The crypto market entered October after a strong third quarter, with Bitcoin gaining about 7% in September to settle around $83,000 to $84,000. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $2.4 billion during the week ending September 25, their strongest weekly inflow since October 2025, while Ethereum finished the month around $2,650 to $2,700, also up roughly 7%. XRP also benefited from the late-September altcoin rebound, with cumulative inflows of $1.79 billion into XRP ETFs since launch, and key catalysts to watch in October include the first public testnet testing phase for Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade on October 6. Bitcoin historically finished October higher in 10 of the 13 years between 2013 and 2025, with an average monthly return of roughly 19%, but this six-year October winning streak was broken in 2025.
