In his article "The Trifecta," Arthur Hayes proposes establishing a compute trading market for AI agents through Flop Network, using the FLOP token as a payment medium, and developing forwards, futures, and perpetual contracts based on spot compute prices. Hayes states that the market currently lacks a unified global benchmark for compute pricing, and existing rental price indices for GPUs, CPUs, and TPUs, along with AI model token pricing data, have limitations. Flop Network plans to calculate compute prices based on the latency, computational workload, and transaction fees of inference tasks, and will form a reference benchmark through an open market.

Broadcom will provide residual value support for the portion equivalent to the senior debt financing amount.
OpenAI announced the release of GPT-6.1 Terra, focusing on enhancements to visual reasoning, computer operation, factual accuracy, and software engineering capabilities. The model is designed for daily office workflows and high-frequency automation tasks, capable of processing technical drawings, completing forms, editing videos, and developing software. In terms of performance, OpenAI reported that GPT-6.1 Terra reduced its factual error rate in internal complex prompt tests from 53.6% (observed in GPT-5.6 Terra at low reasoning intensity) to 16.7%, with the error rate further dropping to 4.3% under highest reasoning intensity. In the Terminal-Bench 4.0 programming benchmark, the model achieved a task completion rate of 50.3% at peak reasoning intensity, surpassing GPT-5.6 Terra's 21.5%.
Odaily reports: Balancer has announced that during an inventory of DAO assets, it discovered over $500,000 in assets and unclaimed rewards left in the protocol by external users and institutions, involving institutions such as Ethena and Gauntlet. Some liquidity assets in Balancer v3 use Vault internal accounting and cannot be displayed properly on block explorers or asset management tools such as DeBank; in addition, some users still have unclaimed rewards after withdrawing liquidity from v2. Balancer has notified the relevant asset owners, and some institutions have begun withdrawals. Previously, the Balancer community approved a proposal to gradually wind down the protocol's operations, and some pools will switch to withdrawal-only mode on October 30.
According to the Osmosis governance page, Proposal No. 1053, titled "End OSMO Inflation Emissions," was approved via vote on October 26, passing with 91.07% support and a 65.38% participation rate. Upon passage, Osmosis will halt new OSMO issuances through inflation emissions. Staking rewards and community pools will cease receiving newly allocated tokens, meaning staking yields will now rely entirely on protocol revenue, including trading fees. Concurrently, the daily release of approximately 30,440 OSMO for developers will also be paused. The remaining ~51.9 million OSMO will remain in the developer vesting module account, requiring a separate governance decision for any future unlocks.

Federal Judge Torres rejected Kalshi's request for a preliminary injunction on July 7; appellate courts are divided, with the Third Circuit supporting Kalshi and the Ninth and Sixth Circuits supporting state regulation.
Odaily Report: The French Ministry of Finance, the Financial Markets Authority (AMF), the Bank of France, and the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) have jointly recommended to the European Commission that crypto platforms and other third parties be allowed to distribute rewards to stablecoin holders when specific conditions are met. The four institutions believe that such rewards should be regulated rather than banned outright.The four institutions proposed that platforms should disclose reward information to holders, must not promise guaranteed returns, and should not market rewards as savings products; regulators should also monitor the impact of rewards on bank deposits. France continues to support banning stablecoin issuers from paying interest, but opposes extending the ban to staking and lending activities.The European Central Bank and EU national central banks, meanwhile, advocate maintaining the ban on stablecoin interest and bringing indirect benefits such as rewards and fee waivers, as well as activities including lending and staking, within the scope of restrictions. The European Commission must submit a review report on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) to EU legislative bodies by June 30, 2027, and may propose amendments. (Bitcoin.com News)

Bitcoin software wallet Electrum released version 4.8.3 on October 24, fixing a critical vulnerability. Malicious servers could exploit this vulnerability to tamper with unconfirmed transactions and redirect user funds to attacker addresses; the vulnerability affects all versions prior to 4.8.3.Attackers could intercept payments broadcast by users through compromised servers and inject fake conflicting transactions displaying zero fees. If users increase the fee on a transaction that appears stuck, the newly signed and broadcast transaction could send funds to the attacker's address. At least one user reported losing funds as a result on October 18.This patch verifies the signatures of the wallet's own inputs before adding unconfirmed transactions to the local record; transactions from external senders whose inputs do not belong to the user's wallet are still not subject to signature verification. Electrum developer SomberNight stated that closing this gap will require additional work. (Decrypt)

According to Cointelegraph, Immunefi CEO Mitchell Amador warned that internet users remain at risk of cyberattacks originating from PHP vulnerabilities, particularly on smaller websites that have been slow to apply the upgrade patches released last Wednesday, which could take weeks to complete the updates. He described it as an orchestrated "vulnerability doomsday," characterized by low costs to discover vulnerabilities and high costs to patch them. Amador advised treating any website requiring a login as potentially compromised over the coming weeks, avoiding password reuse, exercising caution when connecting crypto wallets to sites, and revoking unrecognized token approvals. The PHP Foundation previously acknowledged that resource shortages delayed the fix for a critical security vulnerability first identified in 2024. While PHP developers issued emergency patches for two critical vulnerabilities on the same day, websites must still manually apply the updates. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince noted that millions of exploitation attempts were recorded across the web within 24 hours of the disclosure, with thousands already underway prior to the announcement. W3Techs estimates that PHP supports approximately 69% of websites using known server-side programming languages. The FBI Cyber Division warned that the flaw could allow malicious actors to "remotely execute code within the PHP core, potentially compromising sensitive data and networks."
According to The Block, Galaxy Research stated in a report released on October 26 that the Bitcoin bear market ended in June and that the current moment presents an attractive opportunity to buy and hold. The report notes that as of October 18, Bitcoin had closed above its 50-week moving average for five consecutive weeks, breaking a prior streak of 44 consecutive weeks below the level. Meanwhile, the monthly average volume transacted from long-term holding wallets dropped from 67,000 BTC in 2024 to 34,000 BTC in 2026. Galaxy’s head of research, Alex Thorn, cautioned that this bullish thesis would face challenges if Bitcoin records a weekly close below the $76,540 50-week moving average and fails to reclaim it within a month.
According to Cointelegraph, Bernstein analysts stated in predictions shared with Cointelegraph on Monday that by 2028, prediction markets could generate up to $1.7 billion in revenue for Robinhood, surpassing the projected $1.6 billion from its crypto business that same year.

Canada's Department of Finance has launched a 60-day public consultation on its stablecoin regulatory draft, with a deadline of December 23. The draft continues to prohibit issuers from paying interest to holders directly or through third parties, but allows rewards tied to transaction activity; non-bank issuers must back circulating fiat-pegged stablecoins 1:1 with equivalent reserve assets and hold reserves with eligible Canadian financial institutions. User redemptions should be completed within 3 business days, with fees not exceeding 1%; the related framework is expected to take effect around the end of 2027.
