The Vanguard guide after opening access to ETF trading and cryptocurrency-based mutual funds for brokerage clients has not changed its skeptical stance on Bitcoin.
Digital gold should rather be viewed as a speculative collectible item, rather than a functioning asset, stated John Ameriks, head of Vanguard's quantitative investments department.
He noted that cryptocurrency does not possess properties that ensure income, compound interest, and cash flow. Since there is no compelling evidence that the underlying technology provides sustainable economic value, "it is difficult to consider Bitcoin as anything more than a digital equivalent of Labubu," emphasized the manager. 0 $BTC #ВТС

Prediction markets expressed doubts about Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by the end of the year — the probability of the event on Kalshi and Polymarket is 42% and 39%, respectively.
Among the constraining factors are macroeconomic uncertainty and a slowdown in corporate reserve replenishment.
Technical analysts point to the formation of a "triangle" pattern — a breakout above $94,000 will open the way to $108,000, but first, a retest of the former support zone around $98,000 must occur. However, my opinion remains - Bitcoin is likely to rise already next week .. #BTC $BTC
The head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, characterized the rate at the recent meeting as being in "neutral territory," but emphasized the dependence of future decisions on incoming data.
Senior market strategist at Creative Planning, Charlie Bilello, pointed to the paradox of the current cycle — stocks, real estate, gold, money supply, and U.S. government debt are at historical highs, while inflation remains at 4% (double the target).
The oversold condition of the cryptocurrency market could indeed become a good entry point, but macroeconomic contradictions are not going anywhere, Bilello stated. A reduction in the Fed's key rate will not be a sufficient stimulus for immediate growth, and the cautious position of the regulator risks delaying the update of Bitcoin's ATH at least until spring.

📊 Crypto market: caution today, hopes for growth tomorrow
The cryptocurrency market remains volatile: Bitcoin hovers around $89K, Ethereum is experiencing a moderate decline. Investors maintain caution, but Coinbase analysts expect a possible recovery as early as December — a decrease in Fed rates could serve as a powerful stimulus.

Mark Zuckerberg, who a few years ago renamed Facebook for the ambitious idea of a virtual world, is now ready to significantly cut funding for his "child." According to media reports, the Reality Labs division, responsible for VR headsets, virtual worlds, and other "meta" projects, plans to reduce the budget by 30%.
Such plans threaten mass layoffs and possibly the end of several initiatives within the metaverse — from headsets to social platforms like Horizon Worlds.
📈 Interestingly, the market greeted the news with enthusiasm — Meta's shares rose after rumors about budget cuts. Apparently, investors see this as a signal that the company is returning to a more pragmatic course.
🤔 For the industry, this may mean a redistribution of priorities: from virtual worlds to more "realistic" bets, like AI, "smart" devices, and other areas that generate revenue today. #meta #news $BTC
