- Gimmick or giveback ? Even some Trump supporters dont expect to get $5 , 000 checks after midterms
President Donald Trump is promoting $5,000 checks as a way to boost Republican turnout in the November 3 midterm elections, but some of his own supporters doubt the payments will arrive. Trump says the payouts would occur only if Republicans keep their majorities in the House and Senate, and acknowledges the cost would exceed $1 trillion. Earlier promises, such as $2,000 in tariff-revenue dividends and refunds from DOGE spending cuts, never materialized, and a September AP-NORC poll found about half of registered voters say Trump does not keep his promises. AdImpact data show Republicans are not running ads on the promise, while the White House says the payments would be funded by trade deals, foreign investment, government stakes in companies, and oil and mineral deals. Asked whether the administration had modeled the economic impact, White House Council of Economic Advisers chairman Christopher Phelan declined to answer.
- Gimmick or giveback ? Even some Trump supporters dont expect to get $5 , 000 checks after midterms
President Donald Trump says people will each receive $5,000 if Republicans keep their majorities in Congress after the midterm elections, a pledge aimed at boosting GOP turnout. Some of his supporters are doubtful, since earlier promises of $2,000 tariff dividends and refunds from spending cuts never materialized. Trump acknowledges the cost would exceed $1 trillion, and the White House says the payments could be funded by trade deals and foreign investment, though it is unclear whether officials have seriously weighed the effects on the deficit and inflation. Roughly half of registered voters in an AP-NORC poll say Trump does not keep his promises, and Republican candidates are largely not advertising the pledge.

President Donald Trump hopes $5,000 checks will boost Republican turnout in the November 3 midterm elections, but some of his supporters doubt the payments will ever arrive. Trump says the payouts would only happen if Republicans keep majorities in both the House and Senate, and he acknowledges the cost would exceed $1 trillion. The White House says the money would come from trade deals, foreign investment commitments, government stakes in companies and oil and mineral deals, but it is unclear whether it has modeled the effects on deficits and inflation. Critics note that earlier promises, such as $2,000 in tariff dividends, never materialized, and campaign spending data suggests Republicans are not advertising this pledge.

- Cardano holders are being asked to bet $5 million on copper hitting a new record
Toto Finance is asking Cardano's treasury for 22 million ADA, about $5 million, to buy and tokenize copper, with voting closing Nov. 15. About two-thirds of the budget would buy copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse for 18 to 24 months before sale, while the rest covers storage, insurance, audits and Toto's work. If the full budget is spent and ADA's dollar price stays unchanged, copper would need to rise about 49.4% for the treasury to recover its investment, and there is no guarantee the treasury gets its original ADA back. Toto could receive up to 3.36 million ADA, roughly 15% of the request, and would keep its commercial rights to its tokenized-copper business. The proposal would use just over half of Cardano's remaining withdrawal allowance, which would not be replenished under existing rules.
- Bitcoin Core changes security policy as AI makes bugs easier to find
Bitcoin Core is changing its security disclosure policy because large language models have made some flaws easy to rediscover, so long embargoes offer little protection. Under the new policy, vulnerabilities deemed easily discoverable will be fixed as soon as possible across all maintained major versions, with security advisories published alongside the updates. Other flaws will follow severity-based schedules: low-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the fix is released, while medium and high-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the last affected release reaches End of Life, typically a year after the fix. The change follows a volunteer Bitcoin Red Team report of nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects in August, though only about a fifth had been reproduced at that point.
- Asia FX steadies as oil surge weighs on risk appetite, yen holds gains
Asian currencies and the U.S. dollar were largely subdued on Friday as investors weighed rising energy costs and geopolitical tensions, while the yen held its gains after a safe-haven rally tied to concerns over global growth and tech valuations. The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 101.60 by 03:33 GMT, near a three-week low and on track for a second straight weekly loss. USD/JPY edged up 0.1% to 156.90 after a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, as the yen reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent crude near $114 a barrel, after a 4% jump on Thursday following attacks in Saudi Arabia, raises inflation risks for energy importers such as Japan, India and South Korea. The Indian rupee extended its losses, with USD/INR up 0.3% to 95.109, while the yuan hovered near four-year lows; the Fed is expected to hold rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, with ECB and BoJ decisions due on October 29 and 30.
