- Lumpy Jio IPO inflows push rupee into overbought zone just as oil renews rise
The Indian rupee edged up to 94.35 per dollar on Thursday from 94.46, entering an 'overbought' zone on technical measures, as strong foreign inflows for the $3.2 billion Jio Platforms IPO offset higher oil prices. Brent rose nearly 2% to $110.6 per barrel on Middle East hostilities concerns after the US ordered some diplomats to leave Saudi Arabia. The pair's 14-day RSI climbed to nearly 74, from about 27 on 9 October. Markets expect the Reserve Bank of India to hike rates further after its first increase in nearly four years earlier this month; October policy minutes signalled more tightening but caution over growth risks. Goldman Sachs said the minutes were more hawkish than the Governor's statement and expects a 25bp hike in December 2026, followed by 50bp more in 1H CY27.

- Crypto traders price India telecoms company Reliance Jio's IPO at about $110 billion
Crypto traders are pricing Jio Platforms at about $110 billion through Bitget's JIOUSDT perpetual contract, which traded near $12, a roughly 4% premium to the top of the IPO price band, while the public subscription remains open. The contract launched on Oct. 14, has traded between $11.48 and $12.24, and generated about $4.4 million in volume, but it carries no shares, voting rights or dividends. It could swing sharply if the IPO is delayed, repriced or canceled. Jio Platforms is the telecom and digital arm of Reliance Industries, and the IPO seeks about 302 billion rupees, the largest in India's history, surpassing Hyundai Motor India's 279 billion-rupee sale in 2024. Similar contracts for SpaceX traded before its debut and implied a $2.2 trillion valuation, while the company's official IPO valuation was almost 20% lower at $1.8 trillion.

- SoFi Launches Tokenized Deposit That Earns 4.4% and Converts to a Stablecoin
SoFi has launched SoFi Earn (SOFIE), which it calls the first national bank-issued tokenized deposit for consumers, with each token representing $1 held at SoFi Bank. Holders earn a 4.40% APY, and the funds are FDIC-insured up to applicable limits, unlike most stablecoins, while tokens can be converted one-to-one into SoFiUSD to buy crypto or move dollars on blockchain rails. Citing Federal Reserve research, SoFi says roughly $64 billion, about 21% of the stablecoin market, sits idle in forgotten or inactive wallets, and the product aims to keep that money earning. It is SoFi's fifth crypto product in under a year, following its late-2025 return to crypto trading with more than 40 tokens and the launch of SoFiUSD.
- Why Nvidia's new DSX POD could really benefit corporate America
Nvidia unveiled the DSX POD, a pre-built, pre-tested rack of chips that plugs into existing power and can get a data center running in as little as 14 days. The host says the 'AI factory in a shipping container' description is misleading, since the unit includes no building or power, and notes neoclouds often face a four-to-six-month gap between receiving chips and generating revenue. He argues the product may appeal more to corporate America, such as financial firms bringing data processing in-house and renting space for 20 racks, rather than relying on endless cloud bills.
- The UK needs a workable route to regulated DeFi access
Katie Harries, Coinbase's head of policy for Europe, argues that the FCA's proposed crypto rules could amount to a de facto ban on regulated firms providing access to DeFi. The FCA expects regulated platforms to execute customer orders only on FCA-authorized venues, but DeFi protocols have no authorized person behind them. The rules apply from October 2027, and the FCA is not writing DeFi-specific rules, applying the same standards as fully centralized trading. The author argues a ban would push activity beyond regulators' visibility, and that clear consumer information, firm responsibilities and customer consent before leaving a regulated platform would address the risks better. The article points to the EU, where ESMA has proposed allowing regulated firms to provide DeFi access, and the US, where the SEC granted an Innovation Exemption for peer-to-peer trading of tokenized stocks.
- SEEQC Demonstrates Quantum Error Correction Performance Gains with Industry First Digital Interface Optimized Decoder Architecture using NVIDIA Ising and NVQLink
SEEQC reported results from a simulated quantum processor showing that combining its chip-based pre-decoder with NVIDIA Ising, linked through SEEQC Digital Link and NVIDIA NVQLink, improved two key decoding metrics, latency and logical error rate, by approximately 50% compared with running NVIDIA Ising as a standalone pre-decoder. The company says these metrics dictate how well fault-tolerant quantum systems scale, and that specialized processing close to the QPU reduces the data sent to GPU-based classical compute. CEO John Levy said tight integration of quantum processors with HPC infrastructure will be key, while NVIDIA's Sam Stanwyck said open models and interfaces let quantum builders accelerate hardware with AI and GPUs. The next step is chip-to-chip integration of a quantum processor within advanced HPC infrastructure for quantum AI applications.
- Rockwell Automation Expands FactoryTalk Conductor with NVIDIA Nemotron Support
Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) said its FactoryTalk Conductor AI orchestration platform now supports NVIDIA Nemotron open models, giving manufacturers more deployment options. The approach lets companies keep engineering and production data in their own environments and retain control over infrastructure, governance and cost, while still using Rockwell-verified agents and skills. The platform lets users start engineering tasks through natural language and points toward agent-driven workflows in which engineers remain responsible for oversight and critical decisions.
- Why Tesla shareholders should be 'a little bit nervous' about a SpaceX merger
Tesla and SpaceX have formed special committees to discuss a possible merger, which would be the largest in history, with SpaceX valued at about $2.2 trillion and Tesla at about $1.7 trillion. One speaker warns Tesla shareholders could swap into SpaceX at about 0.7 SpaceX shares per Tesla share before any premium, with Elon Musk holding about 82% of the vote, raising the question of whether Tesla would be folded in at a discount. Dave Nadig calls the committees theatrics given Musk's 79% voting control, and says the real concern is consolidating control in one person, which makes him skeptical the deal benefits shareholders, who are exposed through index funds regardless.
