Kalshi and BitGo roll out crypto-backed borrowing setup for select clients

Bloomberg reported that prediction market platform Kalshi has entered a new arrangement with crypto custody firm BitGo that will let certain clients borrow against digital assets held in custody and use the loan proceeds as margin for leveraged perpetual futures trading on the Kalshi exchange. The setup is aimed at clients of Kalshi Prime, Kalshi’s U.S.-registered futures commission merchant, and uses a three-party collateral management structure. Loans will be issued by affiliated lending company Kalshi Katalyst, while pledged assets will be held at BitGo Bank & Trust. Eligible collateral includes Bitcoin, Ether, and stablecoins viewed as compliant with the GENIUS Act. The report added that other custodians are expected to be added later. Kalshi Prime CEO Jeff Bandman said the arrangement is designed to let clients trade without exiting their crypto positions, and could appeal to crypto-native trading firms and whales holding large digital asset balances.

Sberbank wins authorization for a Russian crypto exchange ahead of a planned December launch

Sberbank has received authorization to operate a crypto exchange in Russia, with the launch currently planned for December. The bank intends to offer access to Bitcoin, Ether and USDT through its existing apps rather than a separate standalone product. The rollout will take place under Russia’s current investor rules, which require non-qualified investors to pass a test before participating and also subject them to purchase limits. The move puts one of Russia’s largest banks in position to enter the local digital asset market through a regulated channel. TheDefiant reported the planned launch timing and the initial list of assets the bank expects to support.

Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, has received authorization to operate a crypto exchange in the country and plans to roll out the service in December, according to Techub News.

Bitcoin ETF inflows hit a one-month high as weaker equities add pressure to crypto

Bitcoin fell about 1% over the past 24 hours and Ether lost 1.4% as weaker Asian equities and higher oil prices added pressure to risk assets, according to BlockBeats, citing QCP Capital. Even with that backdrop, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds posted roughly $526.6 million in net inflows on Monday, the strongest daily intake in a month. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the move with about $665.2 million in net inflows, its largest single-day haul since October 2025, while related products from Fidelity and Grayscale saw outflows. Spot Ether ETFs moved the other way, recording $103.3 million in net outflows for a fourth straight trading day, a sign that recent buying has been concentrated in Bitcoin rather than spread across the broader crypto market. QCP Capital said a continued sell-off in U.S. stocks, if it triggers broader deleveraging, could spill into digital assets and put Bitcoin’s $80,000 support level under pressure. The firm also pointed to U.S. Treasury yields, real yields and the dollar as key variables for risk assets.

Bitcoin slips to $81,400 as Korean chip stocks slide and options traders add downside hedges

Bitcoin fell to about $81,400 on Tuesday, down 0.5% since midnight UTC, even after U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in $526.6 million on Monday, their biggest one-day inflow in nearly a month. The move came as Asian equities weakened, led by a 3.73% drop in South Korea’s Kospi to its lowest close since April 7, with SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics under pressure on renewed concerns about AI spending. Nasdaq 100 futures were also lower. Across crypto, losses were broadly in line with bitcoin. Ether slipped 0.9% to near $2,385, the CoinDesk 80 fell 0.34%, and the DeFi sector index dropped 1.2%, the weakest among CoinDesk benchmarks. In derivatives, Coinalyze showed bitcoin open interest at $27.4 billion, down 0.6% over 24 hours, while Deribit put volume ran at more than twice call volume. The busiest contract was the Oct. 30 $80,000 put, and out-of-the-money puts traded at a premium of 2.5 to 4 volatility points over comparable calls, pointing to active demand for downside protection. Among individual tokens, Celestia outperformed while Sandbox, Arbitrum, Starknet, Uniswap, Morpho and Ethena all moved lower.
