The Bank of England has launched a consultation supporting central counterparties (CCPs) in accepting tokenised forms of eligible collateral. Tokenisation could allow faster and more efficient mobilisation and management of collateral across jurisdictions, helping firms respond to margin calls and supporting innovation in central clearing. The Bank says the existing regulatory framework is not a barrier, provided tokenised collateral can still be valued, transferred and realised when needed, including in stressed conditions. A proposed Supervisory Statement would clarify how the Bank assesses applications involving tokenised collateral, and the consultation closes on 12 February 2027.

- Malaysia central bank launches DLT platform for tokenized bonds
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has launched SSDS+, a distributed ledger-based platform that supports the issuance and safekeeping of tokenized debt securities, including sukuk. The platform tracks ownership and transfers and connects to RENTAS+ to settle bond payments in central bank money. Although designed for wholesale issuance, SSDS+ is also ready for tokenized government bonds and corporate retail bonds, but the announcement did not identify any securities issued or disclose transaction volumes. The launch follows BNM's three-year asset tokenization roadmap unveiled in November 2025, and tests of ringgit stablecoins and tokenized bank deposits in February with major banks including Standard Chartered, CIMB, Maybank and Capital A.

- Interest rates unlikely to reach 4 . 75 % by next summer , say City economists
City economists argue financial markets are wrong to price in a rise of a full percentage point or more in Bank of England rates by next summer. Market-implied expectations point to the bank rate rising from 3.75% today to 4.75% by the end of July, possibly reaching 5% by December 2027. James Smith of ING and Sanjay Raja of Deutsche Bank both see that path as unlikely, with Raja estimating that only about 50bps of hikes is priced in once risk premia are removed. Deutsche Bank expects the rate at 4.25% by next February, while Oxford Economics forecasts 25bps rises in November and February. The BoE is widely expected to lift rates to 4% on 5 November, after UK inflation rose to 3.5% in September.

- Alphabet earnings miss reflects first real sign that AI is taking a bite out of search
Alphabet's search and other segment revenue rose 12% year over year to about $63 billion, falling short of estimates for a second straight quarter, even though Google said search query growth was its strongest in five years. The gap between usage and revenue is becoming harder to dismiss as people turn to AI bots and agents, including Google's own tools. Free cash flow was negative $9 billion for the quarter, three times the estimated deficit, and the stock fell about 10% in extended trading. Cloud revenue more than doubled to nearly $31 billion with backlog around $560 billion, while search revenue growth slowed from 19% in the first quarter to 17% in the second and 12% in the third. UBS and Mizuho analysts said the results revive fears that AI is cannibalizing Search and YouTube.

- Aiming for first transactions at Vietnam International Financial Centre in November 2026
On the afternoon of October 28, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Văn Thắng, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Vietnam International Financial Centre, met with 10 members of VIFC-HCMC in Ho Chi Minh City. He called for the centre to shift from building its foundations to real operations, from attracting members to developing the market, and from investment pledges to actual transactions, with the first transactions targeted for November 2026. Institutional bottlenecks should be resolved quickly, within authority and with risks controlled, without trading off financial system safety. The State Bank of Vietnam will handle requests on accounts, member banks, foreign exchange, capital transfers and payments, while the Ministry of Finance must report within 30 days on amendments to the related decrees. The long-term goal is an internationally competitive financial ecosystem developed in a unified way across Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang.
- Bitcoin long-term resistance in focus as analysis sees selling risk above $85K
Glassnode says the $84,000–$85,000 range acted as resistance, with 4.3% of BTC supply (864,520 BTC) last moving onchain at that price, largely linked to a single large holder moving funds among wallets in transactions on Nov. 22, 2025. The range has acted as both support and resistance over the past 11 months, and Bitcoin has recorded only five daily closes above it, never more than three in a row. Long-term holders own around 4 million coins that last moved onchain between $85,000 and $118,000, with more than half bought above the current price, and their SOPR of 0.99 indicates they are moving coins at an aggregate loss. Glassnode says that if price recovers toward $85K, many of these holders may sell to get their money back, while a run of daily closes above $85K would turn the band back into support.
