JPMorgan Asset Management's 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, its 31st edition, ranks 13 asset classes by expected compound annual return over the next decade. Bitcoin tops the list at 10% a year over 10 to 15 years, ahead of REITs at 8.2%, small caps at 7.7%, U.S. large caps at 7.5% and gold at 5.5%; $100 would grow to $259 in bitcoin versus $206 in large caps and $171 in gold. It is the first time bitcoin has appeared in the report, which matters because institutional allocators build their models on these assumptions, even though bitcoin's annualized volatility is 55% versus 18% for stocks. The forecast comes as the 10-year Treasury yields above 5%, yet JPMorgan still placed bitcoin at the top.

- Hedge funds emerge as winner of JP Morgan AM new …
JPMorgan Asset Management raised its 10-to-15-year return forecast for diversified hedge funds by 140bp to 6.7%, the largest upgrade of any alternative asset class in its 31st annual Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions. Most of the increase comes from alpha, which rises from 2.4% to 3.9%, while beta slips from 2.9% to 2.8%. The firm cites higher rates boosting short-position carry, governments unlocking new capital pools, and more frequent policy catalysts creating relative value opportunities, though it admits part of the uplift reflects a methodology change. The report suggests that a 30% allocation to a blend of hedge funds, gold, infrastructure and transport can lift a 60/40 portfolio's Sharpe ratio by 22% as stock-bond correlation becomes less reliable. It also warns that manager dispersion remains elevated, so manager selection is vital.

- J.P. Morgan Projects 10% a Year for Bitcoin: The Bank’s Own Bear Case Points to $25,000
J.P. Morgan Asset Management projects a 10% annual return for Bitcoin over the next decade in its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, published October 19. That is the highest figure in the report's table, ahead of U.S. REITs at 8.2%, U.S. large caps at 7.5%, aggregate bonds at 5.6%, gold at 5.5% and cash at 3.2%. The bank also gives a bull case of 16.6% and a bear case of -11.2% per year, from an $83,000 starting price on September 30, which translate to about $386,000, $215,000 (base) and $25,000 per BTC by 2036. The authors call Bitcoin a speculative asset, say a 10-year forecast is premature, and keep it out of their main portfolio models; one framework based on network adoption gives a base case of -3.2% a year. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $23.2 million on Tuesday, and three newly created wallets received 1,090 BTC ($90.38 million) from Wintermute early on Wednesday.
- JPMorgan Puts a Number on Bitcoin for the First Time: 10% a Year, With a Big Caveat
J.P. Morgan Asset Management projected a 10% compound annual return for Bitcoin over the next 10 to 15 years in its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, the first time the report includes the asset. That forecast tops its estimates for U.S. large-cap stocks (7.5%), gold (5.5%) and a 60/40 stock-bond portfolio (7%), but the report puts Bitcoin's annualized volatility at 55%, versus about 17% for gold. The firm still excludes Bitcoin from its main covariance matrices, citing volatility and unstable correlations, and rejected the currency debasement bull case as “wide of the mark.” Bitwise's Matt Hougan welcomed the forecast but argued the 55% volatility assumption is too high, making the return estimate too conservative. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $526.7 million on Monday, trimming October's net outflows to about $88 million.

- CoreWeave's business model explained: Why investors are worried
The video likens CoreWeave to a landlord that borrowed heavily to buy 51 data centers and leases them to customers such as Microsoft and Meta. The speaker says it earned about $2.6 billion last quarter, roughly $1.5 billion after operating and capital costs, yet paid $640 million in debt repayments in the same period. Those payments are projected to rise by $300 million next year to $900 million, leaving the company about $626 million in the red after accounting for everything. Debt has grown to about $35 billion, with $10 billion due within 15 months against $5.5 billion in cash, while the company plans to spend around $6.4 billion on new data centers over the next three months. An online calculation cited in the video put the chance of default over the next three years at 55%, close to a coin flip.
- Big Tech's eMudhra fixes may leave crypto bots exposed, CertiK warns
CertiK says crypto trading bots and exchange apps may remain exposed to the eMudhra certificate flaw even though Google, Apple and Microsoft have blocked eight vulnerable certificates issued by India's eMudhra. Many applications outside the browser ecosystem do not enforce Certificate Transparency or receive the same revocation protections, so browser fixes may not cover them. Attackers could use compromised certificates to impersonate HTTPS connections to exchanges, wallets and APIs, replacing deposit addresses or tricking users into approving malicious transactions, though this would also require intercepting or redirecting users' traffic. CertiK urges operators to update their software and certificate trust stores and verify that their applications reject the affected certificates.
- Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are dominating the AI stock boom. Here's their edge
Fueled by the global AI stock boom, looser capital rules and greater lending to hedge funds, major Wall Street banks have already had a banner year in equities trading. The five largest investment banks generated about $67 billion in equities revenue through Sept. 30, $7 billion more than all of 2025. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley account for a combined $52 billion, nearly 80% of the total, with prime brokerage, which includes margin loans and securities lending to hedge funds, a key growth driver. At Goldman Sachs, equities financing rose 96% in the third quarter to a record $3.37 billion. Asia, especially South Korea and Taiwan, was the fastest-growing frontier for equities.
- From Cultural Appeal to Strategies for Growing Bank Value
VPBank is placing pop culture at the core of its development strategy, as its shares have risen nearly 27% since late July, well ahead of the nearly flat VN-Index. The bank co-organized and was main sponsor of two BIGBANG concerts in Hanoi, which drew more than 50 million access visits to the ticketing platform, and then brought the group's Official Pop-up Store to its Flagship at 89 Láng Hạ, where thousands of fans queued from 3-4 a.m. The article cites KB Kookmin Bank's partnership with Aespa since 2021 and UOB's use of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour, and notes that 91 of the world's 100 most valuable bank brands sponsor sports, per Brand Finance Banking 500 2025. It says these moves turn customer experiences into a competitive advantage.
- SpaceX Bulls Rejoice: JPMorgan Sees 209% Upside
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth more than doubled his SpaceX (SPCX) price target to $500 from $240 on Oct. 21, implying 209% upside, even though the stock is still well below its June 16 high. Third-quarter revenue rose 161% to $14.6 billion, and SpaceX swung to $4.4 billion of net income from a $1.1 billion loss, with first-quarter 2027 revenue guided to $33 billion–$37 billion. Analysts' 2027 EPS estimate has risen to $2.25 from $0.65 three months ago, yet $500 equals 222x that figure, versus a consensus target of $223 as of Oct. 20. The article calls the target plausible but stretched, holding only if the annual recurring revenue forecast from CEO Elon Musk materializes, with capex of $19.6 billion in the third quarter and $35–40 billion expected in the fourth as key risks.
