Bitcoin Sets New All-Time High Over $125,000, Surpassing August Record
Bitcoin set a new all-time high above $125,000 in early Asian trading, confirming “Uptober’s” bullish momentum as the crypto market shifts upward.
In early Asian trading hours on Sunday, Bitcoin surged past its prior ceiling to register a new all-time high of $125,750, eclipsing the previous record set in August.
The flagship cryptocurrency had endured a volatile September, but October (“Uptober”) has brought a sharp reversal in sentiment — and with it, a notable breakout.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
