BIDV SmartBanking has launched an interface customized for the iPhone Duo, the first foldable-screen iPhone, and it is now available on the App Store. According to BIDV, the design is tailored to the foldable display and its interaction style, rather than simply making the existing app compatible. The app still offers services such as money transfers, bill payments, QR scanning, savings, investments, cards and online loans, along with a 24/7 AI assistant and chatbot. In September 2025, Vietnam Records Organization recognized SmartBanking as the digital banking app supporting financial transactions on the most types of devices.

- Nvidia's role as AI financier faces first big test as neoclouds take market hit
Nvidia's role as an AI financier faces its first major stress test as credit markets tighten for key partners. As of its July filing, the company had $36 billion in off-balance-sheet AI cloud agreements, or backstops, for neoclouds, plus a guarantee of up to $105 billion for chips, land and power at a proposed 10-gigawatt OpenAI data center in Ohio. Most of these deals require payment only if project participants default. Shares of CoreWeave, Nebius and IREN, all cash-burning companies in Nvidia's portfolio, are down at least 30% this month, CoreWeave's credit default swap spread has soared past 11%, and Nvidia has just finished a third straight down week, off 7.6% in October. CEO Jensen Huang says neocloud demand is “off the charts,” while David Trainer of New Constructs warns of trouble if compute demand falls short of expectations.
- Better Buy: Solana vs. XRP
The article compares XRP and Solana, two cryptocurrencies running on high-throughput blockchains after a recent rebound. XRP, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of nearly $82 billion, is tied to Ripple's activity and its RLUSD stablecoin, and is said to natively scale to 1,500 TPS, though critics question its decentralization. Solana, the seventh-largest with a $61 billion market cap, is described as the fastest major blockchain, surpassing 100,000 TPS in a network stress test, and has over $16 billion in circulating stablecoin supply. The author does not consider either a poor investment, but gives Solana the edge for its greater network activity, higher TPS and stronger stablecoin position.
- SpaceX Shares Surge as Elon Musk Makes Huge Revenue Prediction. Is the Stock Still a Buy?
SpaceX (SPCX) shares rose after Elon Musk predicted annual recurring revenue (ARR) of between $500 billion and $1 trillion in 2027, though he acknowledged that meeting all his 2027 targets is not guaranteed. Q3 revenue surged 161% to $14.6 billion, beating the $12.7 billion LSEG consensus, while adjusted EBITDA more than quadrupled to $8.8 billion. The superintelligence (formerly AI) segment led growth, with revenue climbing from $813 million to $7.56 billion, and Starlink connectivity revenue rose 69% while its operating income roughly doubled to $2.4 billion. Growth plans rest on bringing an additional 10 gigawatts of compute online in 2027 and accelerating Starship launches, though the company still needs to fully recover and reuse Starship. The article also flags risks from heavy AI infrastructure capex and the possibility that AI economics weaken if compute supply and demand balance out.
- Russia Has Transferred Non-Nuclear Submarine Technology to Strategic Partner
A C4ADS report says Russia has transferred submarine technical documents and test materials to China since the 2010s, with the exchanges continuing after Russia launched its full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022. The cooperation reportedly covers noise reduction, non-nuclear propulsion and hull design. Commercial records show Rubin Central Design Bureau, a sanctioned subsidiary of state-owned USC, made 12 deliveries worth over $80 million to PLA and CSOI procurement bodies between August 2015 and April 2023. An expert says some documents, including cavitation tests, suggest Rubin was helping CSOI test the effectiveness of noise-reduction technology for Chinese submarines.
- Trump at South Florida rally revives idea of military intervention in Cuba after Iran
At a rally in Fort Myers, Florida on Friday, Trump said US warships returning from the Iran war could stop off Cuba, reviving an idea he had floated earlier this year. Secretary of State Marco Rubio then posted that “now is the time” for action on Cuba, urging change through a “discrete partnership with the CIA”. The threat gained weight after the administration announced criminal charges against former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, while recent US talks with Cuban officials left Washington unimpressed and led to more sanctions. Trump had earlier said he did not think the military would be needed because “Cuba is failing very badly”. The article also notes Cuba's economic and energy crisis since 2020, with blackouts, food shortages, inflation and mass migration affecting its 10 million residents.

The runoff on Sunday 25 October is a near tie in recent polls according to O Globo, while Polymarket gave Flávio Bolsonaro 79.7% to win.
