Economics Minister Viktors Valainis says rules for tokenizing real-world assets could arrive in the first half of 2027, with commercial property a possible starting point and government bonds on the priority list. A legal assessment due October 1 is still ongoing, and the work is expected to stay on the agenda of the next government, as Valainis's party won no seats in this month's election and Latvia forms a new administration. He stresses that anti-money-laundering risks must be understood and managed before new rules are introduced, and says about 40 companies are seeking licenses under the EU's MiCA framework. He also reiterates personal support for a small national bitcoin reserve, though no approved proposal or purchase timetable has been identified.

- U.S. Clarity Act failure gives Asia and Middle East a competitive edge, says Apex Group CEO
Apex Group CEO Peter Hughes said the U.S. risks losing digital asset business to faster-moving jurisdictions in Asia, the Middle East and Bermuda after the Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act, which fell short of the 60 votes needed. He described Europe's MiCA rules as slow and restrictive and said Saudi Arabia is emerging as a tokenization hub. Hughes argued that tokenized money market funds and regulated, yield-bearing stablecoins could accelerate institutional adoption, citing 5% returns from a tokenized money market fund versus 3% from a bank savings account, and noted these funds can be used as collateral. Apex Group, which services more than $3.5 trillion in assets across 50 jurisdictions, recently partnered with droppRWA and Tokeny on regulated real-world asset products starting in Saudi Arabia.
- Switzerland approves first spot Bitcoin ETF for retail investors
Switzerland's financial regulator FINMA has approved the first Swiss-law exchange-traded fund that lets retail investors hold Bitcoin directly. BIT Asset Management said its Bitcoin Fund ETF (BBIT) is expected to start trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange in November, with public offering limited to Switzerland. Unlike many European Bitcoin products, which are debt instruments carrying issuer risk, the fund is a Swiss collective investment scheme whose assets are kept separate from the management company. FINMA said this is the first approval of a fund investing only in Bitcoin, citing its trading history and higher trading volume compared with other cryptocurrencies, while stressing that Bitcoin remains highly volatile even when accessed through an approved ETF.
- Circle Internet Jumps 6% as OCC Finalizes GENIUS Act Stablecoin Rules; Strategy Surges 8%, Coinbase Climbs 5%
Circle Internet rose 6% to $90.65 after the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) finalized its GENIUS Act rules for stablecoin issuers, which take effect next January. Strategy climbed 8% to $154.41 and Coinbase rose 5% to $178.86, while the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF gained 3%. Circle's Q2 2026 revenue rose 6.6% to $701.3 million and average USDC in circulation climbed 25% to $76.5 billion, though its reserve return rate slipped to 3.5%. Coinbase remains down 21% year to date, while Circle is up 14%.
- Swiss Regulator Approves First Retail Fund That Holds Bitcoin Directly
Switzerland's financial regulator FINMA announced on Tuesday, Oct. 20, that it approved the country's first retail exchange-traded fund investing directly in Bitcoin, classified as an alternative investment fund. FINMA waived the usual risk diversification rules, citing Bitcoin's long trading history and high trading volume compared with other cryptocurrencies. The regulator did not name the fund or its issuer and gave no launch date, though other providers have submitted or announced applications for Bitcoin ETFs. Under FINMA guidance, a Swiss custodian bank generally must hold the fund's Bitcoin, and sales must follow Swiss conduct rules, including warnings about volatility and the risk of losing money. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs were down about $615 million for October through Friday, while BlackRock's IBIT was the only fund with net inflows on Monday, taking in $665.2 million.
- Crypto vault deposits top $10 billion as lending risks draw regulatory scrutiny
Deposits into crypto lending vaults have risen from $4 billion at the start of last year to more than $10 billion, according to the Financial Times. Each vault is run by a 'curator' who selects lending strategies through smart contracts on DeFi platforms, sets risk limits and collects fees, with typical returns of 3% to 10% and riskier strategies reaching 20% or more. Risks include illiquid or hard-to-sell collateral, automatic liquidations, hacks and coding errors, while investors may focus on headline yields. Fintechs, digital asset treasury firms and hedge funds are among the main depositors, and Bitcoin lender Two Prime launched a vault on Pareto targeting 1.5% to 2% yields, with a minimum deposit of 5 WBTC and about $10 million of its own capital absorbing initial losses. U.S. and European regulators are examining whether existing rules should apply, and the SEC has questioned vaults that hold securities.
- MSCI approves rules that could eject Strategy, Metaplanet from equity indexes
MSCI has finalized rules that will exclude companies that mainly hold investments rather than running a real business from its global investable market indexes, effective after the close on Nov. 30, with affected firms named on Nov. 11. JPMorgan analysts estimate Strategy's exclusion could trigger about $2.8 billion in outflows from its MSTR stock, though forced selling would hit the shares rather than necessarily its bitcoin holdings. Strategy holds 848,250 BTC worth about $69.67 billion, yet its shares closed at $151.29 on Thursday, down roughly 72% from their $543 record in November 2024. Metaplanet closed at 277 yen ($1.75) on Friday, after peaking at 1,930 yen in June 2025. The article warns that weaker demand for the shares could make it harder for these companies to raise funds to buy more bitcoin.

- Audi defends plans for a $4 billion Georgia plant amid VW restructuring, tariffs
Audi CEO Gernot Dollner defended the carmaker's plan for a $4 billion plant in Georgia, its first in the U.S., which President Donald Trump announced at a Georgia rally on Saturday. Dollner said the move aims to grow sales and reduce exposure to U.S. tariffs, and that it does not take work away from Germany, which remains the backbone of the brand. The site followed more than 70 locations evaluated over many months and is expected to begin production of the Q7, Q8 and Q9 in the early 2030s, with capacity of up to 200,000 vehicles a year, roughly half to be exported. The announcement comes as parent Volkswagen plans to cut 50,000 jobs and close four German plants, including an Audi facility, between 2031 and 2034. U.S. tariffs cost Audi 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion) last year, and tariffs on German vehicles are now 15%, down from 25%.
- Wells Fargo, Cisco, Intuit Among 6 More Companies Objecting to Tokenized Stocks
Six more companies, including Wells Fargo, Cisco, Marvell, Arm, Moderna and Intuit, have objected to trading their shares on OKXICE TSV, according to an Oct. 23 notice, bringing the total to 22, up from 16 on Oct. 19 and nine on Oct. 15. The notices do not explain the companies' reasons or the effect of an objection. The venue, a 50-50 joint venture of Intercontinental Exchange and OKX's U.S. holding company, plans to let approved users trade tokenized U.S. stocks 24/7, paired with stablecoins such as USDC, under the SEC's innovation exemption. The latest notice also flags risks, including no circuit breakers beyond trading halts, no policies on maximal extractable value, unsettled questions for broker-dealers on trade reporting and best execution, and smart contracts that can be upgraded without advance notice. Nasdaq has said it will opt its shares out of the exemption.
- Does enough capital exist to finance everyone's ambitious AI spending plans?
Meta said recent capital raises by peers such as Alphabet and SpaceX, plus expected fundraising by Anthropic and OpenAI, have created an 'increasingly challenging' fundraising environment, raising doubts over whether enough capital exists for AI spending. Meta's revenue rose 26% to $64.6 billion, though free cash flow was negative $2.1 billion, and it raised the low end of its 2026 capex forecast to $135 billion to $145 billion. Broadcom's Hock Tan and BlackRock's Larry Fink voiced similar concerns as AI-linked stocks led a Nasdaq selloff of 2.6%, with Nvidia down 4.4% and CoreWeave down 10.1%. Yardeni Research said money moved to other parts of the market, as the equal-weighted S&P 500 rose 0.7% while the cap-weighted version fell 1.2%, and Treasury yields dropped. Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle are projected to spend almost $780 billion in 2026 and more than $1 trillion a year from 2027 through 2030.
- The Hidden $496 Billion Catalyst Waiting to Ignite Amazon Stock on Oct. 29
Amazon reports third-quarter results after the bell on Thursday, Oct. 29, and the article highlights its $496 billion AWS backlog as the key item to watch for conversion into revenue. Last quarter, Amazon's revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion, while AWS grew 37% to $42.23 billion, its fastest pace in 18 quarters, and GAAP EPS of $5.75 included a $53.4 billion pre-tax gain on Anthropic. Management raised its 2026 cash capex forecast to roughly $220 billion from about $200 billion, citing higher memory costs, and guided third-quarter net sales to $197.0 billion to $202.0 billion and operating income to $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion. The author also focuses on AWS margins, which expanded 650 basis points year over year, and on trailing free cash flow of negative $7.6 billion, while CEO Andy Jassy said capacity remains the constraint on meeting 2026 demand. Shares were at $248, up 7.44% year to date.
- Up 35%, How Long Can Coca-Cola Continue Crushing the S&P 500?
Coca-Cola has returned 35% year to date, versus 14% for the S&P 500, its best year since 1996, but the article argues PepsiCo, with a total return of around -3% so far in 2026, has become more attractive on valuation and income. Coca-Cola trades at 29 times earnings compared with PepsiCo's 17, while PepsiCo's dividend yield of 4.2% is higher than Coca-Cola's 2.2%. PepsiCo's revenue growth of 6% in its latest quarter was close to Coca-Cola's 7%, after it cut prices on some items and added healthier ingredients. Both companies hold Dividend King status, with 64 and 54 years of dividend increases respectively, and analysts forecast 4% revenue growth for Coca-Cola in 2026. The author suggests Coca-Cola could struggle to attract additional buyer interest, though its growth is likely enough to keep income-oriented shareholders.
- Sundar Pichai Reported Alphabet's Cloud Revenue Grew 82% Last Quarter While the Gemini App Reached 950 Million Monthly Users. Is Google Cloud Becoming a Bigger Growth Driver Than Search?
Google Cloud revenue for the latest quarter rose 82% year over year to $24.8 billion, adding $11.2 billion amid heavy AI infrastructure spending. Google Search grew more slowly, up 17% to $63.3 billion, but its $9.1 billion increase was smaller than Cloud's, so the author argues Cloud now matters more to Alphabet's revenue growth than Search. The author sees chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude, along with Gemini (950 million monthly active users), as a real risk to search volumes and ad revenue, but notes Gemini also underpins Alphabet's services, including AI summaries in Search. Total Alphabet revenue grew 23% year over year last quarter.
