- Google to preview crypto custody security system as AI threats grow
Google will unveil Google Multi-Party Compute (MPC), a service that splits a private key into fragments distributed across separate systems to help financial institutions custody and transfer cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets. The product is in private preview, with several design partners and major financial institutions testing it, and Alphabet has begun using it to secure its own assets on Ethereum and Solana; commercial availability is planned for early 2027, with pricing undisclosed. Chainalysis reported that compromised private keys accounted for 43.8% of cryptocurrency stolen in 2024, while DeFiLlama data showed $16.69 billion in cumulative hack and exploit losses as of June, roughly 40% linked to private-key compromises. Google says the complete private key is never stored in one place, reducing the risk of asset takeover even if a single machine is compromised.
- Google Says AI Isn't Building Itself Yet—Even Though It Writes 75% of the Code
Google DeepMind's safety report on its Gemini 4 Argon model found no statistically significant acceleration in AI research, with its capability index rising a steady 0.1 points per month. Although most production code at the lab is more than 75% AI-written, about 88% of pull requests still need human steering or human-written code. Argon solved roughly half of the internal research engineering tasks it completed, well below the 90% score DeepMind treats as a red flag for full automation. DeepMind concluded the risk from AI-driven ML R&D is currently low, but acknowledged the report covers only its own lab and cannot rule out that an unrestricted Argon crosses its danger thresholds for cyberattacks and bioweapons information.
- GoDaddy, Infoblox, Google and Cloudflare Demonstrate Secure AI Agent Transactions Across Platforms
GoDaddy, Infoblox, Google and Cloudflare, working with Singapore's IMDA, unveiled the Chain of Trust, an open reference architecture that helps organizations discover, identify and authenticate AI agents throughout a transaction. McKinsey estimates AI agents could facilitate $3 trillion to $5 trillion in global consumer purchases by 2030, yet most platforms still verify agents through closed systems. The architecture uses open standards such as DNS, ANS, SPIFFE, OAuth, A2A, MCP, AP2 and UCP across layers from discovery to payment and audit. In a simulated flight purchase from Madrid to Singapore, agents on different clouds and platforms completed a transaction using signed mandates and identity checks.
- Dashlane Report Names Google, GitHub and HubSpot as Passkey Leaders, yet Adoption Gap Emerges
Dashlane's third annual Passkey Power 20 report finds passkeys account for 28% of measured Google logins, 23% at GitHub, 21% at HubSpot, 6% at Microsoft and 4% at OpenAI, so fewer than three in 10 logins at Google use a passkey. The share of Dashlane users storing at least one passkey rose from 40% to 57% over the past year, and monthly passkey authentications nearly doubled to 2.5 million. Passkey authentication grew sharply from Q1 to Q2 2026 at BetMGM (391%), Experian (383%), Gusto (354%), Meta (310%) and Ticketmaster (218%). Dashlane argues that services should make phishing-resistant authentication the default rather than an optional feature, since widespread use is still some way off.
- Google Pitches Banks on Splitting Crypto Keys Across Clouds With New Custody Service
Google Cloud unveiled Google Multi-Party Compute, a key-signing service that splits control of a crypto key across several parties, such as a bank's own hardware, Google Cloud and a rival cloud provider, so no single provider holds the full key. The service is in private preview, with unnamed banks testing it and Alphabet using it for its Ethereum and Solana holdings. Customers set the signing threshold, such as 2-of-3 or 5-of-7, and a policy engine checks transactions against rules like spending caps; the article notes this verdict is advisory and enough signers can override a denial. General availability is targeted for early 2027 with no pricing disclosed, and the product puts Google up against BitGo, Fordefi and Fireblocks.

- China's tech darlings are losing their shine. Here's what's behind the sell-off
China's technology stocks are losing momentum as investors question whether the AI boom can generate profits high enough to justify rich valuations. The STAR 50 Index, which tracks 50 of the largest and most liquid companies on Shanghai's STAR Market, has fallen more than 40% from its July peak. The sell-off began as profit-taking after a strong rally that accelerated when DeepSeek emerged in early 2025, but has widened into doubts about whether earnings can support current prices. Battery giant CATL, down 37% year to date, illustrates the problem: its third-quarter revenue rose roughly 59% but net profit only about 15%, as competition, product mix and changes to taxes and rebates squeezed profitability. Analysts say a sustained rebound would require stabilizing earnings, clearer returns on AI spending and stronger domestic demand.
- Russia says there is “no room” for European countries at three-way Ukraine talks
Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said a three-way Russia–Ukraine–US negotiation will take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, after 4 November, but no specific date has been set. He denied reports that talks could take place on 4 November, saying Moscow has not sent any such signals. Ushakov also said European countries will not be invited to the negotiating table and could only attend by buying tickets. US President Donald Trump said a meeting with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky would be arranged “very soon.” Separately, governor Dmitry Milyaev said a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack in the early hours of 28 October sent debris falling on Novomoskovsk, damaging an apartment block, private houses and infrastructure in a nearby industrial zone.
- Monster Beverage vs. On Holding: Which Is the Better Growth Stock?
The article compares Monster Beverage (MNST) and On Holding (ONON), two fast-growing consumer companies in different industries. Monster reported FY 2025 revenue of nearly $8.3 billion, up about 10.7%, and net income of close to $1.9 billion, a net margin of roughly 23%, but it relies heavily on Coca-Cola's distribution system and faces competition from Red Bull and PepsiCo. On Holding posted FY 2025 revenue of about $3.6 billion, up 30%, and net income of roughly $246 million, while heavy marketing and store expansion can weigh on margins. In the second quarter of 2026, Monster's sales rose 20.2% to $2.5 billion and net income increased 19.6% to $584.5 million. Over the same period, Monster's stock gained 17.8% versus 12.9% for the S&P 500, while On Holding's shares fell 30.5%; the author says he would prefer Monster as a long-term holding and expects that trend to continue into 2027.
- Limited credit ratings for Vietnamese bank bonds make risk pricing difficult for investors
VIS Rating's report says domestic credit ratings for Vietnamese bank bonds remain limited, even though banks are the largest issuers, accounting for about 46% of outstanding corporate bond value as of end-September 2026. At end-2025, only 2 of 28 commercial banks analysed had domestically rated bonds, about 7%, compared with roughly 60% in Thailand and above 75% in Malaysia, South Korea and China. Overall, only about 12% of outstanding corporate bond value is domestically rated, versus 96% in Thailand. Mandatory rating rules do not cover most bank bonds: public offerings of bank bonds are exempt, and privately placed bonds sold only to institutional investors are not mandatory either. VIS Rating says broader ratings would help investors compare risk across the largest bond issuers.
- Unexpectedly having bank account locked due to crypto transactions
Tran An, a 29-year-old in Ho Chi Minh City, had his bank account frozen at the end of last month after a USDT sale on Binance through peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, leaving his salary stuck. The bank said the funds traced back to an account suspected of money laundering and that the freeze followed a request from authorities; the account was unfrozen after five days once he provided transaction evidence. VnExpress reported that many people in crypto groups have also had accounts frozen after P2P trades since mid-October, and some have not yet been reopened. Experts say a seller may receive money linked to fraud without knowing it, and a freeze does not equal money laundering. Lawyer Lương Huy Hà said using a personal account for crypto transactions is not banned, but investors should keep bank statements and P2P order history and avoid receiving money from third-party accounts.
- IDJ Investment Vietnam fined for late information disclosure
The State Securities Inspectorate fined IDJ Investment Vietnam JSC (IDJ, HNX) 92.5 million VND for publishing its 2025 audited separate and consolidated financial statements and its 2025 annual report at least 15 days late. Its reviewed first-half 2026 consolidated net revenue fell 86.9% to about 87.9 billion VND, mainly because real estate revenue dropped from over 612 billion VND to 69.7 billion VND, linked to the Apec Mandala Wyndham Mui Ne project. After cost of sales, gross profit was negative by nearly 12.3 billion VND, and the company posted a net loss of nearly 37.7 billion VND for the six months, compared with a profit of nearly 18.1 billion VND a year earlier. Total assets stood at over 3,214.3 billion VND as of September 30, 2026, slightly lower than at the start of the year.
