Uptober: BTC, ETFs, and ATHs
Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin eclipses prior all-time high and tests $67,000, completing the comeback from a 55% drawdown April through July.
- ProShare’s Bitcoin Strategy ETF ($BITO) was a huge success, garnering $570 million in asset inflows in its debut, and breaking the record for the fastest ETF to achieve $1 billion in assets on just its second day of trading.
- Open interest and funding rates increase, but the current Bitcoin leverage ratio and put/call ratio point toward a more sustainable market structure when compared with the last bull run.
- Positive long-term holder trends continue to support the rally, while lack of short-term investor participation suggests it is still early innings.
- Bitcoin continues to dominate, but we expect capital rotations into Ethereum and other altcoins as the bull market progresses.
- Bottom Line: Given the current momentum and market structure, we remain buyers of Bitcoin and Ethereum into any near-term volatility.

CORE STRATEGY: FOCUS ON MAJORS, KEEP HEAD ON SWIVEL UNTIL BONDS/DXY RELENT We think it's right to expect a bounce into year-end, potentially starting tomorrow if PCE data comes in soft. In our view, this cycle is far from over, but until bonds find a bottom and the USD tops, it’s likely best for the more tactical investor to stay nimble and prepared for opportunities upon confirmation of this trend...
CORE STRATEGY Our base case assumes that the macro environment will remain accommodative for crypto through year-end. However, in light of recent market action, we remain alert for signs of a local top (not a cycle top). That said, it is difficult to justify a risk-averse stance at this stage and think it is right to lean into this altcoin rally.

Today's employment numbers broadly met investor expectations, placating a nervous market. Risk assets rallied, aligning with our view that yesterday's de-risking would not persist through today. Yields continued their downward trajectory, and Fed funds futures also declined, reflecting the market's adherence to the Fed's dovish messaging.

INDICATIONS OF FROTH Given the violent nature of the past month’s rally, we have been vigilant for signs of a local top. It would be disingenuous to claim that some qualitative "top signals" are not flashing right now. XRP—which we noted as a possible election trade back in October—with only 1–2k daily active addresses (vs ETH's over 400k, source: Artemis), is ripping toward new highs while influencers take to TikTok...
