“Uptober”, the nickname for the traditionally bullish tenth month, has usually been associated with Bitcoin (BTC) rallies, but analysts are now paying attention to what comes after the flagship crypto’s moves. In particular, Andrei Grachev, Founding Partner at Falcon Finance, notes that while strong BTC performance in October has historically sparked capital rotation into altcoins and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, this year appears to be different, as the flow encompasses stablecoin yield products and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) as well. “Uptober has always been framed around Bitcoin’s rally, but the real story is what happens after Bitcoin moves. Historically, when Bitcoin climbs in October, capital rotates into other parts of the market — altcoins, DeFi protocols, and now tokenized assets. This year is different because the ecosystem includes stablecoin yields and real-world assets,” Grachev told Finbold.  More yield for retail investors ...

Leading economist and former forex analyst Moonchaser poured cold water on traders expecting XRP to reach $100,000. She explained that Ripple’s native token reaching $100,000 is not realistic, and traders are misunderstanding the concept of market value. XRP enthusiasts have long been calling for the token to reach unimaginable heights because the altcoin’s performance is not tied to its market cap.

The Chainlink (LINK) cryptocurrency is riding a 21% dip in the last 30 days, as the coin has returned to under $19. The plunge has a variety of catalysts, most notably the recent bear market in crypto and the uncertainty of the next direction that coin prices will go. After hitting ATH levels earlier this month, BTC is back down to $112,000 as well, weighing down the rest of the market too. LINK has recovered from a dip to as low as $16 in the last few days. The recovery followed a heavy sell-off during the broader market crash. Exchange Outflows dropped notably in recent days, showing fewer tokens moved to trading venues. This pattern typically reflects stronger holder conviction and reduced sell pressure. The next major resistance sits near $24, the key level LINK must clear to confirm a structural shift back to bullish. Additionally, some analysts believe that this change is coming and that now could be the right time to capitalize on the dip and invest. After the strong 2025 LINK h...
