CoinDesk's Crypto for Advisors newsletter cites an EY-Parthenon 2026 Blockchain Payments Survey of 521 corporate and financial institution decision-makers. It found 18% of corporates have used stablecoins in production, double the 2025 share, while 15% report adopting tokenized deposits. Some 69% of financial institutions offer or plan to launch stablecoin services within two years, up from 30% in 2025. Cross-border business payments are the leading use case, and 45% of corporates and 53% of financial institutions favor using both stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Corporates strongly prefer blockchain payments integrated into existing banking interfaces (74%), and 63% would likely adopt them if offered by their current bank or payments provider.

- How corporate client small complaint are hurting banks
Payment analysts say small and mid-sized corporate clients are increasingly frustrated with banks, and minor gripes can build up until they sink relationships. A Cornerstone Advisors survey of 1,249 small and medium-size business owners found that 46% said their bank had proactively offered new products as their needs evolved, 44% said their bank helped manage cash flow variability, and 50% said their primary bank offers all the credit products they need. More than six in 10 businesses reported pain points with their bank in the past two years, and roughly six in 10 work with more than one bank, which makes switching easier. Fintechs are also pursuing the corporate market, and Capgemini's report found nearly three-quarters of corporates describe cross-border payments as slow, costly and unpredictable, while 71% prefer banks over fintechs for tokenized payments at equivalent cost and quality.
- SoFi Launches Tokenized Deposit Paying 4.4% Yield, Linking Bank Savings to Stablecoin
SoFi Technologies launched SoFi Earn, a tokenized bank deposit paying a variable 4.40% APY that can be swapped one-for-one into its SoFiUSD stablecoin. Each SOFIE token represents $1 deposited at SoFi Bank, and the company pitches it as a way to put idle digital dollars to work, citing Fed research that puts about $64 billion, or 21.2% of the stablecoin market, in rarely used wallets. The launch follows the OCC's finalized GENIUS Act rule that keeps the ban on issuers paying interest directly, since SOFIE's interest is paid on the bank deposit instead. SoFi calls it the first national bank-issued tokenized deposit for consumers, while JPMorgan's JPM Coin deposit token is limited to institutional clients. SOFIE is rolling out to SoFi Crypto members through November.
- Banking Groups Push Back on OCC Finalized GENIUS Rules on Stablecoin Yield
The American Bankers Association (ABA) says the OCC's finalized rules implementing the GENIUS Act undermine Congress's intent on stablecoin yield, despite several positive steps. By dropping a presumption that certain third-party arrangements violated the yield ban, the rules could let issuers offer economically equivalent yield while technically avoiding the prohibition, which the ABA warned could blur the line between stablecoins and bank deposits. The Blockchain Association backed the change, while the Bank Policy Institute sided with the ABA, warning of deposit flight. The OCC finalized its rules ahead of the Act's implementation in January 2027, and the Federal Reserve and Treasury are expected to issue their own GENIUS rules.
- American Bankers Association: OCC’s GENIUS rules ‘undermine’ US Congress
The American Bankers Association (ABA) said the OCC's finalized rules implementing the GENIUS Act include several positive steps but remain critical of provisions on stablecoin yield. The OCC dropped a proposed presumption that certain third-party arrangements violated the ban on yield payments, which the ABA says would let issuers offer economically equivalent yield while technically avoiding the prohibition. The ABA warned this could blur the line between payment stablecoins and bank deposits and threaten funds banks use for lending. The Blockchain Association welcomed the change, while the Bank Policy Institute sided with the ABA and warned of deposit flight. The OCC finalized its rules ahead of the Act's January 2027 implementation, and the Federal Reserve and Treasury are expected to issue their own GENIUS-related rules.
- OCC's final rule to start fresh in weighing stablecoin rewards against GENIUS Act ban
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued the first final rule under the GENIUS Act on Wednesday, setting out how stablecoin issuers operate, including their third-party relationships with exchanges, and the rule is scheduled to take effect on January 18. The act bans issuers from paying rewards made “solely” for holding stablecoins, but the OCC has not offered examples and gives no safe harbor for existing exchange reward programs, which must win its case-by-case approval. The agency said a reward made at least in part for other reasons could fall outside the ban. Banks view such rewards as a threat to customer deposits and lobbied for further changes in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which did not advance in a key Senate vote last month. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the rule a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation.
- Citi Thinks Aave Could Become the Go-To Lender for Tokenized Assets. Can AAVE Recover From a 77% Drop?
Citi Research has named Aave a potential leader in lending for tokenized assets, pointing to collateral mobility as a key benefit of tokenization. The AAVE token trades at $148, down 7.4% over the past week and 77% from its May 2021 peak of $662. Aave Horizon, launched on August 26, 2025 on Ethereum, lets institutions and qualified users borrow stablecoins against tokenized funds holding U.S. Treasury bills and CLOs, and Aave earns a share of borrower interest. However, the AAVE token is not used as the settlement asset or collateral in Horizon, and holders benefit mainly through a buyback program funded by protocol revenue. Meanwhile, banks such as Citi, JPMorgan Chase and the DTCC are building permissioned collateral networks of their own.

- 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.
- XRP Is 63% Below Its All-Time High and Ethereum 51%. Which Reclaims their ATH First?
XRP trades at $1.33, 63.5% below its all-time high of $3.65 set in July 2025, while Ethereum is at $2,403, 51.4% below its August 2025 peak of $4,946, and both fell over the past month. Reclaiming those highs would require gains of 174.4% for XRP and 105.9% for Ethereum, and the article concludes Ethereum has the edge, citing JPM Coin's integration onto its network on October 19 and a sizeable ETF asset base. XRP ETFs held $1.57 billion in net assets, but inflows slowed to $708,500 on October 21, while Ethereum's cumulative ETF net inflows fell to $12.83 billion amid outflows. Other news includes Germany's Sparkassen savings banks offering XRP trading and Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade entering the Hoodi test network on October 26.
- Tech stocks fall as Nvidia boss warns of AI funding slowdown
US stocks fell sharply on Thursday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that a “scarcity of capital” was holding back AI rollout, fuelling worries about the cost of sustaining the AI boom. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.5% and the S&P fell nearly 1%. Meta shares slid 5% after it raised the lower bound of its capex guidance from $130 billion to $135 billion and issued new non-voting stock, while Tesla fell 2% after cutting its proposed AI spending from $25 billion to $20 billion. Oil added to the sell-off, with Brent rising 2.5% to $111.60 per barrel, its first move above $110 since May, after Aramco evacuated staff from its Dhahran headquarters over a warning of Houthi attacks.
- Musk: People Are "Buying FSD With a Car Attached." There's Only One Problem.
Tesla said 75% of its new North American deliveries in the third quarter came with an FSD subscription, up from 55% in the second quarter, and active FSD subscriptions rose 67% to 1.74 million. Tesla has not disclosed how many subscribers pay, since the first month is free. When an RBC analyst asked whether the paid rate was closer to 30% to 40%, CFO Vaibhav Taneja did not give a clear answer. The article also notes that Tesla's overall gross margin fell from 25.6% in fiscal 2022 to 18% in fiscal 2025, while the stock trades at 185x forward earnings. It argues the paid attach rate is the key figure to watch, as paid FSD revenue remains small relative to Tesla's total sales.

- TeraFab's $16.8 billion bet to start producing 100K chips a month
Host Ejaaz Ahamadeen comments on Elon Musk's proposed $16.8 billion investment in his TeraFab semiconductor manufacturing project. He argues that chips are a key bottleneck for AI, humanoid robots and cars, and that vertical integration would reduce reliance on suppliers such as Nvidia. The first phase involves $16.8 billion to reach 100,000 wafers a month before 2030, with a peak of 1 million wafers a month within 10 years and more than 3,000 jobs. The host also stresses that the project carries many potential risks.
