Wow, what a difference a week makes! Bitcoin started last week out just below resistance, then blasted right on through it, with some very strong buying pressure throughout the week. The bulls are back in control after taking out all short-term resistance levels. Bitcoin price is now in what is referred to as a “blue sky breakout”, where the price reaches a new all-time high and goes into price discovery mode as all buyers who didn’t sell on the correction are now in profit. It has truly been an impressive week for the bulls, generating the highest weekly closing price bitcoin has ever seen at $123,515.

Bitcoin jumped past $125,000 today, nearing its new all-time high as macroeconomic uncertainty and mounting political tensions in Washington pushed investors toward alternative assets.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency climbed more than 13% over the past week, rebounding from about $109,000 at the end of September to touch $125,750 over the weekend, according to Bitbio data. 

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $125,870.

The move comes as people expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates later this month, which could further fuel a rally in non-yielding and risk-sensitive assets.

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown is adding another tailwind to…

Opendoor CEO Kaz Nejatian put out a social media hint that his company may soon allow the purchase of homes using Bitcoin or other crypto.

In a reply on X to a user asking whether Opendoor would permit home buying with Bitcoin or crypto, Nejatian responded, “We will. Just need to prioritize it.” The comment, though brief, sparked speculation that the housing company might add crypto payments into its platform.

Opendoor Technologies., based in San Francisco, operates a digital home-buying marketplace. The company makes cash offers on homes via an online process, acquires the properties, performs repairs or upgrades, and re-lists them for sale.

Galaxy Digital has unveiled GalaxyOne, a new consumer platform and app that merges crypto, cash, and stock trading under one roof. The platform features a 4% cash account, crypto custody and trading, and zero-commission stock and ETF trading, making it one of the most comprehensive finance apps in the U.S.

At launch, users can buy, hold, and transfer Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and Paxos Gold, with plans to expand to more tokens soon. Investors can also trade over 2,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, including fractional shares. For accredited investors, GalaxyOne offers Galaxy Premium Yield, providing 8% APY, powered by Galaxy’s institutional lending arm.

The move marks Galaxy’s major entry into the retail market, competing with platforms like Robinhood, eToro, and Cash App. CEO Mike Novogratz said Galaxy is bringing its institutional-grade infrastructure to individuals, following the acquisition of Fierce, the finance super-app that evolved into GalaxyOne.

A new default setting in the upcoming Bitcoin Core release, Bitcoin Core 30.0, has caused a rift through segments of the Bitcoin community. Some users have indicated they won’t upgrade to the new release of Bitcoin’s most-used client, or switched to running Bitcoin Knots: a software fork of Bitcoin Core maintained by OCEAN CTO Luke Dashjr, a vocal critic of the change.

The debate is quite technical, about a seemingly minor issue. Bitcoin Core 30.0 will start to relay transactions across the network with bigger OP_RETURN outputs: transactions that embed arbitrary data (like text or images) in a specific way. This appears to be a minor change because Bitcoin Core (and Bitcoin Knots)…

Opendoor CEO Kaz Nejatian has hinted that the company may soon enable home purchases using cryptocurrency, signaling a bold step toward merging real estate and digital assets. Responding to a user on X asking about buying homes with Bitcoin or other cryptos, Nejatian replied, “We will. Just need to prioritize it,” suggesting the feature could come in the near future.

The comment has fueled excitement among crypto and retail investors, as Opendoor rides a renewed “meme stock” wave. The company’s shares have already surged over 1,300% since July, reaching above $10.52 in September following major leadership changes, including Nejatian’s appointment as CEO and the return of co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu to leadership roles.

The move underscores a growing corporate shift toward digital currencies, following examples like MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin adoption. With Bitcoin prices soaring again and renewed optimism around pro-crypto policies, Opendoor’s potential entry into crypto transactions could further reshape both housing and digital finance markets.

Global crypto markets surged last week as digital asset investment products saw a historic $5.95 billion in inflows — the largest ever recorded. Analysts attribute the jump to a delayed reaction to the recent FOMC interest rate cut, weak US employment data, and concerns over government stability following the shutdown. The rally pushed total assets under management (AuM) to an all-time high of $254 billion.

The United States led the charge with $5 billion in inflows, marking a new national record. Switzerland followed with $563 million, while Germany recorded its second-highest inflows at $312 million. The broad-based optimism highlights growing investor confidence across major crypto markets.

Bitcoin remained the top performer, drawing $3.55 billion, its highest weekly inflow on record. Ethereum attracted $1.48 billion, bringing its year-to-date inflows to $13.7 billion, nearly triple last year’s figure. Solana and XRP also saw strong gains, with inflows of US$706.5 million and $219.4 million, respectively.
