Bitcoin surged past $84,000 on October 2, marking a 43% gain in Q3 2026 and outperforming gold and many stocks. This rally is supported by a 60% increase in Bitcoin futures open interest and recent SEC proposals allowing broader crypto custody options for investment advisers and regulated funds, which could boost institutional investment.
