- China financial regulators roll out targeted policies at key financial forum, reaffirm opening-up
The Financial Street Forum (FSF) 2026 opened in Beijing with top financial regulators unveiling targeted policies to expand financial opening-up, including a pilot allowing overseas financial institutions to trade yuan in China's interbank foreign exchange market. PBC Governor Pan Gongsheng said the central bank will set up a liquidity backstop for large redemptions at non-bank financial institutions and expand eligibility for the Standing Lending Facility. Deputy Governor Zhu Hexin said a package of incremental measures will soon support enterprises' international cooperation and facilitate current account transactions. Officials reiterated opening-up commitments, while Tian Lihui of Nankai University said the key signal is upgrading opening-up toward the institutional level, with the focus shifting to whether foreign capital can stay after entry.
- China has no need or intent to gain competitive advantages through currency devaluation : central bank governor
People's Bank of China Governor Pan Gongsheng said China has no need or intent to gain trade advantages through currency devaluation, rejecting foreign media reports that Beijing deliberately keeps the yuan weak. He said the yuan's sensitivity to exchange rate movements in trade has dropped significantly, and China has never engaged in competitive devaluation during the Asian financial crisis, the global financial crisis or recent trade wars. The PBC runs a managed floating system that references a basket of currencies, and in extreme circumstances may intervene directly in the FX market, in line with international rules. Pan also said yuan settlements accounted for 29.1% of China's cross-border goods trade receipts and payments in the first half of 2026, up 1 percentage point from a year earlier.

Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, said the central bank will work with other financial authorities to introduce several policy measures. These include a liquidity support facility for large-scale redemptions by non-bank institutions, expanding institutions eligible for the Standing Lending Facility, and promoting connectivity between the interbank and exchange bond markets. Other measures include pilot programs for foreign financial institutions' RMB business in the onshore foreign exchange market and guidelines on financial support for international science and technology innovation centers in Beijing, Shanghai and the Greater Bay Area. He spoke at the opening of the Financial Street Forum 2026 in Beijing, running from Oct. 19 to 22.
- Beijing Forum Plans Digital Yuan System and Smart - Contract Framework Release
The People's Bank of China plans to unveil a digital yuan system for central-bank operations and a smart-contract services framework at the Beijing Financial Street Forum, according to a briefing on Oct. 12. The program lists 13 events, including the Chengfang FinTech Forum and a seminar on AI applications and risk prevention, and will also cover blockchain and digital finance. At the 2025 forum, the PBOC announced a digital yuan operations and management center in Beijing.

- China signals overnight rate set to become main policy benchmark
PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng said the overnight reverse repo rate will eventually replace the seven-day rate as the main policy rate, at an appropriate time. Overnight repos are the most heavily traded product in the interbank market, and their DR001 rate is already a target of PBOC operations, which would make the central bank's guidance more precise. The overnight repo rate held steady at 1.26%, while overnight interbank borrowing costs fell below 1.3% in October, their lowest since May, widening the gap with the seven-day reverse repo rate of 1.4%. The yuan rose 0.1% to 6.6813 per dollar in the offshore market.

- Cardano holders are being asked to bet $5 million on copper hitting a new record
Toto Finance is asking Cardano's treasury for 22 million ADA, about $5 million, to buy and tokenize copper, with voting closing Nov. 15. About two-thirds of the budget would buy copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse for 18 to 24 months before sale, while the rest covers storage, insurance, audits and Toto's work. If the full budget is spent and ADA's dollar price stays unchanged, copper would need to rise about 49.4% for the treasury to recover its investment, and there is no guarantee the treasury gets its original ADA back. Toto could receive up to 3.36 million ADA, roughly 15% of the request, and would keep its commercial rights to its tokenized-copper business. The proposal would use just over half of Cardano's remaining withdrawal allowance, which would not be replenished under existing rules.
- Bitcoin Core changes security policy as AI makes bugs easier to find
Bitcoin Core is changing its security disclosure policy because large language models have made some flaws easy to rediscover, so long embargoes offer little protection. Under the new policy, vulnerabilities deemed easily discoverable will be fixed as soon as possible across all maintained major versions, with security advisories published alongside the updates. Other flaws will follow severity-based schedules: low-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the fix is released, while medium and high-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the last affected release reaches End of Life, typically a year after the fix. The change follows a volunteer Bitcoin Red Team report of nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects in August, though only about a fifth had been reproduced at that point.
- Asia FX steadies as oil surge weighs on risk appetite, yen holds gains
Asian currencies and the U.S. dollar were largely subdued on Friday as investors weighed rising energy costs and geopolitical tensions, while the yen held its gains after a safe-haven rally tied to concerns over global growth and tech valuations. The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 101.60 by 03:33 GMT, near a three-week low and on track for a second straight weekly loss. USD/JPY edged up 0.1% to 156.90 after a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, as the yen reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent crude near $114 a barrel, after a 4% jump on Thursday following attacks in Saudi Arabia, raises inflation risks for energy importers such as Japan, India and South Korea. The Indian rupee extended its losses, with USD/INR up 0.3% to 95.109, while the yuan hovered near four-year lows; the Fed is expected to hold rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, with ECB and BoJ decisions due on October 29 and 30.
