The market ramp came hours after CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index reported a first-ever high of $6,500 on November 1, pushing the total market capitalization of Bitcoin to over $110 billion.
Recent price advances have increased the share of bitcoin's market capitalization compared to the rest of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. According to the data from CoinMarketCap, bitcoin accounts for nearly 60 percent of the entire $183 billion cryptocurrency market.
As of press time, the price had fallen back below $6,600, trading at around $6,579.

How AI is helping retail traders exploit prediction market 'glitches' to make easy money
A fully automated bot quietly captured micro-arbitrage opportunities on short-term crypto prediction markets, netting nearly $150,000
What to know:
- The bot exploited fleeting moments when “Yes” and “No” contracts briefly summed to less than $1, locking in roughly 1.5%–3% per trade across 8,894 executions.
- With typical five-minute crypto prediction markets showing only $5,000–$15,000 per side in depth, large desks would struggle to deploy serious capital without erasing the spread.
- As AI systems increasingly arbitrage prediction markets against options and derivatives pricing, these venues risk becoming reflections of broader crypto markets rather than independent sources of crowd-based probability.
