“content”: “Digital asset markets experienced significant volatility during Sunday trading sessions, with major cryptocurrencies facing downward pressure while select altcoins posted notable gains. Bitcoin declined 2% to trade at $108,100, while Ethereum fell 4% to $3,720. BNB witnessed a more pronounced drop of 6% to $1,020, and Solana decreased 5% to $176.\n\nAmong the standout performers, ASTER surged 8% following an initial 25% spike after industry executive Changpeng Zhao publicly disclosed his acquisition of the token and commitment to long-term holding. The token subsequently retraced most of its intraday gains. TRUMP token advanced 3% despite former President Donald Trump distancing himself from Zhao following recent pardon developments, stating he had no prior acquaintance with the cryptocurrency figure.\n\nIn corporate developments, Microsoft secured a substantial $9.7 billion agreement to procure cloud services from Bitcoin mining enterprise IREN, propelling IREN shares 20% higher in premarket activity. Prediction markets gained attention after Elon Musk referenced Polymarket during his appearance on a popular podcast.\n\nMarket analysts noted Bitcoin concluded October with negative returns for the first time in seven years. Separately, Tether disclosed approximately $10 billion in profits for the initial three quarters of 2025. The Balancer v2 decentralized finance protocol suffered a security breach resulting in over $110 million in exploited funds from liquidity pools.”,
