New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the city will receive 15% of intellectual property proceeds from the Quantum Fabrication Facility (QFab) being built by New York University (NYU) in Manhattan, along with three seats on the project's Executive Advisory Board. NYU is contributing $255 million of the $284 million total, while the city will award $29.2 million, and the lab is expected to open in 2030. A city statement estimates quantum technology could generate up to $2.7 trillion in economic value by 2035. The article also notes the Trump administration has made government equity stakes a recurring tool, holding 9.9% of Intel Corp. and committing $2 billion to nine quantum computing companies in exchange for equity stakes.

- Prediction: IonQ Could 10x by 2035
The author argues IonQ, with a $12 billion market cap, could rise tenfold to about $120 billion by 2035 if quantum computing takes off. IonQ's trapped-ion approach holds the world record in two-qubit gate fidelity, and its 256-qubit quantum computer, expected in early 2027, has already drawn several orders. The company also closed its SkyWater acquisition for chip fabrication and bought cybersecurity platform Elisity, though it is currently unprofitable. Reaching $120 billion at 10 times sales would require about $12 billion in annual revenue, versus just over $800 million analysts project for next year. The article cites industry expectations of viable commercial quantum computers around 2029 and McKinsey's projection of up to $72 billion in annual industry revenue by 2035, but notes there is no guarantee IonQ will succeed.
- INTC, AMD, MU, SNDK: US Chip Stocks Rebound After Worst Week Since March
U.S. chip stocks rebounded over the weekend after their worst week since March, as investors repositioned ahead of third-quarter earnings from Tesla, Netflix and Meta. Intel and AMD each rose about 2.6% in overnight trading, while Micron and SanDisk gained 1.8% and 2.6%, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) rose 2.4% after an 11.8% drop the previous week. In a Nikkei interview, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the company was “80% done” with its restructuring and pointed to AI chip packaging and ASICs as growth areas. Intel also unveiled its GPU D-series with up to 480GB of memory, which according to TechRadar surpasses the 288GB of Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra B300 for data center GPU memory capacity. Stocktwits sentiment was bullish on SOXX, bearish on INTC, neutral on AMD and bullish on MU and SNDK, while one trader warned of possible further downside before a bounce and advised caution with long positions until last week's high is broken.

- Intel (INTC) Lands A Major Customer For Its 14A Foundry Process
Intel said Tesla has agreed to use its upcoming 14A manufacturing process as a foundry customer, and reported progress on output from its 18A node. The chipmaker also announced a US$20b equity raise to fund new factory buildouts tied to its foundry expansion. The article suggests Tesla's commitment shows chip buyers are willing to test Intel for advanced logic production, while heavy capital spending could weigh on free cash flow and delay foundry breakeven. Key signals to watch include whether Intel discloses more named 14A or 18A customers with meaningful dollar commitments, and whether Intel Foundry operating losses move toward management's late 2028 breakeven goal.

- Asian stocks start week on back foot , tracking tech - led Wall St losses
Asian stocks mostly fell on Monday, tracking a tech-heavy selloff on Wall Street driven by worries over the AI investment boom. Chipmakers and AI-linked firms remain under pressure over inflation, rising costs and when the huge sums invested in the sector will pay off. CoreWeave's stock has fallen around 30 percent this month as yields on some of its bonds surged, and the Nasdaq dropped more than two percent in the latest Wall Street session. Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Shanghai, Sydney, Singapore and Wellington all slipped while Hong Kong was closed, and China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5 percent, slightly above forecasts. Oil held above $100 after surging more than three percent on Friday.

- JPMorgan's JPM Coin, representing dollar deposits, is coming to Ethereum: Bloomberg
JPMorgan will make JPM Coin, a token representing its dollar deposits, available to institutional clients on Ethereum, according to Bloomberg. The bank says Ethereum's liquidity makes it attractive to crypto companies seeking blockchain payments and to financial firms settling trades or backing tokenized assets. The move extends JPMorgan's blockchain work beyond Base and its private Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion daily. The bank did not say when the token will go live on Ethereum. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is among US banks planning a shared tokenized deposit network, but it was not on Swift's list of 17 banks preparing live transactions on its blockchain ledger in July.
- Cerrado Gold Reports 21% Year-Over-Year Increase in Q3 2026 Production Results at Minera Don Nicolas
Cerrado Gold reported Q3 2026 production of 16,685 GEO at the Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) mine in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, up 21% from 13,832 GEO in Q3 2025. Year-to-date output reached 44,942 GEO, up 23% from 36,432 GEO in the comparable 2025 period. Heap leach output held steady at 9,649 GEO, while CIL output rose to 7,036 GEO as higher-grade Calandrias material, generally above 2.5 g/t gold, was routed to the Martinetas mill. Laboratory tests on selected material showed gold recoveries of up to 95%, versus about 60% expected from heap leaching, and the company now expects full-year 2026 production at the upper end of its 50,000 to 60,000 GEO guidance while targeting a new PEA by late Q1 2027.
- Is Visa Stock Still a Buy After Gaining 14% This Year?
Visa shares hit an all-time high of $401, up about 12% over the past two weeks from $359 at the end of September and up 14% year to date. Key catalysts include approval from the People's Bank of China to set up a bankcard clearing institution in China and the move of Visa Direct's stablecoin to commercial deployment on Oct. 15. Baird and BMO Capital both raised their price targets. Visa reports fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Oct. 27 and has raised its dividend every year since 2009, last year by 14% to $0.67 per share. The author still considers the stock a buy ahead of earnings, citing a forward P/E of 24.

PUFrt provides the physical security foundation for Caliptra, an open-source hardware Root-of-Trust architecture, from key generation to chip mass-production testing. It has already been integrated into Caliptra products from ASPEED and security systems from several memory makers and networking chip vendors. The company says the milestone advances hardware security for cloud and AI infrastructure.
- Crypto vault deposits top $10 billion as lending risks draw regulatory scrutiny
Deposits into crypto lending vaults have risen from $4 billion at the start of last year to more than $10 billion, according to the Financial Times. Each vault is run by a 'curator' who selects lending strategies through smart contracts on DeFi platforms, sets risk limits and collects fees, with typical returns of 3% to 10% and riskier strategies reaching 20% or more. Risks include illiquid or hard-to-sell collateral, automatic liquidations, hacks and coding errors, while investors may focus on headline yields. Fintechs, digital asset treasury firms and hedge funds are among the main depositors, and Bitcoin lender Two Prime launched a vault on Pareto targeting 1.5% to 2% yields, with a minimum deposit of 5 WBTC and about $10 million of its own capital absorbing initial losses. U.S. and European regulators are examining whether existing rules should apply, and the SEC has questioned vaults that hold securities.
