SpaceX reports earnings after the bell on Tuesday. Over the past three months it delivered four astronauts to the International Space Station in record time, expanded its mobile network spectrum, was reportedly eyeing a $40 billion debt deal to buy Nvidia chips, and CEO Elon Musk said he plans to give shares to every kid in America next year. Options market-makers price a roughly 6% move after the report, per Cboe LiveVol data, less than half the 13% erased after its August debut report. The stock rallied 60% over the following two months before reversing, dropping as much as 19% in the past two weeks. Monday's 1.1 million contracts traded were 20% above the 30-day average, with 665,000 calls, and implied volatility is 62 versus above 110 before second-quarter earnings. Two lockup releases, one two days after earnings and one on October 26, together cover over 1.6 billion shares, while earlier releases on Sep. 9, 10 and 24 had no discernible effect.

- BlackRock files for third Bitcoin ETF, still no Solana or XRP
BlackRock has filed a preliminary prospectus with the SEC for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF (PBIT), which would mark its third Bitcoin ETF filing. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly, the fund would use options linked to IBIT across three overlapping sets, aiming for limited downside protection in exchange for capped gains. Each options tranche initially targets a maximum loss exposure of about 10%, before fees and expenses. BlackRock warned the fund offers no fixed protection start value, floor or cap, so investors could face bigger losses. IBIT, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF with $65.7 billion in net assets, and ETHA, with $8 billion, are already in BlackRock's lineup, while it has no US spot ETFs for Solana or XRP yet.

- Russian President Putin unexpectedly proposes a Russia–US–China summit on ending the Ukraine conflict: How is China responding?
According to Beijing Daily, on October 19 a Bloomberg reporter asked China's Foreign Ministry about reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a summit with Chinese and U.S. leaders next month to discuss ending the Ukraine crisis. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said she had no information to provide. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources close to the matter, reported that the Kremlin proposed a three-way dialogue on the sidelines of an upcoming informal APEC leaders' meeting, and that the idea was raised in an October 9 call between Putin and Donald Trump. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the parties are discussing a possible meeting but said there is no clear consensus on the meeting or its agenda, although all three sides acknowledge it is theoretically feasible.
- Anthropic in talks with neocloud Nscale over second multibillion-dollar deal, source tells CNBC
According to a person familiar with the matter, Anthropic is in talks with U.K. neocloud Nscale for a second multibillion-dollar deal to lease computing capacity at a West Virginia site, covering another 460-megawatt data center. The deal could be worth around $45 billion, following a first deal that CNBC reported in August. Anthropic declined to comment, and CNBC has approached Nscale for comment. Rival neoclouds CoreWeave and Nebius have seen their shares fall 28% and 27% in the past month over borrowing concerns, while Nscale faces a report that Microsoft pulled out of a London data center deal over grid delays. Nscale said it remains committed to the project and is exploring alternative power sources, and it filed to list on the NYSE in September.
- Google's Former CEO Quietly Owns 1% of Anthropic
According to unnamed sources, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt owns about 1% of Anthropic, stemming from an investment of tens of millions of dollars in its 2021 Series A, when the company was valued at $461 million. At Anthropic's latest valuation of $965 billion, the stake could be worth about $10 billion, though neither Schmidt nor Anthropic has confirmed the figure. The IPO is discussed at a range of $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion; at the top of that range, the stake could reach $20 billion, lifting Schmidt's net worth from $57.5 billion to nearly $80 billion. Alphabet shares rose 1.05% to close at $344.18, and investors treated the report as a minor development. All figures remain estimates, as nothing has been signed or filed and the IPO timeline is only a plan.
- French Lawmakers Back Stablecoin Swap Tax by Just One Vote
France's National Assembly narrowly adopted budget amendment I-3898 by a single vote, which would treat swaps from crypto into MiCA-regulated stablecoins as taxable sales from January 1, 2027. Of the 100 deputies who voted, 38 backed the measure, 37 opposed it and 25 abstained. Gains would be calculated as the value of stablecoins received minus the purchase price of the coins given up, taxed at a flat rate that rose from 30% to 31.4% after social charges on capital income went from 17.2% to 18.6%. The government opposed the amendment, and Public Accounts Minister David Amiel asked for it to be withdrawn, arguing that stablecoins first need a legal definition. None of the measures is law yet, as the amendment still faces the rest of the budget process, and a separate proposal requiring holders to declare self-custodied crypto worth €100,000 or more has drawn backlash from the crypto industry.
- Elite Extends Elite Intelligence to Claude and Microsoft Copilot, Bringing Trusted Financial Context into the AI Experiences Law Firms Already Use
Elite, the AI financial operations platform for law firms, is launching Elite Intelligence connectors in the Claude and Microsoft marketplaces, powered by its secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) service. The read-only connection lets authorized users ask about clients, matters, invoices, budgets and billing, and get answers grounded in their firm's financial system of record. Existing Elite permissions remain in force, so firms can expand access to financial intelligence without granting additional visibility. The company says this reduces the steps finance teams take, such as switching systems, running reports and exporting data, to answer routine questions. Elite reports supporting more than $160 billion in billing transactions, about 60,000 monthly users and more than 10 million invoices processed in the last 12 months.
