Insider Newsletter - Fed Opens Door to Crypto & Bitcoin Holds at $110K | 10-24-2025

Welcome to this week’s edition of our Insights Newsletter! 

A summary of this week's highlights: markets balanced innovation and uncertainty this week. The Federal Reserve signaled plans to grant direct access to fintech and crypto firms, boosting optimism for digital finance integration. Bitcoin stayed above $110K with solid momentum, while Ethereum drew steady inflows. Globally, China’s growth slowed to 4.8%, inflation in Canada and the U.K. added pressure, and new sanctions on Russia intensified geopolitical strain. As BRICS nations turned to gold and the U.S. advanced stablecoin adoption, the world economy showed deeper fragmentation and shifting monetary power dynamics.

In this week’s webinars, Ben and Roman hosted another backtesting session, where they backtested Ethereum and showcased what happens during a classical Ethereum fakeout. 

Yesterday, Ben and Raffa tested new setups and coins with the Quick Scanner, also showcasing the ladder trading strategy, and debated on automation vs manual trading.

Plus, we wanted to remind you that Hyperliquid is officially part of Altrady’s exchanges lineup. That means you can trade on this exchange via Altrady – perpetual futures only for the moment. Very soon, Toobit exchange will also be integrated. We’ll make sure to announce you once that’s officially in the books, too.

And another important announcement is that Version 4.8.36 is now Live: Stop Market Orders Supported!

This new version brings added support for exchange stop market orders. It means that many exchanges now support stop market orders natively – you can easily check compatibility inside the platform.

If an exchange does not support this feature, you’ll see a small * next to its name.

The currently unsupported exchanges are:

• Coinbase
• Gate 
• HitBTC 
• Huobi 
• MEXC

A warning will appear on order confirmation if you’re using an unsupported exchange.

*Important note:
If you’ve been using Stop Market orders to avoid reserving funds, please switch to “Start position at” instead.  It offers the same functionality, but works across all exchanges, not just those supporting stop market orders.

Breaking News

The Federal Reserve Eyes Direct Access for Fintech & Crypto Firms!

A major shift in U.S. financial infrastructure may be underway.

Fed Governor Christopher J. Waller revealed at the Payments Innovation Conference in Washington, D.C., that the Federal Reserve is exploring a new “payment account” framework, a bold move that could grant fintech and blockchain companies direct access to core Fed payment systems.

If adopted, this initiative would mark a historic step toward integrating blockchain and DeFi technologies into the U.S. financial system, reshaping how digital assets interact with traditional finance.

Macro-Economic Update

Key Data This Week:

China Q3 Growth Slows to 4.8% Amid Trade and Property Pressures

China’s economy grew 4.8% year-on-year in Q3 2025, down from 5.2% in Q2 and marking its slowest expansion since Q3 2024. The moderation, in line with expectations, reflects weaker consumer demand, U.S. trade tensions, and a prolonged property slump. 

While industrial output strengthened ahead of Golden Week and trade data beat forecasts, retail sales growth slowed to a one-year low and unemployment remained elevated. 

The National Bureau of Statistics warned of persistent headwinds but said 5.2% growth year-to-date lays a solid base for meeting the 5% full-year target.

Wallet Inflows & Outflows Weekly Report

Top 2 Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH)

Unusual Week for Crypto Flows as Bitcoin Stalls and Ethereum Attracts Inflows

It was an anomalous week for major crypto portfolio flows. Bitcoin showed no significant movement throughout the week except for a sharp outflow on October 24, which, however, was not reflected in price action on the charts. 

In contrast, Ethereum recorded steady inflows for most of the week even as its price declined, struggling to find static support levels amid weakening momentum.

Economic Trends Affecting Crypto Markets

Inflation Data from Canada & U.K. Add to Market Strain as Russia Faces New Sanctions

A volatile week for global markets as new Western sanctions on Russia reignited geopolitical tensions, while inflation in Canada and the U.K. stayed stubbornly high, keeping central banks under pressure. 

The FSB’s latest warning on crypto regulation gaps underscored ongoing oversight risks for digital assets. 

Overall, a week marked by persistent inflation, rising sanctions, and cautious sentiment across traditional and crypto markets alike.

Key Macroeconomic Insights

Global Fragmentation Deepens as BRICS Turn to Gold and U.S. Backs Digital Dollar Stability

Global markets navigated a week of heightened geopolitical and monetary tension. 
The U.S.–China rivalry intensified as Beijing imposed new restrictions on critical mineral exports and accused Washington of cyber intrusions, while Europe hardened its stance against Moscow with a fresh sanctions package targeting Russian LNG imports.

Meanwhile, BRICS nations deepened coordination to expand gold holdings as a safeguard against dollar dependency and Western sanctions, signaling a collective shift toward commodity-backed reserves. The U.S., in turn, continued to promote stablecoins as part of a broader effort to preserve financial dominance in the digital era.
