CryptoSlate Oct 21   READ IN APP   German savings-bank customers can now buy Bitcoin inside the Sparkasse app, with DekaBank holding the keys. The rollout starts with participating banks rather than the whole network, and its transfer rules exclude personal self-custody wallets. Bank distribution is expanding, but access still depends on where customers bank and how they want to hold their coins. Switzerland has also approved its first Swiss-law retail Bitcoin ETF, without yet naming an issuer or trading date. Meanwhile, Glassnode’s latest positioning data show traders paying more for bullish leverage even as spot selling persists. Top News Germany’s main savings bank network launches Bitcoin trading Image by CryptoSlate. Deka launched the service on October 19 for adult current-account holders at participating Sparkassen; five banks were listed as of October 20. Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP and POL are available, with each buy or sell charged €0.99 plus a spread whose rate is absent from the pricing sheet. Deka permits outbound transfers only to specified providers, and has disclosed no customer uptake figures. Switzerland approves landmark Bitcoin ETF after ruling trading volume sufficient FINMA granted a fund-specific diversification exemption for direct Bitcoin exposure. Custody and sales safeguards still apply, while the regulator’s announcement leaves the issuer, fees and trading start date unspecified. Bitcoin’s next selloff could be amplified by the traders still betting on its recovery Glassnode’s October 19 report put futures open interest at $36.4 billion as long-side funding payments rose 49.4% over the week. The combination leaves leveraged buyers vulnerable if spot selling forces position closures. What We’re Watching The Federal Reserve meets on October 27–28. Watch whether its decision and guidance alter financing conditions for leveraged traders; the current positioning data do not establish which way Bitcoin will move. Elsewhere in Crypto JPMorgan models Bitcoin reaching $385,000 in 10-year bull case despite CEO Jamie Dimon’s criticism. The bank’s scenarios remain conditional; high projected volatility keeps Bitcoin outside its core portfolio models. BNB Chain burns $1.2B in October tokens, leaving real supply impact hidden. The October burn removed 1.9% more tokens than July’s, without establishing fresh open-market purchases. Drift hacker washes $63M through Tornado Cash, leaving recovery claims in limbo. One exploiter-linked wallet moved 25,710 ETH; users’ eventual payouts still depend on funding entering Drift’s Recovery Pool. Elon Musk and Anthropic unveil AI wealth-sharing plans that could reach over $110 billion. Musk’s pledge and Anthropic’s proposal would distribute equity, with eligibility, approval and future share values still unresolved.
