According to a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the operator of the sports prediction market Novig, Ludlow Exchange, had its application to block a preliminary injunction regarding the applicability of betting laws in New York State denied.The court determined at the preliminary injunction stage that Novig's sports event contracts do not fall under the definition of swap contracts as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act, allowing New York State to require it to obtain a state betting license or prohibit the relevant contracts from being listed and traded in its market. The ruling document shows that Novig was designated as a contract market by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in June 2026 and began offering sports event contracts to New York customers in August.

According to Bloomberg, some investors in Anthropic have introduced expected shares to new buyers before the IPO pricing. The brokerage firm JonesTrading is representing investors expected to receive a large allocation of shares worth up to $500 million, planning to charge an additional fee of 3% to 5% based on the final IPO issue price.Insiders say that these shares are not subject to lock-up agreements, but buyers must simultaneously obtain approval from both the seller and a bank participating in the IPO. Bloomberg points out that such arrangements allow investment institutions to reduce the risk of certain allocation positions while expanding their own investor base. Jon Jefferies, head of private markets at JonesTrading, did not comment on specific transactions but mentioned that he first saw such arrangements during the SpaceX IPO, and there are currently several similar transactions related to Anthropic being pitched in the market.Additionally, another seller is promoting over $1 billion worth of existing shares in Anthropic through a special purpose vehicle (SPV), with a valuation corresponding to $14 trillion to $16 trillion for the company, and also charging fees. Insiders say that the SPV has a single-layer structure and directly holds Anthropic shares, with the transaction involving issued shares and not relying on the seller's allocation in the IPO. Anthropic's IPO seeks a fully diluted valuation of about $14 trillion, and the company along with some investors aims to raise up to $90.4 billion through the IPO and private placements combined; if this scale is reached, it will exceed SpaceX's base issuance scale of $75 billion. An Anthropic spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The crypto platform Walt announced the launch of an independent application, expanding its business beyond Telegram after operating as Wallet in Telegram for nearly five years. Walt was renamed from Wallet in Telegram on September 28, stating that the product has exceeded the initial wallet functionality. The new application provides users with an independent entry for trading and investing, while the original Telegram product can still be accessed using the same account. Existing users can log in with their Telegram accounts, and new users can register via Telegram, Google, or Apple.According to its official website, Walt offers over 200 cryptocurrencies, more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, as well as perpetual contracts linked to cryptocurrencies, metals, and energy, and provides yield products on assets such as stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum, and Tron. Walt users can transfer cryptocurrencies to other Telegram users for free; on-chain transfers to external wallets require payment of standard blockchain network fees and service charges, for example, sending any amount of USDT on the TON network requires a fee of 1 USDT.Walt CEO Andrew Rogozov stated that Walt initially started as a simple bot for purchasing cryptocurrencies, but has now evolved into a complete investment platform used by tens of millions, having previously built crypto products within Telegram and now opening up to everyone. Prior to the release of this independent application, Walt launched AI-assisted perpetual contract trading through Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude on October 20, which can read real-time perpetual contract prices, analyze positions and risk exposure, and open and close positions. Order execution is set to default to closed, and the agents cannot withdraw or transfer funds.

Santiment stated that in the past two weeks, wallets holding 1 to 10 BTC have accumulated an additional 10,076 BTC, while wallets holding 10 to 100 BTC have added 4,131 BTC, totaling an increase of 14,207 BTC.Santiment pointed out that this type of holding group is usually more patient than small retail wallets, tending to increase their holdings during market panic and reduce exposure after a strong rebound. The agency believes that the inflow of over 14,000 BTC into these wallets during a significant market sell-off is a bullish signal, but it remains to be seen whether this trend can continue. If BTC stabilizes at the $75,000 level and wallets holding 1 to 100 BTC continue to accumulate, regaining $78,000 and $80,000 will further strengthen the judgment of a local bottom formation; however, if the price falls below recent lows and related wallets start to reduce their holdings, this signal will weaken.

Web3 fitness protocol BRT.Fit founder and CEO Kevin Huang recently published an open letter to Yosemite founder Reed Jobs. In the letter, he proposed that in addition to developing treatment methods, establishing systematic behavior change mechanisms to help people develop long-term exercise habits is an important pathway to prevent certain cancers (such as breast cancer and colorectal cancer).Kevin Huang introduced that BRT.Fit integrates wearable devices such as Apple Watch and Oura Ring for real exercise verification, combining behavioral commitments, reward mechanisms, and community accountability to help users maintain exercise habits. He clearly stated in the letter that currently BRT.Fit has not proven to directly reduce cancer incidence, which requires rigorous long-term scientific research, but the project is committed to bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and human behavior transformation.

NeoSoul and Brevis announced a technical collaboration to explore how to protect sensitive data in AI trading.As AI Agents take on more specific trading tasks, users' trading methods, preferences, and related data will also enter the product workflow.

According to Bloomberg, protests against the expansion of data centers continued in multiple locations across Europe on November 7. RTE reported that around 2,000 people participated in a march in Dublin; YLE stated that about 1,300 people gathered in Helsinki, with protests also occurring in several small towns in Finland. Demonstrators in Helsinki marched to Google's office and the location of the parliament. The Stop Dirty Data Centres alliance, composed of local democracy and climate action groups, stated that the action aims to prevent the unchecked expansion of AI data centers.Groups from Scotland, Spain, France, and Denmark participated in the action, calling for a halt to construction until the public can determine through democratic processes how related projects should serve society and the environment. Previously on Friday, hundreds of protesters clashed with police at a Microsoft data center in Amsterdam, resulting in one arrest. As technology companies invest hundreds of billions of dollars in building AI infrastructure, community residents' concerns about land and electricity demands, rising energy costs, and whether the local area can gain economic benefits have intensified. Ireland has become one of Europe's major data center hubs, with official statistics showing that data centers will account for 23% of the country's total electricity consumption by 2025.Finland is also facing large-scale construction. Google announced in September an investment of 13 billion euros, approximately 14.5 billion dollars, to expand existing data centers and build two new facilities, marking its largest investment in Europe to date. According to the Finnish Industrial Federation, data center projects in various stages of planning and construction in Finland are valued at around 80 billion euros. Reports indicate that representatives from Google cleared forest land, stripped topsoil, and built roads before the environmental impact assessment for one project was completed, causing dissatisfaction among local residents. The company responsible for the construction of the project is facing a criminal investigation, and the Finnish government is also advancing legislation to constrain AI expansion. The opposition in Europe echoes recent situations in the United States, where the expansion of data centers has become a significant issue in this week's midterm elections, with some state voters electing local officials who promised to stop or pause related construction.
