  2. China Adds 25.8 Tonnes to Gold Holdings in October — this brief

CaptainAltcoin reported that official data released on November 7 showed China’s gold holdings rising from 77.47 million ounces in September to 78.30 million ounces in October. The increase amounts to 25.8 tonnes and represents the latest expansion of the country’s official gold reserves. The development came as gold rebounded following its October crash. CaptainAltcoin described the recovery as the metal’s strongest week in months, positioning China’s reserve buying as an additional source of support for a market that had recently experienced a sharp downturn. This is a single-source report, with no second outlet supplied to independently confirm the figures or the market characterization. The reported 25.8-tonne increase is therefore presented as an official-data figure cited by CaptainAlticon rather than as a finding corroborated across multiple publishers. The wider data backdrop is comparatively flat and cautious across crypto markets. Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.6 trillion, Bitcoin is down 0.45% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index reads 28, indicating fear. JUST trades at $0.144258, up 0.75% over 24 hours and 5.83% over seven days, with a $1.16 billion market capitalization. The next relevant signal would be China’s subsequent reserve disclosure, while the near-term market question is whether gold’s rebound holds and whether official buying persists.
