Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe has proposed ending automatic funding for the Zcash Community Grants program and redirecting its remaining 8% block subsidy allocation to the Network Sustainability Mechanism.
The proposal cites more than $125 million in grant-program funding and a treasury holding 91,452.98 ZEC, while the existing allocation model could generate over $68 million in ZEC annually.
If approved through a future network upgrade, the change could reshape Zcash's funding structure without increasing its issued supply, though the proposal has not yet been scheduled for activation.
Ripple’s 1 billion XRP unlocked from escrow on October 1 remains untouched in its wallets after 26 days, leaving a major potential supply overhang in focus as Swell 2026 begins.
Wallets holding at least 10 million XRP now control 46.87 billion tokens, or 68.5% of supply, while 30-day exchange inflows reached 6.05 billion XRP and U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded $3.61 million in outflows on Monday.
If Ripple moves the untouched tokens or another 1 billion XRP unlocks on November 1, potential selling pressure could intensify as XRP trades below its 50-day and 200-day EMAs.
Grayscale increased its Bittensor fund holdings to 38,289.6 TAO in Q1, while TAO rose from approximately $220 to $307 over the quarter.
Angel investor Jason Calacanis also disclosed a long position in Bittensor, citing the AI investment thesis, while fund redemptions remain subject to regulatory approval.
Growing institutional exposure and investor interest in AI-focused crypto could support TAO sentiment, though regulatory uncertainty may remain a headwind.
Ethereum faces a cautious near-term outlook as decentralized exchange spot volume and perpetual futures trading both decline, pointing to reduced trading activity.
DEX spot volume fell 12.2% week over week to $44.09 billion, while perpetual futures volume dropped 8.6% to $142.54 billion.
Lower trading activity and a bearish near-term bias could leave ETH vulnerable to further weakness, while elevated Q4 volatility may bring sharp moves in either direction.
Bitcoin faces mounting downside pressure as trader Ansem turns bearish, approximately $175 million in BTC spot CFD positions are liquidated in 24 hours, and market momentum cools near $80,000 support.
Long positions accounted for most liquidations, puts represented about 91% of roughly $32 million traded at the $80,000 options strike last week, and model-based odds of Bitcoin falling below $70,000 rose to 17%.
A decisive break below $80,000 could expose Bitcoin to a liquidity sweep toward $75,000, while weakening demand and cautious positioning may keep volatility elevated.
U.S. stock futures climbed as the Anthropic-driven technology rally continued, with Nasdaq futures up 0.4% and S&P 500 and Dow futures gaining around 0.25%.
Investors are watching major tech earnings and the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate decision, while Israeli elections and U.S.-Iran tensions remain in focus; Brent crude fell 1% below $115 and Bitcoin slipped under $80,000.
Continued AI optimism could support technology stocks, but earnings scrutiny, geopolitical uncertainty and the Fed's guidance may intensify volatility across markets.
Ripple and BNY have expanded their collaboration, with BNY now supporting custody for XRP and RLUSD as the partnership targets broader institutional use of blockchain-based financial assets.

Expanded institutional custody and potential trade finance applications could support XRP Ledger adoption, though the scale of actual client usage remains to be seen.
Solana drops below $100 as large wallet transfers raise concerns about potential selling pressure, putting SOL under renewed near-term scrutiny.
Three wallets moved approximately 482,228 SOL worth $49.2 million over three days, with about 171,430 SOL deposited to exchanges and the remainder staying off-exchange.
If exchange inflows translate into actual selling, SOL could face further downside toward $97–98 support, with $93–96 as the next lower support zone.
Bitcoin faces renewed downside risk as it trades below $80,000 and its 50-day moving average, while Ripple's approval to launch a U.S. national trust bank has failed to lift XRP.
Bitcoin remains below $80,000 as investor attention shifts toward AI, with venture capitalist Jason Calacanis warning that BTC could revisit $57,000 within the next 12 months.

Further progress toward de-escalation could pressure Brent prices, although ongoing regional conflict risks may limit the downside.
Crude oil fell for a second consecutive session, moving toward $100 a barrel as renewed diplomatic efforts raised hopes of ending the US-Iran war and easing energy-market pressure.
Monday's decline reached 1.5%, while Iran's Supreme Leader signaled a possible opening for negotiations and officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey agreed to continue discussions.
Further diplomatic progress could pressure oil prices, but persistent regional conflict risks may limit the decline.
Bitcoin slipped below $80,000 as a broader sell-off in AI-related stocks triggered risk aversion across markets, with BTC briefly hitting around $79,300 before recovering toward $80,000-$80,300.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $772.4 million in net outflows over October 23-24, while Bitcoin and Ether liquidations topped $400 million in a short window.
Continued ETF outflows and the October 27-28 Fed meeting could pressure Bitcoin further if risk aversion persists.
Global markets are bracing for the Federal Reserve's policy decision and major technology earnings, with cryptocurrencies mostly declining as Bitcoin fell 0.98% to $79,488.78.

Circle shares fell more than 1% after ACI Worldwide announced a pilot to integrate USDC settlement into payment systems used by Colombian banks.
The collaboration combines ACI Connetic with Circle’s USDC infrastructure, while Circle shares also face attention ahead of its November 4 earnings report.
The pilot could support broader institutional use of USDC in payments, but its commercial impact remains uncertain as the initiative develops.
Egypt aims to increase locally procured wheat by 20% in the upcoming season as part of its push toward wheat self-sufficiency by 2030.
The target signals an effort to strengthen domestic wheat sourcing, though the announcement does not specify procurement volumes or implementation details.
If achieved, the increase could support Egypt's domestic food-supply resilience and potentially reduce reliance on imported wheat over time.
Japan's yen-backed JPYC stablecoin has reached only about 3.2 billion yen in circulation, roughly one-quarter of its issuer's target, despite multiple corporate partnerships.
CEO Noritaka Okabe cited Japan's issuance limits as a barrier to adoption, while JPYC's circulation fell back after briefly exceeding 4.2 billion yen following an Upbit listing.
JPYC's goal of reaching tens of billions of yen in circulation in its second year could depend on easing adoption constraints and converting partnerships into sustained demand.
Bitcoin fell below $80,000 on Tuesday as crypto markets weakened despite a rally in Asian technology stocks, with BTC trading near $79,700.
Ether slipped 0.5%, the DeFi index dropped 1.8%, and Bitcoin options showed continued demand for downside protection, even as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $110 million on Monday.

ICE reported record open interest in TTF natural gas options, surpassing 3 million contracts on October 23, 2026, as market participants increasingly hedge natural gas price risk.
TTF futures and options open interest also reached a record 5.9 million contracts, up 16% year-over-year, while options open interest climbed 33% and ICE's global natural gas portfolio grew 9%.
Rising derivatives participation could deepen liquidity and expand risk-management activity across global natural gas markets as regional supply and demand become more interconnected.
Binance says it blocked multiple North Korea-linked cyberattacks over the past week, reporting no damage to its systems or loss of assets.
The exchange warned that attackers are using fake job interviews, coding tests, and malicious software requests in the ongoing “Contagious Interview” campaign.
Continued attacks could intensify cybersecurity risks across crypto platforms, making stronger threat detection and user vigilance increasingly important.
US stock futures rose on Tuesday as crude oil prices extended their decline, with investors awaiting the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision and major corporate earnings.
Asian naphtha prices extended their rally alongside Brent crude as renewed Gulf attacks heightened concerns over disrupted energy supplies.
First-half December naphtha cargo prices rose $18 to $1,090.50 per metric ton, while the December-January price spread remained steep at $42 per ton.
Further attacks or prolonged supply disruptions could push naphtha and crude-linked fuel prices higher, although developments in regional diplomacy may influence the outlook.
Bangladesh has approved the purchase of six spot LNG cargoes from BP Singapore and QatarEnergy Trading to offset supply shortfalls from Qatar amid disruptions linked to the US-Israeli conflict.
Five cargoes will be purchased from BP Singapore at a price of $0.17 per million British thermal units below the Japan Korea Marker index, while the sixth will come from QatarEnergy Trading.
The purchases could intensify competition for spot LNG supplies and keep regional gas prices sensitive to further disruptions in global energy flows.
Corning reported third-quarter core sales of $5.08 billion, above the $5.02 billion market estimate. Core earnings per share were $0.91, compared with an estimated $0.89.
For the fourth quarter, Corning forecast core EPS of $0.96 to $1.00, above the $0.93 estimate. It projected core sales of $5.2 billion to $5.3 billion, versus a $5.2 billion estimate.
Corning shares were up about 3% in U.S. premarket trading. The results and outlook put focus on whether demand remains sustained across the company’s end markets and whether the premarket move holds after the open.
China has received the first shipment of crude oil from Russia's newly launched Arctic Vostok Oil project, marking a new step in the project's commercial exports.
The Aframax tanker Vladimir Monomakh delivered the cargo to Yantai in Shandong, while Rosneft began commercial exports last month after loading 250,000 metric tons of crude, equivalent to about 1.8 million barrels.
Further shipments could strengthen Russia's long-term oil supply to China and intensify competition in global crude markets, although the buyer of this cargo remains unknown.
India's diesel exports are set to surge from 2027 as state-run refiners expand production capacity, strengthening the country's role as a major global fuel supplier.
Indian state refiners plan to add 16.5 million tonnes of annual diesel production capacity in 2027, while the country targets total refining capacity of 300 million tonnes per year by 2030.
The expansion could increase global diesel supply and intensify competition among fuel exporters, although geopolitical disruptions may continue to constrain refined-product markets.
Copper climbed 0.7% to $14,421.50 per metric ton as recovering AI stock sentiment, stronger Chinese demand, and constrained supply supported prices.
China's Yangshan copper import premium hit a nearly 13-year high of $178 per ton, while Shanghai copper inventories fell more than 25% to 54,356 tons.
Persistent supply tightness and AI infrastructure expansion could support further gains, although a stronger dollar, rising oil prices, and price-sensitive demand may limit upside.
Ark Invest bought $5.2 million in Circle shares while selling $15.9 million of its own spot Bitcoin ETF holdings as BTC extended its pullback from October highs.
Bitcoin traded around $79,625, down 8.7% from its October peak near $87,200, while put options accounted for 91% of roughly $32 million in Bitcoin options traded at the $80,000 strike over the past week.
Continued downside positioning and macroeconomic uncertainty ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision could keep pressure on Bitcoin, although Ark's sales may also reflect portfolio rebalancing.
Mexico's heavy reliance on cheap US natural gas could leave its economy vulnerable as expanding LNG exports and rising domestic demand threaten to push North American gas prices higher.
Natural gas accounts for roughly 46% of Mexico's total energy supply, while US LNG exports are projected to rise from around 15 billion cubic feet per day in 2025 to 27 billion by 2040.
If gas prices rise as supply growth slows, Mexico could face higher electricity costs and industrial expenses, increasing pressure to diversify its energy mix.
Microsoft Research says its Magnetar system makes zero-knowledge proofs of ordinary program execution 10 to 39 times faster on average than certain comparable proving systems, potentially reducing a key cost barrier for blockchain applications.
The system supports code compiled from Rust, Go and C, verifies proofs in roughly 12 milliseconds in Microsoft's tests, and relies on standard hash-based cryptography.
If the performance gains translate to production environments, Magnetar could lower proof-generation costs and expand the use of verifiable offchain computation, though real-world benefits remain unproven.
Jason Calacanis urged investors to sell Bitcoin and rotate into AI, predicting BTC could revisit $57,000 within 12 months and claiming it will never reach another all-time high.
His bearish thesis cites Bitcoin ETF outflows, although the article notes flows have been mixed and reports a $110 million inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs; Calacanis says he remains invested in Bittensor's TAO token.
If ETF outflows persist and capital shifts toward AI-linked assets, Bitcoin could face further downside pressure, but the mixed flow data challenges his bearish case.
Oil prices rebounded Tuesday as renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia overshadowed diplomatic efforts to ease Middle East tensions, with regional supply risks supporting crude prices.
December Brent futures gained 0.6% to $116.54 a barrel, while WTI rose 0.7% to $102.45; Oman also reported an outline for a temporary Strait of Hormuz navigation arrangement, though political obstacles remain.
Further regional escalation could push oil prices higher, while progress toward restoring safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could ease supply concerns.

MEXC and blockchain security firm Hacken have launched an AI Trading Safety Handbook to promote safer adoption of AI-assisted and automated trading across the digital asset industry.
The guide outlines safeguards against credential exposure, excessive permissions, manipulated data and unintended trade execution, while MEXC's 2026 survey found willingness to use automated trading increased from 55% to 71.8% when financial and risk limits were introduced.
As AI becomes more integrated into trading, stronger independent controls and continuous security testing could boost user confidence while reducing risks from automated execution.

Europe's economy faces lasting damage from the U.S.-Iran energy shock, with higher energy costs already leaving GDP 0.5% below where it would otherwise have been, according to BlackRock strategists.
The strategists see rising demand for protective energy infrastructure and attractive opportunities in U.S. and European utility stocks, while weakening economic buffers leave Europe particularly exposed.
Persistent energy-cost pressures could weigh on European growth while boosting investment in energy infrastructure and utilities as markets seek greater resilience against future supply shocks.
AI and chip stocks rallied as investors treated Anthropic's IPO filing and Meta's additional equity-raising plans as signs of confidence in the AI boom rather than a wave of new share supply.
The rally steadied technology markets ahead of major hyperscaler earnings, while Anthropic's prospectus highlighted slowing revenue growth, losses, customer concentration and spending plans exceeding half a trillion dollars.

The application was filed through its local entity BBrasil on October 23, ahead of the October 30 deadline, with restrictions taking effect October 27 across products including crypto loans and margin trading.
The regulatory changes could reduce access to certain crypto products for Brazilian users, while the licensing process may help Binance maintain operations under Brazil's evolving rules.

Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe proposed ending automatic funding for Zcash Community Grants, arguing the program already holds enough resources to support projects without further block subsidy allocations.
The draft proposal would redirect the program's 8% share of Zcash's block subsidy to the Network Sustainability Mechanism through the current funding period's end in 2028, while leaving existing grant funds untouched; ZCG's ZEC holdings alone were valued at about $111 million.
If adopted, the change could reduce new grant allocations while directing more ZEC toward a reserve designed to keep tokens out of circulation and gradually reissue them through future block rewards.
U.S.-Canada negotiations over potential steel and auto tariff relief, Meta's expanded $37.5 billion capital raise, and Apple's reported foldable iPhone display issues are among the key developments facing markets this week.
