A quick digest of the latest world headlines: the UN Security Council turned up the pressure over Houthi attacks in the Red Sea region, and Wall Street buyers made their presence felt in Bitcoin even as October ETF outflows continued.
UN Security Council condemns Houthi attacks
The UN Security Council condemned recent Houthi attacks, adding a new international-pressure marker on the Saudi–Houthi front. The move keeps the focus on security in the region’s shipping lanes, where freight and insurance risk remains elevated. (Source: Express Tribune world section.)
Wall Street buys the dip: Fidelity and Morgan Stanley add Bitcoin
Institutional buyers showed a clear counter-signal to this month’s selling pressure. Fidelity’s FBTC fund bought $354.1 million worth of Bitcoin over 20 trading days, while Morgan Stanley added 92 coins this week, taking its holdings to 10,639 BTC. The buying stands against the roughly $986 million in combined October outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Market snapshot
Bitcoin traded around $83,085, up about 0.9% at the time of the latest check, while Ether was last known near $2,491–$2,494.
