Federal Reserve; Votes Under Scrutiny

The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates steady in the range of 3.75% to 4%.

China Injects $25 Billion into the Stock Market

Chinese state entities are likely to have purchased around 170 billion yuan, equivalent to $25.5 billion, in stocks in October to support the market. The CSI 300 index rose by 0.9% on Wednesday, but analysts have warned that without improvements in corporate profits and domestic demand, government purchases alone are insufficient to create a sustainable upward trend.

U.S. Treasury Seeking New Path for Crypto

Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, has spoken about closer collaboration between the Treasury Department and the SEC and CFTC following the halt of the CLARITY bill's progress.

Google Enters Crypto Custody Security

Google is unveiling a new multi-party computation system to protect institutions' digital assets. This technology divides the private key across multiple separate environments so that possessing one part is insufficient for asset theft. This product is currently in private testing, with commercial release planned for early 2027.

Bitcoin Miners Enter AI Market

Half a Billion Dollars in Bitcoin Transferred to Coinbase Prime

Three anonymous whales transferred a total of 6,168 Bitcoin worth approximately $498.5 million to Coinbase Prime. This transfer may raise the possibility of selling, but due to the institutional nature of the platform, it may have been done solely for custody or portfolio management.

The Arc network, owned by Circle, has surpassed one billion USDC just about six weeks after its launch.
