- Bank of America Clients Are Dumping Meta and Google Stocks at a Record Pace
Bank of America's weekly equity flows note, reported October 28, 2026, says clients sold U.S. stocks for a second straight week, led by record outflows from communication services after a sharp post-earnings sell-off in Meta. For the week of October 19 through October 23, it was the sector's largest outflow since it became standalone in September 2018. Meta fell 6.98% to $648.85 on October 22 and closed October 28 at $612.49, down 15.5% from $725.18 on September 30. The State Street Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLC) closed at $103.14 on October 28, down 6.4% from $110.19 on October 20, and fell 1.85% after hours to $101.23, below its 52-week low of $102.62.

The article says that if XLC stays below $102.62 and another communication services outflow appears in the October 26 to 30 note, pressure on the fund could continue, while a close above $110.19 would signal the selling has run its course.
- Is Google's New Cryptocurrency Service a Reason to Buy Ethereum or Solana?
Alphabet announced on October 28 its Google Multi-Party Compute (MPC) crypto security platform, with commercial launch scheduled for early 2027, and already uses it to secure its own digital assets on Ethereum and Solana. The platform splits a wallet's private key into fragments held on separate systems and checks each transaction against an institution's rules, supporting ECDSA and Ed25519 signing. The author argues the benefit to Ethereum and Solana is minor, since safer custody does not itself create demand, and notes Ethereum ETFs saw $635 million in net outflows and Solana ETFs $24.8 million in the first seven trading days of October 2026. The article says the signals to watch in the first half of 2027 are ETF flows and bank announcements naming Google's service.

Newly elected Democratic majorities in the Senate and House plan to pass a flurry of bills soon after taking office in January, focusing on affordability, including high costs for gas and groceries, CNBC reports. In their first 100 hours, House Democrats plan to restore expired enhanced health insurance subsidies and reverse Medicaid cuts Trump signed last year, while the party also plans to push a bill undoing his sweeping tariffs and to vote again on ending the Iran war.

Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, pledged to make billionaires pay their fair share of taxes and to scrutinize insurers and pharmaceutical CEOs. Some Democrats are also pushing an ethics package that could ban stock trading by officials and limit super PAC spending.

- Is Broadcom Stock a Buy Now?
Broadcom shares are down 31% from their all-time high and 4% since the start of 2026, hit by a semiconductor sell-off after Intel's disappointing fourth-quarter guidance.

- Canton Coin Gets SEC Nod as Wall Street Tokenization Heats Up
The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance said it views Canton Coin as a “digital commodity” and won't recommend enforcement action if validators and application providers mint the token programmatically without registering it. The staff relied on Canton's representations that the token's value comes from network operation and supply and demand, and that the network has no “central party.” Canton launched without an initial coin offering or premine, with tokens earned only by running network infrastructure and applications. The relief arrived a week after DTCC launched a tokenization service on Canton that lets firms convert DTC-held stocks and Treasuries into tokens, and Morgan Stanley said it was among the first banks to use it. The SEC noted the letter reflects only staff's enforcement position, not a legal conclusion, and rests on the facts Canton presented. Digital Asset, which created the Canton Network, raised $355 million earlier this year from Wall Street firms and a sovereign wealth fund.
