The OKXICE joint venture wants to trade tokenized versions of over 60 US stocks around the clock in permissioned DeFi pools on X Layer OKX and New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange are preparing to launch a 24/7 venue for trading tokenized US stocks, according to a regulatory notice filed by their joint venture. OKXICE, a 50-50 joint venture between ICE and OKX’s US parent, submitted a public notice dated October 4 detailing plans to operate a Tokenized Securities Venue under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s recently introduced innovation exemption. The venue plans to make tokenized shares of more than 60 companies available around the clock, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Coinbase, Robinhood, Circle, Strategy, JPMorgan and SpaceX. Trading will take place through permissioned Uniswap v4 automated market maker pools deployed on OKX’s XLayer blockchain. Each stock will trade against USDC, USDG or USDT rather than through a traditional order book. The system will remain permissioned despite running on a public blockchain. Investors must complete identity verification, anti-money laundering and sanctions screening before receiving a non-transferable soulbound token that authorizes their wallet to interact with the venue. That authorization is checked before trades, transfers and liquidity actions. Advertisement OKXICE will not custody customer assets or extend credit. Investors instead trade through self-custodial wallets, while transactions settle atomically on XLayer without a clearing agency, central counterparty or netting process. Where a stock is tokenized by a third party rather than the issuer, a registered broker-dealer must hold the underlying shares one-for-one against the outstanding tokens.

The structure was made possible by an SEC order issued September 17 that grants qualifying Tokenized Securities Venues a five-year conditional exemption from registration as an exchange. The regulator also provided conditional dealer exemptions for certain firms supplying liquidity to the AMM pools. The exemption does not amount to the SEC individually approving OKXICE. The venue must comply with conditions covering shareholder rights, trading volumes, public smart contracts, issuer objections and trading halts, and the SEC can take enforcement action if it operates outside those conditions. Companies also retain the ability to prevent unaffiliated third parties from tokenizing their shares for trading on a TSV. Cerebras Systems has already submitted an issuer objection to OKXICE, according to the filing. The SEC’s exemption requires issuers to receive advance notice and an opportunity to object before third-party-tokenized shares begin trading. The filing builds on a partnership between OKX and ICE announced earlier this year. ICE invested in OKX in March at a $25 billion valuation, with the companies outlining plans to connect OKX customers with ICE futures and NYSE tokenized equity markets. They subsequently created the 50-50 joint venture in June to develop regulated blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The move also puts OKXICE into a broader race among established exchanges and crypto companies to extend US equity trading beyond traditional market hours. Reuters reported that the NYSE, Nasdaq and London Stock Exchange are all working on initiatives aimed at expanding round-the-clock trading.

CNN's Jake Tapper gave White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett a rather inconvenient reality check when he asked him to explain Donald J. Trump’s boast that the country is enjoying “the best economic numbers ever.” The problem? The actual numbers don't seem particularly interested in cooperating with Trump’s self-congratulatory assessment. “So let’s break down the economic numbers,” Tapper said. “Growth is a modest 2.2%. Unemployment is relatively low, but ticking up a bit at 4.2%. Hiring is weak, only 29,000 jobs added in September. July and August were revised down. Inflation is at 3.4%. Prices rose 0.4% in August. "Wage growth is at a five-year low. Hourly wages are down 0.3% over the past year," he continued. "So, assessing it here, it’s a growing economy, but hiring is slow. Wages are not keeping up with rising prices. So, what is the president talking about when he says it’s the best economic numbers ever? Is he misinformed or is he not telling the truth?” Tapper pressed Hassett on the glaring disconnect between Trump’s rosy claims and what the economic data—and Americans themselves—are showing. Hassett, naturally, had an explanation: If people aren't feeling like the economy is fantastic, perhaps they simply aren't appreciating how fantastic it supposedly is. "Well, it's true that the polls, which have gotten the president's success wrong every time, have been saying that people are looking a little bit depressed about the economy, but if you look at their actions, the actions speak way louder than words," Hassett replied. "And so what we know from the economic literature is that if people are worried about whether they're gonna lose their job, if they're worried about whether they're gonna get a pay cut, then they start reducing their consumption and increasing their savings," he continued. "It's called the buffer stock theory of savings." "And so what we see right now is that people are really, really optimistic about the future, about their future incomes, because they're spending really, really at record levels," he continued. Then Tapper played a clip of JD Vance admitting that prices are high. "Now he blamed Democrats for the high prices, but is he wrong that prices are high?" Tapper said. "Oh, prices are high in the sense that inflation went up about 20% under Joe Biden, and the inflation rate has gone way, way down," Hassett insisted. “The hard data are radically inconsistent with the polls,” Hassett said. “And so, which do you believe, the government hard data or the polls that have been wrong about every single election since I can remember?” “But the government hard data is that only 29,000 jobs were created!” Tapper shot back. “Oh, come on! That’s just last month,” Hassett said, then Tapper noted that previous months’ numbers were revised. “Two years ago, President Trump said he thought he could get mortgage rates down to 3% or even lower. Last week, mortgage rates had the biggest weekly jump in four years. It’s more than 7%," Tapper said. "Why has President Trump failed to deliver on that promise?” Hassett somehow insisted that "The economy is booming." "The economy is booming" is doing some heavy lifting while Americans can't afford healthcare, groceries, or housing.

Why can a stronger economy make your loan more expensive? Team TOI Plus TIMESOFINDIA.COM Oct 05, 2026, 18:16 IST IST The RBI may be about to raise the repo rate for the first time since February 2023. Here’s why a stronger economy can make your loan more expensive — and how inflation, banks, savings rates, the rupee and the US Fed all fit into the same story Most analysts believe the RBI is going to raise the repo rate after more than three and a half years. The three-day meeting of its monetary policy committee (MPC) runs till October 7, and if this does happen, loans are likely to get more expensive while savers could earn a little more on deposits. "We expect a first rate hike by the MPC on October 7 as the domestic inflation trajectory sees upside risks from higher global oil prices," Barclays economists Aastha Gudwani and Amruta Ghare wrote in a research note. “We now sense that the RBI has little reason to wait, given visibility of growth remains high, inflation appears to be broadening," Bank of America Global Research’s Rahul Bajoria told Reuters. And in an interview with Bloomberg Television, JPMorgan chief India economist Sajjid Chinoy said, “We expect there’ll be a 25 basis point hike in October and one more in December. ” His reasoning was that inflation is heading materially higher after an unusually benign year, while energy and other price pressures are building.

Bitcoin (BTC) is showing renewed bullish momentum after reclaiming a key long-term market indicator, with BTC holding above $85,000 after breaking through a major seller wall. Notably, the crypto asset climbed to $87,096 on October 2, its highest level since September 23, before pulling back slightly. The move marked a 15.6% recovery from its September 15 low of $75,170 and pushed BTC above a resistance zone that had capped its gains for much of the week. Now, analysts are watching whether the latest momentum can hold. In a Saturday tweet, CryptoQuant highlighted one of the most important developments in Bitcoin’s on-chain data, saying its MVRV Z-Score has moved above its 365-day average. The analytics platform said the move has historically represented an important change in Bitcoin’s market momentum. “Bitcoin’s MVRV Z-Score just broke ABOVE its 365-day average. Historically, reclaiming this moving average has been an important shift in market momentum. Now the key is whether Bitcoin can stay above it,” it stated. For context, MVRV compares Bitcoin’s market value with the realized value of coins on the network. A sustained move above the long-term average can indicate improving market conditions. CryptoQuant’s data also showed that Bitcoin’s 1-to-3-month holders are sitting on their largest unrealized profits since May 2025. The cohort currently has an average unrealized profit margin of 24%, suggesting that recent buyers have gained substantial exposure to the rally. Elsewhere, James Thorne, Chief Market Strategist at Wellington Altus, also sees a broader improvement in Bitcoin’s technical structure. Thorne said Bitcoin’s weekly chart is showing a strong setup after the recent correction held around the rising 200-week moving average. “Bitcoin’s weekly chart is one of the best-looking setups in the market,” Thorne wrote. He noted that Bitcoin’s 30-week and 40-week exponential moving averages have turned upward since the June low, with price reclaiming both measures. According to the strategist, this represents an intermediate trend shift from bearish to bullish while the longer-term uptrend remains intact. Thorne also pointed to improving weekly momentum and changing market fundamentals. He argued that regulated stablecoins, tokenized Treasuries and on-chain settlement are helping move Bitcoin and digital assets beyond a purely speculative market. “Yes, a Super Cycle,” Thorne added. Moreover, the bullish signals arrive as Bitcoin clears an important technical obstacle. Glassnode recently identified a significant concentration of sell orders between $85,000 and $85,500 on Binance’s spot market. That supply zone had restricted Bitcoin’s advance for roughly a week. Buyers eventually absorbed the resistance on October 2, allowing BTC to push toward $87,000. After the breakout, sell orders above the market declined, and some existing orders were canceled. The next major resistance sits around $87,400, according to QCP, which identified the level as September’s high. Above that, $90,000 becomes an important psychological and options-market target. On the downside, QCP sees $82,500 as a key support area. At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $85,990, up 0.86% in the past 24 hours.

CryptoQuant's Darkfost says the meme coin share of altcoin market cap has fallen to roughly 3% as altcoins pull ahead Meme coins have spent years as crypto’s loudest corner. Lately, they have been one of its smallest. On October 5, 2026, CryptoQuant on-chain analyst Darkfost reported that meme coins now make up roughly 3% of total altcoin market capitalization. The ratio sits at 0.027, an all-time low for the metric. How far meme coins have fallen The metric compares the combined market value of meme coins against the total market value of altcoins, meaning crypto assets other than Bitcoin. Back in July 2026, the ratio had already dropped to 3.7%. At the time, that marked the lowest reading since February 2024. Advertisement The contrast with the recent past is stark. During the meme coin season of November 2024, the ratio peaked above 10%. Why the gap keeps widening Darkfost pointed to several forces behind the decline. The first is straightforward: altcoins have simply performed better than meme coins in recent months. The news moving money, markets, and the world—before your day starts. Daily. Free.

A steady stream of new meme coins has flooded the market, spreading available liquidity across an ever-growing list of tokens. The third factor is interest, or the lack of it. According to the research, the number of meme coin holders has fallen to multi-year lows. A rebound signal, or just a low reading Darkfost did not frame the data as purely bearish. He noted that extreme performance divergences like this one have historically left the door open for a meme coin recovery. In late 2025, the ratio dipped to around 3.2%. What followed was a notable bounce. In early 2026, tokens including Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Bonk staged recoveries after that low reading. Today’s ratio sits even lower than the late 2025 trough that preceded the last rally. Still, Darkfost cautioned that the current data, on its own, does not provide a clear signal that a reversal is coming. Who is behind the data Darkfost is a recognized contributor at CryptoQuant, an on-chain analytics firm. His work is frequently cited by major outlets, including Cointelegraph and Bloomberg.

The Tom Lee-chaired company added 15,112 ETH over the past week and now holds 6.02 million tokens, with 5.07 million already staked. Bitmine Immersion Technologies said Monday that its ether holdings have surpassed 6 million tokens, bringing the company within striking distance of its goal of owning 5% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply. The company held 6,016,414 ETH as of Oct. 4, valued at roughly $16.4 billion based on an ether price of $2,726. That represents about 4.9% of Ethereum’s estimated 122.1 million token supply. Bitmine added 15,112 ETH over the past week. Chairman Tom Lee said the company has purchased ether every week since launching its treasury strategy on June 30, 2025. Advertisement The latest purchases leave Bitmine about 89,000 ETH short of the 6.1 million tokens needed to reach 5% of the current supply, putting it roughly 99% of the way toward what the company calls its “Alchemy of 5%” target. Bitmine said its total crypto, cash, marketable securities and other investments are now worth $17.4 billion. Alongside its ether position, the company holds 214 bitcoin, $643 million in cash and marketable securities, a $180 million stake in Beast Industries and a $117 million position in Eightco Holdings.

The company said 5.07 million ETH, or about 84% of its holdings, is currently staked and worth approximately $13.8 billion. Bitmine projected annualized staking revenue of about $363 million based on a seven-day yield of 2.63%. If its entire ether treasury were eventually staked through its MAVAN platform and other partners, the company estimates annual staking rewards could reach roughly $431 million. The company launched MAVAN, or Made in America Validator Network, earlier this year as an institutional staking platform originally designed to support its own treasury. Bitmine has since expanded the service to institutional investors, custodians and other ecosystem participants. Bitmine also highlighted its equity performance relative to ether. Lee said ETH fell about 10% during the first nine months of 2026 while BMNR shares declined around 3%, which he attributed partly to actions including the repurchase of 21 million shares during the year. The company remains the largest publicly disclosed ether treasury and the second-largest corporate crypto treasury overall behind Strategy, according to Bitmine.
