The global crypto market opened this week on a positive note. After a brief period of correction last week, major institutional investors are once again pouring capital into digital assets, driving a significant increase in total market capitalization.

According to Coinmarketcap data on Monday (October 27, 2025) at 3:24 PM WIB, the total crypto market capitalization rose 3.47% in 24 hours, reaching US$ 3.9 trillion.
Leading the rally were the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

  • Bitcoin (BTC) traded around US$ 115,501, gaining 3.31% daily and 4.03% weekly.

  • Ethereum (ETH) climbed even higher to US$ 4,189, up 5.89% in 24 hours and 3.61% over the week.

According to Fyqieh Fachrur, an analyst at Tokocrypto, the market’s strength—especially in BTC and ETH—reflects a combination of institutional, technical, and macroeconomic factors.
“Institutional demand from major corporations and financial institutions continues to grow, showing increasing confidence in crypto as a long-term asset,” he explained.

One of the key catalysts came from Bitplanet, a South Korean company that announced a consistent Bitcoin purchase program with a target of 10,000 BTC.
Additionally, a wealth fund from Luxembourg revealed its decision to allocate 1% of its portfolio to Bitcoin, reinforcing BTC’s status as a hedge and alternative store of value amid global economic uncertainty.

These moves signal that major investors are now viewing cryptocurrencies—especially Bitcoin—not merely as speculative instruments but as legitimate long-term value assets in a volatile global environment.
