- China Adds 25.8 Tonnes to Gold Holdings in October — this brief
China increased its official gold reserves in October, according to CaptainAltcoin. Data released on November 7 showed holdings rising from 77.47 million ounces in September to 78.30 million ounces in October, equivalent to an increase of 25.8 tonnes.
The reserve expansion came as gold rebounded from an October crash and delivered its strongest weekly performance in months. CaptainAltcoin characterized the purchases as a significant addition of demand supporting the market, although the report did not provide a broader comparison with other countries’ reserve activity.
This is the only outlet supplied with coverage of the development, so the reserve figures and market characterization are not independently corroborated within the source set. The reported month-on-month ounce change is consistent with the headline’s 25.8-tonne increase, but no additional official commentary or purchase schedule was included.
The broader crypto market remains subdued. Total market capitalization stands at $2.61T with an overall flat reading, while 
Bitcoin is down 0.10% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index is at 28, placing sentiment in the Fear range. Among the listed live assets, 
JUST trades at $0.143771, up 0.28% over 24 hours and 5.87% over seven days. The next signals to watch are China’s subsequent reserve updates and whether gold’s weekly recovery continues, alongside changes in cautious crypto sentiment.

The chart plots JST'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 TLT'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 JST ≈ ₦198.57 (about $0.144), up 0.9% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
