Crypto Market Update: Senate Democrats Demand Trump Envoy Explain Undivested Crypto Stakes

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (October 22) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$108,323, a 1 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$107,393, and its highest was US$113,804.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes gold’s explosive performance this year could offer a glimpse of what lies ahead for Bitcoin, arguing that the world’s top cryptocurrency may be preparing for a similar structural breakout once its remaining pool of sellers runs dry.

Gold has surged roughly 57 percent in 2025, powered largely by sustained central bank accumulation. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has traded in a relatively narrow range between US$108,000 and US$112,000. According to Hougan, the comparison between the two assets provides a potential roadmap for their trajectory going into next year.

“Don’t look at gold’s meteoric rise with envy. Look at it with anticipation. It could end up showing us where bitcoin is headed,” Hougan wrote in a client note this week.

In addition,wWhile central banks have yet to enter the market, steady accumulation by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and corporate treasuries has provided a similar source of structural demand.

Since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, institutions and corporations have purchased roughly 1.39 million BTC, far outpacing new supply generated by the network.

Market data this week supports the idea of renewed accumulation. Following a US$19 billion liquidation event earlier this month, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded US$477 million in positive net inflows. This rebound has helped steady institutional confidence even as gold’s rally begins to cool after testing record highs.

Still, Bitcoin remains under short-term pressure, down more than 4 percent over the past week and trading below US$108,000.

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) was priced at US$3,843.43, a 2.7 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3,798.70, and its highest was US$4,106.40.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$184.80, down 2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$183.38 , and its highest was US$197.26.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.39, a decrease of 2.6 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest was US$2.38 and its highest was US$2.53.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index, Bitcoin price and Bitcoin volume

Chart via CoinMarketCap.

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains locked in a state of anxiety, sitting in “fear” territory (29) for seven consecutive days and markings its longest streak since April.

The sentiment gauge’s stagnation reflects a growing sense of caution among investors, as Bitcoin continues to trade within a narrow band between US$103,000 and US$115,000 for nearly two weeks.

Over the past 30 days, the index has been in greed territory for just seven days—the same period when Bitcoin reached its all-time high of YS$126,000 in early October. Since then, investor sentiment has reversed sharply. The current fear phase began on October 11, a day after the largest liquidation event in crypto history erased more than US$20 billion in leveraged positions.

Historically, similar periods of heightened fear have marked turning points for Bitcoin. The last extended stretch of fear occurred in March and April during the Trump administration’s tariff standoff with China, when Bitcoin bottomed near US$76,000.

Market analysts say the prevailing mood underscores uncertainty following the Federal Reserve’s recent policy pivot and renewed US-China trade negotiations.

Today’s crypto news to know

Senate Democrats demand Trump envoy explain undivested crypto stakes

Senate Democrats have called on Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, to explain why he has not divested from his crypto holdings despite federal ethics requirements.

In a letter led by Senator Adam Schiff, eight lawmakers pressed Witkoff for details on his interests in World Liberty Financial, the Trump-linked crypto firm he co-founded in 2024, and several affiliated entities.

Witkoff’s latest ethics disclosure, dated August 13, shows he still owns stakes in multiple crypto-related businesses, including WC Digital Fi LLC and SC Financial Technologies LLC. Lawmakers allege these investments pose potential conflicts of interest given his diplomatic role and the company’s business ties to the United Arab Emirates.

The scrutiny follows a New York Times report linking Witkoff’s crypto dealings to a US$2 billion Emirati investment in Binance funded through World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, USD1.

Neither the White House nor World Liberty Financial has commented on the matter.

FalconX announced plans to acquire 21Shares

FalconX announced plans to acquire 21Shares, one of Europe’s leading crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) issuers.

The deal, confirmed Wednesday, will integrate FalconX’s prime brokerage operations, which serves over 2,000 institutional clients, with 21Shares’ portfolio of 55 listed products across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets.

21Shares currently oversees more than US$11 billion in assets and will continue operating independently under CEO Russell Barlow following the acquisition.

While the financial terms remain undisclosed, the deal marks FalconX’s third major acquisition this year, following Arbelos Markets and Monarq Asset Management.

Hong Kong approves first spot Solana ETF

Hong Kong regulators have approved the region’s first spot Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund.

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) granted authorization to China Asset Management Company (ChinaAMC) to launch the Hua Xia Solana ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 27.

The product will trade through OSL Exchange with OSL Digital Securities as sub-custodian and BOCI-Prudential Trustee Limited serving as the primary custodian. Each unit will consist of 100 shares, with a minimum investment of about US$100.

The fund’s debut makes Solana the third cryptocurrency—after Bitcoin and Ethereum—to receive regulatory approval for a spot ETF in Hong Kong.

Traceable Gold Production Linked to Regeneration Efforts in Abandoned Mines

Regeneration, a Washington-based public benefit company, is turning abandoned mine waste in the river valleys of Yukon and British Columbia into responsibly sourced gold.

Founded out of the nonprofit Resolve, Regeneration uses advanced re-mining technology to extract remaining metals from historical placer sites while restoring rivers and habitats damaged by more than a century of mining.

“We shouldn’t let mine waste go to waste–we should treat it as an opportunity,” said Stephen D’Esposito, Regeneration’s president and CEO.

Regeneration’s projects began in Alaska and the Yukon, where decades of placer mining left behind mounds of sediment that smothered salmon-bearing streams.

Re-mining tailings also allows recovery of critical minerals, such as cobalt and rare earths, that earlier miners overlooked or lacked the technology to extract.

But perhaps most importantly, the company’s thrust is hinged on environmental restoration.

“Sometimes days later, we’ve had anadromous fish coming up to a site,” Carly Vynne, the company’s chief restoration officer and a biologist, told CBC.

Vynne described how recontoured riverbeds and replanted vegetation have quickly brought fish back to once-barren creeks. To date, the firm has restored 1,825 meters of streams and 20 acres of upland habitat using proceeds from gold sales.

For brands like Mejuri, partnering with Regeneration bridges environmental repair with consumer expectations. The jeweler also released its newest Salmon Gold collection last year.

The company’s mission has gained momentum as geopolitical and economic tensions send gold prices soaring.

Analysts attribute the metal’s record-breaking October rally to a wave of safe-haven demand triggered by worsening US-China trade tensions, including Beijing’s expanded export restrictions on rare earth elements and Washington’s threats of new tariffs and technology export controls.

Gold first breached the US$4,000 mark on October 8, climbing steadily as investors fled volatile equity markets and a prolonged US government shutdown added to uncertainty.

D’Esposito acknowledges that while the environmental and commercial logic of re-mining is clear, the financial model is still evolving.

“There’s no financial model that the market accepts for how you prove what’s in your tailings,” he said. “Interestingly, it’s not the business of the industry to mine waste.”

Still, with the gold market surging amid geopolitical turmoil and growing interest in ethically sourced metals, Regeneration’s timing could hardly be better.

“When a mine closes, it doesn’t have to be the end of the story,” D’Esposito emphasized.

Japan plans to tell Trump it will build up its military after years of 1% defense spending

After years of pressure to increase defense spending, Japan announced plans to do so just ahead of a trip by President Donald Trump to the region next week.

‘We are firmly preparing for President Trump’s visit,’ Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said.

Trump is expected to meet with Japan’s new hawkish Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who took office on Tuesday and leads a new right-wing coalition. Trump already congratulated the new prime minister on becoming Japan’s first female top leader.

Motegi said the new government hoped to strengthen U.S. relations during the visit and build a personal relationship with the Trump administration.

Defense analysts have long called on Japan to increase its defense spending, which stands at 1% of GDP. The nation is currently undergoing a five-year military buildup with aims at 2% defense spending by 2027. Takachi plans to move the 2027 target up to this year, according to a Kyodo News report.

During the meeting with Trump, Takaichi is expected to face pressure to raise defense spending even further to match NATO’s 5% target.

Next week Trump is set to travel to Asia for meetings in Japan, Malaysia and South Korea, where he will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

The meetings come as U.S.-China relations have turned frigid, with Beijing cutting off exports of key critical minerals and the U.S. cutting off tariff negotiations.

Takaichi, who as a young woman spent time interning in the U.S. Congress, has expressed concern about Japan’s reliance on the U.S., but signaled intentions to work closely with Trump. She took office on a recent populist wave in Japan similar to the MAGA movement.

The U.S. has spooked some Japanese officials with Trump’s suggestion that Japan should pay for U.S. troops in the region. Around 60,000 U.S. military personnel are stationed in Japan, making it the largest foreign host of U.S. forces.

Adding to those concerns, a trade framework in July placed a 15% tariff on imported Japanese goods, with higher rates for steel, aluminum and auto parts.

Takaichi has taken a hawkish approach to China and declared ‘Japan is back,’ while promising to more strictly regulate immigration and tourism and suggesting Japan’s textbooks should revise how they teach World War II to reflect a more nationalistic view.

The shift marks a dramatic moment for Japan’s postwar defense policy, which has traditionally emphasized restraint under its pacifist constitution. A push toward rearmament under Takaichi would cement a broader regional trend toward military expansion, as China, South Korea and Taiwan all race to modernize their forces amid growing instability in the Indo-Pacific.

Scammers target retirees with election tricks and fake polling updates ahead of Nov 4 vote

Election season should be about casting your vote and making your voice heard. But for scammers, it’s an opportunity to trick retirees into handing over personal details, money or even their vote itself.

What many don’t realize is that public voter registration data is one of the biggest tools fraudsters use. With elections coming up on Nov. 4, scammers are already scraping these records and using them to create targeted scams. If you’re a retiree or helping a parent or loved one prepare to vote, here’s how to stay safe.

Get my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you’ll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide — free when you join my CYBERGUY.COM newsletter 

Why voter records are public and risky

Every state in the U.S. keeps voter registration lists. These include personal details like:

  • Full name
  • Home address
  • Phone number (in some states)
  • Political party affiliation
  • Voting history (whether you voted, not who you voted for).

While these lists are meant for transparency, they’re often made available online or sold in bulk. Data brokers scoop them up, combine them with other records and suddenly scammers have a detailed profile of you: your age, address and voting habits. For retirees, this exposure is especially dangerous. Why? Because seniors are less likely to know that this information is floating around, making scams seem more convincing.

You can easily check where your personal information is exposed with a free data exposure scanner. 

Get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web: Cyberguy.com

Scams targeting retirees before Nov. 4

Here are the most common election-season cons fraudsters are already running:

1) Fake ‘polling place’ updates

You might get a call, text or email saying your polling location has changed. Scammers may then direct you to a fake site that asks for your Social Security number or ID details ‘to confirm eligibility.’

2) ‘Voter ID update’ messages

Since some states require voter ID, scammers will pose as election officials, claiming your ID is ‘out of date’ or that you must upload personal documents. These go straight into the wrong hands.

3) Donation scams

Criminals set up fake political donation sites with names resembling real campaigns. Retirees who are politically active or generous with causes are prime targets here.

4) Absentee ballot phishing

Scammers know many seniors vote by mail. They’ll send emails offering to ‘help’ with requests or track your ballot while stealing your personal data in the process.

Red flags to watch out for

Scammers use clever tricks to make their messages seem urgent and official. Here are the warning signs that should make you pause before responding.

  • Urgency: ‘Act now or lose your right to vote.’ Scammers use deadlines to scare you.
  • Unusual payment requests: No legitimate election office will ever ask for payment to vote or register.
  • Strange links: If you’re asked to click on a link from a text or email, stop. Always go directly to your state’s official election website instead.
  • Requests for sensitive info: Election officials don’t need your Social Security number or bank account details.

How retirees can stay safe this election season

Protecting yourself doesn’t mean opting out of civic life. It means taking a few smart steps:

1) Reduce your data footprint

This one matters most. The less personal data available about you, the fewer opportunities scammers have to trick you during election season. When they can view your age, address and even your voting history, they can craft messages that sound alarmingly real. The good news is you can take control and limit what’s out there.

Reaching every voter data broker or people-search site on your own is nearly impossible, and most make the process intentionally difficult. That’s why data removal services can help. They automatically send removal requests to hundreds of data-broker sites and keep monitoring to ensure your information doesn’t return. The result is fewer scam calls, fewer phishing emails and far less risk this election season.

While no service can guarantee the complete removal of your data from the internet, a data removal service is really a smart choice. They aren’t cheap, and neither is your privacy. These services do all the work for you by actively monitoring and systematically erasing your personal information from hundreds of websites.  It’s what gives me peace of mind and has proven to be the most effective way to erase your personal data from the internet. By limiting the information available, you reduce the risk of scammers cross-referencing data from breaches with information they might find on the dark web, making it harder for them to target you.

Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com

2) Confirm only through official sources

If you get a message about your polling place, ignore any links and call your local election office directly. Each state also has an official website you can trust.

3) Sign up for ballot tracking

Many states offer secure ballot tracking online. Use only the official election site, not third-party services.

4) Freeze your credit

Since scammers use voter data to impersonate you, a credit freeze stops them from opening new accounts in your name. Retirees who don’t need frequent new credit are especially good candidates for this protection.

5) Be wary of political donation sites

If you want to donate, type the campaign’s official website into your browser instead of clicking a link in an email or social media ad.

Kurt’s key takeaway

Voting is one of the most important rights we have. But this year, scammers will use public voter data to exploit retirees like never before. Don’t let them steal your peace of mind. By spotting the red flags, sticking to official election sources and removing your personal data from the web, you can protect yourself and your vote.

Have you or someone you know received a suspicious message about voting or donations? How did you realize or suspect that it was a scam? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com

Hawley vows to hold Democrats’ ‘feet to the fire’ with new government shutdown funding bills

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is looking to hold Democrats’ ‘feet to the fire’ with new legislation seeking special funding for farmers and food assistance programs amid the government shutdown.

Hawley’s bills would reinstate federal funding for the Farm Service Agency as well as the federal SNAP food program. Democrats have so far refused to work with Republicans amid the government shutdown, now the second-longest in U.S. history.

‘We need to start forcing Democrats to make some tough votes. We need to start holding their feet to the fire,’ Hawley said in an interview with Fox News Digital. ‘I mean, do they really not want people to be able to eat? This situation is ridiculous.’

He says the farm bill is critical as the shutdown has landed squarely in harvest season for much of the country, including his home state of Missouri.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has led Republicans in voting to fund the government 11 times since the shutdown began on Oct. 1, but Democrats have refused to cooperate, demanding extensive changes to the budget.

President Donald Trump has taken executive action to secure funding for members of the military, but the vast majority of the government remains stalled.

‘I have huge respect for what President Trump has done during this shutdown with shifting the funding pools available to him to help servicemembers and police. But even he is going to run out of tools soon,’ Hawley said.

Trump, speaking to Hawley and other Senate Republicans at the White House on Tuesday, accused Democrats of ‘holding the entire federal government hostage.’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, R-N.Y., has remained obstinate in his demands for an extension to expiring Obamacare subsidies. Though Senate Republicans have been open to holding a vote on the matter after the government reopens, Democrats want an ironclad guarantee that the subsidies will be extended well before their expiration at the end of this year.

Thune reiterated at the White House on Tuesday that Senate Republicans are united in their war of attrition strategy to continue putting the same bill on the floor again and again.

‘I mean, they want $1.5 trillion in new spending. They want free healthcare for people who are noncitizens in this country. That is just a flat nonstarter. It doesn’t pass the Senate. It won’t pass the House. It won’t be signed into law by the president,’ Thune said.

CHARBONE annonce la reception des principales composantes sur le site de Sorel-Tracy et le lancement des travaux civils

(TheNewswire)

Charbone Hydrogen Corporation

Brossard, Quebec TheNewswire – le 22 octobre 2025 CORPORATION CHARBONE (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) (« CHARBONE » ou la « Société »), un producteur et distributeur nord-américain spécialisé dans l’hydrogène propre à Ultra Haute Pureté (« UHP ») et les gaz industriels stratégiques, est heureuse d’annoncer la réception, en toute sécurité et sans incident, de l’ensemble des composantes majeures de ses équipements de production sur le site de Sorel-Tracy .

Allied Critical Metals Drills 10.0 Metres of 1.11% Tungstenat Borralha

Substantial Assays Strengthen Shallow Central-South Mineralization and Support Robust Outlook for Upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment

Allied Critical Metals Inc. (CSE: ACM,OTC:ACMIF) (OTCQB: ACMIF) (FSE: 0VJ0) (‘Allied’ or the ‘Company’), which is focused on its 100% owned past producing Borralha and Vila Verde tungsten projects in northern Portugal, is pleased to announce new assay results from its ongoing Reverse Circulation (‘RC’) drill program at the 100%-owned Borralha Tungsten Project in northern Portugal.

The latest results include one of the longer and highest-grade intervals drilled to date at Borralha’s Santa Helena Breccia (‘SHB’), further confirming the continuity of high-grade mineralization within the backbone of the deposit.

Borralha is delivering stronger, wider, and higher-grade intercepts than expected, positioning Allied to unlock significant resource growth and advance one of the most strategic tungsten projects in the Western world. Tungsten price reached a high of USD $670/MTU, up approximately 50% in last 6 months as demand for the critical mineral increases with further supply chain restrictions from non-Western countries.

Highlights:

  • Bo_RC_16:

    • 90.0 m @ 0.24% WO₃ from 60.0 m, including:

      • 40.0 m @ 0.40% WO₃ from 100.0 m

      • 10.0 m @ 1.11% WO₃ from 100.0 m, including 6.0 m @ 1.78% WO₃

    • Additional 12.0 m @ 0.33% Cu, 25 g/t Ag, and 138 ppm Mo from 188.0 m

  • Bo_RC_18:

    • 74.0 m @ 0.12% WO₃ from 154.0 m, including:

      • 14.0 m @ 0.15% WO₃ from 192.0 m

      • 2.0 m @ 0.35% WO₃ from 226.0 m

  • Bo_RC_19:

    • 4.0 m @ 0.19% WO₃ from 124.0 m

Geological Context

Bo_RC_16 was drilled at the western dip edge of the central-south backbone of the current Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’). The objective was to strengthen resource resolution for the forthcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) in an area where higher-grade mineralization was previously interpreted to taper off. Instead, the hole returned higher and more consistent grades than anticipated, significantly widening the central-south mineralization and delivering one of the highest metal factor intercepts ever recorded at Borralha’s SHB.

Bo_RC_18 and Bo_RC_19 targeted the transition ‘gap’ central zone between the central-south high-grade backbone and the recently discovered north-dipping large medium-grade lode, an area historically interpreted as lower grade. Results exceeded current MRE expectations, returning grades above the deposit average and strengthening the geological bridge between two high-grade domains. This continuity is expected to be an important factor in resource growth and future mine design.

Roy Bonnell, CEO and Director of Allied, commented: ‘Borralha continues to surprise us on the upside, Bo_RC_16 has delivered one of the strongest intercepts ever drilled on the project, expanding the high-grade central-south mineralization. Meanwhile, Bo_RC_18 and Bo_RC_19 has successfully demonstrated mineralization continuity in what was considered a weaker zone. Together, these results confirm both scale and grade potential as we advance towards our updated MRE and PEA.’

Drill Program Progress

To date, 4,210 metres of drilling have been completed from the initially planned 5,625-metre Phase 1 campaign. The program focus was:

  • Expanding and upgrading the current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), expected in Q4 2025.

  • The development of a robust Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

  • Supporting underground mine design and integration with ongoing EIA review.

Further assay results are expected in the coming weeks as drilling advances towards completion.

Sampling, QA/QC and Analytical Notes

Drilling was completed using reverse-circulation (RC). All sample bags were pre-labelled with a unique internal sequence number used consistently for the assay sample and corresponding reject. Sampling was conducted on 2.0 m intervals for analytics. For each 2.0 m interval, two 1.0 m reject samples were also collected as representative splits. Splitting was performed at the rig via a rotary splitter integral to the RC cyclone.

Sampling followed pre-prepared sample lists that recorded downhole metreage, sequence, and the placement of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) and field duplicates. CRMs were inserted at a rate of 1 in 20 samples (5%) and field duplicates at 1 in 20 samples (5%), arranged so that every 10th sample alternated between a CRM and a duplicate.

Analytical and reject samples were boxed at the drill site and transported by company personnel to the project core/logging facility. Analytical samples were stored on labelled pallets pending direct shipment to ALS’s preparation laboratory in Seville, Spain. Pulps and rejects were subsequently stored securely in the project logging room.

At ALS Seville, samples were crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, riffle-split to ~250 g, and pulverized using hardened steel to 85% passing 75 μm. Pulps were shipped to ALS Loughrea (Ireland) for analysis. The primary analytical method was ME-MS81 (lithium borate fusion with ICP-MS finish). Base metals were also reported using ME-4ACD81 (four-acid digestion with ICP-MS finish). Over-limit tungsten results were re-assayed using W-XRF15b (lithium borate fusion with XRF). Analytical results were delivered directly by ALS to the Company via secure electronic transfer.

Primary disclosure remains the reported grade and interval length (and true width where known).

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors have been identified that would materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referenced herein.

About the Borralha Tungsten Project

Allied’s Borralha Tungsten Project is one of the largest and most historically significant past-producing tungsten operations in Western Europe. Located in northern Portugal, Borralha was once the second-largest tungsten mine in the country and supplied strategic materials to European and Allied industries during the 20th century, including both World Wars and the Cold War period.

Today, the project is undergoing a modern revitalization based on a combination of scale, grade, metallurgy, and jurisdictional strength. Mineralization is dominated by coarse-grained wolframite, which is highly desirable in global markets due to its favorable processing characteristics and higher recoveries compared to scheelite-bearing deposits.

Borralha benefits from existing infrastructure, shallow mineralization, and a simple processing route, making it one of the most advanced tungsten development projects in the European Union. These attributes are particularly important in the context of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (2024/1252) and NATO strategic autonomy initiatives, both of which explicitly identify tungsten as a defense-critical raw material subject to severe supply risk.

With the EU currently dependent on over 80% of its tungsten imports from China, Borralha represents a rare and strategic opportunity to develop a secure, domestic, and NATO-aligned supply source. As Allied continues to advance drilling, resource expansion, and economic studies, Borralha is poised to play a central role in reshaping Europe’s tungsten landscape-supporting both decarbonization technologies and defense-industrial resilience.
