The founder and CEO of DogeOS, which builds EVM-compatible application layers for Dogecoin, Jordan Jefferson, told The Block that the DogeOS mainnet is "very, very close" to launch, at which point developers will be able to build applications and DeFi functionalities on Dogecoin. He stated that the first version of development has been completed and the audit has also been finished. The current main goal of the team is to push for the launch of the DogeOS mainnet, but no specific launch date has been provided.Jefferson mentioned that prior to this, DOGE holders had limited options beyond buying, holding, transferring, and tipping. DogeOS aims to provide more use cases, potentially including games and other ways to earn Doge. He emphasized that to make Dogecoin "a currency for more people," DeFi infrastructure is essential. Currently, over 100 developers are involved in related projects, and the team is providing support and advancing integration with wallets, exchanges, and other protocols.This progress follows the launch of Dogecoin Labs last month, which brings together developers and products from DogeOS, the Dogecoin Foundation, and House of Doge. Jefferson stated that Dogecoin is too large to rely solely on donations forever, and Dogecoin Labs aims to provide financial support for core developers.

The new version of the "Supported Regional Policy" from the artificial intelligence company Anthropic will take effect on November 12. The new document specifies three categories of prohibited use of Claude, covering individuals, businesses, and users utilizing the model through overseas companies and third-party cloud platforms. As long as a person is in a non-supported region, they cannot use Claude; Americans using it during business trips in mainland China also violate the regulations. Even if a company is registered in the United States, if it is directly or indirectly controlled by individuals or businesses from non-supported regions, employees are similarly restricted, and it is not only those holding more than 50% of shares that will trigger this.The policy covers Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cowork, the official API, as well as Claude models provided by cloud platforms and authorized distributors. Calling the model through cloud platforms like AWS Bedrock does not mean that regional usage restrictions can be bypassed.As early as September 2025, Anthropic had already prohibited overseas companies controlled by businesses from non-supported regions like China from using Claude. This time, the policy clarifies the locations of individuals, the registration locations of businesses, and control relationships more explicitly. The official disclosure indicates that in the first half of 2026, a total of 11.4 million accounts were banned, with 398,000 appeals received, of which 42,000 successfully overturned the original decisions. The data covers various types of violations, not all of which involve regional restrictions. The system will identify risk signals from non-supported regions, unauthorized resale of Claude, and other issues, requiring relevant users to verify their identity; failure to verify will result in account suspension.

Brian Hong announced that he has joined the social trading application fomo, responsible for the Asia-Pacific region. Brian Hong previously publicly identified as the head of growth for consumer blockchain Abstract in the Asia-Pacific region. He stated that many high-quality trading ideas around the world have never left the language in which they were originally written; traders in Seoul and New York can focus on the same asset for months but do not have access to each other's work. Both parties see the same prices, but the ideas behind the trades remain trapped in circles separated by language, local communities, and existing information flows.He wrote that for nearly a decade, he has been connecting products, services, and information between the East and West. Products are now easier to cross borders, but ideas are not; he feels this most acutely in the market, where some ideas with significant upside potential remain confined to a single language and community. He stated that fomo is the first product that makes him feel this situation can change, as it does not require consideration of chains or cross-chain bridges; it faces a single market where information flow shows what people are actually buying. A trade does not need translation; ideas from Seoul can reach New York on their own, with attribution remaining with the originator.Brian Hong expressed that this feeling has not faded, and he agrees with fomo's direction and development team, and will help grow a product he already uses daily. He referred to the Asia-Pacific as the most important region for this matter, but the Asia-Pacific is not a single location; the languages, cultures, and platforms differ. Most of what happens here exists in communities that are not visible to the outside world. Introducing users is only part of the work; a larger part is putting ideas that the world has yet to see onto the same map. He has opened private messages to traders, large players, creators, and chain builders in the region.

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.

According to Coinglass data, the cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index is currently at 31, up 1 point from yesterday. The average over the past 7 days is 32, and the average over the past 30 days is 47.

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. For individual users and platforms, clear data usage boundaries and explicit computational verification methods are important considerations in the design of such products.Brevis is a verifiable computing platform based on zero-knowledge proofs, with related technology supporting the processing of historical data from the supported chain, executing specified computations, and verifying computation results through proofs. This collaborative exploration will combine the practical needs of AI trading to study applicable scenarios for the relevant technology.NeoSoul continues to advance product development around Agentic Trading, refining the AI trading experience for individual users through NeoTrade, and promoting capability openness for platforms and other Agents. The collaboration with Brevis is a progress in NeoSoul's expansion of professional technical cooperation in this direction.NeoSoul's co-founder stated: "In the future, more and more AI Agents will directly participate in financial markets on behalf of individuals and platforms, and financial infrastructure needs to adapt to a new batch of market participants. Protecting trading strategies and computational verification will become crucial issues that restrict the scaling of Agentic Trading. Our collaboration with Brevis aims to provide the necessary technical foundation for the development of this trend."
