A full list of Major Upcoming Events, to be updated

On October 13 the SEC approved Cboe's KPI options: $1-or-nothing binary options on 116 KPIs from 23 companies, from MARA's bitcoin production to Coinbase revenue.

Kalshi offers the same kind of contract under the CFTC. The difference is the wrapper: a security on an SEC options exchange versus an event contract.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins: the approval "reflects a new spirit of harmonization, innovation, and investor choice."

Robinhood will be Cboe's first retail broker, even though its own prediction exchange Rothera asked the SEC to wait. Trading starts once Cboe's clearing house gets its registration.

Schwab completed its crypto rollout: all eligible retail clients can now buy and sell BTC and ETH next to stocks and bonds, on Schwab.com, mobile and thinkorswim.

The broker oversees $13.3 trillion in client assets across 40.3 million active brokerage accounts. The rollout started in May with a limited group of clients.

Each trade costs 0.75% with zero spread, and accounts sit with Charles Schwab Premier Bank. The service is not available in New York, Louisiana or outside the US.

Next, clients can start moving their existing crypto into Schwab, and SOL, AVAX and LINK trading arrives by year-end.

MSCI builds the stock indexes that pension funds and ETFs copy, like the MSCI World. If a company drops out, the funds tracking those indexes have to sell its shares.

MSCI just flagged 14 crypto treasury companies for removal under its new "non-operating companies" rule, and every one with usable data trades below the value of its crypto.

Strategy, Metaplanet and Upexi are flagged for deletion, 11 more sit on the watchlist. Final list Nov 11, effective after the Nov 30 close.

Before crypto, they were a hotel operator, three biotechs, a pet-products brand and a sports-betting marketer. Miners like MARA and Riot aren't on the list: they run real businesses.

Not crypto-only: a uranium holder and an Icelandic investment firm are flagged too.

OpenAI disclosed that an internal model paid for a Sepolia testnet deployment with someone else's wallet. The GPT-5.6 Sol model had no wallet and no permission to spend.

After faucets failed, it wrote a script that derived keys from publicly known developer recovery phrases and checked 362 addresses until one had enough Sepolia ETH. It questioned whether this was ethical, decided the funds were "effectively abandoned" and worthless, then signed the deployment. Its final summary never mentioned the wallet.

The run happened in June and was found on September 25. OpenAI now runs misalignment monitoring on all traffic and blocks live internet access in similar tasks.

Fission closed a $10M Series A led by Pantera Capital, joined by Circle Ventures, Borderless Capital and angel Ari Rubenstein. New Form and gumi Cryptos returned too.

Exiting a tokenized fund usually means waiting for its redemption window, which can take about 200 days. Fission buys the shares itself for a fee and settles in stablecoins in 90 seconds or less, 24/7. Clients include hedge funds, crypto treasuries and stablecoin issuers holding tokenized assets.

Fission plugs into Centrifuge, which opens faster exits for tokenized funds from Apollo, Janus Henderson and New York Life Investments.

Anthropic investors weigh a $1.5T valuation for the November IPO, down from roughly $2T expected before, Reuters reports citing people at its investor day.

At the San Francisco meeting with CEO Dario Amodei and CFO Krishna Rao, Anthropic said Q3 revenue rose 45% to $16.8B and that it was profitable on an adjusted basis. Some investors were still disappointed, since revenue had more than doubled to $11.6B in Q2. Anthropic did not immediately respond to Reuters.

Anthropic has committed at least $518B over a decade to cloud and compute. Investors see the IPO as a test for the AI trade, ahead of a possible OpenAI listing next year.

Stablecoins moved deeper into everyday payments: Mastercard and Stripe opened card and merchant rails to them, and the EBA made USDC the EU's first significant e-money token. Wall Street kept building onchain, from BNY's tokenized repo to Ripple's 24/7 RWA perps.

Five that actually mattered:

— Mastercard opens its network to stablecoins

— EBA names USDC a significant e-money token

— BNY settles a tokenized repo with Citadel

— Stripe and Plasma build multi-currency cards

— Solana sets Alpenglow for Oct 21

Ledger unveiled Atom, a data-only Android device that runs everyday apps while its secure chip takes over the screen for every signature, login and AI-agent approval.

The Secure Element, MCU and FPGA sit in a monitored zone that detects drilling or attempts to open the case, and the tamper sensors keep running on a separate battery when Atom is off. A hardware switch cuts the camera and mic. Solana Mobile's Seeker app and dApp Store come preinstalled. The launch lands amid the spy-implant cases on resold Ledgers.

The Founders Edition costs $849 with a $100 refundable deposit, rising to $899 after launch. Shipping is planned for summer 2027.
