Solana held $4.4 billion in tradeable tokenized assets as of Oct. 14, its tokenized-asset holders rose 47% in 30 days, and staking yields 4.9% annually. NEAR's Intents handled $4.8 billion of swaps in 30 days, generating $8.2 million in fees used for buybacks, while a proposal to cut issuance to 1.6% over two years, down from 2.5%, has no scheduled vote. About 29% of Zcash's supply sat in shielded pools as of Oct. 14, with the next halving estimated for Nov. 23, 2028. Hyperliquid directs about 99% of trader fees to buybacks, totaling $224 million in Q3 2026, or an annualized $694 million, equal to 3.9% of its $17.8 billion market cap.

- 3 Reasons the Vanguard S & P 500 ETF Could Be Worth Holding for the Next 20 Years
The article argues the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) could be worth holding for the long term, citing the index's built-in momentum-like rebalancing, inflation-driven earnings growth, and long-run return history. Since 1995 there have been roughly 800 constituent changes, about 27 a year, typically replacing smaller companies with larger, growing ones. S&P 500 earnings for Q3 2026 are expected to grow nearly 30% year over year, which the author says has kept the index near its all-time high despite inflation pressure. Citing iShares, the U.S. stock market has never had a negative rolling 20-year return from 1936 through 2025, though the author notes this does not guarantee future results.
- Deutsche Bank Is Weeks From Holding Bitcoin and Ethereum for Clients . Could Other Big Banks Follow ?
Deutsche Bank is weeks away from offering Bitcoin and Ether custody to institutional and corporate clients in Germany, with expansion into Asian financial centers set for 2027, according to Gerald Podobnik, co-head of its corporate bank. The service, announced October 16, 2026, will also cover the USD Coin and EURC stablecoins, but individual account holders cannot use it. The bank has not yet disclosed fees, committed client assets or revenue targets. Rivals such as BNY, which began in October 2022, and U.S. Bancorp, which resumed in September 2025, already offer Bitcoin custody. The article notes that custody adds access but not necessarily new buyers, and Bitcoin, at about $81,497 as of October 17, has fallen 23.4% over the past year while Ether fell 36.9%.
- This AI Chip Stock Has Been Billionaire Philippe Laffont's Largest Holding Throughout 2026. Here's What $10,000 Invested Today Could Be Worth by 2030.
According to the article, TSMC has been the largest holding in billionaire Philippe Laffont's hedge fund, Coatue Management, throughout 2026, accounting for nearly 9% of the fund's publicly traded U.S. equities. TSMC is the world's largest third-party semiconductor manufacturer, with an estimated 73% market share at the end of the second quarter, and the company plans to keep raising prices through 2029 as it ramps up its newest generation of production. Management previously forecast 25% compound annual revenue growth from 2024 to 2029, while revenue grew above 35% in the first half of 2026. Based on 25% earnings growth through 2030 and a typical price-to-earnings multiple of 20-25 times, the article estimates a total return of 52%-90%, meaning $10,000 invested today could be worth $15,200-$19,000 by 2030.

- Ripple-Backed Evernorth Hits Nasdaq Holding 473 Million XRP Worth Far Less Than It Paid
Evernorth, a company backed by Ripple that was built to stockpile XRP, began trading on Nasdaq as XRPN after merging with SPAC Armada Acquisition Corp. II, holding about 473 million XRP and $300 million in gross cash.

XRP fell from $2.37 at signing to a $1.43 reference price at closing, valuing the treasury at about $677 million, well below the more than $1 billion originally raised. SBI Holdings now controls 39.9% of voting shares, while Ripple and related parties agreed to lock-ups barring sales until April 2027.

The article argues that if a market crash comes, five stocks (Costco, TJX, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble and Walmart) have held up through the 2008, 2018 and 2022 downturns, and all pay dividends.

- Tether: Senator's investigation misses positive work that's led to lower Iran volumes
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says a recent Senate Democrats report, led by Senator Richard Blumenthal, missed the company's work to enforce sanctions. He claims Tether froze suspicious addresses on average 4 weeks before OFAC and NBCTF sanction designations, and before Chainalysis labelled them in 99% of cases since 2023. Ardoino says these actions led to Iran-linked stablecoin volumes declining by 94%. The Senate report, which described Tether as providing a significant financial lifeline within Iran's shadow banking network, said the company did not comprehensively freeze flagged wallets before 2024. Blumenthal is also probing Tether's relationship with its U.S. financial partner, Cantor Fitzgerald.
- Sandisk, Datadog, Amazon Lead S&P 500 As AI Stocks Rebound
Western Digital, Sandisk, Datadog, Twilio and Amazon led the S&P 500 on Monday as AI-related stocks rebounded. Western Digital (WDC) rose 6.1% to 352.21, still below all its key moving averages, after plunging 16.4% last week. The hard-drive maker reports fiscal Q1 results late Thursday, kicking off a round of earnings for memory-related companies.
- Tesla Rises on a Foundry Agreement With Intel as JPMorgan Upgrades the Stock
Intel shares rose 4% and Tesla rose 3% after JPMorgan upgraded Intel to Neutral from Underweight and kept its $85 price target. Tesla committed to Intel's 14A process in April, and JPMorgan credits CEO Lip-Bu Tan's execution, expects positive EPS revisions, and sees its 2028 EPS estimate about 15% above consensus. The upgrade remains cautious: Intel is down about 36% from its June peak, its share of server CPU revenue has fallen from 77% to 53% since 2022, and its outside foundry business brought in barely $1 billion of annualized revenue in the first half of 2026. Intel's capital spending has exceeded operating cash every year since 2022, so the $20 billion stock sale and an anchor customer make the factory plan more fundable, though 14A won't reach high-volume production until 2028 and neither company has disclosed the deal's value. Intel reports third-quarter results on Oct. 29.
- What Crypto Bear Market? All of These Cryptocurrencies Have Skyrocketed in Value This Year
Bitcoin is down nearly 10% year-to-date, Ethereum is down 20% and XRP is down 30%, but several altcoins have risen sharply in 2026. Hyperliquid (HYPE) is up 210% for the year with a market cap of $20 billion, helped by the launch of spot ETFs, and Zcash (ZEC) is up 128%, with Grayscale's spot Zcash ETF attracting more than $500 million in under 30 days. NEAR Protocol, repositioned for the AI agent economy, is up 240% in 2026 but still down 75% from its January 2022 all-time high. Venice Token (VVV) is up 1,300% this year with a market cap just above $1 billion. The author favors Hyperliquid, citing its popularity overseas, the recent opening of the U.S. market to perpetual futures, and implicit support from the Trump administration.
- Nscale in talks for $45 billion Anthropic AI deal as IPO looms
Nscale is in talks to secure a computing deal worth about $45 billion with Anthropic, according to Bloomberg News, which could strengthen the Nvidia-backed data center developer's bid for a roughly $30 billion valuation in its planned IPO. The proposed agreement would cover a second building at Nscale's Monarch campus in West Virginia, delivering 460 megawatts of capacity powered by Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips, and could be finalized within days, though terms could still change. Anthropic already has infrastructure agreements with Nscale worth as much as $44.6 billion, according to Nscale's IPO filing, and holds a right of first refusal on the campus's anticipated third building. Investors are scrutinizing AI infrastructure economics, and Nscale faces questions similar to CoreWeave's about financing, execution and converting its backlog into cash flow, since its contracts are future commitments rather than collected cash. Representatives for Nscale and Anthropic declined to comment.
- A bad case of when your crypto thesis is based on one guy
Turkey confirmed the arrest of Hex founder Richard Hart, who was detained in Istanbul on October 14, and said police seized 7.15 million cash, six cold wallets, 28 watches, 300 bags and seven firearms during searches across 15 addresses. The detention relates to a Finnish Interpol red notice over suspicions of gross tax evasion and assault in Finland. Hart had an SCC civil case dismissed in 2025 on jurisdictional grounds, and the SCC declined to refile it. The speaker argues that investors who buy the token based on one founder face a sharp price drop if that person runs into legal trouble, and advises against investing just because of a founder.
