Finance giant Morgan Stanley recommends a “conservative” crypto allocation to its clients — analysts suggest allocating up to 4% of crypto assets in “opportunistic growth” portfolios, designed for a higher level of risk and potentially greater returns.

The Ethereum staking withdrawal queue has exceeded $10 billion (2.4 million ETH).

Due to the sharp increase in withdrawal requests, the waiting time for fund release has surpassed 41 days.

Jim Cramer’s signal worked again!

Two weeks ago, Jim Cramer advised buying crypto — and as a result, the crypto market experienced one of the biggest crashes in history.

For reference, the analyst is famous for his reverse predictions.

A $200,000 donation (30,644 BNB) made by Binance in 2018 to a Maltese cancer aid foundation has grown to $37 million over the years — but remains unused due to a dispute between the exchange and the local charity over recipient verification.

Binance insists on verifying patient data to transfer the funds directly, while the foundation refuses to share patients’ personal information.

As a result, the donation made back in 2018 has turned into a sizable fortune — yet the aid has still not reached those in need.

BlackRock is developing its own technology for asset tokenization – Larry Fink.

BlackRock's balance sheet holds over $4.5 trillion in cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. The market is projected to continue its rapid growth.

Solana has discontinued support for the Saga smartphone two years after its release

🔘Solana Mobile has announced the end of the life cycle for its first smartphone, the Saga. The device will no longer receive firmware updates or security patches. Technical support has also been terminated; users will only have access to answers to general questions.

🔘The Saga smartphone was released in 2023 but initially failed to generate interest. Developers even considered shutting down the project. However, the situation was turned around by the built-in crypto wallet, which came with free tokens on the Solana network, including the memecoin BONK. At the end of 2023, its price increased nearly 100-fold, which sharply boosted demand for the device.

🔘Following this, the Saga smartphones sold out within days, and were resold on the secondary market for between $2,000 and $5,000. Some unopened devices can still be found for sale today.

In 2024, the company introduced the next-generation Solana Seeker smartphone and began its first deliveries in August 2025.

The paid messaging platform ReachMe on BNB Chain, through which CZ once accepted personal messages for 1 BNB, has announced it is shutting down.

The experiment with "monetized communication" failed to gain a foothold in the market.

JPMorgan Estimates the Market Cap of a Potential Base Token at $34,000,000,000
The American bank sees the potential launch of a token as a new source of monetization for Coinbase.

Details:

• The token's potential market cap is $12–34 billion.
• Coinbase's share could be up to 40% of the total issuance (equivalent to $4–12 billion in equity value).
• The stock price target has been raised to $404 (currently ~$355).
• Rating: "Overweight" – a positive outlook.

Why it matters:

• Coinbase is increasing its focus on the Base ecosystem and the yield from the stablecoin #USDC.
• JPMorgan believes that tokenizing the network would allow it to "capitalize on the success" of the project, which has already surpassed $5 billion in TVL and 9 million daily transactions.

Furthermore, Coinbase may change the USDC interest accrual system, making it available only to paid Coinbase One subscribers.

This would allow the company to save approximately $374 million annually, which it currently pays out to all users.

P.S. Coinbase is currently only "exploring the idea" of a Base token – no final plans exist.

The number of transactions and the number of active addresses on the Ethereum network have reached a record high, while gas fees remain near all-time lows.

The public sale of the MEGA token by the MegaETH project has concluded with record-breaking results — over 50,000 participants and more than $1.39 billion in funds raised, making it one of the largest ICOs in the history of crypto projects.

Some investors (amounting to approximately $127 million) agreed to lock up their tokens for one year to receive a larger allocation. Bids priced below $0.0999 have already been rejected, with the remaining bids to be reviewed until November 5th. Currently, on the pre-market, MEGA is trading around $0.42 — more than four times the minimum sale price.

MegaETH is a startup building a second-layer (L2) solution for the Ethereum network with instant transaction finality and a speed of up to 100,000 TPS. In June 2024, Vitalik Buterin and the venture giant Dragonfly Capital invested in the project.

Stablecoin issuer Zerohash has obtained a European MiCA license in the Netherlands.

The “AI Trading Showdown” tournament among AI models has ended — in the end, all models except DeepSeek and QWEN3 MAX ended up in the red.

Interestingly, in the trading tournament, the main loser turned out to be ChatGPT — supposedly the market leader.

This is likely due to the fact that it’s currently the most mainstream neural network used by the masses, and it seems to be getting dumber through the fine-tuning process. Perhaps the issue lies elsewhere, but absolutely all of our colleagues have noticed a decline in response quality over the past few months.

The organizers of the AI tournament explained that the poor results in the first season were to be expected: all six models were given the same prompt with no customization and no memory, which led them to repeat the same mistakes, forget about losses, and engage in overtrading (Gemini made 227 consecutive trades).

The AIs were only allowed to use technical analysis without any news input, which caused the models to ignore fundamental events like Trump’s tariff statements and open “blind” long positions.

At the same time, according to unofficial information, DeepSeek had a built-in quant code with a seven-year trading history — but even that didn’t save it from failure.

The organizers emphasized that the goal was not to make a profit but to demonstrate that “AI without memory is a lottery.” In the second season, the format will be updated — a “Human vs AI” competition is expected, with memory and RLHF added. The prize pool will be $100,000, and the ecosystem will feature the ARENA token (Solana, $790,000 market cap).

JPMorgan has launched JPMCoin — a token that allows users to send and receive money via a public blockchain, enabling payment processing within seconds and around the clock.

The token is aimed at institutional investors and represents U.S. dollar deposits held in the bank.
