• Proposal to withhold 5% of bank-held home purchase payments until buyers get red books before paying developers

  Justice Minister Hoàng Thanh Tùng presented to the National Assembly on October 22 a draft amended Law on Real Estate Business with 10 chapters and 61 articles. Under the draft, developers could not collect more than 95% of contract value until buyers receive land-use right and property ownership certificates, and the remaining 5% would sit in an account at a credit institution, going to the developer only after certification or once the buyer agrees to handle the procedures; buyers would keep any interest earned. The draft would also let provincial People's Committee chairs approve transfers of all or part of projects that the Prime Minister approved in principle. The Economic and Financial Committee asked that the law set principles for managing the 5% and handling risks, and clarify the “voluntary” element.

• Proposal to let off-plan home buyers earn interest on final 5% payment

  The government proposes moving the final 5% payment for future-formed homes into a guarantee account, with buyers entitled to any interest it earns. Under the draft amended Law on Real Estate Business submitted to the National Assembly on 22/10, the first instalment may be up to 30% of contract value, and sellers may not collect more than 95% until buyers receive their land-title certificate. The 5% is released to the developer only after buyers receive that certificate. The draft also allows homes other than apartments to be sold earlier once construction has begun and land and building papers are in place. The Committee for Economic and Financial Affairs asks for rules on managing the 5% and handling risks, clarification of the “voluntary” element, and a distinction between deposits and fundraising.

• National Assembly deputy: Developers should be allowed to receive property deposits earlier

  National Assembly deputy Bùi Xuân Hải proposes letting property developers collect deposits on future properties earlier, once basic legal procedures are completed, including investment policy approval, a 1/500 detailed planning approval and a construction permit, rather than waiting until construction begins. The current draft Law on Real Estate Business keeps the 5% deposit cap and requires that the project has started construction or holds construction documents, which he considers unreasonable. He suggests placing deposits in blocked bank accounts to protect buyers and tightly controlling cash flows among companies within the same ecosystem. The Banking Association and Vingroup have also proposed earlier deposit collection, while deputy Phạm Hùng Hưng calls for mandatory notarization of future property deposit contracts.

• Deputy proposes letting developers collect property deposits earlier

  Deputy Bùi Xuân Hải proposed letting developers collect the 5% deposit on future real estate earlier, once basic legal steps are complete, including investment policy approval, 1/500 detailed planning approval and a construction permit, rather than waiting until construction starts. He suggested holding the deposits in a blocked bank account to protect buyers and called for tight control of cash flows among affiliated companies. The Banking Association and Vingroup also proposed earlier deposit collection, while deputy Phạm Hùng Hưng called for mandatory notarization of these deposit contracts to prevent one unit being sold to several buyers or deposits being misappropriated.

• 'Firms That Have Not Fully Paid Land Fees Should Be Allowed to Transfer Stalled Projects'

  Nguyễn Thị Việt Nga, deputy head of the Hải Phòng delegation to the National Assembly, proposed letting businesses that have not fully paid land fees transfer unfinished projects, so frozen resources can return to the economy. Draft Article 30 of the amended Real Estate Business Law requires investors to complete land financial obligations before transferring all or part of a project. Nga agrees with the rule, which prevents debt write-offs through transfers, but says investors that lose or seriously weaken financial capacity need a solution, as stalled projects tie up land and credit. Her proposal allows the buyer to take over outstanding obligations, subject to the authority confirming the amount, the buyer proving financial capacity, and the balance being paid from the transfer price into the budget, with no debt write-off. Bùi Xuân Hải, rector of Hải Phòng University, backs a similar approach but asks for written commitments on deadlines for meeting obligations to the State.

• Government proposes adjusting land price tables once every three years

  The Government proposes amending the Land Law so that land price tables and the price adjustment coefficient (K), set by provincial People's Councils, are revised once every three years instead of annually. The draft removes specific land price rules and price advisory bodies, with the State setting prices under principles of honesty, objectivity, openness and transparency. Land price tables and K coefficients would be applied uniformly for budget land revenue, auction starting prices, compensation for land recovery, and related taxes and fees. The draft also allows recovery of abandoned land, such as agricultural land left unused for more than 24 months after an administrative penalty, or project land unused for over 60 months. The draft has 3 chapters and 112 articles, 148 fewer than the current law, and is scheduled for a National Assembly vote on 21 November.

• 3 reasons SpaceX could fall short of $1 trillion revenue goal

  Host Ejaaz Ahamadeen outlines three obstacles that could keep Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX) from reaching a $1 trillion revenue goal. First, capex of $35 billion to $40 billion raises funding questions, with Tesla's balance sheet cited at about $43 billion and rumors that Musk is seeking $30 billion to $50 billion before the Anthropic IPO. Second, moving from GB300 to Vera Rubin GPUs may prove technically harder, as the host doubts Jensen Huang's claim that the new chips take about 5 minutes to bring online and notes that next-gen GPUs have historically taken time to deploy. Third, revenue forecasts diverge sharply: JP Morgan projects $254 billion next year, while Musk's estimate is $500 billion to $1 trillion.

• SpaceX Just Crushed Wall Street's Q3 Targets -- but a Potential Tesla Merger Is Even Bigger News

  SpaceX reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.45 on sales of $14.58 billion, far above analyst averages of $0.13 and $12.72 billion. Revenue rose 161% year over year and net income swung to $4.4 billion from a $1.1 billion loss a year earlier; Starlink sales grew 69% to $5.25 billion, while the superintelligence segment rose about 830% to $7.56 billion. The company guided first-quarter 2027 sales to $33–37 billion, and Musk said he expects annual recurring revenue of $500 billion–$1 trillion by the end of next year. On the call, Musk said special committees had been formed to explore a merger with Tesla, that he could not take part due to conflicts, and that merging was a good idea, though shareholder approval equal to 50% of total shares would be a significant hurdle.

• Blackstone's Jon Gray says CoreWeave can 'find a way through' financing pressure

  Blackstone COO Jon Gray told CNBC that CoreWeave, despite concerns about its massive debt, will “find a way through” its financing challenges and that its underlying business is strong. CoreWeave has about $51.6 billion in total debt, including roughly $35 billion in notes, bonds and loans, and its shares fell 3.55% Thursday and 14% over the past week as investors questioned how it will fund its data centers. Gray said demand for computing power is strong while supply is constrained, and that if neoclouds get through this phase, compute pricing is up 50%. Blackstone's third-quarter revenue of $3.22 billion missed the $3.28 billion expected, while adjusted EPS of $1.32 beat the $1.26 consensus; Gray called it a challenging quarter due to high energy prices and rising Treasury yields. He expects a strong fourth quarter and 2027, and IPOs to resume once markets calm.

• Chip stocks break a bear trap after a $2.6 trillion rout — here are the levels bulls need to hold

  The PHLX Semiconductor Index (^SOX) is down about 3% after dipping to 11,000, a support level that has rescued chip stocks twice since September, so the bear-trap rebound only holds if that floor does. Since Oct. 6, all 60 stocks in Yahoo Finance's chip basket have fallen, erasing about $2.7 trillion in market value; Lam Research and Applied Materials are each down nearly 30%, AMD nearly 20%, and Nvidia 9%. Lam fell despite record revenue because it said supply limits would cap its outlook and China sales would be “meaningfully down” in December. The Nasdaq 100 is down about 6% over the same period. The article flags 10,450–10,550 as the zone to watch if 11,000 breaks, and 12,600–12,700 as the level bulls must reclaim, while semiconductor ETFs saw record flows over the past week.

• A New Mexico Judge Just Hit Meta With a $25 Billion Penalty

  On October 21, 2026, a New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay the state $25 billion over misleading Facebook users about privacy in the Cambridge Analytica case, far above the FTC's $5 billion fine in 2019. Jurors found 26 of 29 statements misleading, and counting each statement per user or resident who saw it produced more than 43 million violations, with state law allowing up to $5,000 each; all the money goes to New Mexico schools. The judge said the conduct went to the heart of Facebook's core business and found that senior leaders, including Zuckerberg and Sandberg, misrepresented its privacy practices. Meta is appealing, has paid nothing, and interest keeps accruing, while the penalty equals about 2.5 times its $9.86 billion third-quarter net income.
