Bitcoin could bottom in October, altcoins are ‘basically dead,’ Swan CEO says
Klippsten said Bitcoin could bottom about a year after its previous peak and argued that crypto’s best outcome is to become part of TradFi.
Bitcoin could bottom in October before recovering to around $130,000 ahead of the 2028 halving, according to Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price peaked above $126,000 in early October 2025, meaning that the “market should bottom in October,” Klippsten told Cointelegraph.
He argued that Bitcoin has so far bottomed about 12 months after each previous bull market peak, while cautioning against extrapolating from only a few previous cycles.
