- Ethereum Led Nearly $1 Billion in Crypto Liquidations . Its Traders Never Cut Back Before the Drop .
Over the 24 hours ending October 15, 2026, about $972 million in crypto positions were liquidated, with Ethereum leading at roughly $283 million, ahead of Bitcoin's roughly $196 million. About 92% of liquidations, or around $891.2 million, hit long positions, affecting 182,574 traders. ETH dipped to about $2,325 before recovering to around $2,452, still nearly 50% below its $4,946 peak in August 2025. Open interest held steady at 6.23 million ETH even as prices fell 11%, suggesting leverage was not reduced before the October 14 inflation report. Spot Ether ETFs saw outflows in nearly every October session, leaving little fresh demand to absorb forced selling.
- 2 Cryptocurrencies to Buy and Hold Through 2030
The article argues that this year's crypto sell-off, driven by persistent inflation, Fed rate hikes and the failure of the CLARITY Act, could be a buying opportunity for investors who expect the market to recover before the decade ends. Bitcoin trades near $82,000, far below its record of about $126,000 last October, and three factors could push it higher: U.S. debt reaching $40 trillion, the halving due in 2028, and more institutional accumulation. Ether trades near $2,400, below its all-time high of about $4,950 last August, and the article highlights its more than a million developers and the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, which aims to raise the gas limit and improve scalability, though it faces competition from Solana and Cardano.
- Schwab Crypto Opens to All Retail Clients: Assets Bypass SIPC via Paxos Sub-Custody
Charles Schwab has completed the full retail rollout of Schwab Crypto, letting all eligible U.S. brokerage clients trade Bitcoin and Ether. The article stresses that these assets are held not by Schwab's broker-dealer but by Paxos Trust Company, NA under sub-custody, which places them outside SIPC and FDIC protection. The path from the April 2026 waitlist to the May 13 retail launch took less than six months, and crypto transfers are now live, with clients required to pre-register withdrawal addresses. Schwab also took an equity stake in Paxos in the second quarter of 2026. The fee section is cut off in the source text.

- XRP has failed to make holders rich like bitcoin and ether. Here’s why
XRP trades around $1.33, 62.5% below its early January 2018 peak of $3.55, while bitcoin, ether and several other major cryptocurrencies have surpassed their previous highs. Analysts point to a 63% rise in circulating supply, from 38.7 billion to 63.1 billion tokens, alongside weaker fund inflows and lower trading activity. XRP ETFs have drawn just $1.80 billion since debuting nearly a year ago. Nansen data shows XRP spot volume fell 53.5%, perpetual futures volume dropped 44%, and active addresses declined 10.7%. Ripple's focus on cross-border payments rather than DeFi, AI and memecoins, along with the SEC lawsuit that ran from December 2020 until both sides dropped their appeals in August 2025, has also weighed on demand.
- Ether ETF outflows continue, pass $1B in October so far
US spot Ether ETFs have seen net outflows of $1.08 billion since the start of October, the largest monthly outflow of 2026 so far, even after adding $26 million on Tuesday. The October withdrawals erased September's $832 million in net inflows, leaving year-to-date net inflows at about $485 million. Ether fell 9.7% in October, from $2,700 to $2,438 at publication, and is down nearly 18% year to date according to CoinGecko. Bitcoin ETFs took in $23 million on Tuesday but have recorded about $67 million in net outflows in October, while Bitcoin traded at $82,954 at publication.

- Prediction: SoFi Stock Gains at Least 50% by the End of 2030
SoFi Technologies shares have fallen more than 50% from last November's peak and recently hit a new 52-week low. The decline follows the loss of a technology platform customer, Chime, which cut that segment's first-quarter revenue by 27% year over year, along with a weak market and deteriorating credit conditions. The author argues the long-term picture is stronger: second-quarter revenue rose 40% to $1.2 billion, EBITDA grew 44%, and customers reached a record 15.8 million, up 35% from a year earlier. Morningstar expects per-share profit to rise from $0.62 this year to $1.71 in 2030; at 15 times that figure, the stock would be worth just above $25, nearly 80% above its current price. The article cautions that shares could fall before they rise.
- The 5 Most Important Numbers From SpaceX’s Earnings
SpaceX's third-quarter results beat analyst expectations, with revenue of $14.6 billion nearly doubling from the prior quarter and operating income reaching $2.8 billion versus a $273 million loss a year earlier. The AI segment, now called Super Intelligence, generated $7.6 billion, more than half of revenue, including about $600 million from Cursor. Starlink added 1.6 million consumer subscribers to reach 13.6 million, though revenue per customer fell to $69 a month from $83 as it expands into cheaper markets. Compute capacity surpassed 1.7 gigawatts, but capex hit $19.6 billion, $16.4 billion of it for AI, and 2026 capital spending has exceeded operating cash flow by about $35 billion. The stock trades at 93 times forward earnings, and Musk's earlier goal of closer to 10 GW than 5 GW by the end of 2027 could push capex higher.
- Tokenized stock trading takes off overseas as Goldman, other U.S. companies object
Tokenized stock trading is growing fast overseas, according to Bitwise's latest quarterly report, with volume on Robinhood Chain rising from $526 million in July to $11.31 billion in September. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Alphabet and other large U.S. companies have objected to having their shares traded as tokens on the OKXICE venue, bringing the total number of objectors to 16 as of Wednesday. The debate centers on whether token holders should receive the same economic and voting rights as shareholders, and the SEC's new U.S. pathway requires issuers to be able to object. ClearStreet analyst Owen Lau said some companies may eventually embrace tokenization for a broader investor base and 24/7 trading, while an Injective executive argued that until issuers see clear benefits, growth will keep happening abroad.
- Elisa taps NVIDIA and Nokia for its journey towards commercial AI-RAN in Finland

The deal is DEG's second investment in TPBank, and it follows TPBank's earlier raising of US$220 million in long-term loans from DFC and JICA.
- Ken Griffin: There Are “Almost Certainly Bubbles” in AI Right Now
Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin said on October 20, 2026, at the firm's Future of Global Markets Conference in New York that investors are 'almost certainly' in an AI bubble. He argued that radical economic change is generally tied to bubbles, and that the companies that survive become market leaders for decades. He also warned that corporate America has been uneven in extracting value from AI models, and said agentic tools cut some Citadel research from 6-8 weeks to 2-3 hours. NVIDIA ended at $216.47 and QQQ slid 0.10%, a muted market reaction.
