Bitcoin breaks $125 K as Paul Tudor Jones calls it “very appealing” on CNBC
Wall Street funds report $3.9 B in Bitcoin gains as institutional exposure widens
Jones compares Bitcoin to gold and tech stocks, calling it a scarce hedge for today’s market

Bitcoin extended its record-setting run this week, reaching a new ATH of $126,198.07 , on October 7th. This has now made billionaire hedge-fund manager Paul Tudor Jones describe Bitcoin as “very appealing” in this latest macro environment.

His comments are the clearest sign yet that Wall Street’s big names are once again warming to digital assets as inflation and policy easing reshape risk appetite.

Jones: Fiscal Policy Is Fueling Bitcoin’s Appeal

Speaking on CNBC, Jones said Bitcoin’s setup reminds him of 1999’s tech rally, but with stronger fundamentals. He pointed to the 6% U.S. budget deficit and the Federal Reserve’s renewed easing cycle as the backdrop favoring scarce assets.

Over the last week, Bitcoin saw a 13% increase in value, climbing from $109,000 at the end of September to its current price of $124,500 as of the time of writing.

The veteran trader first disclosed a Bitcoin position in 2020 when the asset traded near $9,000. His renewed endorsement now, with prices 14 times higher, underscores how far the asset has come in mainstream portfolio thinking.

Bitcoin vs Gold: Scarcity Meets Velocity

Jones contrasted Bitcoin’s trajectory with gold’s slower grind higher. While gold still holds value as a hedge, he noted it has lagged inflation-adjusted returns, whereas Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million-coin supply introduces a sharper scarcity premium.

He also pointed out that Bitcoin’s unique features, such as its fixed supply and decentralized nature, give it an edge over traditional safe-haven assets like gold.

Bitcoin’s rise has coincided with a broader shift in investor sentiment toward alternative assets. Both retail and institutional players are increasingly viewing Bitcoin not just as a speculative investment, but as a fundamental component of a diversified portfolio. As Jones suggested, a mix of Bitcoin, gold, and tech equities like the Nasdaq could be ideal for investors looking to deal with a market filled with fiscal and monetary challenges.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

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.
