> BTC was down 0.40% over the prior hour.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $79,185 on Binance’s spot market at 6:25 p.m. ET Oct. 29 (22:25 UTC), crossing above $79,000 and placing the largest crypto asset by market value above that threshold.

The snapshot was $505 above the $78,680 quote from 15 minutes earlier, a gain of about 0.64% over that interval. Across the full hour, however, Bitcoin was down 0.40%. The readings cover different time windows: the latest 15-minute comparison was positive, while the one-hour change remained negative.

Both comparisons use the Binance spot price, with the current figure measured at 6:25 p.m. ET and the earlier quote marking the 15-minute reference point. The reported price is a single-exchange spot observation, not an average across trading venues.

Bitcoin is the largest crypto asset by market value, and this reading placed it above $79,000 at that moment.
