CBOT soybean futures closed lower as the ongoing US harvest of a projected record-large crop weighed on prices, with November soybeans settling down 0.38% at $12.19-3/4 per bushel. December soymeal fell 1.91% to $329.30 per ton, while weekly US soybean export sales reached 2.576 million metric tons, within trade expectations, and January soybeans touched their lowest level since August 17. Continued harvest pressure and weakness in soymeal could weigh further on soybean futures, although export demand may help limit downside.

CBOT corn futures ended narrowly mixed as ongoing US harvest pressure offset strength in wheat futures, with December corn settling down 1/2 cent at $4.51-1/4 per bushel after touching its lowest level since July 10.
US corn export sales reached 1,303,900 metric tons for the week ended October 22, while reports of potential Chinese wheat purchases supported wheat prices but no Chinese grain purchases were confirmed.
Corn futures could remain under pressure from harvest progress, although confirmed Chinese grain demand could provide support if purchases materialize.
Intel projected third-quarter data center and AI revenue of $7.32 billion, above the $6.67 billion analyst estimate. However, its fourth-quarter revenue outlook of $15 billion to $16 billion was below the $17.05 billion analyst expectation.
Intel shares fell 20.56% in U.S. after-hours trading following the outlook. AMD and Arm Holdings also declined by about 5% alongside Intel.
The market focus is on the gap between stronger data center and AI revenue expectations and the weaker fourth-quarter revenue forecast, with management comments on demand, product timing and profitability also in focus.

Bitwise Asset Management raised its long-term Bitcoin price projection to $1.6 million by 2036, up from its previous $1.3 million target, in its 2027 capital-market assumptions.
The firm models 34.3% annualized growth, citing potential institutional allocations of 1% to 5% across portfolios it values at approximately $147 trillion, but these allocations are hypothetical rather than committed capital.
The ambitious forecast could strengthen long-term bullish sentiment toward Bitcoin, although actual adoption, institutional demand and continued volatility may prevent the projection from being realized.

Publicly traded companies more than doubled their share of blockchain industry revenue to 16% in 2026 from 7% in 2022, even as total industry revenue is projected to decline 28% year over year to roughly $100 billion.
According to 1kx, Coinbase and Circle generated about $3.3 billion in combined blockchain-related revenue in the first half of 2026, while tokenized real-world assets grew 51% year over year to $39.54 billion.
Growing institutional participation and tokenization could strengthen traditional finance's role in crypto, although declining overall industry revenue may pressure sector growth.

U.S. Treasuries rallied as technology stocks tumbled, with Alphabet plunging 13% after reporting weaker-than-expected third-quarter revenue and negative free cash flow.
The 10-year Treasury yield fell 5.6 basis points to 4.989%, while third-quarter U.S. GDP growth reached 3.4%, exceeding the 3.1% economist forecast.
Continued tech-sector weakness could sustain safe-haven demand for Treasuries, while resilient economic growth and persistent inflation could complicate the outlook for interest rates.
A wallet suspected of being tied to the Polymarket security incident swapped USDC.e and USDC into POL, at one point holding about $2.65 million in POL, according to Arkham data cited by The Block and Decrypt. Polygonscan data shows the address later transferred roughly 28.64 million POL in three transactions.
Cybersecurity firm Hudson Rock said the address was hard-coded as a backup recipient in a script hosted by web performance monitoring service DebugBear that contained wallet-draining code. Polymarket previously said a third-party service provider had been compromised and that affected users would receive full reimbursement.
Decrypt reported this was Polymarket's third security incident this year. Earlier incidents in May and June resulted in losses of about $700,000 and about $3 million, respectively. The on-chain consolidation and subsequent POL transfers keep attention on remaining funds, reimbursements, and third-party supply-chain security.

IWD is outperforming SPY by 4.2 points in October, the widest monthly gap between the value-stock ETF and the S&P 500 ETF since 2001. The move is described as a rotation away from AI-linked leaders, with Alphabet and ServiceNow among the companies leading the shift. The comparison shows a significant October divergence between value stocks and the broader S&P 500 benchmark. No price, volume, flow, or trading-activity figures were provided for Alphabet, ServiceNow, or AI-linked assets.
Wheat futures rose 0.8% after USDA export sales hit a marketing-year high, suggesting recent price declines may have revived demand.
December wheat settled at $6.03 3/4 a bushel, while soybean futures fell 0.4% and corn slipped 0.1% amid continued pressure across grain markets.
Stronger export demand could support a short-term wheat recovery, but persistent selling pressure and uncertainty over the broader grain market could limit further gains.
Chipotle shares rose 9% after the company reported mixed third-quarter results. Comparable sales and traffic improved, while margins and earnings per share missed expectations. Analysts maintained their ratings and called 2027 a “prove-it year,” focusing on whether operational improvements can support profitability.
Oil prices could remain elevated near or above $100 a barrel as Middle East conflict disruptions and tightening supply limit the potential for cheaper crude.
WTI settled at $102 a barrel and Brent above $110, while rising Chinese imports and the approaching end of emergency reserve releases add to supply concerns.
Even if hostilities ease, damaged energy infrastructure, depleted inventories and high tanker freight costs could keep oil prices elevated for an extended period.
Polymarket.com temporarily halted trading after identifying and fixing an issue linked to the breach of one of its third-party service providers. The matter has been referred to law enforcement, according to a post by Polymarket Traders on X.
The platform said all affected users will be fully reimbursed and that it is working to restore service. The provider involved has not been identified, and Polymarket has not disclosed total losses.
Before the announcement, several users reported unauthorized transfers from their accounts. One trader, Car, said about $800,000 was stolen. The incident centers on operational security and the timing of trading restoration rather than a disclosed market-price move.
Stellar is gaining a new real-world payments integration as Movantis adds it as a settlement option for USDC transfers from the United States to El Salvador, expanding the network's potential cross-border payment utility.
Movantis says its existing platform handles more than $60 billion annually across over 200 million transactions, but actual settlement volumes routed through Stellar have not been disclosed.
The integration could support demand for Stellar-based payments and improve USDC settlement utility, although any impact on XLM may remain limited until live transaction volumes and end-to-end cost savings become clear.
Chicago wheat futures rose 0.8% to $6.03¾ per bushel after U.S. export sales reached a marketing-year high, suggesting recent price declines are beginning to attract demand.
The USDA reported wheat export sales of 849,800 metric tons for the 2026/27 marketing year, plus 22,000 tons for 2027/28, while soybean futures fell 0.4% and corn slipped 0.1%.
Stronger export demand could support a recovery in wheat prices, but persistent selling pressure and uncertainty across grain markets may limit the upside.
U.S. Midwest corn and soybean basis bids held steady to higher as harvest progressed, while soybean futures weakened under pressure from the ongoing harvest and falling crude oil prices.
The USDA reported that the U.S. soybean harvest was 79% complete and corn harvest was 60% complete, with weekly net export sales of 2.58 million metric tons for soybeans and 1.30 million tons for corn.
Continued harvest pressure and expectations for a record U.S. soybean crop could weigh further on soybean prices, while export demand may help support grain markets.

WTI crude oil fell 0.77% to $101.99 per barrel as diplomatic efforts to ease the U.S.-Iran crisis raised hopes of de-escalation and reduced immediate supply concerns.
Vice President JD Vance urged Iran to revive negotiations, while Qatar is pushing for a diplomatic framework, but the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to international shipping and the possibility of renewed U.S. strikes persists.
A breakthrough in negotiations could trigger a sharper correction in oil prices, while failed talks and renewed military escalation could drive energy prices significantly higher.
PeckShield said on October 30 that Polymrket's user interface may have been compromised and urged users not to interact with the website.
The warning concerns the platform's frontend rather than any confirmed issue with underlying assets or contracts. A compromised interface can expose users to harmful signatures, token approvals, or phishing attempts. Technical confirmation has not been provided in the supplied report.

Sugar futures rose 0.7% as excess El Niño-linked rains in Brazil threatened production prospects, adding to concerns over tightening global supplies.
Brazilian center-south sugar output fell 27.1% year over year to 1.87 million metric tons in the first half of October, while arabica coffee dropped 0.5% to a one-month low amid improving warehouse supply prospects and a weak Brazilian real.
Further heavy rains in Brazil could support sugar prices, while rising coffee inventories and producer selling may continue to pressure arabica and robusta futures.
US wheat futures rallied as reports of Chinese interest in US supplies and stronger-than-expected export sales lifted prices from a four-month low. USDA reported weekly US wheat export sales of 849,800 metric tons, a marketing-year high, while December wheat rose to $6.05-3/4 per bushel, corn held firm near $4.50, and soybeans fell under harvest pressure.
Potential Chinese purchases remain unconfirmed, while the possibility of short covering could add momentum to wheat's rebound after nine declines in the previous ten sessions. Corn also drew support from potential Chinese demand, although improved Black Sea export prospects could ease global supply concerns.
Wheat and corn could gain further support if Chinese buying materializes and export demand remains strong, while record-sized US soybean harvest expectations may continue to pressure soybeans.
PEPE has remained strong even as most memecoins performed poorly over the past month, according to the supplied source context.
Arkham data cited by the source indicates that Justin Sun has accumulated about 3% of PEPE’s supply recently. The source identifies concentrated on-chain ownership as a factor that may amplify PEPE’s price sensitivity.
The key data point for the market is the reported concentration of roughly 3% of total supply in holdings linked by Arkham data to Sun. The source also flags address holdings and trading volume as areas to watch, noting that concentrated supply can heighten scarcity dynamics while also creating risk of future supply release.
Alphabet's Q3 results highlighted the strength of YouTube's living-room business, which generated more in one quarter than Netflix's full-year advertising forecast, according to the event title.

Pontoro and Archax have launched an Automated Liquidity Pool on Stellar to test rules-based liquidity management for tokenized private-market fund exposure.
The pilot combines liquid money-market assets with less-liquid private investments, using predefined pricing and allocation rules while restricting participation to identity-verified wallets.
The initiative could strengthen institutional tokenization on Stellar, but sustained adoption and the pool's ability to handle redemption pressure remain unproven.
Thailand's Supreme Court has ruled that Bitcoin qualifies as property protected under criminal law, establishing a binding precedent for future crypto theft cases.
The court upheld a 10-year prison sentence in a robbery involving 2.480801 BTC, recognizing Bitcoin's market value, tradability and convertibility to cash while maintaining that it is not legal tender.
The ruling could strengthen legal protections for Bitcoin holders in Thailand and make it harder for defendants to argue that crypto theft falls outside traditional property crime laws.
Request Network has launched its orchestrator dashboard, giving payment platforms a centralized way to onboard merchants and manage stablecoin payment operations.
The dashboard supports branded payment pages, merchant-specific transaction fees and KYT wallet-screening rules, allowing platforms to manage payments across their merchant base.
The launch could expand Request Network's adoption among payment providers by simplifying stablecoin payment management and merchant onboarding.
The Cardano Foundation has joined CMTA to advance standards for tokenized capital markets, strengthening Cardano's engagement with institutional asset-tokenization frameworks.
The move follows the launch of CIP-0113, which CMTA recognized as equivalent to CMTAT, allowing issuers to use it to tokenize certifiable shares.
The collaboration could support broader institutional adoption of Cardano-based tokenization as capital-market standards develop.
USD.AI expects a $106 million financing facility for NexGen Cloud to be funded in December 2026 alongside delivery of GPU hardware, expanding its AI infrastructure financing activity.
The facility will support deployment of 1,728 NVIDIA B300 GPUs in Finland, with 5% of the financing retained in sUSDai; USD.AI has originated $531 million in GPU financings across 20 deals to date.

The reports have shifted focus to spending trends at major technology companies and across the semiconductor market. Micron, Samsung, Microsoft and Alphabet are directly referenced in the event.
Bitcoin fell to around $80,100, while Ethereum and many altcoins also declined. The pullback was linked to weakness in technology stocks and uncertainty over the future path of U.S. interest rates, which weighed on risk appetite.
Bitcoin’s ability to sustain a recovery above $80,000 is identified as a key sentiment gauge. The source also notes that if selling continues, high-beta altcoins could face further losses. U.S. risk assets and rate expectations remain the cited market factors to watch.
Polymarket users are reporting a possible frontend compromise, with allegations that assets are being withdrawn without permission, according to Discord posts cited by AggrNews.
The reports are unverified. The immediate issues to monitor are whether an exploit is confirmed, the scope of any affected wallets, and whether the suspected issue is limited to Polymarket's frontend interface. No official clarification or confirmed loss figure was provided in the source.
The eurozone's Bitcoin Consumer Price Index fell 18.90% month over month in September, meaning the same basket of goods and services required significantly less BTC to purchase. Samara Asset Group's index uses the official eurozone consumer basket priced in Bitcoin, while eurozone HICP inflation accelerated to 3.8% year over year from 3.2% in August. The sharp decline in Bitcoin-denominated consumer prices could strengthen the purchasing-power narrative for BTC holders, although short-term volatility may complicate spending and savings decisions.

The source does not provide the size of the gain, trading volume, a transfer timetable, or timing for any potential index inclusion.
Palladium futures fell below $1,100 an ounce, holding at their lowest level since June 2025 as investment outflows and weakening auto-sector demand weigh on the metal.
The automotive industry accounts for over 80% of palladium demand, while EV adoption, weak vehicle sales and expectations of higher interest rates add pressure; constrained Russian output and a potential plant overhaul extending into 2028 offer some support.
Palladium could remain under pressure if automotive demand weakens further, although supply constraints and stable hybrid-catalyst demand may support a modest recovery in 2027.
U.S. stocks fell as concerns over AI spending pressured technology shares, with the Nasdaq Composite dropping 1.41% despite stronger-than-expected third-quarter economic growth.
Alphabet sold off sharply after reporting substantial AI-related cash spending, while ServiceNow and Fortinet each plunged more than 20% following financial updates; meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields declined and European stocks advanced 0.77%.
Upcoming earnings from Intel and Amazon could intensify scrutiny of AI investment returns and increase pressure on technology stocks if spending concerns persist.
Microsoft and Alphabet presented contrasting market narratives after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged. Microsoft said Azure growth strengthened its outlook, while Alphabet faced pressure from negative free cash flow despite doubling an unspecified metric. The reports highlight how AI-driven growth and concerns over cash generation are shaping investor attention across major technology companies.
KuCoin has immediately suspended all products and services for users in Russia and Belarus, citing legal and regulatory compliance concerns.
The exchange said it would provide an orderly withdrawal process for affected users, while Russia's central bank separately approved NAUFOR as a self-regulatory body for crypto exchanges and custodians.
The move could further restrict crypto trading access in the two countries while accelerating the shift toward tighter regulatory oversight of digital asset services.
Tokenization platform Securitize plans to integrate the Stellar network into its infrastructure for institutional asset managers, expanding options for issuing and managing tokenized financial assets.
The planned integration was announced at Meridian 2026, but no first Stellar-based product, launch date, or asset-level details have been disclosed.
The move could strengthen Stellar's institutional adoption narrative, although meaningful demand for XLM may depend on actual network usage and future product launches.
Soybean futures extended their losses for a fourth consecutive session as traders prepared for the November contract's first notice day and potential physical deliveries.
November soybeans fell 0.3% on the CBOT, while the January contract declined 0.2% as traders prepared to roll or exit positions.

Kotak Institutional Equities has raised its FY2027 crude oil price forecast to $100 per barrel from $90, citing prolonged West Asia supply disruptions and renewed attacks on Saudi infrastructure and oil tankers.
The brokerage reported that Dated Brent averaged $126 per barrel in October up to the report date and raised ONGC's fair value to Rs 360 per share while retaining its Buy rating.
Persisting regional hostilities could keep oil prices elevated, although Kotak expects prices to ease in the second half of FY2027 if supply flows normalise and the conflict does not intensify.
Alphabet reported an $8.7 billion paper loss after the value of its SpaceX shares declined, cutting earnings per share by 55 cents. The valuation change was a major reason Alphabet missed earnings expectations. Further changes in SpaceX's valuation could affect Alphabet's fourth-quarter results.
Polymarket is investigating dozens of newly created wallets that placed unusually well-timed bets on Benjamin Netanyahu retaining power and his Likud party winning the most seats in Israel's election, according to Bloomberg News.
Some accounts reportedly cashed out more than $100,000 combined after exit polls indicated stronger results for Likud than early reports suggested, while other wallets still hold unrealized gains.
The investigation could intensify scrutiny of prediction-market integrity and increase pressure on platforms to address potential insider trading, although the findings remain inconclusive.
