BTC, BNB Set New All-Time Highs, ZEC Explodes, and US Shutdown Drags On: Your Weekly Crypto Recap

It was another eventful week in the cryptocurrency markets, as two of the leaders managed to break into uncharted territory before staging a minor pullback.

But first, let’s rewind the clocks to the previous week, which marked the beginning of October, often referred to as Uptober in the digital asset community. BTC had already recovered some of the mid-September losses, but only doubled down and surged to $120,000 for the first time since August. On Friday alone, it went from $120,000 to $124,000 but failed to break its all-time high.
