Box CEO Aaron Levie stated that the significant increase in AI tokens and computing power consumption will come from large-scale autonomous agent clusters operating internally within enterprises, rather than personal assistants. He anticipates that the related tokens and computing power consumption could see an increase of about 100 times.Aaron Levie mentioned that the usage of personal agents will generally be capped per person. Knowledge work is currently limited by the ability of humans to generate, transmit, and produce information; at this stage, most agents are still tasked by humans, compressing about 3 to 5 hours of work into approximately 10 minutes, still constrained by the speed at which humans initiate tasks.He further stated that true significant growth will occur when backend agents are deployed in clusters to execute tasks that are completely decoupled from human initiation. The above remarks were quoted by @MTSlive.

The stablecoin infrastructure platform Interlace announced a joint initiative with multiple industry partners, including OSL, AllScale, Stable, Hetu, Cregis, WIDTH, KEM, and KTX, to launch the white paper titled Stablecoin Payment Infrastructure: From On-Chain Settlement to Real-World Payments. As stablecoins evolve from crypto-native financial instruments into global financial infrastructure, stablecoin payment activity is also growing rapidly. In Q1 2026, stablecoin transaction volume exceeded $28 trillion, while stablecoin B2B payments reached $226 billion in 2025, representing a 733% year-over-year increase. However, as stablecoin payments expand into real-world commercial use cases, the industry still lacks a systematic framework for defining the capabilities covered by stablecoin payment infrastructure and how on-chain assets can be connected with real-world commerce. The white paper will focus on this gap, covering key topics such as stablecoin payment infrastructure, end-to-end costs, compliance and risk management, and enterprise-scale adoption. Drawing on industry data, practical experience, and real-world cases, it will further explore the development path of stablecoin payment infrastructure. The full white paper is expected to be officially released within the next 1-2 months.

According to a report by Daum, while global exchanges are expanding into perpetual contracts, options, and traditional stocks, South Korean local exchanges are still limited to spot trading due to regulatory restrictions. Data from CoinGecko shows that in the second quarter of 2026, the total spot trading volume of the five major Korean won exchanges—Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, DigitalX (formerly Korbit), and GOPAX—was approximately $14.67 billion, a decrease of 33.0% from $21.88 billion in the first quarter.Coinbase completed its integration with the derivatives exchange Deribit this month and plans to launch a unified platform covering spot, derivatives, and stocks; Binance is expanding into precious metals, stocks, and index-related perpetual contracts. Current regulations in South Korea prohibit local institutions from engaging in cryptocurrency derivatives business, and the upcoming virtual asset tax law only covers spot gains, with a lack of clear taxation mechanisms for overseas derivatives gains. The industry is concerned about the loss of competitiveness for local exchanges and tax inequities. South Korean financial regulatory authorities have yet to propose a specific timeline for the introduction of cryptocurrency derivatives trading.

Bitcoin has retreated from around $86,000 at the beginning of October, fluctuating in the range of $81,000 to $84,000 in recent days, while the US dollar has strengthened and US Treasury yields remain high. Cloud, the chief analyst at Huobi HTX, believes that the likelihood of breaking down from the fluctuation range is greater.The ISM services price index rose to 74.0 in September, the highest since July 2022, and the one-year inflation expectation from the University of Michigan rose to 4.7% in October. The rise in price components and inflation expectations indicates that the probability of CPI exceeding expectations this Thursday is not low; if this materializes, the pricing for interest rate hikes at the end of the year will be further strengthened, and the lower bound of $81,000 will be tested first. Only if CPI is below expectations will the breakthrough of the upper bound of $84,000 have sustainability.The recent decline in chip stocks is mainly due to the repricing of AI capital expenditures and hardware profit expectations. The retracement of Bitcoin is smaller, indicating that its pricing is more aligned with macro liquidity, and its correlation with the AI narrative is weakening; however, this divergence is temporary. Once the US dollar and long-term interest rates regain dominance in pricing, the linkage will quickly strengthen, with the CPI announcement on Thursday evening serving as a recent testing window.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, the Commissioner of the National Tax Service of Korea, Lim Kwang-hyun, stated during a National Assembly Finance, Economy, and Planning Committee inspection that the National Tax Service is preparing to announce taxation standards for virtual assets in November.Lim Kwang-hyun pointed out that the taxation standards for transaction types such as airdrops, hard forks, staking, and decentralized finance (DeFi) focus more on the economic substance rather than the form of the transaction, with whether it is a transfer or a loan being the key determining factor. If airdrops and hard forks have the nature of a transfer or loan, they should be considered taxable objects, while some details regarding staking still need to be discussed with the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

According to a report by Wall Street Journal, Paul Tudor Jones, the founder of Tudor Investment, stated on CNBC on Tuesday that 2027 will be very difficult for the stock market. The current supply and demand situation in the U.S. stock market is the worst since 2002, similar to the period just before the burst of the internet bubble in 1999. He plans to short the U.S. stock market for the entire year next year. His reasoning is that the buybacks and mergers and acquisitions that have supported the bull market over the past four years have continued to compress stock supply, but this logic is now reversing: large IPOs like Anthropic and OpenAI are about to come, SpaceX's issuance has just been completed, and many companies will also issue additional financing for AI development.He also listed the U.S. fiscal deficit as another major hidden danger, believing that the likelihood of the market being forced to correct is 60 to 40. Regarding crude oil, he holds a long position, believing that the U.S.-Iran conflict is unlikely to be resolved in the short term, and that oil prices still have a potential increase of 20 to 25 dollars.
