More →Wall Street heads into the close of a turbulent week.
Wall Street is heading into the end of a turbulent week, with stocks swinging amid continued selling in chipmakers as investors grow doubtful about the outlook for AI trades. Although most S&P 500 constituents rose, the index as a whole fluctuated. The plunge in chip giants has entered its eighth trading day, the longest losing streak since 2008. CoreWeave shares fell 7.5%, extending a selloff driven by concerns that the massive buildout of AI infrastructure has outpaced companies' ability to earn a return on investment.
Federal Reserve Chair Warsh's remarks reinforce expectations of a pause in rate hikes.
According to CoinWorld news, Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh's remarks reinforced market expectations that interest rates will remain unchanged this month, even as the market remains concerned about the sustainability of the AI investment boom. The S&P 500 was roughly flat on Friday, while the Nasdaq 100 fell 1%. Shares of cloud computing service provider CoreWeave plunged, continuing to weigh on tech stocks. Andrew Tyler, head of global market intelligence at JPMorgan, said concerns about the sustainability of the AI boom are causing continued volatility in related stocks. The pressure facing Wall Street comes from global bond yields hovering near 20-year highs, driving up financing costs and raising concerns about whether AI spending can remain resilient.

Coin World News: A drone attack struck Surgut, a major Russian oil and gas hub. The specific details of the targeted facility remain unclear. An industrial facility in the Surgut region of western Siberia, Russia, was attacked by drones. The region is home to multiple oil and gas facilities. Ruslan Kukharuk, governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, said the attack caused a fire at a facility in the Surgut area. The region is located more than 2,130 kilometers northeast of Moscow. Kukharuk said: "Emergency personnel have arrived at the scene, and experts are assessing the scale and nature of the damage." However, he did not disclose the name of the targeted facility. The attack came after Ukrainian President Zelensky ordered the resumption of strikes on Russian oil refineries. Previously, U.S. President Trump restricted intelligence support to Ukraine, with disagreements between the two sides escalating.

Major Japanese banks test first joint yen stablecoin, where does XRP go from here
Coin World News: Japan's three largest major banks (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Mizuho Bank, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation), together with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and TISI, announced the successful completion of the first joint Japanese yen stablecoin pilot project. The project, supervised by the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA), tested Mitsubishi Corporation's cross-border settlement. The stablecoin was issued as a "trust beneficiary right" and went through the full cycle from issuance to fiat currency redemption without any failures. The commercial launch is planned before the end of the current fiscal year. Although Ripple was not officially mentioned, the test is closely related to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem, as the three banks have a deep history of cooperation with Ripple technology. As early as 2017, the three banks joined the SBI Ripple Asia consortium aimed at implementing RippleNet technology. Recently, the investment arms of Mizuho Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui reached an agreement with Ripple Labs to deploy real-world asset tokenization infrastructure and institutional DeFi solutions based on the XRP Ledger.
ETF fund flows: BTC and ETH net inflow update
BiJie Network data: ETF fund flow update for October 16: Bitcoin (BTC) saw a net inflow of 194 coins (about $15.86 million) over the past day, and a net outflow of 1,643 coins (about $134.56 million) over the past 7 days. Ethereum (ETH) saw a net outflow of 24,792 coins (about $60.84 million) over the past day, and a net outflow of 119,753 coins (about $293.85 million) over the past 7 days.
How would BlackRock's $10 billion Bitcoin ETF inflow affect the market?
Coinpaper reports that BlackRock's $10 billion Bitcoin ETF inflow would not immediately drive Bitcoin's price up. Most ETF shares are first traded on the stock market, and only when demand is strong enough to require the creation of new shares do authorized participants step in and connect ETF demand with actual Bitcoin purchases. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) contains 22.64 Bitcoin per basket, worth about $1.91 million. A genuine $10 billion inflow would require thousands of new creation baskets, rather than a single large purchase. Even with net inflows, buying pressure may be dispersed, and authorized participants may acquire Bitcoin gradually, use over-the-counter liquidity, or deliver cash through the ETF's creation mechanism. This reduces the likelihood of sudden, large swings in Bitcoin's price, but if $10 billion in genuine new demand arrives while sellers are unwilling to sell Bitcoin at current prices, the market typically adjusts upward.
