Treasury yields climbed after the Fed held interest rates steady, with two FOMC members dissenting in favor of a rate hike as inflation remains elevated.
The 10-year Treasury yield hit 5.04%, while the two-year reached 4.78%, and the Fed cited resilient spending, strong productivity and robust capital investment.
The hawkish signals could reinforce expectations of tighter monetary policy, potentially supporting the dollar while pressuring gold, Bitcoin and other risk-sensitive assets.
The Federal Reserve held the federal funds target range at 3.75%-4.0% in a 10-2 FOMC vote, in line with market expectations.
Two officials dissented in favor of raising rates: Fed Governor Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack. The dissenting votes make the policy message less dovish despite the expected decision to hold.
The Fed said economic activity is expanding at a “strong” pace and inflation remains elevated. It also said employment growth is keeping pace with labor-force growth, while the unemployment rate has changed little.
The central bank said incoming information will help determine the appropriate policy stance. Inflation and labor-market data remain key inputs for the next policy decision, with implications for rate-sensitive markets including NAS100, SPX500 and XAU.
The Federal Reserve held rates unchanged, triggering sharp reversals across U.S. rates and dollar gauges while gold extended losses.
The 2-year Treasury yield initially fell, then rebounded and fluctuated between 4.7619% and 4.7744%, remaining in an overall upward trend. The 10-year Treasury yield also stayed higher, rising from 5.0051% to 5.0321%.
Spot gold's decline widened to 0.6%, approaching the $4,028.18 daily low recorded at 15:01 Beijing time. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index traced a V-shaped reversal from 00:00, reached a daily high of 102.49 at 15:12, and then remained volatile to the downside.
The Bloomberg Dollar Index also showed a short-term V-shaped move, with its gain widening to 0.08% at 1,226.31. The cross-asset response highlights continued sensitivity to inflation and the expected policy path, with higher long-end yields and dollar moves relevant for gold and tokenized-gold assets including PAXG and XAUT.
Survey data from the DeFi Education Foundation and Ipsos suggests crypto support is not sharply divided along party lines, with Republicans and Democrats expressing similar views on financial innovation.
The survey found that 27% in each party support rules allowing financial innovation, while more than one in five Americans have owned or used crypto.
Broad bipartisan support for financial innovation could strengthen the case for crypto-friendly policies and wider adoption of digital assets.
Solana's latest engineering roundup lists new validator and developer-tool releases alongside work following Alpenglow's mainnet activation.
The October 22 changelog includes Agave v4.3.2, Firedancer mainnet v26.10.4, and Web3.js v3.1.1, while Transaction V1 remains a longer-term direction and legacy transaction deprecation is still only a proposal.
Continued client improvements and smoother upgrades could strengthen Solana's infrastructure over time, but adoption and measurable performance gains remain unconfirmed.
KiiChain has launched US virtual accounts on Kii, enabling users to access dollar-denominated banking functions and stablecoin swaps on one platform.
Users can send and receive payments through RTP, Fedwire, ACH, and SWIFT without a direct banking relationship, while the accounts include FDIC-insured deposits.
The launch could boost Kii's appeal for users seeking easier connections between traditional payments and stablecoins, potentially supporting broader platform adoption.
Ondo Finance has joined the DTCC Tokenization Service ecosystem as a collaborator, strengthening its participation in institutional tokenization as the service launches.
The service supports institutional asset transfers between traditional and tokenized markets, including transfers for collateral use, alongside collaborators such as Broadridge, DRW, and Fireblocks.
The collaboration could support broader institutional adoption of tokenized assets, although no direct change to ONDO's token economics was announced.
The Federal Reserve left benchmark interest rates unchanged at 3.75%-4.0%, as markets expected, while signaling continued concern about stubbornly high inflation.
September inflation reports remained troubling, and markets had priced out a rate hike at this meeting while fully pricing in one at the next meeting in early December.
The Fed's inflation stance and December rate-hike expectations could pressure risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, if monetary policy remains tighter than investors anticipate.
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged tonight, with attention centered on how Chair Warsh explains the decision after the latest inflation report showed signs of renewed price pressure.
Deutsche Bank U.S. chief economist Matt Luzzetti expects Warsh to signal that recent inflation data reinforce the potential need for further rate increases, while an October pause gives policymakers more time to assess the trend. Luzzetti said Warsh will likely seek to avoid suggesting that the Fed is unwilling to take necessary action against persistent inflation.
The policy communication is particularly important because Warsh's July press conference created confusion about whether the Fed was committed to a credible inflation-fighting strategy. Hawkish messaging could raise valuation pressure on rate-sensitive growth stocks and crypto assets, while vague guidance would shift attention toward Fed policy credibility rather than the rate hold itself.
Gold fell 0.54% to $4,052.60 per ounce as markets awaited the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision while surging crude oil prices and escalating U.S.-Iran tensions heightened uncertainty.
December WTI crude rose 3.13% to $103.03 per barrel, while markets priced in a 92.8% probability of the Fed holding rates at 3.75%-4.00% amid persistent inflation.
Further oil price increases and hawkish Fed signals could add pressure to gold, while escalating geopolitical risks may support safe-haven demand.
Ottawa is investigating Cleveland-Cliffs' motives for acquiring Stelco after CEO Lourenco Goncalves said the purchase was intended to stop Stelco from undercutting his company in the U.S. steel market.
Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly says Cleveland-Cliffs has nine days to respond to demands that it honor acquisition commitments, while Ottawa has consulted lawyers about potential consequences.
Potential enforcement action or renewed scrutiny of the acquisition could create uncertainty for Cleveland-Cliffs and Stelco's business outlook.
Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GLXY) shares rose Wednesday after several Wall Street firms saw significant upside following the company’s third-quarter earnings. The information provided does not specify the share-price gain, earnings figures, analyst price targets, or details of the firms’ assessments. The immediate catalyst was Wall Street’s post-earnings response.
Gold settled 0.6% lower at $4,036 an ounce ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision, while Bitcoin faces potential selling pressure from long-term holders who bought at higher prices.
Glassnode analysts estimate that about 4 million BTC were acquired between $85,000 and $118,000, leaving those holdings underwater near $80,000, while fading ETF demand adds to the challenge.
Bitcoin's recovery toward $85,000 could trigger profit-neutralizing sales from underwater holders, potentially capping upside, while gold could face further pressure if firm economic data strengthens the dollar.
Alphabet is in focus ahead of Q3 earnings as Wall Street forecasts Google Cloud revenue could jump 90% to $29.1B, while Google Cloud's backlog stands at $514B. The outlook centers on AI spending and how Alphabet converts its backlog into cloud revenue through 2027. Alphabet shares rise in the source context, though no price or trading-volume figure was provided.
US Midwest corn and soybean basis bids were mostly steady to firmer as harvest neared completion, with grain handlers raising bids to secure remaining supplies.
The USDA reported soybean harvest completion at 79% and corn at 60%, while soybean basis strengthened by 15 cents per bushel at a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, crushing plant and corn-based ethanol production rose to 1.118 million barrels per day.
Tighter remaining harvest supplies and reduced farmer selling could support cash grain prices, although declining CBOT futures remain a potential headwind for corn and soybeans.
The USDA reports private exporters sold 120,000 metric tons of soybeans to unknown destinations for the 2026/27 marketing year, providing a fresh demand signal for the market.
Soybeans trade 0.1% higher at $12.30½ a bushel on the CBOT, while China still has 30%-35% of its 25 million-ton new-crop purchase commitment remaining.
Further Chinese buying could support soybean prices, particularly if demand helps maintain support near $12.30 a bushel.
Gold futures settled 0.6% lower at $4,036 an ounce as rising oil prices and Middle East escalation concerns weighed on the metal ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision.
Silver dropped 1.5% to $53.457 an ounce, its lowest close since November 26, 2025, while investors assessed the risk of a more hawkish Fed stance despite no rate hike being expected.
Gold could face further pressure if firm inflation and growth data strengthen the dollar and reinforce expectations for higher interest rates, while dovish signals could support the metal.
Glassnode analysts say long-term Bitcoin holders are sitting on unrealized losses, with roughly 4 million BTC acquired between $85,000 and $118,000 while Bitcoin trades near $80,000.
More than half of long-term holders' coins were purchased above current levels, and ETF demand has faded, although each new dip is realizing smaller losses.
A recovery toward $85,000 could trigger break-even selling, potentially creating additional resistance for Bitcoin's rebound.

Cerebras Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CBRS) shares fell Wednesday after short seller Culper Research published a report alleging that the chipmaker's wafer-sized processors wear out too quickly. The report raises questions about the durability of Cerebras' processor technology, a key part of its product lineup. No price, volume, flow, or other trading metrics were provided in the source context.
A reported hack has taken the US Federal Election Commission's filing system offline, potentially obscuring last-minute crypto PAC spending ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Before the outage, Fairshake reported spending $56 million on media opposing Sherrod Brown and supporting Jon Husted in Ohio, while Digital Freedom Fund disclosed more than $7 million for the same race.
The disruption could limit public visibility into crypto industry's election spending and complicate tracking of political support for digital asset legislation.
Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) shares rose 24.6% to $0.08 during Wednesday's regular trading session. The market value of the company's outstanding shares was $57.2 million.
The move put Datavault AI among information technology stocks gaining in intraday trading. The source did not provide a catalyst, trading volume, or additional market data for the price move.
Bitcoin's rebound stalled below its 50-day moving average at $81,831, with BTC falling around 0.3% after failing to sustain gains above $81,687 ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision. Glassnode reported only $3.4 million in bids at $80,000, while stronger bid liquidity of about $42 million accumulated between $78,000 and $79,000. BTC could face further downside pressure if support weakens, while Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's comments could influence near-term market direction.
Solana activated its Alpenglow consensus protocol on mainnet on October 21, targeting transaction finality of approximately 150 milliseconds compared with roughly 12.8 seconds under the previous TowerBFT design. The upgrade introduces the Votor voting design, which moves consensus votes directly between validators, while the 150-millisecond figure remains a target rather than a guaranteed result for every transaction. If real-world testing confirms faster, reliable finality, the upgrade could strengthen Solana's appeal for payments and financial applications, though adoption and token-price effects remain uncertain.
Crude oil futures climbed as Middle East supply risks intensified following an unconfirmed Houthi claim of a missile strike targeting Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura refinery, while diplomatic efforts failed to ease market concerns. December WTI rose $3.31 to $103.21 per barrel and December Brent gained $2.29 to $116.17, supported by a fourth consecutive weekly decline in U.S. crude inventories to 410.6 million barrels. Further regional escalation could push oil prices higher, while credible diplomatic progress may unwind part of the geopolitical risk premium.
Oil prices surged as U.S. military repositioning and unconfirmed claims of a missile strike on Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura refinery heightened Middle East supply concerns. December Nymex crude rose 2.3% to $102.16 per barrel, while Brent climbed 1.4% to $115.47, as U.S. naval forces advised vessels to avoid unnecessary Strait of Hormuz transits. Further regional escalation could intensify oil supply risks and add pressure to inflation-sensitive markets.
Coinbase faces uncertainty ahead of its third-quarter earnings as analysts question whether the crypto trading rebound can translate into stronger revenue after Robinhood reported a 55% drop in crypto transaction revenue and a 38% decline in trading volume. Wall Street forecasts Coinbase quarterly trading volume of $141 billion to $173 billion, while analysts warn that weaker early-October activity and fee pressure could limit recovery. Coinbase shares could face pressure if trading revenue disappoints or its newer businesses fail to offset continued dependence on crypto market activity.
Boeing’s defense unit improved sharply, but losses in commercial jets, supply issues and a slower 737 Max production ramp weighed on earnings. The 737 program remains the main driver of Boeing’s near-term commercial performance. The results highlight stronger defense revenue alongside continued pressure from commercial-jet execution challenges.
Alphabet shares rose Wednesday ahead of Q3 earnings, as reports said OpenAI plans to buy Google AI chips.

The integration includes Bitcoin price contracts settling every 15 minutes and uses Phantom Cash balances denominated in the CASH stablecoin, while Kalshi handles verification and trade execution.
The launch could expand access to crypto-linked prediction markets, although ongoing legal disputes and state-by-state availability restrictions may limit adoption.
U.S. natural gas inventories are expected to rise by 70 billion cubic feet, below the five-year average, potentially tightening the storage surplus as the injection season nears its end.
The forecast would lift inventories to 3,714 Bcf for the week ended October 23 and narrow the surplus over the 2021–2025 average to 28 Bcf from 35 Bcf.
If official data confirms the smaller-than-average build, natural gas prices could receive support from a narrowing storage surplus.
Crude oil surged more than 3% to above $103 a barrel as escalating Middle East hostilities intensified concerns over potential supply disruptions.
Yemen’s Houthis claimed a missile strike on Saudi Arabia’s largest oil refinery, an attack Saudi authorities had not confirmed, while US crude inventories fell by 1.9 million barrels in the week ended October 23.
If regional tensions escalate further and threaten oil flows, crude prices could face additional upward pressure, although uncertain diplomatic efforts may influence the outlook.
Grok AI has outlined a speculative scenario in which Somnia (SOMI) could see major growth by January 1, 2027, if it becomes a preferred blockchain for gaming, social platforms, and AI applications.
SOMI has reportedly gained over 100% since September and is consolidating around $0.175–$0.185, with resistance at $0.20–$0.25 and momentum indicators currently neutral.
If major consumer platforms adopt Somnia and broader crypto market conditions turn favorable, SOMI could benefit from increased network activity, but the article's ambitious price targets remain highly speculative.

US refinery utilization fell 0.6 percentage points to 92.8% in the week ended October 23, according to the EIA headline.
The reported decline indicates a lower share of refinery capacity was in use during the week, though no additional supply or demand figures were provided.
Lower refinery utilization could pressure crude oil demand while potentially tightening refined-product supply, leaving the overall impact on oil prices uncertain.
US EIA data show crude oil stocks at Cushing fell by 620,000 barrels to 27.0 million barrels in the week ended October 23.
The reported decline indicates lower inventories at the key US crude oil storage hub, based on the supplied headline.
The inventory draw could support WTI crude prices, although the broader market impact remains uncertain without additional supply and demand data.
Euro zone bond yields rose as renewed Middle East supply concerns pushed Brent crude up around 2% to $116 a barrel, while French sovereign debt faced additional fiscal and political pressure.
German 10-year yields reached 3.3635%, while French 10-year yields climbed 3 basis points to 4.94% ahead of Thursday's European Central Bank decision, with the ECB expected to hold rates steady.
Persistent energy-driven inflation and mounting French bond-market stress could intensify volatility across European debt markets and complicate central bank policy decisions.
Coinbase will convert Aerodrome Finance (AERO) and Velodrome Finance (VELO) holdings into the new AERO token from November 2–4, 2026, with VELO converted at an approximate rate of 0.044 AERO per token.
AERO will convert at a 1:1 rate, while sends and receives for both tokens will be temporarily disabled during the conversion period and re-enabled on November 4.
The migration could increase attention toward AERO but may create short-term uncertainty and transfer disruptions for affected holders.
Galaxy Research says nine hedge funds cut their spot Bitcoin ETF exposure by roughly 68,000 BTC between late September 2025 and June 2026, while wealth platforms and sovereign funds increased their holdings.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recovered 87,000 BTC since their June 2026 low, with year-to-date net inflows of approximately $355 million as of mid-October despite October outflows.
Upcoming Q3 13F filings due November 16 could clarify whether institutional buyers are sustaining Bitcoin's recovery or whether continued hedge fund selling will pressure demand.
Vertiv reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.21, beating estimates, while revenue rose 61% to $4.313 billion. The company said orders surged 100%, driven by infrastructure spending, and raised its full-year guidance. Vertiv shares rose after the results.
ICE canola futures traded between small gains and losses Wednesday as strong crude oil provided support, while fund selling weighed on prices.
Canola faced pressure from declines in soyoil, European rapeseed, and Malaysian palm oil, while Manitoba's harvest was 99% complete with yields ranging from below average to average.
Continued weakness across vegetable oils and fund selling could limit canola's near-term upside despite support from crude oil.
US stocks paused ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, with the Nasdaq near flat after a nearly 2% rally over the previous two days as investors awaited Chair Kevin Warsh's comments.
Treasury yields climbed above 5%, while rising oil prices added to inflation concerns and investors prepared for Alphabet and Microsoft earnings after the market close.
A hawkish Fed outlook or renewed concerns about AI spending could pressure technology stocks, while dovish signals and strong earnings may support further gains.
US gasoline futures held near $3.15 per gallon as traders balanced escalating Middle East supply risks against improving gasoline inventories.
Gasoline inventories remain 2% below seasonal norms despite an unexpected 3.8 million-barrel build in the week ending October 23, while refinery maintenance and geopolitical tensions continue to threaten supply.
Potential disruptions to Saudi and Russian refining could tighten fuel markets and support gasoline prices, though easing driving demand and inventory gains may limit upside.
Coinbase has added Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin across its retail app, Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase Prime, expanding access for retail and institutional customers.
Users can convert dollars and other supported dollar-denominated stablecoins into RLUSD at a 1:1 ratio, with deposits and withdrawals supported on the XRP Ledger, Ethereum and Base; RLUSD's market capitalization has surpassed $2.6 billion.
Broader exchange access and growing institutional support could boost RLUSD adoption and increase stablecoin activity across its supported blockchain networks.
The OCC has proposed revised weekly and quarterly reporting requirements for permitted payment-stablecoin issuers, aiming to strengthen regulatory oversight of their financial condition and activity.
The proposed forms apply to qualifying domestic and registered foreign issuers, with initial weekly reporting targeted for January 25, 2027, and quarterly reporting for March 31, 2027, subject to required approvals.
More frequent standardised reporting could improve confidence in stablecoin reserves and redemption risks, but the market impact will depend on final requirements and implementation.
Gold slipped 0.3% to $4,044.54 per ounce as rising oil prices fueled inflation concerns ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision and Chair Kevin Warsh's comments.
Markets widely expect rates to remain at 3.75%-4.00%, while traders price in an 84% probability of a December hike and US PCE inflation data is due Thursday.
Persistent inflation and expectations of higher interest rates could pressure gold further by increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
GenLayer Labs warns that x402 AI agent payments lack a built-in dispute or refund mechanism, leaving buyers unable to recover funds when an agent pays for the wrong product or service.
The protocol reportedly processed 75 million transactions in July 2026 and exceeded 130 million cumulatively, while GenLayer has introduced its Internet Court dispute-resolution system with fees starting at around 30 cents per verdict.
Without an effective dispute layer, the lack of buyer protection could limit x402 adoption for higher-value commerce, while decentralized adjudication may help unlock broader AI-driven payments.
AI agent payments face a critical trust gap: when an agent pays for the wrong product or service, blockchain-based stablecoin transactions offer no standard chargeback or dispute process.
A security study found all 15 tested x402 payment facilitators violated at least one of eight safety rules, while nearly 2% of settlement attempts on Base reverted in late 2025.
Without programmable dispute resolution and accountability, growing AI-driven payment activity could expose merchants and buyers to losses and pressure adoption of machine-to-machine commerce.
WTI crude oil gained 3% intraday and was quoted at $102.49 per barrel on October 28, moving above the $100 mark.
The move puts energy back on the macro radar. Sustained crude strength could revive inflation concerns and complicate the outlook for rate-sensitive assets. The key watchpoint is whether WTI holds beyond the reported intraday momentum, with follow-through likely to shape attention on energy-linked equities and broader risk sentiment.
ICE canola futures traded between small gains and losses Wednesday as crude oil strength provided support but fund selling weighed on prices.
Soybean and soymeal markets were relatively steady, while soyoil, European rapeseed, and Malaysian palm oil declined; Manitoba’s canola harvest was 99% complete, with yields below average to average.
Continued weakness in vegetable oils and fund selling could limit near-term upside for canola futures despite support from crude oil.
TruGolf Holdings (NASDAQ: TRUG) is deploying Polymath’s tokenization technology to migrate its TruGolf Links franchise ownership records onto Polymesh, a blockchain designed for regulated digital securities.
The franchise network is scaling toward 221+ committed locations, while equipment leasing and fractional franchise ownership opportunities are targeted for an initial rollout in Q1 2027.
The deployment could expand the use of tokenized securities in franchise financing, though execution and future offerings remain subject to regulatory requirements and business risks.
Corn futures rebounded 1% on the CBOT after four consecutive sessions of losses, reclaiming ground while holding above the key $4.50 level. Funds have significantly reduced their long positions, while analyst Doug Bergman says current U.S. and global supply-demand balances suggest value at these price levels. The rebound could extend if fund selling eases, though continued positioning shifts may keep volatility elevated.
Artificial Superintelligence Alliance has released ASI:Work, an AI desktop application designed to execute file-based tasks across business workflows and software development.

The token burns could support a bullish outlook for INJ by reducing its circulating supply, though the market impact remains uncertain.
France's Senate has approved a bill to enable cross-border sharing of crypto transaction data with foreign tax authorities, marking a step toward broader international crypto tax transparency.
The proposed legislation would implement the OECD's CARF framework, with exchanges scheduled to begin across 46 jurisdictions in 2027 and potentially expand to 77 by 2029.
If the National Assembly approves the bill, expanded reporting could increase regulatory scrutiny and compliance pressure across the crypto market.
BitGo has integrated Jupiter's validator to let institutional clients stake Solana's SOL directly from their existing custody accounts while maintaining their established custody arrangements.
The partnership combines Jupiter's Solana validator infrastructure with BitGo's regulated custody platform, enabling institutions to earn staking rewards without moving assets to separate providers.
The integration could increase institutional participation in Solana staking and strengthen demand for SOL as regulated digital-asset infrastructure expands.
