Major treasury companies Strategy, Bitmine, and DeFi Development have announced the purchase of substantial amounts of 
Bitcoin, 
Ethereum, and 
Solana. This move comes amid a period of price declines for these cryptocurrencies, suggesting a strategic accumulation approach.
Despite the recent downturn, Ethereum maintains the highest DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) at $51.18 billion, according to DeFiLlama. Solana follows with a TVL of $6.05 billion, while Bitcoin's DeFi TVL stands at $4.45 billion. These figures indicate the continued dominance of Ethereum in the DeFi space.
In contrast to the purchasing activity, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have experienced significant outflows. Decrypt reports that Bitcoin ETFs have seen $386.3 million in net outflows through the first seven trading days of October, while Ethereum funds have posted nine straight days of losses.
The broader market context shows a relatively flat overall crypto market cap of $2.87 trillion. Bitcoin has seen a 0.93% increase in the past 24 hours but is down 2.81% over the past week. Ethereum and Solana have experienced slight declines over the same period. The Fear & Greed index currently stands at 57, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.
The purchases by major treasury companies could be seen as a vote of confidence in the long-term potential of these cryptocurrencies. However, the contrasting trend of ETF outflows suggests a more complex market dynamic. Investors will be watching for further institutional activity and its impact on crypto prices.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.59M (about $83,057.00), up 0.8% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 7.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
