  The recent surge in Bitcoin's price has been driven by several factors in the global cryptocurrency market: 1. **Spot Bitcoin ETF Approvals**: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently approved several spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This has encouraged significant institutional investment, bringing in billions of dollars into the crypto market. ETFs provide an easier entry point for traditional investors, increasing demand for Bitcoin【38】【40】. 2. **Anticipation of Bitcoin Halving**: The upcoming Bitcoin halving event in 2024 is also a major contributor. This event, which occurs roughly every four years, reduces the reward for Bitcoin mining, effectively lowering the supply of new Bitcoin. Historically, such events have led to significant price increases【40】. 3. **Increased Trading Volumes**: A surge in trading activity, especially in Bitcoin-linked equities and investment vehicles (referred to as the "Bitcoin Industrial Complex"), has fu...

The recent sharp fall in the Indian stock market is attributed largely to the heavy selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), who have been offloading their holdings at a record pace. In October 2024 alone, FIIs sold over Rs 77,700 crore worth of Indian equities, leading to significant losses on major indices like the BSE Sensex, which dropped by more than 3,000 points. This exodus of foreign capital is driven by several global economic factors and heightened uncertainty in emerging markets like India. One of the primary reasons behind the FII pullout is the rise in U.S. Treasury yields.
