Coinbase has applied to the Central Bank of Brazil for authorization to operate as a crypto service provider under the country's VASP framework, ahead of the October 30 deadline. The company says it does not expect the review to require suspending its existing services, and it plans to expand into foreign exchange and payments, which need separate authorizations. Binance applied on October 23 but has restricted crypto lending, margin trading and other services and delisted 22 crypto assets to comply with the new rules. Under Brazil's transitional arrangements, existing providers that apply by the deadline can keep operating while their applications are reviewed.

- Coinbase Fined Again in Ireland, This Time $3.6M Over Fund Safeguarding
The Central Bank of Ireland fined Coinbase Ireland €3,252,618 (about $3.6 million) for breaching safeguarding and outsourcing rules between November 2020 and August 2025. Regulators found the firm relied too heavily on its U.S. parent for compliance, lacked local oversight expertise, and let its safeguarding account stay underfunded for long periods, and Coinbase admitted the breaches. The penalty reflects a 30% settlement discount from €4,646,597, but still needs confirmation by Ireland's High Court. It is the second Irish enforcement action against Coinbase's European business this year, following a €21.5 million fine on Coinbase Europe in May over anti-money-laundering failures.
- 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.
- Irish cenbank fines Coinbase arm $3.6M for oversight, safeguard failures
The Central Bank of Ireland fined Coinbase Ireland $3.6 million for failing to safeguard customer funds and provide adequate oversight between 2020 and 2025. Coinbase Ireland admitted the contraventions and agreed to the undisputed facts, and the regulator said it improperly relied on the US parent company to outsource certain services. The sanctions require approval from Ireland's High Court before taking effect. The regulator's enforcement director stressed that firms must have the right culture and expertise to protect customers. Coinbase Ireland launched in Ireland in 2018.
- Irish central bank fines Coinbase Ireland $3.6 million over fund safeguarding failures
Ireland's central bank fined Coinbase Ireland 3.25 million euros ($3.6 million) for alleged failures to safeguard customer funds and oversee outsourced services, saying the unit relied excessively on its U.S. parent and lacked adequate systems and controls. The regulator cited a 2023 episode in which Coinbase directed 30 customers to deposit funds into an alternate account at another U.S. bank when Silvergate neared collapse, holding them alongside funds of another Coinbase entity's customers, and coding errors left a safeguarding account underfunded by an average of 0.54% in 2023 and the first half of 2024. Coinbase said no customer lost money or was unable to access funds. The penalty follows a 21.4 million-euro fine on Coinbase Europe in 2025 for anti-money laundering failures.
- Kazakhstan's AIFC Regulator Turns to Apple and Google to Enforce Coinbase, HTX Injunctions
Kazakhstan's Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) says it will serve Apple and Google with injunctions against Coinbase, HTX and four other unlicensed crypto platforms, since the court has not directly ordered the app store operators to act. The AIFC Court orders, announced on Oct. 20, bar BingX, Bitcoin.com, HTX, BitMart, Coinbase and WEEX from offering digital asset services in the AIFC or to users there without authorization, including distributing apps for that purpose. Justice Sir Stephen Richards said AFSA should first engage with Google and Apple, and limited the injunctions to the AIFC because amended digital assets law gave the National Bank of Kazakhstan the broader licensing role. AFSA says nine platforms restricted their apps in Kazakhstan, leading it to drop those cases, and seven others plan to apply for a license.
- Kazakhstan court bars Coinbase, five others from unlicensed crypto services in Astana International Financial Centre
Kazakhstan's financial regulator AFSA secured court orders restricting Coinbase and five other exchanges, including BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global (HTX), BitMart and WEEX, from offering or marketing unlicensed digital asset services in the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC). The injunctions apply only to users within the AIFC, not nationwide, and bind Google and Apple as app-store operators, though the court declined to issue a separate injunction against them and said AFSA should first discuss necessary steps with the firms. LBank was removed from the case on Sept. 18 after addressing AFSA's concerns and blocking access in Kazakhstan. Other platforms failed to respond in time, so the court entered default judgment, and AFSA had begun warnings to more than 20 platforms in 2025.

- The Same $10,000 in AMD and Nvidia Could Produce Very Different Results by 2030
The article's price model projects that a $10,000 stake in NVIDIA could reach about $18,056 in its base case (an 80.56% total return), while the same amount in AMD could reach about $11,989 (19.89%), with the five-year target running to October 2031. Reference prices are $546.66 for AMD and $215.69 for NVIDIA; NVIDIA trades at about 16x forward earnings, versus about 43x for AMD after a 155.26% year-to-date rally (NVIDIA: 15.92%). NVIDIA's fiscal second-quarter revenue reached $96.22B, up 105.8%, and AMD's reached $11.54B, up 50.1%, while the article says AMD's bull case depends on its steeper growth curve. Risks cited include high volatility (betas of 2.454 for AMD and 2.216 for NVIDIA), China and export controls, margin pressure and execution risk. The article stresses that these projections are for research purposes and actual results could differ substantially.

- Caterpillar’s Earnings Plunge Hits These 3 Popular ETFs Hardest
Caterpillar shares fell 7.27% to $661.54 in the session after its third-quarter report, and CNBC named Caterpillar and Alphabet as the two earnings reports dragging the S&P 500 lower. Adjusted EPS of $7.20 beat the $7.04 consensus, but revenue of $20.68 billion, up 17.26% year over year, slightly missed the $20.69 billion expectation, and the EPS beat narrowed to 2.37% from 31.83% in Q2. Operating profit included $128 million of tariff recoveries versus $392 million in Q2, and management gave no numeric guidance, though Power Generation sales rose 30% on data-center turbines and engines. The article notes that three ETFs holding Caterpillar, XLI (8.51% weight), FIDU (5.40%) and VYM (1.50%), still rose in the session as the rest of their portfolios offset the decline.
- Microsoft's AI Bet Pays Off
Stifel's Brad Reback said Microsoft's Azure growth is beating expectations and could stay above 50% in the near term and well above 40% for the foreseeable future, supported by enterprise demand and OpenAI. He said the results increase confidence that Microsoft can sustain mid-to-upper teens revenue growth. Reback called the $25 billion bond offering, its first high-grade bonds in more than nine years, a move made from a position of strength, as Microsoft was guided to remain free cash flow positive and has about $10 billion of debt coming due. He said Oracle carries more risk because its cash flow is negative and it is concentrated on one customer, OpenAI, while Microsoft has a broader business including M365 Copilot.
