- Deutsche Bank targets Asia crypto custody expansion in 2027 as German launch nears
Deutsche Bank plans to extend its crypto custody service to Asia in 2027, with a German launch expected within weeks but still subject to regulatory approval. The initial offering will support bitcoin, ether and stablecoins USDC, EURC and EURAU, with the bank managing clients' wallets and private keys so corporate and institutional clients can hold and transfer crypto. The bank also plans stablecoin conversion, tokenized deposits and digital bond issuance services, as part of a target of roughly 8% compound annual revenue growth in its corporate bank from 2025 to 2028. It received BaFin authorization under MiCA on October 12 and has worked with Bitpanda and Taurus, joining rivals such as Standard Chartered and BBVA in offering crypto custody.
- Deutsche Bank Is Weeks From Holding Bitcoin and Ethereum for Clients . Could Other Big Banks Follow ?
Deutsche Bank is weeks away from offering Bitcoin and Ether custody to institutional and corporate clients in Germany, with expansion into Asian financial centers set for 2027, according to Gerald Podobnik, co-head of its corporate bank. The service, announced October 16, 2026, will also cover the USD Coin and EURC stablecoins, but individual account holders cannot use it. The bank has not yet disclosed fees, committed client assets or revenue targets. Rivals such as BNY, which began in October 2022, and U.S. Bancorp, which resumed in September 2025, already offer Bitcoin custody. The article notes that custody adds access but not necessarily new buyers, and Bitcoin, at about $81,497 as of October 17, has fallen 23.4% over the past year while Ether fell 36.9%.
- Deutsche Bank to Launch Bitcoin and Ethereum Custody Service
Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest bank, plans to launch a cryptocurrency custody service within weeks, initially supporting Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to co-head of corporate banking Gerald Podobnik, the service will mainly serve institutional investors and corporate clients, starting in Germany before expanding into major Asian markets by 2027. The bank previously identified stablecoins such as USD Coin and Euro Coin as planned supported assets, and fiat-to-stablecoin conversion will follow after the initial rollout. Deutsche Bank is also advancing tokenized bank deposits and digital bond issuance, positioning blockchain as a complement to existing banking systems rather than a replacement. The moves support its corporate banking strategy, which targets an 8% compound annual revenue increase through 2028.
- The Civilizational Rug Pull: Why the Pillars of Our World Are Being Taken Down on Purpose – NaturalNews.com
The author, who says they have tracked patterns of control, deception and engineered collapse for nearly 25 years, argues that the world's foundations are being deliberately dismantled through a coordinated campaign aimed at reducing population and concentrating power. The piece cites the dollar being weakened, gold and silver rising, and digital currencies and stablecoins that could replace physical wealth and be frozen or seized. It also alleges that refineries are being sabotaged to create scarcity and that infertility chemicals are being introduced into the food supply. Bitcoin is said to have fallen roughly 50% from recent highs, and the author advises holding physical assets and home solar energy for resilience.
- Crypto Long & Short: Why gold and bitcoin belong in the same portfolio
Steve Neamtz, CEO of Yorkville America, argues that gold and bitcoin both have supply that governments cannot expand, making them allies against currency debasement. He notes U.S. federal debt has passed $39 trillion, and the dollar has lost roughly 40% of its purchasing power over two decades, while the U.S. spends about $1 trillion a year servicing debt. Central banks bought a record 289 metric tons of gold in Q2 2026 after 244 tons in Q1, while bitcoin is accessed through spot ETFs, with the two assets at different stages of the same course. The article acknowledges a 2025 study finding neither asset is a reliable hedge or safe haven during market drawdowns, but argues this does not address protection against currency depreciation. The author suggests the key question is how much of each asset belongs in a portfolio, not which one wins.
- What would superintelligence look and feel like?
Deutsche Bank Research says superintelligent AI could outperform human experts across nearly every cognitive task by 2030, reshaping business competition and the global economy. Analysts Adrian Cox and Azeem Azhar describe a scenario of recursive self-improvement, in which advanced models run directly on smartphones, tablets and laptops and sharply cut the cost of software development, research, legal work and engineering. AI costs have nearly halved every quarter over the past three years at comparable performance, a roughly thirteenfold annual decline. The analysts warn that physical infrastructure, regulation and organisational resistance could slow adoption, and that Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle are expected to spend nearly $800 billion on capex in 2026, potentially above $1 trillion a year through 2030.

- Alphabet's October wipeout hits $766 billion, its worst month ever
Alphabet (GOOGL) lost $477 billion in market value for the week through Friday's low, its worst week ever, after shares plunged $475 billion in one session on Thursday following third-quarter results. For October, the stock had shed about $766 billion at its low, second only to SpaceX's roughly $822 billion loss in July, and was down nearly 19% for the month, its steepest monthly drop since the 2004 IPO. Other megacaps also fell sharply, with Intel sliding as much as 30% after a weak outlook and Amazon losing about $70 billion for the week, while Eli Lilly, Tesla and SK Hynix added about $370 billion combined. UBS's chief investment office argued that retreating from markets does not protect portfolios and that investors should build resilient portfolios with exposure beyond tech. Alphabet closing at or below $280.50 on Friday would lock in its worst month since the IPO in percentage terms.
- Binance hack: Investigators in a 'cat and mouse game' to recover $6.3 billion in stolen funds
Crypto firms and law enforcement are racing to recover more than $6 billion in cryptocurrency stolen from Binance, which says its Secure Asset Fund for Users will cover losses. TRM Labs and Chainalysis have attributed the hack to the North Korea-linked group TraderTraitor, and stablecoin issuers such as Circle and Tether have frozen around $3 billion so far. The hackers reportedly sold USDT and borrowed ether against it, since ether is harder to freeze, and moved funds back and forth between wallets and to Tron addresses to obscure their trail. Investigators also see growing use of professional money laundering networks linked to China, which buy crypto off-chain and return it as stablecoins or fiat, making recovery harder the further funds travel. Chainalysis says it now has automated tools to track the funds, and TRM Labs says its tracing is improving.
- Tesla-SpaceX Merger Could Face The Biggest Regulatory Risk In China, BofA Warns
Bank of America said a potential Tesla–SpaceX merger could face its biggest regulatory challenge in China, given Tesla's reliance on its Shanghai plant and SpaceX's ties to the US defense industry. Under the all-stock deal BofA described, the Shanghai factory, which makes roughly half of Tesla's global output, would come under a major US defense contractor, raising possible national security concerns. Tesla says the plant has an installed annual capacity above 950,000 vehicles. BofA said it believes Tesla's special committee can likely negotiate a premium, and it kept its 'Buy' rating and $460 price target on Tesla. At the time of writing SPCX was down more than 5% and TSLA 1.8%, with TSLA down 9% in 2026 and SPCX near its $135 IPO price after a sharp sell-off this month.
- 2 mega-cap stocks with exciting potential and 1 we avoid
StockStory's article picks two megacap stocks with attractive long-term potential and flags one to be cautious about. Walmart (WMT), with a $962 billion market cap, is described as having revenue growth of 5.3% a year over the past three years, lagging other consumer retail companies, and a 24.9% gross margin that depends on higher volumes, along with weak operating margins. Its shares trade at $123.24, or 39.5x forward P/E. Microsoft (MSFT), with a $3.94 trillion market cap, is cited for top-tier gross margins, improving profit margins and strong free cash flow, and trades at $529.25 per share, or 25.6x forward P/E. The article also lists AMD (AMD) with a $924.7 billion market cap, with no further details about the stock in the text.
- META, AMZN, ORCL, GOOGL in focus: Big Tech bonds offer better opportunity than stocks, BofA says
BofA chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett says investment-grade bonds from mega-cap tech firms offer better value than their stocks. Borrowing costs have risen amid concern over heavy capital expenditures by hyperscalers such as Meta, Google, Amazon and Oracle to build generative AI infrastructure. Yields on investment-grade tech debt range from 6% to 8%, with Oracle above 8% and Meta and Amazon at 6.8% to 7.4%. Meta is raising $95 billion through stock offerings, which Hartnett says is negative for existing shareholders and suggests the era of large buybacks may be ending. Year to date, META is down 6%, GOOGL about 10%, AMZN up 3% and ORCL about 33%.
- Why bitcoin held up better after the record Binance hack
Binance suffered the biggest hack in crypto history, with about $6.3 billion affected, and security firm TRM Labs linked the incident to North Korea. Bitcoin dipped to $77,065 at 1:34 p.m. ET on Friday, down about 4% on the day, while data from Anchorage Digital showed bitcoin fell 8.3% on average in the first 24 hours after past exchange exploits. Sam Callahan of OranjeBTC and Spencer Hallarn of GSR said the breach was a security failure at a centralized exchange, not a failure of the bitcoin network, and that bitcoin has moved in step with other risk assets amid concerns over AI-related earnings. David Lawant of Anchorage Digital noted that only 6% of bitcoin is held in ETFs, suggesting many holders take a longer-term view.
