BITCOIN-ACCUMULATING ETFs EXPECTED TO LAUNCH SOON<br/><br/>ETF analyst Nate Geraci says Franklin Templeton&#39;s two new Bitcoin DRIP ETFs, $FBEQ and $FIBT, are nearing launch, with SEC filings listing an October 27 effective date.<br/><br/>The funds introduce a new approach to Bitcoin accumulation by automatically reinvesting dividends from US stocks into Bitcoin exposure rather than distributing that income to investors.<br/><br/>Both target roughly 95% exposure to U.S. equities and 5% to Bitcoin:<br/><br/>- $FBEQ: Tracks a large-cap U.S. stock index covering approximately 500 companies, with a 0.09% annual management fee.<br/><br/>- $FIBT: Tracks an innovation-focused index of 100 U.S. companies, with a 0.19% annual management fee.<br/><br/>The strategy systematically converts stock dividends into additional Bitcoin exposure while maintaining Bitcoin as a secondary portfolio allocation.<br/><br/>Rather than requiring investors to sell stocks or contribute new capital to accumulate Bitcoin, the ETFs effectively turn corporate dividends into a recurring source of Bitcoin demand.<br/><br/>The October 27 date marks the planned effectiveness of the registration, not necessarily the first day of trading.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/3cd49515e44e39a417f383aa3b67e60d285ffdcd226d03ef878d64e693fad830.jpg"> 2026-10-27T00:13:00Z

VERGE OF COLLAPSE AS AI-POWERED CYBERATTACKS ESCALATE<br/><br/>GMO Internet has confirmed that hackers breached its Onamae Desktop Cloud service, stole customer information, and potentially compromised trading accounts.<br/><br/>Some customers have reported unauthorized financial transactions, while attackers are threatening further attacks involving accounts at more than 70 securities and FX firms.<br/><br/>The company is now seeking government intervention and promising compensation for verified trading losses.<br/><br/>Separately, GMO’s cybersecurity division identified the misuse of ARTEX, an autonomous AI penetration-testing tool, in attacks targeting approximately 20 Japanese companies.<br/><br/>GMO warns that AI has dramatically lowered the cost of cyberattacks, allowing attackers to discover vulnerabilities and launch intrusions with minimal human involvement.<br/><br/>The company describes the emerging threat as “AI cyber saturation attacks,” where automated attacks overwhelm defenders’ ability to respond.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/3ce049764b647ca7ae02aa4a9408c590cbe6e3b8a68b467bee62d4d49374d756.jpg"> 2026-10-26T01:10:34Z

REPEAT<br/><br/>Bitcoin&#39;s last three bear-market lows came about 71, 38 and 13 days after the 2014, 2018 and 2022 US midterms, CoinDesk reports.<br/><br/>This year&#39;s low of $57,850 came on July 1, about 125 days before the Nov. 3 vote. <br/><br/>By Oct. 22, Bitcoin had recovered about 40%, to roughly $81,455.<br/><br/>CoinDesk says Bitcoin&#39;s midterm weakness looks tied more to its own market cycles than to elections.<br/><br/>If the July low holds, traders waiting for a post-election bottom have already missed a 40% rebound.

WITHIN WEEKS<br/><br/>Deutsche Bank is preparing to launch its first institutional Bitcoin custody service within the next several weeks, according to comments from a senior executive published by Reuters.<br/><br/>Gerald Podobnik, co-head of the bank’s corporate banking division, confirmed that the service will initially launch in Germany before expanding into major Asian financial centers in 2027.<br/><br/>The platform will allow institutional and corporate clients to custody Bitcoin and other supported digital assets directly through Deutsche Bank.<br/><br/>Unlike self-custody solutions, the bank will manage clients’ private keys using dedicated security hardware, segregated storage and multiple layers of transaction authorization.<br/><br/>Deutsche Bank first announced the initiative in September, but has now confirmed that its launch is only weeks away, subject to the remaining regulatory process.<br/><br/> <img

TREASURY COMPANIES FROM ITS GLOBAL EQUITY INDEXES<br/><br/>MSCI is advancing a proposed methodology that could remove Michael Saylor’s Strategy ($MSTR), Japan’s Metaplanet, and other digital asset treasury companies from its Global Investable Market Indexes.<br/><br/>The proposed framework would classify companies primarily engaged in accumulating financial assets as “non-operating,” making them ineligible for inclusion in major equity benchmarks.<br/><br/>The potential consequences are significant:<br/><br/>- JPMorgan estimates $2.8 billion in forced selling of MSTR shares by passive funds tracking MSCI indexes.<br/><br/>- Broader outflows could reach $8.8 billion if other index providers adopt similar rules.<br/><br/>- Strategy’s counter-analysis suggests MSCI-tracking funds hold

reversed its decision to blacklist four THORChain USDT vaults on the Tron blockchain, approximately three hours after freezing $1.45 million in assets.<br/><br/>The affected vaults reportedly held 93% of THORChain’s Tron-based USDT liquidity, forcing the protocol to suspend trading, transaction signing and liquidity-provider operations.<br/><br/>THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford said the protocol received no warning or explanation from Tether before the freeze.<br/><br/>The four addresses were subsequently removed from the blacklist, allowing Tron trading and related operations to resume.<br/><br/>However, 19 other addresses reportedly blacklisted during the same operation remained frozen.<br/><br/>The incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of Tether’s ability to freeze assets across decentralized financial infrastructure.<br/><br/>THORChain facilitates native Bitcoin swaps without requiring users to wrap BTC or transfer custody to a centralized exchange.<br/><br/>While THORChain’s validators collectively control its vaults, they cannot override restrictions imposed by centralized token issuers.<br/><br/>The reason for Tether’s initial action remains unclear.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/273ba1b2e5f17f98e3646e2cdc7d4ba5ca2da3345a7f7290037f6d92eb9463f3.jpg"> 2026-10-11T02:10:49Z

Jiaming, whose registered address is in China’s Heilongjiang province, listed as holding 100% of the company’s shares as of August 3.<br/><br/>The company’s former co-founder has now confirmed that CryptoBilis was acquired in March, when the original owners stepped down from all operational, managerial, and administrative roles.<br/><br/>According to the statement, the founders have had no operational visibility since the handover, although they continued assisting with event coordination.<br/><br/>“We are no longer part of the company,” the former co-founder stated, urging current management to resolve the situation transparently.<br/><br/>The revelation comes amid an investigation into a suspected Ledger hardware wallet supply chain attack involving devices modified with

the Bitcoin price is fixed when the purchase is made rather than changing with each monthly payment.<br/><br/>The company says:<br/><br/>• Payments are spread across 60 fixed monthly installments<br/>• Bitcoin is held in trust until fully paid<br/>• BitGo provides custody<br/>• There are no margin calls or forced liquidations from BTC price declines<br/>• A U.S.-wide rollout is

full on September 21 and ended the $200M Bitcoin-backed line.<br/><br/>A Friday SEC filing says it paid principal and accrued interest with no early-termination fee, and Coinbase&#39;s remaining commitment closed with it.<br/><br/>The loan carried 6.15% after an April amendment, about $12.3 million a year on a full $200M draw.<br/><br/>As of June 30, Riot had pledged 5,821 Bitcoin, then worth about $340.7M, or roughly 51% of its 11,380 BTC.<br/><br/>Those security interests were released with the repayment.<br/><br/> <img

its creator revenue-sharing program.<br/><br/>The lawsuit names @Vivek4real_, @Bitcoin_Teddy, @saylordocs, @TrendingBitcoin, @Kalshibacktest and @PolyBackTest among the accounts allegedly operated as a coordinated network.<br/><br/>X claims the accounts repeatedly liked, reposted and engaged with one another, published identical or near-identical content, and used a web of financial accounts to conceal their connections.<br/><br/>The company alleges @Vivek4real_ was also used to offer paid engagement-manipulation services to third parties and solicit additional high-follower accounts into
