lies along strike of the Mountain Pass Mine and is enveloped by MP Materials’ claims, highlighting the strong geological continuity and exploration potential of the project area.

In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic ‘Desert Antimony Mine’, which last operated in 1937. Despite the United States currently having no domestic antimony production, demand for the metal remains high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors, and metal alloys. With significant surface sample results, the Desert Mine prospect represents one of the highest-grade known antimony occurrences in the U.S.

Locksley’s North American position is further strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE & antimony production. With its maiden drilling program planned, the Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security.

Tottenham Project

Locksley’s Australian portfolio comprises the advanced Tottenham Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales, focused on VMS-style mineralisation
