$XBT Why Financial Markets Use XBT Instead of BTC for Bitcoin What is XBT? XBT is the ISO 4217 currency code for bitcoin, much like USD for the U.S. dollar or EUR for the euro. This formal designation reflects bitcoin’s status as a “supra-national” asset — one that is not tied to any particular country. XBT is used in certain financial contexts, especially in traditional finance systems that align with ISO standards, whereas BTC is the ticker symbol more commonly used within cryptocurrency exchanges and by the broader Bitcoin community. Why Two Symbols: XBT and BTC? The divergence between XBT and BTC stems from differences in international standards and the organic development of Bitcoin’s early community. When bitcoin first emerged, the BTC ticker naturally took hold within the community due to its intuitive connection to the word “bitcoin.” This ticker was popularized on forums like Bitcointalk.org and has since become the most widely recognized shorthand for bitcoin. However, this informal standard wasn’t based on any international guidelines. Meanwhile, the ISO 4217 standard, which dictates international currency codes, follows a different logic. Under this system, assets that are not tied to any specific country—such as gold (XAU) and silver (XAG)—are given a code that begins with “X.” Because bitcoin is borderless and decentralized, it also fits the criteria for an X-based ticker, hence XBT. Why XBT and Not BTN or XBC? When bitcoin became relevant enough to need formal recognition in financial markets, the BTC symbol had already become ingrained in the crypto community. However, ISO 4217 had to assign a compliant ticker, and BTC did not meet its naming conventions. The “X” prefix was assigned to indicate bitcoin’s supranational status, and “BT” was used to represent bitcoin. Other possible tickers — such as BTN (the Bhutanese ngultrum) or XBC (the European Unit of Account 9 bond market unit) — were already taken, leaving XBT as the most suitable, available, option for bitcoin under ISO standards. XBT in Financial Markets While BTC is the dominant ticker for bitcoin on most cryptocurrency exchanges and in the broader Bitcoin community, XBT is generally used in traditional financial systems and for certain bitcoin derivatives like futures and options. For example, platforms like Kraken still use XBT for futures contracts, OTC trading, and API functionality, even though they list bitcoin as BTC for spot trading. Similarly, major financial sites such as Yahoo Finance may use BTC for spot prices but refer to XBT when dealing with derivatives. In Summary: What’s the Difference Between BTC and XBT? Despite the different tickers, BTC and XBT represent the same asset — bitcoin. Both tickers track the price of bitcoin, but their usage varies based on the context: BTC is more commonly used on cryptocurrency exchanges and among Bitcoin’s user base. XBT is used in formal financial environments, especially for bitcoin futures, derivatives, and in some trading pairs on traditional financial platforms. The distinction is largely one of context. BTC is the legacy ticker that emerged from Bitcoin’s early history, reflecting the decentralized, grassroots nature of its community. XBT, on the other hand, reflects bitcoin’s integration into broader financial markets, where standardization is key. 💎 CA: HpDkQqezQD6uMZnVTZvCdV7pnxeUGc37xaSH3jeJeray 🔗 Links: 🌐 Website: https://stackxbt.com 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/xbt 💬 Telegram: https://t.me/StackingXBT 🎮 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/xbt

Date: 23rd September 2025. Wall Street Hits Third Record in a Row as Nvidia’s $100 Billion OpenAI Deal Sparks Big Tech Rally. US stocks extended their winning streak on Monday, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all closing at fresh records, driven by a surge in megacap technology shares led by Nvidia. Major Indexes Keep Breaking Records The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) added 0.2% to finish at 46,381.54. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose nearly 0.5%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) climbed 0.7% for its third consecutive all-time high. Nvidia Leads Big Tech Gains With $100 Billion OpenAI Investment AI-chip leader Nvidia (NVDA) jumped almost 4% to a record close of $183.61 after announcing plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. The landmark deal includes a commitment to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia chips to power OpenAI’s AI infrastructure beginning in 2026. Other tech giants also gained. Apple (AAPL) rose more than 4% to its highest level since December 2024 after Wedbush boosted its price target to $310. Tesla (TSLA) extended its bull run, rallying near a 2025 high on expectations for self-driving products and CEO Elon Musk’s $1 billion stock purchase last week. Oracle (ORCL) climbed 6% after being officially named as a lead investor in the new US-based TikTok venture. ASML, Constellation and Vistra Catch Analyst Upgrades ASML Holding (ASML), the critical supplier of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) chipmaking machines, jumped almost 3% after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to Overweight with a €950 ($1,120) target, citing strengthening AI-driven demand. Nuclear-energy names Constellation Energy (CEG) and Vistra (VST) also rallied after a bullish Scotiabank call amid soaring data-centre power needs. Gold Hits Record, Crypto Slides on Liquidations Safe-haven gold (GC=F) surged to a new all-time high above $3,750 per ounce as traders priced in two more Federal Reserve rate cuts before year-end 2025. In contrast, bitcoin (BTC-USD) and other cryptocurrencies tumbled, with more than $1.5 billion in bullish positions liquidated overnight. Ether (ETH-USD) fell 6%, Solana (SOL-USD) lost more than 7%, and Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) dropped 10%. What’s Next: PCE Data and Fed Speakers in Focus Markets now turn to Friday’s release of the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index. A softer-than-expected reading could strengthen expectations of an October rate cut. Traders will also parse remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and newly installed governor Stephen Miran, who on Monday said interest rates should be about two percentage points lower. At the same time, investors are watching for fallout from President Trump’s new immigration visa fee plan, which has already prompted urgent internal memos at Microsoft (MSFT) and Goldman Sachs (GS).
