The outsized gain could attract speculative interest in KIMCHI, though the trader's remaining holdings leave open the possibility of further selling pressure.
Variational is developing Variational Pro, a platform targeting institutional over-the-counter derivatives across options, interest rates, foreign exchange and structured products.

Brent and WTI crude oil rose 0.78% as escalating Middle East supply risks, tanker attacks and threats to Saudi energy infrastructure heightened concerns over potential disruptions.
Brent climbed to $109.64 per barrel and WTI reached $98.58, with at least 18 vessel attacks reported over two weeks and Houthi claims of attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities.
Further escalation around key shipping routes and oil infrastructure could push crude prices higher, while mediation efforts and increased fuel production could temper supply concerns.
Solana faces renewed downside risk after a roughly 15% pullback from its late-September high, with a potential bearish chart pattern pointing to $80 if support breaks.
SOL trades near $106 as spot ETF flows reverse to roughly 40,000 SOL in daily net outflows on a 7-day average, while tokenized real-world assets on Solana total about $4.4 billion.
A daily close below $100 could reinforce bearish momentum toward $80, while a breakout above $130 could invalidate the bearish setup and reopen the path toward $215–$220.

China drew on crude oil stockpiles for the fourth time in five months in September, but recovering imports could bring inventory withdrawals to an end in October.
September refinery processing reached 13.99 million barrels per day, exceeding available crude supply by 530,000 bpd, while October imports are expected to surpass 10 million bpd.
Rising Chinese imports and rebuilding onshore inventories could support global oil demand and limit further stockpile drawdowns, potentially easing supply concerns.
Injective has signed an MOU with BDACS to integrate KRW1, a fully won-backed stablecoin, as a settlement asset for tokenized real-world assets and onchain markets.
The initiative targets Korean won-denominated settlement on Injective, with implementation dependent on regulatory progress in South Korea.
The partnership could expand Injective's institutional tokenization use cases, but meaningful adoption may depend on regulatory clearance and live market deployment.
Injective has partnered with BDACS to integrate KRW1, Korea's first fully won-backed stablecoin, into its ecosystem for real-world asset tokenization and onchain settlement. The MOU targets direct Korean won-denominated trading and settlement for tokenized assets, while institutional minting and redemption remain subject to regulatory approval.
The collaboration aims to reduce reliance on dollar stablecoins for Korean onchain markets, against a backdrop of approximately 14.9 trillion won in net stablecoin outflows from Korea's five major exchanges since January 2025.
The integration could strengthen Injective's position in institutional tokenization and expand demand for won-denominated onchain financial products as Korean regulation develops.

SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to evaluate a potential merger, according to Elon Musk during SpaceX’s quarterly earnings webcast. SpaceX is valued at about $2 trillion and Tesla’s market capitalization is close to $1.5 trillion, putting the combined enterprise value at roughly $3.5 trillion if a deal were completed.
SpaceX shares rose 4.6% in after-hours trading following the earnings release, while Tesla shares gained 1.2%. Musk said he sees value in combining the companies through development of superintelligence software alongside chips, robots, autonomous vehicles, storage and satellite internet.
The process remains preliminary. Musk said he will not participate in the committee discussions because he leads both companies and faces a conflict of interest. The committees have not agreed on transaction terms.
Shareholder approval is a key hurdle: Tesla would need support representing 50% of all shares, rather than a simple majority of shares cast. Musk also said it is an overstatement to treat a SpaceX-Tesla merger as certain.
A new research framework highlights a major blind spot in algorithmic crypto trading: rejected trade signals may contain critical information that conventional performance tracking misses.
Post-Rejection Follow-up Sampling (PRFS) analyzed approximately 67,000 forward observations across 2,997 rejection events involving 457 unique token mints, while the RED-2400 benchmark aims to make rejected trading decisions measurable.
Systematic tracking of rejected signals could improve strategy evaluation, expose selection bias and help developers avoid deploying strategies whose apparent profitability fails under more realistic conditions.
Persian Gulf oil exports have climbed above prewar levels as U.S.-protected shipping operations and alternative pipeline routes keep crude moving despite intensifying Iranian attacks.

Japan's Nikkei may rebound as investors look for buying opportunities after the benchmark index fell to its lowest closing level in more than a month.
Nikkei futures opened 885 points higher at 65,305 on the SGX, following Tuesday's 1.3% decline to 64,075.42, while U.S. stocks settled mostly higher overnight.
Renewed dip-buying interest and resilient U.S. equities could support a near-term Nikkei recovery, although the rebound remains uncertain.
Qubic has restarted its blockchain and opened a recovery claims process after a wallet seed vulnerability enabled attackers to steal approximately $1.4 million in QU tokens from 1,404 accounts.
The network resumed processing on October 19, and validators approved a recovery plan allowing affected users to submit claims by May 1, 2027, while the project says vulnerable wallet software has been fixed.
The recovery process could help restore confidence, but the security breach and need for affected users to migrate funds may continue to pressure sentiment around QU.
Japan's Nikkei 225 could stabilize on Wednesday after two consecutive losing sessions erased nearly 1,300 points, leaving the index just above 64,075.
The index plunged 841.28 points, or 1.30%, on Tuesday as technology, financial and automobile shares declined, while falling oil prices and a cautiously optimistic Wall Street outlook offered potential support.
Expected mild upside across Asian markets could help the Nikkei recover, although September trade data and continued sector weakness may influence the next move.
Grvt plans to launch Stable Funding Perps in November 2026, bringing stocks, foreign exchange, commodities, and indices onchain with liquidity sourced directly from traditional markets. The perpetual contracts will charge funding once daily, introducing a different funding schedule for traders accessing these markets through Grvt.
The launch remains planned rather than confirmed as completed, and the expanded trading offering could increase activity on the platform. The article identifies potential indirect support for the GRVT token but provides no quantified impact.
If adoption grows, Stable Funding Perps could boost platform activity and indirectly support GRVT demand, although the token impact remains uncertain.
Stellar validators are scheduled to vote on the proposed Protocol 30 Bell mainnet upgrade on November 23, 2026, with activation contingent on approval. The upgrade would introduce muxed smart contract addresses for business-scale smart accounts, post-quantum signature support, and millisecond-level ledger timing, without directly changing XLM token economics.
The vote remains a pending decision, and the proposed technical improvements are not yet confirmed for activation. No direct change to XLM's token economics is specified.
If approved, Bell could strengthen Stellar's enterprise capabilities and technical infrastructure, potentially supporting long-term network adoption without directly altering XLM's tokenomics.

Bitcoin is up 1% to $82,785 as signs emerge that its correlation with traditional equities may be returning after recent divergence. The 10-day correlation with the Dow is close to turning positive, while the S&P 500 correlation is already slightly positive, though still relatively weak; Ethereum, XRP and Solana also posted gains.
StoneX analyst Julian Pineda cautions that Bitcoin may be tracking stocks partly because of a lack of major economic data this week. Ethereum gained 2.2% to $2,450, XRP rose 2.3% to $1.33, and Solana advanced 2.2% to $106.70.
If the correlation strengthens, Bitcoin could become more sensitive to movements in traditional equity markets, potentially increasing cross-market spillover risks.

Corn basis bids were steady to higher across the US Midwest, while soybean bids remained unchanged as grain futures fell under harvest pressure.
Corn harvest reached 44% completion, trailing the five-year average of 52% and analyst expectations of 49%, while soybean harvest reached 64%, slightly below its five-year average of 65%.
Continued dry weather and ongoing harvest progress could keep pressure on corn and soybean futures despite localized strength in cash corn bids.
U.S. crude oil stockpiles fell 4.93 million barrels last week, marking another significant draw in domestic inventories, according to the API.
Gasoline inventories dropped 2 million barrels and distillate stocks declined 2.6 million barrels, while Cushing inventories increased by 936,000 barrels; WTI crude recently traded at $101.79 per barrel, unchanged from Tuesday's settlement.
If confirmed by the EIA's upcoming report, the larger-than-expected crude draw could support oil prices, although rising Cushing inventories may temper the bullish signal.
Oil markets face conflicting signals as Middle East mediation continues while U.S. crude and fuel inventories decline, raising concerns about supply and inflation.
U.S. crude stocks fell 4.9 million barrels, gasoline inventories dropped nearly 2 million barrels, and Brent settled down 0.69% at $108.79 per barrel.
Persistent inventory declines and diesel shortages could intensify fuel-price pressures, while diplomatic progress may help ease supply concerns.
U.S. stocks mostly advanced as easing oil prices and Treasury yields supported sentiment, while French equities declined amid persistent political unrest.
The Dow gained 1.02% and the S&P 500 rose 0.28%, while the Nasdaq slipped 0.02%; Brent crude fell 0.69% to $108.79 as the 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.121%.

SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) expects Q1 2027 sales of $33.000 billion to $37.000 billion, versus an analyst estimate of $22.171 billion. The forecast range exceeds the cited consensus estimate and provides a new revenue outlook for the company. The directly affected listed asset in the supplied context is SPCXSTOCK.
Elon Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed committees to explore a merger, calling the potential deal “a good idea.” No transaction is certain: shareholder approval and merger terms remain unresolved. The possible combination of Musk’s space and electric-vehicle companies is under review, with further details dependent on committee work and any future agreement.
Green coffee inventories in Japan and Europe fell to multi-year seasonal lows in August, highlighting tightening supply across two major consuming markets.
Japan's stocks dropped 12.4% year-on-year to 1.99 million bags, while European inventories fell 16.8% to 7.14 million bags; natural arabica stocks plunged 25.6% year-on-year.
