The Oxford Economic Research Institute stated that the GDP growth rate in the United States for the third quarter reached 3.4%, exceeding expectations, reflecting the ongoing investment boom in artificial intelligence.The report pointed out that private fixed investment has increased significantly, and future economic growth will unusually depend on corporate investment. The wealth effect related to artificial intelligence has supported some consumer spending, but the reliance on investment is a risk worth noting.

According to Kevin Gordon, the Chief Macro Research and Strategy Officer at Charles Schwab, the current economic backdrop remains relatively favorable for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Even as we enter multiple rate hike cycles, the U.S. economy is likely to remain robust.He pointed out that rate hike cycles are often accompanied by significant market volatility. According to historical data he cited, within 12 months of the Federal Reserve initiating a rate hike cycle, the average maximum decline of the S&P 500 index exceeds 10%.Analysis also indicates that interest rate policy is just one of the factors affecting stock prices. Currently, investments in the AI sector and inflation driven by rising oil prices seem to be the main factors driving the stock market.

According to The Block, the stock price of Nasdaq-listed company Datavault AI plummeted nearly 50% after the company stated that it has been unable to withdraw its stored BTC from the Biconomy cryptocurrency exchange since June 2026.The Bitcoin comes from a stock transaction with Scilex Holding in September 2025, where Scilex agreed to pay $150 million in BTC to purchase Datavault stock and warrants. The BTC was credited to Datavault's Biconomy wallet through an off-chain transfer.

a16z Frontier founding partner Chris Dixon stated that early Web2 platforms were built on fragile tacit agreements: independent creators, bloggers, news media, and community volunteers contributed high-quality content for free, while platforms provided traffic distribution, audience accumulation, and commercial revenue opportunities.He pointed out that after forming a monopoly through network effects, platforms continuously tightened algorithms, forcing creators to pay for traffic. With the advent of the generative AI era, large model companies collect long-accumulated content from the entire internet through crawlers and directly provide answers in search and Q&A interfaces, no longer diverting traffic to the original websites, thus severing the economic cycle of independent creators.Dixon believes that if this trend continues, high-quality original content may be depleted, and the internet could be flooded with low-quality machine-generated content. He proposed that verifiable data ownership could be established through blockchain protocols, allowing data calls, reasoning, and training to be traceable and automatically receive economic returns. Reshaping this contract is one of the important missions of the Frontier fund.

Aethir today announced a significant adjustment to the ATH token economic mechanism. Starting from November 2026, the platform will extract a portion of the network fees daily to burn ATH, with the tokens permanently sent to a public burn address (0x000...dEaD), and the scale of the burn will fluctuate based on the actual network computing power usage.At the same time, the fixed platform fee will be replaced by a floating network fee, with the rate being read in real-time through TWAP based on market conditions; in a bear market, the rate will decrease, and the proportion of the burn will increase. The Cloud Host emission schedule will not be affected, and the fees will have a cap that will never exceed the value of the Host rewards. The burn Dashboard will launch simultaneously with the first burn, and this mechanism has been audited by CertiK.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon stated in an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal that the current state of the U.S. economy is strong, with significant growth in corporate profits, a low unemployment rate, and overall low leverage for businesses and consumers. He described this as a good time. Dimon also pointed out that several potential risks are accumulating beneath the surface, including persistent inflation that has lasted for five years, large fiscal deficits, and geopolitical uncertainties such as overseas wars.He emphasized that predicting the specific timing and triggers of an economic downturn is extremely difficult, as the eventual recession is often caused by a combination of factors that cannot be accurately assessed at present. When discussing how banks should respond, Dimon stated that JPMorgan Chase conducts extremely in-depth analyses of various risks to ensure that the bank can withstand shocks whether interest rates rise or fall, and whether inflation or stagflation occurs, while continuing to serve clients during difficult times. He mentioned that the bank is prepared for extreme scenarios such as a 40% drop in the stock market and a two to three times widening of bond credit spreads, rather than trying to guess when these scenarios will happen. The core principle is to be well-prepared to continuously support businesses and communities in various environments.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, the South Korean Ministry of Finance and Economy has convened a seminar on virtual asset taxation with five exchange operators: Dunamu, Bithumb, DigitalX, Coinone, and Streami, as well as institutions like the Financial Services Commission, to discuss current taxation regulations, market environment, tax preparation work, and the possibility of delaying or abolishing the tax, but no clear decisions have been made regarding related measures.South Korea's virtual asset taxation policy was established in 2020, originally scheduled for implementation in 2022, but has since been postponed to 2023, 2025, and 2027. The National Tax Service of South Korea is currently preparing relevant details, but matters such as staking still need to be negotiated with the Ministry of Finance and Economy; if the details are announced next month, there will be only about two months left until the planned implementation date.

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde stated that the 3.8% inflation rate in the Eurozone for September primarily reflects high energy costs, and the European Central Bank expects some relief next year. She pointed out that energy shocks are expected to keep Eurozone inflation above the central bank's target in the first half of 2027, but it is still appropriate to adopt a cautious policy response at this time. This statement was made on Saturday during the International Monetary Fund annual meeting.Lagarde also mentioned that the European Central Bank is designing a digital euro. She stated that in the retail payments sector, the European Central Bank is preparing to supplement cash in digital form by launching a digital euro for everyday payments. The digital euro will further stimulate innovation and competition in the retail payments sector, ensuring the continued coexistence of public and private solutions, thereby supporting Europe's strategic autonomy in the payments field.Previously, Cointelegraph reported on September 21 that the European Central Bank had launched the Pontes system, allowing financial institutions to settle wholesale tokenized asset transactions in central bank currency, providing an alternative for private settlement assets such as stablecoins. The system initially offers a set of core services, with full implementation expected by 2028.
