Independent venue cross-check
Kraken’s public ticker showed a last trade of $85,500.10 and a venue-specific 24-hour range of $80,394.40 to $85,836.70 when CapKet checked the data. That close agreement supports the scale of the aggregate quote without implying that every exchange offered the same executable price. Trading fees, liquidity and venue timing can produce differences.
What the move establishes
The observation establishes that the rolling comparison was strongly positive at the stated time. It does not by itself establish why the price moved. CapKet has not assigned the gain to flows, macroeconomic news, liquidations or a social-media narrative without time-matched primary evidence.
Why Bitcoin matters in this comparison
Bitcoin remained the largest cryptoasset in the cited dataset, with a market value above $1.7 trillion. Because it is widely used as a benchmark for the sector, readers can compare later movements in ether, solana and XRP against this timestamp. Market capitalisation is price multiplied by reported circulating supply; it is not cash available to exit the market.
What to watch next
Useful follow-ups include spot volume across several venues, the persistence of the advance after the rolling window changes, and derivatives funding or basis recorded at the same time. A later CapKet update will use a new permanent URL rather than overwrite this historical observation.
Method and previous record
CoinGecko supplied the aggregate price, percentage change, market value and reported turnover. Kraken supplied the exchange-specific last trade and range. The earlier 17 September Bitcoin update remains unchanged for comparison.
