Reuters included bitcoin and ether in its 22 October 2026 markets dispatch. The percentages are that snapshot. No regulator, exchange notice or register change is the subject of this note.
Key facts
- Reuters reported bitcoin at $82,771.05 and ether at $2,436.3, each down 2.2 percent.
- The figures are from the 22 October 2026 dispatch at 2:33 a.m. Eastern time.
- No regulatory notice or register change is reported in this briefing.
Reuters reported that bitcoin was down 2.2 percent at $82,771.05, and that ether was also down 2.2 percent at $2,436.3, in the story filed at 2:33 a.m. Eastern time on 22 October 2026. The same story was about Asian equities, oil and bonds. Placing the digital-asset lines in that story does not establish that equities caused the coin move, or that the coin move caused the equities. The times of the underlying trades are not in the paragraph.
A lower print is not a new token, a promotion, or a change in what a firm is allowed to offer. The 1 October note on this desk still says that a promotion is a prompt to check the register, and that an FCA crypto registration is not an investment-firm authorisation. Those sentences are unchanged. This briefing does not add a firm, a yield, or a listing.
Readers who need a tradable price should use a venue they already have and note the time. WiT Markets is not that venue. A later percentage will need its own source. This page will not rewrite the Reuters figure as if it were still the market.
Why it matters for investors and traders
Digital-asset prices can appear in the same story as equities without sharing a demonstrated cause. Treating the percentage as a product warning, or as a reason to use a promotion, would add a claim the dispatch does not make.
Markets discussed: Digital assets. These are the subjects of the briefing, not a list of markets that moved.
Uncertainties
- The dispatch does not name the venue or the exact trade time behind the two prices.
- A later print is not shown.
What to watch next
- Check the register before a promotion. This price note is not that check.
- If a regulator publishes a notice, it belongs in its own briefing with that notice as the source.
