Ethena Pay has begun rolling out the Earn+ feature, which claims that the dollar balance can earn a target annual reward of up to 12%. Initially, it is open to Pro and VIP users, with plans to expand to all users in the coming days. This feature will transfer funds from the main payment balance to an external Upshift vault, where Steakhouse Financial will execute a leveraged USDe strategy on Aave, aiming for a yield higher than the app's existing maximum tiered reward of 6%.According to documents released by Ethena Pay, the vault targets approximately 11 times leverage on Aave v4 on Avalanche, packaging repeated borrowing and reinvestment into a one-click deposit. The specific path involves depositing USDe as collateral, borrowing USDT, and then using the borrowed tokens to purchase more USDe in a loop, with returns depending on whether the USDe rewards can cover the USDT borrowing costs. Ethena Pay states that it only provides the interface and does not guarantee the assets, and users must bear the risk of vault losses, which may result in losing part or all of their invested funds.Ethena Pay claims that the simplified interface does not eliminate liquidation risk; when collateral is insufficient to cover debts, positions will face liquidation, with liquidators repaying debts and taking collateral and rewards. The 12% is only a target and not a guaranteed return, rates may be adjusted downwards, and Earn+ balances do not enjoy the Daily Boost of the main account. This product has no lock-up period, no fees for deposits or withdrawals, and withdrawals are processed to the main dollar account within 24 hours but may be delayed, and are not considered insured bank deposits. The initial total capacity limit for the vault is $4.5 million, with individual limits of $50,000 and $200,000 for Pro and VIP users, respectively, and $20,000 for Standard users.

Goldman Sachs' latest research shows that over the past three weeks, semiconductor stock exposure has been able to explain about 54% of the return performance differences between different asset classes, while oil price exposure accounts for only 2%. As the influence of AI trading continues to expand, technology stocks are becoming an important factor driving global market risk appetite and asset performance differentiation.Goldman Sachs pointed out that recent investor risk appetite has been highly synchronized with the relative performance of large technology stocks. Last week, concerns about AI investment returns, financing costs, and capital expenditures intensified, leading to a sell-off in technology stocks and corporate bonds, with Goldman Sachs' risk appetite indicator falling to its lowest level since April 2025. The South Korean stock market has become a typical case of this impact, with the KOSPI rising 3.1% on Tuesday, and SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics increasing by 5.2% and 4.2%, respectively.Due to the high weight of semiconductor stocks in the Korea Composite Stock Price Index, changes in global AI investment expectations directly affect local market performance. Goldman Sachs emphasized that the 54% and 2% figures reflect a statistical relationship within a specific time window and do not imply that AI factors long-term determine global market fluctuations; the impact of high oil prices on inflation, monetary policy, and asset pricing cannot be ignored. Major technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are about to announce their earnings reports, and the market will focus on whether AI demand can continue to grow and whether massive capital expenditures can be converted into actual profits.

The humanoid robot company Yushu Technology (688836.SH) announced that the cumulative price deviation of the company's stock closing price has exceeded 30% over three consecutive trading days, which falls under the category of abnormal stock trading fluctuations. As of October 26, 2026, the company's rolling price-to-earnings ratio is 465.22 times, significantly higher than the average rolling price-to-earnings ratio of 38.54 times in the general equipment manufacturing industry.The announcement pointed out that the humanoid robot industry is still in the early stages of commercialization, with uncertainties in technology maturity, cultivation of downstream market demand, and supporting capabilities in the industrial chain. The transition of physical AI technology from laboratory demonstrations to large-scale implementation in real-world scenarios still faces challenges such as perception accuracy, motion control stability, data accumulation, and hardware-software collaboration. The maturity of the technological path and business model still requires time for validation. If the industry's large-scale commercialization progress does not meet expectations, the company's future revenue expansion and performance release may be adversely affected, posing investment risks of valuation regression.

According to an exclusive report by the East Asia Daily on October 26, the memory chip company SK Hynix plans to return 80% of the proceeds from the sale of its stake in the Japanese NAND manufacturer Kioxia to shareholders as a special dividend. The report cites investment banks and financial industry sources estimating the related proceeds to be around 20 trillion Korean won, with the special dividend expected to be about 16 trillion Korean won. The company intends to announce this plan during the third-quarter earnings release on October 28. Currently, this is an industry expectation and not an officially confirmed announcement by the company.Based on the current number of shares issued, the special dividend amounts to approximately 23,000 Korean won per share, which is 15 times the annual fixed dividend of 1,500 Korean won per share and 61 times the quarterly dividend of 375 Korean won. Whether the payment will be made in installments is still under consideration. Last year's total dividend was 2.1 trillion Korean won. The company stated during the second-quarter earnings call that it is exploring various additional ways to return value to shareholders and will share the details once determined within the year.In 2018, SK Hynix participated in a consortium led by Bain Capital to acquire the NAND business spun off from Toshiba, which was renamed Kioxia in 2019. The total investment by the company was approximately 395 billion Japanese yen, of which the fund's contribution has been sold in phases by Bain and fully recovered. In the first quarter of this year, part of the disposal recovered 4.1178 trillion Korean won, and after further disposal in the second quarter, the estimated proceeds, excluding the principal, are around 20 trillion Korean won. Kioxia's stock price rose from about 10,000 Japanese yen at the end of last year to a historical high of 112,700 Japanese yen on June 22 this year.

According to Bloomberg data, the expected price-to-earnings ratio of South Korea's KOSPI index for the next 12 months has fallen to 4.2 times, becoming the first trillion-dollar market on record to drop below the 5 times threshold. Among the 18 markets with a market capitalization exceeding 1 trillion dollars at the beginning of this year, this situation has never occurred with a benchmark index before.The cooling of the AI boom has triggered a sell-off in technology stocks, putting pressure on the South Korean stock market. Although South Korea's exports are approaching 1 trillion dollars, the demand for chips from SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics remains strong, but investors are still unwilling to pay higher valuations for the earnings of related companies. The valuation of the South Korean stock market is now close to that of the Indonesian market, which is facing the risk of an MSCI downgrade, with the discount level further widening. Bloomberg comments that extremely low valuations may create space for future valuation recovery. If sentiment turns, South Korean stocks are expected to outperform other markets in the short term, but it is uncertain when the recovery will start and whether there will be further declines; a low price-to-earnings ratio itself does not mean that it has already hit bottom.

According to The Block, American fintech company SoFi Technologies announced the launch of SoFi Earn, product code SOFIE, which is an interest-bearing tokenized deposit with an annual yield of 4.4%, and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) within applicable limits.SoFi stated that this is the first time a national bank in the United States has directly offered tokenized deposits to individual customers. Each SOFIE corresponds to a $1 deposit at SoFi Bank, and members can exchange it for the stablecoin SoFiUSD at a 1:1 ratio through SoFi Crypto, which can be used to purchase cryptocurrencies or transferred to supported external wallets at any time. Deposits continue to earn interest before the exchange, while SoFiUSD, like other stablecoins, is not a deposit insured by the FDIC.SoFi expects to complete the full launch for crypto members in November. The company plans to launch consumer crypto trading in November 2025, followed by the introduction of SoFiUSD. In May of this year, it integrated with the consumer-facing app, and SoFi Crypto currently supports trading for over 40 types of crypto assets. CEO Anthony Noto stated that he hopes funds will continue to generate returns before being used, combining the benefits and protection of bank deposits with the speed and utility of digital assets.

According to Beating reports, Lei Feng Network interviewed several headhunters and found that major domestic internet companies are tightening their recruitment quotas but are still willing to break salary limits for top AI talents. Headhunters revealed that this year, some outstanding fresh graduates in foundational model directions have annual packages reaching 2 million yuan; ByteDance Seed and Xiaohongshu's highest offers have reached 4 million to 5 million yuan, while Baidu is in the range of 2 million to 3 million yuan.The high salaries for talent are exacerbating internal salary discrepancies. An internet professional stated that some employees in foundational models have lower job levels but earn more than their higher-level colleagues. Similar situations emerged as early as 2017; an experienced engineer recalled that at that time, a returnee fresh graduate who joined a year later and was at a lower job level had a monthly salary 10,000 yuan higher than his own, leading to a monthly turnover of about 10% in a team of over thirty people.Headhunters noted that application-side positions are shrinking, while foundational model teams still lack individuals who can truly train large models. Coding Agents, model evaluation, pre-training data, and Agent infrastructure have become new focal points for talent acquisition; DeepSeek has recently been expanding its recruitment for backend developers and Agent Infra engineers, while the hiring enthusiasm in areas like AI search has decreased. Companies are not only looking at academic qualifications and papers but also place greater importance on whether candidates have actually trained large-scale models in leading teams; the salaries and responsibilities of scarce talents can be negotiated separately, while competition among ordinary AI job seekers is more intense.
