The leading cryptocurrency had an almost 40% gain in October, reaching a new all-time high of $66,975 as investors hailed the return of positive seasonality and the introduction of futures-based Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETFs) in the United States. Notably, that was the largest percentage gain in a single month since December 2020.

In the wake of the cryptocurrency’s October rise, central banks in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia will gather to examine the issue of inflation and consider policy responses.
