Zerohash launched AUTH, a service that lets users move crypto, stablecoins and blockchain-based stock tokens between linked exchange accounts or self-custody wallets without copying wallet addresses or choosing a blockchain network. To transfer, users pick an account in an app that offers AUTH, sign in and approve the move, while the service handles routing and settlement and each app sets which assets and transfer types it allows. AUTH supports more than 600 connections, including Coinbase, Robinhood, Gemini, MetaMask and Phantom, with Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini live and Kraken in beta. The launch comes as Zerohash's application for a national trust bank charter, returned by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in July, remains pending after a narrower refiling on Aug. 18.

- JPMorgan Picks Ethereum for JPM Coin, Citing the Network’s Liquidity and Client Use
JPMorgan is launching JPM Coin, its dollar deposit token, on Ethereum and will offer it to institutional clients there, as announced Monday and reported by Bloomberg. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, said Ethereum's liquidity and the fact that the bank's clients already use it drove the choice. The token targets large crypto firms that pay onchain and financial institutions active in tokenized assets, which can use it as onchain cash to settle trades or as collateral. JPM Coin debuted last year on Base, and it lets clients move dollars in seconds at any hour, whereas a transfer can otherwise take several days. JPMorgan's private Kinexys network already handles daily volume above $7 billion, the bank's payments arm handles around $12 trillion in daily payments, and Open Standard launched its OUSD stablecoin on Ethereum, Solana, Base and Tempo last month.
- JPMorgan brings JPM Coin to Ethereum
JPMorgan is extending its JPM Coin beyond Coinbase's Base network to the Ethereum blockchain, citing Ethereum's deeper liquidity and institutional user base. The largest U.S. bank already moves more than $7 billion a day on its private Kinexys network.
- Could Buying XRP Today Set You Up for Life?
XRP, a token developed by Ripple Labs, hit a lifetime high of $3.65 in July 2025 and is now down about 64% from that peak. Year to date, XRP is down roughly 30% versus about 8% for Bitcoin, and its market cap of about $82.5 billion makes it the fourth-largest cryptocurrency excluding stablecoins. The article attributes XRP’s underperformance to Bitcoin gaining share as a store of value and to stablecoins threatening XRP’s payment use case. It concludes that buying XRP is unlikely to set an investor up for life, unless Ripple finds new use cases for the token.
- World Liberty's USD1 stablecoin sheds $400M in market cap in two weeks
The market cap of World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin has dropped more than $400 million over two weeks, to about $4.02 billion on Monday per CoinGecko, down from $4.43 billion on Oct. 6, a 9.1% decline. The drop reflects large redemptions on Ethereum and BNB Chain, and Onchain Benchmark found nearly $200 million of BNB Chain redemptions came from a single unidentified address whose controller could not be established. On Ethereum, more than 99% of tokens sent for redemption passed through a wallet labeled BitGo, USD1's current issuer and custodian. USD1 kept its dollar peg, trading between $0.998 and $1.000 with no sustained depegging. Its Ethereum supply fell 11.45% from Oct. 6 to Oct. 15, steeper than USDe (4.93%), USDC (2.18%) and USDT (0.76%).
- Mastercard research : Nigerian SMEs among global leaders in crypto , stablecoin and cybersecurity adoption
Mastercard's Dreamonomics report finds Nigerian SMEs lead 18 surveyed markets in accepting cryptocurrency and stablecoins and in using cybersecurity tools. 34% accept cryptocurrency versus a 13% global average, 22% use it for business expenses (7% globally), and 23% accept stablecoins, with 11% using them to settle expenses, the highest of any market. 47% already use cybersecurity tools (37% globally) and 83% are excited about AI's potential for their business (70% globally). Mastercard has also brought its Crypto Credential to Nigeria with digital asset exchange Busha, letting eligible users send and receive supported assets using an email address or phone number instead of long blockchain addresses.
- France advances stablecoin tax, eyes self-custodial wallets and exit tax proposals
France's National Assembly adopted Amendment I-3898 by 38 votes to 37, with 25 abstentions, which would tax gains when crypto such as Bitcoin is swapped into stablecoins, even without converting to fiat; if enacted, it could apply from 2027. The calculation would use the acquisition cost of the sold asset and the weighted average purchase price. The same day, the Assembly rejected a proposal to carry forward realized crypto losses for 10 years, by 18 votes to 75 with 3 abstentions. Two proposals remain under consideration for the 2027 Finance Bill: Amendment I-CF1822 would extend the exit tax to unrealized gains for portfolios above €800,000 ($895,000) when taxpayers move their residence abroad, and Amendment I-2701 would require declaring self-custodial wallet holdings above €100,000 ($112,000).

- CoreWeave Dropped 20% Last Week. Is It Time to Panic or Buy?
CoreWeave shares fell more than 20% as of Oct. 16, driven mainly by concerns over debt and spending. The company carries about $35 billion in total debt against $5.5 billion in cash, with net interest payments reaching $640 million in the second quarter alone, unsecured bond yields approaching 15%, and an S&P rating of B+. Capital expenditure was just over $16 billion in the first half of 2026 and could reach $39 billion for the year, roughly triple its $12.4 to $13.2 billion revenue guidance. States are also weighing restrictions on data centers. On the positive side, second-quarter revenue rose 112% year over year and the backlog exceeded $104 billion. The author has reservations and sees the drop as an opportunity only for the most risk-tolerant investors, who might build a position slowly, while the company needs to prove it can convert its backlog efficiently and manage debt.
- Apple’s iPhone Duo Sold Out In Minutes. The Last Time Apple Reinvented The Phone, One Apple Supplier’s Stock Soared About 1,200% In A Decade
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, sold out within minutes of its worldwide preorders opening on Oct. 16, but buyers who ordered more than an hour later face a delay of nearly three months, according to Korea JoongAng Daily, which puts the U.S. starting price at $1,999. One unnamed supply-chain source said Foxconn's final-assembly yield was just above 60% heading into late September, against the 90%-plus rate Apple typically expects, and the hinge, which holds more than 100 parts, is cited as a constraint. Analyst Jeff Pu cut his 2026 shipment estimate from 7 million to 6 million, while reported forecasts range from about 6 million to 10 million units. The article also recalls that Skyworks Solutions, identified as the power-amplifier supplier of the original iPhone, rose about 1,200% over a decade, though those figures cover price only.
- Why Sandisk Stock Shot Higher Today
Sandisk shares jumped as much as 8.3% and were still up 7.9% at 11:24 a.m. ET, helped by a tech rebound and positive news in high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Nvidia has developed NVHBM, a custom HBM die with 15% lower power consumption and 30% higher bandwidth that links NVLink and HBM chips. A Seoul Economic Daily report says Nvidia asked Samsung Electronics to use TSMC's 3-nanometer process to make NVHBM dies, the first such collaboration between the two. Nvidia has also approached Micron and SK Hynix to standardize the process, which could free compute-die space for up to 30% additional compute. The article argues this suggests AI adoption still has room to grow, which would also benefit memory suppliers, and notes Sandisk trades at 19 times earnings and 6 times forward earnings.
- Prediction : Amazon Next Chapter Could Be Its Most Important One Yet
24/7 Wall St. sets a price target of $332.67 for Amazon (AMZN), 30.4% above the current $255.20, and rates the stock a buy with 70% confidence. The thesis rests on AWS, which grew 37% last quarter, its fastest pace in 18 quarters, while Amazon plans to spend about $200B in 2026 on AI infrastructure, chips, robotics and satellites. The article flags risks: trailing free cash flow turned negative at about -$7.6B after second-quarter capex rose 68.44%, and long-term debt climbed to $119.1B from $65.6B. It compares Amazon's valuation with Microsoft and Alphabet, and says the author would stay constructive if AWS growth stays above 30% and free cash flow turns positive in 2027.
- Explainer - What behind Egypt move towards possible military involvement in Saudi - Yemen conflict ?
Egypt's parliament is expected to vote next week on authorising its armed forces to help defend Saudi Arabia against Houthi attacks from Yemen, if Riyadh requests support. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi made the request in a Saturday speech, a clear escalation from Cairo's measured tone since the Iran war began, though Egypt has not publicly committed to a direct combat role. Egypt relies heavily on Gulf states for remittances, aid and deposits, including a $5.3 billion Saudi deposit at Egypt's central bank due this month. Analysts say security concerns, including a July drone strike on two gas vessels at Damietta and shared interest in Red Sea shipping, are pushing Cairo toward a more active stance. Egypt receives about $1.3 billion a year in US military aid and previously sent air and naval forces to the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen in 2015.
- Social Security Trust Fund Depletion drives 3 . 6 % VA increase in 2027
The Social Security Administration announced on Oct. 14 that the 2027 COLA will be 3.6%, the largest increase in four years. Because federal law ties VA disability benefits to this COLA, the same 3.6% would apply to VA compensation if Congress passes the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act. More than 6 million veterans receiving disability compensation would get higher monthly payments; a 10% rating would rise from $180.42 to $186.92, and an 80% rating with a spouse and child from $2,406.15 to $2,492.77. The increase also extends to dependent allowances, clothing allowances, and dependency and indemnity compensation for surviving spouses and children. The VA has not yet published 2027 rate tables, and the adjustment becomes official only once Congress approves the act.
