The Standard Chartered and Animoca Brands joint venture previously targeted retail access as early as the end of 2026, but its CEO declined to reaffirm that timeline. Standard Chartered-backed stablecoin venture Anchorpoint says it will take a cautious approach to opening its Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin to retail users, declining to confirm a launch date after rival HSBC rolled out RedCoin, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/cryptocurrency/article/3372060/standard-chartered-led-anchorpoint-plans-retail-stablecoin-hsbc-redcoin-launches" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>according</a> to the South China Morning Post.

Anthropic IPO: Founders Can Retain Voting Control for the Long Term
CoinWorld news, DeItaone reports that Anthropic's founders may retain 50.1% of shareholder voting rights long after an IPO, even if they sell nearly all of their shares. Special Class F shares controlled by Anthropic Founders LLC grant the founders majority voting power as long as at least three founders remain in their roles. The structure also allows departing founders to be replaced by members who have served for 10 years, potentially extending control for decades. The key point is that Anthropic's IPO may offer investors economic returns but no substantive control over company decisions, raising important governance considerations.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has requested that Anthropic executives testify in court.
According to Axios, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has requested that executives from Anthropic testify in an investigation.
Solana: 1.5 million tokenized stock holders, SOL price holds near $100
CoinWorld data: The Solana network announced that the number of holding addresses in its tokenized stock market has reached 1.5 million, a fivefold increase compared with August, even though the SOL price is still hovering around $100 after several weeks of cryptocurrency selling pressure. According to the data, SOL traded near $101 on Monday, down from about $124 in early October. This growth shows that the adoption of tokenized stocks does not necessarily directly drive demand for Solana's native cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, outflows from Solana ETFs have also posed challenges to institutional demand. In the week of October 9, U.S. SOL funds recorded $24.8 million in outflows, ending a 14-week streak of inflows.
