Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Danone have agreed to revise labels on plastic bottles sold in Europe, according to European Interest on 25 October. The claim "bottle made from 100% recycled plastic" will become "100% recyclable, excluding cap and label", and "recycle me again" will change to "recycle me". EU statistics show only 55% of PET bottles are recycled into various products, and just 30% are recycled into new bottles. Coca-Cola began implementing the commitment in 2025, while Nestlé and Danone are doing so this year, following a complaint by BEUC published in 2023 alleging greenwashing. National consumer protection authorities will monitor compliance and may enforce measures if companies fail to follow the commitments.

- Coinbase Ireland to Pay $3 . 6M Fine As Part of Central Bank Settlement
The Central Bank of Ireland has taken enforcement action against Coinbase Ireland for failing to safeguard customer funds and provide adequate oversight between 2020 and 2025. Coinbase Ireland admitted the contraventions, agreed to the undisputed facts and accepted fines totaling $3.6 million. The regulator said the company improperly relied on its US parent to outsource certain services. The sanctions take effect only after approval from Ireland's High Court. Coinbase launched in Ireland in 2018, received an e-money license in 2019 and registered as a virtual asset service provider in 2022.
- EU probes Booking . com over handling of fraud - related complaints and cases
The European Commission has opened a formal investigation into Booking.com under the Digital Services Act, saying the platform is not doing enough to stop fraud, scams and fake listings as reported fraud rises sharply. Brussels is also examining whether paid boosted listings are clearly labelled as advertising. Officials called the company's anti-fraud performance “absolutely substandard” and suspect it has not properly assessed risks from fraudulent and unlicensed offers. Dutch consumer data recorded 1,072 fraud notifications linked to Booking.com in the first part of 2026, with estimated losses of about €82,000 and a tenfold increase over 2025. Because Booking.com is headquartered in the Netherlands, the Commission is working with Dutch regulators and will move quickly with an in-depth priority investigation.

- Cardano Foundation urges EU against expanding MiCA rules to DeFi and staking
The Cardano Foundation has urged the EU not to create standalone rules for DeFi and staking, arguing that existing financial laws should apply based on the functions and risks of an activity rather than the technology used. In its 19-page submission to the European Commission dated Sept. 30, it distinguishes direct participation in decentralized networks from intermediary services, particularly custody or control of users' assets. It says Cardano users can delegate ADA to help secure the network without surrendering custody or locking tokens. The foundation also warns that overlapping MiCA and existing financial rules could create uncertainty for crypto businesses. In an Oct. 20 letter, it joined five other blockchain organizations urging the SEC to recognize digital commodities as non-securities.

- Frank Elderson: Interview with Die Presse
In an interview with Die Presse, ECB Executive Board member and Supervisory Board Vice-Chair Frank Elderson argues that the 2008 financial crisis cost far more than bank regulation, and that post-crisis reforms made European banks better capitalised, more liquid and more profitable on average. He says simplification is not deregulation and notes the ECB has already cut reporting obligations and sped up processes. He identifies fragmentation as Europe's biggest competitiveness obstacle, since cross-border banking remains limited, and calls for completing the Single Market, the savings and investments union and the banking union, including a European deposit insurance scheme. He argues simplification and integration must advance together in the European Commission's banking reform package, and that Basel standards keep competition based on efficiency rather than the weakest rules.

- Ukraine's Strike on Russia Angers Trump: Crisis Emerges, Threatening Vital US Aid?
Relations between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated, as Trump has grown frustrated with Kyiv's repeated strikes on Russia's diesel infrastructure while diesel prices have reached record highs. On September 13, Trump began publicly urging Ukraine to halt these strikes, but Kyiv refused, saying long-range drone attacks are its only viable response to Russia's five-year campaign. On October 9, Trump announced an agreement to buy diesel from Moscow and issued a temporary general license allowing Russian diesel to access global markets. On October 22, Trump said he had asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to restore Ukraine's access to Starlink, after an interruption had hampered Kyiv's military drone operations. Peace efforts have yet to produce concrete results, and negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US are expected to meet in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November.
- Jensen Huang Says Nvidia's Next-Gen Vera Rubin Chips Will Generate $40 Billion in Revenue per Gigawatt, Up From $25 Billion for Grace Blackwell. What That Means for NVDA's Growth Runway.
Nvidia says its next-generation Vera Rubin architecture could generate about $40 billion in revenue per gigawatt of computing capacity, 60% more than the roughly $25 billion from Grace Blackwell. CEO Jensen Huang said the platform, which combines GPUs, CPUs, NVLink connections, networking and software, lets customers do more computing without a matching increase in electricity use, a key constraint for AI data centers. Vera Rubin has entered production shipments, with purchase orders from major hyperscalers, AI cloud providers and equipment makers. Huang forecasts AI infrastructure spending of $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030 and expects Nvidia to sell twice as many chips in 2027 as in 2026. In the fiscal second quarter ended July 26, Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue, up 106%, including $89 billion from data centers; the $40 billion figure is a potential opportunity rather than guaranteed orders.
- Anthropic's $750 Billion Compute Bill Could Delay Its Path to Profitability
According to a draft S-1 filing reported by The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic could spend up to $750 billion on compute over roughly the next decade, including $450 billion in noncancelable cloud contracts. The bulk of that goes to Alphabet ($160 billion for processors leased through Broadcom and $111 billion for Google Cloud), Amazon Web Services ($110 billion), Nvidia ($86 billion) and Microsoft ($31 billion). Revenue reached $16.3 billion in the first half of this year, up from $1.1 billion in the same period of 2025, but losses hit $80 billion, of which $72 billion came from an accounting adjustment tied to convertible notes. The article says GAAP profitability looks distant, even though the company was slightly profitable on an adjusted basis in the third quarter, and that losing a major customer could pressure margins, since two customers account for 20% of revenue.
- Nearly 85% of Value “Evaporated” After 26 Consecutive Floor-Price Sessions: What Is Happening at KOS?
KOS fell to the floor price of 4,700 VND per share in the October 26 morning session, likely its 26th consecutive floor-price session since September 21, with the stock down nearly 85%. Outstanding sell orders reached about 91 million shares, 168 times the matched volume, cutting market capitalization from over VND 6 trillion to just over VND 1 trillion. The company attributed the decline to handling of collateral assets and margin loan adjustments by several brokerages, while saying its core operations showed no unusual changes. Selling pressure also came from related shareholders: Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường's stake fell from 35.4% to 33.09% after forced margin sales, and shares held by him, Vice Chair Nguyễn Thị Hằng and related entities serve as collateral for loans at three banks with about VND 260 billion outstanding.
